THE REAL RAIDEN!

THIS IS RAIDEN. RAIDEN IS A GOD OF THUNDER AND PROTECTOR GOD OF EARTHREALM. HE IS A FUNNY,LOVING,WISE,THE MOST HUMAN OF THE GODS AND KNOWS ABOUT MORTALS AND ISN'T A BRAINDEAD DUMBASS WHO DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING(like srsly a person who's been around mortals for a long time knows about them,to have him as the aloof one and fujin the younger one as somehow the more in tune one despite not ever interacting with mortals hardly,is fucking irritating and offensive and an insult and clearly people not only dont know the characters but do not understand siblings,especially blood related,outside of being gross or tropey and it shows. None of you have sibling nor a positive relationship with them. So dont write siblings if you dont understand or dont bother to listen to those that do.) FATHER FIGURE,SARCASTIC AF,TIRED,OVERWORKED,UNDERPAID,UNDERAPPRECIATED,SWEETHEART,FRIEND-SHAPED,SEXY DILF WHO SCREAMS *ayayababey!* AND LAUNCHES HIMSELF AT HIS FOES! AND I WON'T ACCEPT OTHERWISE!

Any other version is an impostor or a joke. I won't take seriously. And refuse to acknowledge it's existence.

Raiden is a thunderdilf. Period!

If you answer anything else,you're wrong. Sorry.

Do raiden right or not at all. Do mk right or not at all.

[arttrampbelle]

BEHOLD THE REAL RAIDEN. THE REAL GOD DILF OF THUNDER!

Also yes he would love you sweetheart. Dont worry.

He's funny,sweet,and protective.

Even when he went "dark" he still had principles he just went a little crazy and you brought him back dont worry he still care.

Oh not to mention his bro thinks you're awesome.

[mrstsung]

For you raiden simps. I MEAN THE PROPER RAIDEN FANS! lord raiden god of thunder.

"God,master,warrior,friend. He is lord raiden"

Used a base

[arttrampbelle]

I feel nrs shits on raiden because ed has a problem with the character personally.

Why? I honestly have no fucking clue.

Raiden isn't that hard to understand so im not understanding the big deal.

We can have him go dark but not liu? Oh yes because he's the special one. I forgot. 🙄😒😑

Everyone else can get at least something that makes them feel believable,even likable and flawed.

Oh but heaven forbid liu kang fucks up.

See this is why hc liu is better. Non god liu kang is better.

But back to raiden.

Why is it. Why is it. Whenever raiden makes a reasonable mistake,that anyone can make.You guys take it so hard?

And villainize him.

But if liu makes a mistake its the end of the world but never do the same. Like all is forgiven and forgotten. Emphasis on the forgotten part. 🙄

If any other characters do reasonably fucked up shit. And have decent character flaws. You guys dont bat an eye.

But raidne does it. Suddenly you shit on him.

He cant win no matter what he does,how you write him. Im starting to think you guys hate raiden because you have unresolved daddy issues,authority issues,or you hate to admit that a godly powerful being cant wipe you ass all the time and you *sarcastic shock!* might actually have to solve the problems yourselves?! Wow what a concept.

Like srsly tho. Raiden isn't infallible. But he isn't a fucking chump loser can't get shit done.

He could get shit done but he has a code of honor,rules he has to follow by(that he hates),he has so much on his plate. And honestly you guys never appreciated his character.

Like out of pure spite. Im gonna do raiden self indulgent stuff today. Just to spite people.

Legit half the crap we got in 12. We could have gotten with raiden if you guys at nrs bothered to fucking write him properly. Instead of being lazy selfish pricks with a bias and favoritism towards other characters. *couch liu kang cough* (like i love liu but not written like that,never like that. God liu? Gross. Humble monk warrior liu? Yes)

Because liu kang playing "savior and creator of everything" is disturbing,disgusting,and disrespectful.

Like srsly they are legit telling THE SAME FUCKING STORY AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN. SAME AS 11. SAME SHIT. oh but because its uwu brand liu kang. And not the real liu kang. Suddenly its ok?! No!

Legit mk12....os the same fucking thing. Just liu kang brand.

It's no exciting. Its not new. You guys are lying to yourselves.

We could have had any fucking god charactera in mk do the same shit. And get the same result.

You guys could have had this with raiden. But noooooooo. You wanna shit on a character for shock value and no reason. Gtfoh.

You could have actually done something worth a damn but nope. You only care about gimmicks and whatever carries your attention spans for five secs for a quick fix of serotonin because you can't fucking get thru your heads you are being manipulated by a fucking company that lost passion years ago.

But that's besides the point.

So yeah. Raiden.

I'm so sorry they never gave you the love they should have.

Tobias should sue for your trauma. (Half joking here people. Tobias was the one who created and came up with the idea for raiden in the first place. And layed many foundations for this game but is half heartedly given credit while boon steals (no pun intended) his thunder)

Raiden i am so sorry for your mistreatment.

*hugs him*

Srsly if you call yourself a mortal kombat fan. And you genuinely hate raiden Do us all a favor and throw yourself in the dumpster fire. Plz. Also block tf outta me.

Look as a shang tsung tsimp. I love many many other characters too. But raiden is a comfort character,tho i self ship with him too he is comfort character. So i won't tolerate slander and disrespect.

Anyways. Raiden....my thunderdilf.....you deserve sm better.

I hope real raiden fans understand this. And make more PROPER kontent for you. Unlike nrs. We will treat you right.

[arttrampbelle]

A Raiden Blurb.

⚡💙⚡💙⚡💙⚡💙⚡💙⚡💙⚡💙⚡💙⚡

Have a lord Raiden blurb. For no reason other than he need love,deserves better and gives me comfort.

I apologize in advance if this is self indulgent. But he's comfort character(i self ship with him too but he's mostly comfort character, i find peace with raiden fr. I ask myself sometime wwlrd? Or what wisdom would he give me in this scenario?).So I'm writing this sorta bias. So srry not srry.

Also apologizes if this isn't the best,it's been a bit since i actually wrote. But i hope you enjoy regardless.

Cw:hurt/comfort,angst,fluff,self indulgent. Not an x reader. Also slight mentions of past deaths,not anyone in particular just death in general(dunno if that is important or a tw but i wanted to mention it),mentions of my hcs for shang. If i missed anything let me know plz.

💙⚡💙⚡💙⚡💙⚡💙⚡💙⚡💙⚡💙⚡💙

I sat down on my terrace patio of my apartment,listening to the rain,it felt heavy. Some tea in my hands. Warmth of the steam fills my nose upon my face. Somber thoughts race through my mind.

A few years ago i was thrusted into a world,a world of constant danger. Mortal men and women fighting each other to death for some cosmic war i never wanted to be a part of. I was fine being ignorant to it all. Living life as i was...and yet. I wouldn't have met the people i have. Wonderful people. People that have fueled my very soul and shaken my worldview to it's core. Made me grow,learn,see farther than i ever dreamed.

And yet,that looming danger. That hunger. It knaws at me. That voice in the back of my mind.

"Do it,you know you love it. Doesn't it thrill you? Don't you like how it sounds?...how it feels against your knuckles as it's crimson luster flows across your skin. The feel of power and strength. The way that victory tastes. And defeat only makes you crave it more?" This feeling I've never felt. This world that i have been apart of for a good time now. Never truly leaves. Even when peace surrounds me. Even when i am home...am i truly? Who am i truly? What have i become or am becoming? It terrifies me. But not because of the craving for violence. Or the thrill kombat gives me. But because it doesn't bother me,it should. But it doesn't.

What should be an easy task to decide,for any sane moral person. Is difficult.

I sought some answers,and if anything comfort of another.

I finished my tea. Got up. And put on my boots and coat. Grabbed my umbrella. And went to the temple. I lived on the city limits but still was an easy walk to the temple that was near.

The temple of lord raiden. God of thunder,protector of earthrealm. Or as normal people call it....earth. yeah i know,confusing right? It was for me too the first time.

As i approached the temple gates. The torii. They loom with dark red. I can hear the soft sounds of the chimes and temple bells. Prayers of monks. And the serenity of this place.

However,no matter the peace. The welcoming faces and smiles. I still felt like i wasn't even on this planet. Lost in my own realm if that makes any sense. But i chalk that up to my anxiety,as i always tell myself. But im sure lord raiden would see right through that shit.

But i needed to talk to him. If anything just to tell me "you're overthinking,you need rest,something...tell me something."

I don't usually pray,i don't go to temples outside of with any neighbors or out of courtesy. I'm not heavily religious,i do believe in spirits and am open minded. As all things have a merit of truth to it. But this...praying to an actual deity i could touch,feel,talk to,as if they knew me and my soul since birth yet never really knew me. It's terrifying. But more so because of how at ease i felt with him. And how familiar he felt. Like a long lost friend.

His brother is much the same. Lord fujin,god the winds. But he is on a whole nother level of intense. I walked up to the shrine. Paid my tribute. Lit the incense,and bowed deeply once. Clapped my hands together and took a deep breath. In my prayer i asked for lord raiden to come visit me. To give me wisdom and insight. Comfort of my own storm inside my mind. The questions that burned still.

As i prayed. I could sense the incense getting dim in the dark but serene temple shrine.

It went out,smoke loomed and whisped.

Swirls of the smoke formed a face and a flash sparked in front of me. Not a large boom but a quick flash of light. Like the spark of the burning incense ignited in front of me and formed him.

Lord raiden. He stood before me,manifested.

A very tall man. Long white hair trailed down,slight waves of silver glinted in the strands. Eyes that glowed softy. A very silver-blue tint. With flickers of electricity in them,but soft...like the rain. A golden tint to his skin. Otherworldly yet so...human. tattoos of thunderstorms and swirling clouds laces his exposed arms. A sleeveless training gi he wore. White and grey. His presence never ceases to leave me in awe. Even after these many years of my mortal life.

"Lord raiden,i have come to ask of you humbly of your wisdom" i said with a slight shake in my voice as i bowed deep in respects.

He laughed as he crossed his arms and then sighed.

"You don't have to do that,you can just ask me. I told you i dislike formality outside of where it is nessicary. Especially from my former pupils"

*sigh* "but i appreciate it. As this is a temple."

I thanked him. Bowing again out of habit.

"Lord raiden....i wish to ask you some things that have been bothering me."

Raiden then looked at me with a smile.

"Of course,but let us speak about it somewhere more private" he led me to a tea house. The rain around us seeming falling away like we were in a bubble of energy....Still freaks me out.

He opened the shoji screen took off his sandels and so did i. We stepped inside and sat down.

Raiden got two cups,and poured the tea.

"Now,what is it that is bothering you krista?"

"You don't normally come to the temple so formally. In fact. I just hear you call my name and fujin my brother tells me. Our visits aren't this formal."

I sipped the tea,still shaking from nerves.

"L-lord raiden. I am going to be honest. And i apologize if I'm so blunt....but I'm absolutely terrified"

Lord raiden looks at me with concern but speaks with a calming tone.

"I can see that. Remember to breathe. You know i would never bring you harm or discomfort my dear."

"Now,what is it that is terrifying you? Making you so anxious as to call upon a god in an abnormal way for a practical woman such as yourself?"

I sat down the tea cup. Took a deep breath,slightly tearing up as i do. I hate sensory overload of my mind. I could sense he knew this. Hence the more private and quieter place of the teahouse.

"Lord raiden. I have been plagued with feelings. Feelings i am not sure if i should be feeling."

"After the tournament and returning to a swmi normal life. I have been feeling these on and off cravings for kombat. For violence. And i know that i fight for whats right. And to help protect my home. As you,many masters and many of my friends have done. But these feelings. I'm scared that i love kombat too much. That it doesn't bother me as much as it should. I've been told even by that sorcerer,shang tsung i have a nurturing soul. But if that's so? Why do i relish in kombat?"

Raiden sighed. Put down his cup. Took a breath and looked at me.

In the most serious but most insightful words he's ever spoken to me,said.

"Krista. I know of too well of how you feel. Many others have been in your shoes and down the same path as you. These feelings are normal. Everyone has them. Even me"

I looked at him,wiping my tears from the corners of my eyes.

"Even you lord raiden?" I said.

"Yes,even me. I get concerned with these feelings. Cravings as you stated. But i remember why i do what i do. Who i fight for,what i fight for. And truly there is no wrong answer. Only choice. There is no one way in handling your darker half. But you must. *pointing finger* you must accept it. If you are to become enlightened. You will continue to suffer,if you do not."

His words stung. But they are true.

"I feel you are in need of creature comforts. Not formalities."

"I know you krista. You indeed have a sweet soul *mutters: one thing i have to agree with the sorcerer* . *reaches arms out in gestures for a hug.* come,embrace me....you big softie"

I quickly rush to embrace him. Holding him tightly. I burst into tears,crying in his chest. Letting go the many many many months even years of pent up emotions.

"Why raiden?! Why is it so hard?! Why can't i see myself the way you do? Or my friends do. Why do i feel so lost?! It hurts. I hate fighting,but i know i need to. I'm so tired raiden."

I sob pleading for the hurt to stop.

His embrace and arms hold me tightly but gently. He rests his face ontop of my head kissing it gently and ernestly. His breath is warm but soft. Like a summer breeze.

"I know,i know it is. And you're allowed to feel tired. Believe me,I'm tired too. Have been for millennia now. *chuckles* but what we dont do is unpack there. You have such wisdom yourself. And the reason why you can't see yourself as the beautiful soul you are. Is simply because you are scared to. It's unfamiliar. And it's alright to feel this way. You are a natural healer. But you need to give yourself the love,the care,the space and the tenderness you give others. The fire and the inspiration you give my other warriors is incredible. But you,my dear *lifts chin up to look at him eye to eye* need to give yourself the same. Because that beautiful woman inside you,needs it the most."

"It's taken me much loss to see this too. I might be wise but even masters need teaching and refreshment too"

*i wipe my tears*

"Really? Like how?"

Raiden looked at me with his soften eyes. Slight sadness behind them.

"I have seen this before. Liu kang,the champion of earthrealm. Your friend and fellow warrior. Has felt these feelings before. I said very similar things to him. However unlike him. You have something very similar to shang tsung"

I was taken aback. Paused. And asked.

"S-shang tsung?! How so? That seems odd"

Raiden explains

"Ah but it's true. Shang tsung as you know him now. Wasn't always a sorcerer. Let alone the serpent he masquerades as."

"He was a warrior,just like you. A mortal whom wished nothing but to protect those he cared for. But he instead of sitting with his emotions. He gave into rage. Although i did not help him in this time which he needed me the most. I did not give him the comfort he sought. As i am doing with you right now. Even liu kang i struggled with. Though not nearly as much"

"You see my dear,i do not always have an answer. Even if i did,i wouldn't know how to truly give it."

"Shang tsung was also a healing soul. Much like you. He was always trying his best to fight for those he loved. Much like liu kang. But unlike liu kang,he didn't have the same experiences of friendship,closeness,and love as my many other warriors i have trained in my eternal life"

I asked raiden after getting this insight.

"Lord raiden. If shang tsung,did have that do you think he'd be different?"

Raiden sighed

"Perhaps. This knaws at me every day. But then again. Perhaps not. It's hard to say. But this isn't about him. What i am trying to tell you. Is don't let that spark die out. You keep that faith. Please. If not in me,if not in the cause for you realm. Then the principals of you as a warrior and a healing force"

"Never forget krista that there are people that love you. Genuinely. That your friends love you. That i lo..that you are important."

I looked at him,slightly catching that pause.

But smiled and continued sitting and laying against his chest.

"Domo,raiden-sama. I needed this"

Raiden smiled rubbing my back.

"Of course,anytime"

He kissed the top of my head.

We then chatted some more. But i remembered i needed to get home.

Raiden looked at me and said. "I could fly you there. It's not far right?" "I mean it beats walking" raising a brow with a cheeky expression.

"Well yeah i mean. I guess it would" i said. But before i could continue. He picked me up. Scooping me bridal style. And flew out the doors of the teahouse.

Not a single raindrop hit us as we flew down the road in the sky.

We came to my apartment patio. He sat me down.

I said to him

"Thank you raiden,for everything."

He smiled at me and said

"Of course. Oh and next time? Just call my name and I'll be there."

I laughed a bit at that. "Of course lord raiden" smiling as he flew off.

I felt lighter. But i still wondered...why did he feel like he had guilt for shang tsung being how he was. If it was his choice than why feel guilt over something he chose? What happened?" But i guess that was for another visit. But more importantly than that.

"What was that pause when he said that i am loved? Could he have been trying to say that he loves....nah. I'm overthinking it."

But i couldn't help but blush at the thought.

The rain felt more calm now.

I got my cup and brewed some tea.

Sat down. And gave the rain a proper listen this time...it's beautiful. Just like the god that creates it. Like a beautiful haiku,a song,or a painter.

The tea was good too.

My soul was at ease now.

His eyes,Soft...like the rain.

Awww raiden

White Lotus Love Language Headcanons

Raiden

Actions and Words: Raiden can be both verbally and physically affectionate, depending on his mood and his partner(s). He finds it very easy to be more verbally affectionate or more physically affectionate when the mood swings that way or if there is a preference with his partner(s). He tends to be very classy and the picture perfect gentlemen with both though, expect nothing but class with Raiden's affections.

Pet Names: Raiden tends to very formal, flowery but utterly reverent in his pet names. 'My love', 'My darling', 'My treasure', 'My dearest love', so on and so forth. While they may seem dry and dated to others, Raiden means them with all his heart and makes sure that his tone drips with complete and utter adoration when he says them to let his partner(s) know that he cares and loves deeply.

Gifts: Raiden loves giving gifts if that is wished! He tends towards the smaller but very thought out and personal ones, such as favorite flowers or foods, personally handmade clothing (with love in every stitch!).

Fujin

Actions over Words: Make no mistake, Fujin can be very verbally affectionate. But he tends to act before he thinks and will more readily hop into action to show his love to his partner(s). Coming in for a hug or kiss, sweeping them up to twirl about (aided by wind of course) and just materializing out of thin air to grab them and hold them. He acts before he thinks, but in this case he just sees and loves on.

Pet Names: Fujin is strange where he tends to flipflop all around. Formal flowery pet names? Yes. Informal and more modern petnames? Yes. Saying the first name or even the last name with a very noted degree of affection? Yes. Fujin is all over the place on how he verbally shows his affection, fickle as the element he is lord over, but its part of his charm.

Gifts: Fujin actually is not one for gifts. He absolutely can and will give them, but given his long, long life, he tends to find material objects fleeting. Most gifts will be something practical that you might need such as food or clothing, or something more easily acquired and consumed, like sweets.

Bo Rai' Cho

Actions over Words: Bo Rai' Cho is a veteran of kombat, has been a teacher for so long and generally he's an older gentleman, so he tends to fall to physical affection more readily and tends to generally favor it over verbal affection. He absolutely can be verbally affectionate and can change his ways for a partner(s) that prefers verbal affection, but he tends to find physical actions more affirming.

Pet Names: Plain and simple, he tends to favor 'my dear', 'my love' and saying the first name with a noted degree of affection, beyond that... he just finds anything beyond that a little to flowery or too much for his own personal taste

Gifts: Bo Rai' Cho loves giving the gift of comfort food. He finds the act of cooking for someone, especially a dish that brings them comfort and joy to eat, a truly deeply affectionate act and one that can show a lot of love and care. If food is not a good gift for a particular partner(s), he will favor touching but practical items such as clothing or books.

Kung Lao

Words over Actions: The common joke is that Kung Lao runs at the mouth, but genuinely he does love being verbally affectionate. Being verbally affectionate means he can go all out with being flowery and poetic and it being a good thing and he loves that and he loves just gushing about how much he loves his partner(s).

Pet Names: All over the place, within taste of course. Kung Lao will use any pet name that pleases his partner(s). Flowery and formal? Check. Informal and more modern? Check. Super cute? Check. Just plain old first/last name with affection? Check. He himself tends to flip between short and cute petnames and slightly more formal ones, but honestly he favorite is which ever one conveys his love best.

Gifts: Kung Lao does give gifts, but he tends to be tame and practical with them and veers towards practical and smaller ones like clothing, books, decorations, etc. If he can find the written words, he might gift a truly dripping with adoration poem, but he tends to stick with things that will be loved and used every day.

Liu Kang

Actions over Words: Liu Kang is Earthrealm Champion but his relationship experience is... well... and his social skills... he's cute and he tries. So he tends to more readily fall into physical acts of showing affection while trying to build up his courage/skill for more verbal ones. He quite likes holding hands and hugging (he wants permission first, he's shy about initiating) while building up to more.

Pet Names: Liu Kang tends to stick to saying the first/last name with a noted degree of affection, especially in public. In private he tends to favor the flowery and formal ones. Each one is said with true love though. And if he finds that super cute pet name that just works, make no mistake that is getting used everywhere, public, private, he does not care if he gets ribbed over it by his friends and family, the second he finds it, he's using it.

Gifts: Liu Kang is not the greatest at giving gifts. He just overthinks it and ends up picking practical ones. He absolutely is trying and his heart shows in everything, and given time, he will get better at them. But usually he tends to stick to clothing, books, room decorations, etc.

Kai

Actions and Words: Kai easily switches from being verbally affection to physically affectionate or both. It tends to rely on his mood and his partner(s), as he simply likes showing his affection with no real preference. Every action is very sweet and tender and never fails to show his affection.

Pet Names: Kai tends to prefer super cute and shorter petnames over anything else. It tends to be easier to say and often feels more personalized, at least to his own taste. He just loves finding that cute little pet name that is clearly for his partner(s), unique to them and unique to their romance.

Gifts: Kai actually likes finding strange nicknacks that his partner(s) might enjoy. Just very odd little things that stick out/stand out and will be remembered more than something that might be easily consumed or just something practical to be used every day. Honestly his goal if for someone to be drawn enough to it to point at it to ask what it is and for his partner(s) to proudly say that he had gotten it.

Kung Jin

Actions over Words: Kung Jin has had a rough life, to say the least. So it takes time to warm up to the man/men he's currently romancing and he tends to more readily allow himself the easier emotional vulnerability of physical affection over verbal. He absolutely can be verbally affectionate, he just needs time to allow himself to open up to that. Make no mistake, he can make his love known through actions quite clearly until then.

Pet Names: Kung Jin tends to stick to more modern and informal pet names such as 'babe' 'bae/boo', etc or some cute and short pet name. He's just been around the other kombat kids too much to be flowery and mean it or not make himself laugh at the usage. He actually tends to save the more heartfelt ones, saying the first name with affection, for private. Just the way that he reverently says the word kind of makes him blush, so he tends to give that to the audience of the man/men he's dating only.

Gifts: Food. He spent way too much time thieving and then living with the White Lotus to put too much stock in material objects. Food you can cook, food you can get special made, food you can share, and food you can eat and be done with it. Outside of that he just tends to think anything else is a potential dust gatherer and not really romantic in general.
