#snake eyes: origins

[kjwaikiki]

Fic Ideas brought to you by the Snake Eyes Origin movie and the Snake Eyes x Tommy Arashikage fandom.

Face Reveal AU:

- Snake Eyes face is revealed to the Joes. I think after how everything went down with Tommy no one really knows how Snake Eyes looks and sounds because he keeps himself covered and silent as a form of repentance or really fucked up form of self-punishment (after all he was a ghost before Tommy found him and after what he did maybe he deserves to be a ghost again). This leads to the Joes constructing an image in their minds that is false but includes the idea of:

1. Snake having a hideous scar

2. Snake being disfigured

3. Snake being mute

4. Snake being very stoic

5. Snake being a stereotypical ninja (it varies depending on the person)

6. Snake not being very attractive/desirable in general

My point with this is that Snake Eyes is not exactly close with anyone. They trust him but no one in the Joes knows him. No one besides Scarlett even knows that he can talk or what he looks like. This eventually comes to a head when Snake Eyes gets hurt and Tommy has to save him. I have multiple scenarios:

1. Snake Eyes is captured and tortured and while that is happening Tommy is with the rest of the Joes who are in a cell. The Joes have no idea about Tommy and Snake Eyes past and only know Tommy by Storm Shadow (Scarlett being the exception). So all of them are surprised when they hear a voice screaming Tommy and Storm Shadow goes rigid/freezes in the midsts of taunting them. Maybe Snake Eyes screams some Japanese or a pet name that he had for Tommy. The end result is that with every scream Tommy gets more and more desperate. He hates Snake Eyes but he also loves him still and surprisingly cannot listen to him getting tortured. Tommy breaks out the Joes (Scarlett persuaded him) and saves Snake Eyes. They go back to base and everyone sees Snake Eyes without the helmet and realizes three things: Snake Eyes is pretty attractive, he can talk, and Storm Shadow is pretty in love with him. The whole story comes out and Tommy and Snake Eyes are left to figure their relationship out from here with Storm Shadow staying faithfully by Snake Eyes’ bedside (he broke out of containment).

2. Something happens and Snake Eyes ends up underwater and drowns. Tommy sees this and jumps in after him abandoning whatever fight or evil scheme he had before. This shocks everyone enough that the Joes are able to push back Cobra. In that time Tommy gets Snake Eyes and drags him onto dry land where he realizes that Snake Eyes is not breathing. Tommy takes off Snake Eyes’ mask and gives him CPR. The Joes are very taken aback by this. Tommy brings Snake Eyes back and Snake Eyes promptly says something to Tommy in Japanese (something sweet and loving) before he passes out. Tommy is pretty shaken up about all of this and is taken into Joe custody. The whole story of their relationship comes out to the Joes and Tommy and Snake Eyes are left wondering where to go from here.

3. There is an undercover mission that involves seduction and what do you know the targets type is Snake Eyes. So in Snake Eyes goes sans mask having to flirt with the target. The Joes are very shocked to see this side of Snake Eyes (and his face in general) but run the op. However, Tommy shows up and is not very pleased to see Snake Eyes flirting with someone. There are a couple ways this could go but ultimately I think Tommy kills the target for a few reasons but mainly out of jealousy (he would never admit it) and corners Snake Eyes. The Joes are really concerned that Snake Eyes is gonna die but instead have to listen to a very intimate conversation between the two (maybe in Japanese maybe in English) that ends with Tommy very close to Snake Eyes warning him off doing this kind of work again. Tommy leaves but not before Snake Eyes make one final declaration about finding him, or loving him, or bringing him home that leaves all the Joes with the distinct impression that their relationship is much more than enemies. Maybe Scarlett or Snake Eyes tells the Joes about the relationship and past between the two men. I’m the end I think it ends on a hopeful note that Snake Eyes will eventually get Tommy back (maybe Tommy left him a gift).

I just love the idea of Snake Eyes’ face being revealed to Joes and many of them realizing that Snake Eyes is very attractive (Henry Golding), and Tommy being both very smug/amused and annoyed by this fact.

I know it may seem like a pretty problematic choice, but I would really like to see Andrew Koji as Kuai Liang in the next Mortal Kombat movie and I have a few reasons why I would like him to be cast:

1- Andrew looks a little bit like Kuai Liang from MK11:

In his role as Storm Shadow, even without a beard and with the scar on his eye, he looks like Kuai Liang, he even gives an air of a young Kuai Liang.

2-He has excellent chemistry with Joe Taslim:

In the Warrior series you can see the incredible chemistry that both have and they are very good friends in real life. I feel like the relationship they have would help make the fact that Bi-Han and Kuai Liang are brothers believable, it would even feel more natural. Can you imagine a flashback of both brothers in the Lin Kuei played by these two?

3- He also has incredible chemistry with Hiroyuki Sanada:

In the movie Bullet Train they both play the role of father and son, and despite the little time on screen that we saw them interact together, their chemistry was simply incredible and perfect. With Mr. Sanada being confirmed as Scorpion for the sequel, and knowing all the development that this pair will have until they become allies, wouldn't it be incredible to see them both together again this time playing out the biggest and best-known rivalry in the entire game?

4-Andrew deserves more recognition:

Seeing what an incredible martial artist and actor he is thanks to his role in Warrior I feel like he hasn't made a name for himself in the industry yet despite also acting in Bullet Train and Snake Eyes and it's sad because he really He deserves people to recognize the incredible talent he has and I feel like a role like Sub Zero in a commercial movie like Mortal Kombat would really help boost his career.

I know that this casting choice is even controversial because Andrew is not Chinese but Japanese and the film has greatly respected the ethnicities of the characters in the saga and I am very happy about this, so I want it to be clear that this is just a fancast and It is something that I would like to happen and they will not listen to me for that reason. Any actor cast in the future for the role will make me happy and satisfied because Kuai Liang is another of my favorite characters in the game despite the fact that many believe otherwise, and whoever plays him in the future will have my support since at the end of the day he will give life to a character that is dear to me.

Can i request your ocs with an oblivious reader? Like it doesn't matter how heavy the flirting, reader just thinks 'oh, they're being nice' or 'oh, they're just naturally flirty' so even if they tease and flirt back a bit they don't realise your ocs are legitimately interested? Could be anyone, but if you can answer this for many ocs can i also ask for the poetic reader in the bunch?

𖹭. how a selection of characters react to an oblivious reader that they are clearly interested in /gn reader

⊹ ۪ ࣪ ꒰ TALISEN 781 ꒱ knows exactly how to deal with this. darling you’re giving this man flashbacks to rishen — but enough of that. at first, he’d find it amusing and test the waters. see just how obvious you truly were. talisen’s flirts are always poetic ( unless you are in a relationship with him to which they can swing ), always seamless. the kind that makes you swoon, the kind you find in books — so when he saw that none of it was working on you. . . well he did what he has learnt. be honest. steal you away to the rooftop and tell you his genuine feelings. he’s not making the same mistake twice — and it’ll save him the grey hairs. so he’d serenade you were a poem, and then right-out tell you about his feelings.

⊹ ۪ ࣪ ꒰ JÌNGYÍ 9948E ꒱ thought that maybe you just weren’t too good with social cues - and someone who struggles with english he thought maybe that might be it too. but nope - he quickly found out that all of his advances went right over your head. no matter how hard he tried. the most bluntest of flirts, the most suggestive. . . and you’d just smile at him. needless to say he’d eventually snatch you up and kiss you breathless because when words don’t work for him, then actions surely will.

grim reaper x reader, ghost x reader

 

⊹ ۪ ࣪ ꒰ HÀOYÚ 9948E ꒱ took it as a challenge. maybe if he flirts hard enough you’ll get the hint - he can be shameless. surely he would find a way to get his point across to you, right? and so he’d flirt with you at whatever chance he got. waiting for that fluster. keen eyes staring at you, waiting for some kind of reaction. something. anything. you drove him insane. all of his poems, his flirts, his little compliments, his very blatant comments. none of them worked. and eventually, he would gently cup you by the face - stare at you like he was losing his mind and chuckle: “respectfully. and with all the love. what is wrong with you.”

grim reaper x reader, 

 

⊹ ۪ ࣪ ꒰ RISHEN 1311 ꒱ also took it as a bit of a challenge yet also found it quite amusing just how oblivious you were. he’d play around with you. throw little flirts and comments whenever the moment was right for it. innuendos too. not to even mention how touchy this woman can be. and when they noticed that none of it was working? well, their curiosity only sparked. so they’d keep testing just how far your obliviousness pushed to until someone, ( yu xi ), would pull you aside and beg you to give rishen something. because at this point it’s agonising for the rest of the team to watch. what a way to find out that the director of aegis was into you.

⊹ ۪ ࣪ ꒰ ALESSIO 1311 ꒱ was also very determined. he’s charming, he’s sure that he could make you fold eventually. . . and then eventually turned into a few months and he was left in a state of shock. you actually shocked this old man. and now here he was, acting like fucking rishen and strategically trying to decipher the best, most shameless flirt that would leave you blushing and stammering. and when that didn’t work? he felt his world crumble. fuck it. he’ll pull you backstage and make-out with you until you’re whining. maybe then you’ll get the idea.

rockstar x reader, enigma x reader, villain x reader

 

⊹ ۪ ࣪ ꒰ ORION ꒱ was so confused. in all of his millennia of being alive - he had never met a more oblivious person than you. it started with the subtle flirts, and when those didn’t hit you he gradually heightened the flirts. the comments. tried to worm his way in — and when none of it worked. . . he decided, that it was time for the bluntness. orion is shameless, when he wants something he makes it very obvious. and that’s exactly what he told you - all while he snatched you by the waist and leaned you into the castle’s wall. whispering his utmost love against your ear.

I have recently fallen into the Snake Eyes x Storm Shadow fandom thanks to the Snake Eyes Origin movie and I have some fic ideas that I need to put out into the world.

Non Betrayal AU:

- Snake Eyes never betrays Tommy it was someone else in the clan. Maybe, it was a random person. Maybe it was Jinx (in the G.I. Joe movies I think Jinx was Storm Shadow’s cousin??). The point is that it wasn’t Snake Eyes. In fact Snake Eyes was pretty on board with being a part of the Arashikage and having a family. Snake Eyes and Tommy might have also been romantically involved or at least on their way there. However, when Kenya shows up he talks about a traitor in their midsts (maybe he implies it’s Snake Eyes or even outright says it is to fuck with Tommy) everyone immediately thinks it’s Snake Eyes. Everything goes about the same in the movies with Tommy using the jewel being told he will not be the next head. Tommy still leaves believing the man he loved (still loves) betrayed him.

Then comes the next part. The Arashikage punish the traitor. I have two options for this.

1. They throw Snake Eyes in the snake pit. The snakes keep him alive but he stays down there a while. Eventually the real traitor is found/comes forward but Snake Eyes has been down in the pit a while and isn’t doing well. The snakes like him and are protecting him but when the Arashikage finally get to him Snake Eyes isn’t doing well.

2. They slit his throat and leave him for dead in the forest. In this case either Scarlet or Akiko finds Snake Eyes and patches him up.

The end result of both of these scenarios is that Snake Eyes gets better but doesn’t really want to stay with the Arashikage and really wants to find Tommy to explain everything. This is how Snake Eyes joins the G.I. Joes. As for why he doesn’t speak either he has damage to his throat that rendered him mute or he has trauma that does leads to Snake Eyes not wanting to talk to people (because no one believes him anyway).

Snake Eyes is still very in love with Tommy and really only joins the Joes to find him and get him back. Cue a very long chase with periods of intense fighting and Snake Eyes trying to tell Tommy the truth but either he can’t or Tommy won’t listen and believes he is a liar. Eventually things reach a head where Tommy finds out Snake Eyes never betrayed him either by someone telling him (either a Joe or someone from Cobra like the Baroness) or because Tommy goes looking for answers himself.

I imagine Tommy does not take this revelation well and in a rage tries to burn Cobra to the ground. He is probably moderately successful and eventually meets up with the Joes (he really wants to see Snake Eyes) except now Tommy learns about what the Arashikage did to his lover and Tommy is furious. It is easy to be furious at everyone who hurt Snake Eyes than to feel guilty about the fact that he also feels guilty about hurting Snake Eyes. Maybe Tommy even wants to burn the Arashikage down for what they did to him and his lovers. This causes a fight between him and Snake Eyes because while Snake Eyes doesn’t necessarily like the Arashikage he doesn’t want them all dead.

I don’t really know how this ends except with Tommy and Snake Eyes together and the Joes all seeing Snake Eyes’ face for the first time (maybe even hearing his voice) and being very surprised because Snake Eyes is not at all how they pictured him (I also think it would be funny if some of them get crushes/think Snake Eyes is handsome and make Tommy jealous). I just think this would make a great fic with a lot of angst, surprises, anger, manipulation, mistakes, and a lot of outsider pov on the relationship between Snake Eyes and Tommy.
