[restinslices]

How do you think earth realm boys would be like around their crush?

Haven’t made moodboards for them so this is all I got rn

Johnny Cage

He would be incredibly shy 

^ That's something I would say if I lost it 

Am I suffering from lack of sleep? Yes. Have I lost the plot? No. 

Johnny is a huge flirt. He was flirting with Kitana and he hardly knew her 

And I'm pretty sure a lot of his MK1 intros is just him flirting or being a little shit 

So with that being said it’s obvious to everyone 

It’s obvious at least that he finds you attractive. The problem would be trying to figure out whether he’s just being Johnny or if he actually likes you 

Which would be difficult 

He flirts, he makes sly jokes, he says how much you should be with him and that he could totally handle you, how great you’d be together and a whole bunch of other shit

Like I said though, the main problem would be knowing if he’s joking or not 

But I think if you simply asked “dude, are you joking?” He’d say “no” immediately 

But Johnny’s eyes tend to wander so you wouldn’t be wrong for being hesitant 

It’d be dogshit if you were just his distraction for the month 

You’d know he’s serious though because he keeps going for months 

Obviously you’ve encountered other attractive people but he doesn’t seem to care about them and his eyes are always on you 

A model could walk by and he’d be too busy pulling your chair to notice 

That’s how you’d know he’s serious. It’s been months and he’s still focused on you? 

Whether or not you share those same feelings is a different story 

Kenshi Takahashi 

Probably one of the hardest to tell 

Idk if this is a headcanon I made up or if it’s canon but I feel like Kenshi is good at hiding certain emotions 

If it’s an emotional moment then yeah, it could slip but this is something more casual 

He wouldn’t say anything but he’d do things for you 

You’d mention you haven’t had time to cook because you’ve been busy and he’d offer to help with whatever 

He’d ask your opinion on stuff first as well 

As friends he makes sure you’re included but it’s even more so if he has a crush (this is not correct English but I cannot think of how else to put this)

One of the other guys would make some joke about him being in love and he’d look at them in a way that would let them know they were right 

Kenshi is not 10 so trying to blackmail him won’t work 

His eyes are always on you and even though he knows he shouldn’t be jealous of other people that are close to you, he can’t help it 

There’s two voices in his head. One says “just tell them”, the other says “you’re gonna mess up your friendship”

So he’d continue to be a little butler lowkey until he actually felt like he had to get a move on 

If someone showed genuine romantic interest in you, then he’d start moving 

He’s either gonna be stereotypically sweet and get flowers and shit or he’s just gonna ask you out at a random time 

Like I said, whether or not you accept his invitation is up to you 

Dude is probably tense as fuck the entire time he’s asking 

Kung Lao

Similar to Johnny 

Kung Lao has such an inflated sense of self, you not liking him makes no sense to him 

Does that mean he just tells you right away though? No

There’s lots of things that make no sense and happen anyway so he plays it safe 

And by safe I mean he is incredibly obvious but doesn’t just straight up tell you 

Lots of flirting and lingering looks 

He does a lot of extra shit then looks to see if you saw it 

It’s like when a kid does a cartwheel then looks to make sure their parents saw them 

He also straight up asks for compliments 

“That was a really good kick, right?”

Sure Kung Lao

He likes compliments way better from you now

He kinda acts the same because everyone knows he has a big head but the flirting makes it obvious 

And Raiden definitely knows. Kung Lao told him because why wouldn’t he?

Anyone joking about stealing you away bothers him a lot more than he’d like to admit 

He’s both “I’m Kung Lao. You have no chance” and “but what if they do have a chance?”

Admits his feelings way sooner than Kenshi 

Probably does it extremely casual too just to rip the bandaid off 

You’re standing next to each other and he’s like “we should go on a date on Friday”

Well since you asked so nicely-

Who’s turning down Kung Lao? Let’s be fr for a second 

Raiden

Doesn’t he like Kitana and it was incredibly subtle? I only found out because of intros 

So with that being said, I think it would be difficult to tell 

He’d act the same way he does as your friend 

I think his fear of messing up your friendship would be higher than everyone else 

So he doesn’t say anything 

In a different post I said he’d give you produce as a gift and I think that’s still the same here 

He’s gonna still have the hookup so food is a frequent gift he gives you to show his affection 

He also offers to do tasks for you 

When it comes to training, he’s probably noticeably softer towards you 

His excuse is “oh, I didn’t notice I was doing that”

It’s a terrible lie 

Everyone at some point finds out because he’s constantly staring at you and is soft towards you 

Raiden is a pretty calm person but he’d actually strangle Kung Lao if he said anything. He’d get a toddler’s grip 

You’d probably find out about it from the other guys instead of him 

And you’d think they’re just fucking around like they always do 

Raiden still refuses to confess. He doesn’t wanna confess then lose you completely 

And tbh he’d probably take so long, you’d get into other relationships and he’d just watch 

Finally though after 279373 years he’d confess which would free him from his emotions and Kung Lao harassing him 

Liu Kang

I think there’d be two stages to this 

The first stage is “I’ll just ignore it”

During this stage he’ll try to ignore his feelings for you because bullshit comes after Liu Kang constantly and dragging you into that is something he definitely doesn’t wanna do 

There’s a good chance you were in the previous timeline and you died horribly so he wants to stay away so he doesn’t fuck up this new life for you 

During this time he’d compliment you on your skills and be a lot more patient with you when it comes to you screwing up (which is something everyone does)

He either involves you in a lot of missions of sidelines you so you won’t be hurt 

Which is kinda shitty because that means he’s sending other people into dangerous situations 

Soon after this stage, he enters the second stage 

This stage is the “fuck it” stage 

Liu Kang does not have a good history when it comes to romance 

He was way too slow and lost Kitana (multiple times I think. I don’t remember what happened in the dlc in MK11) and now in this timeline, Kitana has no memory of them and has no feelings for him. Then he saw his Kitana but they can’t be together. 

Because of this he realizes that he has to start moving quicker and prioritizing his happiness 

So he just asks 

It’s better to hear “no” than to always wonder what could’ve been 

But bitch who is turning down Liu Kang? Don’t be stupid 

He’d probably take you to a secluded spot and say how he feels and ask you to go on a date with him 

It seems like it came out of nowhere but if you review what’s happened between you two, it’ll start to make sense

platypioctopi replied to your post: oh god, i dreaded this - people giving me advices...

I FEEL YOU i had someone go out of their way to ask if i was new because in stats an MK1 weapon is still the most used even though ive been playing since….November i think but hey man they’ve gotta boost their crippling self esteem issues somehow since apparently real social interaction isn’t doing it for them [p.s. from wat i have seen u good dude]

idk man, shit is, the more i play warframe, the easier a lot of stuff gets. but the game won’t fucking tell you about how to play easier, and it sure as hell won’t make itself easier for you - you’ll have to eat shit, try different weapons and frames, mod the shit out of them, forma stuff, get something right, eat shit again. the easy part starts after lots of investment. i don’t complain - i like the grind, i like commitment this stupid mmo demands - but it’s seriously not “easy” when you just genuinely had to work hard for that. and with variety of playstyles warframe offers, i pretty easily see myself just not being able to be with some kind of weapon or a warframe just because they don’t fit into how i like to farm my wars

my current playstyle and available arsenal is quite bad for fighting a very fast and jumpy boss with regenerating shield with a bow only, so yeah, that’s hard for me

and about mk-1 weapons and stuff: you know, it’s really not indicative. for me there was some point when i got enough creds, resources and researches ready and new weapons testing fucking started like frenzied. i haven’t touched my “most used” orthos prime in months, and nothing new climbed up to throw is onto second place because i’m really testing new stuff and enjoying a variety of melee weapons

also, if i see someone with lato on their most used secondary, i’ll just know that i must fear the person who actually managed to kill things with that so-called gun

After the disastrous event this past weekend in Earth Wars, Let’s talk about their crystals, the loot boxes of the Transformers world, for a minute.

    So what happened this past weekend? Space Ape went a space bridge too far, and lowered with the drop rate for the newest character on a Leader board event to abysmal rates. How low? We at the Allspark, have a family of 8 alliances(one of which in the top 30 of the world), with hundreds of players, opening thousands of these crystals, and we had a mere ten players get the new bot after the rewards went out Monday morning. The vast majority of the rewards were pitiful amounts of premium shards and spark.

This greatly upset almost all of the players, prompting some to start a movemnt to lower the gmaes ranking from five stars to 1 star on Google play and the IOS App store. It even upset the players in the top five teams that always spend anywhere from $200 to $500 for each player every Leader board event to ensure that they get the four star version of the newest bot. Seeing how upset their most valuable players were, Space Ape addressed the issue, acknowledged that it was their fault, and promised to nothing about it.  See below for Space Ape’s response:

    I think that this just brings to light Space Ape’s extremely shady and almost illegal business practices. Primarily on how their practices work with players gambling with crystals.

For those of you that don’t know or haven’t played the game, Crystals are used in the game to power the Space Bridge, which is how you get new characters to add to your forces. The character that you get is completely random, with the only guarantee is it be at least a certain power level based on the crystal that you use. There are numerous types of crystals that you can buy, and a few that you can earn. The few that you can earn are two star crystals, three star crystals, four star crystals, five star crystals, and special crystals that you get from participating in the weekend events.

You can earn the various star crystals by getting shards from duplicate bots from lesser crystals. For example, if you were to open a two star crystal and get a duplicate bot, it would give you 60 three star shards. Get 2000 three star shards, and you can turn it into a three star crystal. Space Ape has also recently introduced Premium Crystal Shards to the game. These shards work similarly to the example, but they unlock a premium crystal. Now these Premium crystals have been available for years now and can also be bought. They give you either a two, three, or four star bot. Now the percentage of these crystals is abysmal with 91% chance of a two star bot, 8% a three star bot, and 1% a four star bot.  All of these crystals will favor more common types of bots, such as warriors, gunners, and flyers. Special bots, triple changers, and medics are much more rare. This can create an issue with the three and four star crystals. An experienced player in a good alliance can earn a three star crystal about twice a month and a four star about once a month. After a while, you will go six months before you get a non-duplicate three star bot.

  The crystals that you can buy however, are different. They sell them to you in two different ways, in game currency, called cyber coins, and straight up cash. Now, while you can earn cyber coins, you earn them at such a rate that you might be able to buy 12 premium crystals over the course of two years before you run out ways to generate the in game currency. Remember the odds of that crystal? You might get a single three star bot with in game currency, and it will probably be a duplicate at that point.

The way they sell you bots for actual currency, is rather dubious as well. They will sell you bundles where you pay $19.99 for 10 character crystals with a slightly increased chance of getting a three star or higher bot of that particular character. An example of this is the Wheeljack bundle that is currently for sale. Out of the 10 crystals, you will get something like 4 two star Wheeljacks, 4 various other two star characters, and the other two might be a three star or higher bot. They won’t always be. Most of the time they won’t be anything but two star bots in the bundle. Also, the three star bot that you get won’t always be a Wheeljack in this situation, but could be a three star version of another character even though you bought a bundle trying to get a three or four star Wheeljack. If that wasn’t bad enough, once you start buying these $20 bundles, Space Ape will stop offering them to you, and start offering you $40 bundles with twice the amount of crystals to double your odds of getting the virtual character that you want. Eventually, they will start offering you bundles for even more! You can pay for $100 bundles to increase your odds of finally getting the last part of that combiner you want or that special bot that you could use.  You probably won’t, but it is possible.

The silver lining here is that once you spend over $500 on this game, you be inducted into their VIP program. That allows you to get 10 free premium crystals for both the Autobot and Decepticons to keep you motivated and playing the game so you will keep on buying more bundles!

  But what about the Free Crystals that they give out every 8 hours? Well, let’s talk about  that. You have to be in the game to receive these crystals so you will have to be online 16 hours a day to get all three. Most people don’t want to wake up at 6 AM, log in at 2pm, and then open up the game at 10PM right before going to sleep. It eventually wears you out. However, even if you stay up 16 hours every day and get the free crystals three times a day like clockwork, you will soon realize that the crystals are worthless. Last year, Space Ape introduced Power Cores to the game. Since that point, they changed the code of the free crystals to make more useful crystals more rare. Before the update, you had a 4% chance to get a three star bot from the free crystal. After the change,  the odds are about 1%. So even if you got three crystals a day, you are looking at an average of a month or more before you got a three star bot, which is all likely to be a common bot and end up being a duplicate of one you already have, thus turning into a small amount of four star shards and some useless power core.

Lets take a more detailed look at the free crystal results. After tracking it for about a year, I can give you these results.  I have recorded the last 633 free crystals, all of which starting after Space Ape made the change to ratio following the introduction of Power cores. Of these crystals, 272 were battle boosts with 80 being MK3, 113 were MK2, and 79 were MK1 versions. This is actually not that bad, as the battle boosts are fairly diversified and some of them are legitimately useful. I should note that you are more likely to get either a Field repairs or a nano frost boosts over the others. Then we get to the 92 Spark rewards from the crystals. 15 were a mere 200 spark, 32 were 400, 42 were 800 spark, and 3 were a semi useful 2500. This would give you enough spark to do a level 5 upgrade to the special ability of one bot after a year. Again not really all that useful in game.

However, when we start to look at the bots, that is where it takes an interesting turn. Most of the 264 bots that came in the free crystals were mere 1 star bots. 193 of them to be exact. I think that anyone that has played this game knows that the 1 star bots are useless after a couple days of playing. 62 bots were two star bots, which also lose their usefulness after a few months of playing. 9 were 3 star bots, which are actually useful up until the end game zones. I should note that two thirds of these three star bots were duplicates and most of them were the more common bot types such as gunner, flyer, and tank. Also, out of all the bots, you are most likely to get a 1 star Rust renegade or a 1 star Aerialbot, with them taking up a 172 of the crystals.

  Now I know that this is a Pay to win, “free” to play game. I know that Space Ape has to make their money somehow, but these odds are straight up horrible no matter what crystal you are opening. You can very easily spend hundreds of dollars on this game chasing after a particular character and be unsuccessful. This free to play game can easily cost you thousands of dollars, as you gamble on getting a new useful bot.

  In my opinion, Space Ape is deliberately lower the odds of the crystals for the non-Chinese market.  Space Ape is already making money selling you fuel packs to power your shuttle to attack more during events. They are raking in money hand over fists to sell you cyber coins to not only speed up your base development but also get your bots out of their post battle cool-down period faster. This cool down period last for over an hour for bots at the competitive level, and to skip it for the entire team, would cost you about $2 in cyber coins each time. Both of these speed-up functions require massive amounts of money to speed things up. An example would be that it takes about $20 worth of Cyber coins to skip a week’s worth of upgrade time on just one of your base defense upgrades.

MK1 X Targaryen Reader Intro

Mixing my two interests. Plot is somehow the reader ended up in the MK1 universe and like a Targaryen, they wanna conquer shit. Ik Targaryens are humans but uhhh, I mean… giving them powers to do with fire, increasing madness in someone and summoning whatever dragon they want ain’t gonna hurt yall. Also, just because they’re a Targaryen doesn’t mean they’re white. idgaf what GRRM says. This is MY blog.

✎ The Lin Kuei will be the ones to conquer the realms!

✎ Bend the knee to me, or I will bring fire and blood

✎ Bend the knee or by sunset your Lin Kuei clan shall end

✎ Your threats do not frighten me!

✎ You haven’t a chance against the Lin Kuei Grandmaster

✎ You couldn’t withstand your brothers fire. Do you really think you can withstand mine?

✎ If you play nice, I may allow you to be one of my whores

✎ I’ll have your tongue for that insult!

✎ Do you truly believe your flames are hotter than mine?

✎ There is only one way to find out

✎ The realms are not yours to conquer!

✎ I’d like to see you try and stop me oath breaker

✎ Swear your loyalty to me and I will allow your clan to live

✎ I’d rather die than make my people your slaves!

✎ To die before making a name for yourself… how pathetic

✎ A future you will soon face

✎ Oh no, please don’t attack me with air

✎ You won’t be mocking me when you’re choking on it

✎ In Westeros, smallfolk know who their rightful leader is

✎ This is not Westeros and you are not our leader

✎ How many people have been killed because of your family?

✎ Are you, an assassin, lecturing me about death?

✎ The Shirai Ryu will not allow you to-

✎ Your clan will have no choice but to obey

✎ You have traitors among you because they do not fear you

✎ Their treachery is not a show of my failings

✎ Allow me to show you the wrath of a Targaryen

✎ Allow me to show you the wrath of a god

✎ You have the markings of a dragon, but what else?

✎ Continue with your outrage and you will see

✎ I have erased whole timelines you tyrant

✎ Then getting you out the way first will benefit me

✎ To be tricked by your own self… I can’t even laugh. It’s too funny!

✎ Do not underestimate me because of that one moment

✎ I hear we would have to marry if we wanted to form an alliance

✎ Do you truly think I would marry a low born sorcerer?

✎ Ally yourself with me and we could take down Liu Kang

✎ Me? Need your help? *laughs*

✎ Bend the knee or I will have you begging for mercy

✎ I beg and kneel to no one

Welp, here ya’ll go. I haven’t done MK1 intros in a hot minute, which I don’t know why I haven’t since I like doing them and they’re easier to do than headcanons. Idk if I’ll make a part 2 and who I’d do. I’ll figure it out later. Hope ya’ll enjoyed.
