Vera, coming home after a long day at work to see her daughter watching tv on the couch with a bowl of popcorn, an octopus inside a fishbowl on the coffee table next to her.

Vera: Hey hun, wasn’t expecting you home. New pet?

Jacqui: Boyfriend.

Vera: … I know the early twenties is when people start experimenting but no psychology book could prepare me for this…

Jacqui, suddenly horrified: NO! No! God no! It’s Takeda. He was hit by some spell last mission and was turned into this. Lord Fujin said that the effects should wear off some time within the next twelve hours, so I just bought him home with me.

Vera: Oh, thank god. I thought your father and I were going to have to have a talk. Well, let me know if he needs anything. I think we have some coconut shrimp in the freezer if he gets hungry.

Jacqui: …

Takeda: …

Jacqui: Stop laughing or I’m putting you in the sink.

Animalities have such comedic potential and I don't think that we, as a fandom, acknowledge that enough

I wonder what Jacqui's animality would be? Did she have one in mk11?

[messydoodles]

Jax: Thanks for hanging Ken

Kenshi: Thanks for the invite man

Jax: Sorry on sec. My friend Vera texted

Jax: Ken, we are just friends

Kenshi (using Sento to see): uh huh

Jax: You watch too many romcoms with Cage

Kenshi likes to hear tea/chisme/gossip

Jin being a bad influence on Vee yet again. Featuring Cassie:

Little Vera: Uncle Jin, do you have to go?

Jin: Yeah, sorry Bunny. Gotta go shoot some bad guys and watch your dad’s back.

Vera: What was the last bad thing you shot?

Jin: That’s a good question. What was the last thing I shot?

Takeda: Oh, no. Please, you don’t have to answer that.

Cassie: You accidentally shot me in the ass that one time. (Realizes she just swore in front of a four year old) Fuck. Shit, sorry.

Vera: That’s so cool! Daddy, can I learn to use a bow too!

Jacqui: Oh, geez.

Takeda: I… Bunny, go play outside for a sec, please.

Vera: Okay!

Mirror Jax Briggs/TR Jax Briggs Bio

Jackson Briggs, a man many would admire. All that most people who know him can see is a strong, loyal and kind person… although you can be sure most of them are unaware of the little detail that he is secretly an international terrorist.

Jax had been quite idealistic in his youth. He had wanted to join the US army in order to serve his country and people, which led to his enlistment. While his exceptional physical abilities as well as his strong mind quickly earned him a position as an excellent soldier of the US Special Forces, he turned out to be much more displeased with their actions than he expected.

He hadn’t expected them to be perfect, but what he found left him with no words, especially every shady actions they secretly performed in other countries in favor of the US government. He constantly protested to his superiors, with no success since all he received were menaces of losing his position. He was making little friends there, with only the communication experts Gemini being someone he could honestly call one. He was actually making enemies, dangerous ones, who would eventually grow tired of him.

During a particularly dangerous mission, Jax was betrayed by the members of his squad, and left to die by orders of some of his superiors. It really seemed like it was his end, and it would have been if his friend Gemini hadn’t turned out to be more than he seemed, and, having suspected that something like this could happen, had asked some of her actual allies to look after him.

Jax awakened in a medical room, and, before he could even guess how he had survived, he was received by two of his saviors: Vera, one of the most skilled medical experts of the Golden Dragon clan, and Lord Taven himself, who trusted Gemini enough to believe her words that Jax was a good man and would understand their cause.

Despite being somewhat untrustful, Jax was still grateful enough for the rescue to listen to what Taven had to offer him. To his surprise, Taven spoke quite honestly and opened himself to him despite barely knowing him. He said he could relate to Jax’s recent tragedy, since his own brother had betrayed him and shattered his family years ago. He had built the Golden Dragon with the objective of being around people he could trust, people who fought with all their soul for the objective of bringing perfect ‘order and peace’ to their world. People who he considered new members of his family. He offered Jax a chance to join said new family, promising him that he could trust him and that they would fight to improve his world rather than wronging it. Jax’s curiosity and gratefulness led to him giving it a chance.

Jax went through the same process his fellow Golden Dragon members went through. First, for much time, he was just presented with what the clan did to ‘eliminate evil and corruption’. This included using the clan’s resources to make sure everyone involved in his attempted death received the fate they undoubtedly deserved, as well as making every necessary for Jax to rejoin the SF (one of the greatest threats for the clan), this time as another mole alongside Gemini. He was also allowed to familiarize himself with the clan, actually managing to make dear friends among their members, and even became more than just friends with Vera in particular. It was only then, when his commitment to the clan seemed unbreakable, that he was presented with their worst, more shady actions.

The Jax from the past would have called out Taven and the clan for being hypocrites, especially for performing activities that weren’t much different from the ones which made him dislike the SF. But now that he had seen how the clan apparently had the resources to change his world for the better? Now that he considered it his own family? The Golden Dragon had made another loyal officer, one that would prove quite useful by bringing in people who were in similar situations to him, including his dear friend Sonya Blade.

While not particularly eager to perform ‘necessary sacrifices’ to fulfill his objectives, Jax is still a member of the Golden Dragon, who will do what’s necessary for ‘his world and family’, at least from his point of view…

What would Vera and Jax's ship name be?

[snysdup]

Here are some more unfinished characters (and one that's mostly finished) that I've worked on from January through March. 1). Frauke redesign(s) of the current Frauke armor and of the more traditional Frauke bone armor. I am thinking of rewriting Frauke's backstory and giving the amulet that she wears a personification or something... just a thought for now. I also decided to change her weapons to two short swords instead of the great sword. 2). Ayano's current design. I have planned a few other design options, but haven't sketched any of them yet. Her backstory is also still a WIP, so more on that once it's actually finished... 3). & 4). REIN redesign WIP. Showed his original creator and she said "He seems younger here, before 90+ fatal injuries". In the past, we discussed the ownership of REIN, and I was told he's basically mine in a way, so that's why I gave him a wild new coat of paint at the moment. Now, I gotta finish him up... just like the rest of these... (Just drew him the other day tho, so he's the most recent WIP. Also felt like giving him color, so there is the color version (for now).) 5). & 6). Hattie's final linework for her wrestling outfit. I still need to outline the casual outfit and her mechanic outfit tho... I've been working on/off the same sketch of Hattie since 2022... 7). & 8). Kohaku's redesign. I think I need to improve a lot on her most recent WIP of her wrestling outfit, but for now, I just wanted to show that I have been working on her... I think more "armor" elements would really help, but not sure how to go about that yet... also not sure if I should keep the purple in her design...

--- Sorry if these files are low-res. For some reason, my screenshots are low res when I take them on my other monitor vs my Mactop's monitor... I'm very depressed... so sorry for not sharing things regularly...

[running-with-the-feels]

More Vera please 🥺

But of course!

---

Vera: Hey, why is Sonya having a breakdown in our azalea bushes?

Jax: She just found out her ex is now the head of one of the largest criminal organizations on the planet and is having feelings about it

Vera: But why is she in our bushes? We have a perfectly serviceable couch.

---

Jacqui: Hey, mom, I need your help lying to dad

Vera: Oh dear, what now?

Jacqui: I'm dating Takeda and he can't find out until I'm certain this is a sure thing

Vera: Oh, say no more honey, I'll cover for you

Jacqui: Thank you so much you are the best!

Vera: No worries! Use protection!

Jacqui, embarrassed: MOM!

---

Vera: Why are there four children I did not birth sitting at my breakfast table?

The Kombat Kids all look at one another as they scramble for an excuse, save for Frost who continues eating her eggs undeterred

Jacui: Sleepover?

Vera sighs, grabbing her keys and an extra pair of scrubs before heading out: Just don't burn the house down until your father gets home

[girlsloveupdates]

Should there be someone who keeps lingering in your mind… from the time you open your eyes… until the last moment before you fall asleep… am I that person? Someone whom your heart aches for when you see them in pain or sorrow. Someone who makes you feel uneasy or restless… when they ignore you or care for someone else other than you. Someone who makes your heart overwhelmed with joy… when you get close or talk to them. Should there be that someone on your mind, am I that person?

If you don't see a name you submitted here, it's because most or all of their career was as a child/they were too young for the cutoff, their career was almost entirely after 1979, or music was something they only dabbled in and are hardly known for. There are quite a few ladies on the list whose primary career wasn't "recording artist" or "live musician," but released several albums or were in musical theater, so they've been accepted.
