#mk11 kotal kahn

[iliketangerines]

Kotal Kahn with a reader who’s just a simple marketer in the outworld markets- like maybe she sells fruits or clothes-

the simple peasant

a/n: i hate kotal kahn, but yes, i do need him

pairing: kotal kahn x gn!reader

warnings: none :)

he walks through the markets, browsing the wares, but he’s searching for something

for you

he remembers how Jade had visited him in the flesh pits, talking about you, how you were kind and gentle and soft and always so kind to others

she was so smitten with you, and she had wished that he could meet you and come out of the flesh pits to talk to you and fall in love as she did

almost every day she had gone to see you, and then she died in Sindel’s attack and Kotal was freed to work alongside Mileena

and now, finally free from paperwork and training and practice, he strolls through the markets and looks for you

Jade always described you so fondly, saying that you were unmistakable, rough hands from washing and picking fruit every day

and yet they were so gentle with them, like they were precious rubies and gems, and that you always handled them with care

your voice firm but gentle as you haggled prices with Jade every day and the other customers, but you always gave the local kids a free piece of fruit

Kotal looks for you in markets and pauses when he hears someone yelling and screaming about something

drawing his weapon, Kotal finds someone hitting a customer with a hat, kicking them in the shins as they buckle over in pain

the warrior rushes over and pulls someone off the person, and they struggle in his arms as they kick and scream at the person

he tells them to calm down before he makes them, and finally, they calm down before saying that the person laying on the floor had tried to steal your wares and then threaten a kid to try and get something for free

Kotal looks at the person laying on the floor, and then back at the person in their arms and sets them down, picking up the beaten robber by the scruff

they sniffle and ask to be taken away, they don’t want to deal with the crazy marketplace seller

Kotal sighs and sets them down and holds onto their shoulder, and he asks for the seller’s name

they repeat your name, and something clicks in his brain as he watches you brush dust off yourself and grumble and scowl

patting him on the arm roughly, you say your thanks and go back to your stand, checking on the produce and making sure that everything was okay

he walks over to you, towering over your figure, and you turn to him and ask if he wants to buy something and if not, that he should scram

Kotal purses his lips and wonders how Jade could ever like you, but he asks if you know of a Jade and that she had gone to your stand often

almost immediately, your eyes brighten up, and you ask if he knows her and that you hadn’t seen her in forever

the warrior sighs, clenching his fist, before he tells in you in a low voice that she had passed away fighting a great evil

your shoulders stiffen, and your smile drops as you let out a quiet oh

there is only silence as Kotal bows and takes his leave, and he takes a glance back at you to see you wiping at your eyes with the back of your hand

he takes the robber to the prisons, and he spends the rest of the day thinking about you

you were not gentle or soft, more like rough and prickly all over with too much anger for that one body, and yet, he wanted to go back

unfortunately for him, you were the last memory he had of Jade, and he was desperate to cling onto it for as long as he could

the next day, he finds you, purse heavy with coin, and he finds you haggling prices with a customer and counting the money before handing them the fruit

he walks up to the front, looking at the fruits, picking one up in his hands and peering at it for any blemishes

you recognize him, head tilting to the side and shoulders tensing up, but you treat him just as any customer and tell him the prices and give your sale

he buys some and then waits for you to finish with the others, waiting for a lull in time to talk to you about Jade

finally, the dust settles, and it’s only you standing with your cart and he walks over to you with the freshly peeled fruit and hands one over to you

smiling at him, you push it away and say that it’s his, that he bought it, and you go back to washing the fruit in the barrel behind you for selling

he stands there awkwardly, unsure of what to do or say, and so he sits next to you and washes as you wash the fruit

you’re careful, inspecting them all with a knowing eye, and you throw out the ones that even have the slightest blemishes

Kotal just watches, but you don’t even seem to mind as he watches, as though you are familiar with someone watching as you washed the fruit

and then, suddenly you speak up and say to Kotal that you know he wants to talk about Jade and that it isn’t healthy to hold onto her like that

he furrows his brows in surprise and then he says what, unsure of what you mean

you say that it seems Jade has been gone for quite a while and you had accepted that she was gone a long time ago, only holding on to a thread of hope that she was alive

but you have made your peace, and he should too, make some new memories, never forget Jade but keep her in your heart and move on

Kotal tenses in his seat, but he knows there are truth to your words and they sit heavy in his gut and stab at him

you sigh and stop your washing for a second, wiping your hands dry on your robe and take one of his large hands into his own

it’s a comical sight, his hand engulfing yours as you comfort him

but it doesn’t deter you as you sit right next to him and tell him that you’re here for him, losing someone you love is always hard but the heart will heal if you let it

Kotal listens and sits and finally grieves, you by his side

My mind

[ibest14]

Many people ask me what my opinion is on Mortal Kombat 11? After 5 or 6 years of the game's release, the truth is that I have some things to say.

I have a love and hate relationship with this game, because it made a lot of mistakes and it showed some nonsense and unnecessary things

1 - Retcon Sindel doesn't make any fucking sense, since in (Mortal Kombat 9) it was explained and shown that Sindel committed suicide and put a protection field on earth so Shao Kahn can't invade. But then in Mortal Kombat 11 they show us that the milf has practically always been evil which doesn't make any fucking sense. If Sindel really was evil why the hell then does she commit suicide and put a protective field on earth? it doesn't make any fucking logical, plus in Mortal Kombat 9 at the end of her Tower. They say that she restores her kingdom (edenia) and that she was just being controlled and manipulated by Quan Chi's dark magic and there is no timeline bullshit here because the Sindel from Mortal Kombat 11 is the same as the one from Mortal Kombat 9 and Mortal Kombat X. So she supposedly committed suicide and by committing suicide she put up a force field to protect the earth from Shao Kahn. if she was evil what the hell would she do that for? She would just stay with Shao kahn suck his dick every fucking day for over 10,000 years. fuck!!!!

2 - Kotal x Jade: Practically the most stupid and senseless love relationship ever seen in videogames, where the fuck did this come from? for God's sake!!! this is bullshit!! fucking bullshit!!! the Osh-Tekk were never mentioned in the previous games, moreover! they are creations of Mortal Kombat X, besides it was never mentioned that Jade had a relationship with someone in the past. So putting a character created by NRS and putting him together with a classic character is bullshit. Also for God's sake!!! he's a fucking genocidal!!! he wanted to kill all tarkatans simply for helping Mileena. Kotal is just a false god and a frustrated despotic who is too proud and arrogant to admit that he's not much different than Shao kahn. If Jade had to have a love relationship with someone it would make much more sense for it to be Kung Lao, some will say it could also be with Smoke but the truth is I'm not a fan of that ship, but it also makes more sense than Kotal X Jade. The only relationship that could have made sense with Kotal and Jade is a teacher - student relationship, something like: Bo Ra Cho - Kung Lao - Liu Kang. They could have done something about Kotal being her mentor or something and that would have made a lot of sense. But no! It ruins it with a love relationship between an Osh-Tekk and an Edenian girl needlessly pulled out of the depths of ass.

3 - Kung Lao: I would like to know if any NRS writer hates this character to death? Or if when he was a child his older brother humiliated his favorite character with Kung Lao in some of the Midway era games? I have never seen such disrespect, hatred and mistreatment towards an MK character in NRS as that shown to Kung Lao, the character went from being a great hero in his time to a fucking jobber like Krillin from DBZ, but with the only difference that Krillin was given a good life, an honorable job, a wife and a daughter. But what does Kung Lao get? Well… only humiliation, mistreatment, broken necks and unnecessary hatred from the rest of the characters on the roster, accusing him of being arrogant and just being a minor and unimportant shaolin as if they were better than him. And then Kung Lao is the Arrogant one according to them, anyway! Hypocrisy.

but that's not all, NRS ruined his entire characterization and story. in the Midway era: Kung Lao, was a humble pacifist, but with a healthy pride (A / N: since he was the descendant of a fucking champion of more than 500 years) who was not interested in the whole Chosen One thing and all that shit, the monks wanted him as champion and he simply gave them the middle finger and said: go fuck yourself, I'm not interested in that, I just want to make my own life, live in peace and be happy. what's more, he didn't even live with the monks, the guy was like a kind of Sasuke from Shippuden before fighting Itachi, a quiet guy but with immense potential. Lao was only dragged into Mortal Kombat by the events of MK2 and after the death of Liu Kang in MKDA. But NRS ruined that and turned him into the loyal partner against crime who doesn't fuck, has never had a girlfriend, who only serves to make the protagonist look cool and who is only jealous because he is not the chosen one. Besides, they make him arrogant, going against what he was in Midway. My God!! This man defeated the fucking Deadly Alliance + Kitaro and Motaro alone, without anyone's help.

If it weren't for Shao Kahn breaking his neck, in a cowardly attack from behind, which was too low even for him being an emperor. Kung Lao would have won.

Lao showed his worth and skill. Kung Lao is on par with Liu Kang and even with a little more concentration, training and not being too confident (A/n: like Gohan SSJ2 against a desperate Cell) he could even be superior. But since that would eclipse their overrated Chinese boy scout, they prefer the idea of ​​the jobber. Now his arrogance may be excessive in NRS but it's not that big of a deal, but the writers like to make the character hated and you can even see that in the dialogues, they practically treat him as if he were Frost herself they had in front of them and not an ally.

Sonya mocks him by calling him just a partner and useless, as if she wasn't also Jax's partner against crime at one time, because the last time I checked, Jackson Briggs was his leader and she was just his partner. In short, Hypocrisy.

Hanzo (Scorpion) reprimands him for being arrogant and I wonder who was the one who, out of pure arrogance and letting himself be carried away by anger, killed Quan Chi even when they told him not to and practically condemned the Revenants to never be saved again? In short, Hypocrisy.

And those are just examples, but I'm not going to detail dialogue by dialogue.

But one of the worst is that his supposed best friend doesn't defend him. In fact, when he resets the era at the end of the game and meets the Great Kung Lao, Liu Kang tells him that: you are very humble, not like the Kung Lao I knew.

It was unnecessary to say that, since this Kung Lao doesn't know who the Other Kung Lao is.

That he supposedly wasn't your best friend? Now that he's gone, you practically let out everything you think and instead of keeping the memory of the good, loyal friend you had despite all the humiliation he received, you simply start bringing up his flaws behind his back? It seems that he wasn't your friend after all.

That and the writers couldn't keep their hatred towards Kung Lao in their pockets even at the end of the game's DLC.

Kung lao was always my favorite character and that of many, I even like him more than Liu Kang and in the end I hate what NRS are doing with him and in MK1 they don't even give him a break since he doesn't become a champion and in almost all the endings of the guest characters like Homelander and Omni-Man they kill him first. If NRS is going to keep humiliating him, it's better to kill him and give him an epic ending or demote him to be a character with the same importance in the story as Li Mei. Kobra, Mavado, Kira, Bo Ra Cho or even Reiko that you almost never see in the games.

I drew a full body but it looked weird so have an underpainted portrait of Kotal

[2802mi]

WHAT WE COULD HAVE IN MK11 HAD THEY NOT GONE WITH KRONIKA STUFF (ACCORDING TO ENDINGS IN MKX)

-Dark Raiden

-actual MK tournament

-new rivalry between Scorpion and Sub-Zero as the former sides with Raiden and the latter does not believe in him

-Kung Jin and Kung Lao having actual interactions and the former saving the latter

-Liu Kang and Kitana being actual rulers of the Netherrealm and remaining in that role, making us wish for their return even more

-Ferra/Torr as a kombatant and maybe a sub-boss in the game (at least how I would like it to be)

-Triborg as Sub-Zero's nemesis

-Takeda and Kung Jin's existence, discarding them entirely in MK11 was in a very bad taste

-characters' moral conflict whether to take part in agression towards Outworld remembering all the victims before

-characters like Reptile, Erron Black and Ferra/Torr having a spotlight as something more than just useless jobbers

-Shang Tsung's return via Ermac's death

-Kotal Kahn as an actual leader instead of getting tossed around by Jacqui and later everyone in actual MK11

-revenants without their masters can actually decide their destiny this time instead of being jobbers for Kronika

-and, if they really wanted to end this timeline and make a reboot, they could just make Shinnok return as a serious villain this time and awaken The One Being and have a scene where he devours pretty much everything

Hcs for CG Kotal Kahn MK11 with a baby regressor 🥺

Yes of course!!! :D

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

CG Kotal Kahn Hcs

👑 Oh my goodness, loves baby regressors, but is also so scared to accidently hurt you!!! :(

👑 Your so precious and soft, warrior or not, now your his little baby

👑 Kotal's a big guy, and he's a little afraid of accidentally grabbing you slightly too hard or set you down wrong

👑 You gotta make sure to tell him that he's going to be okay hugging and carrying you because he's obviously being gentle and he's never hurt you in the past (he's just being cautious)

👑 But honestly, this man is a cuddle bug, he adores cuddling with you and squeezing you and oh my goodness you're just so adorable!!

👑 Adores tummy time but more specifically, when you lay on top of him

👑 Finds it entertaining if you try to eat his nose because of how small you are

👑 He finds a lot of things you do funny

👑 Holding into his finger tightly before he dared moved your bottle slightly out of your mouth? He didn't know you had such a powerful grip!!

👑 Getting fussy and the only thing that will calm you down is either your paci, or chewing on his hand (he's okay with it), how interesting

👑 If you go nonverbal or mostly just babble, his supporting of it!! And encourages it!!

👑 But uh . . . He wasn't the best with it at first.

👑 Got a bit confused with babbling, especially when you first do it

👑 Like, it's adorable, little one . . . But what are you saying??

👑 Don't worry, he gets better over time, and adores it when you just babble to him like it's a normal conversation

👑 Panics the first time you babbled because you wanted or needed something and ran around the room confused

👑 Treats you like royalty!!! You are his little prince/princess/Little royalty after all

👑 You saw something you wanted at the market? Already buying it, it doesn't really matter the price. Yummy food that looks delicious? It’ll already be in your hands

👑 Who's going to question a Kahn after all? Especially if it's during MKX, he gets a little less stricter around MK11

👑 Since your so young, you get away with a lot of things because your so small

👑 (^ Also you couldn't have MEANT do it, so there's no real need to take action)

👑 If your a bit older though, he'd probably give you a time out and no amount of fussing will change his mind (justice must be served and what not)

👑 Although if you begin crying . . . he'll most likely drop it

👑 I'm not sure exactly how his powers work, but I know he can do stuff with light?? Like, sun powers?

👑 He'll be your night light, don't you worry (or atleast keep a small beam until you fast asleep)

👑 If your a very sleepy little, that works out perfectly for both you and him

👑 You get to cuddle up to him and he gets to carry you around everywhere? Sign him up!! :D

👑 No one, and I mean no one, will ever judge you for regressing out in public (someone did once and they were ‘let go’ of their position)

👑 More MK11 Aftermath, but even if he isn't Kahn anymore, he still treats you like royalty

👑 I like to imagine him and Jade (or atleast him) were put back into General command so he still has some power

👑 Kitana adores you and not only do you have the General on your side, but the entire royal house

👑 No ones making fun of you, and you get spoiled >:3

👑 Kotal's favorite CG nicknames are Ko-Ko, Papa, Dada, and Ko-Ta

👑 So many nicknames for you!!! Mostly royalty related, but also likes calling you Pumpkin, Sweetheart, Baby Girl/Boy, Little One

👑 Favorite activity is to just cradle you in his arm

👑 Your just so . . . tiny, and small in his arms

👑 (^ is also really helps you feel small)

👑 He'll happily bottle feed you, or walk around the room and bounce you until you fall asleep

👑 Likes to help you with little activities!!

👑 You'll sit on his lap and try to figure out what blocks go into what

👑 Will praise you and give you candy when you've done it all correctly!! :D

👑 (^ Although if you just hand him the block . . . he'll do it for you, and still give you candy)

👑 Unfortunately, no thumb sucking allowed >:(

👑 Instead he gets you a paci or a teether

👑 But like, a really fancy decorated paci

👑 And one of the best tethers you can find

👑 Only the best for his baby, after all!!

👑 However, if your out in public or don't have access to your stuff, he'll allow it for now

👑 Will buy you 100 and 1 stuffies, and still buy you more if you request

👑 HE is slowly losing bedspace

👑 Why? Because the stuffies need a spot to sleep!! And his bed’s so big already!! 🥺

👑 Will play peek-a-boo with your stuffies just to make you giggle, it's music to his ears :]

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I really hope I got them somewhat right. I dont know a lot about Kotal, I just think he's super cool. :3

[sketchy-doge1]

Decided to redraw my au cuz why not

It's Oct's turn‼️

[bi-force-1]

Obsessed with the idea Kotal thinks he can make Erron a 'better' person because of the prefight where he asks Erron what it will take to make him whole.

Like... "If I keep him around and show him what a big strong good honorable warrior I am, it'll inspire him to better himself!"
