Johnny Cage holds his annual Halloween, inviting over all his friends from the tournament he had been in over a year ago. This party, though, is going to be quite different. The music, drinks, costumes, and decorations are going to stay the same, but Johnny had a surprise for all of them that might change the relationship Earthrealm and Outworld have with each other. And like every other party Johnny Cage has hosted, someone has to crash it.

may i hear about your mk1 ships 🫴

oh what a terrible thing to ask me. So far I have only 2 ships I'm invested in and seek content for. And then there is this horrible crackship I made that has taken over my mind. (accompanied with drawings, because would I even be me if I answered an ask without an image? no.) Number one for me is Syzoth/Ashrah... I love them so much and their dynamic is so AUGH. Both characters are precious to me, I want them to be happy forever and never sad. I haven't drawn much content for them (yet) but I guarantee that I think about them constantly.

(this was my only syzoth drawing readily available)

Number two!! is Raiden/Smoke (thunderclouds). This is honestly more of a casual ship!! I like both of them and their dynamic together is really fun to draw and write, but honestly it wasn't an immediate click for me... and I want Raiden to myself. That all being said, they're cute, they go on picnic dates, they point out clouds to each other, and I think they beat each other up sometimes as a fun little enrichment treat for both of them. Image:

Worst for last!!! This came to me as a fever dream and I first want to explain exactly how I started shipping them- So a bit back I was sitting in my dorm staring at my wall thinking about the dudes, as usual. And I had this wonderful idea: you know what two characters would absolutely despise each other? And would want to go full looney toons style violence on each other? Reiko and Bi Han. I was so enthralled with how absolutely hilarious I thought their dynamic simply being put in a situation together would be, that I decided to write a short fic where they get put into a Situation. It started off as a joke with no further intention... but soon after, to make it even funnier, I thought to myself "hey, what if there was only one bed?" I've recently been delighted to find that a few other people have similar ideas to me in the regards of Bi Han and Reiko being a pairing (yippie!!!). But, honestly, I just find it so funny that they would hate each other so much and hate even more that they end up having feelings for each other. In conclusion: I am writing a multi chapter slowburn. I DO have more thoughts on them but I'm going to keep it under wraps here and perhaps make a separate post about what I think of their dynamic. There IS specific context for these drawings. But . I'm not writing all that.

Oh! Also Johnshi too I guess! They're cool. Thumbs up to them.

So, fun story

Some weeks ago I was looking for Ao3 Originals™️ to read, and I found out that some authors I really really like had an au series that looked really promising. Except that series was not Original Work fandom, but… Batman fandom. Never touched a single comic of him but watched many of the movies, cartoons, and video games over the years, so I decided to give the fic series a try, because the premise sounded so so good

That was either my best decision or my worst mistake. One fic led to the other, and now the account I use to bookmark Original Works is unrecognizable. I have been doing this all day every day since then. I probably have read more of these than I have read mk fics in this time

But it was supposed to stay like that, just au fics, that would be all. Except I told my sister and she told me I *had* to watch both Teen Titans Go movies, and I know you may be rolling your eyes but I actually enjoy that cartoon, we both do, so I accepted

We watched them today. And then one thing led to another and now we started watching the live action Netflix Titans show. Because why not. So that’s how it is currently

Anyway, I need some mk vs dc facts to inflict on my sister, it’s all for a good cause. The only thing that stuck with me from my wiki reading (I never played the game and I didn’t bother to watch the story mode video) is that in his ending, Kuai becomes Batman. Does that make Frost Robin?

…. I think I have a fic idea

(Funny enough, those fics I have been reading playing a big part in getting rid of my writer’s block. Getting to read a bunch of good fics one after the other, all with my favorite tropes and themes, was a very inspiring experience. Not that I don’t read a lot of good fics in the mk fandom or other fandoms that I am properly in, but I never got in any of them to read so many fics that had all these specific tropes. I wish every fic enthusiast one day finds an ao3 collection or two full of fics that hit that exact spot, whatever that may be for you)

(I’m still not getting a new fandom, but…. maybe this morning I intended on playing Injustice 2 instead of mk1. It’s only because I am bored with mk1 after finishing the season, and I have been meaning to go back to unlocking stuff in mk11 or Inj2 some of these days. The fact that I may have formed an emotional connection with some characters since last time I played is just a coincidence)

(Nrs should make a Spider-Man or Symbiote fighting game. I know they belong to Warner but. There is something magical about the experience of having your blorbo in a fighting game. And I like how nrs does games)
