Quick reminder to the LMK fandom that the sets very rarely line up with what happens in the show!! They are very separate things most of the time. I know it's fun to piece together theories based on the scraps of info we got, but there's no use jumping to conclusions and worrying because [insert character here] doesn't have a minifig in this wave.

Other sketches I drew , majority being drawn today 😊

Tang and Scorpion Demon friendship headcanons? Please?

Hell yessss

* Scorpion Demoness LOVES to listen Tang’s stories, both of old legends and of his adventures. He may or may not make himself sound more heroic than he actually was, and she may or may not know that he is. She lets him do it anyways; he’s having fun, so why ruin it for him?

* (THIS IS WHAT I MADE BEFORE THE WHOLE SEASON 4 BEING RELEASED FIASCO HAPPENED SO UHH. SORRY FOR THE EXTRA DELAY??? ANYWAYS CONTINUING ON!)

* I think she’s also a bit of a foodie herself, so they really bond over good food. And therefore a lot of their hang outs either end or start at Pigsy’s! (She sometimes feels like the third wheel when it’s her and Tang that are meant to be hanging out bc of him and Pigsy bicker-flirting; she gets back at him tho by gushing over Spider Queen)

* I think she’s super strong. Like so strong she doesn’t even realize her own strength. They pass by the arcade Mei and MK like to play in and decide to try a couple games, one being a test of strength type game. She breaks it the second she touches it. They immediately run away from the crime scene

* Bc I am incapable of not including my ships in some way: Double dates! The first one is always as hell bc. Well. Spider Queen not only flirted with Pigsy (and Tang but that did Not work), but also kinda maybe planned on eating them? Haha, it’s okay she’s past that now! Doesn’t mean she won’t tease them a bit and mumble something like “This would taste better with some mortal blood mixed in” as she sips on her drink, side eyeing the scholar and pig man. Meanwhile Scorpion Demoness is just clung to her arm and when she asks “What was that, sweetie?” (Unaware), SQ just smiles sweetly and says “Nothing~!”

* Tang: Really? Spider Queen? Sure she’s pretty (from an aesthetic point not romantic of course), but she’s evil!No offense but you can do better! SD: … A Pigman- Tang: HES AN AMAZING COOK AND A KIND MAN!!! HE IS ALSO A LOVING (while strict!) FATHER!!! HE’S A DILF SCORPS-! SD: Augh, no, Tangy!! Don’t call him that! Tang: A /DILF/!!!!!!!!

* Now this kind of doesn’t work with most of my headcanons but the scenario is in my head now so: They wingman for each other but by trying to make their respective crushes jealous; SD gushes about Tang like she’s interested in him around/to Pigsy and vice versa. This backfires in the sense that they do get jealous but now SD is banned from Pigsy’s and Tang almost gets eaten again

* They have a book club that’s just the two of them at first but she convives Tang to let Yin, Jin, the purple demon lady (idk what we call her), and the… Little guy… forgot what he’s called, join them! It is the most chaotic and rowdy book club there has ever been

* SD always wanted to have a cliche sleepover and Tang is more than happy to indulge her. They paint each others nails (neither are very good at it; SD is a margin better tho and gets better over time. Tang does not), do face masks and play games like MASH. SD maybe suggests doing a spooky activity like chanting Bloody Mary 3 times in the bathroom. Tang maybe has a heart attack when supernatural stuff actually starts happening. They maybe have to call MK and Mei to save them from said supernatural stuff. They talk about their crushes, oooh~

Reacting to Succession | S4E7 | Final Season | The Scorpion and The Frog

A lot of feelings, from Kendall and Rava to Shiv and Tom. A lot of what I've seen in past episodes/seasons came to life in this one episode.

[trillscienceofficer]

I would like to clarify that when I say that Seven's situation on Voyager is fucked up (like in this post I wrote yesterday) I don't mean that Janeway should've listened to her demands and let her go in “The Gift”, or that Janeway and the Doctor had no right to start removing her implants (leaving them would've killed her after all). What I mean is that the fucked-upness is in the whole situation that made Seven's reclamation from the Borg possible but also put her in an environment (the USS Voyager) where survival is guaranteed by the close collaboration of everyone on board, which also means concessions of personal freedom and privacy. Other crewmembers entered this pact voluntarily (we can discuss some other time what choice did the Maquis actually have other than join the crew), but Seven unequivocally did not. Yet it's the only way she could've been reclaimed because we know, and the show drives this point home multiple times, that she was so young when she was assimilated that Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix Zero One alone would always choose the Borg. She knew of no other alternative.

I don't think letting Seven go back to the Borg in “The Gift” would've been an actually ethical choice, even if it's true that that was what she wanted. She was undoubtedly a prisoner, but I think that we forget (well, I do sometimes at least) that Seven, outside of any metaphor, can be very dangerous. She is strong and quick, she has Borg weaponry and technology at her disposal, she is relentless when pursuing her goal, and even as a drone she knows how Voyager works inside and out. Janeway took the gamble of disconnecting her from the Collective in “Scorpion, part 2” because they were expecting her to try and assimilate Voyager on her own, which she promptly tried to do as soon as the Species 8472 was no longer the main threat. So imho the ethical question posed by “The Gift” is, what do you do when an extremely dangerous individual asks you to be freed so she can rejoin the genocidal alien army of brainwashed zombies that terrorizes the galaxy? They will likely pursue you afterwards, but even if by some lucky chance they don't, you'll still have given back both a weapon and cannon fodder to the genocidal alien army. In addition to that, there's the concrete possibility that your prisoner might one day start living a different life once the brainwashing loses its hold on her.

So no, I really don't think that Janeway made a bad or even questionable choice in “The Gift”, even if it's painful to see Seven struggle against it. The complication has only just started at that point, imho. The fucked-upness comes from her having to “become an individual” in a highly-regulated and closely-surveilled community, one she could've never chosen on her own. On one hand this allows Seven to develop skills she completely lacked in a somewhat safe environment, but on the other hand it limits quite severely what she can or can't do. And while at first she rails against those limitations (she spends the entirety of season 4 doing just that), with time she starts understanding the value of living on Voyager. She manages to resist the Borg Queen's threats in “Dark Frontier” because she has learned compassion in the meantime, eventually choosing voluntarily to return to Voyager. It's a turning point that definitely does a lot to compensate for her lack of agency in “The Gift”. She thinks of Voyager as her new collective, which is equally a testament of how far she's come as much as it is a worrying admission that her new group identity is not that far off the Borg, in her mind.

By season 7 Seven is outright grateful for everything Janeway has done for her, but it still doesn't make her arc learning to ‘fit in’ any less of an exercise in shaping herself into the mold she was given as her only possible future. Is it better than being a murderous, mind-controlled zombie? Yes, it absolutely still is. Seven's independent thoughts and actions now matter, even when they clash with the rules, which is just not comparable with being a Borg drone in any way. Yet it's easy to see why her role on Voyager is also stifling, and that again she can't choose differently because she knows of no other alternative, and none are available to her anyway.

The fucked-upness also comes from extra-diegetical, production reasons, of course. The stupid ideas about what a woman is and what Seven should do to really be one (does she even want to be one?), the fact that a medical practitioner could control so closely how she presents and what she eats, the lack of actual clothes in order to make her a sexy babe for the 90s Trek target audience (“males aged 16-40”), the lack of locks on Cargo Bay 2 where she regenerates, and many other aspects that I'm sure I'm forgetting now... Ignorant, ‘default’ assumptions on how things ‘are’ that the show simply refuses to acknowledge. I know they only seem so obvious now because more than twenty years have passed since Star Trek: Voyager was on the air and the culture (in the US) has changed so much since then. This, I agree, is the kind of fucked up that I could easily do without and Seven's story would be better for it.

So in conclusion, when I say that Seven's situation is fucked up it's not so much because I think Kathryn Janeway should have chosen differently when it came to her; it's more that Seven's arc on Voyager is very complicated, for the most part, by design. Even if I think Janeway could've handled some things in a different way, in most cases it makes sense for her character to have taken those decisions regarding Seven, and I don't always think it would've made for a better story if she hadn't. Obviously I wish the production-level assumptions weren't there, and I think part of what Star Trek: Picard did right in its first season was flipping a lot of those assumptions on their head in just a handful of episodes where Seven appears.

Personally I find it valuable to keep in mind that Seven's storyline on Voyager can be complicated and fucked up without necessarily wanting to make it ‘better’. It still is interesting and effective because it's far from perfect, because everyone tried the best they could given the very difficult circumstances, because we've never seen the whole crew, much less the Captain, outside of survival mode. Yet Seven is also a survivor of almost unimaginable violence and coercion and it makes sense, I think, that her presence regularly poses ethical challenges to what other characters and even the audience might consider ‘right choices’ or ‘right behavior’. Survivors in real life, I think, often challenge our societies (none of them perfect, and where many also live in survival mode) in precisely the same way.

I love the way they've changed Luke's character in the show.

SPOILER for if you want to read the book, but Luke originally poisons Percy with a pit scorpion when he won't join him and fully intended to leave him for dead.

In the book, he's out for blood, and it's easy to hate him when he hurts people whenever they're in the way. But here, he's just a kid thinking he's doing the right thing and is saving those he cares about from more suffering at the hands of the gods. He doesn't want to hurt Percy and even seems to regret it before he runs off.

I think it's easier to sympathize with him this way, and his character won't be chalked up to simply "evil." The thing is, Luke isn't wrong about the gods. He isn't wrong to feel that way about them. But the way he goes about changing things IS wrong, and I think this change will help people remember that as the show goes on.

With this change, though, I can see him slowly devolving over the next 4 seasons. He'll have good intentions at first, but eventually, he won't care about anything as long as the gods pay. And he won't realize just how far gone he is until it's too late.

SEASON 4 OF LMK IS OUT OMG

JAW ON THE FLOOR

[evilbihan]

Kuai Liang headcanon

Hello, fandom demons, may I interest you in a Kuai Liang headcanon today?

I headcanon MK1 Kuai Liang to have a chronic heart condition that he was either born with or developed over time out of grief after his father's death and his falling out with Bi-Han. Kuai Liang is a very hot-headed person and I feel like his anger, hatred and need for vengeance would eventually take a physical tall on him.

I also think the condition could potentially be a side effect of his pyromancy. We know that he wasn't born with his powers. How he obtained them is, according to him, a well-kept family secret. @inflamedrosenkranz wrote a very interesting theory about how Kuai Liang might have received his pyromancy in this timeline that I would recommend everyone to read. But to get back to my point, Kuai Liang having fire powers instead of ice powers like Bi-Han who was born a cryomancer is definitely unnatural and could come with unforseen consequences.

Another thing that inspired this headcanon were some of the invasion mode nodes from older seasons that I've encountered. Those nodes featuring fights against Scorpion would often talk about heartache, the two most memorable ones being "aching heart" and "inner pain", the latter being located on the fire temple mesa during season 4.

In an intro with Quan Chi, the sorcerer also claims to know all of Kuai Liang's weaknesses. Plural. Harumi doesn't seem to be Kuai Liang's only weakness and since Quan Chi was apparently told about Kuai Liang's weaknesses by Bi-Han it would make sense that he would know of his brother's condition and forward that information to his allies.

In another intro between Bi-Han and Kitana, it's also said that Bi-Han (his decision to not save his father along with him abandoning tradition) broke Kuai Liang's heart. His heart is often brought up in the game for some reason, which of course, doesn't have to mean anything, but it's still interesting to think about.

I wish scars were a permanent thing in TMNT 2012 cause there's a lot of instances where a scar should've been on a character and stayed there:

Leo should've had a visible scar on his shell and plastron along with maybe wearing a leg brace for most of or for the rest of the serious as a reminder to his fight with Shredder in the season 2 finale.

Raph has some sort of scar on his head to show it is where the brain worm entered into him (same thing maybe for Slash and Rockwell). That or maybe one of his eyes loses it's green color and is now pale or gray to show the brainworm when in through his eye.

The burnt mark Karai gets in season 4 from the explosion. That should've been a permanent scar and I HATE that she was able to just shed her skin with her snake form to get rid of it. It would've been a perfect symbolism for her.

Mona Lisa having a scar on her lower back from the scorpion monster sting. It would be easy to hide and cover, but I headcanon that her back is now scarred from that poisonous sting. I even wrote a fanfic about it!
