Today's been a tiring day.
#suen doing domestic things on his off days <3#cooking up a new recipe he read from a book#collecting some herbs from his small makeshift garden out back#sewing up some of his clothes that have holes in them#sharpening his kunai's and kitchen knives

yunaka fire emblem has rekindled my desire to buy a big cool knife
#sadly the only large knives that are purchaseable are either A: faux-medieval and kind of lame; or B: faux-''tactical'' and EXTREMELY LAME#sometimes girls desire weaponry for chuuni reasons okay#like. for example. considering learning how to cast aluminum and making naruto kunai to play with

@tobi-tidalwave
my brain STILL cannot comprehend that these Kunai aren't hitting each other so the question is, and not to be horny on main, what else can those fingers do?
#no no it's not impossible#if you'd look closer you'll notice how the fingers bend a lot#and they bend in such a manner so that when one finger is unclenched the other is bent.#why is that important? you see#it is done for fingers to dodge the spinning knives#when the knife is near the finger bends and retreats from its position so it wouldn't be in the trajectory of the kunai and get sliced off#and when the knife passes the finger gets back to its rightful place#this is true for both fingers#SO IT IS POSSIBLE#conclusion: kakashi has godly skills and he's the sex symbol of the century

Tip for writing ninjas
Remember that no matter what, if an object exists a ninja would use It, Ninjas will use anything and everything in Their enviroment
#Ninjas#writing tips#adding very specific tags to this post because I think It's funny#Remember that shurikens were not thrown to hurt people but as a distraction#If you want to use Shurikens as weapons You should have It with the spikes pointing out inbetween the fingers#Also Kunai were less like knives and more like shovels or spades#Also caltrops were dropped to restrict the enemies movement not to ward of chasers

Naruto redesigns of team 8 and 10!
Just realized that my preference for team 8 shows… oops?
This was mostly just to give them battlefield appropriate clothes, because you can’t convince me it’s a good choice to go in a CROP TOP in a place where KNIVES are about to be thrown around????? Like no? It’s just never a good idea. Also putting your hair up in a way so that it can’t be grabbed is a good idea. You can wear your iconic ponytail in the safety of your home, not on the battlefield!!! Yes I am very upset at the clothing choices made in this show, how did you notice?
(Just realized Choji has all the things I just complained abt… but I hc him being so op that kunai can’t enter his skin and no one is strong enough to pull his hair ok)
Anyways thanks for reading my rant and see y’all again in like six months when I have something I’d like to post✌️
#naruto#team 8#aburame shino#shino aburame#hinata hyuuga#hyuuga hinata#kiba inuzuka#inuzuka kiba#ino yamanaka#yamanaka ino#nara shikamaru#shikamaru nara#choji akimichi#akimichi choji#redesign#naruto redesign#kinda?#most of them are kinda the same ig#but still#art#my art#team 10#this is mostly abt ino btw#you simply can’t go into the BATTLEFIELD with a crop top… sorry queen😔#and that ponytail is going to be your death guaranteed#maybe put it up in a bun while you’re out?#the hyuuga are the same#miracle they’ve survived this long really

Solo Mission
Platonic Yan Rottmnt x Sibling Reader
“No. And that’s final.” Raph sternly determined, looking down at you with crossed arms and a frown. “I barely let Mikey go out on his own mission. But you? Not in a million years.” “Why?!” You outrageously exclaimed, obviously upset by the stubbornness of your older brother. “I know how to take care of myself!-” “No. You don’t.” Raph interrupted you, “you don’t know how to fight. You don’t know how to defend yourself-” “Yes I do!” You took out your own weapons, your kunai knives. Small sharp throwing knives you used to defend yourself. Your brothers begrudgingly gave you a weapon to defend yourself, after you begged for one, making the compelling argument of possibly needing something to defend yourself with when they weren’t around.
“I helped you guys with Meat Sweats, Hypno, Big Mama, AND Draxum. I can handle a solo mission!” “What’s going on over here?” You and Raph looked over to see Leo, leaning on the wall and looking over at you and Raph in puzzlement. “Lunch is also ready by the way. Mikey made lasagna.” At the mention of his name, Mikey’s head peeked over from the next room where the kitchen was. “Food’s ready!” Raph let out a huff from his nose, looking back at you with narrowed eyes, his decision unwavering. “No solo missions. Not until you’re ready.” You scoffed, watching as he walked away to the kitchen, Leo shortly following after him giving you one last curious glance. You already knew he would ask Raph about your argument while you weren’t there, which made you even more irritated. You weren't a defenseless child. You knew how to use your weapons. You could totally complete a solo mission all by yourself, without your brother’s help. It enraged you how many times you had brought up the possibility of a solo mission to any of your brothers, and they all shot it down with the only argument being ‘you’re not ready.’
“You alright?” You looked up at Mikey, your cranky mood slipping as your face softened towards him. You let out a sigh, feeling the anger lingering. “I’m gonna eat lunch in my room.” You muttered, walking past him without another word. You went to the kitchen, wordlessly grabbing a plate from the cabinets. Raph and Leo were there as well, and you shivered as you felt them glance at you. You heard fragments of their conversation, quiet whispers from mostly Leo. You sent them a glare while they weren’t looking. You knew they were talking about you, and your previous anger sparked up again. You made sure to be extra loud, closing the cabinets with a thud and quickly scooping a portion of Mikey’s homemade lasagna on your plate before storming to your room. Your feet slightly stomped against the floor, speed walking to your place of comfort.
You threw the curtains, which acted as the door to your safe space, closed once you entered. You sat on your bed with your head laying in your palm. You honestly weren’t even hungry at the moment, Raph’s words annoyingly repeating itself like a broken record in your mind. He would never let you go on your own mission in a million, he had said, you weren’t ready. You put the plate of food on your bedside table, afraid you might somehow break it out of anger if you held it any longer. Today, you would prove your brothers wrong, you decided. You would go on your own solo mission and come back, unscathed. ‘But what would the mission even be?’ you thought, looking around your room and hoping to gain some kind of idea as to what you could do.
Your eyes landed on a framed photo on your desk, your whole family, including you, smiling at the camera happily. That picture was taken before New York was filled with dangerous mutants. Before your brother’s forbid you to go outside of the lair alone. Your eyes landed on your father, suddenly gaining an idea as to what you could do on your solo mission. You bolted out of your room, running through the kitchen and ignoring all the confused glances from your brothers as you sprinted to your dad’s room.
“Dad!” You suddenly yelled, starting him and almost making him drop his snack. “Green! You almost made me drop my hot soup!” “Sorry, dad.” You apologized quietly, glancing back at the door connecting the room to the kitchen and making sure your brothers couldn’t hear you. You scratched the back of your neck. “I was wondering if you needed me to run any errands for you on the surface.” “Errands?” Your father suspiciously questioned, and you prayed he wouldn’t be as protective as your brothers. “Yeah! Like, do you need me to pick up any snacks or food for the kitchen.” Splinter hummed, scratching his chin. “Well, I could go for some cake right now. And I’m on my last slice at the moment.” “I can get you a fresh one from the bakery! I-It’s not far from here.” “Hm. I suppose it would be nice. Thank you, Green.” “Your welcome, dad!” You hastily yelled, speeding out of the living room and the kitchen.
Your excitement from finally leaving the lair to complete your first solo mission was through the roof. Before you knew it, you had already pushed off the manhole that led into your home, with a bit of struggle. Once you made it outside, you put it back into place, running to the streets. You had dressed for the occasion, of course. You wore a baggy hoodie and some baggy pants that hid you hoped hid you well enough.
Your pace slowed as you stopped in the middle of the sidewalk, looking around at your surroundings in amazement. It was all the same as when you would go out with your brothers. The same bright lights. The same small amount of people still walking around at such a late time. The same cars that rode through mostly empty streets. But at the same time, it felt so different. It all came with an overwhelming sense of exhilaration and freedom, like you could do whatever you wanted. With that, you happily skipped through the sidewalk, ready to get your dad some fresh cake from the bakery and complete your first ever solo mission.
God, you were going to love rubbing this in your brother's faces.

Bi han x female reader x Kuai liang
Summary: Bi han and Kuai liang are both with liu Kang gathering champions and reader is one of them. When liu Kang first knocked on the reader's door and answered that is when they could not stop looking at you. The reason why liu Kang chose the reader is because they are skilled in various types of martial arts, know how to make a lot of poisons,skilled in weapons,and are very smart. They both fall for the reader,but the reader is oblivious to this and is not interested in relationships anyway,all she wants is to get stronger and make new friends.
- If you know the part in the game where Johnny cage meets them. This is what I want the request to be based on.
Thanks if you can do this 😄
A/N: “this is no prank” 🤣🤣🤣 Anyways this is kinda how my bf and I first met/acted in a zoom class so yeah…🤣🤣🤣 also this might be my favorite part aside from Tomas’ entrance in the game cause damnnnn he fineee😵💫😵💫😵💫 Reader is a little based off Kiriko from Overwatch!! (I play her so I know her design/lore)
Kitsune of… Love?!
That night…
It had been a long night… and it couldn’t possibly get any worse, at least that’s what you had been hoping for. Your night was just perfectly annoying… because of one fanboy asshole and another one who was chasing around said fanboy. The one who had been holding your blade named Sento was face first into the marble flooring, his mouth shut with makeshift gags. He certainly wouldn’t shut up as soon as you beat his ass. So, you tied his arms behind his back and left him face first on the ground. The other had been more fortunate, only getting knocked out and tied to one of your dining room chairs. You didn’t dare ask the one who wouldn’t shut up and certainly couldn’t ask the knocked out guy. Surely it couldn’t get worse right?
Wrong
There was knocking on the door, so you sighed before picking up three kunai’s off the floor and holding them between your knuckles on your dominant hand. The other, empty in case someone dared to jump through the door as soon as you opened it. You opened it slightly having one eye peeking out into the street to see who it was. A man with long black hair and glowing white eyes greeted you, a smile as his two companions stared at you in curiosity.
“Y/n! It’s very good to see you. May I come inside?” He asked as his one hand moved to its right and in an ‘opening’ manner
Your guardians, may their souls be blessed wherever they were since they moved after you left home, raised you with manners and how to behave to guests, because “heaven forbid you decided to be a wild woman in your adulthood”. At least that’s how it was phrased as you were a little girl. You opened the door, much to your inner voice’s displeasure, and stared at the three men walking in. The one with white eyes stared at the man on the ground and then to the one strapped into the chair. A few of your weapons scattered about the living room stuck in the walls and dug into lots of your furniture. One of the men, wearing a blue gi and forming ice at his fingertips, stared at you as you walked around the room plucking out kunai’s, darts, and throwing knives from the walls.
“What in the name of the Elder Gods happened here?”
“Relax Bi Han. She’s not a threat.”
“Lord Liu Kang… who is she?”
You ignored their conversation, putting a hand on the chair and dragging it over to these new three men. It was heavy, looking to your side as you saw the one with bright white eyes look over the man passed out on the floor at his feet.
“My. You took down Johnny Cage… I’m impressed.”
You looked behind you, locking eyes with the other two men who stood behind you a few feet away, seeming to be ready to attack at any moment.
“The idiot wasn’t smart enough to do more research.”
“That’s Johnny for you.”
The one with white eyes took a step in for direction, making you take one back and ready a kunai. The one in blue made his move and charged before anyone could say anything.
“Bi Han! Stand down!”
The one named Bi Han froze, just as one of his hands was nearly going to grab you by the neck and throw you backwards. He grunted, walking to the other men and stood there with his arms crossed.
“Why are you here? How do you know my name? How did you find me?”
Granted, a mansion in Los Angeles surrounded by walls and fences next to a mountainside is the best spot but you sort of ‘earned’ this one. Who were you to say no to a glorious house you didn’t have to pay for.
“My name is Liu Kang, Protector of Earthrealm and god of fire. You, Y/n, are one of its champions.”
“You must be mistaken. I don’t know who or what you’re talking about. Perhaps you’re talking about needing a weapon of sorts?”
“No. I’m talking about you. You don’t remember us but trust me, I know a lot about you.”
He looked to the two men you’d beaten before he got here. One was named Johnny Cage, a massive fanboy of yours and he wasn’t the only one. The other, as you found out before making him pass out, was Kenshi Takahashi, a man also on the hunt for you. It wasn’t that you were in danger. No no no… they were the ones who were in danger.
“Alright then God of Fire… tell me something only you and I would know.”
“Your secret behind your prowess of your skills is that you are born from a family of healers, your parents having raised you in kinjitsu and using your Kitsune guide to harness your strength. You said you were destined to be a healer since your grandmother first taught you to start healing someone.”
You froze, never having told anyone this story of yourself to anyone… only keeping the darkness of your past behind you and try to forget it. This man was right, you’d been a healer and also a curser, someone who dabbled in poisons and deadly smaller weapons.
“How do you know that?”
“I know lots of things about you Y/n. I know of who you used to train with as a child as well. I know a lot more… if you care to hear about it.”
“Is this blackmail? So I do whatever you want me to do? No. I’m not like that. I’m better than that. You can’t control me with what you claim to know.”
“This is no blackmail Y/n. Trust me, I’m only here as a friend, just like how I’m here for Kenshi and Johnny.”
Bi Han moved past Liu Kang, readying an icicle spear with his hands ready to attack.
“Bi Han don’t.”
“She won’t listen to reason and I intend-“
You quickly shot a dart into Bi Han’s neck, seeing his expression change to fear as he fell onto his back and didn’t move once he hit the floor. Liu Kang just stood there with his arms crossed, holding back a laugh.
“By the Elder gods what did you do to him?”
You dusted off your shoulder, just to flex on Bi Han who lay paralyzed on the floor.
“Easy. Wolfbane. Paralysis and numbness, just below the lethal amount. Had I put any more and he’d be shitting himself and puking his guts out. He should’ve listened to you and not moved. Just give him Thyme and Lamb’s Creat in a wine. He’ll be fine in a few hours… maybe more.”
Liu Kang chuckled, leaving Kuai Liang sweating as he felt fear creep up his spine at the fear this woman in front of him radiated.
“There’s our classic Y/n I know. Care to follow us back home?”
You paused for a moment, thinking about whether or not the consequences of your actions would affect you. Surely nothing bad could come of this right?
Many, many months later…
Yeah… you didn’t regret meeting the other Champions. Raiden and Kung Lao were so happy to have you as a mentor, granted you aren’t much older than them. They watched you fight with such awe. It was almost like they regarded you as an equal to Liu Kang. You were strong, beating the both of them and Kenshi and Johnny again. You could train all day every day, as long as you didn’t hurt yourself. It was fun being able to get stronger in a way you never could as a child. All you had were two trainees you had grown alongside. It felt so relieving, being able to get better without anyone stopping you and now having an occasional “fan” watching you.
“You sure like to keep that blade don’t you now Johnny? You better not lose it, it’s still mine.”
“Yeah yeah I got it. Don’t break the sword.”
You rolled your eyes as Johnny and Kenshi walked away, going off to find Geras and Liu Kang, as they had a mission for the two men, along with Raiden and Kung Lao. Both weren’t happy and they’d much rather train with you, but they couldn’t say no to Liu Kang.
“Be safe and don’t do anything stupid.” You answered back
You went back to your training against the floppy dummy behind held in front of you with a stand. You’d purposely brought your dull knives on this occasion, since wearing down your good pairs would be pointless. As of now, you’d only lost one throwing knife since you’ve been here, having it get frozen and broken by Bi Han.
“You seem bored.” A voice called behind you
You looked behind you, seeing both Kuai Liang and Bi Han strutting up to you, specifically noticing Kuai Liang’s eyes focused on you. They seemed excited.
“Would you like someone to train with?”
“Or two?”
Sure? Why not indulge in showing off to the brothers? After all nothing bad could happen from this!
Wrong again…
Yep. That was a bad idea. It wasn’t even five minutes before Bi Han started correcting you, and you could see Kuai Liang cringing in the corner.
“Now do this… put this here-“
“You can stop overcorrecting brother.”
Bi Han shot his brother a look, Kuai clearly mad at something as well.
“I’m just making sure she’s fine.”
“I’m sure she can handle herself. She did beat you.”
You let out a small laugh as Kuai’s eyes settled to you, something comforting and warm inside them. Bi Han then turned his head to face you, you felt like winning against Bi Han might’ve been a really good thing. His ego was as large as he was, and it needed to get cut a little.
“Oh shut up little brother. You’re one to talk.”
Kuai playfully shrugged and moved to be by your side, turning you around so your attention was now on him. You could see Bi Han glare at his brother, then had a soft smile when he turned his head to you.
“Come on Bi Han. Let’s do this together.”
“Together? Why would I share a student with you?”
“Because we both can teach her something.”
“Oh please brother, like you have anything to teach that I didn’t learn. You and Tomas both. After all, I am Grand Master and leader of the Lin Kuei. What can you do that I can’t?”
“Not have my head up my ass like you.”
Alright time to go. You closed your eyes, shifting your hands into a ninjitsu symbol and felt yourself turn into air. You needed to be somewhere, anywhere away from these two. Maybe by sheer coincidence, you came stumbling into the room stumbling into Liu Kang, Raiden, and Tomas.
“Oh! Y/n! What brings you here?” Raiden asked
“Please don’t let them-“
“I’ve got you. Take this, I can distract them.”
Tomas threw you a smoke bomb, just one for you to escape and hide from his brothers. Raiden followed as he and Liu Kang let Tomas walk ahead.
“I really can’t believe I’m in a family with those two.”
To be continued….?
A/n: yeahhhhhh I’m sorry I’ve been taking so long I swear I’m working on them. Life’s been really shitty over the last 3 weeks so yeah… I’m mega unmotivated🥲 Anyways… PLEASE DON’T SPOIL DLC CAUSE I HAVEN’T PLAYED IT YET!!! Thank you, goodnight! Hope you enjoyed!

Rise Characterizations Pt. 7!!!!!!!
Well as per the poll I put up ages ago (uni caught up to me ah), here is all I've compiled on our favorite foot clan recruit.
Cassandra Jones
Language Habits:
Verbalizes her attacks, i.e. "knife throw"
Uses "Foot Clan" as a battle cry
Grunts a lot when she moves (very verbally reactive when fighting)
Punctuates her attacks with "hiya!"
Tendency to "Ha-ha!" when she's satisfied with an attack
Uses a lot of formal language, with rare instances of Japanese mixed in
Eloquent in her dramatism, think clinical words with dramatic intention "vanquish his soul to the depths of oblivion"
Calls both Foot Lt. and Foot Brute "Sensei"/"Senseis"
Personality:
Really, really intense. She's always at 110% energy.
A talented warrior. She's familiar with a lot of the weapons she's handed, and has stated she's been in the Foot Clan since she was young.
Violence-oriented. A lot of her dialogue and action is centered on crushing her foes, so she's motivated by the thrill of combat
Loyal to the core. No matter what cause she's gunning for, she's there until it succeeds. Even if it takes over her entire being.
Fanatic. One of the most loyal and well-versed Foot Clan members, despite only being a low-level recruit.
Holds a grudge. When Cass remembers a name she won't forget it. Mainly Jocelyn, who she laments her jealously upon often.
Ritualistic in place of efficiency. Cass always does things in the way she deems "right" or how she was taught they were done, even if it takes longer than usual, until she is shown a better way to do them.
Eager to prove herself. Cassandra is always looking for opportunities to prove herself, whether that be the Foot Clan by volunteering to go on every missions, or to the world by world domination via brownie sales.
Miscellaneous:
Prefers to be called "Casey" by her friends
Has been in training since she was seven
Carries kunai knives on her
Tends to prefer fighting with spears
As shown in posters in her room she enjoys hockey
Also her room is spartan clean and tidy
Later I'm planning on posting about the Foot Clan as a whole, which I will link back here later since I think it will be helpful to the background of her character!!!

The Battle of the Tenaru, August 21, 1942
by Robert Leckie
A helmet for my pillow,
A poncho for my bed,
My rifle rests across my chest-
The stars swing overhead.
The whisper of the kunai,
The murmur of the sea,
The sighing palm and night so calm
Betray no enemy.
Hear! river bank so silent
You men who sleep around
That foreign scream across the stream-
Up! Fire at the sound!
Sweeping over the sandspit
That blocks the Tenaru
With Banzai-boast a mushroomed host
Vows to destroy our few.
Into your holes and gunpits!
Kill them with rifles and knives!
Feed them with lead until they are dead-
And widowed are their wives.
Sons of the mothers who gave you
Honor and gift of birth
Strike with the knife till blood and life
Run out upon the earth.
Marines, keep faith with your glory
Keep to your trembling hole.
Intruder feel of Nippon steel
Can't penetrate your soul.
Closing, they charge all howling
Their breasts all targets large.
The gun must shake, the bullets make
A slaughter of their charge.
Red are the flashing tracers,
Yellow the bursting shells.
Hoarse is the cry of men who die
Shrill are the woundeds' yells.
God, how the night reels stricken!
She shrieks with orange spark.
The mortar's lash and cannon's crash
Have crucified the dark.
Falling, the faltering foemen
Beneath our guns lie heaped.
By greenish glare of rocket's flare
We see the harvest reaped.
Now has the first fierce onslaught
Been broken and hammered back.
Hammered and hit, from hole and pit-
We rise up to attack!
Day bursts pale from a gun tube,
The gibbering night has fled.
By light of dawn the foe has drawn
A line behind his dead.
Our tanks clank in behind him,
Our riflemen move out.
Their hearts have met our bayonet-
It's ended with a shout.
"Cease fire!" -the words go ringing,
Over the heaps of the slain.
The battle's won, the Rising Sun
Lies riddled on the plain.
St. Michael, angel of battle
We praise you to God on high.
The foe you gave was strong and brave
And unafraid to die.
Speak to the Lord for our comrades,
Killed when the battle seemed lost.
They went to meet a bright defeat-
The hero's holocaust.
False is the vaunt of the victor,
Empty our living pride.
For those who fell there is no hell-
Not for the brave who died.
