Im so obsessed with the nonsexual intimacy headcannon between reader and Jax. They are SO good! You're wonderful at writing Jax as well, it feels v in character!! (Even if we only have one ep. :P)
If you like, I would love to see your take on Jax with a reader who makes stuff to show affection. Clothes, art, ect. ect.
If not, that's fine! I love reading through your blog enough on its own, haha!
Jax with a gift-giving affection s/o
warning(s): none A/N: You can't tell me Jax wouldn't get irritable during craft time, patience isn't his strong suit in this situation and he'd definitely overreact if something wasn't going as planned. It's craft time baby, not nuclear codes, you can breathe baby.
Jax isn’t the biggest fan of physical affection, he can but there’s a limit to how much he’ll tolerate.
Being shown your affection by handmade gifts? Well, he’s not used to receiving stuff like this but it’s an absolute breath of fresh air to the idea of being touched all the time.
If you’re his s/o then he’s a lot nicer about the stuff you make him, even if he doesn’t know what it is or have a use for it. (you could gift this bitch a rock with googly eyes and pipe cleaners and he’d still thank you and display it in his room, but in the back of his head he’s questioning what the hell this is and why you’re giving it to him)
If you aren’t dating yet then he’ll still accept the gifts but he’s more forward in asking what something is if he’s unsure. Which could sound like a genuine question or a flat-out rude statement, really depends.
Clothing and accessories are his favorite gifts because not only does he get to look snazzy, but he gets to show them off and rub it in other people’s faces that not only does he look bitchin’ but it’s you who made it for him.
He’s not typically vain but your clothing and accessories make his pride skyrocket.
Jax has zero creative crafting skills but he’ll often toss out an idea for something matching, usually something simple like an accessory but he’ll avoid matching rings. It feels too intimate, similar to certain other matching-themed items.
Now if you manage to rope him into making something with you, IE you supplying it and just sitting there making something together but separately.
The most this boy can make is a bead bracelet, the knot is awful so you’ll have to fix it later when he’s not looking. But hey, you get a one-of-a-kind Jax bracelet that looks like a child teenager made it. (he doesn’t have the patience for anything fancier)
Aside from clothing, Jax also favours any art stuff, especially if it’s of him. Since they won’t get as seen in his room he’s taken to displaying some of them around the tent with a not-so-vague threat that if anything happened to them he’d make sure the punishment followed the crime. (no Caine, you don't get to have an opinion, the picture is staying)
His favourite works stay safely in his room though, you don’t know it but he likes to look at them when he’s missing you. ew emotions
It doesn’t compare skill-wise, but Jax does occasionally try and gift you something in return.
Gangle somehow managed to rope Jax into joining her when crafting one time, saying it would be a nice little surprise to make something for you. (she was just lonely, she feels bad using you as an excuse like that but it worked!)
Once in a blue moon he’ll join Gangle to make you something, it’s a miracle Gangle puts up with him because his frustrations get a little wild for no reason. (he’s like a grumpy toddler in need of a nap time when he gets upset over crafting, man has no patience for the glue to dry)

MY HEADCANONS FOR TDAC (main cast) CHARACTERS LGBTQ+ WISE cause although I don't find it important per se it still effects the way I look at the characters.
Going in alphabetical order:
Bubble- I don't necessarily see them as anything? If that makes sense. Like just unlabeled on everything, but not even calling themself 'unlabeled'. Bubble is Bubble.
Caine- AROACE. THERE NO WAY BRO ISN'T. My headcanon started immediately when I saw his face with the Moon. The absolute look of fear. That is an ace man if I've ever seen one. "Let's get outta here before the moon starts getting frisky!! o.0 " His desire to keep everything as pg as possible?? I dunno, he just gives me ace vibes ong. AND THEN- I just personally can't see him as being romantically into anyone. Like just an example, the scene in the restaurant. Typically in scenes like that in the media it's portrayed as a romantic evening/date. BUT IT WASN'T. It was him with his fucked up dog 😭 COMING BACK AFTER THE NEW EPISODE?? THAT MAN IS AROACE!!!!
Gangle- That is a nonbinary person if I've ever seen one. Demigirl perhaps?? Either way, I'm jealous of the androgyny that mfka has. I'm not too sure sexuality wise, as a multishipper. (I honestly j consume most tadc media so I'm not sure if that counts as being a multishipper lol) I would like to think that they use she/they pronouns and is maybe pansexual. (:
Jax- I was dreading doing bro. I wanna say cis man?? But I can also see agender using he/him. Gender just isn't something that concerns him. His only concern is being a little bitch. LMAO. And sexuality wise?? He's definitely got some queer flair to him. So imo Imma just say queer. :3 Like he knew he was gay to some extent?? And just stuck with the label. ALSO ADDING ON AFTER THE NEW EP, in my opinion he doesn’t have any interest in figuring out gender or sexuality, he only likes being an absolute bitch LMAO. I like him though so I GUESSSSSS it’s okay. Maybe.
Kinger- OKAY. SO. HE'S CISHET. AN ALLY. BUT CISHET. I personally hate when fandoms see a weak and/or smaller man and immediately label him as trans and/or queer. CAUSE BRO, MEN CAN BE MALEWIVES LET THEM BE!!! He's definitely the typa man to be called babygirl. Like imagine Jerma or Paul Dano, a silly cishet man who is in fact babygirl.
Pomni- BISEXUAL WOMAN. Bros got the bi-haircut. That's my only reasoning./hj But seriously?? As a bi person myself leaning toward my gender?? I can genuinely see that for her. It's canon, trust/j
Ragatha- SAPPHIC. THIS WOMAN LOVEEEESSSSSS KISSING OTHER WOMEN!!!! She loves women so much. It’s always a good day to be gay if your Ragatha.
Zooble- Non-binary. (Duh lol) But I’d like to say sexuality wise they lean more towards women. Zooble loves kissing women. Not as much as Ragatha, but hey, it’s the thought that counts.

If you had to assign animals to the characters, what animals would they be?
Dawn would probably be a dove. Peaceful, very loving. I have doves in my garden that come for cuddles every day and of course they sing as a dawn chorus would :)
To keep on the theme of birds, Arthur would be an owl. The regular depiction of being wise and gentle are more than accurate with him, and he spends a lot of his nights up in thought.
Cerys would be a cat. Territorial but affectionate on her own terms, very motherly but works on her own time and boundaries, as she should.
As typical as it sounds, Kynes would be a dog. Something strong and intimidating with wiry fur and a strong bite that will kill for its own but also can be swayed to domesticity after enough trust and love.
Jax would be a dog in the other sense: loyal to no end, playful, cheeky when needed and an absolute rock through the other times. A lifelong companion, no doubt.

TADC SPOILERS
Now that I’ve had time to think about it, I feel the new information on Jax’s character might have a bigger impact going forward, fandom and possibly show wise. I’ve already seen two very different reactions to it today, with some people straight up now hating him now and others loving him even more for his actions. (It feels like a potential discourse could be coming lol) I know it’s still really early on, but I think his character could go either way in the show. He could absolutely become an antagonistic role, seeing his view of others (npc and not) being a sort of big main theme here in contrast to Pomni. It’s also possible that that his behavior will be explained later on, or something worse will come along and he’ll draw a sort of line as to how far his actions will go. Maybe even vice versa, with bigger tension causing a “snap” that could be detrimental. Idk, it’s complex, though I really am interested to see how viewers will be affected by it and debate with each other by the time it’s all over.
#Tadc#the amazing digital circus#tadc spoilers#the amazing digital circus spoilers#Idk personally#I tend to always dislike “jerk/bully” characters and it takes a lot to convince me on it but there’s so little info rn it’s hard to say

oh I loved the new TADC episode, I wish Zooble was in it more though, honestly
It’s nice to meet another Zooble enjoyer, they’re a funky character and their deadpan attitude is fun
I saw you also have a character for TADC! What a cutie, may I ask what their personality is? And pronouns ofc
Oh and what role do they play in the circus?
How do the other characters interact with them?
Oh and they’re shipped with Zooble right? How’d the relationship start?
Is Ezirp an NPC or a human also trapped, if so how long have they been there? How do they feel about the circus?
Are they a cat as well? Looks like a little water cat which is so fun!
How do they feel about Caine?
Can I perhaps, eat them? Just like their inspiration, they feel so edible
Oh and one more question! Explosion.Jpeg?
Heheh got youuuu >:3
YEAHHHHH I LOVED IT SO MUCH!!!!! SUCH A FUN RIDE!!!! no matter how many times I watch it IT DOESNT FEEL LIKE 25 MINUTES XDDD
AND ALSO I AGREE!!!!! MORE ZOOBLE!!!! thankfully episode 3 is apparently gonna be SUPERRR zooble focused... I HAVE HOPE AND FAITH!!!! HANG IN THERE ZOOBLE FANS!!! WE WILL SURVIVE!!!!!!!!!
BUT YEAHHHH im such a BIG zooble fan!!! LIKE! trust me anon when i saw them in the episode i SCREAMED. SCREECHED EVEN.... the people who i was on call with can confirm i was LITERALLY fucking feral LMAOOOO
ANY WAYS! ERZIP QUESTION ANSWERING TIME !!!!! YIPPEE!!
erzip uses she/her! she's another human in the circus and she got there a few months before zooble did. she doesnt mind the circus but she definitely wishes that she could explore more and that some things would change :3c
personality wise, erzip is typically pretty nice! she's somewhat adventurous, as she loves to discover new things, though she prefers to do it all on her own. even so, she is sociable by nature and almost always loves talking to others when she can! like she's 100% a chatterbox and will go on long rambles about whatever random fact she had just remembered at the moment when prompted... erzip also likes saying absolutely wild things out of the blue for fun, usually in the form of threats LMAO
hmmm... circus role wise, erzip be an acrobat! and group wise, she's definitely the friend who always wanders off and has to be dragged away from whatever thing she'd gotten invested in since she went missing. you go through one crowd and you lose her because she went to go look in some random shop window halfway across the street xD
the other characters interacting with her.... asjkadfhdsjdh I HAVE THOUGHTS...
erzip and jax? mutual hatred. they both despise each other. though it is WAY more serious on erzips end xD she would gladly fight him any day of the week (and she has indeed done so in the past LMAO)
erzip didnt mind caine at first, but eventually he had gotten on her nerves. she now chooses to avoid him if possible. she just wants to go off and explore! why must he keep popping up!! >:P
pomni is on... less than ideal terms with erzip. theres just something about pomni that erzip doesnt like. pomni tries to be cordial, but still typically tries to avoid her and as a result, the two aren't really the closest.
ragatha is more of an acquaintance than anything. she's nice, but erzip fully believes that she can handle herself and doesnt turn to ragatha for much. they just respect each other. its not tense or awkward or anything and they often have pleasant conversations, its just that they aren't as close as they could be.
erzip and kinger get along pretty well! theyre definitely decent friends! erzip thinks hes neat (even if he keeps pulling on her keychain)
gangle and erzip are pretty close! they interact a lot and are pretty good friends! they have a lot of shared interests and can usually be found hanging out together and talking about them! (:3
and zooble... well they interact pretty positively most of the time! they both like talking to each other a lot! nd they mostly just go off on their own to hang out together hehe!!!
their relationship was a very slow and gradual thing xDD it took a bit for the both of them to become friends, but once they did they quickly got pretty close. though it was a suuuuuper long time before they both actually opened up and revealed how they felt. it was honestly super out of the blue! erzip hadn't been planning on saying anything at first, but the confession just slipped out and here they are xD even so, its still an incredibly down-low thing.... mainly because there hasn't been a convenient time to bring it up and they don't really care about the rest of them knowing. so the others are unaware, though they're certainly suspicious that they may be in a relationship now xD
and yeah erzip a cat!!! since she's based on water filled computer mice i decided a cat would be fitting as like... a twist on the idea xD
AKJSADFHASKJDF you can certainly try to eat her! ....though your mouth would probably be full of plastic shards and chemicals as a result xD
ALSO AAA!!!!! EXPLOSION.JPEG!!!! NOOO!!!!!!!! IVE BEEN GOTTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! o_O
#vivispeaks#ask#erzip#when the brainworms let up enough to let me CREATE im totally drawing art of her and zooble IM FERAL

My mk asks answered by me
Here is my mk asks answered by me
(These are just my personal opinions and takes)
Various mk based asks
Combo of sfw and nsfw.
Cw:nsfw content.
❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤
SFW:
• What is in your opinion the best stage?: honestly overall in any game is living forest, shang tsungs throne room(mk1) and island ruins(mk11) respectively(because im a shang tsimp). And there are a few others but i can't think of the name specifically rn.
• Who is your main?: currently shang tsung. The og main is/was kung lao
• What powers/fighting type would you have if you were in mk?: well if i go by my self insert oc lady tsung(shang's wife),she has his fighting skills since she was trained by him,only a bit of magic which is fire magic. She is very monitored and limited with soul magic (due to her husband being cautious af). But if its me straight up? Fire magic/fire chi.
• Who is your fave kharacter(s)?: this will be extensive) shang tsung,kung lao,liu kang,scorpion,subzero(both kuai and bi-han),raiden,fujin,jax,johnny cage,kano,jade,kitana,shao kahn,mileena,goro,kintaro,sheeva,reptile,smoke,rain,cyrax,sektor,nightwolf. These are just ones i really like.
• If you had to pick a representative realm,who's side would you be on? Or would you be on your own side,acting alone? Aka neutral.: I'd be neutral. I mean I'd be probably a bit bias to earthrealm,because i live there. Buuuut. Eh.
• If your found yourself on shang tsung's island,washed up on the beach. What is your first reaction,and what would you do first?: besides choking half to death of seawater. I'd probably mildly panic. But then be happy because its a tropical paradise. Unf,yes. But I'd try to find out who lives here if any at all. (And me finding shang well....this is the hell i choose hun)
• Would you have a master/teacher/sensei? If so...who?: well my self insert oc lady tsung is technically his pupil. Soooo. Shang tsung. But also I'd pick him anyways,because who better to learn from then legit the guy that can turn into anybody?
• Fatalities,brutalities,or friendship?: depends on the situation. Game wise. I love brutalities more now than fatalities. Friendships are always welcome. Storywise or in a narrative? Maybe a fatality,cant go wrong with that. Friendships or mercy if the story counts for it.
• What stage would you NOT wanna be stuck in?: fuuuuuuck. Probably the pit only because,i do not like heights. But close second would be the deadpool/acid pit.
• Who would be absolutely terrifying to fight in mk. Even if it was at its fairest and you had the highest advantage.: raiden. Because why would you fight a god? Shang tsung not because he is only dangerous to fight but this fucker would know i like him,and take full advantage of that. He probably already has. The fight wouldn't get anywhere because he'd be too busy trying to get a rise outta me.
• Who's your least faves and why?: Stryker,because acab and i just dont like him all that much. Kronika because she's useless as a main badguy is underwhelming,and boring. (Look things could always be written better but how it was played out was hella sloppy and no excuse for them to not write better)
• Who's in your opinion the best character to play as? Who is the worst?: that depends entirely on you. For me personally the worst,i hate playing d'vorah and mileena in mk11 soley for the fact its hella unbalanced. But overall in mk across the board. Any character with gun(minus erron black because his character is based around rooty tooty mc shooty). As for the best character. Any of the two monks,johnny cage,raiden(if done right) and shang tsung if you wanna be an absolute jerk to your opponent. These characters are well rounded across many games for the most part and good to play even if you know nothing of mk. Or fighting games. Liu kang is easy and so is johnny cage. Good for beginners.
• Fave game?: shaolin monks and mk2.
• Least fave game?: honestly i dunno. I can't hate a mk game. Only critique its storytelling. But it's never been 100% anyways so despite any personal gripes. All mk games at the end of the day are fun. If you aint having fun. Then it sucks.
• Favorite iteration of your faves? The least fave?: ok look my fave shang tsung is always the 95 movie. 11 when he came back i was so stoked! (And the only reason why i got mk11 in the first place. I wouldn't touch it otherwise) but i have a soft spot for mk legends SR and BOTR old man shang tsung. Artt butler's performance grew on me. But no offense,unpopular opinion here. Snowblind sucked. Unless you are a kano simp or a kenshi fan. You wont like this movie. It feels so catered to one type of audience it aint funny. But BOTR and SR also has some problems too. But shang tsung is once again the only good thing about it. Maybe raiden. But thats about it. Sadly.
• Who would you love to have a drink with?: shang,not because i love the character. But because it would be fun and interesting conversations I'd have. Maybe raiden or fujin.
• Who would you play board games/videogames with?: raiden or kung lao or liu kang. They'd be fun. Videogames with johnny cage. Because he'd be a blast.
• Who would you have as a sparring partner?: if not shang? Liu kang. He'd be fair... ish.
• Who is your arch nemesis?: quan chi. More likely.
• Who if given the chance to. Would you love to sit down and have a deep conversation with?: shang tsung or raiden. If i can get away with it,shao kahn surprisingly. (Look my shao kahn is waaaaaaay more scary intelligent than is depicted in most media)
• Where would you like to live in the mk verse?: shang's island. Far tf away from people. Plus i love the ocean and beach sm.
• Would you help johnny cage with a movie if given the opportunity?: maybe. Depending on the script.
• What's your main outfit look like?: i have art of it.
• Do you have a self insert(s/i)? If so what do they look like?: see above
• Do you self ship? If so. With who?: shang tsung uwu. Because i absolutely love this character.
• If you could change 3 major things about the story. What would you change?: ok first of all get rid of these "titans" bullshit. Thats for starters. Second of all actually make the elder gods do their jobs,be more involved and relevant again. 3rd thing,write a better system of rules of mk and enforce the tournament,like actually make this not just plot convenient. Actually enforcing these rules.
• If you could have the power of the crown,would you take it? If so what would you do? If not,who would you give it to and why?: i wrote a whole thing for that with my self insert oc lady tsung.
• What is a race/species in mk you want to be explored or expanded upon?: the kytinn,the shokan,maybe reptiles species the saurians.
• What part of the lore is underrated or underused?: shiiiiit there is too many things they forgot and left to rot.
• Opinion on the special forces?: too much involvement in the story when they dont need to be. Not to be that guy but i really wish people would stop having this obsession with us military. It's disturbing to me. And special forces,was never ment to be a huge thing. It was so minuscule in the grand scheme of things for mk. Like it was to show " hey yeah, you aren't the big bad tough guys here. There is something bigger than you. So buckle up bitch because you about to get humbled" because i loved it when the characters had to rely on things that was beyond them. Like actual fighting skils and not relying on "gUn" to do the job. Maybe magic. Because let's be real. The us military would both piss their pants at an actual invasion of another world. Plus wanna get their greedy hands in whatever crap outworld has to offer. Dont lie. We'd be fucked if we didn't have a raiden or mk tournament to back us up. The only thing that should come out of SF is sonya n jax and they are again,minuscule in the grand scheme of it all. They got humbled real quick. As it should be. There is more I'd add. But id be here all day.
• Opinion on the elder gods?: should be utilized more and better. But overall cool.
• Opinion on the old timeline? New timeline?: honestly i just want a good story. New,old,dont matter.
• Opinion on the "kombat kids"?: could be better. Takeda and jin are the only ones i actually care about. Jacqui is cool but became a jax "clone" instead of her our autonomy as a character. And cassie,dont get me started on her. I'd be in a rage for days. But I'll leave it as she should have been johnnys kid from other marriage,instead of a careless one night stand that turned into loveless forced marriage for plot because the writers are brain dead and bigoted towards jax's family(because of course the only two main yt characters gotta have happy endings without much damage and actual consequences). But ya know. That's too spicy for people who don't understand why this shit pisses me off personally.
• Are you a heroic kharacter,villainous,neutral,etc?: myself? neutral for the most part.(as for my self insert oc Lady tsung will always be by her husband's side regardless if it's agreement with him or not. That woman is loyal. She is also neutral for the most part)
• How dirty are your willing to fight?: as dirty as it calls for it.
• If tempted by an enemy to join them if it ment saving your realm,home,loved ones,friends.....would you?: if its shang id be boned. Lol. Take that as you will. But if its shao kahn,fuuuuck i would begrudgingly say yes. I'd find a way out tho. If im already on shangs side or the "bad guy" side. Probably not,I'd be loyal af to shang even if i agree or not.
• If you were to be in an arranged marriage with a "bad guy" who would you rather be with? What about a "good guy"?: *chuckles* im in danger. *sweats as shang looks at me suggestively* But im not sure about a good guy tho. Kung lao would be the prime candidate for that maybe.
• If you could kiss any kharacter,who would it be?: shang tsung no doubt. But maybe lao. Kith,kith him on his head. :3 maybe fujin. Hee hee.
• Would you show your opponent mercy?: have they earned it? Then Yes. If not. Well time for the pain.
• If you had to pick a kharacter to die or killed off,for good. (Aka no bringing back for plot,like actually they ded ded bro) who would it be?: stryker....sorry Stryker enjoyers. But hey...he'd go out in style. So dont worry too much.
• Who would be a better guest kharacter?: duke nukem. Dont ask. I think it would be funny.
• Opinions on guest kharacters?: i dont care for em. I feel they take up space on the roster for more important characters and characters more deserving.
• What rules of mk are absolutely necessary and what rules do you think would be absolutely bullshit? (This one is for people who actually give a damn about tournament rules,lore rules,and general rules that were established in lore. If you dont care. Skip this.): honestly the rules should be more prevalent in the plot and story in general than what is shown. Period.
• What features would you keep,get rid of,and better utilize or polish up. Or even add?: get rid of too specific augements that legit are useless otherwise. Keep the easy fatalities tokens those are a godsend. And maybe add better skins and outfits. Better customization than just color palette swaps. And not 30000 of the same one only slightly different. Add a color wheel to custom the color more.
• Who is more aesthetically appealing?: shang tsung. Yeah im bias. But maybe the storm gods. But again they are gods so....yeah.
Ok now for nsfw
❤🐉🔥❤🐉🔥❤🐉🔥❤🐉🔥❤🐉🔥❤🐉
• If you had to have a one night stand with a kharacter who would it be?: probably shang tsung. Tho i wouldn't really do one night stands. But especially with him. But he'd make it worthwhile. Next after that would be fujin,raiden,maybe kuai or hanzo. But again i dunno if these would actually be a one night stand.
• Who in your opinion has the biggest pp? Whether in energy or literally the biggest: as in figuratively,probably big pp energy is shang,shao kahn,hanzo,sonya,and fujin and raiden. But literal big pp would be: shang,shao kahn,raiden and fujin
• Who would you say gives the best oral?: not to be bias but shang tsung. Silver tongued isn't just for communication and or scheming dear. 😏💖🐍. But i feel he's got experience. Plus i hc he likes oral giving and receiving.
• Where in the mk verse would you liked to get fucked the most?: shangs island,the wushi gardens,and maybe the fire gardens.
• Who would send the most chills if they did dirty talk to you?: shang tsung automatically but fujin i hc gives the most filthiest dirty talk,you'd never know. And to be praised by a God would be ....excuse me a moment *throws water on self* ah much better.
• If you woke up next to your mk blorbo,naked,in their bed. What is your reaction?: *dies of embarrassment and happiness because omfg im next to shang tsung*
• Sexual tension training session? Thoughts?: *hee hee hee* yesss. Bonus points if i can get shang flustered. But training with anyone with "tension" would be hilarious.
• What god,elder god,or immortal kharacter would you smash?: fujin. Hands down. No contest. Raiden a close 2nd.
• If a god caught with your mk f/o (if you have one) doing the do. What would your reaction be? Theirs?: I'd die of embarrassment. But raiden would be like "i didn't wanna see that" *leaves immediately*
• Who is the most husband/wife/spouce material? Who is the least?: honestly for bad guys shang tsung. You'd have everything you could ask for,nobody would dare be stupid enough to harm you (less their soul be food for fodder for shang) and he's actually very accommodating. I hc he's cuddly and a bit maybe possessive in bed. But overall a good husband. As for other characters good and or neutral. Hanzo,kuai,johnny,raiden and fujin,kung lao,liu kang,and baraka.
• Would you bring back sexy outfits? Skimpy attire for everyone? Or just keep it rather tame or realistic outfits?: both and all,keep many options open.
• The smuttiest,filthiest,hc you have for your faves.: *cracks knuckles* ok look im only gonna give 3 for shang. Because i have too many. That i can make for a separate post for another time.
1. Shang tsung loves to eat out his partner on his throne,and also getting head too. But if he's getting head he wont mind if anyone happens to walk by or see by "accident" it's kind of a "ego" boost for him. But if he's going down on you,giving YOU pleasure? Nobody must see,if anyone thinks about seeing you like that. They'll get a face full of flaming skull or worse. This is him pleasing his beloved. This is a private and more pampering time. He wants you all to himself. To savor all of you.
2. He will only let you dom him if he is married to you,and its been at least a year or 2 after you married. And only if he is absolutely in the mood for it. But only you are allowed. And only certain things. Shang has trust issues and if he let's you do these things and you communicate well with him. He definitely loves you. But you have to be a special person for him to let you. But oh boy shang tsung whimpering to you in bed gives me the best high of my life.
3. Shang tsung has used magic to please his partner. Dont lie. If he's busy he will use his magic to pleasure you. If he's extra spicy he'll use a magical sex toy on you. While he does his work. Which might be making magic scroll,to alchemy,to helping reinforce his islands defenses or engineering. (No making clones is a tedious process and takes up way to much resources. Plus its annoying for him unless he gets paid enough or compensated for it. He dont do that shit for free. Plus im sick of the clones excuse and plot. Ugh no offense to people)
• How loud is your mk blorbo in bed?: shang is moderately loud. Most of the time. If he wants to be loud however,all the island will hear him. If he wants to be quiet however,its more likely you are playing a little lovers game. He always want you to be loud. How else will they know your heart and soul is his?
• Mk Blorbo,angry sex? What's it like? What about other faves?: oh yes. Please. I need this in my life. Shang is rough not enough to do bad damage. But he won't hold back. It's what you expect from a dark and very powerful sorcerer such as shang tsung. As for other faves. You know how they fight. Thats how they fuck. Makes only logical sense. Lol.
• Mk Blorbos Opinions on virginity?: look shang i genuinely feel doesn't guve a fuck if his partner is a virgin. It's only icing on the cake. If you are a virgin,he will absolutely take pride in being your first and would have the biggest smug ass grin on his face. But if not...oh well. He will make it feel like its your first tho. Either way he'd love you no matter what. If you managed to capture his heart n soul? Oh boy he'd have his little claws like a vice grip.
• Mk blorbos opinions on breeding kink? Would they have this kink? Would they be willing to get into this kink?: *evil laugh* the idea and fantasy? Sure shang is down. But in reality? Eh i dunno. He's too cautious for that. But with convincing,you could change his mind.
• How would your fave go about asking for sex? Would they be straight up or would they give hints and play around with you? What about you?: shang tsung could go either way. But he's always tactful and tasteful about it. Shang loves playing games,mind or otherwise. So the courting isnt any different. As for me,I'd rather be upfront but tasteful.
• How long would they wait to have sex with you? Would they be ok with rather early on or would they actually wait a bit?: at least give him a year. Shang isn't gonna say no if you are willing a bit early on in your relationship. But give him at least a year to figure you out.
• Would people know about your affairs or would they keep it under the radar? Or would they kinda have something in between?: depends. It's more of an open secret. Like they'd know you fucking shang or at least are close with him. But they dont know details. Just as shang would prefer it to be.
• Would they fuck after a fight? Would they fuck during a sparring match? Would the do this during training? What is their opinions about sexy times during kombat?: depends on how that fight went. If shang comes home after a fight and he lost badly,he might take his frustrations out but only if you agree thats ok. He'd never do it unless you wanted to. But if you green light that,be prepared for a sore ass the next day. But otherwise he'd work out or take it out on a minion. He comes back however and the fight was an absolute flawless victory. He'd celebrate and pamper and cherish you like the jewel you are in his life. Either way you're good.
• Turn ons? Turn offs?: he likes to be somewhat clean. He hates feeling dirty when fucking. So at least let him shower a bit beforehand. During the sex he can get filthy. And its not a huge deal if you both are in the moment. But he prefers to be clean and have a bit of a romantic atmosphere. Also i hc he loves somft s/os and naughty brats. So if you are both or either. You in luck.
• What they seek in a sexual partner (aka what they find sexually attractive) vs what they seek in a significant other/spouce (aka marriage material): ok shang doesn't discriminate with sexual partners. He's down for anything. Be it somft and sweet or you are more aggressive type. But as for a spouce? If you are patient,know how to talk and handle people,diplomatic,and or intelligent(doesn't need to be scientific or book smarts. But emotional intelligence is a huuuuuge turn on. Someone who has emotional maturity and understanding is a huge way to get him to say "unf just fucking marry me already!" ) you have him at hello.
• Who would they have a dick measuring kontest with. Aka who would they have to throw hands the most with for your affections?: there may be many. But i feel kung lao(for personal reasons),hanzo(because he feels shang doesn't deserve me) and maybe fujin(out of jealousy and the fact he doesn't trust him), maybe liu kang but in weird platonic way(unless its an au) maybe shao kahn but thats for funny memey reasons only.
• Do you like them softer/romantic or more spicy/kinky?: both
• What "bedroom" nicknames would you call them? What about what they'd call you?: shang would use. peach,my love,my beloved,my jewel,my pearl,or straight up calls you beautiful. As for me I'd call him master tsung (he relishes this),sorcerer(only in a teasing way) maybe bao bao if im feeling mushy,my love,but for the most part i just call him by his name.

I reread the 8th day series over reading break a while back, so I decided to draw my head canons for some of the characters in high school after the series.
Jax Aubrey
He moves to go to Dorian’s school after graduating middle school to live with Riley and Evangeline, but basically alone for most days of the week.
Despite being a bit oblivious and nice to most people he meets, Dorian described him as a bit scruffy and delinquent-like. He definitely looks like he could kill you but is actually a cinnamon bun. (He got that from Riley)
In fact, for the first few years of high school, most students are scared of him because he kept skipping classes (for some Grunsday missions) and looking like he just came out of a few fights
He learnt how to cook and bake not only because he now lives alone, but after seeing the twins’ atrocious diet and how picky Tegan was due to her sensitive nose, he decided to make good food
He is the mascot of the cooking club and the members absolutely adore him because they are the few people who actually see that he is not scary
He becomes secretly popular by the end of high school, though he doesn’t know himself.
Despite his initially mediocre grades (he shares a brain cell with Billy and Tommy), he studies hard to go to the same university Tegan is applying to. The reason why he applies for any universities is because it’s what his dad and now Riley want for him to do
One of his earrings is a gift from the round table for being a core field agent for them and they wanted a quick way to track him if any of the missions went south. It is directly linked to Tegan’s scry bowl due to their previous partnership in the Morrigan mission. (And because the round table also thinks they’re cute together.)
Dorian Ambrose
I’d like to think that he completely detaches himself from the Round Table business and opens a transport business with brownies
Tegan Donovon
She and her family move to New York and go to the same school as Jax due to their increased involvement in the Round Table
Looks like a cinnamon roll, will kill you
She has a lot of hidden pockets to steal and store things with ease
She was a bit of a weird kid in the first year of high school, but with her charisma and analysis of school society, she quickly became the school’s most popular kids
While she’s still a bit of a chaos causer, due to the stupidity of her friends and brother, she does act as the mom friend when Evangeline is not there to take that role
She’s like the dad that doesn’t want pets (brownies in this case), but pretty much adopt one and love them dearly after a week
Eats anything Jax makes (food-wise)
Get jealous easily when it comes to Jax
Hosts girl’s night with Leslie and Addie where they start seances or whatever girls do at girl’s nights
Gets super high grades now that she doesn’t focus on stealing for a living because the Round Table pays them for their services
Plans to get into computer science in university
Tommy Donovon
Definitely gets buff and become the himbo of the group
Some other characters
Leslie
Definitely gets anxiety and PTSD from the Morrigan situation (definitely needs therapy)
Gets a tattoo on her wrist (done by AJ), similarly to the family crests, but it’s actually a ward against the Morrigan
Gets close to Billy because they are the “normal ones”
Addie
She’s going to show up one day on a normal day of the week casually while other people freak out that the 8th day curse is broken or something and some of the murderous Kin were free, but she would just go “yeah, I figured out how to break it but only for me.”
Then she goes to live with Jax because his apartment is way too big for one person
She’s skipped a few grades to be one under Jax and Tegan and is definitely the real delinquent of the school
Gets highlights in her her, to Evangeline’s dismay
She doesn’t study but gets amazing marks
Gets introduced to Avatar the last Airbender and convinces Jax and the gang to make the life action film of it using her magic and submits it as homework and convinces everyone the CGI was just really high quality
Evangeline
Just happily living away with Riley
Just a bit into arson
The mom friend
Does argue a lot with Addie but she’s proud of her at the end of the day
Billy
The flirt of the friend group
Gets a tattoo on his wrist (done by AJ) claiming that he can make his own bloodline (and who knows, maybe his kids will be able to get into the 8th day)
I don’t know, I just think that Billy and Leslie would be good together
Studies mythologies in college and goes around the world to investigate and learn more about what my be in Grunsday that they don’t know about
Is the intelligence analyst that the Round Table must consult with, as he is able to give the regular citizen perspective
Also helps regulate the relations between the normal people and the transitioners when a wild event is occurring, so the huge power imbalance between them in the books lessen
Riley
Very cowboy core (the part that said he wears cowboy boots in the book will never leave me)
His plan of sticking with Evangeline for every Grunsday works well and they have a happy life together
Core member of the Round Table
Tired all the time
Gets really weirded out when Jax is older than him

Mortal Kombat (2021) Review
Well, well, well....here we are, a Mortal Kombat movie -- not the first, obviously. I will say, it's much better than both films from the 1990s. I will also say that, for the most part, I enjoyed it more than "Mortal Kombat 11" and its garbage DLC "Aftermath."
Come for me all you want, but I am standing by my thoughts on that game and its DLC.
Overall, I did like this new "Mortal Kombat" movie. It was entertaining. However, I have...a lot of issues with it, too, pertaining to lore, acting, and special effects.
What was the best part of this movie? If I had to pick one? Oh, definitely Hiroyuki Sanada as Hanzo Hasashi/Scorpion. He is one of the best Japanese actors working today. He's one of the best actors working today. Having him play such an important character was probably the best choice the producers made.
Also, quick side note: Hiroyuki is 60 years old. HOW?! I mean, he doesn't look 20, but 60? I have my doubts.
Also, this is the first time I've heard him speak English. Interesting.
Another wise decision the producers made for this movie is casting Josh Lawson as Kano. I don't like Kano. He's a dick, but Josh gave the idiot a sort of douchebag charm that you couldn't help but be amused by.
So, what did I like, broken down:
Josh Lawson and Hiroyuki Sanada
The opening scene and final fight were the best scenes in the movie. Fantastically done, both of them.
Some cute little references to MK lore: a picture of Nightwolf, the use of "flawless victory," the use of "fatality," some suspiciously MK-sounding music cues, the massive statue of Shao Kahn...There were some nice fan service moments.
The fights, even the training ones, were all entertaining. Kind of like with "Godzilla vs Kong," the action is one of the strongest points of "Mortal Kombat" (2021).
The concept of the dragon brand to indicate who would fight in MK tournaments was actually a great choice. It does give the writers an excuse to not worry about including EVERY MK character; only the ones who have been "chosen" can fight at this time. It makes sense, it works, it's intriguing.
Kung Lao slicing Nitara in half (Sorry, Nitara -- love ya, Girl!) with his "spinning hat" technique was probably the most Mortal Kombat kill of the movie. It was extremely graphic, bloody, gross, over-the-top...it was perfect.
Hanzo toasting Bi-Han with his classic fire breath was a badass move if I ever saw one.
I did like how Mileena's mouth "worked" in this movie. She had sharp teeth and reddened skin(?) around her mouth to indicate that there was something not quite right with her face. Then she gets pissed later in the movie and opens her jaw completely, revealing an almost snake-like mouth, the skin tearing in the process. It was pretty badass. I liked it.
I actually liked Raiden a lot in this movie. I don't particularly like him in the games (don't come for me -- it's just my opinion) but I thought he was awesome in this movie, a truly intimidating but wise presence. His lack of full assistance made more sense in this movie, too (again, don't come for me because this is just my opinion).
The special effects were sometimes quite good. Sub-Zero's ice powers were well made, for example. Another example is Goro, who was fantastic (so much better than he did in the 1995 movie).
The backstory behind the main weapon of Hanzo was a pleasant surprise: it was a gardening tool to being with, and he just so happened to find it and turn it into a weapon.
Mixed thoughts:
The acting was decent overall. The only two I thought did great were Josh Lawson and Hiroyuki Sanada, but everyone else was ok. Some of the performances got a little hammy at times, but...I'm not going to take too many points off for that.
I liked Mileena but also was disappointed. She wasn't as malicious and flirty as she normally is; like she was watered down in this movie for some reason. However, she still was a dangerous fighter and her mouth was crazy! 👄
What I didn't like:
Some things didn't look so great. When Jax lost his arms, it looked...well it looked like blatant CGI. The lighting barrier Raiden created to protect his fighters from Shang Tsung looked pretty cheap as well. Some set pieces looked a bit too much like set pieces. I know we're on a set because this is a movie. However, when it looks kind of obvious, it really distracts you. I know this is a Marvel movie or something, but I think the special effects and sets could have looked a bit more refined.
I preferred the Quan Chi twist in regards to the death of Hanzo's family. It provided a much more complicated revenge story, and...I just think it was a better choice than making Bi-Han the murderer, like in this movie. I get that if they did use the Quan Chi twist, this movie would have become, like, 5 hours long or something, and would have had yet another character to develop (or attempt to develop). Still, it's not my favorite take on the Sub-Zero vs Scorpion story. So...meh.
Reptile looked impressive. He was more like a ... reptile than usual, you know, as opposed to a humanoid reptile creature. However, he didn't speak and didn't wear any armor, and his role in the movie seemed forced. It felt more like a badly executed fan service moment, like, "Heeeyyyy, it's Reptile, Guys! Ok, kill him because we have too many characters already...."
Cole was a likable guy, but I didn't see a point in his character being in the movie. He isn't an MK character from the games, and this just doesn't seem like the time to make a new character for the franchise. There are so many more MK characters to choose from, I think they could have avoided making up someone.
At the same time, though, this movie does suffer from having too many characters to focus on: Cole Young, Kano, Sonya Blade, Jax Briggs, Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Reptile, Mileena, Reiko, Kabal, Shang Tsung, Raiden, Hanzo Hasashi/Scorpion, Bi-Han/Sub-Zero, Goro, Nitara...I mean, damn, that's a bunch of characters to cram into one two-hour film. People who know little to nothing about MK may not be bothered by this, but fans like myself most likely will feel disappointed with how certain characters were handled in the movie.
Reiko, what...did they do to you? Did...he even need to be in the movie? I mean, he was just.....there.
Having the concept of "arcana" was just...I don't know. It wasn't a terrible idea but it also made things even less believable. No one got their unique traits due to some sort of weird-ass prophecy or whatever in the games. I suppose the writers used this "arcana" thing as a way to keep the movie flowing and avoid having it be hours long. However, it just didn't sit right with me.
I know this movie is only two hours but I would have liked a little more development for Mileena, Reiko, and even Kabal. Kabal gave us the short version of what happened to him but, again, it was so quick. Like, blink and you'll miss it. I think Mileena and Kabal are two very interesting characters in MK, and having them be so one-dimensional was disappointing.
Hanzo was barely in this movie. It seemed....weird to me. Bi-Han was out there wrecking everyone's shit and Hanzo was somehow trapped in the Netherrealm until Cole was forced to fight Bi-Han one-on-one? I mean, eh? They chose the absolute best actor to play Hanzo but didn't use him much.
I was so disappointed to see Kung Lao killed off. I mean, characters that die in MK games don't always stay dead but still....he was so much fun in this movie (as he should be).
I didn't care for the portrayal of Nitara at all in this movie.
I didn't hate "Mortal Kombat" (2021), but I didn't love it, either. I'd watch it again, and I would watch a sequel, but there is definitely room for improvement. There is a lot of potential for the next MK movie(s) to be much better (this movie had clear potential, too, to be honest). I just hope that maybe the writers will realize this if a sequel is made.
Final grade: C+

😍I’m loving this Luann appreciation trend,I loved her when she was talking to Gemma about Cherry in s1,and she was like”soon she will be old and wise like us”🤣I love her delivery,that whole scene was A+,those were the days😄!Oh yes!They way Charlie said family😍,Tara😍and mother😍,his accent never bothered me tbh!!I listened what Theo said about Clay being Juice’s father figure and why he wasn’t close to Opie and Jax,it made sense,I’d love to know his take on Juice’s helping Gemma!Do you think Clay was always real with Juice?I mean,his affection was real?or he was using him a little bit??Maybe a bit of both right?Ugh Sutter was so nasty when Tara died,the Tig jokes😤,he also made digusting jokes about Juice!But yeah,his tone on J/T in the DVD commentary was very different,he went off about Jax’s love when they did the park scene😑
Yes!! Luann was such an underrated character! I love that scene too, she always had awesome delivery!! I also love how upset Bobby was when she died, like he was really feeling the revenge on Georgie! I miss early SOA 😭. Yes!! Theo will definitely give us a deep explaination, I love that he’s so in touch with Juice’s arc! I think Clay was pretty real with Juice! He found out about Juice’s secret and he shared his own, he didn’t have to do that! I also think Clay and Juice’s relationship started when they were in prison, since they were cellmates. He never gave him up to Jax and he didn’t even blame him when he betrayed him. He definitely took advantage of Juice’s naivety, but he never did it to hurt him. I can’t stand the Tara jokes, I can’t imagine what horrible things he said about Juice 😤. It’s crazy because he drags our mains through the mud more than he does the actual villains in the show! Like you never here him trash Stahl, Clay, or any other villain even though they’re the ones that we should hate and they’re doing awful things 🙄. Sutter makes absolutely no sense, I really think his explanations change depending on his audience.

2019- Top 7 (And 1)
Another year has come to an end and thus the hotly anticipated Top 7 (And 1) from your ‘average at best’ Ozzdog12 is here for you to feast your eyes upon. 2019 was an extremely odd year for me, gaming wise. As parenthood has taken the full brunt of my time, my gaming time and the choices of what games I decided to play, have changed. I played several games this year that, under any previous year I may have stuck with longer or tried again, but as time for gaming has become more and more thin, I now have less ‘patience’ to stick with a BIG RPG (Disco Elysium, one day I’ll get to you). Now I’m going to contradict my previous sentence with this next sentence. I was unemployed for a stretch of 5 weeks and in between looking for jobs I also found myself with a decent amount of time to play some games. What I did with that time is played 2 games that ultimately made the list, for two very different reasons. I also cleared out a chunk of backlog games (Finally beating Diablo 3 for one, thank you Switch) and played several, shorter smaller games in the process. If interested in my previous Top 7 (And 1) 2017 & 2018.
And now on to the And 1 this year
Favorite game that came out in 2019 that actually came out 20+ years ago: Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening (Switch)
This one was actually a hard one to decide as Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition also released this year. AOE2 is the one game I may have put the most time into ever, cumulatively. But I’m giving the nod to Link’s Awakening simply because its BRAND NEW to me. I did not play the original release and this has been an absolute joy to play and is by far, the best Zelda available on Switch. The updated graphics are gorgeous and the art style is great. I haven’t completed the game yet, but I’m slowly chipping away at it at night. It feels and plays like a Zelda game but updated properly to a modern console to make it feel like a brand new game released in 2019 and not just a reskin/up-resed re-release. The game is also structured in a way that appeals to me more than Breath of the Wild was (see 2017 And One for reference). The world feels big, but is contained in a clever way to make it FEEL bigger than it actually is.
Number 7: Rage 2 (PS4)
Rage 2 is a very weird game. I don’t mean it’s weird in the sense that nothing clicks or that its bad. In fact, it’s a joy to play (especially is you love iD shooters). It’s weird because outside of the gameplay mechanics, it’s fairly barren (intentional or not). And I mean that in terms of both story, things to do and the world itself. Having very little to do with the previous Rage (which I really enjoyed on the 360), Rage 2 starts off quick and with a bang. You choose which version of the character you want to be, learn the mechanics and then are eventually sent to a town. There are a total of 6 ‘story’ missions that are stretched out by requiring you to complete tasks for one of the 3 town leaders who you’ve enlisted for help to take down the General. Once you do this, you fight the General and that’s kind’ve it. Now along the way, you will kill a bunch of mutants and humans alike. There are 3 factions (4 if you count the Ghosts in the DLC) that are in an ever engaging gauntlet to the death and you get to play janitor by spilling more guts and blood, but none of it really matters, the Factions I mean. There are a few Crusher Mutants (BIG MUTANTS) to also fight, but they are essentially extra heavy bullet sponges. Now, I know I haven’t really sold you on it, but here’s the thing. I REALLY enjoyed RAGE 2. It was the perfect game to play during the summer. Due to a personal situation I was dealing with (the looming unemployment) it was nice to just sit down at night, turned my brain off and just kill things. It reminded me of a simpler time in my youth playing games like Doom. Same vibe honestly. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve become more of a story and narrative driven player, but Rage 2 scratched a nostalgia itch for me at the perfect time.
Number 6: Concrete Genie (PS4)
Concrete Genie is a game that is honestly out of left field for me these days. Not that I don’t like these types of games, it’s just as previous stated, time is somewhat of a precious commodity and had Concrete Genie come out in any other year, I probably would’ve skipped it entirely. However, it didn’t and I’m glad I picked this up for $20. It also scratched a nostalgia itch and reminded me very much of the PS2 era of games like Sly Cooper and Jax and Daxter. You play a kid who is bullied (something I am familiar with first hand, sadly) for being a loner and an artist. His creature drawings come to life with the help of a magic paint brush and your objective to put color back into an abandon town and bring it back to life. There is a VR component I wasn’t able to play because I don’t have a PSVR. The game is fairly simply and doesn’t deviate far from that formula. There is very little combat and just enough variety in the monster’s you can make to keep you going. It’s also fairly short. I was able to complete and collect everything in around 7-8 hours. Having a complete game in a bite size package is something I long for these days.
Number 5: The Outer Worlds (PS4)
This game should be higher on the list but I put it here simply because while I have played it a fair amount, I haven’t played it enough to warrant it being higher. I’m maybe halfway through? I love Bethesda Fallouts (And Obsidian’s New Vegas) and this is an improved New Vegas in space with a more cheeky approach. The Outer Worlds never takes itself too seriously and revels in its sarcasm. The companions are all mostly likeable enough and each planet has felt distinctive enough to entice me to keep exploring. The mechanics are improved and the overall gameplay is better than New Vegas. Its structured just like a Fallout game, so there is a lot of comfort there. However, just like any open world RPG, sitting down for less than an hour and trying to accomplish anything is hard. The Outer Worlds is best played in big chunks. It’s at the top of my list to finish in 2020.
Number 4: A Plague Tale (PS4)
A Plague Tale was THAT game that was on everyone’s ‘Hidden Gems’ list. I had seen a trailer around E3 and it intrigued me enough to check it out. I completed it over a whole weekend, a rarity. The game isn’t perfect, but everything is serviceable enough to work within the confines of what it’s trying to accomplish. It has some technical flaws and the occasional hiccup, but I’m a sucker for 3rd person action adventure games. The game is mostly centered around stealth with combat as a mostly secondary option. The game takes place in France in 1348 during the rat plague. You play as the daughter of an alchemist and your brother has been sick since birth. Once your village has been raided by the Inquisition, you are cast out to find help. The plague has taken over the majority of the country, but it isn’t until later in the game where the game takes a turn into the fantasy in a major way. You meet up with some really likeable characters with different personality traits along the way that really kept the story moving in an interesting way. The story was really grim at times, but honestly kept me hooked until the final chapter. The boss battle was extremely frustrating. With a sequel being announced, I am extremely interested in where they take the next chapter.
Number 3: Katana ZERO (Switch)
Katana ZERO rules. There is a fine line where a game is challenging and when a game is unfair. I like a challenge, but I don’t want to work (games like Dark Souls are work). KZ is very similar in style, gameplay, tone, and even music to Hotline Miami. The difference being KZ is a side scroller instead of top down. You play a samurai in a quasi-dystopian future after a war. You are programmed killing machine…or are you? The story is fairly heavy and can bring up some tough subjects. KZ is pretty challenging, especially later in the game, but never once did I feel the game was cheap or unfair. Every time I died (MANY, MANY TIMES) it was always my fault. Either I didn’t plan my attack correctly, I hit the wrong button, took the wrong path, or didn’t time it right. The game has a nifty way of dealing with ‘deaths’ in the game using a neat rewind feature. When you complete a level, it shows you a replay in ‘real time’ giving you a nice recap of your work. Every time I completed a level, I felt a sense of accomplishment. My Switch says I put around 5 hours or more into it once I completed the final level, but it honestly felt longer than that, in a good way. KZ is an absolute blast to play and you should go play it right now!
Number 2: Gears 5 (Xbox One)
I’m a fan of the Gears of War series. The first Gears of War still being my favorite of the series. As time has passed, I’ve become less interested in the series as a whole but still interested enough to play every entry. I thought Gears 4 was the Force Awakens of the series. Essentially a retelling of the same story, with a new coat of paint and new characters with the old ones sprinkled in. Gears 4 was ultimately, fine. So I was actually excited for Gears 5 was going to go and to see how they built upon 4 with a focus on Kait instead of a Fenix. Halfway through the story, the group is divided and it starts to take a different tone. Gears 5 experiments with a first of the series, a semi-open world. I thought it broke up the monotony of wall hug, shoot, reload, repeat. I finished the story in a few days and had a good time with it, though once again, the ending being kind’ve abrupt. The series has a knack for being sort’ve slow, then suddenly turning it to 11, then ending. I wished the campaign was longer, but it’s still solid. Gears 5 introduced a new mode called Escape, where you and two other players plant a bomb and try to escape a level with limited ammo. There is weekly a revolving door of new levels, which is nice, but each level is just reusing assets. I suspect with time and each new Operation (Season) that will be expanded. Horde mode is back and the character classes are fun. New characters have been added and will continue to be added, but they are an absolute grind to unlock (But you can always pay for them!) The reason Gears 5 is this high is mostly due to the amount of time I spent playing multiplayer. As stated, I loved the original Gears of War and put an insane amount of time into the multiplayer. That was in 2007 and the older I’ve gotten, my desire to invest into multiplayer has waned, almost completely. Once again though, right time, right place. I spent almost the entire month of October, logging on every night, completing challenging and playing online. Something I haven’t done since I was a freshman in college. I had an absolute blast. While I don’t delve into online as feverishly as I did in October, I still occasionally dabble when I get the chance.
Number 1: Mortal Kombat 11 (PS4)
As if this was going to be anything else. I’m a Mortal Kombat mark, plain and simple. I’ve loved the series my entire life. I love the lore, I love how ridiculously violent it is, how goofy and bat shit insane the story has evolved. I love it all. But its not all gore and lore, Mortal Kombat is a supreme fighting game. It’s not a nuanced as the likes of Street Fighter, but its infinitely deeper than a game like Smash Bros. Mortal Kombat is in a good sweet spot for both casuals and hardcore fighting fans. MK11 has maybe the greatest in-depth tutorial that has ever been made in any fighting game. It not only teaches you how to play, it teaches you the terminology. The story picks up right after MKX, with Raiden upset with everyone and taking matters into his own hands by torturing Shinnok. Liu Kang and Kitana rule the Netherrealm. Raiden plans an attack where he is essentially the Trojan Horse. All goes according to plan, until Kronika, The Time Keeper, decides she doesn’t like this anymore and eventually brings back some old friends to help her change time (again) and finally eliminate Raiden from existence. In doing this, Kronika has made all those mirror matches from previous games cannon. The production level and story mode in Netherealm games are on another level compared to other fighting games and they continue that trend in MK11. They implement the gear system from Injustice 2 into MK11 and its fine. The Krypt is amazing and is full of secrets. The Living Towers have returned, this time in the form of the ever changing “Towers of Time”. The roster, which is what everyone really cares about isn’t the worst but isn’t the best. None of the new characters are all that fun (Cetrion, Geras, & Kollector) and the returning roster was missing some notable characters. The DLC thus far has been fairly underwhelming compared to MKX. It was nice to see Shang Tsung, Nightwolf, & Sindel return (all 3 should’ve been in the main roster) but Terminator is lame. MKX had the likes of Tremor, Tanya, & Predator. MK11 seems to break what was a fun tradition in DLC having new, MK characters (Skarlett and Tremor, respectively). While I do think there is another set coming after Spawn, if the leak is true, then it seems underwhelming. I played MK11 pretty religiously for almost 2 months and still play at least once or twice a week. I love MK!

Mortal Kombat: Return To Of Kombat Shrines
Johnny Cage wiped sweat and angrily licked his upper lip, “So now is time of glory fighting, do you enjoy pain sandwiches?” Reptile looked down then up, then right, then at Johnny, then thought for a moment, then slightly bent his right knee. “If it is delicious swipings you like, then pain it is to your personal area parts!” Reptile slightly moved his foot and a small plume of dust was swept up. “See?”, said Reptile looking down at the ground. “See what?”, said Johnny. “Sorry, I was checking my massages.” Reptile now furious yelling: “Did you no like my dance moves?! If you were not so busy with your stupid, silly, awful, annoying, amusing, time consuming, absurd, benign, delightful and awful yammering you would have witnessed a thing that would have made you aware of it existing. Johnny, once more involved in a text with his agent looks up and raises his right eyebrow so it is higher than his other eyebrow, the other eyebrow is located on the opposite side of his cranium. The main idea is that there are two eyebrows and the one he is moving is the current one described now. “Well I...” Reptile interrupts while Johnny is speaking just now a moment ago: “Shut up you stupid pud!” Johnny stops moving, puts his hands at his sides and Reptile does the same, neither of them continues to move and stares silently at one another...day turns to night.......
MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!!
Sonya slowly roused from sleep in her room which the sun was coloring a golden shade of yellow, her hair lay about her carefree and flat, like pancakes left on a stove. The pancakes were delicious but there were more made than needed, so some were saved with Tupperware. With a majestic stretch, she raised up from her bed and arched her well toned body showcasing her physique and at the apex letting out a horrendous fart: “PLBBBBBBBBBBBIP!!!!!! It violently shook the adjoining wall. “Really Mom? What the fuck you smelly fucking bitch?! I swear to God after the first 3 games you just let your shit go and do you know how embarrassing it was having to go to school explaining that you were on medication while shouting: “ERUAGHHHUHEEEHHUHHH!” While ripping off men's heads and pissing on their ashes?” Cassie was a typical asshole teenager who was spoiled and smelled like gum and hairspray, even after raising her to be a man she still insisted on being a bitch. Cassie is painfully aware of how stupid it was for her mother to have bred with her father, although to be fair he was the only normal person with a normal penis in the tournament (Kano had a metal cock and Jax was...look Sonya is a racist okay? She wouldn't date Liu Kang, she wouldn't even date Quan Chi due to his Jewish heritage.) “You had your pick Mom, you stupid fucking cunt bag, you could have banged a thunder guy, or even sold your soul to a sorcerer with erectile disfunction and I would be able to kill fuckers with my magic queefs with green magic clouds or some shit. Noooo, instead I have some stupid ass drone and shoot people in a martial arts tournament.” Sonya had been silent up till this point, she had been busy breathing in her flatulence as she found it absolutely fantastic, she loved breathing her own fart gas, especially early in the morning after a night of drinking and eating peanuts. “Cassie, you are a whore, a fucking mistake, we actually were using condoms AND I was on birth control AND had a diaphragm inside me yet we still somehow got fucking cursed with you.” Sonya picked a small booger from her nose, smelled it and flicked it with fury at her daughter where it hit the wall with a shower of gross sparks. “You were a mistake and so was I, we all were because I recently found out Kano is my actual father so yeah, our family is a shit show even by Outworld's standards.” Cassie and Sonya both shake hands and salute, the entire room is suddenly engulfed with flames.
Outside...”Thank God we got out of that”, said Cassie. “You can say that again.”, said Sonya. ”Thank God we got out of that”, said Cassie. “You can say that again.”, said Sonya.”Thank God we got out of that”, said Cassie. “You can say that again.”, said Sonya. “So Mom, are you finally ready to admit you are a stupid whore?”, Cassie looked at her Mom for a response. “Yeah totally am slut.”, Sonya smiled and revealed she was missing 3 teeth, making her smile resemble a hobos. Sonya then let out a battle cry: “Lalalalalalala!!!” Cassie looks up, then down, turns around once, then back at her Mother. “Why did I just do that?” Sonya glares seriously into the distance at a nearby tree. “It's because you are a warrior, because you understood what that thing was to know. When instructions were handed out and mailed, they were hard to understand due to being comprised of small pictures with no words. We all still were able to assemble the furniture ourselves but I will never forget it, that is when I knew you were the un-chosen one, the one who was supposed to know the thing. Then all this other stuff happened, and I am also hungry now.” Cassie looks like a cat who was wet but then became dry and hoarsely replies: “Then, we dine in Hell tonight! My little kettle corn Mommy Mom!!!” Now different things happen to other characters too.
Scorpion grabbed at the brown tube which had become the ultimate opponent with a scrap of white barely hanging onto the edge of the roll. “Damn!”, Scorpion reached out and snatched the tube off the holder with a soft loving gesture. “By the fires of unholy eternal Heck, this is less than what I desire!” He then goes through a painstaking task of peeling back enough cardboard to cover his hand and reluctantly lowers his palm to relieve his stinky shameful horrible waste he was naughty enough to expel because he is bad and a devil person. “Whew it sure is smelly in here now!”, waving his hand in a circular, counter-clock wise and sideways motion he sang a sad, uplifting ditty: “Iiiiiiii juuuuuussst tooook a craaaaapp, iiiiiitt waaaas reallllly baaaaaddd, it buuuuuuuurrned my deeeeemonic aaaaaassss and nooooowww I am saaaaad.” He exited with a mighty flush as his enemy faced him down right outside the door. “I need to shit too once in a while dickhead.”, Sub Zero was not pleased, ever since this uneasy peace it seemed there was never a free moment to use the bathroom. “What are you doing in there anyway? It is not like you are jerking off, your dick was burned off years ago.” Scorpion erupted in a bout of flame and was now a skeleton. “Nooo, I can't, should we talk about what happened to your appendages? Or is it too soon to mention the ice tray incident?” Sub Zero became sad and cried tears which froze before being able to escape his stupid cold face. “You do not know what it is like, shrinkage was a real issue and you know how it makes me feel. Can we not do this right now please?” “Oh all right, I supposed you have been helping me with my baths and daily feedings, ever since we moved into this apartment I have begun feeling like you do not hate me anymore, you never rip off my head, you are always criticizing me and it makes me hot...not in a good way either. Sub Zero set down his knitting and looked at his friend, “Look, I really still need to use the bathroom okay?” “Then use it.”, said Scorpion. “I will.”, replied Sub Zero with a pep in his step as he pranced to the bathroom angrily. Sub Zero then uses the bathroom. Having finished using the restroom, Sub Zero returns to the couch and resuming knitting while humming: “Dun dun da dun da dun da dun da dah. Duh da du da duh da, (murmering) mortal kombat” Scorpion now in human form once more slaps his right knee past his thigh, but not quite the very tip of his knee, about 4 inches away from the front of his leg where the human knee joint is usually located. “See? No hate, just some odd couple bullshit...you used to be cool man.” Both beginning humming together as we slip out quietly...I mean really who wants to watch that? They are like a married couple.
II
Lament of Badgers
Liu Kang looked out over Edenia, a sprawling and beautiful land, with its sparkling waters and happy squirrels. He then put down the magazine and observed his dreary surroundings. The apartment was in his Mother Sui Kang's name not his own so he could not help but try to follow the rules, no loud chewing, no spiked arm bands on the couch and the worst rule of all, no fighting. There was water running, in fact it had been running for too long now... “Kitana! Are you almost done washing our produce yet?” “Almost my little Egg Foo Hung!” God he hated that nickname, yes he had a huge dong, but it was not the most mighty of the Wangs, Goro held that title. “Did you check the mail K? I was too busy rehearsing for my graduation speech.” Kitana laughed crazily and did a back flip, “I am so glad to be who I am! And yes I checked the mail and no you did not get anything, hehhhahahahahahaaaa!” Liu Kang stood up with speedy and fresh air while flossing shouting: “You disrespect the fish you get the whole thing, you wanted to see, you dreamed so hard like a fighting fish of glory. So now what say the opponents?” Kitana rose in the air on one leg while posing with her hands clasped and began to sing “Shake shake shake senora shake your body line.” and while gyrating was also firing a Desert Eagle at her husbands feet. “For fuck's sake what is wrong with you? You crazy ass bitch, we are gonna get evicted now cut it out!” Kitana descended to the ground and scratched at the wood, she scratched until her fingers were bleeding. Liu Kang watched for a few moments and then bowed, back flipping out of the room while letting out small “Wudap!” and “Wah!”.
Keys were heard jingling the doorknob. “Waiyaiyaiyaiyaiiiiiiii!!!” It was the landlord, must have gotten off early. She flung herself into the room, then backwards down the stairs and out into the road. A passing car honked its horn loudly, Sui stood up and lifted the vehicle over end like it was made of paper. People scattered in fear as she walked up to the window of the car where a man was stammering and shaking. She pointed her bony dirty green finger in his dumb stupid face, then turned and ran back up the stairs, then fell back down the stairs, then went to the local corner store for a candy bar, then returned to the stairs, she then carefully went up them and hopped over the last one, she was not going to fall for that shit again. Entering the room to find filthy empty food containers and dirty diapers stacked in the corner. “ I am home you lazy no good doo doo Kang!” Her screams filled the room and Liu Kang smiled warmly, “Hey Mom, did you check the mail? I am waiting for a collectors edition mug with a map of how to get to the new island for the chess tournament I told you about. His mother punched a hole in the wall, lit a cigarette while bouncing a basketball with her arm still in the wall, she took a drag and no smoke ever came out. “I know how deep this goes, there is no chess tournament, you must have gotten drunk with rent again right?” Liu Kang looked into a nearby mirror, winked, wiped his face, noticed his left eyebrow was getting long again and plucked a hair, then procured a shaver and removed the entire thing. “Oh no now I look not like a furious fighting man of burning muscle punches anymore. “Oh you look so handsome, like a suitable rental car with extra seat room!” His mother was now juggling firey blades and a cat. “Mom why do you always know just what words are said?” She swung a samurai sword at a watermelon in mid-air. “From here on out I will never talk like a boondalungaloo again. I am sorry that you are such a little baby bitty beep beep blop ploopy bloopy blee. It is the only way to center your Chihuahua.”
Liu Kang nodded and quietly painted his finger nails hot pink, he stopped to apply a small sticker of a baby chick to his index nail. “Kitana, thank you so much for this color it is striking, get it?” Kitana burst into the room wearing an overcoat and a bullet proof vest. “I am happy you like it, to make others happy is the motto of the badger!” Liu Kang fought to prevent vomiting as he drank a glass of rotten milk. He looked at a picture of himself on the wall, “Badger? What are you talking about?” Kitana set her puppy down and it ran backwards to its kennel. “You know silly, the Lament of Badgers Festival. It is what precedes Mortal Kombat in the hood bitch.” Liu kang took a long drink of chunky sour milk, “By the Gods why am I drinking this? Yeah I forgot, oh well, guess it is time for DVR watching. Liu Kangs ugly stupid fingernails tapped the remote lightly. He list-fully opened the viewing guide and selected his library, then navigated to settings, system and updates and then moved down 3 places to select update check, the screen flickered and he was back at the previous menu. Liu watched as his TV levitated off the ground and fell, shattering like a pillow dropped on bags. “Liu Kang you silly sad Sally! Get the fuck up and train now!” Raiden was standing in front of him smoking a blunt and wearing a pimp coat, his hat replaced with a bandanna. “And yo stupid asses better have my rent by the first...bitch.” He was instantly gone in a puff of green smoke, a small fire had been started by his lightning feet of fury. Liu Kang had to act fast, he threw Kitana's cat at the fire and it took out a cat sized fire extinguisher out of its suitcase and sprayed coolant, putting out the fire. While flying through the air it had also pissed for the length of the throw, not of fear but vengeance. “Now I leave you with my mighty piss stain to remind you of the day you crossed me, Sudakai Hiroki!” The cat struggled his paw to flip the bird to the human and left, making sure to slam the door. “But your name was Fluffles.” Liu Kangs eyes welled up with tears as he chopped an onion furiously with care. The door burst open, and Sudakai looked like a fire dragon as he said “That was never my name, you are so stupid man really, no one likes you. You are cheap, you are always yelling some unintelligible shit and spamming, sorry bro but fuck you. I forgot my nip.” The cat had snatched his satchel of kitty cat mowie wowie and fled slamming the door. Liu Kang cried this time out of sadness as the cat had also made off with the rent...oh well...it wasn't the first time.

@paindealt asked.... (aka the MK Kommunity Rambler)
Honestly YESSSS. That's what I love about Sub-Zero and Scorpion, and just Mortal Kombat characters. Is that they're IRONIC, and they have things about them that intentionally contradicts what character they're supposed to be. And that? Makes them feel more realistic imo. With a lot of characters in medias, they tend to fit one role/mold (like the stoic one, or the angry one, the funny one etc etc) which makes them feel one dimensional. But not the MK kast. Not only what we just talked about.
Raiden is another fine example. Like, he's this wise mentor character -- yet he FUCKS UP so badly. In fact, lots of people blame Raiden for the key problems in the series. Like Earthrealm's defender, yet he led characters' to their deaths, technically tried to sell their souls, became a "bad" (or "dark") for a little bit. Like Raiden is that wise old guy, but he's far from perfect, and even his wisdom is of no help. And I just find that very interesting about the kast & why I love them so.
The Mortal Kombat characters just SURPRISE you. And not in an ooc/bad writing sort of way. They're like REAL PEOPLE, and not only do they have a lot of history -- but you find out things about them you wouldn't expect. And it's why the MK games are my FAVORITE fighting series, just because the series really aced their characters and they're so good.
Like Kuai for example... when we see him older, it feels like he's actually aged. His younger self seemed more emotional, more liable to do something impulsive without thinking. (Example; going to straight on kill Scorpion for his brother without considering the circumstances). And then we see older Kuai and how much he's matured, how much wiser he became, and overall a man of peace. Yet... he STILL feels like the Kuai Liang we know. They did an amazing job with realistically aging Kuai up.
Same with Johnny and his younger self. And I know I'm rambling now. But MK just does an AMAZING job with its characters and I am impressed by it. Yes, there are still some ooc stuff, or they didn't do a character justice... (such as the death of Hanzo). But for the most part, they're good at writing realistic & interesting characters and except for a select few (mostly from the ps2/3d games era) I honestly adore all the characters.
I love that they’re both ICONIC and IRONIC, and despite their supernatural abilities and exceedingly and excruciatingly tragic lives, I believe they are two of the most relatable and characters who one can sympathize with the most. I called it their duality, but also, it’s their complexity and humanness that initially intrigued me to nab Hanzo Hasashi/Scorpion and Kuai Liang/Sub-Zero as my dual-muses (obviously)!
To begin, the premise of my blog’s creation (based on the word cathexis, which means THE CONCENTRATION OF MENTAL ENERGY ON one particular person, idea, or object (ESPECIALLY TO AN UNHEALTHY DEGREE - which I headcanoned here). Basically, it has to do with Hanzo’s most woeful tragedy that only has brought him a vicissitude od descension; with the loss of his life, his family and his clan, he has lost self-control, governance, freedom and humanity. By accepting the hubbed hell and excruciating suffering by letting himself be forged in hellfire, Scorpion not only lengthened his life (if he were to simply accept his fate without vengeance, then Hanzo Hasashi obviously would have not existed ever), he found the sole, one-track mind to seek out the one who annihilated his life to charcoal dust and exact revenge, to cause equally excruciating suffering against anyone who had been complicit in his clan’s demise (most notably Bi-Han, Quan Chi, Shinnok and Sektor, amongst the others who are subordinates under them).
Despite Scorpion’s motive being immoral and wrong, I cannot help but to let it justified, because he too, is inwardly and outwardly suffering through his own hubbed hell and chaos and insanity. Through anger, there’s an associated sorrow and suffering and through vengeance, there’s self-destruction and emptiness that’s so humanly relatable and connect to. It’s also the universal idea that the concept of self-sustenance and familial love is what serves as the foundation of anyone’s fueled desire, responsibilities and duties.
Through his suffering, depression and PTSD that continue to haunt him, despite taking more than two decades to free himself from the shackle of the past and let Harumi and Satoshi’s death become the fuel for his fiery passion to protect the Earthrealm at all the cost and regain his humanity and redeem himself, Hanzo’s redemption arc is essentially what drove me towards Mortal Kombat and especially MK11. It is a poignant, emotionally-changing makeover of an individual who literally has gone through hell and back, to be killed multiple times only to be resurrected and come back even more stronger, and gradually purified towards the good side with his solemn vow becoming evermore stronger. I especially like the fact that the franchise’s quintessential antihero got a huge transformation, to serve the side of good for seemingly the first time, without wrath and revenge, only to meet the most noblest death one can suffer through the all (through the allegory of retelling of The Scorpion and The Frog).
Kuai Liang is one of those people who you immediately feel sympathetic for; he’s your quintessential good guy who has also suffered so many hardships, yet the stacked experiences of the past has only made him kinder and wiser; he IS perhaps the most miserable character (next to Hanzo) in my opinion.
His clan (or most of it anyway) gets forcefully converted under Cyber Initiative. And that's after Kuai Liang rebuild it piece by piece, to add insult to injury.
His protégé Frost absolutely hates his guts, betrays him, cyberizes herself and even leads the new Cyber Initiative that perverts everything his Lin Kuei vision stands for. He's obviously hurt by it too, as seen in one of his intros ("Was I such a bad mentor?").
His friend Cyrax has to be put down literally right after he's freed from the cyber mainframe.
His other friend Smoke is trapped in Netherrealm according to Noob Saibot (Bi-Han) who taunts him with his.
According to his Story Ending, his biggest wish is to redeem his brother which is quite obviously not happening anytime soon without the Hourglass and in the main story line.
From many of his intros it seems that as a Grandmaster, he lives a lonely life. He straight up tells Cetrion that "love gets in the way" and both Jax and Johnny note that he doesn't socialize much outside of his Lin Kuei duties.
He makes peace with Hanzo and both become respected equals and brothers in arms. Hanzo then gets promptly killed by D'Vorah and Kuai Liang is understandably upset about it ("This is for Hanzo" intro with D'vorah).
In a lot of his intros with Jade, he constantly badgers her to join the Lin Kuei and she always refuses (funnily enough, in her intro with Scorpion she's more than eager to prove she can join the Shirai Ryu, despite not being from Earthrealm).
He keeps getting his ass whooped in almost all trailers or promotional videos.
Add on top all he had to endure throughout MK9 and the MKX comics (forcefully cyberized, killed by Sindel, then painfully "remade" again into a Revenant, gets tainted by the Kamidogu dagger, Scorpion almost kills him etc.).
Sub-Zero deserves major respect. He’s been through all this, and wasn’t seduced by Kronika’s promise of a new era and still remains resilient and headstrong and a beacon of hope in Raiden’s army against the Keeper of time.
I obviously concentrated on Hanzo and Kuai, because I love them much more than the other MK rosters (obviously), but I definitely agree that Netherrealm Studios has done such an amazing job not only fleshing out their characters and giving them relatable growth and development, but different facets of their characters that become so intriguing and contradicting in a sense. Hanzo could be stern, hot-headed and intimidating outward, yet he’s perceptive, astute and compassionate to those who deserve his trust, loyalty and love. Kuai is your ever-stoic, phlegmatic individual who hides all of his pain and suffering inward, yet he’s so open about his philosophies and is able to crack ice puns or partaking in pranks, etc. They’re so multifaceted and the possibilities are endless, which makes them two of the most amazing characters.
TL:DR; I FUCKING LOVE THEM SM.

𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐄𝐓.
full name . Katherine Emmeline Teller pronunciation . Kath-rinn nicknames . Kat, Katy (by VERY few), Katy Darlin’ (by Chibs only and possibly Fiona), the little princess

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS.
hair colour . Blonde eye colour . Blue skin tone . Pale body type . Petite, athletic accent . American (Californian) dominant hand . Right posture . Kat is a strutter. Confident walk, heels of her boots clicking against whatever surface she’s walking on. She’s the type of girl that exudes the whole ‘don’t mess with me’ vibe. Always has been. And when she’s angry? One look at her coming and the gathered crowd will part like the red seas.
Makes it hard to forget she is an actual tiny human being. One surrounded by big ass biker dudes. Which may be part of the reason she struts through life. Keeping up with the boys. But when she’s hurt. Vulnerable. It’s evident just how tiny she is -- curled up on herself, hugging her knees to her chest.
tattoos . Depending on the verse, she’s got a list. In all verses she has the gemini symbol on her right wrist representing the fact she and Jax are twins. Once Jax dies, his death date goes underneath. She has a sugar skull on her right shoulder with JT’s death date worked into it. On the right side of her ribs is a child’s hand print with Tommy’s name and death date. A wrap of briars encircle her hips. Abel and Tommy’s names adorn her left foot.
In any verse where she gets with Opie, she gets the ursula major constellation on the inside of her left thigh for him. The outside of her left thigh has Ellie and Kenny’s names.
Then after Gunner and Harley are born, both their names go on her left arm. Gunner on the outside and Harley on the inside. most noticeable features . Physically? Probably her tattoos. And the fact that she can be identified as a Teller almost on sight. Personality wise? Her temper. The fierceness in which she will defend those she loves.

Jax (twin brother); Tommy (younger brother; deceased) parents . Gemma Teller (mother), John Teller (father; deceased), Clay Morrow (stepfather) parental involvement . Her parents were involved in her life as a child but when her mother became sick with cancer; her world changed. Her father was distant and she was always out. Gemma Teller became someone who raised Tara into her teenage years.
ADULT LIFE
occupation . Works at Teller-Morrow Automotive -- running the office and doing detail work; bartender close friends . Opie Winston, Tara Knowles, Hayden Grazer, Mateo Vellenueva relationship status . Verse Dependent (though my OTP is Kat x Opie) financial status . Comfortable driver’s license . Yes criminal record . Yes, from her teenage years. Mostly shoplifting, hot wiring cars...
SEX & ROMANCE.
sexual orientation . Bisexual romantic orientation . preferred emotional role . submissive | dominant | switch | unsure. preferred sexual role . submissive (though only those who have had her in the bedroom know that) | dominant | switch | sex repulsed libido . Fairly high turn ons . Loyalty, dominance, someone who is not afraid to get a bit rough with her, nice smile, someone she can talk to, who will respect the place the club has in her life turn offs . Whiny little bitches
love language . Physical Touch relationship tendencies . When it comes to a real relationship, Kat has one type and one type only. ACTUAL HUMAN REDWOOD TREES. But because, outside of said human trees, Kat is absolutely crap at love, she has a history of falling into bed with the wrong type of guy.

Sketching; playing around with new designs for her detail work; doing stuff with the kids, just sitting around in the backyard smoking and drinking with her brother and Opie, watching bad TV mental illnesses . None physical illnesses . "The family flaw” -- she like so many others in her family was born with the congenital heart defect; but like with Jax, hers has never caused her major issues. Something she feels more than a little guilty about. left or right brained . Right fears . Losing the people she loves (esp Jax, Opie, the kids); Spiders self confidence level . Kat’s confidence level is just fine. She needs no more confidence. vulnerabilities . JT’s memory. Finding out he was another family in Ireland pretty much wrecked her. Learning that had he lived, he probably would have left them. The kids. She’d do anything for them.

Marluxia
How I feel about this character: Villain wise, he was pretty cool, though not my favorite nobody.
All the people I ship romantically with this character: errr......I don’t really have any
My non-romantic OTP for this character: Larxene. they’re totally those bffs who would just stand there sipping ice coffee and judge people.
My unpopular opinion about this character: I don’t think I have one to be honest.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: That he wasn’t offed in Chain of Memories? Like I feel like all the nobodys could have had better storylines.
Sonya Blade
How I feel about this character: I mean she’s pretty badass, but not one of my favorites in the series
All the people I ship romantically with this character: Kenshi. I just really like the idea of them together.
My non-romantic OTP for this character: Jax, Kenshi, Johnny
My unpopular opinion about this character: I don’t think her and Johnny should have gotten married and I really don’t care to see them back together. I’m glad we got Cassie out of it, but I just don’t care for them together.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.: Be a better mother to Cassie? I just feel like that relationship is super strained.
Raphael Santiago
How I feel about this character: I love him. I don’t agree with everything that’s happened in the show involving his character, but he’s one of my favorites.
All the people I ship romantically with this character: Simon, Meliorn
My non-romantic OTP for this character: Magnus!!
My unpopular opinion about this character: I hated the story line with Isabelle. It was awful for both their characters.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: What I said above, they should have never done that storyline, nor should they have ever had Raphael torturing someone. As much I love his character, his story lines have been absolutely terrible.
Jennifer Walters
How I feel about this character: Okay so as a kid, she was one of my favorite characters. Sadly, I haven’t been keeping up on marvel comics, so I can’t answer much more than this question. :/
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I would love to have seen her show up in the Daredevil show. Like how could would it be to see a live action version of her and then to see her maybe go against Matt in a trail?
