Ty @thesingularityseries for the tag 🫶

Alora:

1. “…Are you fucking stupid?”

2. “It’s a roach, not a fucking— it flies?!” Alora yells, hand forming into a fist.

3. Rolls her eyes and makes a gun gesture to her temple. “Sure it’s not like I’ve been awake for the past 3 days cleaning up your bullshit.”

4. “Alright well, I’m gonna go hang out with Michi now.”

5. “You are seriously a fucking stain on my sanity.”

6. “Oh fuck, my tomatoes!” Alora exclaims, sprinting towards her greenhouse.

7. “Yeah okay Mr. America.” She makes a jacking off motion with her hand, rolling her eyes heavily.

8. “¡Esto es una puta mierda! ¿Estás realmente bromeando? ¡Qué demonios—“

9. “You push and push and push. Just stop! Okay? Stop trying to force me to open up!”

10. “Get the hell out of my face before I break yours.”

11. “Sure whatever, I’ve got nothing better to do.” She follows Alex and Kate, mentally preparing herself for whatever comes her way.

12. “Not that one… Alex and I got banned last week.” She says nonchalantly, looking to Alex who nods in agreement.

13. “I just wanna go home…” She’s tired, so so tired…

14. She inhales deeply, smearing the blood on her face even more. “I fucked up.”

15. “Don’t leave me… please…” She was on the verge of tears, her jaw tight and body shaking.

Kasiya:

1. “Don’t be frightened, you are safe now.” She offers a kind smile, reassuring the new soul that just appeared.

2. “Raiden! So lovely to see you! Ah and Kung Lao!” She’s momentarily flustered, quickly displaying a grin. “What brings you two here?”

3. “…Excuse me for one moment please.” She turns and quickly walks away, bristling subtly at the off handed comment made by Cetrion.

4. “Mother this is wrong— why are you doing nothing to stop it?!”

5. “You are going to get me in trouble!” She laughs, allowing Kung Lao’s fingers to intertwine with hers to pull her along.

6. “My apologies but I am bound by my duty here in the garden. Now please…”

7. “Please do not stick your hands into my fytó stámnas, that is very rude.”

8. “You are really quite different from your counterpart…” She mutters, eyeing the monk up and down.

9. “Surely my nose cannot be that interesting Kung Lao.” She muses, her eyes following his finger as he traces down its length.

10. “Why do you sit back and do nothing? Shinnok is out there running rampant and—!” She’s silenced when Cetrion suddenly appears behind her, eyes glowing like vibrant jewels and oh so full of anger.

11. “I assure you I am much older than your mind could possibly fathom.”

12. “And you are still handsome even looking like battered meat.” She laughs softly, sniffling and leaning forward to cup a hand on his cheek.

13. “Thank you for allowing me to love you.”

14. “For the last time you two— no! Now stop pestering me, I have other people to take care of.”

15. “That must be absolutely the most cheesiest pick up line you have ever used on me and I am even more surprised that it’s working.”

[raiden-brannigan]

1, 2, and 3 for Raiden :D

1. Why do you like or dislike this character?

Ok my love for Raiden has Evolved over the years, when I got into MGS back when I was 13 it was almost entirely "oh fuckin hot cyborg guy with a sword whos just a complete badass" and while that's not an invalid reason to like a character a lot of the nuances of his tragedy never truly hit me until I got older and I'm like Oh I Know Now. Just his entire story of never truly having an identity and only ever being a tool for someone else and watching it break him down more and more until he eventually starts to find himself is so cool. Plus badass hot cyborg guy never hurts either tbh. Have you SEEN him flip a giant mech over his shoulder and the proceed to rip its arm off and fight it with its own machete limb like???? Tell me thats not the COOLEST shit ever

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

This kinda goes hand in hand with the first question but his story as a whole is so Fucked and tragic likeee watching the end of MGS2 where he throws away his dog tags and declares he's going to "find his own path" in life and live for himself only to see where he ends up in 4 and then watching him get his catharsis at the end of 4 only to be dragged into More Bullshit in Rising like from the moment he was born hes only ever been fucked by life and I'd give some "he keeps getting knocked down but gets back up again" speech but lets be real he was highkey suicidal in 4 LMAO I think the universe just needs to let that boy rest. I think I lost the question somewhere in here lmaoo tldr "favorite canon thing" just how absolutely tragic and miserable his entire life is, and how desperately he wants to just live a normal life with his family but he's been so deeply traumatized by the Everything (tm). Kojima went off with his anti-war metaphor when he made Raiden

3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?

Honestly this one is stumping me cause like I'm having a hard time thinking about something I dislike LMAO. At first I was like, maybe the way he treats Rose sometimes? But then I'm like, it works with the story and I wouldn't change any of it, even if he's kinda a piece of shit to her here and there it fits and I wouldn't say it's ooc? Then I was like, maybe how hamfisted the whole "ripper" thing was in Rising? But then I'm like, it 110% fits the tone of the game and it would NOT be the same if they didn't commit as earnestly as they did to the over the top insanity of everything that game is. It's dumb and excessively cheesy but that's what gives MGR so much of its charm and it for sure wouldn't be as loved and meme'd as it is today if they'd dialed it back lmao.

I don't know if I'd say this is a "canon" thing but I hate that we never got to see what happened to Raiden between 2 and 4. MGS:R was supposed to bridge that gap and it was such a huge important piece to his story that we're only ever told about and I feel like it loses some of it's impact when we don't get to see any of it. Raiden goes from the way he is in 2 to this complete character change in 4 and we just have to hear about what happened when it irreversibly changed his character from that point onward (it's not a bad change, I wouldn't wish it were any different, I just wish we got to experience it)

(Send me a character and a number!)

#sorry this took so long I was genuinely sitting here struggling on that last question LMAO #mgs #raiden #ask

Find Five Lines tag

@kaylinalexanderbooks and @jezifster tagged me in this so let's do it.

Rules: find any lines in your WIP that fit each parameter given by the person who tagged you. Then change one of the parameters and tag five or more people. Can be lines from multiple WIPs. If you can't find a line that fits, feel free to change the prompt.

A line about a weapon

We wait a few minutes sitting there, my biggest fear is this woman coming back and seeing us, her targets. Should I run? Or will she be faster? Does she have a gun? Should I sacrifice myself? Do I let my friend and girlfriend go first? Do I run away and hope that Noe and Danae survive? This is the game of who will run the fastest.

A passionate line

"-Then you can stick your fingers up your ass! There's no way I'm hanging around a cult just because two women were murdered!

- We're the ones who'll be killed if we don't neutralise it!

- So I'm supposed to risk MY life because of your bullshit?

- Our bullshit? You've got to be kidding me!"

(Not sure if it's passionate at all but it's the only thing I could find at the moment) (It's Dan and Madhi talking btw)

A line with taste

"I've tasted better"

(They were eating ice cream or something and you're getting one sentence because the sentence is from the 2nd chapter which I don't like anymore)

A line that is screamed

"What the hell are you doing?! my girlfriend yells.

I didn't take the time to reply and kept on walking. Noe shouted my name and that's when I noticed the headlights of a car coming towards me.

A funny line

"It's not part of our trip and my paycheck at Mcdo isn't going to pay for it!"

(not funny but again, don't wanna spend 2 hours looking for one funny sentence)

Change passionate to heart-breaking

WIP Wednesday

@maddenedroses tagged me for this a bit ago so here's some of the MK9 Johnny x Kung Lao fic I've been working on! <3

No sensitive content in this one! (beyond some casual alcohol consumption)

No pressure tags: @c-nan @bi-force-1 and anyone else who wants to :)

Johnny knew he should really be getting some rest at this point. It had already been well past dark by the time the first rounds of the tournament had started. Now it was even later, and Shang Tsung's announcement of the tournament resuming at dawn was still ringing in Johnny's head. He had followed Sonya to the bridge on the south side of the island, but now that he had left her to her business, he would have to trek all the way back to the main palace on the north side, where the combatants and guests had been provided rooms.

As he was walking off the bridge, however, a lone figure caught his eye — a man sitting under a tree in the lower courtyard. Johnny's curiosity got the better of him, and he found himself walking that way. The man wore a wide brimmed hat and appeared to be one of Shang Tsung's guards, judging by his clothes and the helmet on the ground next to him. As Johnny walked up behind him, he noticed a flask in his hand.

"Didn't know Shang Tsung let his guards drink on the job," Johnny said.

The man must have heard him approach. He seemed unsurprised and only partially turned his head to reply. "He doesn't."

Johnny smiled. "Alright if I join you?" he asked, already settling down next to him.

"Only if you do not mind sharing a flask," he replied, giving said flask a small shake.

"I don't mind if you don't." He held out a hand expectantly. "I don't have cooties — promise."

Johnny was able to get a good look at the man now as he handed him the bamboo flask. He had a soft, round face — grown, but clearly still young — and a dimple graced his right cheek as he smiled warmly at Johnny. His straight dark hair was short and, upon closer examination, sloppily cut, as if someone had just recently hacked at it with a knife. This did nothing to take away from the fact that Johnny found him very, very cute.

"The name's Johnny Cage, by the way," he said.

"Kung Lao."

Johnny nodded and distracted himself from staring at Cute Lao by taking a sip from the flask. It proved to be a good distraction indeed. The drink was unlike any Johnny had had before — spicy and vinegary, with just a hint of caramel.

"Woah, what is this?"

Kung Lao grinned as Johnny took another drink. "Yuanhongjiu. My Shaolin Master has always said that Earthrealm's rice wine puts Outworld's liquor to shame."

Johnny handed the flask back to Lao. "Again with the realm stuff! You sound like Raiden and his little purse dog."

Kung Lao snorted and almost choked on his drink, but then seemed to realize something.

"You know Raiden and Liu Kang?" he asked nervously.

"Yeah! I met 'em right after the last round of the tournament tonight. Came up to me and started talking about all this Earthrealm and Outworld crap. I thought it was bullshit, but… now I'm not so sure. Why do you ask?"

"No reason," he lied, "but, uh, if you happen to run into them again, I would appreciate if you did not mention our meeting here."

Johnny raised an eyebrow. "And why is that, exactly?"

Lao grimaced and rubbed the back of his neck. "I may have snuck onto the island and disguised myself as a guard without the Shaolin's knowledge… or permission."

"Wait, what? Why?"

The expression on Lao's face told Johnny that this was a sore and very familiar subject. "Liu Kang was chosen to represent the Shaolin in the tournament, but I am just as worthy of being here as he is!" He crossed his arms. "In every way we are equals, but no one can see past the fact that he is Raiden's 'Chosen One'."

Johnny laughed and plucked the flask from his hand, uncapping it. "Well, sorry to break it to you, Kung Pao, but, Liu Kang or no Liu Kang, it looks like you put all that work in just to get your ass handed to you by yours truly," he said, punctuating the statement by pointing to himself with his thumb.

"The name is Kung Lao." He scowled and snatched the rice wine back before Johnny could take a sip, his brow furrowed and nose scrunched in a way that was almost cute enough to make up for it. "And what makes you think you can beat me?"

"Um, hello?" he said. "Have you seen my movies? I do all my own stunts. I'm Johnny Cage! I'm only the best fighter in Hollywood."

"Funny." Lao smirked. "I have never heard of you."

That wiped the smile right off Johnny's face. He rose to his feet. "Alright, tough guy, you think you're such hot shit? How about we hold ourselves a little exhibition match right now?" He crossed his arms, cockiness returning. "Especially since, you know, you're technically not even in the tournament."

Lao stood to face him. He was a bit shorter than Johnny, but held his ground as if he were a foot taller. "Glady," he said. "The dojo should be empty this time of night. How about we spar there?"

"Lead the way."

Lao grabbed his things and began walking north, with Johnny trailing behind. It was only a minute or two until they reached the dojo.

As Lao entered, he slipped off the loose uniform robes he wore over his regular clothes. Johnny's eyes were drawn to the bare skin peeking out from the sides of his sleeveless shirt and the way his toned arms flexed as he put his hat on and quickly ran his finger along the metal brim.

Not one to be shown up, Johnny took off his suit jacket and hung it on the arm of a nearby mu ren zhuang. He'd been feeling overdressed for a martial arts tournament anyways.

Kung Lao went to the left side of the room, assuming a surprisingly still and steady Wing Chun stance. Johnny got into his own fighting position on the right: fists up by his sides and constantly bouncing on the balls of his feet.

Kung Lao took in the sight and smiled.

"Your stance reminds me of Liu Kang's," he said.

Johnny raised an eyebrow, but grinned back. "Does that mean I'm chosen one material?"

Kung Lao whipped off his hat and threw it at Johnny. As it flew through the air, it's path curved so that it sailed harmlessly around him. Before Johnny even had a chance to mock him, however, he was swiftly swept off his feet and slammed to the ground. Somehow, Lao had appeared behind him.

"It means I know exactly how to beat you."

Zionism* is not inherently evil and anti-Zionism is (most of the time) just anti-Semitism

Recently I've been mourning pre iradori kazuscara and what the ship was like then, with all the inaccurate lore and speculation. Like I've been really missing it but also happy about how kazuscara developed in the fandom (mostly recently with scara's lore and story and redemption) so I was thinking: Why not look at some older Kazuscara fics? Stuff that was written before iradori happened. Then I remembered a fic that seemed to be really popular that I have started reading before but dropped for some reason. I decided to give it another chance and damn do I not regret it. If you want to satisfy your og kazuscara needs like me you should definetly read

Vent below if you like liu kang this post isn't for you. This is basically an anti liu kang and really angry post.

Giving y'all a warning.

Again DNI if you like liu kang or "stan" him. Or are a fire god liu kang fan. Because this post isn't for you.

Like I'm giving a warning for a reason because im not gonna be nice rn. I choose violence today ok?

Trying to cite warnings and tag this so people don't get up in arms. (Which they may anyways but hey thats on them if they click further)

Cw:vent,angry admin.

Last warning. If you like liu kang. Plz for the love of god dni and keep scrolling. But if you dont like him. And especially hate fire god liu kang. Plz Continue.

Vent below cut

If you like or stan liu kang but more so mk12/mk1 god *redacted titans derogatory* liu kang.

Kick rocks. He's an asshole. Have a nice die liu kang. 💀🗑⚰

Nah. You can miss me with that. Liu kang deserves nothing but death and suffering. In fact everyone BUT shang tsung deserves it.

Nah if yall would have gave shang something actually decent,livable,love and care,maybe a fucking decent friend that wasn't a previous roster member?,etc. None of this would be a problem. But nope. Liu kang had to be a petty whore bitch with bias agenda. Could have made him evil and made him like dark raiden. But nope you had to make him insufferable and unlikable.

Like a guy who hides behind the im nice,till you disagree or reject his ideals and suddenly you're gaslighted and given shit. Omg much like religious indoctrination. How interesting. But they dont wanna talk about that.

People don't wanna talk about how shitty the writing is. But people don't care so as long as the characters are pretty and fuckable enough. But the more things change the more they stay the same i guess.

Everytime i see mk12/mk1 liu kang i wanna spit on him and punch him and set him on fire and just want him dead and gone for good. Because i fucking hate him. I have never hated even kronika this bad,more so i felt she was a waste of potential, and redundant af. Nah He deserves die.

Like go to Super hell liu kang. Piss off with your shitty fanfic Timeline. Loser bitch ass hiding behind a fake ass smile and preaching peace. Peace my ass. Shit happened anyways. Makes fucking shinnok look like a fucking saint sweetheart in comparison.

Like im not even joking. I don't even care about his reasons. I dont even care what canon says. Or these fucking mk1 liu kang fans say anymore. Im tired.

Which we all know it's because he has weird hang ups over kitana when he could have just fucking left,said fuck it and married her anyways. She would have said yes. But he had to be weird about it,roundabout af,and make everyone suffer because he couldn't get edanian pussy.

Or it's because maybe he thinks he can do better than raiden. The arrogant prick. Nah that god dilf raised you and you give him this shit?! After all he went through?! Thi s is the thanks you give him?! Liu kang im not just disappointed in you im disappointed in the fact raiden didn't kill you off when he had the chance when he went dark. Would've Saved us a shitty game and a half.

Like liu kang did all the things and still had bad things if not worse things. Happen. Preaching peace and prosperity my ass. Fake ass ugly ass hoebag bitch. I hope he chokes on his spit in his sleep. I hope sand get in his ass and never comes out. I hope he dies from this bullshit lame tarkat disease and gets ultra mega plague. I just fucking hate it man.

The villains are lame. The story is lame. Liu kangs fanfic is lame. And nrs is lame.

I'd rather deal with the shitty 2021 movie than this shit. I'd rather deal with shitty writing in mk11 than this. Fr. At least it's entertaining shit.

And shang tsung isn't a fucking dumpster fire in the story. Shao kahn while a meathead is still terrifying. Quan chi isn't there but in 10 he was fucking beeeeeast. Shinnok. Poor shinnok. You deserve better. Cetrion was a waste. Kronika too. Geras was actually scary,but now he's a tool.

Legitimately the gameplay is just juggle better,gimmicky kameos bullshit,and same ol crap different wrapper.

Mk12/mk1? More like mk11.5 . Nothing changes thats worth the money.

I can find better shit on emulators.

Graphics aside what does the new game really truly have to offer? Nothing.

Wishful thinking. Like a bag of lays chips but unlike potato chips which is useful. This game sadly. Is not.

(Liu kang is only valid if he's from the 95 movie thats it. Fuck every other version. But even then it's thin ice at this point. Nrs has ruined liu kang for me.)

So yeah kick rocks liu kang. I hate liu kang and anyone who stans his ass rn in the story and the new game can fuck right off.

#vent #mortal kombat #this is a Liu kang hate post so dni if you like him #but more so if you like mk12/mk1 liu kang #cw vent #cw: vent #admin in not nice today #admin is not nice to liu kang rn #all this potential....wasted

I DONT REMBER WHICH ONES YOUVE ALREADY ANSWERED BUT 7, 9, 10, 12, 16

answered 9 and 10 here!

7. what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them? hmm. you know i'm not actually sure i've ever grown to HATE a character just because of fandom. i do have a very complicated relationship with otacon and eva (fake) these days though

WAIT. PAZ. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT COUNTS AS HATE BUT THE WAY THE FANDOM ACTS ABOUT HER MAKES ME PRETEND SHE DOESN'T EXIST AT ALL 12. the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them

raikov DUH. the original international man of mystery! i have a whole eva theory tag for a reason and it's because even in canon there's clearly more to him than meets the eye! 16. you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)

i can't understand why ANYONE likes volgin and i can't understand why people like any raiden ships ever but those are obvious so hmmm

i can't understand why people like the whole 'jupiter family' thing so much i think it's complete bullshit and snake does NOT deserve to be treated like sunny's family after how he acts with her. like he's just cruel to her.

i can't understand why people like solid snake at all, actually. he bullies a child and he's a creep towards multiple women in multiple games and he's just a jackass overall, ive literally seen every game he's in and each one just made me dislike him more and more. i know he's one of the protagonists but he sucks. be a raiden fan instead

other genshin fic recs here genshin fic recs by pairing here personal favorites are starred, by the way. everything is complete unless stated otherwise.

kazuha and friends

The Sounds of Nature (the world through your eyes) by jello12451 (~5k)

“What colour are your eyes?”

Kazuha tilts his head from where he had been sitting on the rock, meditating. “And what prompted this question, Traveler?”

“Ah, I don’t know…” Aether mumbles before answering. “It’s just that the eyes of vision bearers are so peculiar in this world.”

Kazuha hums, noncommittal. They sit in the quietness of nature before he speaks again.

“I would say that I don’t remember.” Kazuha says, a tinge of sadness in his words. “But Tomo would always say that they were like the brightest reds of the maple leaves.”

OR: In which Kazuha is blinded while escaping Tenshukaku with his friend’s vision, and the way his senses have always influenced his life slowly become known (along with a few new family members and friends to go with).

thoma and ayaka

what is taken from us, and what we leave behind by Korora8 (~2k)

Head bowed, wrists chafed, Vision burning against his side, Thoma knelt in front of the Statue of the Omnipresent God.

He had seen those who had had their Vision stripped from them, empty husks of people who would never again remember their ambitions, hopes and dreams.

His biggest fear was what memories would be taken from him along with his Vision.

My ambitions…

My ambitions have been long intertwined with yours, my Lady.

Forgive me, Ayaka.

thoma and ayaka. it’s really short, but it broke my heart :(

shenhe and xingqiu

Tea for Three by BeyondTheClouds777 (~2k)

[She lets down the seal of her abode, bringing one hand between her eyes while the sigils shine.

Then she meets eyes with the mortal, and the sigils die in her hands.

It’s that boy, Xingqiu, the one hanging around (and off of) Chongyun just about every time Shenhe sees him. Usually put-together, from a wealthy and well-off family who trains him in fine mannerisms and artsmanship and every kind of elegance. But he’s scared, now, and he looks at her pleading, hair tousled and filthy and bloody, and he’s clinging to—

Chongyun.]

Shenhe might sort of maybe kind of still-figuring-it-out have a soft spot for more than just her nephew.

includes shenhe and xingiu bonding. mostly family feels and hurt/comfort. it isn’t tagged as a ship fic, but xingqiu and chongyun could be read as platonic or romantic.

zhongli

*my faceless self, alone by recursion (~7k)

[There is one lone glaze lily left, shining brilliant blue in the depths of Dihua Marsh. Zhongli kneels over it as Xiao looks on.

“The contract is fulfilled,” he whispers. He takes his mask off with trembling fingers and sets it aside. The blood that stains it seeps into the ground, turning it rust-red. “That which thou seeketh is now bestowed unto thee, for my promise is solid as stone.”]

(Zhongli, in the before and after.)

technically it’s tagged childe / zhongli but it’s really more of a character study of zhongli.

venti | barbados and raiden ei

More than Skin Deep by Ford_Ye_Fiji (~2.5k)

Lumine reaches out and invites the Raiden Shogun along on her travels.

She forgets to mention that the anemo archon is coming along.

got tagged by @sometimes-i-talk-a-lot !!!

no idea who to tag so feel free to do it

im not sure youre axtually supposed to talk about them a lot but i did start rambling on with most of them so its going under the read more

kakyoin from jojo's bizarre adventure - the funny gamer man :). i like how i managed to read/watch all of jojo but he still managed to be my favorite through it all. his backstory was just really relatable to me i guess.

Patches from the soulsborne games - hes just kind of a huge asshole everytime you meet but something about hearing his voice after he kicks you down a pit for the 10th time. A lot of it probably comes from his voice actor. he really sounds like hes enjoying himself every time he gets to voice him.

ichiban kasuga from yakuza like a dragon - hes just a very loveable guy. everything from the way he talks with his friends to the way he talks with everyday people makes him just easy to fall in love with. Its also nice seeing how despite what he goes through he still keeps his friendly personality

lady from devil may cry - shes really cool and i like her character a lot. her arc in the 3rd game is just really satisfying to follow from beginning to end. she doesnt get much in terms of story in 4 or 5 but i feel like her character is fine how she is and adding more would kinda take away from it. she did get a nice little moment in 5 though which i liked. Also its nice to know that in a series where all the other fighters have some form of demonic powers she is 100% human. And please capcom make her playable in 5!!!!!

Raiden from metal gear - My favorite boy whos been through so so much. I cant really talk about how i like him since that would mostly involve spoilers and would also make up multiple pages. In 2 i just like the way he develops throughout the story and how he finds meaning by the end. Hes also the protag of one of my favorite games metal gear rising revengance. Despite the over the top nature of the game i still think they did his character justice and its a nice extension of the story of 2 (though nothing compares to that imo)

Sans from undertale - Despite everything i still really like undertale, its world and its characters. And the funny bone man managed to still be my fav. His jokes and his mysterious nature all makes him really likable to me. His fight is pretty enjoyable too. also hes a skeleton so theres that.

Samus from Metroid - Basically everything i wish i was. Shes cool, strong and she still manages all of this without saying a whole lot. I especially like her body language in dread. pls just ignore how she is in other m....

Tienshinhan from dragon ball - this ones mostly an old favorite. he was my favorite charcater when i watched it as a kid and he still is. He just seemed really cool everytime he appeared. Still think its bullshit how he isnt considered the strongest human -3-

Bridget from guilty gear - this ones a very recent fav. i never really knew anything about her before she appeared in strive but she definitely made an impact on me. Something about seeing a trans girl accepting herself in a mainstream videogame just makes me really happy. Also her theme song is soooo good and is soooo relatable to me. Like yeah i also hate the alarm clock i chose and i also taste like vegetables i dont like. 😭

Aqua from kingdom hearts - Shes one of the more competend characters in the series. She isnt without flaws or anything but she definitely gets shit done when she wants to. Her fighting style is also really nice. And of course she has blue hair and pronouns 🙄

#mary me #text dot text #also i got sad thinking about some of them....

[thekombatantsloveyou]

Kontestants choice of date with you 💖

includes kabal, fujin, cassie, shang tsung, raiden, skarlet, kano, and hanzo

Kabal: One word.. glamping. He very well could be an outdoorsy kind of guy, sure, but the black dragon has spoiled his ass. He's just enough of a diva to ditch the tent and sleep in the car with the seats folded to the front instead. He may or may not have checked the temperature and picked one of the coldest nights just for an excuse to cuddle up with you. It's honestly pretty nice though. He picks the fluffiest comforter, has a laptop and portable chargers. You can even turn on the car radio while you stay up playing some silly get to know me game like Never Have I Ever.

Fujin: Museum or art gallery. Naturally he knows a lot of Earthrealm's history both with his age and his status as it's protector. Still, all the different rich cultures are gorgeous and something to be celebrated he thinks. He especially enjoys the more ambiguous pieces that are left up to interpretation. It's something that challenges him, to try and think from a mortal perspective. He would love to hold your hand and casually walk around, studying different artifacts or paintings. You can see his eyes glistening with adoration for all Earthrealmers and you can tell he loves you and your home so deeply.

Cassie: An arcade. Even better if it's in a mall so you two can hit up the food court afterwards. Who doesn't love the patterned 80's-esq carpets and the smell of sweat coming from the laser tag room? You don't have to do physical games like that, but she'd prefer to stay away from the boring game machines like plinko. Cassie will probably drag you to play DDR or one of those multiplayer shooting games that's in those little curtained boxes. Hopefully the two of you can get enough tickets for a prize, if not she's happy to have spent the day with you anyways! Bonus points if there's a photobooth you two can go in and take cheesey polaroids with. Double bonus if you won something from a claw machine that can participate in the photos too.

Shang Tsung: There's a lot to explore on his island before you even step foot outside of it. One thing you get to see, that most others will never, is a hidden library. Mainly consisting of philosophy, hedonism, nihilism, and controversial books. If you're familiar with your literature he quizzes you, eager to teach you that of which you didn't already know. Regardless, Shang Tsung will sit with you and cockily go over the knowledge he has of these and their significance to the mortal race his own interpretation. He's really smart actually, more than he's given credit for.

Raiden: An opera. Yeah, he's an old man so I'm not gonna say you two are gonna be out roller skating or anything like that. Raiden's almost always stoic, so it takes you by surprise to see him grinning down at the stage with such delight. For a moment in time he feels like he's in a different world, a world where the realms are harmonious. With you by his side everything feels just right. When the lights dim between scenes and nobody can see, he'll steal a quick kiss from you. It's probably just on the cheek as he isn't too crazy about PDA, but still. It's a lot from him and he hopes it can convey how he feels.

Skarlet: An old cemetery. A bit on the nose, but it's the only place the scent of blood isn't insanely overwhelming to her. However, this also leaves you in a very vulnerable position as the only living person around. You have to trust her completely to be with her here and she's completely aware of this. Skarlet isn't the type to play games or bullshit with someone she genuinely likes, and it's possible for her to even bring up that trust you have for her in conversation.

Kano: The fight club. I know it's not exactly a date as much as it is his work place, but he doesn't feel the need to have to go out for a night to be special. In fact, most times you have fancy dates it's because you planned the outing. Kano wants to sit and watch the fighting cage with you on his lap. He's cocky too, yelling at the fighters from above where you sit. He's got a hand supporting your back and the other inappropriately placed on your thigh. It makes him feel like the motherfucking KING when you guys are like this together. You're practically unstoppable here and he couldn't love it more.

Hanzo Hasashi: Cooking dinner together at home. Making recipes that have existed in your families for generations ends up being a really intimate experience. Neither of you would share these with any old person and it's a sign of trust for you both. You're off to the side cooking your dish and he keeps peeking at it to try and guess what it could be. If you want to work together then he'll help you cook his dish by standing behind you and letting you rest your hands on his. Technically he's doing all the work but it's still enjoyable for you two regardless. What you end up making is up to you! Will there be a dessert as well?

First line

@envydeanwrites Thank you for the tag love <3 Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20, just list them all!). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favorite opening line. Then tag 10 of your favorite authors! (All Destiel) 1.  Dean exhales softly as the sack is removed from his head. The light emanating from the naked lightbulb is harsh and he blinks several times as his eyes adjust. Something hard is invading his mouth, making it impossible to speak. Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? 2.  You thought if you handed over your body he’d do something interesting.   But it was the same old. Something interesting

3.  The path to love may have been anything but straight but now that Dean finally has Castiel he's not letting him go. They do mundane things together, like Castiel making him coffee in the mornings, going through lore books in the library, or playing Scrabble.Dean has read somewhere that love is transformative, divine, or some bullshit like that, and he's always rolled his eyes at that. Grace

4.  Dean has been a hunter too fucking long to ignore his instincts.  And even though the monster hunting is way less intense these days, he still listens to his gut. And his gut is telling him something is up. Mother Superior 5.  Dean remembered the last time, and while he'd been proud of his achievement, the timing really hadn't been great. He'd not been in the right headspace – how could he – with Chuck the cosmic dickbag breathing down their necks but this time was different.He glanced at Cas. Everything was different. Fourth Birthday

6,  Castiel had been in many less than desirable situations, some of them could best be described as embarrassing, especially for a warrior of the Lord but this had to take the prize. Although much had happened since Castiel yanked the righteous man out of Hell – meeting Dean Winchester had altered the trajectory of his life completely – this was a first. Castiel was knee-deep into shit. Soil 7.  Dean finds the box three weeks after moving in. He hasn't been avoiding the attic, it's just that he didn't have any reason to be up there after storing away the last two boxes that contained his art supplies. A box is a box is unorthodox 8. I love you. Dean presses rewind. I love you. Six months 9.  Not all angels were in the fiery depths of Hell trying to save the Righteous Man. Some had to stay back on Earth and keep their eyes on the humans. Salathiel was one of those, living a quiet suburban life in a small town in Mississippi. The Infinite Eyes Perceive 10.  The windmill stands tall Meadow (a haiku) 11.  Dean knows it's the right spot as soon as he sees it. The windmill is old, had stood there for so long that nature has reclaimed it. Long vines make their way upwards, climbing as if trying to reach the stars. The Meadow 12.  There's something about the air, Dean thinks. He inhales deeply and can almost taste it; the salt settles on his lips and invites him to take another breath, encouraging him to try and quench something that seems insatiable. Lull 13.  Dean opens the church doors slowly, not wanting to disturb anyone that might still be praying. Outside, night shrouds the city but the many lit candles inside the church cast a warm and welcoming glow, trying hard to banish the darkness. Dean knows from experience though that darkness is usually found inside. Kenosis 14. Dean crosses his arms. “I don't know.” Castiel looks at Dean, a smile playing on his lips and that could've been innocent but Dean doesn't miss the glint in his eyes. Prompts: Adventure 15.  The first time it happens, Dean isn't even aware that it is happening. It's not his fault that Cas wears his shirt sleeves rolled up; it's a fucking invitation for Dean to trail his fingers up Cas' strong arms. On the way down, he uses his nails and rakes marks on his skin; red welts that'll vanish as soon as they appear but the sounds Cas make are ones of pure lust. The Destiel Disasters: Interruptions or when Sam sees too much 16.  It's quiet. Dean eases into the black leather armchair that's backed up in one corner of the library. He takes a pull on his beer and puts it down on the small table next to him.  The Bunker 17. “Do you want me?” Cas' voice is a growl but still, he's restraining himself. He touches Dean, always, but Dean wants more. He'd laugh at Cas' question if he wasn't busy being destroyed with want. Veneration 18. Cas entered the kitchen on heavy legs. He was still not used to how much sleep he needed but he couldn't deny that sleeping had its charm. Waking up next to Dean, tightening his hold around him and nuzzling close to his neck, inhaling that scent that was all him, that alone was worth all the hours of sleep. Their Love Was Real 19. Dean took Cas' hand and grinned before kissing his knuckles. “It's Sunday. You know what that means?” Johnson 20. Dean has been on edge all day. Scratch that, he'd been on edge for days. First, they'd been all the way to Asheville to dust not one, not two, but three damn vampire nests. The Lesson I notice I start a lot of fics with Dean lol, besides that I write long sentences but try and wary the length I think. My fav opening lines are from Kenosis I think, it really sets the mood for the entire fic.  I’m tagging just a bunch of people I <3 Feel free to join. @deans-jiggly-pudding @raidens-realm @anastiel @helianthus21 @kingdumbass @ltleflrt @nickelkeep @lotrspnfangirl @wanderingcas @thegertie

Invisible String Chapter One: I (Almost) Forgot You Existed

Chapter One is here! The title of the story and chapter are both inspired by Taylor Swift and her album songs. 

Tag Squad: @snowcoldfrost @wrasslin-kpop-and-bullshit

“Honey, I’m home!” Billy Maximoff-Altman looked up, smiling as his husband, Teddy Altman-Maximoff walked in after a long day of work.  

“Papa! Papa you’re home!” Their daughter, Katherine ‘Kate’ Maximoff-Altman, squealed as she ran in. Teddy smiled, dropping his bag and kneeling down as she ran into his arms. 

“Hey Katie, how are you sweetheart?” He asked, gently tweaking her nose. 

“Papa!” Kate squealed with laughter. Teddy smiled and kissed her head, “Where’s your brother?”

“Daddy! Can you help me!” Kate’s twin, Eli, called from upstairs. 

“I’ll go get him,” Billy laughed and climbed the stairs. Teddy smiled and set Kate down, the four year old little girl running off. A knock at the door caught Teddy’s attention and he pulled it open. 

Standing in the doorway as a young man around Teddy’s age with bright, fiery red hair and crystal clear blue eyes. He was dressed sharply in an army uniform, and looked familiar to Teddy. 

“Oh. Hey. Uh….” Teddy wracked his brain, unable to remember this man’s name. The man gave Teddy a quizzical look. 

“You okay Teddy?” He asked. 

“I’m fine…..James,” Teddy said, managing to read the name off of James’s uniform. The moment the name came out of Teddy’s mouth, the memories that weren’t there hit like a train. 

The man was James Rogers, a long time friend of him and Billy, with James’s wife Skarlet being Billy’s best friend. Their daughter, Mia, was a few years older than Kate and Eli but acted a lot like a cousin to the two younger kids. 

“Skar wanted me to drop by, see if you and the others will be over for dinner. Liu and Kitana will be there with their kids, as will Dylan and Lucian with Nitira,” James said. Teddy nodded, “Of course.” James grinned. 

“Great, I’ll see you tonight then?” He said. Teddy nodded, “Yeah. I’ll see you tonight.” James grinned even wider at that, giving Teddy a slight salute before jogging off. A crash from the kitchen brought Teddy out of his thoughts and he shook his head, smiling fondly as he went to see what trouble his daughter had gotten into. 

———————————————————————

Later that day, Billy and Teddy bundled their twins into their car seats and headed off to the Rogers-Johnson residence. Billy sat in the passenger seat, Teddy doing the driving. 

“I wonder what Skar made for dinner,” Billy mused. Teddy shrugged, “No clue. I’m just glad we’ll have a chance to see her. She’s probably super busy, being a nurse and all.”

“True,” Billy laughed, “I’m just glad she has recommended patients to me.” Skarlet was a nurse while Billy was a therapist, Teddy worked at the Outworld Fitness gym alongside Skarlet’s half-brother Liu Kang Johnson. 

“How was gym, Papa?” Eli called from his car seat in the back. 

“It was fun, Eli,” Teddy replied, “Your Uncle Liu and I had a lot of fun helping people work out.” Billy shook his head fondly as Teddy pulled up to James and Skarlet’s house, parking. The two adults got out and got the kids out, placing them onto the driveway but each taking a hand firmly. 

“Now remember, we don’t run away from Daddy and Papa or go to the street without telling us,” Billy reminded his kids. The two young children nodded as Billy and Teddy walked up to the front door. 

“Can I ring the bell?” Kate asked. 

“Sure,” Teddy said with a chuckle. Kate beamed brightly and stood up on her tippy-toes, pushing the doorbell with some effort. There was a brief moment of nothing before the door opened, James standing there, this time dressed much more casually with jeans and a t-shirt. 

“Unca James!” Eli said happily, running to his uncle. 

“Hey Bud,” James smiled and easily lifted the kid into a hug. Kate, meanwhile, hid slightly behind Teddy’s leg and waved shyly instead. 

“Hey James,” Billy grinned at his friend. 

“Hey guys. Come in, come in. Skar’s in the backyard with Liu, Kitana, and the kids,” James said, opening the door more to let the small group in. They went inside, James leading them to the backyard. 

Skarlet Johnson-Rogers sat in a chair in the backyard while her and James’s daughter, Mia, climbed on their jungle gym. Near Skarlet sat Liu Kang and Kitana Okaia-Morse along with their two year old twins, Bobbie and Jackie. 

“Hey Skar, look who trudged on in,” James called. Skarlet looked up, a smile brightening her face. 

“Billy, Teddy, you made it!” She said happily. Billy smiled at his friend, taking a seat next to her. 

“Yeah, I couldn’t say no to a party like this,” he said. James set down Eli, who ran off to play in the jungle gym with Kate on his heels. Teddy sat between Billy and Kitana. 

“Hey Teddy, long time no see,” Kitana joked. Kitana’s family owned Outworld Fitness gym, which was opened by her great grandfather, Raiden, and stayed in the family. The current owner was her grandfather, Kenshi, a retired cop with Kitana being a manager for it. 

“Yeah, a few hours is pretty long,” Teddy laughed. Kitana grinned at him while Jackie waved from his mother’s lap. 

“Hi Unca Teddy,” he said quietly. Teddy grinned, “Hey Jackie, how’re you doing?” 

“Good,” Jackie said, pulling his thumb into his mouth. Kitana stroked her son’s hair. Liu looked past his girlfriend and at Teddy. 

“Hey Teddy,” he grinned. 

“Hey Liu, everything good after I left?” The blonde haired young man asked. Liu nodded, “Of course.”

“Good,” Teddy smiled as Bobbie poked Liu. 

“Papa, can I go pway wit Mia n Ewi n Kate?” She pouted. Liu chuckled and set his daughter down, watching as she ran off to the jungle gym. 

—————————————————————————————

“Dammit, how the hell did you let this happen!” Carol Danvers yelled. At the Avenger’s mansion, the unconscious bodies of the Young Avengers along with Dylan Morse-Slade and Lucian Lokison laid in beds. 

“We didn’t let this happen, we don’t know how it happened,” Natasha Romanoff said annoyedly. 

“You are supposed to be in charge of them, if I was in charge none of this would have happened!” Carol yelled. Natasha scoffed softly, stepping toe-to-toe with the former Captain Marvel. 

“You listen here and listen closely. Teddy is an adult, all of them are. They made this choice for the mission and there is nothing that any of us could have done to stop them. And remember, my son is unconscious too, and unlike you I actually care about him,” the Black Widow said, her tone full of malice. Carol glared at her before huffing and stalking off.
