I have Kitana-centric liulaotana headcanons! :D

Kitana was 5 (in Earthrealm years, the Edenian ages are weird) when Edenia was conquered so Shao Kahn practically raised her. And sometimes she finds herself missing him, yes he was a terrible man, but he was her father. It's hard for her to separate Shao Kahn the conqueror and Shao Kahn her father. He never raised a hand to her outside of training, even then he knew when to pull his punches, he made sure she ate, he spoiled her with new weaponry and armor, he told her stories of his time in Onaga's army, he taught her his culture and traditions.

Traditions that include his dragonian courting rituals. Before she and Liu Kang got together, but after she realized she had feelings for him, she attempted to court him. It went as well as you expect.

It started simple with her not wearing neck armor around him. Which then evolved into tops that exposed her collarbones and parts of her sternum. Exposing this part of the body is a sign of vulnerability as it's an area that has a lot of kill points. Kang didn't think much of this and he told her he liked her outfit. She took this as her cue to proceed.

The next step was to present him with a skull, as a sign of strength. She remembers Kang saying his favorite animals were reptiles, so she heads to the Michidou dens. Let's just say Kang didn't know how to react when he was given a dragon skull.

Now to give him a part of her, to show devotion. Usually, dragonians give their desired teeth, but Edenians don't shed and grow their teeth back, so she has to improvise. This leads to an awkward conversation where Liu Kang has to explain why he has a small jar of nail clippings and loose hair in his house. ("I don't know, Kitana gave it to me and I'd feel bad if I threw it out.")

She starts to steal his clothes and sniffs and cuddles them until they no longer smell like him and smell like her instead before she gives them back. Others need to smell her on him to know that he's off-limits and she's already staked her claim. It's a bonus that he smells so good, but maybe that's just her.

She keeps courting him, but it doesn't feel like it's going anywhere. She ends up venting to Jade about it and Jade sets out to give him a piece of her mind for leading Kitana on. Only to find out he has no idea what she's talking about, he genuinely thought Kitana was just being nice, if not a bit strange. After an explanation, Jade drags him back to the palace so these two idiots can have a long talk. They end up dating each other after that.

Polyamory is common for dragaonians so she didn't think much about Liu Kang dating Kung Lao, though her possessiveness is a bit of a problem.

Then she started to notice how strong he was. She knew he was strong beforehand, he had to be, but seeing it outside of battle so casually was... attractive. And he smelt good.

It was far too late when Kang realized he had forgotten to tell Lao about how he and Kitana got together.

ohohohoho my friend your Kitana is amazing

She doesn't like to talk about the fact that she misses Shao either bc she knows what he was and that, logically, she should be glad he's dead. But she isn't. It was the right thing and she doesn't want to try and make it unhappen, but there are days when she wishes things were how they used to be, and she hates herself for it a little

She also sees him go shirtless around her and thinks he's reciprocating and spends a whole three hours giggling and blushing to jade about it

Liu Kang does keep the skull in his quarters, even though it takes up so much space and Kung Lao thinks it's the coolest, kinda envious of it. Kitana trails her fingers along the bone everytime she stays over, smiling to herself

She also gives him a bottle of her blood at one point which he finds thoroughly bizarre

Liu Kang won't ever admit it but he likes that his clothes would randomly start smelling like Kitana (he didn't notice them going missing bc he has like 5 sets of the same outfit)

Jade nearly kills Liu Kang before he can get his explanation out, she's not exactly known for her restraint

Kitana and Kung Lao have brief tug of war over who can put the most hickeys on Liu Kang, which the pyromancer finds himself somewhat worn out by

Its when she sees Kung Lao lift Liu Kang that she realizes she's attracted to him, but it isn't until Kung Lao lifts her up one handed that she decides to do something about it.

Luckily, Kung Lao did research into outworlder courting rituals when Kitana started making eyes at Liu Kang, so he knew what was going on when she was courting Liu (he didn't say anything bc he loves for chaos) and is eager to reciprocate.

Kitana is thrilled by this and their courtship proceeds much faster

Kung Lao also gloats to Liu Kang that he got a better skull than she had given Liu

“I think I could help with that,” Tyler joked, playfully flexing his arm. “I’ve got the muscles.”

“You sure do,” Kate replied, patting his arm once. “I’ll make sure to let Mom know you’ve volunteered to help.”

Tyler’s smile faltered. “Well now, I didn’t say that,” he said; Kate laughed, shaking her head again, a grin on her face that she couldn’t quite suppress. Javi’s laugh joined hers, and Tyler shot an equally betrayed look towards the rear-view mirror, eyes on Javi even as he spoke to Kate. “Oh come on, Sapulpa, don’t sacrifice me to the wolves like that!”

Or; Kate, Tyler, and Javi visit her Mom's house again - and Kate gets the push that lets her finally take a step towards what she wants.

many many isabeaus... and some sloopis's of course :^) !!!!

i like consolidating my doodles so that's probably what i'm going to do for the most part from now on (^^ゞ!

been rewatching s1 of leverage and it really hammers home how down bad hardison has been from the start. and it's not even the stupid flirting and telling parker she looks good in the bridesmaid dress.

when the team first gets together they don't really get parker. eliot calls her crazy about twice per episode, sophie clearly feels bad for her, and nate barely cares for anyone at this point. hardison, by contrast, always engages with her, answers her questions, listens to her concerns about the orphanages in the stork job, explains to her that they're a little more than a team, cheekily adresses her, while in character for the juror #6 job, just to make her smile. yes we all remember how parker stabbed the guy from the stork job with a fork, but also remember that, just moments before, while talking stone-faced to this guy she clearly loathes hardison managed to make her laugh with only a stupid vampire joke mocking the mark's accent. she thinks he's funny! they're in love your honour!!

one of the funniest things about the small but very real white collar fandom is that there’s a split right down the middle where half the fandom adamantly believes that Peter is Neal’s dad, and half the fandom swears that Peter is Neal’s bi poly boyfriend. and neither of them are really wrong????

Been four years, time for this again.

With the trajectory these redraws are going, Merlin and Gwaine are going to end up just,,, making out. Full on sloppy style right in front of Arthur.
