Lord Kzinssie is so mysterious...

[[ This short story idea was living rent free in my head since I considered picking Bokhohn on the side/or here :D;; ]] [[ Might be a fun read @soulxsteal ! ]]

---

There were many mysteries surrounding Rabbit's favorite hero and she had oh, so many questions. Unfortunately she was way too shy to ask him directly but fortunately for her there was another hero in the Vangaurd who she deemed perfect for that.

"Good...evening, Lord Bokhohn!" Rabbit greeted, holding a big bottle of wine in front of her face and strategically hiding a very apologetic smile. By now she knew this one hero in particular would rather have his drink and didn't want to bother with anyone, ever.

Bokhohn didn't even look up from his book. He didn't need to. The library in the Vanguard was peaceful and he was seldom bothered. Usually simply not replying to anyone was enough. There were occasional 'heroes' who would come to ask him to join on their silly adventures or missions - both things he didn't care about. This world he was pulled into was unnatural and he didn't plan to get involved in it. Instead he wanted to obtain as much useful information as he could, rejoin Wagnas and the rest and hopefully find his way to the ancients.

"I'm weak, leave me alone." Bokhohn turned a page and hoped this reply would be enough to protect his peace and quiet. It was not.

"I ah, I came to ask you about... Lord Kzinssie." Rabbit continued then carefully nudged the wine bottle on the table in hopes her offering would be enough to please the ever grumpy strategist.

'Lord... Kzinssie!?' Bokhohn's eyes paused and no amount of information in this book would pin his attention now. He finally looked up - first at Rabbit. 'Oh, great... one of The Emperor's goons.' he squint his eyes. 'But not the blonde...Ugh, never mind they all look the same anyway.' Then his eyes moved to the wine bottle. Obviously a bribery, and a bribery he was willing to take.

"He made it here too then? Very well..." Bokhohn closed his book and reached a clawed hand towards the bottle while his eyes remained pinned on Rabbit like a hawk who just locked on a prey. Suddenly the girl felt very uneasy. At the back of her head she reminded herself - she could outrun him. Running away was always the first option! "What do you want to know about ...Lord Kzinssie?"

"W-well... ah... anything really!" Rabbit rubbed her hands. A nervous jitters that was immediately caught by the strategist. She hurried to sit, shuffle her hands on her lap and out of sight, as if that would make her harder to read.

Bokhohn poured a glass, took the scent form the wine and began with a very indifferent tone. "Lord Kzinssie turns into a worm on full moon nights." The wine was good and now after a good sip, the strategist was very willing to humor the girl. Surely she won't buy all the'd say...

"Really? Like... a teeny-tiny worm?" Rabbit's eyes widened. When was the next full moon? Would he be alright? Maybe she had to find a little match box to make into a tiny bed for him so he will stay safe.

Bokhohn's face turned long...........She actually believed that? Young ones were stupid, impulsive and unreasonable. And when crushing all this was amplified. This one would not survive the winter... Not that this was his problem. Bokhohn sipped and continued. "His sword is made from his spine. That's why he lacks any."

"F-from his spine!?" Rabbit gasped! No wonder he was in a hurry to find it. "Lord Kzinssie's muscles must be so strong to keeping him going." She mused aloud. Bokhohn sipped again thinking how to top that - which absurdity would make this girl realize he is fooling her around.

"He went to the sea with Subier once, got lost and had to eat jellyfish for days because that was all he could catch."

"Aren't...they poisonous?" She knew this much and now Bokhohn was ready to flash a grin - yes, she finally is starting to question the absurdity of his statements, "Lord Kzinssie must be really strong to eat so much jellyfish and survive...!"

Bokhohn's grin very quickly turned into a disgruntled expression followed by a muffed groan. This girl can't possibly be this stupid! Suddenly the wine that was meant to bribe him was helping him preserve his own brain cells.

"One time Dantarg stepped on him and he was stuck under his foot for a week."

"Huh..." Rabbit pondered on this one. She knew Dantarg was huge even if she has never seen him before but hearing this gave her an idea just how big this hero in particular could be "Lord Kzinssie must be... really soft and squishy if Lord Dantarg didn't notice him for a whole week."

Rabbit's eyes darted up taken by the idea. Just how soft must Lord Kzinssie be? Would he mind if she squishes his cheeks? They did look very squishable! No, no...that'd be way too bold and rude! Bokhohn was rubbing his face across the table. Was this girl playing him now or she really was that naive?

"Ah, thank you, Lord Bokhohn... I think I learned a lot about Lord Kzinssie from you!" The brunette perked up and lift herself form the chair, "I hope you'll enjoy the wine!"

"Right. And you... enjoy your Lord Kzinssie." He waved a hand dismissively hoping she will remove herself from the room before he resolved to removing her with her own hands. At least the wine was good and it would wash the memory of this dumb human from his head.

"Lord Kzinssie is so mysterious...." Rabbit muttered as she began to exit the library.

yuuta does not have to spend any time getting ready in the mornings.

brush teeth, brush hair, style hair if it's really messy: that's all for him. he also gets up far before you, chucking when you whine as he slips out of bed for maybe twenty minutes.

he sits on the edge of your shared bed as you frantically speed around your room trying to rush your process. he’s smiling and blushing the most beautiful pink you’ve ever seen while you're grumbling about how he should've woken you up. truthfully, he should've, but then you'd just be mad that he didn't let you sleep in. lose-lose, he thinks.

he follows you when you disappear into the bathroom.

he watches how you purse your lips together and knit your brows as you apply your lip combo, how you flick your wrist to put on eyeliner with practiced ease, how you speed through the makeup process as you don't have extra time (hint hint: you do). he thinks you're beautiful without makeup, an absolute marvel of a woman who he’s racing to get down on one knee for, but he also thinks you're so talented—makeup’s an art form after all, and you are the painting and the painter.

he places a sweet hand on your shoulder when you wince while brushing your hair, a particularly annoying sleep-induced tangle tugging on your scalp.

he follows you like a lost dog when you speed walk back into the bedroom. he grins when you pause while grabbing your phone for the first time that morning.

6:00, the time read. you didn't have anywhere to be until 8:30. yuuta had told you you were about to be late when he shook you awake. he bites down a giggle when you stick the mental puzzle pieces together.

you snap around with amusement and exasperation written all over your face. you push gently on yuuta’s chest, it's mot meant to hurt him (not like you could anyway), just to get his attention. “okkotsu!”

shit, the last name? he’s done it now.

“what?” he smiles with an almost too convincing faux innocence.

truth is, yuuta had been gushing to inumaki about you a little too much yesterday. he was complaining on and on, all while inumaki nodded lazily, about how he never gets the chance to see you in the mornings, how you never get up on time, how when you are awake you're getting ready and then you have to go. he wasn't mad at you—he never is and never will be—just a little sad he didn't get an extended glimpse of you before heading to school. his friend scribbled down on a notepad, “just wake her up earlier dude.”

“she doesn't like to be woken up too early,” he pouted, “and, if i did, she’d just spend the whole time getting ready.” he felt at a loss, defeated, and inumaki pondered for a moment.

“tell her that it's a different time than it is when you wake he up. make her think she’s about to be late,” he wrote, holding up the notebook for yuuta.

why didn't he think of that?

“you know what!” you laugh a little.

he laughs right along side you, the sweet sweet sound filling your ears and making your heart swell even with the annoyance inside you. “i just wanted to see you more in the morning,” he admits, grabbing one of your hands and holding it between both of his.

you can't stay mad at him. even when you want to say something about how that's mean, how he should've just gotten you up normally, but yuuta’s just too cute.

you follow him back into bed with a small, begrudging smile. he envelops you in his arms. so warm, like yourown personal heater. you nuzzle against him, careful to not ruin your sloppy makeup job. he rubs your back with his big hands, almost falling back asleep as he holds you.

you could get used to this if you didn't have to wake up early.

The Full Moon Revelry wasn't as rowdy as promised, but it was still illuminating.

Beginning / Previous / Next

You can read more about Naomi and Micah's grandmother's sacrifice (and their mother's quest to revive her) here!

Naomi: It's not too late to turn around. I can already tell this thing will be full of freaks and weirdos.

Micah: No one forced you to join me, you know.

Olive: Spellcaster! Welcome!

Micah: Magic may run in the family, but I've never really called myself a-

Olive: Let us bask in each other's presence.

Micah: Oof. Um. Okay.

Naomi: Awfully touchy-feely for a stranger.

Olive: Your grandmother always spoke so highly of you both.

Naomi: [snorts] Yeah, right.

Micah: Wait, you know Grandma?

Olive: The dead and the living of Ravenwood owe her a great deal. If the Magic Realm had fallen all those years ago, the Netherworld would have shortly followed.

Naomi: Right. She sacrificed herself for the good of all Simkind, blah, blah, blah. You know what else runs in our family? Tall tales. Now, who the fuck is this ugly hunk of granite?

Olive: Why, naturally, that’s the Ancestor!

-

Ekade: Oh, yeah, I’ve got one of those cards. It’s yours for a small favor. Attend Afterlife Anonymous and report back to me. I’m doing a PhD on what makes ghosts choose to stay or leave. My working hypothesis: love.

-

Naomi: Can we go yet? This crowd is fucking lame.

Micah: We have to stay for the swim, at least.

Naomi: Oh, right, the exhibitionist parade. Yippee.

-

Naomi: Hellooooo! I thought we were all getting naked.

God, it’s freezing in there. Someone could have died!

Olive: Indeed. It’s rather a shame no one did.

Naomi: Lady, what’s wrong with you?

-

Micah: [softly] Another one of Alice's.

-

Micah: Naomi, wait! There's something buried here!

Oooh this might be a controversial take (for the bireena community maybe) but I feel like I need to get it off my chest

I don’t ship sekhan, I feel like that is completely obvious, but-

I didn’t want bireena in khaos reigns either (even before it came out and sekhan became canon)

At most, I wanted them to meet, try to kill each other maybe, have no choice but to team up, and then leave off on a cliffhanger on what the future could hold. LIKE that was it. No romance yet, maybe not even an official friendship, just obscurity to set up their future.

I feel like we’re still at a point where Bi-Han needs to make a lot of personal growth first. The last thing I want him doing is putting his nasty unredeemed hands anywhere near my precious SAREEEENNNAAAA!! If they were to interact at any point in future games or kombat packs, I want the focus to be on redeeming the two (mostly bi-han) cause at the end of the day, I am a Bi-Han fan first, bireena fan second. I will even take it if they just end up as friends if that means he can finally redeem himself and not go down the constant path of evil and being someone’s side-kick.

From my time on twitter I’ve noticed the constant need of some bireena fans to attack sekhan and complain that we didn’t get bireena, which is fair they’re allowed to do that, but I think that’s genuinely the wrong way to look at this whole situation. I mean, if you wanna think in context to how Bi-han acts/ presents himself in this timeline, I actually think he and sektor make perfect sense. He doesn’t like people disagreeing with him and sektor is basically the embodiment of an enabler/ loyalist. OF COURSE, he’d be down for that (which is not to say I like sektor’s writing either, I wanted her to betray Bi-Han and push her own image onto the Lin Kuei). But I think the point of putting him with her (though I don’t want to give NRS any writing credit yet) is to show how messed up his mind is and how he goes for the wrong methods to get what he wants (like liu kang said).

I know we shouldn’t exactly take the Johnny cage announcer voice as canon but I feel like everyone is missing the “future” part in “bi-Han’s future bestie”. They still haven’t even officially met if you don’t count him kicking nitara’s ass at the Ying fortress. If they had gotten together in khaos reigns it would’ve been just as bad and poorly written as sekhan. If you wanna attack sekhan and call it forced because her entire story revolves around a man then you need to also keep in mind that if Sareena had been written as a romantic interest to Bi-Han in khaos reigns it would be the exact same thing. Sareena still has her own soul to redeem and her own past to confront. The last thing she needs is to be with a man that has all the mental maturity of a group of middle schoolers who frequent Hot Topic.

(This portion is my own headcanoning and how I want them to meet, I’ll mark where it ends)

As stated before, I think the main priority should be Bi-Han and Sareena focusing on their redemption arcs if they are to interact with each other in the future. Bi-Han needs to see the error in his ways of thinking and let go of his pride. Sareena needs to see she’s more than just an underling to Quan Chi and break free from his control. If anything, I think the best way to approach this is to maybe bring up MK Mythologies again and have them meet through that. Maybe Bi-Han gets betrayed and gets stuck in the netherrealm and has no choice but to spare a life (Sareena’s) and relies on her to help him get out. That way it would teach him the value of mercy that he didn’t understand in Khaos Reigns. And from there I think in terms of Sareena’s story she sees someone with a tainted soul and feels some empathy about that. Helping him to redeem himself- to her- would be like a way of helping her understand that no soul is too far gone and she herself can be redeemed and help others.

As far as how he would act after being “redeemed” I can’t exactly tell you how I think he would act, especially since he’s not really the apologetic type. But maybe an interesting route he can take is Kuai Liang’s old role in the previous timelines. He’s seen how fa pride can take you and how destructive it is. That way he’s the perfect perspective to redo/ remodel the Lin Kuei. Kuai Liang seems too focused with the Shirai Ryu this time around so if anyone should be redeeming the Lin Kuei it should be the guy who has taken the most mental and physical damage from being a part of it. And from that little plot line, the Shirai Ryu and the Lin Kuei can make peace with each other.

Again, THIS DOESN’T HAVE TO BE ROMANTIC FOR BIREENA. I’m more than happy if they’re just friends in the end. I just want some sort of redemption and closure for them for ONCE! They’ve been subject to so much heartbreak and evil in previous timelines, they deserve better than this one dimensional writing.

(End headcanon here)

I know this may all come off as hypocritical coming from me, the most frequent poster in the bireena tag 😂, but keep in mind the type of content I post. I VERY CLEARLY do not take myself or my art very seriously and most of my art is comedy based. So before you sharpen your pitchforks and sum me up as just another bireena artist, just know I draw what entertains me the most and I’m usually not serious about it.

Do I still want bireena? Or course I do. I just don’t want it NOW. I’m willing to wait- I don’t want forced/ rushed writing on a ship I’ve devoted myself to for the past year.

if i wrote a practice kissing fic would you guys promise to be normal about it

[beneathsilverstars]

i keep adding things to this one post and then realizing they'd make more sense as a separate post. so here's how the party explained what happened in dagger ending au to bonnie:

Siffrin was very sad and worried about everyone leaving, because he was alone before he met us and he didn't want to be alone again. But he didn't talk about it because we all had plans that seemed very important, and he didn't want to get in the way, and he didn't want to admit that he didn't have anything else to do. It sounds pretty silly when you put it like that, but the rest of us were nervous to admit how much we cared about each other, too! Sometimes it's hard to tell someone how important they are to you, if you don't know whether you're important to them.

During the quest it was okay, because Siffrin knew we would stay together until Vaugarde was saved. But getting to Dormont meant the quest was almost over, and they got so upset at the idea of everyone leaving, that they didn't really care about what they were doing. Why did it matter what happened to them, when they were going to be sad and alone tomorrow either way? So they weren't very careful while they were training, and they got hurt. Luckily Odile saw, and Mirabelle healed them right up.

Now, he's really glad that we all decided to stay together longer! But he might still feel worried for a while, because it's hard to believe that everyone isn't leaving, after he's been dreading it for so long. And sometimes when you're sad for a long time, your brain just tries to keep being sad even when there isn't any reason to be. But if we keep reminding him that we love him just as much as he loves us, it'll start to stick in his brain better! We might also need to remind him to be careful and take care of himself, because that can be hard to remember when you're sad. And while he practices that, we can help take care of him, too!

[mylifeiscomics]

Starting over.

I’ve expressed before I do not like the 50th because it took away from Nines story. He was the soldier, he experienced those horrors and he had to harden himself to do it. Now, I do like “the Night of the Doctor” which was with Eight and fits so perfectly with Nines character… so that’s the reference here. He chose to become the Ninth Doctor to get the job done but then when that was finished he was just left on his own to deal with that.

[lovesick-x-prince]

have you ever thought about writing and publishing an actual book? your writing style is so good, i would definitely read anything you might publish lol

Thank you! I have thought about writing original books - I actually have two fantasy series in the planning stages that I eventually want to write. I’ll try to summarize them simply but the plots get pretty convoluted lol, and I’m not anywhere near done planning either of them.

The first is a shorter, two book series. The two main characters are forced to leave their home and travel around the world collecting specific magical objects for a ritual that will save their lives. During their travels they learn a lot of lost history about their world, including a secret land no one has ever been to, a mysterious organization that appears to be stalking them, and tales of the two god creators who died fighting one another millennia ago.

The second is a longer series, think five books or more. The main character has amnesia (cliche I know) and is taken in by an a non-profit humanitarian organization. They pay and provide for the MC, and the MC works for them. The MC is sent on a job to protect a vital object in a realm - this object functions as the “heart” of the realm, if it were to be taken the plants would start dying, the weather would go out of whack, natural disasters would occur, etc. The reason why they’re sent to protect it is because of whispers of a plot to steal it. So the first book would all take place within this realm, and protecting this “heart,” while the MC is trying to ultimately discover more about their past and who they were.

Both series contain themes of immortality, magic, gods, LGBTQ+ characters, found family, and major world building. I’m really passionate about both of them - the second series I’ve been creating characters for and thinking about for almost ten years, haha.

I’m not sure how I’m going to publish them - I think I’ll get in contact with some literary agents to see if traditional publishing will be possible, because that would be so very cool, but even if that doesn’t work I’d like to still publish them online. Maybe as a kindle ebook.
