*playing Twister*

Johnny Cage: Okay Raiden, move your right hand to red.

Raiden: *moves hand and finds himself atop Kung Lao*

Kung Lao: *glares at Johnny, blushing furiously* You’re doing this on purpose.

Kenshi: I could hear that Johnny stopped spinning about fifteen minutes ago.

Johnny Cage: Honestly, I was waiting to see how long I could go before you’d notice.

guys if i said i was thinking a little too hard abt shang tsung going through Liu Kang's Rehabilitation Program and basically fucking Couch Surfing at the different earthrealm champions places and him learning different aspects of "being a better person" or whatever from them (he'd still be mischievous and evil but just like.. for fun??) what then?? like how are we feelin abt that???

like shang tsung staying with raiden and his eye twitches every fifteen seconds bc raiden responds to him with Everlasting Infinite Patience and all he wants is a reaction- but that's how he learns acceptance and that he cant control people-

shang then staying with lao and learning why raiden has all that patience 💀 but also him learning how to depend on himself by watching lao take on everything himself

shang staying with johnny and learning that it's okay to relax sometimes- johnny helping him take up a hobby and teaching him abt earthrealm and technology and things- shang leaves that mansion with a skin care routine for SURE-

shang tsung finally taking a trip to stay with kenshi and he learns discipline but also gets to learn how to have fun. kenshi who takes him out for a night after he knows shang will either listen to him or at the very least can trust him not to run off or cause trouble he cant get himself out of-

and then shang returning to liu kang and the fire temple and liu getting to see that shang is better, yes, but also so so so much Worse bc he a culmination of all of his champions now- not only is he still the same egotistical, ruthless, forever curious and adaptive self with his cunning and genius, but now he has raiden's Evil Patience, lao's Self-Reliance, johnny's Diva attitude abt self-care, and kenshi's Kind of Cruel Sense of Humor and Discipline 💀

even better if shang also spends time with a reformed Bi Han and the new lin kuei as well as maybe even the shirai ryu with kuai and tomas- shang coming back from the lin kuei with a ruthless-er outlook and leaving the shirai ryu with less of a temper and maybe even better negotiating skills-

like just... augh, im thinking SO HARD-

I actually dream of the day u write something bi-han/shang tsung omg...

ohhhh those two... they are so toxic in my mind fr- not that that's going to stop me from writing them, i do enjoy playing around with those relationship dynamics- esp since in my mind there's such a power imbalance between the two of them

the long-short of it is, bi han and shang tsung feed each others egos and bi han is very dependent on shang and his view of him to function well in their alliance- and shang uses that to his advantage at every turn bc all it takes to get bi han to change his mind is to plant a seed of doubt- aruashdfkjs

alternate version of them being a bit sweeter but possibly even hilariously like mk11 aftermath sindel and shao khan- literally "what bones of his shall i break for you, my love?" "mm. surprise me. <333" like that kind of so in love but toxic and cruel to literally everyone around them LMAO-

i am going to yap abt them for a moment bc i do have Some Personal Headcanons about the lin kuei and shirai ryu and shang tsung and how that all plays out post-mk1--

in my mind, kuai and tomas almost immediately separate from the lin kuei and form the shirai ryu in secret, cutting all communication with bi han-

and in my mind, bi han isnt happy about that, he does miss his brothers, even if he never admitted it to himself before that moment- it's also a personal hc of mine that bi han wouldnt have been such a shitty brother if it werent for the relationship he had with his parents- in my mind bi han was forced to spend a lot more of his time with his father and got to see things that kuai and tomas had no idea about-

think azula and zuko- bi han is his father's son, and his father used that to mold bi han into his version of the perfect warrior, and bi han shaped his expectations of himself and his brothers around that image as well

so, when kuai and tomas break off of him and "betray him" in his eyes, he's upset about it.

but he also gets shang out of it, and i feel like there's a golden opportunity there for some ✨One-Sided Codependency✨

shang tsung helps feed bi han's ego and personal security, which bi han needs now that he doesnt have anyone else to do it for him, and shang uses that to direct bi han where he wants him to focus. shang also uses the power he has over their alliance to get bi han to prioritize protecting him versus prioritizing the strength of his clan.

if they arent going to be toxic to each other, i feel like bi han would fall HARD for shang's intelligence and cunning. shang is so smart and he uses it for his own benefit, but bi han sees the practicality of it too and it just makes him crazy-

shang tsung would fall in love with how brutal and efficient bi han is- like bi han is very one-track-minded and shang can appreciate the brutality he approaches problems with.

and the two of them together? shang's mastermind with bi han's determination and brutality? they're a pair to be reckoned with, and it's terrifying- shang builds the groundworks for something evil and bi han gives him the men and the efficiency to get it done nearly overnight-

they both adore each other for their strengths but also see how they compliment each other and it takes a while for either of them to make a move but once they do their affections and relationship becomes so casual that it almost seems like it's always been that way...

god, thinking about them too hard fr... idk how quickly i'll be able to write smth for them but i will be thinking abt them for a while now, LMAO- i am sick so it might be longer than i'm hoping for, but i do have a few ideas in mind now.. arugrughaskdjf mk men ruin me 😔

#ghost answers #mk1 bi han #mk1 shang tsung #do they have a ship name?? #if they do i have no idea what it is- #also horrid awful thoughts of genderfluid shang tsung and trans bi han... #someone turn me into an oyster fr /j #bishang #coldsoul

[ghostherlig]

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

[ghostherlig]
