JC2

J'étais tranquille en train de penser à Jésus Christ, sur le mode "vie réelle", "ce qu'il a vu et fait et dit et vécu", "etc". Rien de particulier.

Et je me suis entendu me demander : "Bon alors, de quoi je me souviens ?"

My friends convinced me to post my JC fanart here as well so here’s some stuff from the past few months

Omg mimic fan on the wild.. I am yet to catch up w book 2's ending (not that i mind spoilers tho) cuz I'd rather avoid the glitchy mess that's new stuff soon after release, but which chapter of Jealousy did you like the most dude? Also any favorite monsters on it?

oh my god omg amazing question hey. i wont spoil anything but i do recommend playing with limited graphics esp if ur shit cant handle it. its REALLY laggy and incredibly crowded. you might miss out on a few cool model details but its nothing you cant find on a youtube gameplay.

jc2 was peak. anyone who knows me knows that my isamu uchiumi special interest started with jc2. its so beautiful first of all, the graphics arent so heavily detailed that you lag, its a wonderful simplicity that i think was one of the last good things this game ever did. the concept of greed and jealousy being represented in hunger and gluttony, and then revealing to us that the starved-looking worshipper is actually the incredibly jealous senzai, it is GENUINELY the best single piece of symbolism in the mimic, and probably some of the only actually intelligent/profound non-upfront symbolism we get.

i love the ocean, i love fish, my nickname irl has been fish or fishie for years since i used to swim and like fish. i love jellyfish specifically, and i think the jellyfish that you see crossing the bridge into the restaurant (kuishinbo) are gorgeous. like i love them so much.

the gameplay for jc2 was also really fun the first time around, and still is. im autistic about this game and this chapter specifically, since january i mustve completed both normal and nightmare at least 30 times and have all the lanterns (also my favourites. ponpon lantern is so cute i love blue and it spins and bubbles.), so i am VERY biased. isamu is also my favourite character of all time, and i feel like this is where he belonged. id have liked to have seen maybe him growing gills as a gift from the ocean in c1 rather than it simply being his will to live (which is minimal. will expand on this point if you want), as it makes sense for his "in the sea" surname, his home is the sea. i have some genuinely serious analysis of jc2 if anyone is interested lawl

favourite monster is nagisa. i love her to PIECES. i know that all mimic monster designs are barely reworked "inspired" (mostly copied) designs (cough monster X, and enzukai is affectionately referred to as monster E by myself and a few fellow theorists). but holy shit. nagisa. shes so fucking cool. people who ive made to play the mimic have said that her design is incredibly interesting to them, and i think shes brilliant. also isamu was so fucking locked in for that ship bossfight hes the best ever.

honourable mention kid demon isamu. love he. the cuteness.

anygays i will be posting my review soon. its not an analysis, an analysis will be made in the coming week or so however, and it will be LONG. thank god for no word limit.

im active in The Mimic Community discord, specifically the lore and headcanons channel if youre interested in seeing me more often, username is the same, my nickname is "tara | #1 isamu tweaker" :3

All Confirmed Mk Timelines. Part 4

Since NRS has confirmed the multiverse I decided to make a long list of existing timelines using all non canonical endings. Plus extra timelines I’ve thrown in for fun.

Two important notes: Offshoots exist and timelines are given codes similar to DC’s worlds.

Chapter 4: Johnny Cage

#JC1 (Mk Ending and Mk2 Ending) Johnny Cage becomes the Champion of MK and makes a mk cinematic universe. (Similar to what he does in his own mk1 ending) Offshoots from this timeline have been known to exist.

#JC2 (Mk3 Ending) Johnny Cage after being restore back to life goes on a one way suicide mission to kill Shao Kahn and saves the world. But at the cost of his mortal body. After defeating the Emperor Johnny Cage returns to the heavens. Offshoots from this timeline have been known to exist.

#JC3 (Deadly Alliance Ending) Johnny Cage defeats Shang Tsung and Quan Chi in the events of deadly alliance and makes a movie out of it. 

#GJC1 (God Johnny Cage) (Armageddon Ending) After defeating Blaze Johnny Cage becomes a God and with the help of the Shaolin masters he becomes enlightened. Offshoots from this timeline have been known to exist.

#JC5 (Mk9 Ending) After defeating Shao Kahn Johnny Cage experienced a surge of uncontrollable green power. Raiden sends Johnny Cage to Orderrealm where he learns to  harness his powers. Unfortunately he ends up under the influence of Orderrelam and becomes a Champion for the Empress. Offshoots from this timeline have been known to exist.

#JC6 (Mkx Ending) Johnny Cage heads to Shang Tsung’s abandoned island and discovers the secrets to Edenian longevity. Curiosity and a spark of ambition gets the better of him. 

#TJC (Titan Johnny Cage) (Mk11 Ending) After defeating Kronika Johnny Cage becomes the Keeper of Time. Johnny resets history to normal NRS trilogy but with Sonya blade not meeting an early grave. May or may not be an older or younger cage. Offshoots from this timeline have been known to exist.

#JC7 (Mk1 final chapter) Johnny Cage is a member of the special forces. How this happens is up to debate and may result in offshoots. 

#TJC1 (Tarket Johnny Cage) Shang Tsung makes a Johnny Cage clone with Tarket features. 

#TJC2 (Tarket Johnny Cage) Johnny in mk1 gets inflicted with Tarket disease and turns into a monster. Offshoots from this timeline have been known to exist.

#BDJC1 (Black Dragon Johnny Cage) To get back at Sonya Kano kidnaps Johnny and brainwashes him into Black Dragon (Mk11 kombat leagues) Offshoots from this timeline have been known to exist including ones where Johnny joins the BD willingly. 

#GJC2 (God Johnny Cage) Raiden makes Johnny Cage alongside three other champions into his successors. (Raiden’s Mk9 ending)

#LkJC1 (Lin Kuei Johnny Cage) Kuai Liang offers to train Johnny in the arts of the Lin Kuei.

#RJC1 (Revenant Johnny Cage) Raiden is unable to stop the ritual and Johnny dies from his wounds and is reborn as a revenant. (Mk11 kombat leagues) Offshoots from this timeline have been known to exist, including timelines where Johnny becomes a revenant under different circumstances. 

#OWJC1 (Outworld Johnny Cage) Johnny Cage is born in Outworld and he becomes a well respected general with a sense of humor. He is a neutral character from his timeline and he replaces Reiko. 

#OTE1 (Osh-Tekk Empire) Johnny Cage comes from a timeline where Kotal overthrew Shao Kahn eons ago but inherited his lust for conquest. Having conquered earthrealm long ago Johnny is born an Osh-Tekk and is one of Outworld’s champions. He wears sunglasses to make himself look cool. (mk11 kombat league)

for @lavendergalactic's event - day 7: a character you would die for Vanilla icons

Vanilla was literally my favourite character as a child and she’s very very close to my heart today. Like. I don’t remember a lot of my childhood but I remember how much I loved playing this game because she was in it. I love my neurodivergent friend <3

Unfortunately I’m also very gatekeepy of this game because of her, since a lot of people who’ve actually played JC2 hate her. But hey. I love her so much, and she was a character who I connected to a lot. Still today, I see her like an extension of myself. So she’s dear to me. (And before anyone asks, no she is not a video game version of the vocaloid Gumi! In fact she appeared before Gumi did!)

Anyway, the event’s over now it seems. It was actually really fun, I really enjoyed taking part ^^ Thank you.

More fantastic work by D Sandy on Blue Sky. (original post in source). We are still just totally in love with this art work. The artist also does Digimon fan art which is great so go check them out!!

I feel like rambling a bit about a video game character I love so jebejnejd under the cut

Being neurodivergent, finding representation that feels like me can be difficult. However there’s one instance in particular where that clicked for me - Vanilla from Jade Cocoon 2. She’s presented as this oddball when it comes to the BeastHunters. While she’s considered cute (in a… somewhat creepy way by the BeastHunters) and innocent, Vanilla is very much portrayed as an outcast. She speaks differently in her slightly quick and eager voice, her word choices seem strange, and no one ever seems to be following what she’s saying.

I connected to Vanilla a lot when I was playing JC2 as a child because she seemed relatable. I talked quickly and I felt at times lonely - back in those days, making friends was so much easier. Vanilla in a way was a character I could project on, and I enjoyed seeing her appearances and battling her. To me she seemed like a perfect friend for me - the way she liked to go on about how much she loved her “Slimies” and her determination. She became my favourite character.

Years on, when JC2 is a game I haven’t played in a while, Vanilla occupies a strong place in my heart. With me realising I’m autistic, I’ve also latched that onto Vanilla as well as ADHD. She’s always been neurodivergent to me. I just didn’t know the words to convey that sort of thing. Since I loved Vanilla so much and she seemed great, I thought others who’ve played JC2 would love her too.

I was very wrong.

Watching Let’s Players, a theme became common to me. They disliked Vanilla. A lot. They called her “annoying”, “weird” and “slow”, insults you would expect a neurodivergent child to be labelled as. Some wished horrible fates for her just because of one time she battles the player. It felt so shocking to me. She hadn’t done anything wrong, she was in the supporting cast and a friend of the protagonist. All because she was “different”.

Did this experience make me happy Jade Cocoon is unpopular and a small fandom? Well, yes. Did it make me more gatekeeper-y to the fandom? Sadly it did. But it made my connection with Vanilla stronger.

In conclusion: I really fucking hate Let’s Players and Vanilla deserves the world
