Before Kung Fu Panda 4 releases, now would be a good time to share Shen's deleted and developmental footage.

(Some of these appeared in the novelization.)

After reading @99corentine 49th chapter, I thought about a lot of references about Chry's past. There will be spoilers about KFP2, Blue Eye Samurai and the fic GOL HAH DOV, but mind you : if a piece of media isn't enjoyable because you got spoiled, then maybe it isn't well made (unless it's an Agatha Christie but the whole point of her novels was the mystery) so bear with me.

In chapter 49, Chry wants to know about his past after a strange and stressful encounter with Elenwen. He tries to return to the place where he first awoke, one year before the events of this chapter, but without any success. He upset for several things, for his loss of memory of course but also the fact that he might have a family and even a spouse (with his ring at the marriage finger) that didn't go after him.

Firstly, there's the feeling of emptiness and shame about his worthlessness, how he compares himself to Miraak, someone who was important even as a pawn of Hermaeus Mora, when he was just good enough to be left behind by his supposed relatives and be used as a thrall by a cruel man in a foreign country. Chry feels like that all the glory he had in one year, even after killing Alduin, was nothing, like a fraud, that he's just worthless (these thoughts happens just when he has the post prophecy blues, like Teldryn said, so yeah Chry might feel depressed). That his past is was he is at core. Which isn't true but he believes it and that's something a lot of us can relate to (golden child syndrome, school failure, broken dreams, childhood trauma, etc.).

Fortunately, Miraak reminds him that Chry was the one who believed he could be a better version of himself, going to tyrant to leader (even though he still is at the head of a cult lmao), that his actions helped and saved so many people and that he's a great hypocrite for telling others they can be better when he tell himself the contrary.

It reminds us ofc of Paarthunax's iconic wise words "What is better ? To be born good or to overcome your evil nature though great efforts?" But I feel it echoes better to Miraak's case because he was in fact evil and became a bit more grayer thought the story, whereas Chry has forgotten his past and was just lost and miserable. In this case I was reminded of this sentence in Kung Fu Panda 2 : when Po discovers the calcined remains of his childhood village (that he forgot about because of PTSD), he's feeling sad and ashamed that his birth was in bloodshed and suffering, but the soothsayer who saved him says to him "Your story may have not such a happy beginning, but it doesn't make you who you are. It is the rest of your story. Who you choose to be." And that's pretty much Chry's case : he awoke in a place of suffering and when he left, he wanted to have a life of his own and to be greater than what he was before, to be in control. Man the parallels between him and Miraak are even greater ksjsjsks

Then let's return to the family problem. Even better (or worse idk), the spouse problem. If Chry had any family left in the Summerset Isles, they didn't care to go after him when he was gone missing.

There are several theories about why Chry wasn't found, if he ever had relatives : the first thing is that he's of mixed heritage because he has a greater physical strength than all the other altmer altogether and most importantly striking blue eyes ; altmer people don't have blue eyes* and it's a great deal for almost every Alinor citizens to be of pure lineage, so imagine having in your family a very unusual child with characteristics a little bit too close to Nords'. You just want to get rid of it to avoid shame on your family.

(*nota bene : in Skyrim game, altmer people only can have amber, golden or emerald eyes, whereas in ESO you can have them have blue eyes, but we're following Skyrim's logic here)

So if we follow this theory, Chry's supposed family wanted to get rid of this problematic scion, either by banishment... or marriage. A marriage that didn't go well at some point. And that's when I got reminded of Blue Eye Samurai (incredible series on Netflix, go watch it). Some context : in the Edo period (17th century in Japan), we follow the revenge journey of Mizu, a lonely samurai with mixed heritage (a Japanese mother and an unknown white father) with striking blue eyes. These eyes disgraced them because it was considered demonic at this time in Japan (like in ancient Greece, blue eyes were either vulgar or bad omens).

At some point in their story, Mizu finds their mother who they thought died years ago in a fire. She wants them to marry an old samurai who, like them, is a castaway, so they can in some way redeem themselves for their shameful life and at least be a good bride. They get married and although Mizu is a bit reluctant at first (because of how are viewed their eyes), them and the samurai fall in love with each other and have lovely years together as an odd couple. But it falls apart when Mizu wants to show their incredible battle skills to their husband, who gets scared and angry, calling them a monster, because deep down he still had this bias that blue eyes are demonic and bringer of destruction (an onryo). That he only loved Mizu because they were behaving despite their mixed heritage.

He betrays them, bringing mercenaries to kill them and Mizu, deeply hurt and enraged, kills everyone and run away to pursue their revenge of getting rid of the four white men who lives secretly in Japan. But I digress

Maybe something similar happened to Chry, that when he discovered his thu'um, he got shamed by his family/spouse and he went (or ran away) to Skyrim to search for answers or got abandoned here. Maybe we'll know and maybe we won't because there's still almost two chapters left for the fic to be finished and I am not well.

Anyway I had fun doing these parallels! Theories and psychanalyses my beloved.

Mizu my beloved

Hi, dearie, how’s everything? 😊

I wanted to ask for a story request, but I know you receiving so many requests can be very stressful, sometimes, but it’s just one. Can you do a Kung Fu Panda story that takes place after my KFP2 ending story “A Change of Heart?” It will be titled A Peafowl’s Nightmare. I did the beginning of the story from my art here in the description: https://www.deviantart.com/magicalhyena-fanart/art/Ming-s-Nightmare-956042655

The story starts after the ending of my story A Change of Heart (where Shen, Ming, Wolf Boss named Lang, and Soothsayer named Ah-ma had moved out from Po and the Furious Five to find a new place to stay), you know, and Ming starts to have a nightmare after she, Shen, Lang, and Ah-ma slept for the night. And at the end of the nightmare, Ming starts feeling heartbroken, but Shen (who slept next to her in their own room; as Lang and Ah-ma were in the other room for the night) realizes and the peacock comforts her that Jia was defeated and everything, including Po and the Furious Five are okay. Ming then feels better, thanks Shen, hugs him, and they kiss in love, and they go back to sleep after.

That’s how the story request goes. I hope you like this idea and I’m sorry if the requests stress you out when you do them! ^u^

I hope you have a good April Fools day btw! ❤️

Sure!! I’ll be happy to write this!!

11 and 49 for Soothsayer?

honest favorite character asks

11. How did you “fall in love” with this character?

not even joking, it was because i rewatched kfp2 on tv.

like i knew kfp2 was good back then and i watched it in theatres, but tv rewatches have something in them that makes my brain go ""hm yes. you will now put all your attention and efforts on this media property and specific character for the forseeable future".

(its literally what happened for the cu movie for me too, lol. soothsayer, krupp, and captain share that distinction, but soothsayer shares the distinction of being the first.)

49. What’s your favorite personality trait in this character?

i think the interplay of her bluntness/honesty. her interactions with shen, before po shows up, there's a performative aspect to her sarcastic jabs and her assurance that a panda will defeat shen. because even she was expecting this to go down a certain way.

but all that bravado is dropped once she realizes that po has no idea what's going on and her dialogue shifts to something more genuine moving forward. though she still has one more small jab at po-- if she wanted him dead she would have left him in the river,
