Shaun Xu and Katy Chen

Come on, do these besties-but-maybe-more look like they have the foresight to bring umbrellas?? I think not.

Awkwafina behind the scenes of Shang-chi and the legend of the ten rings, 2021

Summary: It's not that Katy doesn't know that Shangqi is an attractive man. It's just a thing that Katy has accepted a fact. And then shoved into a box in her mind.

[reducal]

It is through Katy that Shaun experiences a vast number of things for the very first time….trying boba tea…going to an arcade…and also...his first kiss. It occurs after they’re goaded into a game of spin the bottle with Soo as the instigator. It’s only a short peck on the lips, but it’s enough to leave Shaun flustered for the remainder of the game with Katy avoiding eye contact.

Shang-Chi and Katy wearing matching Dragon Scale Armor

After Katy got injured on a mission that almost cost her life, Shaun insisted that she should have her own Dragon Scale armor for protection and had it made in Ta Lo. And of course, her armor should match his!

(I really enjoyed making this photomanip on Katy's uniform!)

SHAUN SEEING KATY'S BIG SMILE IS EVERYTHING

SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS: Shaun/Shang-Chi + Katy + moments

[sherlolly-siya]

I knew my fellow #romanogers would always come in clutch when needed the most. Does anyone remember this little fun fact?

about how the last female character, that the male protagonist interacts with end up being their potential love interest in the MCU? And we all know Marvel doesn't like to break tradition that often the little old 'if it ain't broke..'

Point is, everyone knows how Shang-chi ended, the normal way and the post credit way and may be even the deleted scene kind of way if we consider that one where Shaun and Katy were in a car going bowling

You can want them to remain platonic all you want, but they are meant to be. And who says two people dating cannot be bffs too? Who doesn't love a chaotic duo jumping into dangers with 19% odds of success right?

after the emotional confessions of the night, comes some affirmations of the physical kind.

W/this new interview between Jessica Hardwick & Simu & how he said, "If you're asking right now if I think Shang-Chi & Katy should be romantically involved, I'd say no," it got me thinking. They deleted scenes (i.e., "Just Friends" & "Postcard") that heavily implied a romance. I have 2 questions. 1) Do u think they filmed a kiss when they filmed the hug bc Destin was undecided/it looked awkward? 2nd, WHY is Simu teasing the Shangkaty fans if he doesn't want them to hook up? I am SO confused. :/

Hello anon. Thank you for messaging me :) Hmm, I don't think I have seen that interview yet, I tried to search it on youtube / google, not appearing on my end. So I'll answer this based on your message.

SCATLOTTR main story line/focus is to introduce Shang Chi in the MCU and his daddy issue (lol).

#1, That's why I don't think they film a kiss scene (and I find it quite out of narrative yet.) Don't be sad if they didn't kiss,  the way they hold each other after reuniting in the Ta Lo big fight says everything - and it's more romantic for me.

(The way he clutches on her, like he doesn't want Katy out of his sight. It's too intimate for me.)

#2, I think Simu likes the Shangty pairing, but the first film is not yet the perfect time for them to end up together. (And in my own opinion) I think it was a good choice.

Don't get me wrong, in any TV/Film that we saw, it's fun seeing the couple go on to "the chase" stage, right? And that's where Shangty is. I enjoy seeing them dance/flirt around with each other. Remember when they are shamelessly flirting when Katy needs to assist the old lady to bring the dragon arrows on the firing range? Take note of the way Ying Nan look at Shang Chi :)

Aunty Nan knows. 

The difference with other TV couple is, as much as they are perfect together, presently they aren’t together / did not end up (I'm talking about my other mcu otp = Sylki, Palmerstrange // still hoping for the best for these pairings though). But with Shangty, you know they are each's other ride or die. Nothing can separate them, they are a package deal, even Wong (and the whole Ta Lo village) knows it.

Plus, the chemistry between Simu and Nora is oozing, no doubt about that!

And based on MCU film trilogies, pairings don't end up on their first film, usually it's on the 2nd film like: Pepperony, Fosterson, PeterMJ.

So, let's all be positive and hope for the best on Shangty's future, which I know we should not be worried about. Happy holidays anon, and I apologize if this is a long post and it took me a whole day to answer your ask, I wanted to gif some moments to include on this post. =)

fic: mutually beneficial

Summary:

Kate crosses her arms and says, "Don't you dare insult my people, Bridgerton. I will gut you." "And I shall gladly welcome the attempt, so long as it'll bring you closer to me," he says easily, infuriating her even more. Cheeky bastard. "Suppose I should actually thank your people," he continues, and she can just imagine the smug look on his face as he speaks. "After all, if they did do a proper job and tell you what the poor man really wants... then you won't be here at all. Threatening me in person and all that." This time, Kate does roll her eyes. Lord help her when she's talking to this insufferable man! "Who says I'll only threaten you?" "I should hope not," he says, sounding wickedly amused. "I am looking forward to all the ways we can, shall we say, mutually benefit each other tonight."

notes:

a rewrite of my ShangKaty fic take you past our satellites to suit Kanthony because I was reading it and I was like THIS WOULD WORK FOR KANTHONY TOO??? so I did it

Hi!!

Just wanted to drop by here and tell you that I super loved your ShangKaty fic! Their dynamic is so cute and I just want them to be together forever. 🥺👉👈

I really, really hope you write more of them~ The fandom and my heart needs more ShangKaty. 🥺✨

Keep safe!!! ❤️

Ack! Bless your whole heart, my friend. That's so sweet! Agreed, love this new OTP.

My fabulous day job does have some tasks that allow me to just completely zone out, so I promise that this week I'll dedicate some of that time to brainstorming fics. I can't guarantee I'll be inspired, but if something comes to me, I'm on it!
