Mortal Kombat 1 Behind the Scenes AU: Why date a punk like him...
Author Note: A continuation to “Get. Lost.”, "Dating" & "Permission".
For context: Lin Kuei law forbid the younger son of Grandmaster to marry/be in relationship before the oldest (heir). But Harumi is visiting and Kuai Liang would like at least once asked her out officially so he is trying to get Bi-Han (aro & ace to the core) to fake date someone for a day so he could bend the law a bit without breaking directly tradition. Because of course Kuai Liang is all about tradition, whatever he likes it or not.
[Cage’s Mansion] [Waiting for Liu Kang] [Special Bonus] [Grandmaster’s commentary] [Climbing scene] [Madam Bo’s Inn] [Cage’s Mansion 2 (fire extinguisher)] [Medic] [Shang Tsung’s sad face] [Smoke’s Fall] [Scenography (1)] [Scenography (2)] [Show off!] [Favorite brother] [Climbing on the wall (nonsense)] [Tomas’ commentary] [Perfectly fine] [Sexy, sexy man~♪] [Brothers between filming - Scenography(3)] [Wrong team!] [Since when you two are friends?!] [I like being evil sorcerer more] [I forgot my line, sorry!] [Read the script Kuai!] [Get.

On the one hand, stop trying to make Hawke happen. The GA name is not the issue here. On the other, I’m so glad Mia was shown to be actively looking out for Connor and that we got an actual character interaction, not just action quips.
Of course Connor’s a bit fucked up at the moment, and is not taking Ollie’s actions well. He’s not had much more than that one evening on the beach to regroup since leaving Lazarus Island, and Mia would notice and not want to let him struggle alone. The Brothers Arrow are so important to each other, but Roy’s got rather a lot on his own plate - and Mia and Connor are family too.
#is there a group name for Connor and Mia?#GA2 and Speedy2 = Even Arrows?#Anyway Connor avoiding the difficult conversations about Ollie#about his maybe-bio sister#and his lifelong abandonment issues#is very chewy and very him#I also want to waffle about how Mia might feel about Cissie being confirmed as Ollie’s bio-kid if that comes through#probably pretty similar to Roy when Connor showed up and got the name and the respect while he was sidelined#green arrow#mia dearden#roy harper#connor hawke#oliver queen#ollie queen#Tuesday comics#wednesday comics#my dream for post-event GA plotlines: Connor and Mia head off on a Hard-Travelling Heroes road trip of self-discovery#and Roy moves the Titans to Star City#and they go find Cerdian and Robbie after their fleeting appearance in the Flash

A “strange game” in which "the only winning move is not to play."
Zeke ditches Marley AU
#i see u ‘zeke cannot function without some kind of Purpose that is greater than him in his life’#and i raise you ‘So I make his issues even worse by making him take the impulsive decision to DITCH IT ALL and RUN AWAY’#also that tarot is eight of swords reversed#signifies a release from self-limiting beliefs and a newfound sense of freedom#i think it would be funny to make zeke the one who gets ‘freedom’ when he doesnt really want it in contrast to eren who does#he kind of turns into this very mythical ‘will o’ the wisp’ figure back in marley like their lost up-and-coming commander#attack on titan#zeke jaeger#snk#aot#shingeki no kyojin#aot aesthetic#zeke yeager#character aesthetic#zeke au

the fact that bruce and batman are such distinct entities but also other times he's like "the batman is who I truly am, bruce wayne is a mask" but also batman is a curse but also but also but also
baby girl, WHY are you like this? see, this shit is why we had to drag out that zur en asshole arc for so long
he makes me mentally ill <3
He reminds me of those actors that act like they’ve been irrevocably changed and traumatized by their own method acting
Meanwhile some other heroes (dick for example) are like it really sucks not being able to tell normal people the full truth about my life and it makes dating rough, but it’s still doable
#ask#dc#if there’s one thing I love it’s a fucked up man#also kinda adore the set up with Hugo strange trying to figure out if Bruce is Batman#and Bruce’s internal conflict over it all when he realizes he doesn’t really know himself as Bruce#and Nightwing not knowing how to talk to Bruce who doesn’t remember Batman AT ALL#and Bruce being like that discomfort and confusion you felt? that’s how I feeel about myself#all the fucking time#Basicly Bruce having his crisis of self at his big old age that dick had at the end of new titans#when he realized he left little time for dick grayson#before realizing shit this is just who I am. I was Robin. I am Nightwing. I am dick. all that exists simultaneously inside me#though that did push into prodigal I think#not me rambling about dick in an ask about Bruce#my bad bestie#maybe Bruce just needs his white boy mission trip to figure things out#build a house or something

wrote a long thing about people not talking about rose's actions being spurred on originally by grief and how her grief was used to manipulate her until she turnt it to anger—the equivalent of a bandaid over a gaping wound, surviving but not living. but then realized. lol. who cares. (i do i care sooo much but. i am so shy. 👍)
#JUST THINKING ABOUT ROSE....#literally insane how tragic character lovers for dc comics never talk about her when shes so. and so. and ough.#the tragedy of losing her mother and the happy life they had. losing the titans and her adopted family. having slade as a father.#her grief that slade set up to manipulate her is what breaks her to finally take his sword and kill wade.#she wears the mask of her mother's murderer bc all she wants is a family all she wants is love but this is the closest version she can have#ALSO having the factor of how much she did. it was her own hand that stabbed out her eye in her desperation to be like slade.#to be like the only person she still has. to earn his approval and love. shes ruled by that fear and desperation which allowed slade to#control her because of the traumatizing losses she kept going through. the self shame and anger and disgust???#feeling insane thinking about her this is incoherent goodnight <3#ransom note

Thinking about Al and Ethan and Kronos again but mostly how it affected the rest of the demigods in the army
Al is one very popular demi lmao the gods exiled him in fear he would corrupt the rest of his siblings, he is listened to, he is respected, they trust their general etc etc
When it comes to everything else that doesn't directly involve Kronos that is.
Alabaster also, out of all named Ta demis, is the most loyal to Kronos (which is another can of worms I'm not getting into rn)
They do trust Al as a friend (He might be a general but he's still a kid like the rest of them) or to not push them hard or to joke around and help cover up it up when they make a mistake. When it doesn't involve Kronos.
It's common knowledge amomg the Ta demis that if you mess up enough to invoke Kronos's wrath you don't go to the general, you go to Ethan
Someone mentioned Al and Ethan being the good cop-bad cop in the army [I think it was bread(?) Hi bread] And yeah Ethan is the strict one, he's not the fun general but instead the stern lieutenant. He also is fully aware how dangerous Kronos is and can be. (Hello The Last Olympian and the amount of times Ethan got threatened on page)
So Ethan has arguably the one who will cover it up instead of telling you it will be fine and Ethan would probably get punished on behalf of who he's covering for
Of course the demigods trust Alabaster.
It's General Torrington they don't.
#pjo#alabaster torrington#ethan nakamura#kronos pjo#the titan army#titan army#smt smt Al being absolutely terrified of korno but also underplaying it and not realising that yes he is scared#and how that affects his relationships with Ethan and his siblings#and how Ethan sees Al undermine the danger korno possess and the risks the war actually has#Al being so sure of them being the heroes#sigh#I know I wrote smt similar in it's quicker and easier (to eat your young) but#Hecate siblings absolutely adoring eachother and having probably the most strongest sibling bond#despite the canonical kill to become the strongest thing#but also them walking on eggshells around Al#because they don't know when he's their brother Alabaster and when he's their general Torrington#the angst hurts me fr#</3#I want to shake Al by the shoulders and force some self reflection on him and wrap him in a blanket but#it's no fun like that sorry al I'll keep hurting you#pjo headcanon

I'm blaming the tags of @bi-hans (no, I'm not, I'm truly thankful for a good laugh!), so here comes a very quick sketch of Bi-Han's day care for Shang Tsungs XDDD Though we all know Sub-Zero has no patience for bullshit, so of course he would pick up his favorite (Lin Kuei version, I bet!) and move on 🤣🤣🤣
#mortal kombat#bi han#sub zero#shang tsung#all of them#i have no idea why bi han is such a magnet for shang tsungs but here we are XD#also sorry for the incorrect drawing#i did not joke with the quick haha#at first i wanted to draw titan bullying mk1 self but then decided nah mk1 is out there to kick his ass so i let him be mean#to titan shang tsung as a treat XD#seriously instead of calling a whole army of titans liu kang should ask titan bi han to come and solve the shang tsung problem#cienie's art

I think it’s interesting that when he’s in the red Gar sees Rachel with her purple/blue hair and not the white she’s had most recently
#part of me is wondering if it’s just a red image that’s conjured by his self conscious#or if she also has access and it shows her true self or something#titans hbo max#hbo titans#dc titans

Last Succession thought but .. Mattson owns Waystar so CEO is a much diminished more tenuous kind of power than Logan had. If it was Shiv or Tom, the CEO is beholden to Mattson or the board (the business stuff is still baffling) and can be replaced, right? Like it’s a big deal but sort of a temporary, easily toppled victory.
And at the beginning of the season, they were all fighting for this deal before Ken got a wild hair up his ass to keep it so .. hey, a win is a win guys lol
#succession#shiv is still the money bags in the marriage because or the deal no?#Tom will excel because he’ll be ruthless and do what Mattson wants but he’s doesn’t own waystar#he’s just got a big promotion but he’s not a titan#also I know the wild hair up Kendall’s ass turned out to be his entire self worth but there was a moment where the deal was the victory#spoilers

The New Titans run got so weird by the end though, especially 1992-93. Like that 9-part "Chaos" story arc that played out across the New Titans, Deathstroke, and Team Titans books – was sooooooo 90s. It was 90s in a way that reminds me of every preconception I had about comics in the 90s. (Not complementary.)
#new titans#new teen titans#the cyborg-centric story in 1989 is one of the last stories that has that classic titans feel to me#once they started the whole thing with donna's pregnancy it felt like a different book#i get it. we must change with the times. i'm just saying that sometimes the time's vibes are weird#one of the stories in the early 90s also involved another accident and reconstruction that made cyborg basically a shell of his former self#taking his humanity and personality out of the mix was one of the many things that changed the dynamic in a negative way#that break until 1999 really helped tbh because that tone was so weird and idk it just didn't feel as enjoyable to read#victor stone

I’d like to entertain and enliven you now with the saga of my Slut Era.
I’ve always been a serial monogamist and my shortest long term relationships clocked in at three years. So perhaps that’s why when I finally broke it off with my ex I went insane on dating. Part of it was definitely just that between anxiety and loneliness I wanted to fill up my time.
This happened when I was living alone for the first time, no roommates, just me and my little cat Leeloo. I didn’t want to come home to an empty house so instead I set up dates.
Most of these were disastrous. I’m not everyone’s cup of tea and I had a lot more first dates than second because they’d seen enough, including the one where people aggressively complimented me.
But after a few months I had four people I was seeing simultaneously. I was up front with all of them that things were not exclusive, and they all agreed, so no infidelity took place here, just a lot of hijinks.
Here’s who was on the dating roster:
• An apprentice woodworker that we’ll call Jill. I honestly thought at 26 years old that her being 21 wasn’t a problem age gap and I quickly learned that there was a vast gulf of both maturity and life experience between us. Jill described herself as “heteroflexible” and had just dumped her first boyfriend to flirt it up with me.
• A married woman looking for a friends with benefits. We’ll call her Alice. I insisted on meeting her husband first to be sure I wasn’t part of a cheating mess and he gave me his blessing when I stayed over at her house. Years later when he and Alice had divorced I would go on to sell him and his new fiancée an engagement ring and we both realized at the end how we knew each other and it was wildly awkward. Alice was nice, but a hardcore vegan who insisted I brush my teeth if I so much as ate string cheese before I could kiss her. She was also unhappy in her marriage and was feeling out if I’d want to get serious.
• A bartender dubbed Snakebites, so called because of her signature piercings. She cooked me a steak so raw it was still mooing and some of the best asparagus I’d ever had. In our singular sexy encounter she bit my nipple and I never got over it. Really don't bite someone if you don't know their preference and work up in pressure. We weren’t terribly compatible but neither of us were willing to admit it yet. Truthfully I considered still dating her solely because I desperately wanted her bathroom. It had all black tile, black toilet, black sink, a rain shower in the corner and a jacuzzi tub. I may not have loved her but god I loved that bathroom.
And finally,
• My beloved, who I would go on to marry, who was dealing with a lot of personal stuff at the time. Obviously that meant I liked them the best of all the people I was seeing because we were both disasters at the time.
So that’s the cast of this little misadventure. Now, our story begins with Jill.
Jill was someone who heightened my anxiety. Each of the three times she came to my home she brought and left more stuff. A self help book, a ramen kit, the entire Teen Titans collection of DVDs. It was like she was trying to move in. She also liked to deride my taste in things, frequently calling me a pleb when I mentioned a band or show I liked.
She was working on a gorgeous little decorative table in her woodworking program. The main wood for the top had a beautiful dapple of knots like jaguar spots, and when she showed me a picture I exclaimed how pretty it was.
��Do you want it?”
“Oh- I mean it’s lovely, I wouldn’t mind having it, but you should sell it and make some money!”
But she was adamant. She’d give me the little side table. At about this time, Alice was starting to get awfully lovey for a FWB. I knew she wasn’t happy with her husband but I also knew we were not a good fit. Fun fact: Alice and her husband were step siblings with a pretty hefty age gap. They got together when he stumbled upon a kink photo shoot she’d done with vegetables. None of their family was happy about the relationship but they weren’t related by blood so it was fine.
So I was fending off more overt romantic advances from Alice, and feeling increasingly like I needed to break things off with Jill. Snakebites wasn’t ever initiating communication and I decided to pull a lot of plugs at once.
I ghosted Snakebites, told Alice that I thought we should cool it, and in a move worthy of a rom-com I asked my beloved if I could pretend we were exclusive to put off Jill. They agreed and I texted Jill to let her know that I was no longer single.
I was not prepared for Jill’s response. She. Was. Devastated. She flew off the handle. She’d just been waiting for the right time to tell me how she felt about me! How dare I do this to her!
What about the table?!
“You should keep the table, it’s gorgeous, you’ll be able to sell it, but I don’t expect a free table.”
Silence met me after that text. I worried and fretted and eventually headed home.
There on my doorstep. The table.
It was a small little end table, reeking of oil and polish, but very beautiful. I brought it inside. The little drawer didn’t even have a knob or guide rails. But it did have a handwritten bill proclaiming that it was costing me $500.
“I can’t afford a $500 table, Jill!” I texted.
“Well you kept saying how nice it was. I spent a lot of time on it.”
“I’m not saying it’s not worth $500” (it wasn’t, it was a tiny side table made by an apprentice) “but I can’t buy a $500 table.”
“Make me an offer.”
I stared at the little table. I did actually like it, but I worried about the repercussions of entering into this deal. Hesitantly I typed back, “$300.” I didn’t think it was worth that much but I didn’t want to insult her too badly.
This suited her for the night. But the next day she informed me she needed a new bed, and that she’d take her $300 in credit toward a new mattress. I spent the whole next day basically wrangling with her over what she wanted and eventually she spiked back up to demanding $500 for the damn table.
“Let me just give it back,” I begged. It was not the first, second, or even third time I’d asked to return the thing but this time she finally relented and gave me her address. Since she lived with her parents still I’d never been over.
I called up my beloved and said, “Hey, I need moral support, can you run an errand with me?”
They agreed which is how we loaded up a self help book, a ramen kit, the entire Teen Titans DVD collection, and the table from hell into my little car together. Jill had said to meet her at one o'clock. I intended to drop everything off at noon and be done with this madness.
But while my beloved and I were on the doorstep leaving everything I heard, “Jill? You’re home early,” through the door. Her mom opened it to peer at us in confusion.
“I was just bringing Jill’s stuff back!” I chirped in alarm.
With little tact and a lot of speed we left her with Jill’s collection of things and then I sped out of there like my tail was on fire. I handed my phone to my beloved as I zoomed away instructing them to block Jill’s number. I was free. The tabletross around my neck had been returned.
It was about a month after that when my beloved and I officially began dating exclusively. I had wrapped up all my messy dating threads and it was a relief to be in a relationship again. They went on a trip to Mexico shortly after we made it official.
So I knew they were out of town. But next morning I walked out to my car and beheld a lipstick kiss pressed to the drivers side window.
I was petrified. I had just dumped three girls at once and had an extremely messy back and forth with one of them. Did I have a stalker?!
Of the girls, Alice seemed like likeliest candidate, being of a stronger lipstick variety girl than Jill or Snakebites. We had ended things a bit stiffly, but still cordial. She just laughed when I asked if she knew anything about it. “Nope,” she said, “but good luck.”
I’d rather have walked over broken glass then text Jill, and I’d firmly ghosted Snakebites so I was scared to reopen communication to ask if she was stalking me. I had to drop it. But it haunted me, that lipstick kiss.
For months I was jumpy, wondering which of my spurned lovers had done it. And why. Was it a threat? A goodbye? I lay awake thinking about it, worrying about how everyone I’d dated knew where I lived, which car was mine.
Finally, nothing else happened and I moved on. The kiss would remain a mystery and I had to be content with that.
It was a year later when I finally started filling my mom in on my dating escapades that I finally got closure. She was hooting and laughing as I went over the table debacle. Then I paused and added, “And then this kiss showed up on my car.”
“Did you like it?”
“What? No! I’m pretty sure one of them was stalking me! Who else would leave a kiss on my car?”
My mom started bellowing with laughter. “I did!” She wheezed.
Apparently. My mother had been driving by my place. And decided that a cute little gesture would be to leave me a kiss. And then decided to never mention it to me even though she’s never done anything like that previously.
“It scared the crap out of me!” I yelled while she collapsed with helpless laughter. “I thought I had a stalker! How could I possibly have known that was you?!”
“How could I have known you’d just broken up with three girls at once?” She wheezed in rejoinder and like. Fair play.
So that’s how my mom convinced me I had a stalker and I got out of buying a $500 table.
