5 | !!This fanfiction contains examples of: |
6 | * AdaptedOut: |
7 | ** Mushu doesn't appear here. Instead, "Mushu" was the name of Grandmother's husband. Ling is the one who put the apple in the arrow as a prank to get Ping in trouble with Shang. |
8 | ** Little Brother and Cri-Kee doesn't appear either. [[spoiler: Although Little Brother shows up as the pet of Shang and Quinmei's children.]] |
9 | * AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Fa Zhou and General Li are close friends here, while they presumably never met in person in canon. Which results in Ping meeting Shang sooner than Mulan would in the film. |
10 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: Yao, Ling, and Chien Po were much nicer to Ping upon their introductions. Though Yao and Ling still tease Ping and play pranks on him. |
11 | * AdaptationalSexuality: |
12 | ** Shang is gay here, and thus falls in love with Ping. |
13 | ** [[spoiler: The Emperor reveals to Shang that he himself was once in love with a man (a general who trained Shang's father), but had to marry his bride to continue the lineage of the royal family.]] |
14 | * AllGaysArePromiscuous: Shang and Ping enjoy each other's company, and can never get enough. |
15 | * TheBeard: [[spoiler:Shang's wife Quinmei.]] |
16 | * CrazyJealousGuy: Shang, when he noticed his second-lieutenant Fang being so close to Ping. That is because Fang is a fan of Ping's opera performances. |
17 | * CrosscastRole: InUniverse, Ping is a nándàn, which is a male opera actor who performs female roles. |
18 | * DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:Grandmother Fa passed away at the end of the fic.]] |
19 | * DeathByChildbirth: [[spoiler:Quinmei falls ill during her pregnancy, leading to her death after giving birth to Shang's twins.]] |
20 | * DemotedToExtra: Shan-Yu and the Huns. Due to the fanfic focusing more on Ping and Shang's growing relationship. |
21 | * DoomedByCanon: [[spoiler: General Li still gets killed by the Huns.]] |
22 | %%* DudeLooksLikeALady: Ping. |
23 | * EveryoneCanSeeIt: General Li, Grandmother Fa, and all the men at the training camp can tell there's something going on between Ping and Shang. |
24 | * GenderFlip: Mulan is born a man, and his name is Ping. |
25 | %%* JerkAss: Chi-Fu, as usual. |
26 | * JerkassBall: Due to the stress of training the men, Shang vents most of his frustration onto Ping, when it's clear that he's unfit to become a soldier. |
27 | * KissOfDistraction: [[spoiler:While disguised as one of the Emperor's concubine,]] Ping [[spoiler:kisses Shan-Yu on the lips to both stop him from trying to kill the Emperor and to allow Shang to sneak from behind.]] Shang was briefly shocked, and shuddered at the display. |
28 | * KnewItAllAlong: It's revealed that Ping's parents were told by a fortune teller that their second child would be a girl. But Grandmother Fa didn't believe in the "quack", and guessed correctly that he'd be a boy. |
29 | * LongHairedPrettyBoy: Ping, again. |
30 | * LoveAtFirstSight: Shang falls in love Ping the moment he saw him on stage, dressed as a woman and singing. |
31 | * MasculineFeminineGayCouple: Shang and Ping. |
32 | * MythologyGag: The name "Mulan" is heard throughout the fanfic. It was the name Ping was intended to be called when his parents thought their second child would be a girl. At one point, Ping wished he was a woman but realize he'd be lousy, basically describing Mulan at the start of the film. [[spoiler:Ping named one of Shang and Quinmei's twins Mulan.]] |
33 | * NamedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler: Fa Li is named Zanjun. In Chinese culture, women keep their surnames upon marriage, though Fa Li has the same surname as her husband.]] |
34 | * OpenSecret: The men at training camp become aware of Shang and Ping's relationship. |
35 | * OpenMindedParent: |
36 | ** Grandmother Fa, as she supports Ping's relationship with Shang. Though she warns Shang to treat her grandson right or she'll return as a ghost and have her ancestors upon him. |
37 | ** General Li appears to accept his son having feelings for Ping. But he also tells him that he must marry a wife to bear a son to continue their family lineage. |
38 | * OriginalCharacter: |
39 | ** Ping has an older brother named Minling. He is said to have joined the army in his wife's family's behalf, forcing Ping to join the army on his father's behalf. [[spoiler:Sadly, he was killed in battle.]] Although some versions of Mulan's tale mentions her having a little brother, while others mention a sister; so Minling could be a nod to the protagonist having a sibling. |
40 | ** Fang, second lieutenant in the army, who's a big fan of Ping's performances. |
41 | ** [[spoiler:Quinmei.]] |
42 | * OutlivingOnesOffspring: [[spoiler: Zhou and Zanjun were devastated when they got news that Minling was killed in battle. So they assume the same with Ping, until he returned home.]] |
43 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Not a villain, but still a jerk. Chi-Fu is disgusted with Ping's lifestyle choice, even calls him a "whore". |
44 | * RagingStiffie: We get a lot of descriptions of Shang and Ping getting hard for each other. |
45 | * ShipperOnDeck: [[spoiler: The Emperor notices the attraction between Shang and Ping, and approves of their relationship.]] |
46 | %%* TitleDrop |
47 | * UnfortunateName: Yao and Ling laugh at Ping's full name. |
48 | -->'''Ping:''' ''(after being told why it's funny)'' Oh gods! Why am I a joke to you, gods? |
49 | * UngratefulBastard: Like in the film, Chi-Fu doesn't thank Ping for saving China. Even accuses him of [[InsaneTrollLogic making a deliberate attempt at his life]]. |
50 | * WellDoneSonGuy: Ping sometimes feels that he disappointed his parents for not being the son they wanted. Being a famous nándàn is his way of bringing honor to his family. |
