Not my usual post type but imagine a Kung Fu Panda AU but it's one of those human high school AUs
The Furious 5 are a group of friends who all attend the same martial arts club outside of school (run by Shifu ofc) and Po is a new member of the group after his dads encouraged him to do it so he could improve his confidence.
When in school however; Crane and Viper are in the same dance club, Tigress and Mantis are part of the student Council meanwhile Monkey isn't in an after school club but often stays behind after school on Fridays to help the cleaning staff out
Kai, Tai Lung and Shen are a group of friends, your average bully group if anything. Though each one is different in their method of bullying and why they act like that
Kai being the oldest and skilled in a few different forms of martial arts likes picking on others who are more weaker than him to boost his own ego due to being scared of being seen as too soft by his two friends
Tai Lung used to be bullied before he transferred to Jade High (what I'm calling the high school in this nonsensical au) and to avoid it happening again he became a bully, eventually teaming up with Kai. Much to his family's disapproval and disappointment (his family being Shifu and Tigress)
Lastly is Shen, the rich (nepo-baby) of the group, he is vain and likes making rude comments about people's looks. But he will also be physical whrn bullying someone. Think like Regina George from mean girls mixed with Hoshiko Mizudori from Yandere Simulator (I hate that game but she's the only one I can think of that fits Shen for this). Along with this he often gets away with it more due to his parents funding the school during big events.
As for the Chameleon from Kung Fu Panda 4 she's like the stereotypical pick-me who thinks she's part of Kai's squad just bc she's also a bully, though none of those 3 dudes even know she exists
If I actually decide to make more for this I'll probably try making designs for each character and/or short stories on Tumblr based off this au.
I love Lord Shen from kfp and you know, he's the son of the peacocks who invented fireworks, and ofc will know how to make them and stuff, while Wukong is the one who loves to see them, so I think this was a perfect opportunity to make a crossover with my two fav characters of all time
i feel like it should be universal that at some point Shen dyed his feathers with the symbol (spoiler alert, he's albino, and that also explains the eyes. I wouldn't be surprised if he uses some kind of makeup on his beak and eyelids to make them stick out)

Random kfp headcanons. Mostly the first 3 villains
1. If someone tries strangling Shen, he WILL say "harder" in the most lewd way possible to get them away.
2. Kai and Oogway used to playfully hit each other. They stopped after Kai almost broke Oogway's shell
3. Tai Lung combs his tail when nervous
4. Kai loves watching Shen practice his sword fighting because it looks like a beautiful dance to him.
5. Shen bites when stressed, so Kai lets him chew on his hand
6. Shifu still misses Tai Lung and wishes he was more careful when raising him.
7. The Soothsayer managed to escape Gongmen City and moved to the Valley Of Peace. And despite knowing he's most likely dead, she waited a month for Shen to wind up stood at her door
8. Kai can't dance at all, he tried dancing once and got too embarrassed to try again. Even when drunk he still refuses
9. Tai Lung and Shen don't like each other despite everyone else thinking they do
Kai and Tai Lung sometimes have to bundle Shen in blankets when he has mental breakdowns
