🍈Ty Rambles🍈

I never really noticed this before but if you look closely you can tell Tai Lung is a little bit scared in this scene. Very determined and extremely pissed off, but there’s some fear here. He’s a little scared he might not make it and I love that.

bonus kitteh derpery:

*flash into the spirit realm*

His eyes widen. 

“Was that Guan-Yin?”

They nod.

Playing cards with some other masters.

Playing practical jokes on Oogway in revenge.(Tai Lung managed to befriend a minor mischief god, they get along great.)

Trying to learn more about the universe from a dragon that floats around. The dragon uses so much technical jargon nobody can understand what he says. Tai Lung just nods politely while the Knowledge Beast goes on about ‘cells’.

He’s very territorial and protective of his giant, floating rock. It’s like a little floaty island he can have to himself.

“I SWEAR ON YANG IF YOU TOUCH MY ROCK ONE MORE TIME I WILL PUNCH YOU SO HARD YOUR GRANDCHILDREN WILL HAVE FLAT FACES.”

Watching Master Crab reform that rousing song of his.

And so no matter how specific the information is, it’s about what it means to dehumanize someone, to project otherness onto them, the othering of people. It could be anywhere. And the main thing that happens is, as we’ve seen in the past, with the Nazis, the very, very first people that were victimized by the Nazis weren’t even Jews, they were the “sexually deviant.” It’s about such a macho culture, the idea of “I am the master race, I am superior to you, because white lives matter” or whatever. And as a result, what was gone after was transgender people, queer people of various kinds. That’s where they focused their murderous intent as soon as they came into power.

So that was where they started. And that seems to be the hot button in America right now. We haven’t learned much from the past, but there’s some things you should be able to figure out. Book burning leads to people burning. So it’s something that needs to be fought against.
