I feel like making a topic about that today
So here is the bonding ~
It is a completely fanon thing, I made up all by myself, so I would like your honest critism to it.
JBG is based upon that thing a lot.
Now here an extract from the Mushu essay ~
Fire breath
Chinese dragons don’t breath fire! (This is plain American thinking)
Since everyone of the guardians has been announced to have a special ability/character in the very beginning when they were supposed to awaken, I figure that the fire breath is Mushu’s little “extra”.
Mushu’s firepower increases during the first movie. We see that he is more than happy about a small little flame he accomplishes in the very beginning, vindicating its size with the argument that he wouldn’t have wanted to burn someone.
During his journey helping Mulan he gets a lot in contact with fire. The big introduction was done by a little flame that was actually just watched by Cri-kee. Later after the training when they are already in the mountains, travelling the Tung Shao passage Mulan quickly uses him to light the cannon after she lost the flint. The flame seems still pretty small but is increasing quickly. The small little campfire Cri-kee kept alive in the snow after Mulan’s cover was blown obviously wasn’t lid by Mushu, because he easily could have kept it burning. Still he didn’t even bother to do so when he wanted to roast himself a dumpling.
During the finale scenes then, his powers increased already so much, that he could burn Shan Yu’s falcon and light a cannon. This fire was needed in order to guard/help/protect Mulan, so these flames were way more powerful than the ones before. It's also signalizing that Mushu is on his way to become a true guardian again.
- Guardian-powers in the line of duty.
In the sequel itself he used his fire Odem only on random occasions like when he wanted to rascally burn Cri-kee. In the end though, during the wedding ceremony his firepower was the most powerful ever. The flames were incredibly strong so that they could even touch the earth from the head of the golden-dragon-of-unity state. This fire prevented Mulan from a destiny that would have only harmed her. It was the time she was most in need of a guardian and/or a friend – reflected by Mushu’s guardian powers.
Bonding (Fictional)
aka Magnetism, aka Boomerang-effect
The bonding is the invisible link between guardian and guarded one that destines them to each other. No guarded one can have two guardians and no guardian can have two guarded ones.
It is also the reason for them to find back together on any occasion.
Examples: Mushu finding Mulan again in the avalanche.
Technically it is impossible in such a mess and he had some faulty tries before – that was because his bonding with Mulan was instable at that time, seeing that he was not officially her guardian at that time, but only slowly developing (see fire breath).
Bonding allows the both guardian and guarded one privacy without having to stick on each other like glue (example: Mulan’s complete training and the fake letter).
The guardian will due to the bonding be alarmed when something is wrong and only to come into action when he is really needed (Great help against paranoia). The actual need of action is interpreted differently by each guardian depending on the character.
A bonding can break due to certain circumstances.
a) Death of the guarded one.
a. The bonding will stay active until the soul of the guarded one reached the family temple again
b. If the guarded one dies in absence of the guardian the guarded one will stay active in order to find the lost soul again and lead it back home
b) Guardian and Guarded one being separated for a certain amount of time that depends on the distance
c) The “release” of a bonding due to the ancestors
d) The “transfer” of a bonding due to the ancestors (e.g. marriage: “The husbands guardian takes over the duty of guardianship”)
If a bonding is about the break both guardian and guarded one notice that in subtle signs, like a hollow feeling (comparable with hunger) or the seeking to wander off into the guardian’s/guarded one’s direction (if the bonding is to break due to distance).
The break of a bonding results in the inactivation of a guardian (he turns to stone) and a slightly hollow feeling that’s left on the side of the guarded one that ceases within a week.
You may call me a freak now ~
