Warning vent ahead. Vent about characters needing to be child free. And we need to normalize characters being child free mostly. But also vents about fandom in general.

So if you dont like that. Scroll on.

Cw: vent,talking about being child free

Unpopular opinion but

Shang tsung should be child free. That should be common fucking sense but here we are.

Any fan kids i make are aus. Period.

I love hcs about fankids but also

i hate that stupid fucking annoying af bullshit hcs of mileena being a daughter to shang when basic fucking lore states she is shao kahns daughter. And is the cloned sister of kitana. You know her whole fucking purpose?! She can make amends with kitana and be actual sisters without having to be fucking cutesy with shang. Leave shang out of your weird hcs. Just leave shang out of kitana and mileenas life period. Like my mans did not wanna be there. He hates shao kahn. He hates working there. He had no choice but to be some bitch lapdog minion for shao kahn. Which he absolutely fucking hated. He fucking hates them. Period. He never wanted to make mileena he was ordered to by force. The only one that felt remotely something for mileena was tanya and maybe reptile but thats about it. Period.

Leave shang out of things he doesn't need to be. The only part he had in mileenas life was basically being a fucking wet nurse. Milly was a test tube baby made FOR SHAO KAHN ORDERES BY SHAO KAHN BECAUSE AGAIN HE COULDN'T MANIPULATE KITANA BECAUSE OF SINDEL. (i can't believe i have to state basic lore to people.)

In fact its kinda insulting to her character. To be fam with a dude that legit did not give a fuck about her. And barely saw her as a person. She was an experiment. Period.

Like shang tsung can be soft without having kids. Shang can be soft WITHOUT MILEENA.

Shang tsung can be soft as a mentor figure TO SOMEONE ELSE! a teacher. He canonly teaches others who follow him or revere him.

Why not make him soft that way?

Why does he NEED a child to soften him?

Like my fan kids and aus aside.

Shang tsung can be soft for someone without having to have kids to do so.

Normalize not having kids. Normalize not wanting kids. Normalize characters being child free. Normalize being cool with kids but not wanting kids.

IF AND ONLY IF shang were to have kids. Im gonna put it bluntly honey. He would rather have kids from his own ballsack,the old fashioned way,literally fucking someone he actually gives a shit bout(which would be rare in of itself) then make a fucking clone or have a clone be made. Im sorry not sorry never will be sorry.

Shang tsung is kinda vain. Just as a reminder. He is a villain after all and i feel you guys forget this.

He can be soft,sweet,a good husband,a loving man,gentle or domestic even.

But he doesn't need children to prove that. Or show it.

Again we can have fankids. We can show aus.

But please if a character has to have kids to show their worth. I dont want it.

Personally I may or may not have kids of my own some day. Maybe not who knows? I care about them enough to wanna be stable enough to do so. And be able to provide. But also make sure my partner is comfortable too. Because thats what youre supposed to do. Do i think i could be a good mom? Sure. I do also have support. But im being smart about shit. Also we need to normalize not wanting children too because not everyone is like me nor would be a good parent. We need to normalize being child free,Even on our blorbos. Again i dont hate kids nor people who want them. Again im not sure,i may or may not have any of my own. But the problem is people think you HAVE to have kids to be whole,domestic,loving,nurturing,etc. You can be paternal and nurturing without having children. Of your own or adopted. Like ffs!

So plz. Can i have one fic,one art,some crumb of shit. Where shang is soft and domestic and sweet. WITHOUT HIM BEING A FATHER?! (Again fankids and clearly stated aus dont count. Because those are aus and fankids are just that,a fankid. Canon characters he "created" need to not be taken literally. Because i swear people need to shove a societal check box into everything. And even then,nrs doesn't give a crap but that doesn't mean you ignore basic fucking lore. Just because nrs and ed boob doesn't give a fucking damn. Don't mean you should ignore basic lore. MILEENA IS SHAO KAHNS DAUGHTER AND AT VERY LEAST IS KITANAS CLONED SISTER(which again they should make amends,because if hanzo n kaui can so can they. But then again y'all dont really give a fuck about women nor female characters,so yeah) POINT BLANK PERIOD END OF DISCUSSION DIE MAD)

#shang tsung #mortal kombat #mortal kombat discourse #unpopular opinion #very unpopular opinion #plz let characters be child free #vent #shang can be soft without being a father #if shang tsung is a father it would be to his own kids not a clone he made for a tyrant #he cared not for mileena outside of an experiment he never saw her as a complete person only an asset to his goals lets be blunt and honest #mileena never had anyone besides tanya maybe give a shit about her #kitana needs to make amends so they can be proper sisters and leave fucking shang tsung out of people fucking heads #sorry i just hate that ONE hc with mileena n shang with a burning passion #like srry for talking in the tags but yeah

RAB fics (6-13 aug)

A Good Life by kkwide So Hermione gets yeeted from Malfoy Manor to school year 1977/78, adopted by Abeforth Dumbeldore for cover story which is already pretty rad, and yeah it's not an Everyone Lived AU there are some unexpected deaths. Regulus/Hermione endgame

1 New Match! by mcplestreet wooo! texting fic! James and Regulus match on Tinder and hit it right off. Regulus is trans and doesn't talk about his fam so James cannot be blamed for not connecting the dots between his bf (boyfriend) and bf (best friend). V cute! I love lily

The Highest Form of Betrayal by star boy Lyn (LyncisLikeTheStar) bro is it immoral to kidnap your trans baby brother/best friend/boyfriend on the eve of his 18th birthday if you're afraid for his life

Meetings That Start In The Dark by writingamarie I'm agh. SO GOOD. Watch out for pretty horrible child abuse, Walnut and Onion are truly deranged in this one (but believably so). There's also the very lovely swapping of Black brothers personalites where Regulus goes from overlooked second son who can pretty much run his mouth to the most careful lil bean out there, and Sirius who's a shy kid but grows moxies and a big mouth after making friends with his Gryffindor roomies. anyways slowburn jegulus but the romance doesn't even start until very late in the plot which i also like

All The Lonely People by tinyscales AAAAAAAAaaaaI can't believe accidental baby aquisition jegulus AU is something we've been blessed with

I Sleep with the Dirt by Fire Glow by Grey_Kenaz A part of Regulus' sould latched onto Sirius and when Dumbled was researching Horcruxes he figured it out so they pulled Reggie out of the lake and now Regulus wants to gnaw on people kinda but he's getting better and Voldy is going to regret not killing him properly when he had a chance

The Secrets of Regulus Black by Josiem Secrets. Regulus has them to keep his loved ones and himself safe. if only everyone stopped being so nosy

the bridges we burned (and the home we built) by star boy Lyn (LyncisLikeTheStar) AAAAAAAAAAAA so very good. Regulus secretly reconciles with Sirius and is secretly spending time with his/their friends when he can and also Jegulus is in the oven and Walnut is arranging marriage

rewrite my heart (let the future in) by secretpersona this fic gave me permanent brain damage I CAN NOT see a fluffy white cat without going "soup :)" Pandora/Regulus and Emma Vanity owns my heart

The Past is The Present, The Future is The Past by DearOurMoony I'm. AH. THE CONCEPT. THE PREMISE. the execution. regulus does a do when he dies and now he shows up in 16yo James' dreams to give him little hints and pushed in the right directions so that he can win the war before too many people die. James accidentally starts dating NewTimeline Regulus lmao

Burning Doves by TowardTheStars you can see the author improved a LOT between the first and the newest chapter which is really cool in on itself but also unrequired Regulus/Snape (Regulus is pining Severus is just friends) and uuuuh can't wait where it goes

unbreakable heaven by battlehamster james wants to date but Regulus' been hurt really badly before so he just wants to smash (but secretly he wants to date)

A (somewhat unconventional) Black Family Getaway by Trex_patronus :D

it's brutal out here by dracoladon, lazywonderland not regulus but ugh must be my new most favourite hp smut, it's Draco/Charlie sub/Dom just putting it out here

#regulus black #fic rec #posting now because tomorrow i probably wont have time ugh i dont wanna go home actually
