HI OK so I’m afraid I don’t have drawing references and I’m in bed rn but anyways

SPECTRIL HUSBAND LORE.

cough cough anyways… oh btw spoilers

His name is Lyx! He is (my self insert I’m sorry) a tiefling rogue!

He used to do assassin jobs before the Infinights formed, and technically was an infinight? 🤷

After the disappearances of the Infinights, he stuck around with the interns to help them and well. Find his husband.

Wasn’t taken by Paralyte because he managed to escape by the skin of his teeth

When they found Spectril… well yeah he was a bit heartbroken but then learned apparently he though Lyx was dead??? As told by Paralyte, so Leonard assumed that TWO lovers of his were dead oh wow that’s sad

But alas the two fight over… well, committing a giant fucking genocide

Ultimately though he chooses to stay and help Spectril with the raid

Only to kind of backstab him and help the Ishbjorn and uhh whatever the other people were to stop fighting and save innocent civilians who couldn’t fight (children as an example)

Which leads to him and Spectril getting into a fight

Then everything is resolved

Spectril and Lyx happily catch up with each other

Like old married couple the entire time

When the origin of the Infinights came up, Lyx knew and didn’t say anything about it but chose to blame himself for not being strong enough to do it on his own (how stupid are you)

Yada yada

Spectril and Slique fucking dies

Heartbroken husband

He leaves the Infinights

Masked person leads the anarxs

New Infinights fight their bosses (Slujj, Inku, Quadron)

When defeated Anarxs come in with masked person

Spectril and Slique save the Infinights

Masked person takes off mask seeing Spectril and Slique

Masked person leading the anarxs is Husband

He tries to make the anarx go after him

Slique and Spectril save husband

Turns out Entropa made a deal with Lyx

Lyx took it as he was lost after Spectril “died”

Ended up controlling the anarxs the entire time

I’ll just leave it there in terms of in campaign plot…

Lowkey don’t know what his alias would be

Like Lyx is his real name

Oh yeah he came from a small tiefling village

Casted out for. Was it being trans? Lowkey forgot

Probably going to change that though

But yeah he did go to Boulderay at a young age and met Slique and Spectril— I mean cough cough Ostin and Leonard

Three of them were besties

After the events of the campaign Lyx becomes a bartender

Totally not also part of my first ever dnd campaign story which has Lyx and Spectril as husbands and the main tavern is Lyx’s tavern noooo—

Left horn broke off on a mission, and he gave it to Spectril

“Lyx… why?”

“Well why not give my significant other a part of me?”

Lyx is very cold.

His weapon of choice is a kusarigama!

In the rock climbing competition between the interns and Slique and Spectril, he uses the kusarigama to his advantage

Oh pronouns are they/them/theirs mixed with he/him/his sprinkled in

Human looking tiefling, old Lyx used to be purple tho

Pink hair (wow what a shocker)

Debating on keeping his heterochromia or just making both eyes purple…

Scar on covered eye because ofc 🙄

If y’all want more. Especially on BOTH Spectril and his husband. Lmk. I miss my husband.

A First Kanaphan Gifset | First's Crying Scenes (as Kim/Pan in The Shipper, as Yok in Not Me, as Alan in Moonlight Chicken)

It never ceases to amaze me that an actor who is known for their enormous, radiant smile, can deliver some of the most gut-wrenching crying scenes I've ever seen. First always manages to convey a really raw level of helplessness in his performances, which is what makes you empathise for his characters.

With Pan (as Kim), it was the enormity of the sacrifice, the yearning and loss for the life you haven't yet lived. With Yok, it was the crushing betrayal and disbelief for someone you chose to trust completely. With Alan, it was sheer mourning, the realisation that his relationship was truly beyond saving.

Quick question before I throw myself from the balcony:

In episode 11, does Pete use the word มวยเข่า / muay khao as in 'knee boxer' when he refers to his father's career? If that's the case, can somebody please make an proper analysis of the fighting choreography between Pete and Porsche in episode 10 in order to determine whether Pete followed his father's training regime or not.

hi sarah! so i never watched safe house just saw a few firstkhao moments that’s been cut by fans and only few days ago i saw the moment where khao asks first to give him sausage and first who already put a sausage in his mouth just. took it out??? and was ready to pass it to him??? and then khao clarified that it’s for someone else not for him and first immediately took a new one to give it and it was so hilarious and strange to me like what is these boys deal lmao like if khao wanted a sausage for himself he’d just eat the one from firsts mouth?? is it a normal occurrence for them?? i mean besties goals i guess but why are they like this i want to study them for science reasons 😭😭

Oh, yeah. That’s pretty par for the course with these two. Khaotung is absolutely amazing at taking care of his friends and First…tries his best. Like you can kind of see the logic. “Bestie wants sausages and the closest one is in my mouth, so I’ll just hand it to him.” His heart’s in the right place. I think.

To be honest, I’m kinda surprised Khao even corrected him. It reminds of this other moment from safe house where First took a slice of bread out of his mouth while they were playing a game and gave it to Khao to hold. And Khao just did it. We all need a friend like Khao, honestly 😂

May I have a word with you, please?" ... S: "Ray, be still." C: "What the f*ck is wrong with you Ray? Didn't I tell you that being friends was good enough? Why did you have to complicate things? And this damn hostel, you never wanted to run it with me in the first place. You did it just because you wanted something you could share with Mew. Bosten and I are just the third wheel. You never care about us. And if you think you're going to keep on seeing Mew, then I wish you good luck. But if you guys are not going to quit this behaviour, I quit." R: "Damn it!!!"

Khaos Reigns? More like Kill Yourself

i honestly went into khaos reigns with no care because i had already lost a deep interest and respect for the mess that mk1 became, but i came out caring a little. it took a lot of restraint to not post every single thought i had on the story and have a second meltdown similar to when mk1 was released. but i gathered my thoughts (kind of. this is just me rambling) and decided to put it all down in one post. 

btw when i say it's me rambling i mean it. like half review and half saying whatever the hell i want. if you need clarification or don't understand what i'm saying please ask. i'd also like to figure out what i'm talking about

i think this story mode was overall bad because it provided no actual expansion to the story. it kind of just was? like, liu kang’s timeline is safe at the end of the story and i don’t think there’s any repercussions to the timeline itself from havik’s invasions. the only thing that “changed” was bi-han turning into noob saibot- but that also has no bearing to the story. one of the things the dlc is centered around is bi-han’s transformation, but there is zero growth from him. him being forced into corruption via chaos did not change bi-han at all because he’s still the same power-hungry, stubborn, desperate man. the lin kuei is now under sektor’s command but she’s proven to be so loyal to bi-han that she’ll lead exactly him (in fact, she won’t even lead it because the tower endings show she breaks bi-han out of the temple of elements and continue his desires of lin kuei dominance.)

i understand they “rescued” bi-han so early from being noob saibot because in past games bi-han been noob saibot without growing- but it was still done so poorly that there was no need for noob saibot. like i just said: noob saibot is still just bi-han. nothing changed. nothing affected him. he had no purpose to be reintroduced as noob saibot. he was just kinda mad about it. it feels like a very cheap shot at bi-han’s character- somehow worse from how he was written in the base story. at least the base story allowed you to think on bi-han’s redemption or even his prolonged villainary. noob saibot proves he’s nothing but a brat who wants to be a brat for the sake of being a brat. (like sure his anger is understandable as it’s directed at havik for what happened to him but did it change anything about bi-han? he was prevented from killing havik because he let his anger and ego get in the way but what is new about that? that’s just bi-han. that could also be kuai liang. that could also be raiden. that could also be sonya blade. there is nothing special about his specific reaction.)

there just has never been any commitment to bi-han’s character nor has there been an attempt at understanding him besides “hey. he’s kind of an ass and sometimes his soul gets corrupted. wdym corrupted means he wasn’t always the evilest man alive?” i just don’t think they take him seriously as a character and he was quite honestly a nothing character in khaos reigns. i’ve said before but for a man who had a whole game dedicated to him it is shocking what they do to him. 

another thing they really fucked up on was making bi-han a frost/sektor wannabe and as a result the actual sektor we see is just. written horribly. 

both cyrax and sektor were not treated well by the story but i think sektor got the short end of the stick. cyrax’s biggest downfall was her lack of involvement in the story because you can get rid of her (and sektor) and nothing would change. however she still felt like cyrax. i liked her a lot. i liked her naivety to the lin kuei. her want to prove herself. her establishing that she refused to cross certain lines. i like her and i want kuai liang to stop harassing her and every other woman. 

but back to sektor because wowwwwwww. wow. i’ve said before bi-han’s bad characterization is also a result of kuai liang’s bad characterization and vice versa but add sektor to that list also. i’m going to speak as objectively as i can regarding her and bi-han because i have never enjoyed them as a ship the second they announced she was a woman. but i assumed there would be implications about their relationship but nothing set in stone like they did with cyrax and kuai liang being exes because making them canon would be stupid. it would make no sense because sektor is not a character who values the romantical life. there has never been such a connection between sektor and bi-han. sektor as a character- not a man or a woman- has always been involved with a storyline of a lack of humanity and the embrace of “perfcetion” in the form of lifeless cyborgs. sektor’s character would not make sense if they were romantically involved with anyone. yes that also includes cyrax because their relationship is too complicated to be boxed in as “love”. 

the moment i saw sektor and bi-han embrace each other i could only feel emptiness. 

it’s because she’s a woman. that’s it. that’s the only reason. this isn’t indicative that sektor and bi-han were banding in previous timelines because i’m so sorry to smash your fantasies of bi-han getting fucked because you’re incaplabe of viewing characters as anything BUT fuck dolls even if sooo much of their character contradicts that BUT. they would never. well actually maybe they would but only on my terms. but honestly it’s just a disregard of who sektor was because he’s a she now. (this isn’t only sektor. it’s cyrax becoming exes with kuai liang and it’s tanya needing to be paired with rain (her needing to be paired with anyone for her character to matter! i have more thoughts on tanya though that i will get into later)). it is not an incapability because writers are capable of writing women like normal people without the need for romance but it is a refusal to write women with the same regard as male characters because well. they don’t think women can exist as characters without being in some kind of relationship. they don’t want to examine sektor’s anger as frustration at being ignored and dismissed and her need to lead and her anger being an emotion that frustrates her and that leads her down a path of removal of humanity but instead she’s mad because of bi-han. she’s loyal to bi-han. why? because they’re dating. why? because it’s a new era. ok. but why are they dating? because she loves him. why? like there is no reason for this to happen to sektor. must a character who’s expressed no desire for humanity suddenly be open to love because they’re a woman? this romance is useless and goes against sektor. it’s not sektor it’s nrs hating women. 

it is mk11 sindel and shao but like. between people who do not give a fuck about each other.

also i know you can argue that bi-han and sektor were seen working together in sub-zero’s ending in mk11 but i did not like that either it does not make sense for bi-han to give a fuck about those robots.

before i forget i should touch on sareena because not even a snippet of her in a character ending? i don’t care if you ship them or not i don’t care if they canonically bang or not they’re still sooo intertwined with each others story that this entire thing was baffling. i read the leaks so i was aware sareena would not be involved in the story but still it feels so malicious and gross. she is evidence of bi-han’s humanity and bi-han is evidence of her sareena’s humanity. she’s so important in all the “is bi-han evil” arguments. besides havik she’s one of the most demanded characters that this just feels juvenile. i want sareena to have a story outside of sub-zero (and she does i think!! it’s barely there though) but their interaction is still so important. 

onto other things. 

ww2 johnny was BORINGGGGGGG. like this is your comic relief and for some reason he suckssss?? i do think he just existed to be a skin. how shocking. but genuinely the story would’ve done well without him and gave his slot to someone else. dare i say khamelon? it was very nice to hear her speak after years of not really mattering that much. i like that she’s a little sassy. i wanted to see more of her. fan of her dynamic with sektor. 

i am very tired with mk1 mileena because she is so very passive and listens to everything that liu kang demands of her. she’s a little cranky and wants to kill people because everyone is responsible for her mother’s death. i think empress mileena is just kitana on steroids. 

btw i just rememebred the wedding and i forgot about because who cares lol. kuai liang looked ugly what else can i say? ok fine i’ll talk about harumi ummmm it’s nice that she’s alive so that johnny cage can flirt with her. 

but seriously while it is nice to see her in game with an actual model it is gross how she is kuai liang’s voice of reason. he is a grown man he should come to the conclusion that killing cyrax is not a good thing on his own. also real kuai liang would not kill cyrax like the writers want hanzo the writers want hanzo the writers want hanzo the writers want hanzo 

speaking of kuai liang. and bi-han. i am sick of those two. i still don’t understand what brotherhood they ever had. like the one thing i really liked about those two is when bi-han and kuai liang started bickering while fighting khaos cyrax/sektor and the khaos version of themselves. like that shove bi-han gave kuai liang felt soooo brotherly. and it made me happy to see them like that for a couple seconds. also because kuai liang just took it like lollll you are such a little bro, bro. youngest siblings unite for being beaten up by their older siblings <33

speaking of younger siblings. tomas looked REALLY ugly. in general. :// also back to the wedding why was no one dressed up considering how good soooo many alt skins looked. cause if a white man came to my wedding in his ugly uniform. 

and now speaking of the good things… well the mediocre things also i guess. 

i already discussed cyrax maintaining some of her old self which i am happy about. her and ermac i loveeeee because they are their old selves while also suffering from minimal screen time (cyrax worse imo because she didn’t do much plot wise).

do you have any idea how good it was to see frost thrive in that arena? how she succeeded in killing everyone? how she killed mavado cause GOOD RIDDANCE. i truly thought she’d get a one second scene but no she got a 10 second scene. it isn’t anything but i am so happy for frost. 

one thing i thought i would be pissed about was wife tanya and her wife rain. i don’t care about tanya and rain as a ship. i think it’s a very boring ship. and i’m still not ecstatic about them but… there’s something charming about those two. and i think what i find charming is tanya’s character. like i think she pulled all the weight for not despising her and wife rain as a couple. 

i’m not really into mk1 tanya. and i don’t like that the second tanya we see is also a good version of tanya- but something about her works. it might just be that she’s in the main action? and it is because of whole “tanya can speak to dragons thing” cause that scene was SO GOOD. first the nervousness in her face and then the determination as she prepares to speak to orin. the calmness as she elevates to orin. i’m so happy we also got to hear the language being spoken. just the way tanya spoke to orin feels like we got a good serving of lore- of dragon lore. 

if i ever want a good tanya i want empress tanya. 

i ended up liking havik A LOT more than i thought i would. i think the only thing holding him back is his goals because they do not suit him. i’ve said before it’s tricky to write havik into a villain because his chaos is his neutrality. he is both kind and mean. helps both bad and good. titan havik is fighting for a dictatorship which is not what havik is about!!! but he is SOOOOOOO funny. he is hilarious. ww2 johnny sucked as a comedic relief and titan havik stepped in. he is sooo charismatic and sooo lovely just ignore how the story glosses over what happens to him in the end 

but the thing i truly loved the most was chaosrealm. oh my god i love chaosrealm so much. like move over deception chaosrealm we have mk1 chaosrealm and it is superior in soooo many ways. there is so much happening when you first see chaosrealm. giant rainbow slug i love you. guys beating up people on the street i love. preacher shokan i love you. THE TVS. THE INTERCOM IN THE MAZE. they should've given havik a mic and it would've been perfect. like i wish the game was free roam because it would so fun to explore that place. i want more places like this. i want to look at the details and keep finding more random useless details. i want to wonder what the fuck is going on in a fun way. 

however. none of that makes up for how painfully bad the story was. like how bi-han developed in no way as a character- the story was moved in no way. the story just boils down to noob saibot = popular character. cyrax and sektor = people have been begging to play as. and cool skins. everyone gasp in shock upon realizing this was just a way for wb and nrs to get money. 

but really like what do i say when nothing happened? the only character development i can argue for is kuai liang accepted cyrax into the shirai ryu. but is it such a small thing that it doesn’t matter. the lin kuei will still operate without her as they usually do. portions of it were fun. we got orin back. rain got a chapter. i don’t know what else to say. it’s just… not good. it’s that shrug emoticon
