Itch

Two people who were abandoned. A child that shouldn't exist. Moxibustion by candlelight, flower drum in a Jiangnan summer, a cloth doll left in a crack in the rock.

A story about what it costs to hold on, and what it leaves on your body when you do.

Shit post dump

‘blue plate special’ and ‘from scratch’ on ff dot net and ao3. by mariegoos.

and it’s funny, because it’s “do you want to build a snowman?” from frozen that really sparked these thoughts.

did shifu shut himself away from the world for a while? or did he throw himself back into his passion: kung fu, but with an entirely new perspective on things and a broken, angry heart?

we get that flashback in the first movie of a young tigress demonstrating her skills to a very unimpressed shifu. so we see both of them and it’s clearly post-rampage, and tigress is still a little girl.

or perhaps he spent a brief time in his feelings about it before stuffing it all down, putting on a front and getting down to business.

i’m curious to hear other opinions if there are any. i can’t imagine shifu’s training was composed of anything truly substantial for at least the first few months or perhaps a year? because in secrets of the scroll i estimate tigress to be no older than 16 and it really seems like they’re only getting into real basics of kung fu then. granted she is still young.

i feel like she probably spent a considerable amount of time with oogway while shifu composed himself. poor tigress probably wanted to help him the way he’d helped her, but was pushed away. she was probably so happy when it was time to resume her training, only to have to become acquainted with an entirely new shifu, one who had become hardened, having closed his heart off to anything or anyone else.

and how confusing that probably was to a little girl.

she has a lot of strengths, a lot of talents. but why would she have ever learned to cook? aside from maybe throwing some meals/snacks together in between training sessions and whatnot. her studies were kung fu not cheffing and there’s nothing wrong with that

but maybe there’s one day when everyone’s busy including po and it just has to get done. but nobody’s offering so tigress is like “i guess i’ll do it” and the five start screaming no, then have to play it off like they don’t want her to put herself out because if looks could kill they’d all be dead. and po’s like let’s give it a try!! :D because he Doesn’t Know about the Horrors

so then it’s dinner time and everyone is avoiding the kitchen except po who is like so so excited because omg!!! tigress made something!!! and he makes himself a plate/bowl and sits down and

and tigress is just staring at him.

daring him to say a word.

Being dragon warrior was a point of connection between her and Shifu, then she lost it because she didn’t have the ideal mindset…but like, has anyone ever told her what the mindset should be?
