Dragon Warrior - Tumblr Posts

oKAY, NOW I'M READY

so it all started when i went to watch kung fu panda 4 with my niece. first i was inconsolable bc the great lesbian icon tigress wasn't in the movie, but then, when i was out with some friends we started to look up fanarts of her at pinterest and there was this cute fanart of her and tai lung being siblings and playing togheter and IMMEDIATELY i thought about the black brothers

i need you guys to forget about the goodxbad stuff here bc that's not the point, the point is siblings angst. so tai lung, aka sirius, is the first son, the one to carry all the expectations, the one literally beign raised to become the dragon warrior/heir to the black house. and here they diverge a little bc tai lung tries, he gives all of him to achieve this, and all the love and attention from master shifu is conditioned to him beign the next dragon warrior but sirius is a rebel, he hates all that's linked to be a black and hates the person that his parents want him to be, so he do wathever is in his power to not be that person.

BUT THERE IS A BREAKING POINT FOR THE BOTH OF THEM: when their parents realized that they aren't and never will be what they want them to be. so tai lung goes insane bc not only he's beign denied everything that he fought for, the very thing that defines him as a person, but he can see that his father, whom he always though loved him, is starting to resent him bc he didin't get what he wanted from tai lung (this post is not a shade to master shifu, i love him, but i'm here for the drama). now with sirius his parents finally realized that he's not going to be the perfect little heir, so they torture him, and the last piece of hope that he had for his parents to love him is gone, THEIR LOVE AND ATTENTION WAS CONDITIONED JUST AS IT WAS WITH TAI LUNG AND MASTER SHIFU, now that he's to no use, he isn't valuable anymore. so they're both gone (tai lung go insane and ends up in jail and sirius go live with the potters)

meanwhile, we have tigress, aka regulus, the younger one, that is only there to fill the void that their older siblings left. regulus saw sirius with their parents, he (regulus) never received much attention from any of them, but he just knew that if sirius had been a good son they would've loved him, bc they tried, they tried to teach sirius the ways of the black family and there were moments, when they were satisfied with sirius behavior, that almost seemed that they loved him. so when sirius left and their focus turns to regulus he's ready to be the most obedient and well behaved son on this earth. now, tigress had never lived with tai lung, when she came to the temple he was already in jail, but she heard how master shifu adored him, and how broken he was that he was gone. she also knew that what caused them to drift apart was the whole "you're not the dragon warrior" thing, so the only way that she could gain the master's attention was to become the dragon warrior. but it didin't matter how hard they tried, how much they gave away to those people, they just weren't their siblings, they weren't enough.

i also like to think of the fact that tigress always felt like she was doing good, like, i'm not enough, my father doesn't really care about me, but this is my purpose and i'm actually helping people so at some point everything is going to be ok (when i become the dragon warrior), and i think that's kinda what regulus felt too, and i'm NOT excusing any bigotry behavior here, but he genuinely believed that he was doing some good for the wizard world by supporting his parents cause, so it's interesting when we think about "why reggie didn't leave??", because why would tigress leave???

i ALSO like to think about the skittles beign the furious five: tigress as reggie, monkey and crane as barty and evan (just two dorks who are superpowerfull), viper as pandora (i fell that there's no explanation needed) and mants as dorcas (c'mon, that little thing full of rage is very dorcas coded).

anyways, now i'm tired and won't be rereading nothing, so i don't know if it's understandable or if it's even english at this point, if you have any doubs fell free to ask

i think that we, as a community, need to talk about the parallels between the black brothers and tai lung and tigress from kung fu panda. i can (AND WILL) elaborate, but now i'm just lazy

Kung Fu Panda 4 is coming!

EARTHBOUND X DRAGONQUEST (II)

Hello, here is some new art I did of the original Earthbound Beginnings/ Mother 1 as Dragon Quest characters!

Yes, Gigue/ Giygas looks like Frieza because DQ characters were designed by Akira Toriyama and I couldn't help myself LMAO

I think my favrotie one is probably Ninten or Teddie, but Lloyd's design is always gonna do it for me!

Dragon Quest Playthrough

Played the SNES remake of the first Dragon Quest for the first time and I'm blown away. After a few minutes you get the feeling, that you are on a real adventure with exploring, fighting monsters and ready to save the world. A lot that you see in other games that startet here. Off to part two!

Dragon Quest II Playthrough

Sadly my translation file of Dragon Quest II has a not fixable bug, so I had to quit my playthrough at about the end of the first third. So far it was a lot of fun, I liked the additions in relation to the first one. Let's dive into part three on the SNES (SuperFamicom)!

⚠️ S P O I L E R A L E R T !!! ⚠️

It's been years since I leaked new Kung Fu Panda stuff, I used to do it on Deviantart, but now that I remember and have the opportunity I'll do it here XD

I'm glad that the fourth installment of Kung Fu Panda is going to have its classic semi-realistic animation style and not like that of Puss In Boots 2, This is a leaked image from the novelization of the film.

The curious thing is the codices behind Po, they don't look Asian to me

It looks more like the film will bring Mesoamerican things 🤔😮
