It makes me so fucking mad that some of my "favorite" content creators aren't saying anything about Palestine. They have stayed completely silent and just continue to post their usual content as if everything is fine. When you have millions of people who follow you and watch your content every day, YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO MAKE A CHANGE. I don't care if you think that influencers/content creators aren't 'supposed to talk about it', this isn't some small conflict, it is genocide.

It disappoints me so much and makes me not even want to see their content anymore.

If you support Israel, get off my page.

"I swear on it."

word count: 3k+

✰ content: ## SFW, GN!reader (you/your pronouns), brief angst (?) but tons of fluff and comfort. This was a commission for a friend, but I got permission to post it :) enjoy! apologies if formatting is weird

As the days grew colder they also became even shorter, one of the many things Kuai Liang had grown up hating about winter.

Shorter days meant less time spent outside, less time spent with his brothers running around the yard and battling each other with wooden swords.

Bi-Han always flourished in the cold, beating Tomas down faster with swift hits. The wood thunking against the younger brother’s shins and chest until he crumpled against the snowy ground— which always lead to Kuai Liang having to argue with Bi-Han as he dragged Tomas back inside to tend to the blossoming bruises. Blue against his tanned skin, and soon enough shifting to angry shades of red and purples. He hated how the days ended like that but…

Those days felt so distant now. Decades ago, by now. Even thinking that made him feel old. Just the thought made his chest pang with a sense of nostalgia he had become far too familiar with this past week.

The bed felt cold. Or Perhaps it was just the chill in his body, rattling against his ribs with each pump of his heart as Kuai Liang stared up at the wooden beams of the ceiling, sheets and blankets clinging to his form until he kicked them off in favor of the breeze that seeped through the cracks in the window sill. Was it the thoughts of the past that kept him up with the exact moon greeting him, or was it the lack of warmth beside him?

His bleary eyes narrowed until they focused on the empty spot beside him. The faint imprint and smell of his beloved still laced against the bedding, and the hallway light dragged itself under the doorway.

You had gotten up at some point. Perhaps recently, because your pillow was still warm and smelled like your hair. The fragrance soothed the throbbing of nerves that danced along his brow the moment Kuai Liang buried his face into the plush cushion, tensed muscles in his shoulders easing just by a fraction. A fraction enough to allow him a moment of reprieve from the past that haunted him and the ache that settled not just in his chest but over the right side of his face. The wound across his features still burned, even when nestled away from the harsh winds under thick bandages and slathered in a medical salve he could barely even describe the smell of.

His first reaction to the medicine— the crinkling of his nose— had earned a light laugh from you. Blossoming in your lungs to spill from your lips, and suddenly in that moment Kuai Liang had hurt just a little less.

Like he did now, heart thrumming less from anxiety and more from anticipation as the bedroom door creaked open. Oh so carefully, but Kuai wouldn't have cared if you had woken him in the first place.

Your footsteps managed to barely rouse the creaks in the floorboards as you stepped towards the bed, shutting the door behind you with a gentle nudge of your foot before you emptied the contents that filled your hands onto your bedside table.

Only when you glanced up, eager to see your boyfriend still asleep, did you realize not only had he been awake as you snuck back into your shared quarters, but he had stolen your pillow in your absence. With a strong arm looped around it, securing it under his heavy head.

You could only imagine how weary he was.

Such thoughts bubbled to a silence in favor of the imagery in your head of how cat-like he appeared, enough that you almost swore if he had a tail it would be flicking in impatience as he watched the gears in your mind work.

“You're awake?”

You whispered through the darkness. The inquiry earned a rumbling chuckle from Kuai Liang, who stretched and finally released your pillow from his deathly grasp and rolled back over to his side of the bed.

“For a little while, yes.” The heel of his palm rubbed into his uninjured eye, ridding himself of some of the sleepiness that clung to his lashes before his gaze snapped back to you, hand back at his side on the mattress.

“You didn't wake me,” he added before you could question further. Through the blanket of night that settled over your shared space, he still could see the way the corner of your lips twitched into a grateful smile at his assurance even when you hadn't asked for it.

“And you?”

Kuai sat up, leaning his back against his pillow as he felt the mattress dip under your weight. You took a seat on the edge, shifting through whatever items you had brought in with you. He attempted to look around you, but he couldn't make out most of them even with the moonlight’s help.

“I was… Up and down for a while.”

You admitted. In return you could feel his watchful gaze on your back, grazing up and down the expanse of your body. Curiously, you noted. Not leering.

Well, until you felt the warmth of his lips against your nape. A firm hand rested against the small of your back before his fingers danced to trail to your hip, wrapping around the space there as he hummed against your flesh.

“What bothers you, my love?”

He murmured. He could feel the response your body has to his touch, the way you shuddered, mostly in surprise before you relaxed and reclined into his touch like you sought the physical support his hand and kisses offered.

“Nothing,” you exhaled. It wasn't a lie, yet you could still feel his doubt as he huffed out a breath against you and kissed down to your shoulder. Which was thankfully hidden under your pajamas, saving you from the attack of his affection at least for tonight.

“Do I need to swear to you for you to believe me?”

Kuai Liang smirked against you. Even if you couldn't see it, you could almost sense it as his nose nuzzled against the dip of your neck.

“Perhaps. I can't guarantee that will stave off my doubt entirely.”

He remarked back, voice dripping with amusement.

Despite all he had gone through, it seemed you were at the forefront of his mind the most.

Bi-Han would have called you a distraction. Or perhaps even an addiction, something bad for his brother that only served to distract.

Did Father teach you nothing of discipline, Brother?

Words paired with a finger jabbed into Kuai Liang’s chest, yet he wouldn't flinch. He was as steadfast as ever, refusing to back down when it was your name that was laced with such venom. Could no one trust that he knew what was bad or good for him? Did they believe him to have such a clouded mind that they couldn't trust when he fell in love?

He would uphold their Father's traditions until his last breath, he would fight against Bi-Han to uphold those ideals, but he would turn his back the moment it would mean leaving you behind him.

His love for you was pure and burning, whether anyone liked it or not. And you could feel it as he kissed up your jaw to nestle and place a sly one behind your ear, brushing strands of hair out of his way to make his access easier. He felt the way you hummed, like a soft laugh, at his words.

“I swear, nothing is wrong.”

Your words spoke like a soft song that he leaned into, just as he did as you faced him and stroked the bandaged half of his face.

Though he softly flinched under the careful caress of your thumb just the same, eyebrow twitching at the soft throb of the wound underneath. He didn't have to look you in the eyes to see the way your mouth formed a small frown as you retracted your touch— he knew you well enough to guess that you felt a knot of guilt tighten in your throat before you quickly swallowed it down.

“We should change them. The bandages.”

Kuai met your gaze finally at your suggestion and his nostrils flared as he exhaled. This was his least favorite part of the day, or of the healing process in general.

“If we must.”

He responded, reclining back into the pillows. Whatever you had gathered and brought into the room earlier came into view as you placed some on the bed.

Medicines and Bandages. He knew it wasn't all you had brought with you, but he prayed the process needed no more than what lay in front of you now.

“Don't hold your breath this time.”

You offered a light joke. One Kuai Liang almost rolled his eye(s) at.

You had cared for him so meticulously, almost since the mere moment he had gotten this injury. He swore he could feel the blade passing through his skin sometimes, like the day never had ended in the first place, but the medicine… It was far worse.

Or so he had claimed. The smell was so strong it burned his eyes and he almost could taste it in his mouth each time it sunk into his skin, no matter how little you applied or how gently you dabbed it around his injury.

“No promises.”

His jaw briefly flexed as you reached over to him, preparing himself for what he knew came next.

Your fingers were ginger enough when you loosened the bandages from his face, one layer at a time falling free.

The cool air hit the right side of his face, brushing away any warmth that had gathered under the soiled bandages as you discarded them quickly.

It didn't sting, only chilled him partially. He still visibly tensed as he adjusted to the change, his fingers twitching by his side in an urge to press his warm palm against that side of his face and warm it himself.

It wasn't his favorite moment. You caught onto that very easily.

“Scoot closer.”

Just a suggestion. It'd make it easier for you. Maybe that's why he was quick to listen, situating himself closer to your side of the bed. Or maybe it was the way he yearned for your closeness that made him so eager to listen.

Eager. That wasn't a word most would use to describe Kuai Liang. Not even a word that crossed your mind now as you focused on the wound that marred his beautiful face. Stretching from his eyebrow over the lid of his eye and downwards, curving over his cheekbone.

“Is this better?”

He tilted his head towards you a bit more, down closer to your shorter level.

“Very.”

You hummed. A small quirk of his lips suggested he found your response funny in some way or another but he didn't voice it, simply setting his chin into your offered hand.

His lip curled the moment you raised the damp cloth out of the basin, an expression that deepened as you gently dragged it across his skin. It was wet of course. Warm, yet the wetness it left behind over the gash was enough to make the breaths you exhaled feel like a cold gust of wind. You paused your ministrations, a pause that lasted just a second to allow Kuai Liang to shut his eyes and let you continue without his gaze jumping around the room. Perhaps it would go faster if he wasn't so distracted by the way your features accepted the light of the moon through the window like a second skin. That made sense, yeah?

“Does it hurt?”

You asked. Somehow your light motions became even more gentle as you dabbed at the edges of the wound, cleaning dried blood and dirt alike from the scab. You felt the response rumble in his throat as you cradled his jaw to keep him still, each syllable bumping against the tips of your fingers as he spoke them.

“No.”

“You sure?”

Out of your peripheral you saw his left eye crack open to peer at you through his heavy lashes. Laughter that would have bubbled in his gut instead gleamed in his chocolate brown gaze.

Your worries were endearing to him. A quality he enjoyed even as he wished he could disperse it all from your mind at times.

He rested a heavy hand on your knee, letting you feel the warmth of his palms through your pants as he responded so simply.

“I'm positive, my flame.”

He felt your hold on him go slack by a smidge. He made no moves to take it as a chance to escape though, content to let you work. Your attention shifted from the injury to the way he half-gazed at you (lol) before his eye shut once more.

He bared himself to you in moments like these. Allowing you to see him at a point further than naked.

A vulnerability that wasn't exactly rare perhaps, but valued. And he could feel it in the way you cradled him and cared for him, nursed him like you were made to tend to him. The same way you knew he'd fawn over you at a moment's notice.

It was still easy to get carried away with the luxury of peace you were given with a man so easy to love. Even when your finger was bare of a ring, you knew he'd take care of you until the end of days.

Kuai Liang remained still and obedient in your hold, letting his mind okay images behind his eyelids. Of his day, of what lay ahead in the morning, all the work he had to worry for—

Only drawn out of such a trance by the soft motions of your thumb against his cheek. Both eyes pried open this time to face your thoughtful and affectionate eyes, a sight that made his heart flutter just a bit faster.

“Distracted?”

He managed to muse. You barely broke from your own daze to meet his eyes briefly before you offered a roll of your shoulders.

“Just thinking.”

“Me as well.”

He admitted. Kuai Liang chased your gaze this time, cocking his head to the side and pressing his cheek against your palm like a needy cat. It inevitably drew your eyes together again, gazes meeting as he smiled at you.

“Of?”

You were first to ask. His hand on your knee gently squeezed.

“Tomorrow. How I wish I could lay with you later into the day.”

He tilted his head down to kiss your palm. Kuai Liang had to keep himself from laughing as he felt a rush of warmth pump through your veins in reaction. It radiated off you, he couldn't help but feel it in such a close proximity.

“And you?”

“It's.. Less poetic.”

Your dry laugh earned a quick of his unmarked brow.

“No need to be eloquent. I'll listen nonetheless.”

Assurance met with a relaxation crossing your features, knit together brows easing.

“I’m thinking about how much I hate seeing you hurt.”

Maybe now would be a time to draw you into his arms and squeeze the anxieties out of your frame, and to remain wrapped up with you in the sheets until Tomas fetched you both for chores. Kuai itched to do just that, to kiss over your face until you laughed and pried him off of you, or until you curled up against his chest to hide your face from his flurry of attacks.

Instead, he simply watched. He watched the emotions play over your face as you continued.

“There's so much I wish I could do or could've done, I-”

“I wouldn't have wanted you to stop this.”

Kuai Liang interrupted. You visibly paused, hand drawing back from his jaw as you blinked at him.

“If my suffering means I've earned a place in your arms, I would take it over again in a heartbeat.”

The firmness of his words contrasted sharply with the way his eyes melted into pools of devotion, staring deep into your own as he pushed on.

“No matter what happens to me, I will persevere. Because it means I can crawl back to you and feel the warmth of your hands again.”

His touch drew away from you, a loss that made his chest squeeze before he found your wrists.

His gentleness was so familiar every other time and yet still managed to make it feel brand new the way he brought your hands up to his lips and pressed his lips against your knuckles one by one. Sweet and tender, like you'd always know him to be.

“I don't like when you hurt.”

You reiterated, biting into your cheek to keep from saying more as he kissed the pads of your fingertips.

“Hm.”

Kuai Liang hummed in response.

“Then I suppose I'll have to come home unharmed every day for the rest of our lives, won't I?”

He purred. With a gentle nudge he uncurled your fingers and kissed down your palm to the underside of your wrist, squeezing your other hand in his larger one.

“I'm serious.”

“As am I, my love.”

The urge to argue was strong, but any time you'd open your mouth all your words would die ok your tongue. Like your mind urged you to take the love over the anxiety just this once. It was always a battle, but tonight the decision was easy. And quick.

“The rest of our lives, huh?”

“I won't have anyone else.”

“Never?”

Kuai raised his head, withdrawing his kisses from your now warmed skin.

“Never.”

He allowed one of your hands to slip out of his hold but still cupped the other. His calloused fingers pressed against the back of yours, gently pressing them into position until it was only your pinky standing straight up.

Kuai Liang linked his pinky finger with yours. He was careful even as he squeezed, wrapping his finger tighter around yours like a hug between the digits. Your lungs seemed incapable of producing any air for you to breathe this time as he brought your joined fingers to his lips, pressing a kiss over them one final time as if to seal the sacredness of the gesture in your mind.

And when he raised his lips away from your skin again, he smiled at you.

“I swear on it.”

anyone who ship Kuai Liang with Bi Han or Thomas, need to get bullied ASAP. Some of you are disgusting and trying so hard to make it work! Insect will never be accepted no matter how much you try. The only reason you like it because you are mentally ill. That's all. Don’t be suprised or senstive when people hate on you and call you disgusting, then act like you don't care naah you do. You deserve it. Disgusting freak. Please fix your brain. 💞

Can you write about how Syzoth and the reader meet and eventually fall in love? Thank you!

oh my god YES ofc anon, this fills my brain w so many thoughts™,,,

✰ content: ## SFW , fluff with light angst (mention of Syzoth's previous family, his loss, Shang Tsung's bullshit no offense baby girl) , probably barely proofread. I speak more casually here because it's a lot of personal hcs LOL. GN!reader, you/your pronouns used.

Syzoth's romance would be THE definition of a slow burn. Meeting him with Cage and the others doesn't really speed that up, but he certainly learns to really appreciate you as a fixture of the group when you help him mourn and wrap his head around his loss. It's really abrupt, so he needs to take his time coping with the knowledge before he even thinks about taking someone else romantically. So he'd value someone with patience and boatloads of empathy. Even if you were a bit awkward when comforting him, he'd manage to find a bit of charm in your ramblings in attempt to soothe his troubled mind.

Of course it's not like you seek him out right off the bat either, so it's a lot of mutual pining as well when yours and his feelings come to light. Syzoth would feel a little guilty, like he's betraying the memory of his lost loved ones by seeking out a human of all things. I like to think Cage plays wingman- and his version of that is forcing as much proximity as possible. Like orchestrating plans just to ditch you two so you're alone for HOURS, and when he comes back he coughs really loudly to announce his presence.

"What? I didn't know what you two love birds would be getting up to while i was gone! Just had to make sure I wasn't walking in on anything scandalous-" (please hit him for me)

Jokes aside, he does really well at teaching Syzoth about "human courtship" and dating culture, and to boost the poor guys confidence. You're like a beacon of pure light and joy to Syzoth, you picked him up when he was down, how could he ever be worthy of you? How could he even repay your kindness at all???

Syzoth does his best at dropping hints after he realizes you've been oblivious to his courting and attempts at wooing you. Turns out, offering you a piece of his roasted swamp creature snack isn't the sweetest gesture- cut him some slack, he's still learning. He'll lay compliments on HEAVY, and he's surprisingly keen to most details of you as a person, but also generally of your appearance. Like if you trimmed an inch off your hair, he compliments how much shinier your hair is after the loss of your split ends. Ignoring the fact that it sounds slightly backhanded

New shirt? He wants to know why you got it. He thinks that certain colour brings out the hues of your eyes! (he thinks that with everything you wear. I think he's just in love with your eyes) New tattoo or piercing? He really wants to take a good long look at it, hear your thoughts and what drove you to such artistic choices, and gushes about how much he adores your self expression.

"It is a beautiful thing, how open you are I mean.. It's like you bare a piece of yourself to the world. I really like it."

He is always so incredibly sincere, flustering the second you also get embarrassed by his words. He isn't a poet, you just make him feel profound and beautiful things.

The first time he properly asks you out, he's nothing short of a nervous wreck. With his clammy hands and shifty eyes, quietly asking if you'd like to accompany him to an Outworld festival. The second he hears a yes from your lips, he's brightening like a star and thanking you. he's not sure why, but he just feels so grateful and lucky for such an opportunity!

Th evening is nothing short of perfect, Syzoth glued to your side like a protective force, his tension easing only when you grasp his hand and point excitedly at some merchant stand that's boasting the cutest trinkets ever. He's smiling wide under his mask as you tug him forward, squeezing your hand gently as his thumb rubs over your knuckles. His heart is melting in his chest when you make him try on a hair pin. His hair is much too short to hold it, and it almost clatters to the ground if you two didn't fumble to catch it- it's a pretty ornament, but he ends up getting you a gorgeous hand crafted necklace.

A beautiful white jade circular pendant held to the chain by a silver frame of koi fish. He thinks it's stunning, even more so as you bite your cheek to contain your excited ramblings as the cold metal grazes the skin of your neck, followed by the warmth of his careful hands as he fastens it in place <3

Maybe you don't kiss on the first date and that's more than okay, because the mere second you had kissed him for the first time, you swore he turned bright red and looked rather faint... It's probably best to ease him into such affectionate gestures.
