MK1 Story Mode:
Shang Tsung: Here on behalf of a dissatisfied customer? If it's revenge you want, have at it. If it's restitution... there's nothing left.
Shang Tsung: A living? It is barely survival.
Liu Kang: I gave the sorcerers meaningless lives... They should have never gained power, let alone joined forces.
Shang Tsung vs Liu Kang intro dialogue:
Shang Tsung: Your plan to punish me has failed.
Liu Kang: I wished to reform you, not punish you.

i haven’t sat down yet to write up a full account for tumblr of prem’s oni misadventure but in celebration of the luxon strike announcement here’s the bare bones:
during “what lies beneath,” the oni latched onto prem not just as tasty prey but as a viable host for creating more oni. it fed him sensory hallucinations based on memories of what he’d done for the shining blade, feelings of unbalance, paranoia, and betrayal, and tempted him with the opportunity to be a father figure, for the entire 10 weeks between episodes. prem became convinced that yao & gorrik were scheming against him, smashed their prototype recollector, and ditched gorrik out of comms range. then when confronted, fully corrupted into a second oni.
after a gnarly fight he snapped himself out of it, killed the original oni by overloading it with his own mesmer magic + the remains of magic gifted from anise, vlast, and dwayna, and regained control of his body. but it remains significantly scarred and monstered up, he’s no longer a mirage, and his oni is still alive inside him, dormant unless he satisfies his craving to consume magic or indulges in extreme negative emotion. luckily he’s surrounded by monsterfuckers

there's something about seeing a s&l mutual post about Gar that causes a Grinch level smirk to appear on my face
but also whisper "oh god what have I done" to myself because Titans treats Gar just as bad (if not worse) as S&L treats Jon

i’m sure someone’s already talked about this but i’m tipsy and rewatching the first episode of hotd and i don’t wanna say i liked it, cuz i didn’t like anything about that scene, but i did appreciate that aemma defies the tropes we see a lot of the time in media when women have difficult pregnancies and deliveries where it’s always “save my baby over me” that without fail happens every single time. but instead, aemma is very very clear on the fact that she’d really rather not be in the position she’s in right now, and when the men around her make the unilateral choice to perform a caesarean to save the baby at the expense of her life, she doesn’t do the Fictional Lady thing of lying back and saying she agrees, she’s fucking horrified and fights against it after having spent the majority of her screentime reaffirming her autonomy as a person, as more than a human incubator. and never submits to it. she doesn’t just accept the idea that her life has ceased to have value and that she should accept dying (in a brutal and horrible way), she very clearly wants to live and that choice is being actively taken away from her.

i also think there are few things funnier than the way allen and kanda's relationship changes throughout the manga. like i do not ship them at all but for over a hundred issues it's yuu edgelord supreme kanda being like 'FUCK you for being nice and polite all the time. the world is a TERRIBLE place and it is STUPID AND NAIVE for you to pretend otherwise' and allen grin and bear it walker being like 'Actually I Believe In The Inherent Value Of Human Life You Piece Of Shit :) Be Nice To People :) Appreciate Your Friends :) Find Hope Or Go To Hell :) ' and then searching for AW hits with all the force of neah and the fourteenth and suddenly allen is like "maybe it is all meaningless actually haha i ruin everything i touch and my life was never truly mine <3 i think i might go catatonic for a little while about it wouldn't that be fun <3 go on the run and isolate myself <3" while kanda tracks him down to shake him by the shoulders like "wait wait wait fuck you oh my god stop that you need to believe in people again what about your fucking friends jesus christ don't you remember them oh my fucking god where did your stupid hope go and why do i have to be the one to force you to find it UGH." kanda fucked around and found out. literally be careful what you wish for.
