not to be a bitch but like. i can never take "ohhhh kon is soOOoOoo sad about tim/ber uwaahhhh he's in love with tim but it's unrequited waaahhhh" angst seriously because like... i get it, the only thing you know about kon is that he's the other half of a popular m/m tim ship, but uh. rebirth kon is living an existential fucking nightmare. i think he's got way bigger fish to fry than whether the tim who only kind of remembers him at all is dating some other guy lmao

Mortal Kombat 1 Behind the Scenes AU: The Dating Issues, p. 3

Author’s note: I really like to imagine Bi-Han is the last person who would want to know any details from people's romantic & sexual life but also like, the one who knows a lot more than he should. I guess the AU's version of him likes to collect other people's secrets too 🤣 On serious note, it shows that  Kuai Liang can and will come to his older brother when dealing with personal problems (even if Bi-Han doesn't want get involved). Which is why Sub-Zero is fully aware that Kuai Liang and Cyrax's brother are close not because they fell in love with each other, but because they are in the same situation - their chance to be with people they actually love are very slim. I guess those two are friends with benefits who bonded over a common struggle, because misery loves company and both are very miserable indeed.

Kuai Liang is in love with Harumi for years, but she is a heiress to the Shirai Clan, so of course her parents won't see him as a good material for boyfriend/husband. He lives far away from Japan and may be killed at any time due to his Lin Kuei duties. He does not even officially exist in the "normal" modern world. There is little Scorpion can do about it, and he knows way too well that for him - and Harumi - duty to clan/family comes before personal feelings. There is a realistic part of him that has already accepted he may never be with Harumi - but give him a chance and he will go to great lengths to just see her again... like begging Bi-Han to cheat on Lin Kuei clan's rules by fake dating anyone for a day.

With Cyrax's brother (male Cyrax) the situation comes down to the fact that he likes Sektor's brother (male Sektor) but the man is an emotionally withdrawn person and one really really bad at getting the clue and/or not interested in a romantic relationship. They like each other, but it is hard for them to communicate - maybe both want different things or there are other issues that get in the way? Who knows?

Well, Bi-Han may know, as he and Sektor's brothers are very similar introverts and good pals but he ain't here to get dragged into another emotional mess. Let him be at peace, please. 

One way or another, if “male Cyrax” was there, he would personally ask Harumi to do him a favor and date Kuai Liang even if just for a day XD

Also, what female Cyrax described sounds more like cheating, but A) I did not want turn the "dating problems" into much worse issue than breaking up to not insult Kuai Liang's character and B) Cyrax assuming Scorpion lost interest in her brother instead of cheating on him kinda shows that despite all the conflict, she still doesn't consider Kuai the worst scum. Just a selfish bastard who ass should be kicked.

absolutely nothing more humbling than finding a man born in 2001 attractive. I feel revolting

I hope I can get my Poisoned Peach comic drawn up for everyone soon... the first "romance" scene is Sree the sanguine blood dyscrasia/moonlight professional dominatrix (also Khloe's usual coffee barista)  and Khloe after meeting outside of Sree's day job at the local popular though very small gay bar and I just really want that to be out there.

Do you have any Zhongli/Zhongchi fic recs? I haven’t found any that are nearly as good as yours 😔😔

funnily enough someone already asked this, but it was quite a while ago and tumblr is a mess to search old shit thru so here, this is the post this was asked during the ao3 crisis of- .......last year? i can't remember. either way, the post starts w me saying i don't have all the names and links but dw, after ao3 came back up i edited the post so you should see all authors and links in the recs.

i have to admit that for reasons unrelated to the fandom i haven't been reading many zhongchi fics as of late? so like- bear in mind i don't have an updated mental picture of any of the recs after the post was made. so if one went off the rails or if one of the WIPs finished, i'm not aware;; i also mention in the post that i'd add more recs if i had access to ao3 (which i didn't at the time bc it was down), and while that is true, it's been so long since i read any of them that i wouldn't be able to confidently reccomend them outside of 'i somewhat remember the plot and i remember liking it'. also i don't remember half of their names. so uh- yeah that's the list i think

Ep 5!!!

[misc-obeyme]

okay so! Imagine if you given the choice to marry barbatos and Solomon but here’s the twist! You have to choose only ONE to marry! Who would you pick? >:3

-🍁

Noooooo why do I have to choose?!

I want to marry both of them 😤

Though can you imagine having those two as husbands at the same time?? LOL oh ho ho that is fun to think about.

Right, but anyway, back to the question!

I'm really trying to come up with ways to get out of choosing lol. I'm like well technically I could marry either one of them and then have the other one just live with us or something... But I know that's not the point. I just want to find a way to keep them both!

But okay, if I had to choose for some reason...

I think I would choose Barbatos. But I would feel bad because I think Solomon would really struggle with rejection.

I almost chose Solomon for that reason alone because I think Barb could handle it better, but my heart was like, lol no you love that butler too much. And it's true, there's quite a lot I'd be willing to do if it meant I got to marry Barbatos. Sorry, Solomon.

But let the record show that I would rather just have them both to myself because I am greedy like that. speaking of greed I wouldn't mind Mammon as a third husband either tee hee

I genuinely want Peter to have like a story that’s all about him healing as an adult. Not completely, that would take forever but like finding someone he can feel normal with, a desire he constantly complains about in almost every iteration. Someone who he can do normal things with that is also helpful if not supportive of his life as Spidey (You can tell I really liked Chat)

He wants a life he can truly live and it would be nice to have an issue have that as a subplot. Whatever Spider-Man is doing is completely separate from what Peter has going on. His partner, friend, whatever, gets he practically has two separate lives and is truly patient. They would wait for him after a scouting or fight. Be okay with less lavish planned dates and get he is going to miss things. They signed up for this when dating a hero and they understand it.

Peter deserves for once to have someone consistently and overwhelmingly be in his corner. To be ready to sacrifice like him but at the same time remind him that he is Peter before he is Spider-Man, not only for them but for himself.

I feel like I make people excited for things I'm just not able to live up to. I make too many promises and plans for things that I think in my head should be no problem following through on, only to then not be able to even come close to reaching that seemingly simple goal and disappointing everyone I hyped up, along with myself.

This is more relevant to my activity on my main blog than here (honestly this blog feels more like an escape from the responsibilities I've made on my other blogs), but for personal reasons I don't feel comfortable enough to talk about it there. Maybe one day, but not now.

For the many of you who likely don't know... I was a part of a collaborative AU/AM known as AccidentVerse: the one with the fusions of outcodes like Vantablack (nightmare!ink) and Silence (dream!error). It was a relatively popular au at the time and I was the official artist for it.

I broke off from the team for reasons that I currently don't have it in me to go into any meaningful detail about (I'm still working through therapy to fully understand what happened to me when I was a part of that group; I'm sure it'll come with time), but one thing I'm now coming to terms with after 3 whole years... is that I constantly felt the need to justify my existence online through my work. I believe I had that issue even before I joined AV, but working for that team certainly made it much, much worse.

I was very young at the time, and I didn't have a whole lot going for me in the vast new social circle I was introduced to (like with any socially awkward 13 year old kid), so my only source of value was through the art that I made for AccidentVerse. And everyone loved it. Everyone I met was amazed at the skill I had for being at such a young age. I was valued, essentially put on a pedestal...

...as long as I was working.

Long story short, it burnt me out. This mindset still carries through to today, where I feel as though I have to maintain my prominence in the UTMV community by continuously working and pumping out new content, because... who would I be if I didn't? It was what I was good at, it was the reason I was so valued by the AV admins in the first place... because without that, I would've been nothing to them.

...

...Working on AV today, after adopting it as the sole owner... it's a struggle. I toil desperately for an ounce of motivation for a project that I just cannot seem to find. Don't get me wrong, I love AV. I love the characters dearly... but I'm starting to question if focusing on AccidentVerse is even healthy for me, with all the trauma I've gained from the people I worked under.

I just... I don't know. All I have is a half finished fic for AV that I practically have had to force myself to work on for the better part of 6 months, even if I genuinely hold some passion for the ideas in it.

I'll remind myself to not make as many promises going forward.
