◜I Need Attention◞
▸ includes: sub-zero [mk1 versions] ◂
Reminder: You CAN use my Mortal Kombat 1 footage for your fanworks! [Icons, fanart, whatever is legal.]
SUB-ZERO
I don't imagine him watching TV often, but when he does it's probably work related. I imagine him watching MMA tournaments and studying other martial arts matches/competitions that happen in parts of the world he can't get to. And I imagine when he's watching a live match, nothing can tear his focus off the combatants. But for a ready lady lover who needs attention, I imagine he would multitask like this -
[Spicy/Explicit after the cut 🔞]
Maybe it's late and you're already in bed together. You can't dictate the schedules of tournaments on the other side of the planet so who knows what time he wakes himself to turn on the TV. Maybe the groans and shouts of the competitors plays softly from the speakers, invading your subconscious before waking you. Or perhaps he has headphones, but reflexively hisses and groans out an "ooh" or "ouch" in sympathy for a wounded contestant. Maybe the audio that awakens you is a mixture of fighter groans and Bi-han's muttering, "should guard your left... your other left, idiot. Mmmm you got lucky."
Either way, imagine waking naked beneath a blanket to the vision of him sitting up in bed, the light of the TV casting a glow over his naked torso. Imagine you get to purr and touch him. Maybe you plant little kisses on his side and tell him you were dreaming about him. Maybe he glances at you and murmurs an apology for waking you from your dream as he pets your hair and draws you against him before he returns his focus to the match.
His hand probably feels good in your hair. He probably smells good and sounds good when he asks about your dream. You see him still focused on the match. You tell him he was licking you in your dream. He grunts absently. You nip him and he doesn't break his gaze from the TV.
But you need attention.
You're horny, you tell him. He tells you there are only a few fights left. Whatever, you're horny and you're horny right now. You tell him you want to masturbate if he's not going to play. You ask if that's okay. He thinks about it a second and says it's fine. Turn up the volume, you tell him.
You play with yourself. Tickling your clit feels better when he's next to you, even if he's not paying attention. He hears you whimper. He turns his head an inch towards you with his eyes locked on the screen. As soon as he can safely spare a glance your way, he looks down at your hand on your pussy for a fraction of a second. His own hand darts down, covers yours. He feels how you play with yourself, then pushes your hand out of the way and takes over. You hold his arm with your wet hand and bury your face in his side, panting. You work your hips and press your clit into his fingertips.
His little strokes are steady, and on the mark. It feels good. Over time it feels better and there can be sudden washes of sensitivity and pleasure in which you find yourself, not cumming, but worked up enough that you're shuddering and whimpering louder - but the second your voice breaks into anything louder than a whisper, the second you sob, his fingers hesitate on you and he peeks at your face. He slows down, goes lighter, selfishly saving you for himself for the end of the match.
The edging can blind you and you can beg him to do it harder or wait patiently for someone to win the fight, content in his arms, content with his steady strokes on your wet, swollen clit. You're too blissed out to know what's happening in the fight or how long you have to wait. You assume you have to wait longer and are surprised by the intensity of the sudden unexpected kiss.
He practically dives on top of you and starts to curl your legs up around him. Did the fights end, you wonder aloud. He tells you it was a quick KO and not to worry about the fight, he knows its over.
All of his attention is on you, as if all of his attention was on your soaking wet, slick pussy the entire time. As if he couldn't wait to cum inside. As if he couldn't wait to make you tell him all about your little wet dream of him while he slides his slick cock back and forth over your swollen clit to lubricate himself in your juices. As if he didn't just edge you so much that you can no longer respond to him in complete sentences without moaning incoherent pleas for him to rail you. You lift your pussy, press the lips against his balls, and let the pink winking folds speak on your behalf, begging him for a mercy that he cannot resist granting you.

Suggestion from the discords.
Johnny did do a brief stint in the MMA.
Although that didn't last long though, 4 wins and a loss before he got suspended by doing a split punch to his opponent's thigh. It was a knee jerk reaction, he didn't consciously do it.
I'm not sure if he will compete after the suspension is up or not. What you guys think?

Mortal Kombat (2021 alternate universe)












My alternate universe based on the 2021 Mortal Kombat movie and its upcoming sequel have quite a number of differences from the actual movies.
For one, there is no Arcana or Dragon markings.
Cole Young is a better developed character. He's still an MMA fighter down on his luck with a family he needs to provide for, but he still wins some fights. He gets an invitation to the Mortal Kombat tournament, and enters to provide for his wife and daughter. He soon discovers his connection with Scorpion, who is unwillingly Quan Chi's fighter.
Scorpion and Sub-Zero have their roles swapped. Bi Han still has corruption in his soul, but it's similar to Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero where he is struggling to overcome the darkness. Scorpion eventually kills him, and that's what leads to his transformation into Noob Saibot.
Kuai Liang enters the picture during the 2nd installment, and he wants revenge on Scorpion, but Cole is trying to redeem Hanzo Hasashi, and this ultimately has them butting heads. Eventually, they put their differences aside to save Earthrealm.
Liu Kang is the main character again, and he's much more rebellious (think Robin Shou in 1995). He enters the tournament wanting revenge for his family while Kung Lao wants to honor GKL. Liu Kang puts his vengeance aside, and ends up killing Goro to become champion. He beats Shang Tsung, but lets him go after learning that Chan is alive. This sets up Chan being in the 2nd installment as a brainwashed Outworld fighter (it's also based on Hornbuckle from MK2).
Much like my general fan works, I did think of having Sonya be the love interest of Liu Kang, especially due to their similar personalities and goals in this take. Things only get harder after Liu Kang becomes champion, and he still yearns for a normal life, especially with Sonya.
Jax still gets the metal arms, but now, he'll get them in the 2nd installment. For the first tournament, I did think of having him fight with his regular arms before he eventually gets them torn off by Goro (a la Scorpion's Revenge). He gets the metal arms via tech from the Special Forces.
Kano also has the metal eye, which he got after Jax punched his regular eye out like in MK Legacy. He is still a delightful scumbag, but he is not aligned with the Earthrealm heroes. I did think of Kabal being in the tournament alongside him, but he certainly does not trust Kano 100%.
Mileena dies in the first tournament, but Kitana steps in during MK2. At this point, she believes that Mileena was her sister and that Shao Kahn is her father, but Kitana eventually learns the truth and starts to rebel against the forces of Outworld. She also seeks to free Sindel, who has been revived by Shang Tsung and Quan Chi's dark magic. Jade is also unwillingly fighting for Outworld, but she helps Kitana discover the truth.
Johnny Cage is introduced during MK2 after he gets attacked by Baraka and his soldiers during a film shoot. None of the other Earthrealm warriors take him seriously due to his cocky personality, but he ends up becoming a worthy defender. Much like Cole with Allison and Emily, Cage provides for Cassie, who is a young girl at this point in the timeline.
Shao Kahn and Shang Tsung are the main threats at the moment as they want to merge Earthrealm with Outworld. Some of their fighters include mix of characters from the games and OCs made for this timeline (mostly to go with the fact that Cole was created for the movie).
That is all for now. More is definitely koming soon.

Random Mortal Kombat hcs (hcs post prt1)
These are just some of my mk hcs,random list. No one character or particular order or game/media. Just an in general post.
❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤
(Ironically this movie theme fits mk and mk was inspired by said movie. Good movie. Ppz check it out if you have not.)
🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉
Ok now onto the hcs
I feel cassie cage(my hc version which IS NOT RELATED TO SONYA BLADE AND IS JUST JOHNNY CAGES DAUGHTER FROM HIS PREVIOUS MARRIAGE WITH HIS ACTUAL EX) is definitely queer. Lesbian or sapphic of some sort. But she i also hc kinda followed her dad but instead of pursuing acting she did martial arts and mma fighting. Basically if jc didn't continue with acting and went FULL IN with his martial arts.
Speaking of which. I hc sonya blade is a straight up lesbian. Same with sheeva.
Kitana and mileena is bi. (Mileena i thought was canonly bi,so NO BI ERASURE IN THIS HOUSE!) but kitana is too focused on saving her home to worry about dating. Mileena however.....doesn't care she'll do both if she chooses.
Jade is technically in a relationship with kotal. Buuuuut it's rocky and jade is loyal despite her wanting to beat tf outta her racist husband.
Johnny cage has a good heart and sometimes is a goofball during kombat to "lighten" the situation. He jokes as a coping mechanism and to ease his anxiety. He can get serious if necessary. But nobody knows if he is serious or not. But thats why he's a great actor. The only thing that sets himself back is well....himself. and once he got over that. He was good. The only reason why Johnny cage would NEVER take the title of mk champion is because it means nothing to him. He's already a award winning actor,good or bad he loves doing movies. He's good at what he does best....entertainment. but he's genuinely a good martial artist and i hate when they make him stupid for plot or overly flirty. It feels weird even for him. Linden ashby from the 1995 mortal kombat movie did such a phenomenal job at balancing this! So Johnny cage fans....plz watch the og and see what i mean.
Liu kang loves spicy food. No this isn't a stereotype because fire. He genuinely loves spicy food. Kung lao does too but it doesn't agree with him so he can't handle it tho he will still try to anyways.
Kuai liangs comfort food is ice cream
Bi-han sleeps with a polar bear teddy. Even when he was noob saibot.
Skarlet has short menstrual periods....lucky binch.
Fujin can and will steal your dessert.
I hope y'all like these.

Igor Vovchanchyn Highlights
By: Lewis
It's always kind of funny when people bring up Fedor being an undersized heavyweight. He was, but he wasn't a small man. He was like 6'0, 220-ish lbs. Not big by heavyweight standards, but not tiny.
You know who was tiny? Igor Vovchanchyn. A former kickboxer turned no holds barred/MMA fighter in 1995, Igor stood at only 5'8. By modern standards, I'm pretty sure Vovchanchyn is a welterweight. Maybe even a 155lber. But back in the mid to late 90s up to the early 2000s, he was the scariest puncher in the sport. This tiny Ukrainian man was knocking out guys who were coming into fights at over 300lbs. Sometimes, as many as 3 in a single night (IFC 1: Kombat in Kyiv - John Dixson, Paul Varelans, and Fred Floyd). Absolutely terrifying human being.
If you'd like to learn a bit more about the guy, check out this article from The Fight Site.

Mortal Kombat 1 Re-Written by AkiraKemiya
Description: Hi this will be my first ever post on Tumblr! I’m still learning how this app works I’ve only used it to read other fanfics lol anyways Ive been told by many to start my own fan fiction because I made videos on my TikTok explaining how I would re-write MK1. So I finally did lol in this story expect to see characters that should’ve been added into the original game and some major changes to the story.
Please note that this will be Lin Kuei focused since my OC Nakita is part of the clan. Also if you’re a true mk fan well really a Bi Han lover like me I hope y’all catch the references I used as well. Be mindful im writing this like how MK1 chapters are for ex. Act 1 has 3 chapters in it so I MAY add some light smut with Bi Han and my OC. Enjoy!
Act 1
~~ A New Beginning~~
In the morning as the sun shines the snow around the training area you hear the voices of the Lin Kuei strongest warriors training together. The winter winds reveals every movement they make until a servant came she bowed and interrupted them by saying “ Master Tundra, Master Smoke, Lady Nakita and Master Hydro come to the council room our Grandmaster request all of you due to an important upcoming mission.
They acknowledged and bowed to her “tell my brother we’ll be on our way immediately” Kuai says as he turns back checking on them making sure everyone including himself gets ready and look presentable “how’s everyone? *he says as the four of them prepare to make their way to the council room* I see some of you are out of breath” “that someone being Tomăs and Shuî” Nakita teases them
“Hey! The only reason *panting* you’re not out of breath is because of your *panting* damn adrenaline rush no one can keep up with that!”
He says While struggling to breath Nakita laughs “No one said to challenge my adrenaline as you know I’m not only a MMA, weapons master and Pyromancer let me give you a friendly reminder I’m also a performer who love to dance! I need a lot of adrenaline to maintain those attributes especially for our grandmaster who expects us at our peak performance” she says as she brags to jokingly tease Hydro.
“Tomăs help me!” He pleads as smoke can’t help but to laugh at those two “to be fair Shuî 1 Kuai and I did warn you not to challenge her adrenaline and 2 you involved me in this” Kuai sighs and laughs a little shaking his head. “Alright enough you 3 I see all of you are ready let’s be on our way”
As Bi Han wait slightly impatiently for his 4 most trusted warriors who not only are skillful and competent but most importantly they’re the 4 people he cherishes. He closes his eyes and took a trip to memory lane recapping how they met and how they gotten so close as if their bond is unbreakable.
~ Memory Lane part 1~
As the eldest son and brother it was only natural for me to look over Kuai, the moment I found out I was having a little brother I was excited I wanted Kuai Liang to look up to me as if I’m the perfect brother in his eyes a brother who has no flaws.
Tomăs was born within the Clan he and my brother already developed a close friendship that turned into a brotherhood I'm ashamed to admit I was at one point envious of those 2 because I felt like Kuai looked at him more like a brother than me who IS his brother so I did treat Smoke unfairly.
I was scolded by Tundra and hydro for treating him so harshly but I changed the moment a tragedy struck him the day he unfortunately lost his identical twin sister and parents as they went on a family hunt(it was their tradition) they unknowingly stepped upon the Tengu clan territory and was surrounded….luckily for smoke he wasn’t there to witness such horrors ever since then I treated Tomăs as if he was my blood brother Since I too know what it’s like to lose family…
Me and Kuai lost our parents at a young age our mother who I cherished deeply passed and our father who I once respected but grew to despise for how he treated me harshly and his views was only holding the clan back from greatness so when a mission went wrong me and my brother tried to save him but he loss too much blood he was beyond saving…
to be honest i will admit I was sad on the outside but inside I was genuinely happy he was gone if only my brother knew and truly understood what our father was really like. Instead in his innocent head father is a great man *sighs I put my feelings to the side and comforted him.
~ Memory Lane pt 2 ~
For Shuî we’re childhood friends him and his family is from one of our sub clans the only reason I Heard about a family of hydromancers is from my little sister Frost. I asked how she knew and she said “i overheard a conversation that father was having” *the ability to control water as I do ice* I thought to myself. When I found out they have a son as well I figured it’ll be easier to get along as I did originally wanted to use him with his water and my ice we’d be deadly but overtime he became a loyal ally who’s like a brother to me I didn’t expect this to happen but it did.
Now finally the last addition to our group “Empress of the Azure flames”…Nakita I remember how we met it was at the fire temple lord Liu Kang wanted to have a conversation with our fathers and Hanzo father as we got there I noticed a woman who looked like she was 19 in the fire gardens who at the time had long black hair, with a braided ponytail with gold rings attached to them, blue eyes, fairly tan skin, wearing black traditional 54 Dragon style ninja attire, who’s beauty caught my eye but what Grew my curiosity was how she was fighting as if she was dancing with such grace and aggression but what really caught my attention was her suddenly using her blue fire and then pulling at a weapon it looks to be multi-functional I was truly impressed by her display of skills.
I remember meeting her a few times at a younger age even then and now. I admit I have feelings for her but buried them due to them being a weakness but seeing her then at that moment my cold heart slowly melted for her as time went by our fathers made an agreement in order for the Lin Kuei to grow stronger they need an alliance with the 54 Dragons and the Shirai Ryu.
they made a peace treaty sealed by the fire god and cause of that peace treaty Nakita was able to get permission from her grandfather who runs the 54 to join the Lin Kuei. Since Scorpion is also a pryomancer he’s Tundra rival I now not only have a new ally who grew to be loyal to me but also a worthy rival a true challenge for my cryomancing and potentially my lover not just for the sake of our clans especially when I know she hates political marriage but it’s because I did unintentionally develop strong feelings for her the more she’s been around.
it also didn’t help she understood me personally and my goals for the Lin Kuei as much as she irritates my soul with her sharp tongue and quick wits I do love her backbone being able to stand up to me when needed I will never admit it to her though.
~~ End of Memory Lane ~~
Bi Han takes a deep breath as he opens his eyes he hears them about to walk in he almost scolded them for being late but then he realized they’re actually on time taking a trip through memory lane really made him feel like he was waiting for 30 mins.
he quickly gathered himself to look presentable and prepared to report to them about this important mission he was notified by Lord Liu Kang. Tundra, Nakita, Smoke and Hydro walked in lined up right next to each other and said their greetings by bowing to him “ as expected you all made it in time take your seats and listen carefully”
*Tundra and smoke sat on the left side of Bi Han across from Nakita and Hydro* he says in a calm yet serious tone “as you all should know about the upcoming tournament starting next week we’re going to begin preparations for it by going with Liu Kang to test these potential “chosen” warriors of Earthrealm”.
smoke asks out of curiosity “ how come we’re never allowed to participate in the tournament? also will Frost and Hanzo be joining Us?” “You know Tomăs I just thought about it why aren’t we allowed to join in? We’re spent years training for external threats, we have the knowledge and experience so it’s only right we should join!” Hydro says slightly annoyed and frustrated.
Tundra answered one of Tomăs questions “as much as I would love for frost to take part of this mission Bi Han and I feels she isn’t ready for such an important task like this. The last thing we need is for her temper and ego to get the best of her. as for Hanzo yes he will take part of this.”
Bi Han answered both Tomăs and Shuî question by stating “that’s simply because we’d easily win..outworld wouldn’t stand a chance against us” *he says with pride*
Nakita rolls her eyes as she chuckled “to properly answer both of your questions since the 54 Dragons originated in outworld they feel it would be cheating for us to participate or have any involvement and in case you ask what led to them being in this realm just know a heated argument between Empress Sindel and my Grandmother who may I remind you is around the same age as her.
Anyways she ordered her army to “remove” the clan from existence. My Grandfather stood his ground and was preparing for war but my grandmother convinced him to evacuate everyone and everything the only other realm they felt safe and comfortable to start over was in Earthrealm and in order for them to stay and not cause a war between the realms. For them to not use the 54 moving here as an excuse to start a war they agreed to never let the clan participate in a tournament and they pledge their loyalty to earthrealm carrying the same sworn duty as the Lin Kuei and shirai Ryu protect and serve our realm.”
“And you technically answered your own question silly by us knowing and trained specifically to fight against any realms who are a threat ESPECIALLY Outworld so in their eyes it would definitely be considered “cheating” to them. That’s why we have to test these new warriors Liu Kang found to see if they’re capable” . Nakita finishes off by saying “and lastly I hope you two know frost will NOT be happy finding out she’s not included in this mission at all I even heard you scolded her when she confronted you Bi Han the moment she was notify about it”.
“why does it concern you Nakita? Do you see fault in my judgement? Because you speak as if you feel she should take part of this”
*Bi Han spoke as if she dares to question his judgment while standing up from his seat looking directly into her eyes awaiting her answer *
*Nakita gets up from her seat walks to stand right next to him gently touching his arm giving him a soft look in her eyes*
“calm down Bi Han I agree with your judgement I’m only concerned with how she’ll be. The last thing we need is for her to jeopardize this….*deep sigh* look as much as we know she respects you out of all of us but knowing her she feels she’s more skillful and better than all of us I fear she’ll eventually let her emotions cloud her judgment at the wrong time causing her to make irrational decisions that’ll jeopardize us and the clan severely I do suggest keeping an eye on her” *Bi Han calms down caving in to her soft look*
“ I understand your concern Nakita me and Kuai will make sure to keep an eye on her if she ever gets to that point as her grandmaster I will make sure she face punishment there’s only so much we as her brothers can take and dismiss” *he says in a reassuring tone* “ you all except for Nakita is dismissed remember to start preparing for next Week” the 3 of them say “yes grandmaster” in unison and bowed before they left.
Nakita was very curious as to why he wanted her to stay until he came up to her gripping her waist and pulled her closing to him she giggles as she wrapped her arms around his neck and said “ look at you being impatient my love you just couldn’t help yourself” .
he smirks saying “is it wrong to admire my wife up close and personal your warmth brings me comfort” *she blushes after hearing that she couldn’t help but to bring his face closer to kiss his forehead* “I would hope to see you in our room tonight This time I know preparing for the tournament has been keeping you busy but I grow tired of waiting”
*she says as she expresses her impatience* Bi Han hasn’t realized he’s been neglecting his husband duties for awhile so he makes a promise “I’ll make sure I’m coming straight to bed as soon as I’m done to…make up for all the days I’ve missed” *he says with confidence* “I look forward to it” *she says seductively slowly letting him go and walked away*
~~~End of A new beginning pt 1~~~

Several genres have gone extinct in the AAA space. Point and click adventure games, plastic instrument rythme games, and others are on life support like RTSes. What other genres do you think are next of being unprofitable at AAA production values?
I think it's likely to be regularly released titles that are in danger of slipping under the radar already, especially franchises that are losing steam. For example, I think fighting games that aren't Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat have little chance of AAA success nowadays. I think annual sports titles that aren't FIFA, Madden, or NBA 2K are slipping down there (e.g. UFC/MMA, PGA golf, WWE wrestling, skateboarding, etc.). You are correct about RTS games falling off - genre-adjacent games like MOBAs and Tower Defense games have fallen off alongside them. I think that shoot-em-ups, brawlers, and platformers fell down there a long time ago. I think simulation games like flight simulators are on their way into the sunset. I think short-form narrative games (e.g. Uncharted) have also become unsustainable outside of special circumstances like being platform exclusives.
Basically, AAA budgets can't exist if enough people aren't actively interested in the type of game and willing to keep playing it for a long time. It's quite normal for genres to mature and a handful of established industry leaders to carve out a sustainable audience and everybody else to lose ground until they basically fall out completely.
