Hey
Can i please hsc dating for Po (kung-fu panda)
What do you like about him?
AAAAA MY FIRST KUNG FU PANDA REQUEST!! I'd be delighted to do this anon Po is my 2nd favourite character after Tai Lung :>>>>>>
Synopsis: headcanons of dating Po the dragon warrior!
Pairing: Po x kung fu gn! Reader (Animal type is up to you)
Cw: headcanon, fluff, probably not proofread, Po is a sweetheart what else to say???
──────•❥❥❥•──────
Tumblr media
“What do you like about him?” someone asks you.
Po is the Dragon warrior of the valley of Peace, of course everyone loves him, but no one loves him more than you do.
When you and Po make it official, he basically would talk about it NON STOP.
Out on a mission? He tells the furious 5 that he misses you already, even though he just left the valley a minute ago.
AND can see your figure in the distance, watching him wave farewell by the bridge
Out to another part of China and staying at an inn? He’d tell the innkeeper about having a partner and would tell them all the amazing things about you
Maybe even the embarrassing ones too, but not on purpose!
He just pays close attention to you, loves you and every part of you
He fights enemies? Po had always been one to talk during battle. So to no one’s surprise, as he’s kicking butts he’d tell the enemy that he has a partner that he so adores, and who he misses so much
It gets pretty annoying for the enemies to the point they just have the urge to beat him up even more. Not they can but oh well.
One of Po’s favourite moments is when he sees your face when he comes back from a mission
Your smile and the way you’d run up to him to give him a big hug.
You're smaller than him, but even they he could feel how tight you wrap your (wings/paws/arms) around him.
Just by your hug alone he can tell how much you missed him as well
“Po you're back! How was the mission? Were you hurt?” you’d ask while checking his whole body for any cuts, injuries and bruises.
If you catch him come back home with an injury no matter how small, you’d yell and panic while dragging him back to the village to attend to him
Even if he tell you over and over it’s fine and that it doesn't hurt as much, you refuse to let him walk around with an injury
He loves that you care so much about him.
Po loves to bring back souvenirs for you as well when he goes out on a mission.
Be it keychains, posters, food or anything.
If he sees something cool that he knows you’d like he’d get it.
You appreciate all of the gifts he gives you and keep it on a shelf in your home that you have dedicated to the stuff Po gives you.
Whenever he visits your place, he’d take a glance at that shelf and smile to himself.
Happy that you appreciate his gifts enough to dedicate a whole shelf for it.
Po makes some of the best noodles in the village
He is the son of Mr. Ping, the goose who owns the best noodle shop in town
Whenever you both decide to have a chill date, you’d both go up your favourite hill and enjoy some of Po’s noodles
“Po seriously you can do EVERYTHING! Kick butts, save the world and make noodles!” you praised him, while gulping down his noodles
“Nahhh my dad makes the best noodles, but I am very good at kicking butts and saving the world" he chuckles, acting all so humble.
You don’t argue though
because even if he thinks he doesn’t make the best noodles, he is right about being good at his job as the dragon warrior.
Po also appreciates that you don’t date him just because he is the dragon warrior.
You don’t treat him like a trophy, make his job the main focus of everything.
You see Po for Po, and you are with him BECAUSE he is him, not the dragon warrior.
If Po starts doubting who he is as a person, you gently remind him and lead him back to the right path and show him who he truly is.
“Never lose sight of who you are, Po.”
When the valley is in danger, his very first instinct is to find you and protect you. He knows that the safety of everyone else in the valley is in good hands… paws and wings.
He’d (try) run to where you live and when he finds you he will be very relieved.
If you are unharmed this is how he’d react:
“(Name) I’m so glad you're safe” and just like you, he’d check your body for any injuries. “I’ll get you out of here okay? Just stay with my dad and I’ll find you once this is all over.”
“Okay, please be careful Po,” you nodded in agreement, holding his paws with a worried expression.
“I promise.” He would do anything to keep his promise. Po couldn't bear to break it
If you are harmed this is how he’d react:
When Po finds you harmed, be it with any of your body parts stuck under rubble or getting an injury that causes you to be in pain…
He’d panic and the anger sets in
He’d save you first, carry you bridal style and run away from the scene leaving the enemy (if there is any) with the furious 5 “You're going to be just fine (name)! I promise you so don’t leave me now!”
It’s clear in his face that he is very, very worried for you and your wellbeing
Po would put the blame on himself if he ever lost you.
Will think it's all his fault that he wasn't by your side to protect you
You being attentive as always even when in pain, realise this and gently smiled at him with all the strength you have left
“Po, I’m going to be just fine, okay? Don’t worry. I won’t leave you”
With your whispered reassurance, he becomes less tense and nods. Believing your words.
There was just no way you’d leave him here all alone. You will be with him through every step of the way, and him with you.
When everything is done and he defeats the enemy, he’ll find you ( and his dad) immediately.
Overall, Po would be a wonderful boyfriend. He may not be smart, but he does make you feel loved, safe, happy and content.
And that is truly, all that matters.
“Everything” you respond with a smile.

Random kfp headcanons that I had (that I am not making them up right now for a post, I just had these in my mind since forever)
- the release date of the movies are the birthdates of the villains (Tai Lung 6th of June, Shen 26th of May, Kai 29th of January)
- Obviously Tai doesn't know his birthday so they celebrate the day Shifu got him instead which is the 4th of July (I chose this date because it was the date that it aired on my country :3 )
-Meanwhile Tai and Shen have their family issues Kai has loving parents with a wholesome relationship and absolute no problems with.
"Okay I get it fine you're all without fathers alright"
K: I'm not
K: I love my dad
K: My dad's fucking awesome
- I headcanon the mixed animals offsprings work the same way in Beastars so the offspring won't be a mixed creature but rather just one of the parents
- Kai has a cow mother and a crocodile father.
- Shen's mom's mother is an Albatross.
- Both of Tai's parents are snow leopards
- I know people usually say that Po and Tai would be besties which I agree but among the villains I think his bestie would be Kai, they seemed to be getting along (almost) in the movie for me X)
- After the third film I cannot imagine Tigress and Po not having a panda daughter
- Tigress and Po has a panda daughter. One child
- Tigress becomes Shifu's succesor. Taking over the Jade Palace ( after it is rebuilt ) Teaching new generations
- Crane is the first one to marry among the five. Mantis is the last he's scared (didn't marry an other mantis oh god kajsksbdjs)
- Po is the youngest member and Mantis is the oldest
- Oogway and Kai met in the army but they knew eachother's existence before that. They just weren't talking to eachother at all
- Kai listens to Oogway's "deep talks". When he was young he couldn't exactly come up with words to explain what is in his mind and tell it, Kai watched him as he mixed 15 random words together to explain what his philosophical thoughts were
"You have an enlightenment every day"
-Shen had a close relationship with his parents till the age of 5. Then it fell apart
- Tai Lung used to count his spots regularly to see if he had grown any more. He stopped after he finished puberty
- I'll probably add more I just kinda don't remember all of them right now

Hey there, I just LOVE your blog and your HCs, keep it up! But do you have perhaps, by chance, any headcanons for Shifu and Mei Ling (the vixen from the series)?
Aye sure thing
Sorry if these headcanons look like I gave up on it and forgot what I was doing 🗿
*insert We Don't Talk Anymore by Charlie Puth here*
Bro I remember seeing that Shifu had a love interest back in the day for the first time I was absolutely s h o o k e t h 😂😂😂 Shifu was my fav character (and still is tbh) so yea that was a wild trip
I kinda feel them seeing the other again was extremely awkward, sort of how you would feel after seeing a classmate after many many years or smth... basically it was just really WEIRD. Not sure if this genuinely happened in the show since I haven't seen that episode in a long time but either way...
Speaking of which idk if they ever genuinely got back together but who cares lol. I see them as just distant mutuals.
Back in the day Mei Ling would know EXACTLY what to say to fluster Shifu, so she would tease him sometimes it was kinda funny ngl
I mean Mei Ling kinda gives that kind of vibe anyways.. Shifu got used to it really quick lol
Mei Ling stole a writing utensil from Shifu without him knowing in their primary school years and she never gave it back. To this day, she still has that writing utensil.
Shifu definitely chided Mei Ling on not doing honorable acts and basically was the more responsible one out of the pair, he was successful in getting her to not at the beginning of their friendship (and relationship ig) but later on it got harder and harder to convince her what she was doing was wrong
So eventually she just made up her mind, though I think a small part of Shifu still believes she can change. Quite stubborn but that's just how it is ig
Y'all think Shifu wonders about what went wrong and where it went wrong? Like I feel he holds himself very accountable and thinks about what he could have done differently to not lose Mei Ling like that, though a part of him knows that nothing would have made anything different
Also this whole shabang is a part of his past that he does not speak about but of course when Mei Ling showed up to the Jade Palace that got slapped in his face
Cant remember how the actual episode went but to me Shifu should have/definitely pulled the "we're not on speaking terms" card for a while LOL. At least not until he felt ready to confront Mei Ling. There was probably feelings of anger and also just confusion, because like.. what
Do people have any interest with a redemption arc between these guys?? I don't really care but idk wouldn't it be kind of cool if they can be on at least okay terms

Kung fu Panda headcanon:
Don't take this post too seriously. It's just my "what if" fantasy (in this post, the fourth part is not taken into account).
I think that the spirit world is much bigger than we were shown in the third part. I believe that absolutely all souls get there, not just kung fu masters. Because Kai got into the spirit world before Ugway invented kung fu.
So, I think that the spirit world is divided into several levels.
Tumblr media
The first level is "up": This is the location where Po meets Ugway at the end of the third film. Only those souls who have been able to find inner peace get there.
The second level is the "middle": This is the location where Po defeated Kai. Only thouse souls who could not find inner peace, but who were good people during their lifetime.
The third level is "purgatory": Tai Lung gets here at the end of the first film. Those who managed to make mistakes during their lifetime go there, but these mistakes are not so terrible as to send the soul to the lowest level.
Fourth level "Hell": The souls of sinners who committed terrible deeds during their lifetime come here. I think that's where Shen is now.
Souls can move from the upper to the lower levels whenever they want. For example, souls from the middle level can descend into purgatory and even lower. But the soul cannot just rise to a higher level. To do this, the soul needs to be "cleansed". So, for example, a soul from purgatory will be able to rise to the middle and then to the upper level. But it is also possible to rise to a higher level if you absorb enough chi. That's exactly what Kai did, when he collected enough chi from purgatory, it allowed him to get to the middle level. After that, he was able to collect chi masters from two levels at once. However, his fight with Tai Lung took too long, as the leopard turned out to be a serious opponent, which is why Kai was able to get to Ugway only at the beginning of the third film.
By the way, Kai did not fight with Shen because he was afraid to go down to the lowest level straight to hell. This explains why Kai doesn't have a peacock pendant, but he does have a leopard pendant.
Once again, this is just a theory and concept of how I see the spiritual world in the KFP universe. Don't take it too seriously.
(Has anyone been able to make out Shen's silhouette on the lower level?)

Base Yandere Tail Lung Headcanons: Becoming Worthy  (Kung Fu Panda) 
[Hello, My Sexy Muffins. Now I did make this into a video BEFORE I made these headcanons. So these headcanons may not be the same as the YouTube video! I hope that you all enjoy and happy Lunar New Year 2024!] 
(Disclaimer: Tail Lung is not yandere in canon! This is just for fun and not to be taken seriously at all! Simping for fictional characters and yanderes is fine, just do not be illegal or gross about it! Yanderes are not ideal partners to have In Real Life. Also, remember to separate fiction from reality and headcanon from canon!) 
(Base Yandere Headcanons With Tai Lung From Kung Fu Panda)
.Tai Lung was once a good person. 
.But the betrayal he faced by his adoptive father and the master changed him, it brought out the very dark and worst side of him. 
.He ended up imprisoned and got to see very few people. 
.You were one of the people that he got to see and he became obsessed with you. 
.To him this obsession was love and he loves you so much that he needs to get out of here and make you his. 
.He is the type of yandere who is very possessive and needs to have you by his side at all times. 
.He is also very protective of you and needs to keep you safe. 
.He will save face for you (That is the right way to say it and not the Western way of defending honor, The whole defend your honor is a very much Western thing in media, and saving face is the proper way to describe those things! I learned this from watching various YouTubers who were born and some who still at least visit China!) and defend you with all their might. 
.He is a man who respects you but is also unstable. 
.He is very close to snapping but he has never taken a life before. 
.He has some morals where he will not kill your loved ones to make you his and he would most likely not kill his rivals. 
.He will defeat his rivals in combat, proving to them and you that he is the right man for you. 
.He has the whole major issue of NEEDING to prove himself to not only you but himself. 
.He needs you to know that he is the best man for you. 
.Also he needs to prove that to himself so he is worthy of you. 
.He still will beat the fuck up out of his rivals that is for sure. 
.When he does confess to you, he is very blunt and straightforward about it. 
.If you say yes, and accept his love, then he did it, he proved to you that he is worthy and you are his now, forever and ever. 
.But, if you say no and turn down his love, he takes it as a betrayal. After all his hard work and all he has done to prove his love for you! 
.This is where he would snap and he would kidnap you. 
.Taking you somewhere remote, where he can teach you to love him, and he will. 
.Because he will make it happen and he will get his happily ever after! 
[YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS another chapter is done! I hope you all enjoyed this and stay sexy, all of my sexy muffins!]

Lord Shen headcanons cus I said so
(I finally rewatched the movie 🤭)
Tumblr media
You guys.
You guys.
I finally rewatched Kung Fu Panda 2.
HOLY CRAP.
Three things reawakened inside of me--
One, an understanding of my obsession with Tigress as a seven year old watching the first KFP.
Second, the GOOSEBUMPS I got from that score. IT WAS INSANE, I’m putting this right next to How to Train Your Dragon on the list of “Movies I wish I could watch for the first time again” (I’d break down sobbing at LEAST five times)
Third, my strange fascination with Lord Shen.
Was he one of my first fictional crushes? Sadly, yes.
Am I ashamed? Of course, sadly, yes.
Was he the worst one? Sadly….not even close.
But we’ve all stooped down this low at some point. So let me just live my life and do this thing cus I think it’s funny
-I’m gonna follow the cringe royalty x reader path here
-He spoils you, a lot.
-And he doesn’t take no for an answer
-Shen is either the definition of clingy or just “no one come near me or you will be SLAUGHTERED”
-I’m following the yandere route, so he’s clingy
-You don’t go anywhere without an escort whether it be him or a guard
-Watch his mood VERY. CLOSELY. You don’t want to catch him in a bad mood and push his temper
-He gets jealous very easily and is one bipolar mf
-One moment he’s getting angry at you for making eye contact with him, the next he’s mad that you’re scared of his hugs :(
-Shen will attack anyone who lingers on you longer than he’d like, and only twice have you convinced him to spare someone’s life.
-He either HATES hugs or absolutely NEEDS them
-But either way he does need one thing…
✨THERAPY✨
-He ain’t getting it
-Thinks it’s for the weak minded lol
-So two months and one Stockholm syndrome later, you finally adjust to the bipolar mf’s tendencies
-Now you blame YOURSELF for when he decides to snap
-Everyone else can see it’s bs
-Shen’s precise with everything he does, and it’s very evident with what happens in the movie
-Manipulative when he needs to be
-He puts on firework shows for you
-Interpret that how you will
(he used fireworks as inspiration for his weapons…but it could also be a literal firework show)
-B O N D A G E
-idk I just wanted to write that down
-it’s not even relevant
-B O N D A G E 👹
-yea that’s pretty much it, unless I come up with some new ones
-then you’re getting a part 2 ✌️😛

New Kai Headcanon As Treat:
If Kai likes someone, he will poke their bruises if they have any. He used to do it to Oogway constantly- sometimes searching for his bruises by poking him until he found them, and then poking them some more.
Kai: "You have a bruise?"
Oogway: "No."
Kai: "Where is it? Is it here?" *poke*
Oogway: "I'm not telling you. No."
Kai: "Here?" *poke*
Oogway: "No."
Kai: "Here? Here?" *pokepoke* "Here?" *poke*
Oogway: "Stop it."
Kai: "I just want to look at it. Show me." *pokepokepokepokepoke*
Oogway: "Ow!"
Kai: "Ha! There it is!" *pokepokepokepokepokepokepokepokepoke*

HEADCANON ☆148
Shifu has a memorial box under his bed, the Five and Po happened to find it "accidentally." There were many pictures of the Five and Po, also some of baby Tai Lung. Tigress found her old toy bunny, which she was sure she threw away after being a master. Also an old drawing of herself and Shifu with stick figures, "Sifu" written on the sky. It was adorable, and drawn with "astonishing" talent, as Po said sarcastically.

What are your thoughts on Kung-Fu Panda 4?
Kind of like Wish (still liked it better tho, Wish was just "okay")
In itself, a good movie I liked, I was surprised to love Zheng (is that how it's spelled ?) when I was sure I'd hate how she was shoehorned in the franchise but no she was touching and fun, the humor held up, even if she were not deep I liked the Chameleon (I guess a franchise does need at least one villain who hss no trauma and is jist evil because, she was still likable and charismatic and not exagerated), Mr Ping and Li Shan were amazing and hilarious together (you can't tell me they are not married at this point), I thought I would hate how the Furious Five were not there but they were given a satisfying explanation why that truly made it feel like Po's own journey this time and it felt like all was forgiven when they appear at the very end, Tai Lung was there and even if I was disappointed we were actually clickbaited and lied to (HE DOESN'T BECOME GOOD OR APPEAR MUCH !?!?! FUCK YOU !!!!!), he still finally found solace and a form of redemption or at least a path closer to it by finally being at peace with Po and accepting him as the dragon warrior and grow respect for him which was enough for my 10 years old soul to have found inner peace and feel feels about him. My baby, he finally healed...
But as the way it was advertised... a fucking joke. We were lied to for Tai Lung, Shifu was useless to the plot and made into a joke, Po's new status was super simplified as a magical power, I don't like the different style for the new characters they don't feel like belonging to the KFP universe, the Dragon Warrior is supposed to be known all across China but now only the Valley knows about him, not enough serious moments for too much comedy (it was good sure, but really not the balance the first 2 movies had), speaking of which SO many retcons (LORD SHEN NEVER WAS A KUNG FU MASTER !?! NOR WENT TO THE SPIRITS REALM, HE LITERALLY FUCKING DIED !?!?! ANF KAI WASN'T A MASTER EITHER ?!?!) and oversimplification (magic used to be subtle in the mortal world in the franchise. Now suddenly a DBZ/final boss type of fight really ?), and ALL THE FUCKING WASTED POTENTIAL WHEN YOU READ ALL THAT WAS GIVEN UP ON BY THE SHITTY DIRECTOR WHO DARED CALLING THE ONE OF THE FIRST MOVIES A NOBODY (Then I am told *I* disrespect her for shipping a ship she sees as friends !?!) AND IN FACT PLANNED WORSE (LIVE ACTION !? HUMANS ?! NO FURIOUS FIVE AT ALL ?! NO BACKGROUND STORIES FOR THE CHAMELEON AND ZHENG AT ALL SO THEY HAD TO CRAM THEM LAST MINUTE ?! *HE* IS A NOBODY) AND WE WILL NEVER HAVE HER AMAZING IDEAS I'D HABE FUCKING KILLED AS A 10 YEARS TO EVER SEE BUT NEVER EVER WILL BECAUSE OF HIM AND THE MOVIE IS DONE !?!? (Tai Lung truly being part of the plot and redeeming and having closure with Shifu, I fucking would have loved and cried)
ALL WASTED FOREVER BECAUSE IN ANIMATION THERE NEVER IS ANY SNYDER CUT BECAUSE IT'S SEEN AS A SUBART FOR CHILDREN BY EXECS ?!?
Tumblr media
*pants*
*inhales*
So I'll say I liked it, as much as the 3rd in fact, but knowing how much better it could have been if it were not given to an egocentric manchild who understood nothing about the heart and soul of tge first trilogy and how much better the concepts are 10 years old me had been wishing for and would have finally found closure in but I will never, *ever* have this closure about Tai Lung and I wilm never ever see them animated and voiced because his return was wasted because of HIM, it makes me mad and sad...

Heyyy loved your po headcannons, seeing as TaiLung is one of your fav could you please do dating TaiLung headcannons please? Hope you have a good day xx
You, always.
YES OF COURSE I CAN GRAHHHHHHHH.
TAI LUNG IS MY LOVE
I'm actually so happy I got this request
3 anons actually requested this so ill tag the other anons too when I reblog this hehehe
Synopsis: Dating Tai Lung headcanons!
Pairing: Tai lung x gn!reader (Animal of your choice)
Cw: Headcanon, fluff, mildly ooc Tai lung (BC HE'S A TEEN IN LOVE) pre kung fu panda 1, not proofread but I'll keep on editing this as I read LMAO
──────•❥❥❥•──────
Tumblr media
Everyone knew of Tai Lung. He was the adopted son of Shifu and the soon to be Dragon Warrior
At least that is what Shifu keeps on saying. But no one doubted it, Tai Lung was absolutely amazing and strong.
Many girls fell for him, and of course you did as well. But the differences between you and them, was that you successfully got Tai Lung’s heart
Everyone knew that although Tai Lung was strong, he had the temper of an eruptive volcano. Which is why MOST of his admirers wouldn't dare to confess their love to him.
Tai Lung fell in love with your confidence. The next dragon warrior was not stupid. He knew that most of the villagers were scared of him, despite admiring him.
You basically strolled up to him one day when he was walking down the streets of the valley of peace, and thanked him for his hard work.
“Hi Tai Lung, my name is (name) and I just wanted to say that I admire you and thank you for protecting the valley of Peace from danger.” you smiled
“You’re.. Welcome.” He nodded, holding a bag of groceries. Tai was stunned someone had the confidence to even look his way when he was on the streets of the valley
You smiled and nodded a little “See you around! Soon-to-be Dragon warrior” winking at him playfully and walking away.
He finds himself smiling at the memory whenever he has time to himself. From that moment on, you started seeing each other more often and finally made it official.
Never in a million years would he think that he would find someone to love.
Afterall, his heart and mind was set to mastering the art of Kung Fu, and making his father proud
But you changed him for the better.
You and him were polar opposites, which was great. You both were compatible despite your differences.
He was hot tempered and prideful... and you patient and humble.
Shifu and Tai Lung would have arguments from time to time. It’s only natural after all! He was a teenager, in his rebellious stage.
Tai Lung would storm out of the Jade Palace to cool down.
Before you, He’d go to a hill and punch a sturdy tree to relieve his stress. Of course the trees stood no chance
Now that he has you, his partner, the hot headed leopard would come over to your place without saying a word.
He didn’t have to of course, because he knew that you would understand right away. Which is all he needed honestly. I don’t think that he would have the patience to explain the full situation.
Tai Lung would NEVER admit it to you though,because his pride won't let him. But he loves how gentle you are with him.
The way you spoke to him when he was having troubles
“Tai, I understand Shifu made you upset, but you have to understand where he’s coming from.”
The way you held his paw in your own
“I’m sure he means no harm. He just wants the best for you and so do I”
How you guide him to the right path “Please control your temper next time, I don’t want you to start losing yourself and go on the wrong path”
His shoulders become less tense whenever he sees how soft your gaze is when you look at him.
Those eyes are just full of patience, love, empathy and understanding. Qualities that he does not have (Except love)
Qualities he loves about you.
If youre having a hard time Tai Lung would sense it straight away.
You both know that he isn't the best with his words
He can be awkward and stiff, but for you? He’ll try his damn best.
He’ll buy your favourite food, and even stop by mister Ping’s noodle shop to get you something warm for your tummy.
The Leopard would visit your place and take you by the lake at night to watch the stars in the sky as you feel the breeze of the wind hit your (feather/fur/skin/scales)
“Thank you Tai… for this.” You smiled at him as you took a bite out of the food he brought for you.
Tai Lung would nod stiffly “No problem.”
Honestly he wasn’t happy that he wouldn't comfort you with sweet words like you would do for him when he was upset.
“You know. I used to come here often to take time for myself. The first time I came here was to find inner peace in myself, but I couldn't, which frustrated me even more…” Tai lung started, he took a glance at you to see if you were listening
“I then decided to stop my meditation and look up at the sky. And what I saw was the beautiful stars shining brightly up there. Only then, did I find my peace even if it was for one night. In fact,” he looked up at the sky as if he was signing to you to do the same “the stars up there are shining just as bright as when I saw it for the first time.”
Your eyes trailed up to the sky and immediately you saw what your boyfriend was talking about.
“Wow it’s beautiful” you whispered in awe as Tai Lung saw the stars twinkling in your eyes.
“Just like a certain someone I know..” he’d whisper back, admiring your features and admiring you.
He was so lucky to have you by his side and he knows it damn well
No other words were exchanged between the two of you.
You scooted closer to your boyfriend and leaned into his shoulder for warmth and comfort. Tai Lung didn’t push you away, instead he pulled you closer.
Whether or not Tai Lung knows it, you started to forget your worries right then and there. It seems like he knows how to comfort you after all.

3 things that all the Kung Fu Panda villains have in common:
1: they all want something that's impossible for them to have.
Tai Lung wants to be dragon warrior, Shen wants to avoid his destiny, and Kai wants infinite power.
2: they are emotionally driven.
They all went bad because they FELT betrayed.
3: they are suffering at their own hands.
Tai Lung could've accepted he wasn't dragon warrior and moved on. Shen could've accepted his fate and moved on. Kai could've accepted he couldn't have infinite power and moved on. But they didn't, and that's on them.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Teen!Tigress angst + Tigress fidget headcanons for the soul :3 (headcanons below!!)
+ she rubs her knuckles when nervous + she grabs onto her hanfu when flustered (think Amity Blight) + she fiddles/scratches/ruffles her face furs when concentrated or thinking + tail swishes when she’s happy/excited (she stomps on it to control herself)

I remember watching a video of a snow leopard couple cuddling each other while they sleep and now I can’t stop thinking about Tai Lung leaving the spirit realm to do some soul searching to get a grip on his rage and struggles with perfectionism
To his surprise, he meets another snow leopard on his journey. And she’s just as recluse as he is, if not more so (snow leopards are pretty solitary creatures). She’s a cautious cat, a hermit, but has a deep kindness towards others.
Shenanigans ensue, and they begin to bond through their adventures together. And he sees how difficult it can be to be kind instead of being angry. Anger towards others, and himself. The anger that comes from needing to prove his worth.
And during their time together, he sees subtle displays of empathy, of kindness from her. A kindness that he can’t help but try to emulate, because she seems so certain of herself, with nothing to prove. She lives life for the joy of living, and it baffles him that he never thought that was an option. So he takes a page from her book, and tries to live for the sake of living. They part ways, and his heart pangs at the thought that he might not see her again.
Although Kung Fu is an art in its own right, it never felt quite cathartic for Tai Lung. There was always the push to be better, to stay the best. Getting to the point that ‘never enough’ was engrained in his brain. The anger grew from there, and the martial arts became an avenue for his rage.
He begins to try something different. He pursues another art form: painting. The limitless colors and shapes that he can make with his own paws, or with a paintbrush. The rush of joy that surges through him through creation, rather than the destruction that used to come from his (mal)practice of the martial arts.
It’s not something he’s a natural at, but it’s something that brings a smile to his face. Eventually, he gets better at it. The glee towards his painting progress feels much more rewarding than when he’d master multiple Kung Fu techniques. The snow leopard with a penchant for painting.
His artwork brings in the eye of a few potential customers. He sets up shop in a small town, doing a few commissions that earn him a name that isn’t spoken with fear: Tai Lung, the painter. The artist whose paintings feel alive.
Word travels, and the peaceful painter meets the kind hermit again. The hermit who happened to inspire him to live for himself.
She notices that he seems different, lighter. Content. He’s still grumpy, but the rough edges don’t cut. She smiles, telling him that painting suits him. The question that arises is: what happened?. Tai Lung has a simple answer for that. He wanted to be strong, like her.
That prompts a distinct eyebrow raise. Bewildered, she tells him that he was always strong, just scared. There was a fear to his anger.
She says, ”You don’t seem as scared anymore,” gently placing his hand in hers.
Tai Lung gives her a gentle smile. “Still sharp as ever, I see.”
That prompts a loud laugh out of her, and his smile grows in the little art shop.

I have a headcanon that after the massacre in the panda village and the expulsion, Shen often had nightmares. Because of this, he could have insomnia, which made him even more crazy.
