bi-han > returning without him
reader is the wife of bi-han but is crushed to find out he sided with shang tsung
notes: womp womp
masterlist <3
Tumblr media
•being the long-time wife of bi-han
•kissing him goodbye before he heads out with his brothers on a mission to gain intel on the construction of the soul beacons
•you're a ninja of the lin kuei as well, a more than capable fighter on your own. with no elemental powers but all the strength you'd need. liu kang just did not ask for your aid this time around for reasons unknown.
•tending to your own homely duties as well as being the temporary grandmaster for the lin kuei in your husband's absence though you don't need to do too much as he's already trained them to near perfection.
•so incredibly excited for his return, sure to make your living quarters even more perfect than it was before he left. you find yourself smoothing the sheets down each time you pass by.
•the ninjas utter excitement as well, hoping that quan chi and shang tsung's toying with souls ends soon and things may return to peace.
•but then the portal opens, and you only see your brother-in-laws, one of which bearing a new, thick scar down his face. they look solemn. you know immediately.
•to betray his clan is one thing, but to betray his spouse and brothers... how could he be so evil, when he was the symbol for protection? perhaps, he only sought to protect himself. perhaps you... weren't enough for him, and the thought tears your chest open.
•scream-sobbing in tomas's arms as kuai liang rubs a hand around your back, neither one of them saying much because they're fighting back devastation of their own.
•they partially hold themselves responsible for not being able to stop bi-han from siding with evil, but they also know deep down he was a corrupted leader with malicious intentions, which you turned a blind eye to in hopes that he'd become a better man.
•you sit by the pond with the brothers, staring blankly into the still water. you ask, hoarsely, if he showed any signs of hesitation. you take their silence as a no, which makes your sobs burn your chest.
•you channel this disappointment into anger, and anger into hatred as your punches become harder and kicks swifter. the lin kuei disbands and reforms into the shirai ryu, and the brothers offer you a spot at the top alongside them.
•your life becomes completely engulfed in taking down your husband and those who wish to spread evil. you're hardened. some of the ninjas even say you've become as cold as sub-zero. you would've been proud of this before, but now it feels like the deepest, sharpest insult.

hold on i need to get a thought and emotions out. so with Welcome Home, there seems to be a before and an after. obviously, we're in the after. the website is the after. and if it turns out that the story we see, the one where shit hits the fan and the show is practically erased, then... that already happened. whatever horrors we see, we'll know that there is no saving them. there is no happy ending - it happened, and it's tragic. the show is doomed to end and be scrubbed away. if any of the characters are revealed to be dead/gone by the website, then when/if we see them at an earlier point, we'll Know
and there's a special kind of dread and horror in that for us, the audience.
#im not articulating this the way i want to...#it's like going to see a tragic play. like romeo and juliet for instance.#we go into it knowing the end. they die. no matter what they die. every step they take leads to That End#every happy moment is undercut by the knowledge that it won't last#thinking about this makes me think that at some point learning more about the story/characters is gonna feel like digging up a grave#AGH I LOVE IT THOUGH I LOVE IT. IT HURTS SO MUCH BUT I LOVE IT#its a special feeling of dread/nostalgia/bittersweetness/resignation#and that is sensation in the chest that doesnt feel good but it also does somehow? it hurts but just enough to not be unbearable?#welcome home#welcome home speculation#welcome home puppet show#man i am so so so so scared for the puppets lmfao#i have some theories on the ways shit might go down. like little things. souring relationships and such#i also have a feeling that the story is really gonna hit home (ha) for me in Big Ways#like as soon as i saw clown say that it's kinda about 'when does a home become a house' and stuff#OOF. YIKES. WHEN DOES IT INDEED. i mean i know. ive lived it. im Living it.#this is gonna get unintentionally personal Real Fast in Several Fun And Festive Ways for me huh#i wonder if the story is gonna be uncovered linearly or not...#chewing on it chewing on it chewing on it#i can't wait to Understand the world/characters so that i can write fanfic. i want to so badly. i want to Explore#i want to hop into that grave and keep digging

Galladrabbles: Kindred Spirits🥂
@creepkinginc Nosho! You brilliant, wonderful goblin!! I LOVE your prompt this week for @galladrabbles and you have officially caused this series to drift into the angst, emotional/hurt/comfort zone 🤣
**
It was the middle of the night, Mickey was woken by a pounding on his door.
Ian barged in. Tore off his clothes. Fucked him hard right there in the entry way. Hand around his throat. Gun in the back of his jeans.
It wasn’t until they laid in bed after that Ian spoke soft—gentle.
“Why’re you with me, Mick? I’m a fucking born disaster.”
Mickey looks into those green eyes, sighs.
“I wouldn’t choose to be me either.”
Ian’s silent, moves on top of Mickey, takes him slow, tongues and hands intertwined.
“Run far away from me, Mickey. Don’t look back.”

thinkin about leon suffering blood loss, mild delirium, and laughing his fuckin ass off at nonsense while chris is trying to get this motherfucker to safety
leon's just in chris' chest, breathless and giggling, but he can't remember wtf it was about, and that's only fueling the giggle-fit.
for some reason,,,

angstpril day 9 trust issues
i know i’ve done wrong but i’m bound to make it right
"Tommy, I only agreed because Aunt Sophie has to leave urgently and her friend can't take care of her dog. You're already thirteen years old, but remember that a dog is a big responsibility and has its own needs, you have to take good care of it," Deb Turnbull said to her thirteen-year-old son, Tommy Turnbull.
Tommy rolled his eyes.
"Yes, I know, mom. Can I go now?"
Deb nodded and handed Tommy the little dog, and without waiting any longer, the boy set off for his room.
[***]
Ever since the dog appeared in the room, Robotboy had been sending him death glares (he couldn't help being a little wary after the last one). Tommy sat on the floor and played with the killer dog. However, he must have sensed that something was wrong because he stopped playing and turned to his friend.
"Ro? Hellooo?" he snapped his fingers in front of his face "Robotboy!"
Ro shook his head, snapping out of his trance.
"Tommy?"
"Earth to Ro. Everything ok?" He asked, slightly worried.
Ro blinked a few times.
"Yes. Robotboy all right. "
The teen looked at him skeptically, sitting down next to him.
"Is something bothering you?"
RB was already about to answer when Buster approached them with a ball in his mouth, wagging his tail, wanting Tommy to throw it. From the corner of his eye, he saw Robotboy clench his jaw and squint his eyes slightly. He was sure his robot was about to start growling.
He sighed quietly, picked up the ball and threw it outside the room. Buster ran after it, barking happily. He turned back to his friend.
"It's about Buster, right?" he made sure, although he knew the answer well. Ro looked away, not speaking "Ro, you have to understand that we are in no danger here. I'm not in danger," he explained, "I know you feel uncomfortable and cautious, but I've known Buster since he was a puppy, he won't do anything to us. "
Robotboy crossed his arms over his chest.
"Robotboy doesn't worry about that," he replied, watching Buster closely as he fetched the ball and brought it back again to throw to him, "Robotboy..." he paused and sighed, something he learned from watching Tommy, "I don't want to be replaced," he lowered his voice a little, "forgotten."
Tommy blinked a few times. Wait-
"Replaced? Ro, why do you think you would be rep..." he paused, suddenly recalling all the situations in which Robotboy might have felt replaced. Leaving aside the trap dog from Kamikazi, there were an awful lot of such situations. He winced. No wonder Robotboy has trust issues "Geez...Ro, I...I'm sorry," he scratched the back of his neck, "I guess I wasn't a good friend if I made you feel replaced so many times."
RB shook his head then sent him a gentle smile.
"Tommy not worry. Tommy is..."he paused. Robotboy has been trying very hard to work on his grammar lately and Tommy couldn't be more proud of him "You are the best friend Robotboy...that I have had. I wouldn't want to have anyone else as a friend," he finished.
Tommy smiled broadly at him. If all the people in the world were like his Robotboy.
"Thanks, Ro. Vice versa," he replied, "so we okay?" he made sure. The robot nodded.
"We okay. "
At that moment, Buster again returned with his ball, but this time he approached Robotboy. Ro tensed up, looking at the dog uncertainly. Tommy moved closer.
"It’s okay."
"I'm itching," Ro whispered.
"What?"
"Superactivation's itching."
The blond rolled his eyes, smirking slightly.
"It's okay," he repeated, stroking his friend's shoulder "Buster is not your enemy. Buster, leave it."
The dog obediently handed the ball to the boy, poking out his tongue, and he passed it into Robotboy's hand.
"Okay, hold it and gently throw it, but gently, Ro because we don't want to go again to the neighbors asking if a dog's ball flew through their house," he said, amused. The robot's cheeks colored slightly blue.
"Okay, okay. Understood," he muttered and gently tossed Buster his toy. Buster contentedly threw himself in pursuit. After a while he came back, threw the ball under the robot's feet and buckled up, stuck out his tongue and waited for Ro to throw it again. RB blinked a few times.
"Oh" he said only, and Tommy laughed.
"See? Dogs are not so complicated," he stretched, suppressing a yawn, "and how is Superactivation? Has it calmed down?"
"Yes. It doesn't itch anymore."
The teenager smiled and stood up. Ro looked at him confused.
"Come on, we're going to take Buster out to the yard so he can run around a bit," he said, and Buster, hearing the word 'yard', left the ball and, barking, ran out of the room.
"But I-"
"Nuh uh, no 'buts,' " he interrupted him before Robotboy could get started "I don't want you to ever feel left out, so we'll take care of this little demon as a team," he decided, extending his hand.
Robotboy smiled slightly and grabbed the other boy's hand.
Tommy's words and tone of voice made Robotboy almost believe him.
But what happened won't go away, and Robotboy will remember.
who ever watched robotboy just once will agree with me that this bean has trust issues (i think i would too 💀) these are the times that i really hate tommy lmao btw the title is from drake bell's song i kinda relate (bro i’ve been watching quiet on set and it sure messed me up, i will never look at these shows the same again🧍)

One thing I love regarding Acheron's "About X" voice lines is that they are all very metaphorical. She talks about the feelings of the person, the vibe they give off, and this is very in line with her saying that even when her memories fade, the emotions linger.
The Trailblazer reminds her of someone she once knew, beloved in the eyes of their friends (and I will be very interested to see if we learn more about this someone). Sam, she talks about the blazing fire, and how he is one left to hold the ashes after it burns out. Aventurine, who behind all his grand gestures and shows, is empty.
She hangs onto the feelings people give her. And a lot of these feelings she talks about cut right to the core of how she perceives that person. She may not be able to remember small details, what they drank together, when they met — but in her own way, she remembers them.

Girl like. The reason he said "this is how it should be" and faced death with a smile....is cuz he wanted to die. For 2 years he sat there thinking he was worthless and deserved to die. If he hadn’t be shot, his death would’ve been suicide, he was fully planning to die in a gutter somewhere undetected. When saying "this is how it should be" hes literally saying "don’t cry because I’m dying, my death is a good thing actually because I fucking suck and you are better off without me". I don’t think that’s badass even slightly, it’s actually really sad and really shitty. Shinjiro is so convinced that he deserves to die and hates the idea of anyone giving a shit about him because he literally can’t wrap his mind around the idea that he will be missed when he’s gone, that his death is a bad thing actually. And his last words were meant to be comforting because he fully did not intend for anyone to be there when he died, he intended to die alone, so he says them as a reminder that he’s not worth crying over
Personally, if it were me, if I was holding my dying best friend in my arms who was deeply depressed and suicidal and he said "this is how it should be" uh. I wouldn’t admire him for it??? Like am I losing my mind when I say the way this game handles Shinji is bad or is anyone else seeing this too 😰
#its like okay listen i understand the basic math of any persona game they say things and everything they say is actually#very bad when you think about it for more than 3 seconds#like what theyre intending to do with the death of this character is be like oh no your sad friend dies tragically thats so saddddd#but that doesnt mean you cant live a wonderful life full of meaning you cant let grief consume you life is beautiful awagga#and i guess shinji is a specific character whos used cuz i guess its more tragic that he never realized he was worthy of life and shit#and i guess its also like ‘dont be like this guy who let grief consume him and then died you gotta Be Different’#which i dont. love. that last part cuz if you think about shinji and what led him down this road#its like. of course hes depressed! he accidentally killed a woman with a child when he was 16!#he himself is an orphan and he just made some other kid an orphan as well and it happened cuz his persona went out of control#which very much can translate to ‘this must mean im dangerous and can hurt everyone if im not kept under control’#so of course he isolated himself and believed he was evil and became suicidal like who wouldnt feel that way#like am i supposed to be mad he left sees and took drugs cuz uh while i dont think isolation or Evil Drug is good for his mental health#i dont think him continuing to fight in sees is something he can just easily do again given how he killed someone like he shouldnt have to#be a part of this thing anymore like how would he even safely get castor to not do that??? he cant kill more people on accident!#so yeah like using shinji as an example of bad coping mechanisms is already just. a big fucking oof to me like it just feels like the game#is saying he shouldve gotten over it and simply not be suicidal and stayed on the team. idk if thats the intent but uh it wouldnt faze me#cuz persona games are notoriously awful at writing characters who are traumatized and abused#but what makes everything even worse is how the game kinda like. acts like shinjis death is a stepping stone#like we’re supposed to use it as a wake up call and understand the stakes but keep going on anyways#and akihiko and Ken get. ‘great character development’ according to the game telling you they have now developed#but damn all akihiko is is just repressed he cries for 3 seconds and then is like I SHOULD MAN UP and then neglects a depressed child#shinjis dying words are words to live by now even though they piss me the fuck off like girl am i crazy HES FUCKING#HES TELLING ME NOT TO CRY OVER HIM BECAUSE HE SHOULD BE DEAD ACTUALLY AND THIS IS A GOOD THING ACTUALLY#like if the game wants us to still find meaning in life despite losing someone it just really hurts that shinji has to die for that to work#apparently. cuz the character i see myself in is shinji. not some perfect prettyboy who does everything perfectly and has 4 gfs#his death seems like a punishment for bad behavior. the bad behavior being of course depression and drug use. and im simply supposed to be#better than that if i want to live. and we dont get to form a connection with him cuz thats gayyyyy#and his death is like a NOBLE HEROIC SACRIFICE idk its just such bullshit to me i hate it so bad#how is killing a suicidal guy and then treating it as admirable that he said ‘this is how it should be’ supposed to make me feel#makes me feel sick personally and it ruins the entire game’s theme to me because its fucking shallow and the story is bad and im tired

2023 reads // twitter thread
This Doesn’t Mean Anything
NA contemporary romance about a sex-repulsed girl starting uni and meeting an upperclassman who hangs out in the same study room and coffeeshop as she does
struggling with her asexuality, new friendships, and harassment
#This Doesn’t Mean Anything#aroaessidhe 2023 reads#well.#I was overall enjoying the first half of this! then it went to shit lol#for one. WAY TOO LONG. but also feels like scenes would be very short then skip to the next day#I liked how the first half of the book was just developing the relationship as a friendship.#there’s a conflict at 50% and they literally are terrible to each other for almost the entire rest of the book#also the conflict of why they can’t get together feels manufacured.#he feels like he (21) is too old for her (18) and while i’m like…yeah I understand that im iffy about it too;#as the reader we know they’re going to get together anyway. so it just feels stupid. and made that way just to cause a conflict. which lasts#too long.#2)#then men are SO overprotective to the point it’s kinda. not creepy exactly but like why the fuck can none of these women go anywhere without#a dude accompanying them? the MMC even. when she tells him to leave her alone (because he rejected her) he’s still being all protective and#and calling her sweetheart like I started to actively dislike him. it’s like. borderline manipulative ‘nice guy’#THEN it threw in a SA at 80% or whatever which. a) can we not SA our ace characters and b) is just not handled well. it feels like an excuse#to make them hurt/comfort and then get together aka end their conflict. which. oof.#3)#‘i was looking up why i dont want sex and i saw the word asexuality but couldn’t find much else maybe the GSA could help’#you can’t use info-not-on-the-internet as a plot excuse when. there is endless info about that on the internet? I don’t think this is set in#2005? also she doesnt even go ask the gsa#while her sex repulsion is a significant part of the book actual references to asexuality are extremely brief and half of it is shoved into#the last chapters. and it’s almost entirely her being self hating and the LI affirming her#anyway I can see the INTENTION is good here; the quality of writing just makes it all bad#like maybe these things are the author's experience and that's fine. the way it's written is uncomfortable.#i can tell all the 5* reviews are people who have never read an ace book before. i promise there is better#i think there’s gonna be a companion sequel about her roommate being aroace which. I don’t have super high hopes for writing-wise but I gues#guess I'm interested

Which Tragic character from ancient greek literature are you?
Tumblr media
medea
you are medea from from the argonautica by apollonius and medea by euripides. you are ambitious, ruthless, and unforgiving in getting what you want, and unapologetic in your self-preservation. the truth is, you have let your romantic ideals get the better of you before, and time and time again you have had to relearn how to build up those walls and thorns that guard it. the only person who can protect you is yourself, and you have learned that the hard way. sometimes stoking that fire of hate and anger in your heart hurts more than whatever you're fighting against.

TRAGIC HORROR TROPES.
Tumblr media
— the final girl.
the final girl comes out the other end of trauma alive – or, they were supposed to. honestly, you're not so sure you're really alive anymore. you saw the same hurt take those you were closest to while everyone paraded your bruises and bravery, as strength, as if you're the hero. and it hurts. you're tired and you don't want to have to be brave anymore. whatever you went through, it changed so much of who you were that you're still getting used to the person you see in the mirror. you didn't have a say in any of it, but you're here now, and that's gotta count for something. you'll make it count for something. but first, you need to let yourself find rest.
Tumblr media
— the witch.
people need to find blame wherever they can; it makes the bad things in their life feel just a touch more bearable. the witches are so often blamed for the curses others are under that no one even questions it anymore. you point to a supposed witch and everyone else prepares the stake, no matter their innocent. to be born and believed a witch is one of the worst curses of them all – you can have friends and family, but there's always a dread that someday, someone will point to you, and everyone you once trusted will throw you into the pyre. if you're here, reading this, you've probably been burned before. and i don't blame you for wanting to hide away, to really become the witch they all say you are, to curse them. but to be a witch is to brush your fingertips over the bark of a tree and watch it grow a touch stronger. keep that in mind.
Tumblr media
— the vampire.
it is the loneliest day of a vampire's life, the first time they look into a mirror and see their reflection missing. drinking blood sucks too, don't get me wrong, but as a vampire you had to learn to hide from the sunlight, from your family, all your friends, because you were unavoidably different now and you didn't know how to explain that to them in a way they would understand. you could get stranger's blood in bursts, but what is life when you can't know someone for longer than the night lasts? you left everything behind because it was easier than trying to tell them. i just hope you know you're not the only vampire out there, and that there exist people who will understand your situation without a word. they'll sit with you in the dark for as long as you'll need them to.
Tumblr media
— the mummy.
here's the thing about mummies – why the hell is anyone opening up their tombs? you were resting. you were peaceful. but someone intruded, barged in and broke down your walls and stole all the parts of yourself that you cherished, and then blamed you for being angry. blamed you for chasing them down no matter how fast they ran and how many obstacles they put in your path. and you know what? they deserve your rage. they destroyed something sacred. they didn't give a shit, and they wouldn't ever have lamented their actions had it not been for you – the real hero – getting up and showing them that they don't have the right to destroy and pillage as they please. that is your home. that is your body. nothing they do can take that from you. if not for you, they probably would've kept breaking into tombs and disturbing restful lives without a second thought. you won't be repaid for your good, but i hope you know you are a saviour in your own right.
#tag games.#oc: dani#oc: diana#oc: tereza#oc: veronica#cool. flings myself off a cliff.#these are so accurate that i am just 🧍🏼 whadda hell man...#dani's makes me cry a lot cause i've literally said this. she just wanted to stop fighting. to just chill and rest. be away from all the#horror but then she had to get pulled back into it and involved because she couldn't just sit by and see more people get hurt... aughgguhg#doesn't consider herself a hero when she is one... augh. diana's oh man. first of all hilarious cause ''the wicked witch'' jokey nickname.#but yeah. oof. yeah. points at her whole upbringing and even some points during the whole ordeal with the organisation. and she did indeed#become the witch they all said she was. oughhgh. hi so name drops!!!! tereza is ofc donna's gf i think you caught onto that mayhaps idk. if#the romanian surname is anything to go by and the fact that i said in that lil picrew replies she has a fascination with death. but uh.#yeah. you know i was literally reading that result and went omg this is. mm. wow. okay then. and then that there are other people like you#augh. also funny that vampires. miss tall lady she works for in the castle who not technically a vampire but the aesthetic™️ love to see it#okay veronica's is v inchresting cause i have very little lore for her yet but that is sooooo i am piecing things together i am i am#also idk still not 100% on her surname but it's fine it's okay like those kinda vibes. you understand.

Do you think that the 82nd would love having omega around if she was in their base?
im sure that would happen with just about any kid that happens to sneak onboard! the 82nd (specifically those who were around when ahri was their general) arent as opposed to the idea of babysitting duty as others would think they’d be, and they’d do their best to keep the kid happy and safe.
buuuut a child is a child, i think night would be pretty persistent about finding a better longterm situation for them. a cold and dark flagship isnt exactly the best place for a kid after all. in the meantime tho i think they’d enjoy having a kid onboard!
