The "What the f**k are you talking about??" Face

[detshin]

uhm, how exactly will gosho develop the cousin thing in the manga.

I mean, I wouldn't know, honestly. What goes on in the mind of that man only he knows (and sometimes I doubt even that).

My opinion under the read more...

Personally, I've already stated many times that it's a trope I've liked and headcanoned for a long while now, and it's not like it's COMPLETELY out of the blue. The whole "they look the same" is a big factor, there have been references to them having some sort of "ancestor" in common, the Toichi and Yusaku tease was already there in the childhood case of Shinichi (where Toichi appeared and called Shinichi big bro btw 👀) and there was a time long ago that Gosho said something about it in an interview and that it was going to be talked about.

Anyway, point is, I could see this going in different ways. I would LOVE to see this being explored and dealt with nicely and seriously, but my hopes for that are low. He'll either just have it mentioned and never more explored or talked about (like with akemi and akai), or maybe in the mk manga now to talk about Toichi, I don't know?

Because honestly, I feel like people are getting hung up on the cousins thing and are forgetting about the confirmation of what we all have been fearing and it's that Toichi is indeed alive and both of Kaito's parents suck ass. And what scares me is the possibility of it being comedic or Kaito being okay with it or something when he deserves to have that be explored. He became a criminal because of it! And his parents know and aren't doing ANYTHING!

I've said this before, MK is not as shits and giggles as it seems. Story is pretty darn dark if you think about it. Kaito is one of if not THE most solitary (lonely) character of the dcmk universe. He is not as the fandom tends to represent him sometimes. That's not Kaito. The over the top, flirty, pompous one is Kid. It's a mask. A facade. Kaito is not like that, he is just a teen who is struggling to make real connections with people and who is terrified of being found out as a criminal and cannot for the life of him let people IN because they'll see right through him and whose "dead" dad taught him NOT TO SHOW HIS EMOTIONS.

Kaito NEEDS some support. Jii alone is not enough. His own parents have lied to him his entire life and he's constantly alone, grieving for something that is not real. He has Aoko, but he CAN'T let her in completely for obvious reasons. Hakuba's there, but same thing. And I'm sorry but Akako I don't really think counts either, he actively seems not to really even like her or whatever...

MY POINT IS. If Kaito can get some new family members that could support him... Why refuse it, no? I'm not talking about Yusaku because he's also been keeping him in the dark and all and hasn't really seemed to do anything about it. But Yukiko (yes I'm choosing to believe she's also oblivious to Kaito being put in that situation) and Shinichi? Oh, those two could do wonders for someone like Kaito, in my opinion. Because Yukiko is Yukiko (she was born to be the cool aunt), and Shinichi is... Well... Shinichi. He could understand Kaito and actively show him support and help. They COULD be amazing as family.

Now it's all just a matter of... Does Gosho WANT to go that deep into this? Or is he going to continue to disregard Kaito's suffering and not give him anyone to lean on?

Anyway, cousins Kaito and Shinichi rule!

[arttrampbelle]

Srry for the very heated. Very real. Very raw. And cery fucking angry vent below. Im sick of this shit in the mortal kombat "fandom" on here.

Cw: vent. Im Really fucking angry.

gonna ignore the trash heap dumpster fire that is the mortal kombat fandom and write my own mk stuff.

Thats the only mk that exists. The mk in my brain n heart.

Sorry not sorry but mk sucks now. Ed boon legitimately doesn't know or care to listen to the real fans. (He had the audacity to basically say street fighter was outdated when he hadn't done anything worth a lick of fucking damn in 30yrs that was decent and didn't backtrack on. Gameplay and story. Fuck off ed boon you boomer pathetic ass peice of trash. Go suck a fat dick n die. Fr.)

Oh yeah and called street fighter anime like when wtf is he doing making all the characters look so damn young like that sus af boon. Real sus.

Nrs has their egos so far up their asses. And so do these new "fans" who don't bother to care because they wanna just fuck a fictional character. (Dont get me wrong. I self ship,i love the characters too. But i actually have a working brain to know. There is more going on then whatever the fuck im oogling at you twats! Like fucking stop looking at your pathetic blorbos for five fucking seconds and look at the bigger picture here! Thirsty ass bitches. God damn. )

So yeah. Any mk stuff from mortal kombat is gonna be my own writing. So nrs can suck it. New fans can suck it and fucking die in a dumpster fire. They can kiss my whole asscheek.

Fucking ruined scorpion. They will fucking pay for that. Fucked over everything and everyone.

Kung lao. Got fucking nerfed....AGAIN!

Raiden reduced to bitch boi.

Liu kang need a say more?!

Shang tsung. A pathetic welp. Wtaf?! Also why tf is kronika back?! That absolutely makes no sense. Period. Yup. As i suspected. They lokified him. The fans are not villain fans unless they look "pretty" enough for them. Grossly making him like a teeny bopper. Like wtaf is wrong with y'all?! Shang tsung isn't supposed to be a fucking babyface. You weirdos!

Shao kahn. A diablo genshin impact villain rip off.

All the women have same face syndrome. Looking like kim k Instagram models. Gross. Like im sorry. They all look gross and dehydrated to me. All the same body types. All "conveniently attractive". Yeah. 30yrs and they still have yet to make a character look "average" or a character with a larger body type,fat character that wasn't a joke character or thrown to the side. Cant ever make the women normal looking. Nope gotta appease the loser men with porn models. And anyone who is a woman who falls for that shit. Thinking its hashtag girlboss doesn't help this. No. What would be. Is actually hiring and PAYING actual real woc models and voice actors to be in your games. But nope.

Nrs is lazy pathetic pos guys. Who just want money.

All the asian guy characters look like they took Lewis tans face and copy cut pasted it. Fr. They dont look good. At all. They do not look like they have any personality. Period.

Johnny is the only one that is different. Ofc the only white guy is done decent. Because they cant of course fuck up their precious little white dude to project their insecurities on. (Course they did fuck him up because everything thqt made johnny special is now gone. He just some douche who looks like jc)

The shokan are tiny af. Pathetic. Weak. Ugh.

And they wanna disguise this horseshit as something groundbreaking when it's not really. Most fans are not gonna pay and arm n a leg for a shitty game that you guys legit fucking ruined integral lore to.

All hiding it behind "oh but its a new world" no honey its a entirely new game Franchise only using mortal kombat in name brand alone.

Its not even mortal kombat anymore.

ITS SOME PATHETIC ASS DUDES FANFIC FROM A DC FANS BASEMENT ON WATTPAD.

So yeah im pissed.

So anything from me. Mortal kombat related.

Will be from my own writing.

Until nrs can actually pull their heads out their ass and clean house.

I wont be buying anything official from them. Like merch n games. They can suck it. All movies will be pirated. Etc.

I will play the shit i have,and watch and stick to the 95 movie n be done with it.

Fucking hell. They ruined scorpion!

Im just pissed.

[ya-ya-sestrahood]

YOU KNOW IT! top 5 sestra scenes! top 5 Rachel scenes/moments! top 10 ob scenes in general!

Oh boy, better open a Google doc.

TOP 5 SESTRA SCENES

1. Sarah delivers Helena’s twins! I remember a big question in the sestre fandom (all three of us) was if Sarah would be there for the birth, and then they gave us this? THIS?? The music! The flashbacks! The way they look at each other when it’s over! It’s almost too much, but it can’t be because it’s a sestre scene. Still a weepy mess over it.

2. Sniper scene! Sarah accepting Helena was all I ever wanted, so this one hit hard, especially after living through the months of Helena being dead. “Meathead” was an insult, suddenly it’s the best pet name. I mean, come on.

3. Convent scene! This one came along right when we needed it. They took our uncertainty about their relationship and put it all out on the table. Sarah is scared to let herself love Helena, but that’s okay. They’ll figure it out together. Also, they hold hands. Good.

4. Road trip! This should have been the entire show. Why wasn’t this the entire show?

5. Shower scene! Fifth best?? I know, I’m partial to the dumb happy fluff, I’m sorry. But it’s iconic, and there’s a hug so I still get that dopamine hit.

Honorable mentions to the scene in Maggie’s apartment, let’s have lunch, Sarah rescuing Helena from the cage, Sarah saving Helena’s life by GIVING HER HER BLOOD. There were a lot of good sestre scenes, but never enough good sestre scenes.

TOP 5 RACHEL SCENES

1. Rachel beats Sarah’s ass. Rachel stabs Sarah in the leg. Rachel presses on the knife with her cane. “You’re not immune to me, you cockroach.” “I’m the chosen daughter.” “This is mine. My time.” A fan fiction masterpiece, only it’s a real scene that happened.

2. Rachel gouges her eye out. Never have I cheered so hard while also wanting to crawl out of my own skin.

3. Rachel kidnaps Kira. Yeah, she got kidnapped every other episode, but no one did it quite like Rachel. No one snaps quite like Rachel.

4. Rachel does stuff with Paul. Is this scene gross or good? I say good. She makes him pour himself a glass of wine and then he doesn’t get to drink the wine. Fuck you, Paul. Take off your shirt.

5. Rachel puts a big needle in Cosima’s tummy. I’m still not totally sure what this scene is, but I like it?

10 OTHER GOOD SCENES IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER THAT I CAN’T NECESSARILY SAY ARE MY FAVORITES, JUST SCENES THAT SPRANG TO MIND

1. First episode, first scene. In a way, they never really topped this one, but can you really blame them? Other shows wish they could have an opening this good.

2. Krystal and Felix at the nail salon. We fell in love with this new character in like 5-10 minutes, and I think that’s pretty magical. She’s written kind of differently after this episode, but this is still the definitive Krystal to me.

3. Beth and MK at Beth’s apartment. THIS SCENE. “Please don’t leave me. I need you.” GOD.

4. CLONE DANCE PARTY

5. Sisters hanging out in Alison’s backyard. They’re all scared and they all make mistakes but THEY HAVE EACH OTHER. I just rewatched this scene and immediately teared up. It’s good. It’s good.

6. Paul blows himself up. It’s got Paul and Rudy and Coady, who gives a shit, right? I know. Somehow it’s still good.

7. Alison confronts Rachel. Rachel has never given her a second thought, and Alison manages to shake her to her core. I’m… very proud.

8. Sarah drunk on a bridge. This scene spawned two fics, so it has to be good. Seeing Sarah hit rock bottom sucks, but this is the kind of meaty character stuff the show needed more of. It feels like a glimpse at pre-canon Sarah.

9. Cosima and Evie and Kendall and the van. Oh yeah, the scene that led to Sarah drunk on a bridge is also good. Evie was a good villain, and she wasn’t even a clone.

10. Helena and Kira in the alley. More of a moment than a scene but: “What happened to you?” “I don’t know.” Helena’s not bad! She’s just scared and sad and alone, and you see it all right there in that moment and it’s heartbreaking. Best clone.

BNHA Rewatch: Episode 33 “Listen up! A Tale from the Past”

mysterylover123

Gran and Deku’s goodbye is strangely emotional for me. I wanna see them interact again. I’m hoping we hear more details of this backstory later on. 

“WHO ARE YOU? “ “DEKU-DESU”. I LIVE FOR THIS.

BAKUGOU’S HAIR OMG. It looks so bad on him. Without the jeans, the look is just lousy.

Tsuyu: How was your internship? Ochaco: Everybody was kung fu fighting. Those kicks were fast as lightning.

Anyway, Momo and Kirishima worry over their crushes, Shoto and Izuku, making it out in one piece. We get Momo in a verrry shippy close-up here as she worries for Shoto. The anime ships them, confirmed.

Nice going, Kaminari, now everyone thinks you’re the traitor.

IIDA’S BACK! YAY! So to sum up Iida’s character arc here, I like it. But it feels like he’s kinda been left on the backburner since then. He got a little development in the Camino ward arc, showed off some new moves in the Joint Training Arc...but otherwise, Iida’s kinda been dropped out of focus since this arc. Here’s hoping he gets brought back in again more in the future.

I just realized on this rewatch that Iida is not wearing his costume here, presumably because it’s still damaged from the Hero Killer fight. Continuity!

HAHA “not naming any names, but...” “dude, it was one time.”

No one has any faith in Deku to win. And, well, he doesn’t. But still...jeez, someone root for him! (Ochaco roots for Iida, BTW. Iidaraka! This ep is very shippy).

DEKU SUGOI!!!! I love full cowling. 

He still loses though. Darnit. I really wish he’d just flat out won.

As far as i’m concerned, that’s America’s ass.

HOLY FANSERVICE BATMAN. BTW, I wanna say that while I’m pretty receptive to fanservice of both genders, I think that the boys’ locker scene in this episode is sexier than the girls’, because they’re, well, natural. They’re casually getting changed and being themselves. 

The girls, meanwhile, are being intrusively peeped on by Mineta, so they look unhappy; they’re covering themselves, irritated, which makes you, the viewer, feel too bad to be into it. I like fanservice better when it feels natural, comfortable. Characters exploring situations that expose them to sexuality. That kinda thing. If we just saw the lovely ladies of Class 1-A changing like the guys are, it’d be different - and, in my opinion, better Fanservice.

Backstory time! To channel my first time reaction to this: Yeah, yeah, bring whatever you got, I don’t care. Backstory doesn’t interest me, I don’t need to know it, this ain’t gonna impress me...Oh? OFA secret origins? Well...OK I’m a little intrigued now. Go On.

HAHA OK you’ve sufficiently distracted me with comedy (LOL can you imagine how the fandom’s gonna flip out when S4 premieres and they call back to this scene? I effing can’t). We get some world building about OFA now, about how it can’t be passed unless Izuku wants it to be. Fanfics ahoy! 

BTW All Might sucks at metaphors.

ALL. FOR. ONE. Oh. my. god. You got me. I want to know. Tell Me!!! To get real, I looooove this backstory. Loved it when I first saw this ep. Love it still now. It’s so perfect. It feels real, and yet like something out of legend. 

The first part of it sounds like Marvel comics, the way characters are always trying to deal with the arrival of superpowers in recent times. Most superhero media never makes it beyond this beginning, the emergence of superpowers into the normal world. Honestly, until BNHA, I had never seen a show set many generations later, in a world where powers are just...part of life. 

Next, the AFO/OFA dichotomy, the brothers, their backstory...my god it’s so perfect. OFAMk1 is like Izuku, but looks like Tomura. AFO is like Tomura, but looks like Izuku (BECAUSE HE’S HIS DAD SORRY DAD FOR ONE THEORIST HERE).  Also the OST is amazing!

BTW OFA MK 1 also kinda looks like L. Is it just me? L from Death Note? Just with a diff color pallette? Anyway, the origin of OFA  is brilliant. Justice spawning from evil, as AM puts it, is a good way to sum up the whole situation.

HOLY SHIT THIS IMAGERY THIS OST THIS FORESHADOWING I CANT IT’S TOO GOOD

oh no

the feels this exchange “i can do anything’ holy crap this series.

A quick tease for the final exam arc, and then...AFO. OMG. 

I really enjoy this episode. Every bit of it is fun. Gran and Deku’s goodbye. Class 1-A antics. And the backstory. Holy crap the backstory. This is how you transition from arc to arc. Now, I also recall my thoughts on first seeing it: I was annoyed that it looked like we were building up to a new villain arc, because I wanted another classroom centric arc. Boy, was I in for a surprise.

BKDK CORNER:

He looks just like Bakugou! Two halves, same whole.

This image...it really just says it all, doesn’t it? How Bakugou really feels about Midoriya, from his POV anyway. This much more powerful, skilled and simply put, better than him, person, who looms over him like a challenge he can never hope to pass. (LOL Deku looks like he’s doing a ballerina jump here).

BEST GIRL OF THE EP: No new best girls in this ep

RANKER: Favorite Fan Theories

5. Eri will be the 10th user of OFA

4. AFO engineering Tomura’s experience in his childhood

3. Traitor-Uraraka (Mostly because she’s the only major character who hasn’t been eliminated, and I want it to be someone we care about).

2. Dad-for-One

1. Dabi=Toya Todoroki

[smugrenges]

hi I just saw a neat post from @onigiri-curry while doing a skim through the MK tag and thought it’d be neat to do! Tho cuz I don’t have buddies that lkay the games, Imma not do the last question. 

Also sticking it under a read more cuz damn it looks like too much to not put a read more. 

1.How long have you been with this franchise?

The first MK game I played was actually MK9, I think I only bought it in...I think 2012? Maybe 2013? So since then. 

2. Which character do you think has the most art in their tag on Tumblr?

I don’t check the tag often, but I see mostly Scorpion when I do check.

3. Who do you think has the least art in their tag?

Most 3D era characters

4. On a scale of “You suck” to “Outstanding!”, how many MK blogs did you find that either has Scorpion or Sub-Zero as their icons? (1-10)

Uuuuh, don’t make me laugh? again, I don’t really check that much to know

5. Opinion on the massacre that occurred in MK9?

At first it was “Holy fuck WHAT THE HELL?!” and when I replayed that part recently it was “Damn grandma really did that.”

6. If your an artist, which character do you draw/write the most? Which character so you struggle to draw/write?

I drew some characters a long long time ago, and I had trouble with Smoke, specifically his MK9 main costume. 

7. Opinion on the tag team, Noob Smoke? Would you like to see them come back?

I recently replayed Deception and did training with them and they were fun. It’d be nice to see something like that again tbh. 

8. Favortie MK artist/writer on Tumblr?

I’m not really follwoing any MK blogs atm, so I couldn’t really say. 

9. First MK game?

MK9!

10. What was the last time you played any MK games?

I’m about 95% sure it was last month? Cuz that’s when my friend fixed my 360 controller for Deception. 

11. Opinion on Horror characters appearing as DLC?

I would prefer characters from the actual series. Not super into guest characters at all. 

12. Favorite sound from the classic games? (MK1 to UMK3)

Shao Khan’s taunts? If they count. 

13. Favorite song from the soundtracks from the originals?

Like the album? If the album, 100% love Prepare Yourself and Chinese Ninja Warrior. If OST, if it counts, really dig the Netherrealm music in Armageddon. 

14. Favorite ninja?

Male, Sub-Zero. Female, tbh all of them lol

15. Opinion on the movies?

I had no problem with them, something to pass the time. 

16. What was the worst experience you had with the MK fandom or MK in general?

Oof, is this something fun lol. I was in secondary school at the time, I was I think 14/15, just moved into a new english class and I was sat next to this one guy who always talked outta his ass. And one day he asked me about video games, and I said I was into MK mostly. It was fine at first and then it got to the point where he’d mock me for liking it, and teased me for liking Mileena, his friends got in on it too and I spent the whole year being tormented for liking it. To this day I get scared mentioning that I like it to anyone because of that. 

17. Do you ship any characters?

Liu Kang and Kitana mostly lol

oh, everyone Sindel killed and not being dead, that works too

18. Would you like to work at Netherrealm?

When I was younger, I really wanted to work in game design, specifically Netherrealm, but that dream fell through, cuz art classes got shitty and I gave up on trying to even pass it.

19. Your view on Kronkia and Geras?

I really like Geras, but thanks to my IJ2 experience with fighting Bane, I am shit scared of grappler characters. His time based specials seem like a lotta fun. As for Kronika, idk yet, maybe I’ll have a better opinion when there’s more story mode material?
