In regards to the asking about family thing you reblogged, curious about any of your mega man muses and if they have anyone they might consider family? (Idk who to ask about specifically, theres a lot of choices and I'm unfortunately indecisive 😅)

On anon or not, ask my muse about their family. (Accepting!)

((Well, Centaur Man considers Dr. Bourlas' sister, Ariana, a family member. As for Scorpion Woman, she very much considers Plant Man her brother, and even refers to him as irmão, which as I understand translates to brother in Portuguese. (Maybe I should install Duolingo again and start a crash course in Portuguese and Greek? Get my ass back in my Spanish while I'm at it too, my abuelo wouldn't be proud of my slacking off lmao)

Anyway, Medley, even as Aviation Woman, never considered the other PWNs as siblings, and the same goes for all the PWNs. You know how most siblings fight would have each other's backs when things get tough? Not the case with the PWNs, they all hate each other.

And as for Craft Woman and Pyro Woman, I haven't put that much more thought into their familial relationships.))

okay as an admitted did-not-watch-NTTD'er who got, like, all of their info from uhh recappers, the wiki synopsis, the specific clips with Q I watched, and whatever I osmosis'ed from fics.

I finally watched the beginning of NTTD at @prismatic-bell's nudging. And I was like. Okay wait. wait wait wait. This is... well-written? And shot and directed & acted?? In a hollywood movie lmao?? Like. The way it's set up w Madeleine's backstory, and then the Bond & Madeleine stuff that does a much better job of establishing their relationship, the goooorgeous wide shots.

I admittedly was rather "I close my eyes I do not see" to a lot of canon - coming from partially a comics fandom background I'm very aware, well-versed, and well-practiced in the 'canon is your pick-and-choose buffet no need to feel like you have to 'respect' the 'sanctity' of 'canon' esp when it's Bad (like it contradicts other canon or you can just Tell this character was Not Written Well and it's like, here's what it could be that is better)' - and from opinions I saw on NTTD I was expecting to be very pick & choose about it.

But okay, wait. wait wait wait. It works. The beginning at least which I watched. Works. Like, it establishes a key character moment for Madeleine that Explains Everything about her behavior, actually - like she just like Bond is actually also very traumatized & has been locking it down/deflecting it vs processing it, and the whole like Vesper thing is (to me) very obviously her misdirecting Bond away from her own Goin Thru It. I can see how it can read as very suspicious to Bond esp with everything else but it, like, is a Narrative and Makes Sense for her character and Works. wild.

Even the Bond stuff makes a ton of sense. Like, when I hadn't watched it and was going off second & third hand information, one of the things I was hrrrm ?? about was the. How do you get from the guy who says "I miss you" at Vesper's grave, to the guy who put Madeleine on the train. The man who, even after finding out Vesper betrayed him, still wanted to save her? Would... send Madeleine away? In what, a fit of pique? Surely he's more of a "run to me and I will handle it" if it turns out not to be true or a "if it is, I'll handle it" kind of guy.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT IT WAS. YOU KNOW WHAT IT FUCKING WAS LMAO. I WAS MISLED BY THE FUCKIN. BILLIE EILISH SONG LMAO. The lyrics of it make it SOUND like it's a like "you betrayed/cheated on me how could I have ever trusted you" break-up song kind of situation. BUT IT ABSOLUTELY FCKN WASN'T LMAO.

It's like. two traumatized individuals who trauma-bonded and honestly maybe should have spent time apart healing/learning themselves again before re-evaluating if they think a relationship could work, but like. they both were Goin Thru It and let themselves get carried away with it ig. And then right when Madeleine was like. hm I've been Not Dealing with this a Lot (tbh her being a psychologist probably made it worse cuz I think it made her more effective at Not Dealing With It and deflecting/misdirecting, but like. I don't think she was doing it intentionally, I think it was just a "combination of circumstances" thing. But this also works cuz I think before the like why did Madeleine push him towards Vesper again even though he said she was in his past. And it's like. She was delaying dealing with HER shit and probably unconsciously deflected his attention by poking at waht she thinks is still HIS equivalent to her baggage) where was I. Oh yeah, Madeleine is like. hm. yeah. the whole letting go of secrets thing. I. need to come clean to him...

but then all of the Spectre stuff happens.

Even the him sitting in the car thing is soooo so so. Cuz Craig absolutely put his whole pussy in the acting for this scene. he's got that like. wrong side of overstimulated so you shoot past being in the zone and instead are zoning out lowkey thing going on, mixed with the like. agent faced with a hopeless situation Observing Everything still but like vaguely morbidly amused about it, probably what's running through the brain rn is "lmao, wonder which bullet will be The One" kind of deal. And cross-cutting the shooting & wide shots with the bells was *chefs kiss* genius.

Even Madeleine not managing to tell him was well written/paced. Cuz it was very believable that she (not trained for this) was scared/shocked & couldn't get a word out. Until the "JAMES. I'd rather die than have you think I--" and then the fucking. tragedy of the bad timing. god. And then even her not just saying it later is like, it all makes sense with the way it was paced, shot, & edited. It was beaaautiful oh man. This also where I was like. damn lmao. miscommunication in a movie where it. feels like it makes sense and isn't just a stupid macguffin lol??? In a hollywood movie?? wild

but yeah this is also where it was like. hey wait. the man who, in the face of sort of a morbid (passively?) suicidal emotional blowout due to the Everything, but was able to break through it when she got through to him enough for him to look at her, and her to cry & shake her head like no, it's not true/no don't do this/please/(w.e). and go, "Okay." and take action. How does he put her on the train??

BUT. BUT FUCKING. BUT THEN. MY GOD. *Actually* watching the fucking scene I was like. Ooooh. ough ough oh god. This isn't him vindicatively cutting her out of his life "the bitch is dead" style. This is his Vesper in the elevator cage moment. He's fucking drowning in the cage but he doesn't want to take her with him. He's locking her out of the cage. god.

And the fucking. devastation on his face while he's on the platform. THAT'S HIS FUCKIN. VESPER HOLDING HIM ONE LAST TIME AND SHOVING HERSELF TO TH EBACK OF THE CAGE AAARGGGGHH BARK BARK BARK

Which, a-fucking-gain. THEN MAKES THE NO TIME TO DIE SONG. ALL THE FUCKING MORE EGREGIOUS LMAO. "was I stupid to love you was I foolish to trust was it obvious to everybody else" WHAT ARE YOU ON. THIS IS A SHAKESPEAREAN TRAGEDY THIS ISN'T FUCKIN. 'THE BITCH IS DEAD.'

God this is like when ppl are convinced QoS was Bond going on a revenge rampage when he was (1) not even rampaging (2) not on a revenge quest/storyline - that was Camille's story!!!* caveat I did not watch QoS either lol, but I did watch a video essay breaking it down which I found Very Compelling and have since incorporated it into my worldview lmao. Like, in light of me actually watching the beginning of NTTD, and then it launching into the title sequence and the song. IT ACTIVELY. REWRITES HISTORY YOU JUST WATCHED ON THE SCREEN AAAGGGHHH BITE CHOMP KILL. IT UNDERMINES THE WHOLE. ALL OF THE WORK THE FILMMAKERS DID UP TO THAT POINT IN PLOTTING OUT ACTING OUT & ESTABLISHING THE STORY TO THIS POINT.

Like. The problem of the song isn't even oh it's a limited POV thing. IT'S NOT EVEN WAHT BOND'S POV WOULD HAVE BEEN/SHOULD HAVE BEEN BY THAT POINT. Again, this is the "the bitch is dead" edit of the scene, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED. THIS IS BOND LOWKEY SPIRALING AND LIKE. OVERSTIMULATED-EXTREME-EMOTIONAL-AMBUSH-IN-A-VERY-SHORT-TIME LOWKEY EMOTIONALLY SPINNING OUT. BUT THEN BREAKING THRU IT ENOUGH WHEN MADELEINE CALLED FOR HIM. TO LOCK HER OUT OF HIS SINKING CAGE. BRUH. BE SO FORREAL RN.

also lmao she clutches her torso WAY too high up, bruh that's her sternum not her belly... but ig the idea translates across still.

but yeah. god. And here I thought No Time to Die the song was just. boring & musically uninspiring. but no. it's so much worse lmao. god.

Scorpion Woman

Serial No: DAN -- 002

Age: Designed to be in her late 20's to mid 30's

Hobby: D&D

Scorpion Woman was created by Dr. Pedro Astil to aid in the study of more dangerous insects, such as tarantulas, black widows, scorpions, murder wasps, and what have you. She's very quiet and reserved, but she's filled with such genuine love and fascination and respect for these creatures... But that doesn't mean that, if given the choice between crushing the insect and watching a human get stung or bitten, she wouldn't crush the insect.

Her pincers are quite strong, and can easily cut through quite a lot of things, such as thick vines. Her scorpion stinger is capable of firing projectiles that contains a paralyzing toxin that leaves biological life unharmed. In robots, however, this can be damaging and acts like a poison almost, as well as freezing them in place for a short while, depending on a few factors.(Said factors are TBA). Much like her brother, Scorpion Woman also has a solar powered battery system, but this one is placed on her back, so in order to recharge, she lays down in the sun, which she loves to do. However, she does not do well in the cold, and tries to avoid it when she can.

She is considered a sister to Plant Man, and cares very deeply about her brother. She isn't one to fight, typically, but she will defend and protect the ones she loves.

You know Liu Kang must've had to do some DNA tinkering for the fire gene to show up because if he didn't, something like this would happen. I mean, if you are a cyromancers and your wife has no powers, aren't you gonna get pissed when the baby comes out spewing fire? He must've had to create something from scratch to give the gene merit so people are looking at Kuai crosseyed when the fire shows up otherwise this would happen.

Dad-Zero: I can't believe you cheated on me!

Mom-Zero: No I didn't!

Dad-Zero: Then why is Kuai breathing fire!? That child is not mine!

Little Bi-Han just looks confused in the corner as his parents are screaming at each other.

The thing is, MK1’s lore so far did not state that Bi-Han and Kuai Liang’s father was a cryomancer himself, nor what kind of element, if ever, had the mother, who too was an excellent fighter. All we know is that Lin Kuei practices cryomancy since Bi-Han’s ancestors settled Arctica and that presumably happened a long time ago.

Rain: How long has your clan practiced cryomancy? Sub-Zero: From the time my ancestors settled Arctika.

At the same time, we know Lin Kuei also specialized in different element(s) and pyromancy is their family guarded secret

Sindel: Your pyromancy is truly arcane. Scorpion: It is a closely kept family secret.

While Tomas was taught magic by clan’s Elder Arcanist

Ashrah: Who was it that taught you magic? Smoke: Xiaoqing, the Lin Kuei's Elder Arcanist.

So it is very possible that one of their parents was a pyromancer and the other a cryomancer or that a pyromancer (or person carrying pyromancer genes) married into the family in the previous generation(s) but their gene were dormant. Of course, Liu Kang is responsible for the change from ice to fire, but that doesn’t mean Kuai Liang is some unnatural occurrence as the clan is said to have ties to both elements. Also, there is a big chance that if there was no pyromancer in Kuai Liang and Bi-Han’s family, Sindel - as a person familiar with both of their parents - would point that out through intro dialogues. Instead she only praised Kuai Liang’s skills.

So I doubt the Grandmaster would have any reason to accuse his wife of cheating. Personally I think he was a pyromancer, and mother a cryomancer. What could explain why each brother connected stronger with a different parent, as I imagine sharing the same element makes it easier to bond.
