My headcanons about some Mortal Kombat 1 characters (part 2)
Liu Kang
— He is a big fan of tea.
— He always invites Geras to have tea with him, even though Geras always refuses.
— He used to hold Kitana in his arms when she was a baby, thinking that she would be lucky if she had the beauty and strength of his Kitana.
Johnny Cage
— He began acting in musicals in Los Angeles theaters.
— He has already hosted the Golden Globes once.
— He flirts with men too, although he doesn't know if that makes him bisexual.
Kenshi Takahashi
— His favorite movie is Kill Bill.
— As a former gangster, he is also great with firearms.
— He began teaching classes to children who wanted to be samurai and swordsmen.
Raiden
— Sometimes he goes back to Fengjian to help the villagers and see his family.
— He has never used a cell phone in his life, as the internet signal in Fengjian is very bad.
— He's a mama's boy, and his mother always sends him candies at the Wu Shi academy.
Kung Lao
— He is a fan of Bruce Lee.
— Speaking of Bruce Lee, he dreams of being a martial arts icon and being as famous as Johnny.
— He is protective of Raiden's sister.
Li Mei
— Since the emperor's death, Li Mei began praying to Delia every day for Sindel to forgive her.
— Now that she is no longer an Umgadi, Li Mei wants to meet her biological parents (partially canon).
— Mileena was inspired by Li Mei to create her hairstyle, just as Kitana was inspired by Sindel to create hers.
Sindel
— I used to sing lullabies to Mileena and Kitana when they were children.
— She always knew that Mileena liked women, although terms like "lesbian", "gay", "bisexual" or "pansexual" don't exist in Outworld.
— Still on this topic, Sindel fears that Mileena will not have children (because well, besides her being completely faithful to Tanya, what are the chances of her conceiving a child with a man even if it is her duty?) and hopes that Kitana will marry one day to continue the royal line.
Mileena
— Just like in part one, Tanya was not her first love, she had romantic (and possibly sexual) relationships with some noblewomen at court, it was after Jerrod's death that she got closer to Tanya.
— She hates wearing jewelry, despite having to wear it at royal events.
— She was close to Jerrod, just as Kitana is closer to Sindel.
Kitana
— She is the most stylish of the royal family, wearing beautiful blue dresses and silver jewelry, as well as tiaras with pearls, rubies, sapphires and emeralds.
— If there was a tournament similar to the Olympics in Outworld where the provinces of the empire compete against each other, Kitana would participate in equestrianism (I totally see her winning gold or silver).
— The thought that she would make a better empress than Mileena is due to the fact that she always visits the sick (except Tarkatans, of course) and poor people of Outworld, as well as visiting small towns and fighting for better working conditions in the mines (imagine her as a kind of Princess Diana from Outworld).
Smoke
— Sometimes when he is angry he ends up saying Czech words like "Hovno!" (Shit!) or "Můj bože" (Oh my God).
— Tomas' mothers (biological and adoptive) used to comb his hair.
— If Kuai Liang and Harumi had a girl, he would be the best uncle in the world.
Scorpion
— He dated Cyrax while they were both teenagers.
— He looks more physically like his father, while Bi-Han looks more like their mother.
— Sometimes, he is more of a perfectionist than Harumi.
Sub-Zero
— She has a huge connection with Sektor, as if she completes him.
— Can stay for hours in temperatures below zero.
— He still has his and Kuai Liang's nanny in the clan.

Savior Carl!AU re-read Part 1 Chapter 1
In honor of the Savior Carl!AU celebrating its fourth birthday this week (on Thursday 9th to be precise), I'm re-reading the whole series with a running commentary for anyone who might be interested in it. If you're not interested and don't want to have your dashboard spammed, you can block the tags Duchess reads and Savior Carl AU reread.
Commentary for Part 1, Ch 1 below the cut (spoilers for part 1 ahead):
First of all, it always blows my mind that I never realized the first thing Negan says to Carl in the Savior AU is... that he finds Carl hot. I wish I was kidding but this is literally what Negan says to Shane when he offers himself and Carl as Saviors:
"Hey, no offense, big guy. That's a good looking kid you have here, must take after his mama, that's all."
Like... That man noticed Carl the second he laid eyes on him. Iconic. And as if that wasn't enough, Negan throws in another compliment about Carl's eyes:
"Same goes for you, kid, if you don't want Lucille to bash your head in, eyes first. She likes ‘em baby blues, and you're just her favorite shade."
Jesus, Negan, just go down on one knee and propose, why don't you.
Something that's also hitting me as I'm re-reading the chapter is how frayed Carl and Shane's relationship already is when the story starts:
As Carl lies on his bare mattress in the Saviors' compound, Shane sleeping soundlessly on the bed, he reminds himself that it all rests on him. Shane is a gun always ready to go off. As long as Carl can point him in the right direction, it can all be alright. It has to be.
Shane lets Carl sleep on a bare mattress on the floor like a dog at his feet, while Carl thinks of Shane as a weapon he can use for his own survival. They are both dehumanizing the other, seeing the other as a mere tool. Shane's death at the end of part 1 was inevitable and all the elements for it are foreshadowed from the beginning:
Suddenly, Carl doesn't just long for his gun, he longs for a knife. A machete. A hatchet. This is the man who killed Abraham. This is the man who killed Glenn. Suddenly, he longs for a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire.
It's especially telling that Carl already wants to wield the bat (even if here he's thinking about killing Negan with it). I think it's Chandler Riggs who mentioned in an interview that when Carl sees the Sanctuary for the first time with Negan, part of him is attracted by the power Negan has. This is very much present here. Carl already wants *to be* Negan here, to have the same power he has, to be able to inflict pain and vengeful retribution the same way Negan did in the clearing.
Okay but now that we've talked about Negan's first words to Carl, we need to talk about Carl's first words to Negan:
After spending all day being shown around the Sanctuary, after being fed and brought to a cozy room with a kitchen area and a comfy bed, Carl feels the sudden need to correct him. "He's not really my dad."
AKA, "Should you want to be my new daddy, just know that this slot if available" lmao
Okay no, but for real, this is especially interesting that Carl's first words to Negan are used to distanciate himself from Shane. This is due to what happened at the clearing. Shane was humiliated, brought low on his knees, submitted by a more powerful Alpha male. And here, this is Carl distanciating himself from Shane's defeat. In my mind, Carl is a sub craving male authority and power. He needs to be by the side of the most powerful man around, it's how he feels safe and protected in the apocalypse. He needs to be under the wing of someone stronger to protect himself and baby Lori. Until the clearing, this used to be Shane. But the second Negan entered the picture and made Shane kneel, Carl's allegiances shifted, whether or not he's aware of it. This moment is Carl sending Negan a very important subtext: "We both know Shane lost, and I need you to know I'm not like him, I'm not a loser." This Carl is a savage and I love him forever.
"Then why in the hell are you calling him that? Fuck, wait, tell me this ain't some kinky baby/daddy shit. A few of my wives call me that and I'd really like to be able to get laid without thinking about Shane's ugly mug while I'm balls deep in pussy."
Right, Negan, because that's the most logical explanation and the first one your brain should arrive at. It's for sure not related to the fact that you think the kid is hot. This being the first thing that comes to mind is no doubt purely a coincidence and not at all fueled by your already raging lust for him. God, he was probably thinking about tumbling Carl on the bed right here and then in Carl's new room.
Back on a more serious note, it blows my mind how much foreshadowing there is in chapter 1 (yes, I know I wrote it, but sometimes I realize something is foreshadowing *after* writing it):
“I’m not leaving you alone with these people,” Shane says darkly once she’s closed the door and her footsteps have receded down the hallway. “They’re trying to split us up. Weaken us. We won’t let them.”
This is almost prophetic. Shane knew exactly what Negan would try to do because it's what *he* would do. Divide and conquer. But Shane here is only thinking in physical terms: separating Carl from him physically so the Saviors have them isolated and can easily be overpowered. He didn't realize Negan would be driving a wedge between them by connecting with Carl. And by the time he did, it was too late to stop it from happening.
Conclusion; tldr: I really like this chapter. It's short, compact, non-linear, and yet everything is already here. The frayed relationship between Shane and Carl, Negan's interest in Carl, Carl's interest in Negan, Carl's utter loyalty for his little sister and no one else's. My favorite thing, though, has to be the ending with the boat. I'm really really happy that I thought of taking this element that was part of Rick and Aaron's storyline and that I managed to use it as a test of loyalty for Negan to put Carl and Shane through. Not to toot my own horn, but I'm proud of myself on this one. I love playing with canon and reusing it in a different way.
Also, I mentioned in my 2024 fic wrap Tumblr post that when I first posted this story on AO3, the engagement with it was very low and the Cegan fandom was pretty much dead. To give you an idea, I posted chapter 1 on January 9th and didn't receive a comment until January 14th. The second comment was posted almost a month later in early February (by no one other than the wonderful @reallygreatblogname222!!). It took me a month to get 2 comments on this fic and I didn't get another one until June, 6 months after posting. As discouraging as it can be to write a fic with very low engagement, always remember to find the joy in your own writing and to persevere regardless of what sort of feedback you get on it. 4 years later, Part 1 has over 900 kudos and 151 comments. None of it would have been possible if I had let myself be discouraged and stopped posting before finishing the story. It takes time to build a community but know that your people will find you eventually <3
PS: boy did I love commas back then. I'm cleaning them up as I re-read the chapter but, wow, 2021 Duchess, ease up on the punctuation.
You can find the commentary for chapter 2 here.

what are most optional episodes where dean would knock up sam? 👀
AHHHHH okay okay, obviously i would say pre-series when sam first wanted to leave for stanford, but i feel like that goes without saying...
1x11 Scarecrow this is one of their first real big fights, and i feel like with this one dean is so angry and just pissed off that the thought of sam having a reason to stay (being pregnant with dean's baby) is so appealing, and it crossed his mind for sure, but he wouldn't follow through this time because of how frustrated he is at sam
2x3 Bloodlust there's this one scene in here where sam dean and gordon are all at a bar, and sam says he's gonna head back to the motel and dean says something along the lines of "sammy remind me to beat that buzzkill outta you later" and the look they share, the look dean gives sam, just screams i wanna knock you up, like when dean goes back later he's gonna flip sam over and put him to use, give him a reason to stay, to care, to never leave dean. something about knocking him up and sam becoming an attic-wife sort of character is so interesting. like the baby is sucking the energy, resistance, and stubbornness from sam.
2x9 Croatoan (one of my all time favorite episodes, season two is pure gold) this one i just love because if sam was already knocked up in this one, WOW the emotions they'd be feeling, sam feeling like he needs to sacrifice himself, but also knowing he'd be taking their baby with him, but part of him is glad because he resents dean for baby trapping him, but at the same time part of dean is inside him, he'd be killing dean his big brother he would be hurting dean, and god i just know that dean would be telling him he can't, that he can't take the baby too cuz it's the only part of sammy that he'll have after sam's gone... lots of mixed emotions with this one. i think dean wanting to kill all three of them together would be a crazy sick and twisted moment of deranged familial love and sacrifice, and i'm so here for it.
2x10 Hunted and 2x11 Playthings simply for how fuckable sammy looks in these. but also sam finding out about what john told dean, his shift from anger to frustration to pure desperation. i think, especially in playthings, dean would want to give sam a reason to hold on, something to look forward to, something to keep him here, to keep him with dean.
2x19 Folsom Prison Blues another iconic episode, i think dean would wanna sneak sammy away, fuck him quick and nasty, knock him up and claim him, put a leash on the collar he's already wearing, show everyone else not to fuck with his boy.
2x22 All Hell Breaks Loose: Part 2 i think, again, if sam was pregnant here, and dean had to loose both his sammy and their baby, i think he'd be fucking sick. he would find a way to cut into sam and save the baby, then stitch sam back up and lick his wounds clean.
throughout all of season three, i think dean wouldn't even want to try knocking up sam because he knows he's dying soon. he wouldn't want to leave that behind, he wouldn't want to even think about missing out on that life with sam, but sam would beg for it. i think sam would be on his knees pleading for dean to fuck him and get him pregnant just so he could have a piece of dean left after he dies.
the majority of season four, dean doesn't think about it much because of how fucked up everything is, and i think that the events going on are too uncertain, too confusing, and the dynamic between sam and dean is so rocky and fragile that its something he'd put on the back burner. the demon blood pissed dean off so much that he wouldn't want sam to have his baby because of how fucked up he thinks sam is, almost as a punishment, he would withhold that part of him from sam, that kind of life, especially if sam wanted it, too. but at the same time part of him wants to show ruby sam is his, to show sam that he belongs to dean...
4x21 When the Levee Breaks is prime fuck sam and knock him up time, tie that boy down, show him who he belongs to, show him what his purpose is in this life, to be with dean, to be dean's.
season five is hard because, once again, things between the boys are so rocky and unstable, dean is so pissed, sam is so broken, they are both at odds, and dean can't even look sam in the eye. but, i think sam would be begging for dean to just touch him again because he wants things to go back to the way they were, he wants dean to forgive him, to love him, to want him like he used to. we also see a progression of dean starting to yearn for the apple pie life, and we see sam straying from it. they are wandering in opposite directions, craving different things, knowing their reality wouldn’t allow it, sam accepting that truth and being okay with it, and dean hating that fact, resenting it, wanting so badly to change the course of their lives but every attempt fails. i think dean wants to be a family with sam, but he knows he can’t have it, and by 5x14 My Bloody Valentine we see it start to fester and show itself in dean’s violent tendencies and outbursts, his out-of-character anger at things that don’t normally upset him…
-
imma keep it at the kripke era bcuz i haven't analyzed post-kripke dean and sam enough yet. i'm only on my third rewatch and this is the first time i'm watching the show through a wincest perspective! (i'm a retired destiel fan) so maybe i will add to this in the future!!

could you do another sturniolo little sister one? but maybe where she hasn’t come out to her brothers yet and she’s secretly dating madison beer and they catch her or find out somehow
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
sls!fwb!reader x fwb!Madison A/N: I hope you enjoy this it was definitely out of my normal for sure in terms of what I write, sorry it took me so long to get this completed. Also, if you don't like the preadded name in my stories, you can either add your own name or not read it; it's up to you- Charli
Dividers: @bernardsbendystraws
Tumblr media
Layla and her brothers were always super close even though she is the youngest in the family and there was nothing you haven't told your brothers; you tell each other everything... except this one thing
That one thing being that you are gay and have been having a thing for you guys' best friend, Madison. It wasn't that you didn't trust them with this information, you just simply couldn't figure out how to tell them about this identity change and secret friends-with-benefit relationship you were currently journeying on. This is resulted in the shameful feeling of sneaking behind your brother's back and you knew you were going to have to tell them at some point and figuring out how you were going to do so.
Tumblr media
"do we have to go to this party guys I kind of wanted to stay at home"
Layla groans out simply because she knew that madison would be there and being at a party like that wouldn't necessarily cover the sneaking around, I mean anything could happen anything.
"why wouldnt we"
chris shrugs as him and matt walk into your room where you and nick were since nick was helping you get ready against you will.
"i dont know its just not our scene"
you kind of lie it being not your scene.
"oh stop it will be fun plus you look good"
nick states as looks at your finished look in the mirror pulling your hair behind your shoulders.
'almost too good"
matt groans out going into protective mode before we even get to the party, little did they know. You let out a little huff in defeat just agreeing to go to the party and subtly hoping nothing bad happens.
Tumblr media
"madison"
nick exclaims as you guys finally run into her at the party which was bound to happened.
"hey you guys how are you"
she greets hugging your brothers in a group hug. you stand there kind of awkwardly, blushing slightly at how good she looked tonight.
"yeah i feel like we havent seen you in a while"
matt states as nick and chris agree.
"yeah it definitely has been a minute but I mean i've-"
she trails off pushing some of her brown hair behind her ear showcasing her iconic hoop earrings you always loved on her. it was just something about how to complimented her face, skin tone and her brown doe eyes.
" hung out with layla"
she shyly states as you two make eye contact with each other as she softly smiling.
"oh yeah we have you know girl time"
you agree breaking eye contact with her looking everywhere else but her eyes.
"oh she is the favorite i see"
chris jokes as shoves your shoulder slightly.
"yeah she is"
madison giggles as she abruptly cuts herself off wanting to get you alone away from your brothers.
"im actually im going to steal her you wont be needing her anytime soon"
madison jokes with your brothers grabbing your hand pulling you away from the three.
Tumblr media
you and madison a snuck off to random empty room in the house to get some time with you.
"finally"
madison giggles taking your hands in hers after closing the door.
"hi"
she softly whispers out giggling pushing some hair out of your way behind your ear. A pink tint rising on your face looking down at the carpeted floor.
"you look good"
you sigh out subtly biting your lip and looking into her eyes as you two begin lean in.
Tumblr media
"yo where did madison and layla go"
chris questions matt and nick as he makes his way over to where they were sitting.
"i dont know they were somewhere"
matt shrugs ready to go home already.
"i think madison went upstairs but im not sure where layla went though"
nick states looking at his phone then up at his younger triplet brother.
"isnt madison sleeping over though lets go find him I'm honestly ready to go"
chris groans out as matt and nick stand up to follow him upstairs.
"same here im soo ready to go"
matt agrees as they begin to trek upstairs. They slowly make their way to the door not even thinking to knock before opening it.
"oh"
matt states shocked as you and madison pull away.
"i can explain"
you rush out.
"wait layla youre gay"
nick questions with his jaw dropped.
"ye-yeah"
you stutter out finally admitting it
"i just didnt know how to tell you guys I'm sorry"
you rush out again and nick comes up to you resting his hands on his shoulders.
"lay its okay we support you plus"
nick chuckles out
"we love you either way"
chris chimes in as him and matt make their way over to you as well as madison as she beings to rest her head on your shoulder.
"okay"
you sigh out.
"plus yall are cute or whatever"
matt jokes.

primrose's ch3 is GOOD btw
#fucking simeon bro.......#i cant yap too hard without doing spoilers so heres another tag to fill space lalalala#ot1 spoilers#octopath spoilers#ANYWAYYY it starts with primrose coming back to her hometown which is already pretty strong#seeing a guy Fucking dying which is a great way to establish the harm done by the obsidian people and establish their power#.because if they didnt have a great amount of political power simeons entire motivation would fall through#but in the flashbacks he was sooo fucking good the writing (+ eng translation) did a good job of creating a gray area#between 'nice guy who is also courteous because primrose is a noble' and 'creep who might have a slightly overbearing crush on this kid'#bc shes like. 8 right ? and hes old enough to work as a gardener w/o his parents also being in service of the azelharts#so probably 17 at least?#ok um. i just looked up his age on the wiki and i dont know what the fuck is going on there#i didnt spoil myself but why is he 126.#anyway i actually feel like thats worse 💀#and then his breakdown calling himself primroses one true love..#shes so good i love the contrast between everyonee calling her beautiful + whatever the fuck helgenish and simeon were doing#and her showing no romantic interest in anyone. romance repulsed icon tbh#3 people this chapter were like 'lady primrose you have grown so beautiful since we last saw you' and shes like 😐#coming back around to simeons twist villain shit they went OFF reinforcing primroses performer theme#'the crowd gasps' etc etc. DAMN BRO#a lot of her story is theatrical drama coded ime. like with the ending narration saying 'tragic or happy ending'#she does seem like a dark take on a princess archetype which is cool#anyway the actual use of the game is good here too#the dark screen after she gets knocked out with the perfectly timed music??#and the flashbacks and the use of the titles on peoples speech bubbles#because the shift from 'simeon' to 'simeon the puppet master' kind kf made me lose it a little bit#RIGHT BEFORE the flashback where hes just 'gardener' ? yeah thats a banger#overall this is fairly simple good storytelling but it all comes together along w the actual game mechanics to make one of my...#... favorite chapters so far. plus im really excited for her ch4 now.

Alternatives to Squishmallow
So as many of you have probably already heard, Jazwares, the company that produces Squishmallows, is donating to charities that support Israeli soldiers and the IDF. They’re also supporting Canary Mission, which has been doxxing people who speak out against Israel. BDS hasn’t called for a boycott against them, but I can’t in good faith spend my money on their products, and I would strongly encourage everyone who enjoys plushies to really think long and hard about if you want to give your money to a company that’s helping support genocide!
But the holidays are coming up, and lots of us enjoy plushies and were fans of Squishmallow, and were planning to give Squishmallows to friends and family this year.
Fortunately, there are a number of great plushie companies out there, and I want to promote some of my favorites in the hopes that folks will get their plushie fix from a source that doesn’t side with Israel. So without further ado:
Fluffnest
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fluffnest got their start on Kickstarter a few years ago, and I adore the round shapes of their PuffPal plushies! My favorite is Pete the Possum, which is probably the best possum plush I’ve ever seen. I’ve also got a beautiful moth from their Kickstarter and I’ve been wanting their bats for ages. They also recently had a Kickstarter for an Animal Crossing-esque video game featuring their plushie characters and it looks fantastic.
Squishables
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I can’t get over the plague doctor plushies. They’re so perfect and cute, and they’ve released other variations of them called Alter Egos, like a ghostly version, an alien, or a really sweet cottagecore one! They’ve got a ton of variety, but what I like the most are the fantasy plushies. There’s a lich! There are dragons and demons! Cryptids! Biblically accurate angels! A lot of really fun stuff!
Also they do a lot of great charity work! Right now they’re doing an auction for the Food Bank of New York City.
AfternoonFika
Tumblr media Tumblr media
AfternoonFika is a very small business of only three people, but their plushies are extremely cute. They tend to sell out fast, so I recommend following them on social media to stay on top of any restocks! They recently released a line of dinosaurs that are precious, and of course I love their iconic cactus cat and cinnamon bun bunny.
Jellycat
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jellycat has been around since 1999, so they’re the oldest of these companies. They’ve got great designs, a ton of variety, and a lot of their plushies are made to be cuddled on and not just displayed. All three of my tiny nephews sleep with a different stuffed dog from Jellycat. My mom has a sun and several succulents that she uses as decorations. There’s a little something for everyone who enjoys plushies!
If you have any other favorite companies I haven’t mentioned, feel free to add on! I’ve enjoyed Squishmallows for a while now and I’m sad to see their leadership coming out on the side that’s committing war crimes on a daily basis, but this is a good time to discover new favorite plushie companies! And remember, money speaks loudly. Even if BDS hasn’t called for a boycott of Jazwares, it sends a message when sales start dropping for companies that support genocide. It’s a small thing, but the little things we do can add up!

francoupdates Franco opens up about his relationship with YN Messi in recent interview:
"I met her at an event in Argentina back in 2019. She didn't even know what DRS was back then and now she corrects my racing lines in the sim. We grew up together through all this - F3, F2, now F1. She's been there through the tough times, sleeping in paddocks, the uncertain seasons. The nepotism jokes are funny because if you knew how many nights we spent budgeting for the next race... Being Leo Messi's daughter was never part of our story. It was just YN and Franco, trying to make it work while chasing a dream and loving each other very much”

f1gossip"Yeah, no pressure right? But honestly, they're like my second family now. Leo's probably more nervous than me - he keeps sending me good luck messages. Thiago and Mateo have been explaining F1 to Ciro all week. And YN... well, she's in bossy mode so she's more focused on telling me where I'm losing time than giving good luck kisses. But having them here means everything." - Franco talking about his girlfriend's family watching him race in Qatar!
