The Role of the Sage in Kung Fu Panda

Thinking about the trinity in Kung Fu Panda.

Po, the young hero. His journey is two-fold: to find his own path, and to recognise his own worth.

Shifu, the mentor. His journey is to both love and care for those he trains, and to have enough objectivity to see them for who they are.

Oogway, the sage. His role is to guide the young people who will come after him, and once that job is done, leave the material world.

I think there's a reason why the "sage" role frequently dies in stories. Not just because it is a necessary catalyst for the heroes and the young mentors to rise to the occasion, but perhaps because that is their actual journey in the story.

It's difficult to let go. It's difficult to trust things that you've worked hard for to be carried on in the hands of others. It's difficult to see all that must be done and how to do it, but have the wisdom to leave this to others.

Every step of the way, Master Oogway has allowed Shifu to make his own blunders, and grow as a mentor. He allowed Shifu to send a messenger to Chorh-Gom Prison, knowing pretty well that this act would allow Tai Lung to escape. He allowed Shifu to train Po in his own way, even knowing the mental state Shifu was in and the unique needs of Po.

Although all these things seem pretty natural, for a less experienced sage, I'm sure it would have been difficult to do. I can see another version of Oogway, who perhaps is more anxious and less at peace, struggling with controlling Shifu and his students to make sure they were perfect (in fact, we see plenty of "sage" roles do so in other media, such as Grandma Wu from Turning Red and Abuela from Encanto).

(As an aside, we also see Master Oogway's failures. Although framed more as Shifu's failures, Master Oogway also failed Tai Lung. He should have stepped in to intercept Shifu's toxic way of training his son. He should have also provided more guidance for Tai Lung instead of turning away. Master Oogway has mastered the art of detachment, but he did not master the art of guiding others until the main events of Kung Fu Panda.)

While the growths of Po and Shifu were plain to see in Kung Fu Panda, it's also a treat to see Master Oogway complete the cycle of life completely in mastery of his role in life.

Surprisingly Marcy grandma was perfectly ok with her being gay and in a polyamorous relationship (Though Marcy think that partially due to the fact Sasha and Anne have high paying jobs).

I mean Anne/Sasha don’t really make a whole lot but enough that the three of them can live somewhat comfortably. Still tho’, Grandma Wu gets to brag about one of her grandkids marrying not one but 2 doctors (for ease, referring to Anne being a scientist as a doctor), the ultimate bragging rights when she’s trying to one-up her friends

Turning Red: The Epilogue

Hello, it's your dear old friend, Samuel Whitacre here. It's been lots of months, and now I'm ready for my 12th blog called the epilogue of Turning Red. I really hope you love my new one.

(After the events of the movie, Mei Lee shows her mother, Ming, and her grandmother, Wu, how to eat cake with her claw.)

Grandma Wu: Whoa, that's incredible.

Mei Lee: You really think so?

Ming Lee: Yes, it's actually useful. Where'd you learn to eat cake with your own finger like that?

Mei Lee: Oh, I taught myself how back at Tyler's house during his party.

Grandma Wu: Oh, yes, I see. Could you show me and your mother how it works?

Mei Lee: Sure. I'll show you precisely how to eat cake with your finger in our panda forms.

Grandma Wu: Hmm. As you wish, Mei.

Can I just say I love Grandma Wu

I Mean she soooo pretty. Her tough hard too please aura really sells the character for me but I also love how can soften up and then immediately go back to the tough exterior

I mean Ming mannerisms completely change when Wu and her sisters come around.

And her hands are super pretty like Ming

I'm just sitting here thinking about how Wu treated Grandma Yin when he met her. He kneeled in front of her. He's royalty and he got down on his knees in front of this woman. He was respectful and charming and humble and kind. He said 'It's an honor' and she was so taken aback she SWOONED. I just can't get over it.

Back in the ✨️alternate universe✨️ for a bit:

So, in the main universe, Tess met and dated Amy Wu for a few weeks before they split amicably, neither of them wanting a serious relationship. Tess went on to marry Megan (who happens to be Amy’s cousin) and Amy married Chloe Zhao-Roswell.

In this universe, Tess and Amy kept dating for 6 months, and then made it official. Two years later, when they were 23, Tess proposed to Amy and the two got married in a small ceremony with Tess’s moms, siblings, cousin Luna and her wife Chrissy and kids, as well as Amy’s dad, stepmom Savanna, baby brother Darren, cousin Megan, and Megan’s wife Iseul in attendance.

Two years after this, Amy and Tess started discussing the idea of having kids. They'd discussed this early on in the relationship, and both had been open to the idea but weren't ready. After talking about it now and going through options like pregnancy, adoption, etc, they decided to get a surrogate (and excuse the bad science because I love using the game's same-sex pregnancy option 😅) and used both of their eggs to have their daughter, who they named Ming Alice Feldman-Wu. Ming after Amy’s late mom Ming Wu, and Alice after Tess’s grandma Alice Spencer-Kim.

Now, Ming's 6½ years old and she looks mostly like Amy* but she goes after Tess as well. Plus, she has both of her moms' love of sports and is in her school's little league baseball team. She loves making crafts like her mom Amy and helps her with some diy projects, and she has her mama Tess’s interest in science, although she's not as good at the math parts of it like Tess is.

Also I took a few cute photos of Tess and Amy with their nooboo. Amy holds Ming on her shoulders while Tess hugs her. Ming grimaces as Tess leans in to kiss Amy. "Mama, stop being gross with my mom!" She says, and Amy and Tess laugh.

#ts4 #mysims #Kang Family AU #Amy Feldman-Wu #Tess Feldman-Wu #Ming Feldman-Wu #*the Wu-Liao family genes are strong as heck 😄#*in the main universe Emily looks so much like Megan and in this universe Ming goes a lot after Amy and her grandma/namesake Ming #also you can tell I goofed the aging in the main universe compared to this universe 😳 but its all good

may- may I ask for some Vlad headcanons if you have them? thx

мой Влад? мой большой мальчик?

Hi, there! Of course, I can provide you with some Vlad hcs although I think I can't live up to yours <3

And if you don't mind, I'll write your hcs too because I think more people in fandom should know them!

Here we go:

His full name is Vladislav Andreevich Kostromin-Zelenskyy

He's Russian but one side of his family is of Ukrainian origins (I would bet it's on his mom's side but it's me guessing)

He has a twin brother - Viktor (go check @rtmkf 's OC!)

He boasts to everyone that his family sausage recipe is the best in the world (makes sense because when we see Vlad for the first time he's eating a sausage! So, in my mind, one of his family's businesses involves selling sausages on city fairs)

Now I would like to dedicate this part of the post to a slight episode analysis. I sort of gave Vlad's family members professions based on the things we can find on his cart (don't ask me about their names I'm not there yet lol). Let's take a look.

First, I would like all the readers to appreciate the cart itself. Vlad said it's been in his family for generations, so it's impressive how amazingly it was preserved to this day! This leads me to the thought that Vlad is a descendant of craftsmen! And to make ends meet these 100 years ago craftsmen usually wed their offspring with the children of tradesmen and it's not as a far-fetched theory for Vlad's family, I suppose! Because look, Vlad is selling food (sausages, fish), souvenirs, and toys! Not only these goods are homemade but of top quality! So, Vlad has presented his heritage as a craftspeople's kid and it was proved that he has adequate skills to sell them successfully. His ancestors who made a living from trade would be so proud of him.

Let's diverge a little from the topic. I love this cart so much I can't believe Jack destroyed it, ok? ༼ಢ_ಢ༽

That's why I'm rejecting canon. The cart is fine. Please tell me the cart is fine I don't believe Vlad's grandparents would be ok with the fact there is no cart kjashk Besides, Jack and Vlad's plan in that ep was so good I can't believe Jack's falling on the cart wasn't improvised too! When they were discussing how Vlad could impress the monks, both of them came up with the idea Jack should make him mad. And to make that as authentic as possible, Jack should damage something that Vlad holds dear. They build together a replica and the original cart stayed at Vlad's home. Yes, that particular hc was created so I would be calm and sleep well at night

However, let's come back to Vlad's family.

Remember that ointment Vlad sells to Dojo for his scale problem? In the middle of the episode, Dojo refers to it as babushka's medicine for itching. My guess is - Vlad's grandma was either a nurse or her herbs knowledge is so good she would make medicine for domestic needs (and maybe sell them too to earn more money so the family could have an easier life)

look at these cute teddy bears. Look at these wooden toys. This leaves me with only one conclusion. There are toymakers in Vlad's family!

And let me tell you. Russian wooden toys are awesome. Vlad owned many of them because his дедушка (granddad) made those for him. He enjoyed the bear ones and pecking hens.

They looked something like this:

But Vlad's favorite as a tiny boy to a 6 year-old-boy was неваляшка. It's a Roly-poly toy, which despite putting force on it to make it fall down, would always return to the standing position.

I also imagine Vlad's granddad used to make furniture, but once he retired he started making wooden toys as a hobby, which later turned out to be a great way to make a living! Vlad's grandma and aunt are very good at coloring them. Oh, and the other grandma makes these cute stuffed bears you've seen on the cart <3

As for Vlad's parents' occupation? Hmmm I don't know yet? I picture his dad as a butcher and his mom as a weaver, who specializes in making curtains, drapes, bed sheets, decorative towels/ kitchen wipers, etc. This idea originated from my assumption of what might be inside the boxes on Vlad's cart.

Ok, let's focus on Vlad now.

Headcanon no1.

He always wanted to try his hand at woodcarving but his parents would put education in first place. That's why all the children in his family went to English courses, so they could have a new to their family skill. And well, Vlad came to terms with the fact he can't be like his grandpa because he finds English quite useful. Not only can he chat on the Internet with people all over the world but also that skill comes in handy when tourists arrive. They let Vlad be in charge of the business more often because since he knows English, they earn more money.

Headcanon no2

All of the members of Vlad's family lead a quite busy life that's why Vlad wants to help as much as possible. He got so good at doing chores, everything is taken care of in minutes. It means much to his grandparents, who are not as active as they used to be (but don't worry they're quite strong for their age!)

Headcanon no3

Despite his massive build, Vladislav is good at acrobatics and climbing. His PE teacher would always assign him to various sports competitions because the fella is quite fast. And everyone's impressed with his backward flip jumps. That's the reason why jack keeps nagging Vlad they should go figure skating. Unfortunately, Vlad is more of a trampoline fan.

Headcanon no4.

Oh boy, he can cook. Babushkas know how to cook and they passed on the knowledge to the youngest children in the family. And Vlad usually amuses his grandmas with the Internet recipes he tried out. It takes a lot of convincing but ultimately a whole family can enjoy Vlad's dishes.

Headcanon no5, which is the continuation of no4!

When Vlad has meetings with the other Heylins he makes sure not to arrive empty-handed. He brings them treats! Usually Plyushkas.

However, Jack particularly loves Vlad's pelmeni (dumplings stuffed with meat). There's a funny story involving pelmeni. One time when they had no choice but to visit BABUSHKA's home it turned out the owner is at home. So, Vlad had to introduce Jack as his friend. Vlad's granny couldn't contain her happiness because Vlad has a very small circle of acquaintances. However, she bombarded Vlad with questions about Jack's appearance. She expressed her worries he was too pale, too thin... 'He is nothing but a twig!' - she exclaimed and urged the boys to stay longer so she could cook for them. Jack had to stay at dinner and he fell in love with pelmeni with the first bite. Nothing makes a Slavic lady happier than a kid, who eats fast because they enjoy the food so much. Jack also appreciated a homemade apple-plum compote. When they were about to leave, Babushka handed Jack a neat package with pelmeni. Jack was so touched by the woman's kindness and hospitality he shed a tear.

headcanon no6

Jack couldn't stand that communication barrier between him and Vlad's granny he asked Vlad to be his Russian teacher. They have online lessons once in 2 weeks. They both know they should have these lessons more often but showdowns/private lives prevent that. But the good thing is, Vlad sends Jack Russian memes!

headcanon no7

Vlad is so cool he sends dumplings by post. Jack is always surprised but writes to Vlad 'Спасибо тебе за еду' (thanks for the food) the moment he receives the pack. In exchange, Jack sends recipes from his mom's cooking book. 'Dude that meatloaf is my fav I bet your family would love it' - Vlad would often read.

headcanon no8.

Jack and Vlad give off Megamind and Minion vibes. Although Vlad is... not a servant to Jack, for sure. Aand he's like ... a meaner version of Minion ok? But Vlad is always eager to push buttons! Jack lets him be in charge of music just like Megamind let the minion provide music for his performance as the new 'president' of Metrocity.

headcanon no9

Jack has found Vlad's profile on one of these shady forums and their first interaction looked something like this.

Jack: Hi. I've read your profile info and I would be interested in cooperation. You're Russian, right? Can you speak English?

Vlad: Sure thing! But first, we have to discuss the terms, boss!

Jack: Oh, cool! I only know a little Russian so I'm glad it won't be awkward haha And before we go into specifics I must know what are your experiences in evil-doing. Because I'm searching for someone who's good at infiltrating.

Vlad: So you want me to be a double agent?

Jack: Yes. I contacted you because my granny has told me if she were to choose a co-worker she would opt for someone from Russia. She told me I can trust Russians, so here I am offering you a job.

Vlad: Your grandma is a wise lady, indeed!

headcanon no10

Jack has problems operating Vlad's toys. He struggles to find out how these can be used and Vlad, running out of patience would turn into Pleakley and yell 'educate yourself!' (however, Jack's ignorance results from the negligence he was a victim of. If we go with that detail from XC Jack had no toys. Yes, Angst.)

Jack didn't listen and hence, was defeated by a large roly-poly lol. The only toy that never fails to amuse Jack is a construction set consisting of colorful blocks of various sizes and shapes. Vlad left Jack alone in his room for 5 minutes and in that time Jack managed to build a whole city. Vlad was impressed but pointed out he can't walk into the room. At that moment Jack realized he would also have problems reaching Vlad in the doorway. The boys, very upset, had to tear down every building. they agreed that normally they would be happy to destroy cities in real life but this procedure is rather sad.

headcanon no11

Tubbimura, Jack and Vlad like to play jenga.

headcanon no12

Vlad and Jack were almost arrested for loitering. Vlad only wanted to teach Jack how to make a Slavic Crouch :( stoopit police

headcanon 13 a)

Somehow Vlad can't remember Katnappe's name. Usually, he refers to her by her criminal nickname or he simply calls her 'kitty lady'. The latter makes Ashley angry.

Vlad: Why is kitty lady mean to me? :(

Jack, without skipping a beat: She's mean to everyone.

Tubbimura: She has never treated me badly, hai.

Jack: Sonner or later, it's gonna be your turn.

b) However, Vlad has found out that if he pretends to be sad enough, she would sometimes apologize. She likes Vlad's eye color because one of her first cats from childhood used to make the same pleading stare. (but no one knows that. Ashley is very secretive, after all)

headcanon 14

Jack and Vlad have fallen out with each other after the events of Saving Omi/Finding Omi. Jack wanted no more to be Vlad's pen pal because Vlad immediately went to Chase with the rest of Jack's former team. Jack pointed out during their argument he thought Vlad is different. Truth be told, Jack felt the most comfortable with Vlad and he had the most faith in him, so no wonder he felt betrayed. That was bugging Vlad for a long time and finally, he decided to fix it up. He asked babushka to make dumplings for Jack, bought plane tickets, and set off to the Spicer manor.

'The return of master Monk Guan' is the only ep of season3, in which Jack doesn't appear, so it's nice to assume that day Vladislav visited Jack. Jack hesitantly opened the door because his mom told him to. Vlad awkwardly started explaining himself, he brought up their fantasy about the world conquest and their own reality show and finished his monologue with 'My babushka sends her greetings and hugs. I understand if you don't want to see me, so please take these and I'm off'. To Vlad's surprise, Jack asked him to stay. So, the boys had their first pajama party ever lol They watched some tv series and Mrs. Spicer fetched them some ice cream!

This hc was an attempt to fix Jack's characterization in s3. He was a laughing stock and let's not forget this boy has feelings ok? He has issues but also wants to be on good footing with the other Heylins. Besides c'mon. When someone tries to bribe you with food, you have to reconsider if you want to be still overwhelmed by negative feelings or let go and move on. Jacko did well choosing the second option <3

We stan Vlad-Jack brotp!

That's all! Thanks for reading!
