for the character ask game: kuai, hanzo, bi-han, and smoke with 12, 15-20, and 22 :)

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

Kuai: I like to think that in the 2nd timeline, post-alliance, kuai wouldve unknowingly taken some inspiration from hanzo's leadership of the shirai ryu to lead his own clan, reforming a lot of stifling rules to establish more of a community within the lin kuei members.

Hanzo: And similarly, especially after the trauma of having lost his entire clan, hanzo wouldve also unknowingly picked up a few things from kuai to lead the new shirai ryu, but rather than making changes to his clan's rules, he's doing most of the work on HIMSELF to lead it more "efficiently" and avoid past tragedies from happening again. Which, if mk11 didnt happened, would have resulted in both clans being similar enough that they have no issue partnering and temporarily switching members for missions, and, should it ever come to that, could even be merged as a single clan (as they once were after all), all thanks to the efforts of their grandmasters.

Bi-han: In the 1st and 2nd timeline, I wanna think bi-han initially did wanted to take the masters' attention and implied abuse away from kuai by being a cocky (but talented) little shit, but over the years the act became who he is as a person as he rose through the ranks to become the lin kuei's best assassin.

Smoke: 2nd timeline smoke literally Came Back Wrong, its impossible to tell where tomas the human boy sacrificed by a cult ends and where enenra the smoke demon begins, is he a human posessed by a demon? or a demon with a human's memory? He is neither completely from earthrealm nor the netherrealm, he belongs nowhere, hence why he has found a home in, and is extra protective of, the few friends he has made.

15. What's your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn't matter if it's canon or not.)

Subscorp for kuai and hanzo, Bireena for bi-han, and I guess Subsmoke wins by default for tomas (obv not the mk12 one). Im a basic bitch what can I say.

16. What's your least favorite ship for this character?

Everything else, im not a multishipper

17. What's a ship for this character you don't hate but it's not your favorite that you're fine with?

Again I guess I'll go with subsmoke

18. How about a relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire?

Kuai and hanzo in the 2nd timeline over the course of three games... pretty good👍 (<- rewrote my brain chemistry). Bi-han and hanzo's rivalry is great. Smoke is underutilized but I do love that he and kuai will be friends in every timeline

19. How about a relationship they have in canon that you don't like?

EVERY relationship they all have could be better bc sadly we get our storytelling from a fucking fighting game, but I want kuai to have a better (not necessarily more positive) dynamic with frost, I want hanzo and harumi's relationship to be done justice, I want bi-han to have his childhood as well as kuai's explored and their history toward each other as brothers deepened (1st and 2nd timeline ESPECIALLY bc man. fuck mk12) and I want smoke to form one meaningful relationship that isnt tied to kuai.

20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?

Kuai: kitana

Hanzo: harumi/kenshi/jax/sonya (legends). For the loner of mk, he sure has a lot of bestie potential

Bi-han: sareena (the brotherhood of shadows really)/sektor & cyrax/fujin (I stand that he and fujin would have the funniest dynamic, especially as noob saibot. I want them to have a 80s buddy cop-like adventure together)

Smoke: jade/reptile/johnny

22. If you're a fic reader, what's something you like in fics when it comes to ths character? Something you don't like?

WHEN ITS WRITTEN BY MY FRIENDS honestly my wants are simple: I just like when theyre written as adult men raised in a very isolated at best, oppressive at worst (for the lin kueis in particular) environment with lots of unadressed trauma, I also dont like when theyre written as TOO openly romantic, these four men are aaall about repression of feelings (hanzo a little less so) so it'd all be about the subtle, little things. and pining for ages.

for the ashrah post: im pretty sure the "recovery" and "steps" are specifically referring to johnny going through rehab (most likely for alcoholism, but possibly for some other drug addiction). i know past games have also mentioned/implied that johnny's gone through rehab (such as one intro with jacqui in mk11 where she references the "twelve-step" program started by alcoholics anonymous) so that seems to be a recurring aspect of his character

I had to look up this intro, admittedly, and wow. I don't know how I've not seen it after all this time. interesting.

I remember his ending in MK11 very vividly, but I honestly didn't think about it for MK1 since he drinks multiple times in the story mode. he drinks what I think is whiskey when he's arguing with his wife (and even if it's not whiskey, it's definitely alcohol), and I think he drinks wine at the dinner in Outworld (if he and Shao are drinking the same thing). he then turns around and asks Liu Kang for a martini when he and the others get back to Earthrealm. it's never in excess, and we don't see him drunk, but he still drinks all the same. alcoholism makes sense with his characterization in past games as well.

my thing is like, if he's gone through the 12-step program for alcoholism, why is he still drinking? wouldn't he be worried about relapsing and falling back into that addiction? I suppose it's possible that he has the self-control and confidence to do it safely, but I'm not sure. that's why I'm leaning toward it being something drug-related rather than alcohol.

I doubt we'll ever find out definitively. it's still interesting to think about all the same!

Billy: Nothing is more disappointing than getting into a piece of media and realizing it's not even gay.

Matt (sipping iced tea): They don't even have homoeroticism.

WIP WEDNESDAY

Tagged by @theelderhazelnut last week but until last week I didn't write anything in several weeks, possibly a month even. Anyway...

Also special thanks to @ash-shark and @crowsnhoes for the help and privilege of writing their oc's

Sabbia would look away, shugging. Muchacha walks out and heads off all the way back to her home, slightly wobbling around as she walks through the streets. As she roams the streets, she overhears a conversation between two people, one in a purple cape and one with a raspy voice. She hides behind a wall, listening closely as she shakes her head. 

HAVIK: Now then, do you remember what I told you?

JAY: Be gay, do crime?

Havik’s eyebrows drop, as he facepalms.

HAVIK: The OTHER thing I told you?

JAY: Oh. Yeah, I do.

They said, taking a strange amulet out of their pocket. Then they put it back and looked back at Havik, who handed Jay a strange looking device.

HAVIK: When the time comes, tomorrow at high noon, you will toss this in the palace throne room and get out as fast as possible. Understood?

Jay nods, putting it in her adventure satchel. Havik puts his hand on their shoulder. Muchacha squinted, and turned away as soon as her eyes met Havik’s. Jay looks at Havik in the eyes as he looks away.

JAY: Something wrong, pookie?

Havik snaps back, tuning over to Jay.

HAVIK: Oh, i-its nothing. Just stick to the plan.

Jay nods, and turns away from the kleric of chaos.

HAVIK: Wait, Jay, before you go…

Jay turns, and Havik gives them a big hug as he whispers into his ear.

HAVIK: Stay safe, and may chaos be with you.

Havik and Jay then walk off in different directions as Muchacha walked off while looking back at them.

@bluehairedspidey here's part of that request you wanted. Ship art on its own is challenging for me, but it's even harder when pinterest only has references of skinny, young dudes 😭

But, I made do with what I had

I'm honestly afraid to finish it for fear that the line art might make it worse. I really tried with Bo Rai Cho's body, and found it fun to get out of my comfort zone with it. While not the best, hopefully it gets the point across

Random OC dump, here's a werewolf from Vaeternus named Connla featuring @bluehairedspidey's Outworld Actor OC. Made up a bunch of lore that her clan was basically treated as hunting dogs on Vaeternus and get tricked into servitude with Quan Chi after the merge with Outworld lets them escape their vampire overlords.
