What.. Do you think Sonya and Kenshi's relationship would be like 👂

Okay this one has me thinking-

Sonya and Kenshi, compared to their respective partners, are quite reserved. Though they both have an attitude problem and I can see them bickering a lot, but not to the extent that they do with Johnny or Suchin (it’s playful bickering but bickering nonetheless). I can see them easily losing track of time by talking to each other or simply resting side to side in silence.

As for conflicts, I feel as if their stubbornness would be a big issue. In getting together and communicating. I do feel like Kenshi would be the more understanding of the two despite his pride. Their combined impulsiveness is also a problem and I imagine them to argue about that. Kenshi being a wanderer and freelance spy (idk how to word what Kenshi does 😭) and Sonya being content in one place leads to them not seeing each other for periods of time.

As for them getting together 😈 it was Sonya who made the first move, though it wasn’t with romantic intent in the beginning. Sonya being the coffee shop fanatic she is (personal headcanon) asked Kenshi to meet her at her favorite one to work on a joint case, something she does occasionally to relax while still getting work done. He accepts and they meet there several times before finishing the case.

It becomes a tradition for them to go to said coffee shop whenever they get joint cases. And one day Kenshi comes into office and notices that Sonya’s having a bad day and brings her a coffee from there, having memorized her order long ago. He starts to do this when they don’t have joint cases and one day she, somewhat awkwardly, invites him to get coffe with her outside of work and things evolve from there 🤭

I’m not sure how Takeda would react but considering his telepathic abilities he’s not having a good time (he already has to deal with subscorp why his bio dad too 😔 I do think he’d be reluctantly happy for them though). Cassie goes through the 5 stages of grief after the announcement before deciding, yeah, Kenshi’s pretty chill and her mom deserves to be happy. I don’t think she’d ever call him anything relating to dad but rather uncle or something.

Cassie does has some resentment over the fact that her parents won’t ever be together but she doesn’t want to cause drama. Johnny’s conflicted about the whole thing as he still loves Sonya and had been getting closer to Kenshi the past few years but he’s also happy for them and is loud about it.

(There is kencageblade potential here 👀 if we want to go that route)

#sorry this took so long to answer it got buried under requests #and I had to think on it since I never really thought about it in depth #I did enjoy this tho 🤭 #kenshi takahashi #sonya blade #sonshi #swordblade #I feel as we as a fandom need to decide on a proper ship name 😭 idk what I’m doinggg #mortal kombat #mortal kombat x #mkx #mortal kombat headcanons #non art post #I might fic this 🫵 but don’t quote me on that

it's not always going to make sense, and it's going to be hard, and the way that you feel her push through your ribs will make the rest of you ravenous. you will be standing in your tiny kitchen looking down at your feet and the loneliness will spray in buckshot over your whole life until you are a crimescene and you will still have to remember to get groceries. you will think about her hair, the wheat, how she has stained your life in yellow, and how before her you were almost-happy but now somehow you are starving. you will think of her weight in your hands and over your skin and her impossible grin. you will want to force your entire fist into your hand and bite down, but you won't, because you're an adult, and you only cry at funerals. so much of her reminds you of fire; the shock of her hair and the swordblade of her laughter - so you sigh and drink water instead. you have emails to send around the shape of her. you have chores to do that avoid remembering the last time she held you. you have to take the trash out and avoid the sensation that she is hanging in the air, all that desire in the back of your throat. you will have to apologize to your dog. i promise. i'm trying. the way you want her is almost reverent, an amber crescent. she has annexed the whole apartment, has made her way under your fingernails. and yet you still have to pay rent. you still have to pay bills.

Ikemen Prince | Chevalier Michel | G | 1.2k words ao3 link

Twenty facts about Chevalier Michel.

A/N: Chevalier Character Study Attempt Number 2. In this one, I leaned towards a particular flavor of his characterization. No spoilers for Sariel's route (I haven't read too far yet to include new info about Chev); just rambling about expansionist!Chevalier.

1. Emotions have always been a foreign concept to him.

1.1. The first emotion he’d learned was fear.

Not him as an active subject but of him. The object of the emotion. It started with the eyes: how people’s eyes slid away from him, even though he had to tilt his chin up and remained looking at them. Then came the head, how it bowed down, almost subservient. Then both the voice and the body: a trembling that could not be hidden, but painstakingly restrained lest they appeared weak to a child like him.

It’s then that Chevalier had to learn the necessity of observation.

2. Chevalier has eidetic memory. 

Paired with observation, it allows Chevalier the capability of absorbing and assessing information.

(A sharp memory has its drawbacks, however. Chevalier, up to this day, remembers with vivid clarity the emotion his mother displayed when he was found blood-soaked in his bedroom, a knife in hand, a corpse at his feet.)

3. He is a natural with swords.

Every hilt fits in his hand, as if they all are made for him.

4. He is a natural with everything else.

It’s why he’s called a genius. It only takes him a glance and he will have mastered it. They call it abnormal, this phenomenon, a once-in-a-lifetime blessing (curse?). His parents should have been proud of it, of him, but – 

5. For a short period of time, he knew of his mother's love.

A father’s – that’s another story.

6. He knows of love through books.

It’s how he’s identified in retrospect the queen’s fleeting love of him.

6.1. His understanding of human emotions comes from books.

There’s knowing, there’s understanding, and there’s experiencing. Chevalier possesses the first two, never the last. There is a difference between them: knowing is not understanding, understanding is not experiencing. One can know without having to understand, and one can understand without having to experience. Knowing is a matter of identifying, and understanding is a matter of identifying patterns. If, then. A conditional statement. If I am kind to you, then you will be kind to me. A cause and effect. A reciprocation.

If I show you what I can do, then you will listen to me.

7. He has a strong sense of responsibility.

There’s a difference between responsibility and obligation. In responsibility, you take; in obligation, you receive. Chevalier takes, because he understands that power is a responsibility.

8. He knows the value of a life.

Despite how easily he takes them.

(He knows and understands the physics of swordblade cutting flesh and bone. He has experienced it.)

9. As a royal, Chevalier decided long ago that his existence is solely in the service of his kingdom.

9.1. It doesn’t matter if he does not become king; the responsibility still remains.

10. Contrary to popular belief, Chevalier is a simple creature.

He only wants one thing and one thing only: the continued existence of Rhodolite.

10.1. This makes him a straightforward and narrow-focused man.

(In this vein he is ruthless but predictable.)

10.1.1. To the point that morality and ethics are just mere suggestions, not pillars to be unquestionably followed.

(What are morality and ethics when faced with existential questions?)

10.1.2. He's a fierce advocate of pragmatism.

10.1.2.1. Ideals are a dream, unfit for the waking world.

(One can argue that his goal for Rhodolite is an ideal – thus a dream – in itself.)

11. It baffles him that people think he’s difficult to understand.

12. Chevalier adheres to a particular taxonomy.

Everything in the world can be classified by its degree of usefulness to him. The higher the usefulness, the more likely he wields its name.

In some cases, usefulness and worth are synonymous with each other.

13. As a lover of books, he has a keen relationship with words.

(In another life he would make a formidable lawyer.)

14. He doesn’t care what others think of him.

But he does acknowledge the power of a collective. He still is, after all, just one person. Against many, it can be challenging to sway hearts and minds. Compromise is crucial. A constraint, sure, but a crucial one.

Only to an extent.

(He is still called the Brutal Beast in spite of these constraints. One wonders what would happen if a beast roams free, unencumbered.)

15. Like all other princes, Chevalier works towards a prosperous Rhodolite – without enemies, without threats.

Leon calls it peace. Chevalier calls it order.

16. Unifying the kingdoms in the region is but a logical conclusion to Chevalier’s goal.

If they are to achieve true peace, then it follows that all wars must cease. Wars, by definition, are waged by different nation-states with each other. What else is the solution except eliminating borders?

(The question of civil wars remains, but Chevalier has a lifetime’s worth of experience in quelling internal problems.)

17. He is a manager, not a leader.

A leader inspires and bestows hope upon his followers. He is better off as the face of a group. But a manager – 

A manager controls. Organizes. Oversees the system so that the ship runs smoothly. Takes care of any mishaps. Deals with risks and threats. Handles everything down to its minute details. He works to maintain a functioning body. He works to maintain its existence.

Leon, Chevalier acknowledges, is a leader. People look to him for guidance and assurance. He’s certainly charismatic enough for it.

But Chevalier doesn’t need to be at the forefront to achieve his goal. He doesn’t need to be a king to bring into reality what he wants for Rhodolite. It’s actually better that way: to become king is to be exposed to constant scrutiny. If he wants results (as all managers want), then it is best if he works amidst fewer prying eyes.

That way, there is less constraint and more freedom to do what needs to be done.

18. He believes that the Belle system is a flawed and absurd system.

(Why put the fate of a kingdom onto a young, naïve girl who has neither knowledge of, understanding, or experience in politics and governance? Who in their right mind would do that?)

19. He does not see himself as superior to everybody else.

Comparison displeases him. It does not work that way. You work with what you have. You improve what you have. To the point where you can weaponize it. This is so your worth will never disappear.

20. Chevalier is not a perfect man.

What is perfection anyway? It’s just an arbitrary measure for things people find sacred and uncanny.

Whatever they say of him – perfect, a beast, inhuman, monster, someone removed from humanity – Chevalier knows that he cannot do everything. He deals with the cards he's given. And where he lacks, he fills the gaps by utilizing what's around him. Skill, talent, capability, resources – they are useless if you don’t know how to wield them.

Perfection does not exist. And if it does, it’s just an illusion. It’s all semantics, anyway.

[scruffyssketchbook]

If swordblade was gonna be a proper character, what would his relationship be like with the rest of the cast?

Blizz: Swordblade first meets Blizz at an event that is still canon, so I cant talk about it in detail. Blizz was basically abandoned by the other main boys and was- in the process of having a panic attack and Swordblade talks to him. From that point on, Swordblade notices things like how the other main boys treated Blizz and he becomes his friend in response. A very supportive, very caring friend that matched his energy. And he defends Blizz and tries to help him with his anger issues, social anxiety and honestly was just super supportive. And Blizz adored him back TTuTT They became best friends really quickly. Blizz reminded him of an eevee he heard of that went by the same name.

Dusk: Swordblade hated Dusk. He was appalled about how Dusk ran the eevee box, hated how Dusk treated Miku and Blizz, and actively tried his best to bring justice. To the point where he joined the Greenpaw brotherhood to crumble things from the inside. Dusk on the other hand, really wanted SB to like him, because like- everyone likes him! Why doesn't he like him???

Eve: Eve saw how Swordblade treated Blizz and was very happy that Blizz had a new friend. SB was very nice to her as well and they did hang out a lot too ^^ Lots of banter between the three of them lmao

Vay: Vay hated Swordblade. SB didn't know how to feel about Vay. Vay saw all the attention Blizz was giving Swordblade and got extremely, EXTREMELY angry & jealous. Cause of things that will be very apparent when we look at Blizz and Vay's relationship in the future after all the things that happened between them. Swordblade tries to help the two reconnect. (Keyword, tries) Vay and SB had a lot in common honestly, they both strive for justice and love helping others, but Vay is just a bit more.... well. He views things a bit more like fiction than reality (aka- HE'S DELULU)

Bolt: Honestly never thought of their relationship cause Bolt was a piece of wet cardboard left out to dry on a clothes line when SB was being developed

Flame: Swordblade didn't hang around Flame much due to Flame being distrustful of him. And because SB had a crush on Miku too and it was obvious and Flame didn't want him anywhere near her cause well... SB had the tag and earrings that indicated that he was a Lab eevee. *gasp*

Daisy: SB didn't have much of a relationship with Daisy, and the stuff I can say about their relationship is spoilers for her arc so >w>;

Dawn: Swordblade was part of a friendgroup with Miku, Dawn, and Eevui. (mostly Miku and Eevui) Dawn and him got along great! Tho she had to tech him and Miku a lot of basic things they were not aware of of the world.

Miku: Swordblade had a crush on Miku. He actually knew of her and she knew of him before he got caught. He admired her beauty and her strength when faced with adversity. He also knows what she is running from and wants to help her get away from it. Miku is her normal zany self around him and she tends to drag him into a lot of situations.
