[MK1] Bi-Han & Kuai Liang. Good brother? Evil brother? Nah, just different reactions to trauma, part 1
Author's note: the first part is not directly focused on Kuai Liang and Bi-Han as characters but at the worldbuilding, our knowledge about Lin Kuei and tradition that shaped Sub-Zero & Scorpion, and Liu Kang's acceptance of things as they are.
Lately it feels like Lin Kuei fandom split into either Bi-Han’s supporters or Kuai Liang’s supporters and the dispute over who is a good brother and who is not is an ongoing issue. This is greatly upsetting because both men have their share of flaws that sometimes fans exaggerate to demonize one or another. For me though, the brotherly conflict is not about who is good and who is bad, not even who is right and who is wrong, but about how two men groomed since childhood to be a living weapon deal with the trauma in totally opposite ways. As in, one is rebelling against the tradition and the other willing to uphold the system.
With Smoke, the adoptive yet no less traumatized brother, stuck in the middle of that.
Bi-Han and Kuai Liang being survivors of a great psychological and physical abuse is the most true for previous timelines, however hear me out - just because Lin Kuei falls now under Liu Kang’s authority it does not automatically erase the possibility of both brothers experiencing things that no child should. To better illustrate my point, let’s take a moment and look at the Empress Sindel and Umgadi system.
Sindel in general is presented as the ruler who does not seek an open conflict with Earthrealm and whom Liu Kang openly admires. As Fire Lord said himself, Sindel was destined to “rule Outworld firmly, but fairly” and it is her rule that brings peace to the otherwise conflicted Outworld
Liu Kang, story mode: Its past has been difficult. Though the last thousand years of Empress Sindel's reign have been a true golden age... the memories of that strife still linger.
and
Sindel's Bio: Her early reign marked the start of a new Golden Age.
That is what the character's Bio and the main story mode outright says or implies about Sindel.
But then intro dialogues bring a different side of the beloved Queen. The people infected by Tarkat illness are exiled, their property confiscated by Sindel’s edict
Kitana: When you became ill, your assets were taken?
Baraka: As required by your mother's edict, Princess.
and in result forced to slowly die in poverty far away from healthy citizens. Those who sympathize with suffering infected people and won’t “report them for quarantine” are treated like criminals, as was seen when Li Mei and her men disrupted the Royal Family’s procession while leading arrested and tied up people.
The bad treatment of infected people, according to Mileena and Baraka endings, will improve thanks to the new Empress, who not only reaches a hand to suffering but would go so far to reveal her own illness to reduce social stigma against the sick. Mileena is seen as hot-headed, violent and not the best material for a Queen compared to Sindel, the supposed wise and kind ruler or even compared to her younger sister, Kitana. But it is the brash Empress that would actually make an effort to change her Empire for better.
Similar things can be said about the Umgadi system, which forces Outworld families to give up their first-born daughters for a training that will turn their children into living weapons to uphold the Royal Family’s rule
Liu Kang, story mode: Umgadi, like Tanya, are warrior priestesses... Selected from the first born daughters of Outworld. From infancy, they are trained to defend the royal family."
The daughters in question will never know their biological family or where they were born to ensure their absolute loyalty to the Royal Family, even though not every candidate will finish their training. Once they obtain the title of Umgadi, they can’t marry or be in a relationship, we have no idea if they even are paid anything for their service. So far Li Mei is the only known woman to leave Umgadi, and she did so due to the death of Sindel’s husband for which she was unfairly blamed. And again, the tie-in material implies that the change to Umgadi system will happen because of Mileena, who is willing to reform an organization that is deeply rooted in Edenian tradition, not the “kind and good” Queen Sindel.
So just because a character is set on the Good Guys Side, it does not mean the said character is crystally good with no flaw at all or that breaking up with tradition is inherently evil, because the tradition alone is just a system of beliefs, practices or behaviors established in the past and passed down from one generation to another within a group of people or society and not a determinant of being good or bad.
Now, the important thing - Umgadi and Lin Kuei are very similar organizations. The similarities are especially true for old timeline(s) Lin Kuei, as we have more or less idea how training adepts looked through the ages. However, what we learned through sources about Liu Kang’s version of the clan still brings a lot of parallels to Umgadi - and I think we all can agree that objective speaking, the Umgadi system is very unfair to first-born daughters and benefits only the Royal Family.
Through the story mode and intro dialogues, Liu Kang does not question the nature of the Umgadi system. Quite the opposite, the intro between Geras and Tanya suggests that Umgadi was Liu Kang’s innovation
Geras: The Umgadi was one of Liu Kang’s best innovations.
Tanya: My order sprung from his mind?
A man who does not see anything wrong with enrolling little girls into never-ending servitude to the Royal Family, logically thinking, won't question the process of making Lin Kuei warriors nor the nature of their duty.
In previous timelines, Bi-Han and Kuai Liang as children were kidnapped and forced into the life of assassins by their own father (original timeline) or unspecified Lin Kuei member, presumably grandfather (alternative timeline). Their choice was to adapt to this hardship or die and so they survived and both became great warriors on their own. The fandom has been torn about their brotherhood for years, as if Bi-Han was a good brother or not. Personally, I do not think this was even a matter of one brother being inherently good and another inherently evil, as both men are the result of the abusive environment in which they grew up. And I truly can’t stress this enough - Bi-Han and Kuai Liang were survivors of great abuse and pathology more than anything else.
Now, in Liu Kang’s timeline Bi-Han and Kuai Liang were born into a place of power, as both are sons of Grandmaster. Sub-Zero as the oldest was meant to inherit the leadership once his father would pass away, or possibly abdicate. So in theory, Fire Lord improved the living of both brothers. However, the same as the previous, both men weren’t given a choice, as Lin Kuei clan is bound to serve Earthrealm while their existence is kept in secret.
Liu Kang said: “The Lin Kuei is a centuries old clan dedicated to Earthrealm’s defense” while Sub-Zero’s Bio adds “As the Lin Kuei's Grandmaster, Sub-Zero leads his ancient warrior clan in the defense of Earthrealm from external threats. For centuries, it has been their solemn task” and this is the tradition that will define the whole life of Bi-Han and Kuai Liang. Because they, as sons of Grandmaster, were expected to uphold and continue that service.
We do not have a full picture of how Lin Kuei daily life or training looks like in Liu Kang’s timeline, but the sources give some idea. And so we have an examples from story mode
Scorpion to Kung Lao: We're trained differently. It takes years to master our ways."
and intro dialogues
Sub Zero: The Lin Kuei are trained from childhood.
confirming both brothers were prepared for their role as Earthrealm Defenders (Liu Kang’s Special Forces) since they were children. Scorpion’s words alone brings another vital clue, as “trained differently” is what distinguishes both brothers from Liu Kang’s chosen Champions. We could see a glimpse of that during the Lin Kuei mission in Ying Fortress, as both Sub-Zero and Scorpion did not hesitate to kill their enemy and Kuai Liang’s “fit of rage” illustrates well how brutal Lin Kuei can be in a fight.
As story mode and intro dialogues point out, Lin Kuei weren’t trained for the glorious yet honorable Mortal Kombat Tournament, as members of this clan have never been chosen to represent Earthrealm
Kitana: Why are Lin Kuei never Earthrealm champions?
Sub-Zero: So that Outworld doesn't lose every tournament.
but they were trained to eliminate any threat to Earthrealm’s safety, be it by killing or capturing those whose activity concerned Liu Kang. As could be seen with the Lin Kuei brothers mission to capture Shang Tsung.
Intro dialogue Sub-Zero vs Reiko adds another detail about process of making Lin Kuei warriors:
Sub-Zero: To kill, one must be cold-blooded.
Reiko: My veins are as iced as yours, Sub-Zero.
Thus we may assume Lin Kuei training was not just about a physical aspect but psychological one as well. Both brothers were prepared from childhood to kill - while that was never demanded from Earthrealm Champions. In story mode Liu Kang said:
“No tournament participant has ever been grievously injured or killed."
and
“I would never send my champions unwittingly into mortal kombat."
so I assume the reason Liu Kang send his Champions to search for Shang Tsung was A) threat of the sorcerer that wasn’t supposed to learn magic in the first place and B) they were in Outworld, so he couldn’t call for Lin Kuei without Sindel’s knowledge.
Another detail about Lin Kuei comes from Scorpion vs Nitara intro dialogue
Nitara: Had you ever known hunger, you wouldn't judge us.
Scorpion: I have, and I will.
and though we don’t have an idea if Kuai Liang was forced to endure hunger due to training - as happened in old version of Lin Kuei according to Mortal Kombat novel by Jeff Rovin:
Many young people died during training: some could not hold their breath for five minutes and drowned, others weren’t fast enough to avoid the weapons of the masters, some starved or froze or dehydrated when they were stranded, naked, in deserts or on mountaintops and told to make their way home. But those who survived were the Lin Kuei.
Or was that a reference to economic problems of Scorpion’s clan, which at some point faced so great famine that it touched even the son(s) of the ruling family. Whatever the case, it gives us a sense of hardship endured by Lin Kuei members.
This leads us to another detail - father’s teaching (tradition) mentioned by Kuai Liang and Tomas through the story mode:
Kuai Liang: Glory? We fight for duty.
and
Tomas: Our clan doesn't govern. It serves.
while intro dialogues adds
Raiden: The Lin Kuei won't be allowed to govern.
Sub-Zero: We will not be frozen out, Raiden.
Furthermore it is important to note that every Liu Kang’s Champion had their own life outside the fighting - Johnny was an actor, Kung Lao and Raiden were farmers, Kenshi was Yakuza on path to redemption and saving his clan. Lin Kuei? Not so much, as Bi-Han’s Bio points out Sub-Zero leads his ancient warrior clan in the defense of Earthrealm from external threats. For centuries, it has been their solemn task.
After the Tournament, the Champions easily will return to their life - in the case of Johnny, benefit greatly by making his own movies based on the events, while the Lin Kuei would come back to the never ending training in preparation to defend Earthrealm and repeating the cycle by pushing their children into the same service. And it would go like that for generations, if not for the Titan Shang Tsung’s meddling that interrupted the “natural” order of things.
Let’s establish another thing - namely Lin Kuei duty in recent centuries.
Sub-Zero’s Bio suggest the Earthrealm hasn’t be threatened in generations:
But Earthrealm hasn’t been threatened in generations, and Sub-Zero sees no point in limiting his clan to preparing for dangers that may never come. Under his leadership, the Lin Kuei will come out of the shadows and fight for its place as one of Earthrealm’s great nations.
This lack of need to dispatch Lin Kuei to eliminate threat is supported by intro dialogues:
Reptile: The battle against the sorcerers was your first real fight.
Smoke: It was a baptism by fire, Syzoth.
and
Kenshi: How is it you haven't been to Outworld?
Scorpion: Earthrealm's defense has never required it.
However Bi-Han alone suggest something else:
Story mode: After years of idleness, it pleases me to again face kombat."
And so do the information about their mother:
Sindel: Both your parents were excellent fighters.
Scorpion: I can only hope to live up to their example.
Sindel in another intro says, she knew the previous Grandmaster
Sindel: I knew your father. He was a great man.
Sub-Zero: Yet he never understood the Lin Kuei's potential.
So I think it is safe to assume Sindel was familiar enough with Bi-Han and Kuai Liang’s mother to praise her skills and is not just praising her out of politeness. But the thing is, Kitana’s intro confirms the Lin Kuei warriors weren’t chosen for the Mortal Kombat Tournament, so how did Sindel know if their mother was an excellent fighter? That to me suggests she either witnessed it outside the Tournament or it was reported to her and the latter may imply Bi-Han’s mother took part in eliminating the threat on Liu Kang’s order, maybe even in Outworld. We know from source material that Outworlders do not tolerate Earthrealm’s unauthorized activity on their land. However in the story mode alone, Sindel herself admitted that Liu Kang’s “interventions have kept Outworld at peace for centuries”
while the vast tie-in material agrees that Sindel’s Court is full of intrigues and dangers - both to the Queen and her daughters. So, if Liu Kang is a close friend of King Jerrod and Queen Sindel, it doesn’t feel that far stretched to think Lin Kuei could be dispatched to ensure the Royal Family's - and in greater perspective - Earthrealm’s safety.
Now, if there was no need for Lin Kuei service in the latest generations, why a woman
considered to be an excellent fighter - thus presumably in great shape
who also happens to be wife of Grandmaster - thus presumably having access to the best medical care the clan could offer
died in some unspecified time before main story happened? That doesn’t sound like a natural death, as Bi-Han and Kuai Liang are what? In their 30s at the worst? Which gives the chance she was a middle-aged woman, not an old person who dies out of age. The Grandmaster alone, also an excellent fighter, died in an accident, though story mode does not tell us what kind of accident it was supposed to be. Did it happen on a hunting trip? During mission on Liu Kang’s order?
So again, for a supposedly peaceful time, it seems like Kuai Liang and Tomas are those who did not have much part in Lin Kuei activity - in contrast to Bi-Han and presumably their parents.
Going further, the sources claims Lin Kuei clan is dedicated to defend Earthrealm from external threats, and indeed Lin Kuei warriors fought against vampires (Nitara’s people)
Bi-Han, story mode: As a boy I heard tales of battles against your kind. I had thought them tall ones.
and apparently their might is know in Outworld
General Shao: Finally, the chance to test the Lin Kuei's mettle.
Sub-Zero: It will end with your humiliation.
However Lin Kuei apparently took part in solving the internal problems too, if Sub-Zero vs Kenshi dialogue is something to go by:
Kenshi: My ancestors say they've tangled with yours.
Sub-Zero: Has it occurred to you to ask them why?
For a quick summary, through the sources, we learn that Lin Kuei:
were meant to serve, not govern
trained from childhood not just to be an excellent fighters but to be capable of killing
do not have a life outside their duty the way Earthrealm Champions do
endured hardship (hunger)
each generation is trained to perform their duty
and presumably, even in supposedly peaceful times, the fighters may not survive to an old age nor die in a natural way (the fate of mother and Grandmaster).
So I think that objectively speaking, we can agree that Lin Kuei does not benefit much from its service to Earthrealm, while Liu Kang got an excellent Special Forces that kept Earthrealm safe for centuries.
[Next part] Bi-Han and Kuai Liang and how Lin Kuei training affected who they are.

МК1 AU, where Hanzo Hasashi is not rebirthed
After Ahsoka's ending, I cried my eyes out all over and then thought of my AU.
[Hanzo Hasashi] What if Hanzo became a ghost again? But he was no longer seeking revenge, but peace?
It took him a long time to forgive Lin Kuei, yet even longer to forgive himself.
He quietly watched as Liu Kang restarted the timeline. As the universe breathed life, and with it came death. Thousands, millions of lives drifted away through the eons, and Hanzo realized for a moment that being human was much harder and more exciting. As much pain as he saw in the hearts of humans, he also saw boundless happiness.
He learned to rejoice in the little things and to have a deep understanding of those who had stepped on the path of evil. He learned how to curb anger and hatred.
But the hardest part was learning to let go of those he loved more than his own life.
After many more eons, he finally saw them.
Harumi was still as beautiful and majestic as ever. There was a goodness and strength in her soul that Hanzo could not have had in his lifetime. She cared for other people she didn't know in her previous life. But Hanzo couldn't blame these 'children', they weren't the ones who had hatred and dislike for Shirai Ryu. They were the ones who had created it.
Hanzo would have laughed at the ridiculousness of it. If his Kuai Liang had found out that his counterpart was now Scorpion, he would have definitely frozen with shock. If his Harumi found out that she was now married to someone else….. Hanzo didn't know how his beloved would react.
It all seemed unfair.
But on the other hand, if he wasn't with them, maybe they could have the happiness they deserved. They could give Satoshi a long life full of joy and adventure.
A lot had happened since they had defeated Shang Tsung, defeated Havik….. and made peace with Bi-Han. His worst enemy… and his sin. Watching this man who dreamed of becoming Grandmaster of a powerful clan manage to escape the clutches of darkness, avoid his fate of becoming Noob Saibot, was a true blessing. Bi Han was able to suppress his insatiable greed, learned patience and forgiveness, and restored his clan's honor, once again becoming the protector of the Earthrealm with Shirai Ryu.
Kuai Liang regardless of whether he was Sub-Zero or Scorpion, he was still the same Kuai Liang he had once known. Loved. And still does. He was brave and righteous, knew regret and pain, but unlike Hanzo he was able to muffle it all and not follow the path he himself had once walked. Kuai Liang deserved his title, bestowed upon him by the clan for his strength and heart. Just as he deserved to be Shirai Ryu's Grandmaster and, as bitter as it was, to be Harumi's husband. To be Satoshi's father. With him, his family has a chance to live happily ever after.
A chance they wouldn't have if he was with them.
Perhaps it was time for him to let go and forgive himself.
"You will not show yourself to them, my dear friend?"
"They don't need to."
"They miss you."
Liu Kang never lied. Not to friends, not to enemies.
The very thought that his loved ones, even without knowing much about him, still missed him warmed his dead heart.
"My place is in the old world, amidst the agony and pain we endured. I will keep them until my time comes."
"When they remember, they will be miserable, Hanzo. They will look for you, all of them."
"Then I entrust them to you, my friend. You will do the right thing."
"That is cruel. But I respect your choice. Farewell, Hanzo Hasashi."
The two once allies bowed to each other.
Hanzo took one last look at the happy faces of his loved ones and disappeared with the falling fire petals of the Fire Garden.
He was at peace at last.
P.S. I'm crying Anakin is so😭
P.S.2 Now I need a fullstory for this AU, but I don't think I could handle this(

@mikka-minns, MA GAL! I HAD IDEAS!! 💛💛
Ok, so Scorpion!Harumi has been living rent free in my mind soooooo, I made an (huge ass) AU!
This goes Spider Gwen style like we talked! So Harumi became Scorpion instead of Hanzo!
I dunno what's the process to become Scorpion, I imagine they evaluate your skills during missions, but also go through some trail by combat! And in our reality (Scorpion!Hanzo's reality) Hanzo and Harumi are toe to toe but he wins by an inch, while in this reality Harumi got the upper hand!
And this here's my take on her design as Scorpion:
Now under the cut I go more in depth with her life and stuff, I didn't make it all that different from Hanzo (as you know, parallels and canon events🎸 and stuff) but there's a twist or two!
So Harumi becomes Scorpion, and due to his performance Hanzo is one of her most trusted warriors, till they have Satoshi and Hanzo becomes more of a stay-at-home dad so Harumi can go in longer and more challenging missions.
And one day she is hired do one of the most dangerous missions yet, steal a map from a Shaolin Temple!
She meets the man, Bi-Han, the Sub-Zero himself! He is, as expected, not impressed by the warrior before him, too short, too scrawny, he expected they would send something better to face him!
But as they engage in combat, oh boy! Perhaps he did underestimate this warrior after all! She was skilled and pulled a hell of a fight! But she is only human and he one of the last Cryomancers on Earth. Our Scorpion wouldn't stand a chance.
He defeated her and as he was ready to deliver the final blow! He hears a plea. From the Scorpion, and the penny drops!
A woman.
Sub-Zero is well known to be Ruthless and merciless. But not a monster. "Never women and children." That's his rule.
He beats her to unconsciousness, as he judges his right as winner of the match, and leaves her as she is, beaten and humiliated... but alive.
No one would hear of Sub-Zero's rare display of mercy, not even Harumi herself, as she woke up as a dead woman, in hell, reborn as a wraith.
No one knows who killed Harumi Hasashi, but for her, the killer was obvious, the last person seen with her. The ruthless, the merciless. The Sub-Zero.
He had killed her! And as she later learned, he lead an attack to her home, the Fire Gardens. Her entire clan, her beloved husband, and her sweet baby boy. All taken from her so brutally.
Sub-Zero would pay for this! And the only way she found to get to him was through Quan Chi.
A fair trade, she imagined, do one job for the evil man and get her revenge! It made sense for her. "It's what Hanzo would've done. It's what Hanzo would've wanted..."
She headed to the Mortal Kombat as a wraith, driven by her own anger and sorrow (and the whispers of a mad man) she killed Sub-Zero. He was unconscious when he died, a small mercy for another.
Vengeance was found, but not freedom. Harumi stayed by Quan Chi's side, where else would she be? Where else would she go? Who else would be out there for her?
But their "Alliance" was short lived as soon came the truth.
It was Quan Chi the man who slaughtered her family and clan, it was Quan Chi who killed Harumi after Sub-Zero had defeated her. It was Quan Chi who manipulated her grief her pain, her sorrow.
But it was she, and only she who had killed Bi-Han. She had killed an innocent man and sooner or later, she would pay the price.
It did not take long for someone to come to avenge Bi-Han. Two siblings. Twins. Kuai Liang and Lisa Liang. Came to avenge their fallen older brother.
By the time they got to Harumi she already knew the truth, she'd already burned Quan Chi till he was nothing but a pile of burnt flesh.
She had avenged her loved ones and killed a monster. Now it was only fair the siblings, now the Sub-Zero Siblings, had their shot at getting rid of their monster.
It was only fair. It was what Harumi deserved for allowing herself to be so foolish. It was what she deserved.
But it would have to wait. The world was in danger, and she was the only one who could stop it.
She pleaded the siblings for help, to help her do the right thing, "kill me if you must, but promise me you will keep the Kamidogu safe!"
Kuai Liang, though hesitant, was the first to aid the Scorpion. He hated her, that was true, but it was also true that he wouldn't risk the world for his own needs and desires. He was better than that, and he knew that, and even Scorpion knew that.
Lisa Liang however, was harder to convince, she was torn by her need for vengeance and the world's need of her. She did not trust the Scorpion one bit, and she thought her brother was a fool to even consider give this woman a chance.
But Kuai Liang was firm in his decision, he would protect the world, and Lisa, would protect her remaining family.
With the threat of the Kamidogu dealt with, Kuai Liang started his mission to find his missing friends and rebuild the Lin Kuei, he did not care much for vengeance anymore, he just wanted to preserve his family's legacy.
Lisa, went with him.
"My life is yours to take." Harumi told Lisa humbly before she left. The Cryomancer pondered, but ended refusing the offer. There was something about that Scorpion, something she saw during their partnership, that made Lisa hesitate.
Harumi insisted her life would be theirs, but in another way. A Shirai Ryu way.
She became their guardian and protector, she made herself a home, hidden within the Lin Kuei, until Kuai Liang, who had already made his peace with her and the role she had in his life, decided it was past the time to offer the Scorpion forgiveness. Even if she did not judge herself deserving of it.
Kuai invited her to stay officially and for as long as she desired. She would have a room of her own and role to play.
Never had the Sub-Zero Twins argued so intensely before. But in the end, Kuai had the last word, and Harumi stayed.
Getting Lisa to like her was a hardship, but as the years passed, the Cryomancer sister started to warm up to her. Even if she would never bring herself to admit.
Years later, Harumi was already part of the Sub-Zero family, it was hard, and having Bi-Han returning from the dead did not make things any easier, but in the end her efforts payed out.
One day, an unimaginable thing happened, Lord Raiden and his champions had found another reality. In this reality, Harumi had died, she had learned it was a normal occurrence within the multiverse.
But she had also learned whenever she died. He lived. Her Hanzo.
His visit to this world was quick, but it made quite an impact on her, as she made on him. They could both tell each other the death of their loved ones was not their fault. Never their fault.
They could tell each other how much they missed one another, how much their cared, how much they loved! They could tell each other everything they wanted but never had the opportunity to...
And by the end of the evening, Hanzo had one more thing to say: "I am in love."
Harumi knew from his expression that he was uncertain of what her reaction would be. He did not want her to feel betrayed, forgotten.
She assured him he was doing no such a thing, as a matter of fact, he was making her very happy!
Because she wanted him to be happy, she wanted him to move on, and find someone who loved him as much as she did! "He is such a sweet person, he should be able to share it with someone deserving!" She thought to herself.
And when her curiosity couldn't be contained, she asked the question: "who is this person that now owns your heart?"
And the answer, somehow did not surprise her: Kuai Liang.
No matter the reality, Kuai Liang always finds his way to one's heart, how could anyone possibly not love him?
And if someone is deserving of Hanzo's love, is Kuai Liang!
Hanzo had told her a lot about his world, it was not so different, though it had some significant changes, the one that shocked Harumi the most, was that there were only two Sub-Zero siblings, not three. Lisa did not exist in his world.
It stung her heart to imagine it, a world without Lisa's fierce heart, bold attitude and a kind heart she would only trust a few.
"A world without Lisa." Haruni pondered, "What a sad world it would be. What a painful thought."
Oh, I wonder what this thought could mean?
--------------------------------------
Congratulations! You made it through the end! :D
Here, have a (very) rough sketch:
I used recent pics of Lisa's actress (Rachel Lee Harris) as inspo (specially for her hair) and gave her THAT SUIT™️, I also gave it thigh high boots cause @gophergal inspired me!💜
Also tagging @paradisechid800 cause your post started it all! 💛
Edit: More of this AU!

What do you think are Gerard’s favorite lines of Shakespeare and why?
Selecting one line took me a long time, to be quite honest, but I finally settled on these from MacBeth, Act V, Scene V:
I have almost forgot the taste of fears;
The time has been my sense would have cool'd
To hear a night-shriek; and my fell of hair
Would at a dismal treatise rouse and stir
As life were in't; I have supp'd full with horrors;
Direness, familiar to my slaughterous thoughts
Cannot once start me.
In the play, MacBeth is waiting for his enemies to attack when he hears screaming from inside the castle. He explains to the audience that he's become so accustomed to doing terrible things that he is no longer easily frightened. The irony, of course, is that the outcry is due to his beloved wife, Lady MacBeth, having killed herself out of guilt for the murder they performed together. The irony of these lines would work for Gerard Argent just as well.
It might seem strange, but Gerard and MacBeth have an especially important thing in common: they often claim that their murderous actions are impelled by outside forces. In MacBeth’s case, the Scottish lord betrays his king and his dearest friend, even though he knows these actions are wrong, because he can point to the ironic prophecies of the Three Witches.
Gerard doesn’t have anyone supernatural oracles to blame his actions on. Instead, he insists that the Argents are at war with the supernatural. Whereas the Code argues that the Argents should only hunt in response to violence ("We hunt those who hunt us"), as embodied by Chris's interpretation, Gerard steadfastly rejects that position. He announces in Omega (2x01) that he's going after every one of them because they killed Kate, despite knowing that isn't his real motivation or that Kate struck first. After sharing the parable of the Scorpion and the Frog, he declares he "know[s] a werewolf's nature" in Visionary (3x08). He declaims on La Bête's murderous tendencies in Damnatio Memoriae (5x12) as if it were an exemplar of a werewolf rather than just another serial killer.
Derek, in a way, is wrong. Gerard isn't declaring war at the beginning of Season 2, because he acts as if he's always been at war. You can see him calculating the use of cutting down the Nemeton (though we don't know for sure he did it); he orders Kate to destroy the Hales, innocent children included. He speaks in strategies and military terms. He quotes Sun Tzu as often as he does Shakespeare. His argument is clear that war not only justifies his family doing terrible things but demands it. "When it comes to survival," he announces in Master Plan (2x12), "I'd kill my own son." He argues that Allison, too, must ready herself to do terrible things because "She'll feel the ground shifting beneath her feet time and again in her life. It is our job to teach her how to keep standing" in Party Guessed (2x09). His first mission for his 18-year-old son is selling weapons to a criminal organization without telling him in Silverfinger (3x17).
One of the keys to note is that, also like MacBeth, Gerard doesn't regret this, not in the way that say Chris and Victoria do like when they wanted Allison to have a choice. In fact, he takes pride in the strength of his will, as the Scottish king has forgotten fear. He gloats when he thinks he has Scott on the ropes about his ability to get things done in Battlefield (2x11), "and if you haven't noticed, I have a very impressive means to motivate people." Even when defeated, he remains confident, as he boasts to Allison and Scott, "I don't go easily, though, do I?" He's proud of his actions as he shares with Liam in The Sword and The Spirit (5x14) "they would call me a necessary evil, but you can call me Gerard." He wants to transform his wicked violence into a legacy through the lens of war and necessity; his entire story in 6B is Gerard trying to reframe his terrible deeds as a legacy. Even when he's making a deal with a demon, the Anuk-Ite in Genotype (6x18), he's triumphant: "The legend is, is that you need silver to kill a werewolf. The truth? You need an Argent."
While both MacBeth and Gerard try to position themselves as not as other men, their ends are the same. They are not kings or generals; they're monsters. "Turn, hellhound, turn!" MacDuff cries to MacBeth at the beginning of the decisive battle, and Chris Argent condemns his own father; "If you're looking for rationality, I think he left that behind a long time ago." These men have talked themselves into evil, and they pay the price for it. They both pay the price for it as well. MacBeth, motivated by prophecy to do wicked deeds, doesn't think that prophecy can be against him, but it is, for Birnam Wood does come to Dunsinane. While Gerard, who always saw the interaction of supernatural and human as a war regardless of the individual participants, is destroyed by someone he refused to see as his own daughter.
The final irony would be that Gerard would quote MacBeth as part of his arrogance and vainglory, because he stands apart from other humans as one who hunts monsters, but like MacBeth, he would fail to see that his own arrogance caused his destruction.

Still more thoughts about Tears of the Kingdom (SPOILERS! like seriously. in this one)
I love this game
So much
I had to find a guy for a quest but was like
"Im going to check out this well first"
AND BOOM HE WAS THERE
Alao the brown breakable rock break with one hit, blue with two and black with three
Seemingly
Matches the bombs it takes to break them
Tulin, whose village is dying, watching me search for pretty clothing
"Link please my family is dying Link we have to go Link"
The frostbite set is stunning
Finally a hairdo that lets Link have long hair
I hate the Sages
Not really but my god did they make their AI absolute trash
Theyre always in the way except when you need them to solve a puzzle
And if you have more than one Avatar present good luck getting the one you need
I HATE THE WIND TEMPLE BOSS
Not as much as I hated Queen Gibdo but
Why was crossing a spider and scorpion necessary
"Brave Fledgling" what if I cried
Tulin is so good
So is this making it canon that the time 10 000 years ago was still after every other game
I dont know the timeline is weird
But if there was both Zora and Rito at the time of Rauru
This is so confusing
Ive both heard and seen Rauru sacrifice himself multiple times now can these dead Sages give me new info
Zelda my beloved
Marry me please
Also so the only other Demon King we have ever had was Demise so is Ganondorf him or after him
WHAT IS THE TIMELINE HERE
The Sage calls Tulin "my brave fledgling"
Someone call me something so loving one day
Tulin is so excited to be a Sage
He is so happy to fight alongside Link
Hes so happy to save the world
I love him
What a boy
Boys will be boys is from now on only about Tulin
WAIT IS EVEN HE TALLER THAN LINK
Shortest Hylian
I got a third ring
Bring a gerudo bow to this boss fight if you can it makes life so much easier
I havent been to Death Mountain at all yet
Done all other Temples and fully mapped Hyrule before ever going near Gorons
The extra snow melted
TEBA GAVE TULIN THE GREAT EAGLE BOW
IM CRYING
REVALI IM SO PROUD OF OUR BOY *shakes the ghost of Revali*
PSSHHH YUNOBO LOOKS DUMB AS SHIT
I HATE HIM
Was already my least favorite in BOTW
But now he is a major asshole too
Fuck that
Bastard
Im not helping him
Im gonna go blow up his company
If this guy becomes a Sage I swear
I'll drown him in Death Mountain myself
The ember headdress is probably the best headpiece in the entire game
The Ember set is genuinely the best set
Its so pretty
Im gonna go see what these look like dyed
After that beating up Yunobo
But fashion comes first
IF YOU DYE THE EMBER HEADSET IT DYES LINKS HAIR
BLUE HAIR LINK
PINK HAIR LINK
BEST DAY EVER
THE SAME GOES FOR THE FROST OUTFIT
I love Cece
She is the only person matching my love of fashion in this game
I just realised why the evil Zelda is wearing Zonai clothes
Omg
Smart
Or maybe Im dumb
"Oh Yunobo was wearing a mask making him evil" no Yunobo is just like that
This sucks I hate everything to do with Death Mountain
Worst place
I have to use the machines AND GO TO THE DEPTHS??? NOOO
Nintendo you will be hearing from my lawyers
When I die Im going to ask Rauru wtf were the Zonai doing in the depths
No because if youre going to have a cutscene and then make a second cutscene three steps further just fucking make it one cutscene
Yunobo is a "young little rock"
Left that for now
Found Champions leathers
Found Royal Guard boots??
They were in the king's study
King's diary wasnt there so like is it canon Zelda was able to read it?
Misko was a good guy actually, hiding all these clothes for me
Me, in the depths: I wonder where this strange Sheikah tower leads
The Yiga hideout in Akkala:
The only ancient sheikah tech still working is Hateno Tech Lab travel point
I spent some time in the depths and FOUND THE ANCIENT CENTRAL MINE
Fought Kohga
GOT AUTOBUILD
Finally the shrine censor
And travel medallion? You treat me so well
Already had that prototype
ALSO GETTIN SENSOR+ IMMEDIATLY
Badass feeling
Omg Robbie's compendium database is so cute
Got all three upgrades immediatly
Fully stocked purah pad
WAIT THREE TRAVEL MEDALLIONS???
BASED
MY FAVORITE MONEY MAKER IS BACK
I like to kill the hebra great game because they drop gourmet and prime meat and cooking those and they sell for a good price
Horse and bullet time
Many coins
Zelda's memories are so sad
Been giving my friends a fashion show of my favorite clothing
I am again so gay for Sonia and Zelda
My god
ZELDA
BABYGIRL
ZELDA I FORBID THIS
ZELDA YOU YOU
ZELDA
ZELDA
NO NO NO NO NO DONT
MY DEAREST ZELDA
ZELDA
MY LOVE
I am sobbing crying screaming
Im so upset
Zelda being the light dragon is so unfair for her
She deserved happiness and freedom
Not losing her humanity and personhood
YOU CAN MAKE ELEMENTAL WHIPS
Kinky
I went into the strange thunder cloud
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS
Why is it taking me into the depths
Not again
Alright Sage of Spirit
I'll make your mech suit for you
That took a while
But owl head statue
Mineru my beloved
Oh.my god this is hell
Worst part of this game so far
EASILY
DONT MAKE ME FUCKING CONTROL THIS WHEN THE CONTROLS ARE THE WORST THING EVER CONCIEVED
Im leaving this temple also undone I DONT CARE THIS FUCKING SUCKS
I hate it
Fuck this
Why do game devs come up with shitty awful bad as hell stuff to do in their games AND MAKE THAT MANDATORY
I just quit the game no lie
Fuck that
I did it and I was being dramatic, it wasnt that hard
Mineru is so goddamn gorgeous
They designed this game for me specifically
I should get back to drawing furries
Mineru holding my hand which is her brother's hand
Tears
Mineru I love her
I have not beaten Fire Temple yet
I just cant
Depths
Darkness and puzzles and fire
Also dont like Yunobo
I feel so bad for Mineru
Zelda :(
Why doesnt Link get a secret stone
RAURU WAS MINERU'S LITTLE BROTHER ::'ÖÖ
Where did Zelda's special stone come from when its a time stone and Ganon stole Sonia's time stone
Mineru I will not go get the Master Sword
Demon Ganon is hot idc
RAURU WHY WOULD YOU
Ganon: "Link. I look forward to meeting him" goes into slumber
Damn all of Rauru disintergrated but his hand
I have to find the light dragon
Eugh
The dragons dont have schedules in this apparently
Sadly
Mineru so was in love w Zelda
Everyone is putting too much weight on Link's shoulders
Fine I'll finish the fire temple
*2 hours later* I hate it here
I did scam those puzzles as much as I could
Worst puzzles
Worst boss too
Marbled gohma
Fucking awful
I nearly died about 11 times
Rip my food storages
I really need to cook more
Special stone for Yunobo booo
Little rock is adorable pet name tho
Ancestor Goron is fine af
WHY DOES NO ONE MENTION THE DIVINE BEASTS BUT YOU CAN FIND THE DIVINE BEAST HELMS AND NO ONE MENTIONS THE BEASTS
Ive heard this story four times now
Fucking hell cant we get anything new
Someone give me a 200k word fanfic where Ganon awakens but is not evil
I need Ganon Zelda Link friendship
End the cycle
Watching Brian David Gilbert and Unraveleds rn
LMAO YUNOBO'S SPECIAL STONE IS ON HIS DICK
We have established this is not a PG channel
Ok fine I like Yunobo
Daruk was better tho
Ive found most memories why cant I say anything to these people about thats not Zelda
I know Zelda is the light dragon
Running around Hyrule Castle for 'Zelda'
About to do bossfight w Ganon
Can I do a flurry rush? No
I just hit or die
Life is like that
No clever tactiques just caveman brain and trying
Evil "Zelda" is fun
Why is Ganon like one of those movie posters here
Why is he still not rehydrated
Ganon I have dick to suck hurry up
"You will not live to see another sunrise" Ganon the sun is rising rn
Woo Phantom Ganons
Fuck yeah
Lets see if I can kill them aka can I finally take on Gloom Hands (I wont)
Ganon's so arrogant
YAY MY FRIENDS ARE HERE
FUCK YEAH
I LOVE YOU ALL
MY SAGE BUDDIES
Not Lynels
Still the hardest enemy in game
Ok so if youve found Mineru and have the Master Sword already, the convo after the fake Ganon fight Purah goes "Youve already found the fifth sage? AND you have the master sword? Why didnt you say so before"
Usually youd get quests for those
It was funny
Why is the limit of horses I can have ten ::((
The Charged shirt is actually so so slutty I love it
IT GLOWS IN THUNDER STORMS
FUCK YEAH
So I finally cleared The Deku Tree's little stomach bug
And like it is so funny how easy the Gloom Hands and Phantom Ganon become when youre in late game
I was sweating about it and then it was so easy
And Im bad at combat
Ok not to brag but I killed a white lynel. First time ever. Also first time ever I killed a lynel without Urbosa's help

Mk1 my beloved!
Mortal Kombat 1 isn't that bad. The game isn't nearly as bad as people are making it out to be.
Essa onda de ódio por causa dos nostálgicos é muito estúpida.
It's a new timeline. If you didn't like it, go watch Mk11//MKx or the older ones.
I've read reviews that really make sense because everything can't be perfect. But damn I read every nonsense on this site... opinions based on the delusional narratives of your disturbed mind.
I read huge hateful texts just because Kuai Liang is Scorpion. (It fit perfectly and if you disagree with that, IT'S YOUR PROBLEM).
It was OBVIOUS that Bi Han was going to be evil. because *OW HOW AMAZING* he was never good... He's at least ALIVE. (I also didn't like the direction of the story but honestly I had nowhere to go. bi han asshole but it's my dear favorite!)
Mileena's story was wonderful. Finally she has the space she deserves! And what an incredible relationship she has with Kitana. Liu Kang's gang was incredible, Raiden is cute, Kenshi and Johnny had good development (no ships here).
I'm kind of lazy to develop this and I don't want to stretch it anymore.....
Other than that, I'm satisfied with the direction of the story. I believe there is still a lot to happen but for now everything was great.

United as one! Ohsama Sentai... King-Ohger! Still reeling from the truth behind Gira's origins, the four rulers have defeated the Bugnarok once more through... less than efficient means, speaking charitably. However, their clashing egos may prove to be the least of their concerns as they stand against Racules and Desnarak. Kamejim, using the chaos of the battle as a smokescreen, breaks into Gokkan's capital and swipes a mysterious amber-like object related to God Scorpion. What dangers await our heroes as the battle rages on? For what reason does Racules betray Gira and his own countrymen? To whom goes the future of Shugoddam?
All that to say, "Spoilers, I guess"...
-"Rita turned Gira into a snowman and re-established his claim to the throne." Understood.
-Welcome home, Prince Gira.
-Kogane-san! Buun-kun!
-Gira-Ouji!
-Gira-oujisama!
-The people love the prince!
-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
-Yeah Zenryoku King is a certified bop.
-OujI! Ouji! Ouji! Ouji! Ouji!
-Stoooop!
-Oh hello, Desnarak. I uh... hope I get to know you a little better, we've been so focused on Racules I think I don't really register you.
-Rita Rolllin'
-Thank you, Mofurun
-Oh my god, they got an Android.
-I know an Android phone when I see one.
-Oh! Okay, going giant already I see!
-Oh that's neat, time zones.
-Siege on Giant.
-"Don't even think about disarming those bombs! They'll go kaboom~!"
-"Gira Hastie! Deliver him to us!"
-Oh, off he goes!
-Yanma jumpscare.
-"I became buddies with the bug-"
-"No you did not!"
-I think filial piety kinda goes out the window when your brother commits high treason and acts of war, Yanma.
-Gira goes!
-"President Yanma! Prince Gira! We welcome you!"
-Diplomacy, once more!
-Goddamn, Rita and Kaguragi gotta have some muscle on them if they can hold Gira back like that.
-Oh fuck off Racules, you manipulative fuck hjklhg
-Man, family drama's hot on Super Hero Time.
-Holy shit, Douga did that like it was nothing.
-"Back to work, ladies!"
"Kogane-neesan... should we be evacuating from that big coccoon thing?"
-"Mmmmm... eehhhhh, it'll be fine~! Don't worry about it, Buun-kun~!"
-Chained once more.
-HE DOESN'T EVEN GET A CHAIR
-Himeno what the fuck, give him a chair.
-Girls who go Eh?
-Boys who go AH!?
-He/Theys who go Otto...
-She/Theys who go "We're fucked."
-God Scorpion. A biggun.
-Rita, babe, I don't think this Quintet Alliance thing is gonna work.
-Ohhhhhh!
-Well, that was to be expected.
-"You losers are on your own. King-Ohger belongs to the state."
-Well, time to fight!
-Oh
-Did you
-Oh my god, you stuck the swords in the pedestals
-"King-Ohger is my God."
-HIMENO-
-Gira I don't think Kuwagon can just come whenever you call. I mean, he's very impressive but like, he's not a dog.
-OH NEVER MIND
-"Don't you dare take my beloved!"
-"Holy shit, that guy can speak bug."
-Sasorinne?
-Ooooooh!
-"Ohhh, you looking for this, sonny?"
-"YOU FUCK-!"
-Time to throw the fuck down.
-Show us what you got, Kamejim!
-Oooooh!
-These're some spicy battles.
-Quite a slippery little stinkbug, aren't you?
-Help us, Kuwagon!
-"Mine mine mine mine mine mine MINE MINE!"
-Good work, fellas!
-...oh, he's playing us, isn't he?
-"That little buttmunch just had to be the hero, didn't he?"
-"Don't worry! I'll protect you all, with the power to keep you safe~!"
-"Gira! He's helping us too, woooooooo!"
-The cheers of the crowd suddenly halted as Prince Gira called the king's name. Gira was sickened once more. A disgusting lie from a disgusting man. Once more, Gira was branded a traitor. A coldhearted enemy of the people. A pariah without compare. And to revel in that brand. The King of Evil Gira affirms his wickedness. A lie for a lie, a villain for a villain. Rise, Sasorinne!
-"My little supervillain... I'm so proud!"
-OHHHHHHH
-KING-OHGER ZERO
-Ah
-Well, that seems to be a pretty decent solution to our problem.
-Ohhhh
-We danced in Racules's puppet show.
-OHHHHHHH
-That is such a sick sword design.
-God Kuwagata Zero!
-Goddamn, I'm so invested already
-This has no right going as hard as it does.

“ your touch does not need to be soft. i will not break. “ goddess liv @ scorpion because she MISSES HIM 🥺
a collection of my own writings … sentence starters || @somniaxperdita || accepting
▬▬ι═══════ﺤ 🔥 || Beneath the nonchalance of a desolate warrior infused with centuries of gravitas, a gentle, steady warmth of human surfaces through Scorpion's impenetrable gaze; encompassing old trees, fallen leaves, water overflowing from the pristine, unperturbed lake cradling Shirai Ryu compounds. For centuries, Scorpion's subconscious remained unearthed, buried deep in debris of his dead passion and compassion, blinded by the submersion of his vitriol wrath. He would etch countless engravings of Hanzo Hasashi, splattered on the earth; a vicious, bloody remain of a warrior unblossomed, blankly and helplessly gazing towards the glacial dripping of Harumi and Satoshi, that spread like tree branches over arid earth.
Scorpion would often sit in his indestructible melancholic cage, perched against the familiar Hasashi farm, desperately awaiting for the promised assuage which would never come. Sometimes, the gnawing, everburning spell of his hellfire could be like a refreshing rain, cleansing his soul filled with tenebrosity of evil and wrongfulness. But, when his sempiternal grief becomes too profound, his loss too persistent, leaving a razed plain bend, his unshed, yet swelling tears would become a torrential flood flashing across his mind, as Hanzo Hasashi's neglected corpse reminded all too much of the fact that humans were fragile and destined to death, despite Liv and him being immortals, untouched by such grave flaws.
Still, Scorpion feels particularly fragile, as his human beloved overlaps with a particular fragility, becoming a grotesque parody of her vital being. Despite Scorpion's vehement resistance, the onslaught of contrasting thoughts bombard the world of his reality, as the overlapped memories of his past threaten to completely engulf him.
"When reality manifests as a bare whisper from beyond the stars shining like perfect jewels, I must entrust the goddess who will watch over her need of a love that is true, perfect, and endless - even knowing this does not assuage the centuries-old thinking of ephemerality, my beloved."
All that matters is his fingers gripping her hair remains featherlight, as Scorpion becomes convinced that the very last persistent barrier had fallen beneath the Goddess's assurance. For she is his Seer, as he revels with such ardency and loyalty, that he is indeed alive and vigorously in love. And Scorpion knows he could be naked in all semblance of himself; safe in her embrace, as his soul appeases hers and holds hers all the same. ▬▬ι═══════ﺤ 🔥 ||

scorpion / kuai liang based of the mortal kombat 1 (2023) reboot. lit up by rey.
more TBA. personals and minors dni! rules below the cut.
#1 mun is reynard, he/they, transmasc, 25 years old. i am from france, so english is not my first language. timezone is CEST/CET.
#2 i only interact with mutuals. that makes it much more easier to track things for me and avoid a cluttered dash.
#3 i won't interact with minors, as it makes me uncomfortable since I am over 18, and nsfw theme may appear.
#4 if you're actively trying to hurt a real person's feels, or show any behavior such as ableism, racism, transphobia, homophobia, queerphobia, bigotry, pedophilia, incest or just being an ass in general... this will end in a fast block.
#5 that said, we are not our muses. so as long as you aren't using it as a pretext to be mean, don't be wary about evil muses being evil.
#6 this blog may feature darker themes, violence, manipulation, blood, gore, war, etc. be advised before following! i wont always use read mores or tags. content warning will be tagged under: triggername //
#7 duplicates are a-okay to follow and interact, regardless of the timeline. original characters i can be picky about. crossovers can be fine, most likely to happen in modern verses or other fitting ones.
#8 i love shipping. this goes for more than romantic dynamics. so i'd be glad to either pre-establish or build up as long as there is chemistry. i am also multiship. meaning most shippy interactions won't be considered part of the same verse. poly ships are also possibe. and i will only have a romantic ship with one version of a single muse.
#9 activity can be iffy. mostly due to anxiety and an attention deficit. so if i'm taking some time to reply to anything, i am not ignoring you! feel free however to poke me.
#10 OOC discussions and interactions are encouraged. come scream about your beloved muses in dms! discord are available for mutuals to plot or discuss.
#11 i don't own scorpion / kuai liang, or mortal kombat content. colouring psd is courtesy of andsaintsources.

NICK CAGE DBD I'M STILL PISSING OVER THIS

- the suit is nice. it's a good shade of green
- "horror is my fave genre and it's a museum of horror that's good enough for me"; also aww family inspo. probably one of his kids if he has those.
- at least it was confirmed that he is, sadly, a survivor. killer nick cage would've been funny.
Witcher Season 3
- Very surprised Netflix is doing a season 3 of a show! Definitely a way to try and distract from the WGA strike bc why pay for writers when we can announce a beloved series and make people forget?
- Don't like Cavill for some things he's done but good for him to play a role he has passion for. I know he said he wasn't gonna be in season 4 bc of the writing direction so.
- It is what it is. Won't be watching regardless bc I wanna learn the game lore first.
Witchfire

HIII LIS! It is I, sunflower. I hope you're doing okay (despite the eden + shu gacha announcement!! sob sob. I'd drag Eden cover cards home to you as you deserve) I see your new theme too, it's a fresh sight to see ♥
I want to know your thoughts about barista Yuta 👀 You'd feel soooo lucky if he happens to serve you the first time you went to check out the cafe and would probably give 2wink exclusive freebies in secret for being his first customer ♪ CAFE AU!!! CAFE AU !!!!!! ✨ If you'd order a latte with art, and he asks you what design would you like but you said to draw whatever he wants instead, he'll probably try confessing to you with each cup of latte you order from him <3
also i remember that scorpio fun fact, that's so awesome but also scary at the same time especially when there actually are More Scorpions around,,, thank you for telling me !!!! And yeah... We are actually eichi inside. Moment of realization is when i realized i want to do things just for the reason that i'm lonely over the desire of actually wanting to do things </3
i wasn't able to grind for kohakucchi's card last week due to internet problems and so i passed on grinding, but that's understandable!! i'm also happy that at least many producers got him <3
Take care always!
— 🌻.
HI BELOVED SUNFLOWER. looks at my watch. Yeah, I'm sorry for replying so late to you,,,, I've been a little burnt out from. existing and hhhh save me. Also, I got your project ask but I didn't reply to it because I was saving the ask ! Your ideas are amazing, actually you though about many concepts I did plan using. Hands you a little Rei as a greeting ♡
You're always so kind to me, thank you! I haven't pulled for Shu because I am saving for Hinata 6th Anniv but. thank you so much still, I hope I get my beloved soon </3
AND OHHH OUGHHHH BARISTA YUU. Your. your thoughts right there .. shatters like a porcelain doll, you can't be doing this to me. Cafe AU,,,, I was never a fan of those actually, but now after Heart Aid I finally understand why people like them so much. Looks at the sky
ANYWAY. about my thoughts. I, unfortunately, haven't looked at the story yet (← hasn't found a livetweet) BUT ! I think it's refreshing to see old kind Yuta once again. Ever since Sandstorm I've been brainrotting about our evil yuutakun and how he has been breaking little by little as the story advances more. That was part of the reason why I wanted him to be with Rinne in the shuffle, embrace the evilness, Rinne has been teaching Yuta so many things and I actually think they're so similar, that's why I think Rinne is now Yuta's paternal figure.
Seeing him in the nice and kind side of the spectrum was,, unexpected? But it gives me a little nostalgia. Despite my evil craveness I still appreciate the sweet and innocent boy he is, too. As I said I haven't seen much from the story but I believe that being with his friends in a shuffle is actually so good for him. Ignoring Koga (because let me clarify, Koga is really valuable for Yuta's development, but I can't talk about him in this situation because of sandstorm) the rest, Tsukasa, Mugi and Shu have been important people that have formed Yuta in a certain way.. I'm actually extremely curious about his relationship with Tsumugi, last time I saw them in an active important interaction was Gondola? And most important, Easter Night.
I'm truly sorry about your connection problems oughhh I did get my boy ! But it's ok, you can get him next year with coins, I believe in u <3
HAVE A NICE DAY !

Top 20 Best GI Joe ARAH 80s + 90s Action Figures of All Time Ranked
(above: because toy collecting is a sports)
People love lists and so does Google and what is better than a list of THE GREATEST GI JOY A REAL AMERICAN HERO TOYS OF ALL TIME? Not much. Considering it’s possibly the greatest toy line of all time. To clarify - this is a list of the top 20 great figures, not necessarily characters. I will also try to avoid cliches like Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes and Roadblock and Duke since obviously these are cool figures but way too mainstream. We want hipster shit and there are literally hundreds of Cobra and GI Joe figures to choose from that were made between 1982-1994. With that said...
#20 - Hit & Run
The coolest of the “hey it’s a green camo army man” figures, and boy were there a lot of them, Hit & Run COMES WITH AN M-16 LOOKING THING AND A DUFFEL BAG WITH A WORKING GRAPPLING HOOK. Sold.
#19 - Range Viper
The first of the Vipers on this list is not the last. Range Viper is a unique figure that features some sort of brain helmet and was creatively a big swing by Hasbro that resulted in a grand slam. Creepy and menacing and awesome - you don’t fuck with Cobra’s wilderness troopers.
#18 - Undertow
Maybe the coolest water-themed figure in the entire GI Joe line - this Viper-adjacent bad ass came with a fuckin’ barracuda. Great color scheme and some serious ‘underwater ninja assassin’ vibes to this one.
#17 - Raptor
An odd choice from the beloved 1987 class of figures, Raptor is just so damn unique. A former accountant turned evil Cobra falconer, what’s not to love. HE THINKS HE’S A BIRD.
#16 - Zartan
Zartan doesn’t even look like a GI Joe figure but in a good way - he’s a master of disguise and leader of the Dreadnoks. This figure changed color in heat and comes with a creepy removable face mask because of the whole MASTER OF DISGUISE THING.
#15 - Alley Viper
This Florida Gator themed total bad ass is Cobra’s urban assault trooper. Sort of the anti-Range Viper. He comes with a gun and a giant shield and is universally beloved. The best figure of 1989.
#14 - Desert Scorpion
More Cobras because Cobras are obviously cooler than the actual GI Joe good guys. I’m not sure if Desert Scorpion existed before Mortal Kombat’s Scorpion but one definitely had an influence on the other. PLUS HE COMES WITH A PET SCORPION.
#13 - Beach Head
One of the most popular Joe characters and perhaps the main character of the 80s GI Joe cartoon, Beach Head looks bad ass, is from Alabama, and talks a bunch of shit in a southern drawl.
#12 - Sgt. Slaughter
This is a pro wrestling blog so of course this post is going to feature fuckin’ Sgt. Slaughter BUT IN GI JOE FORM. There were a few different variations of Sarge produced, the version above with USA across his stomach is my favorite. He was also noticably taller than most other Joe figures and once sold his sold to the Iron Shiek only to then be bitch-slapped and legdropped by Real American Hulk Hogan. So there’s that.
#11 - William The Fridge Perry
Another real-life-person-turned-action-figure, IT’S THE FRIDGE. He scored a touchdown in the Super Bowl. Awesome figure - he comes with a sledge hammer type thing with a football on the end.
#10 - Gnagahyde
Holy shit what a cool figure. Gnagahyde is an evil poacher who comes with a warthog named Clyde and has a knife that fits in his boot. Plus he has a sweet cheetah vest because he’s a poacher and a jerk.
#9 - Python Patrol Crimson Guard
A repaint of the already cool Crimson Guard (who was red, hence the name Crimson, anyway) except with an even better, very unique, color scheme. THE BEST OF THE PYTHON PATROL REPAINTS.
#8 - Night Force Shockwave
Perhaps the most beloved figure from post 1987, 1988′s Shockwave (original not pictured) is cool in his own right. He’s a SWAT team something or other, I dunno but he’s awesome. The 1989 repaint for the Night Force Toys R Us exclusive toy line took it up a notch and gave us an all timer with dark menacing realistic camo fatigues.
#7 - Viper ‘86
The prototype for all future GI Joe Vipers. Cobra henchmen. Yes please.
#6 - Firefly
Firefly is sort of the Boba Fett of GI Joe - a minor character who becomes insanely popular BECAUSE HE’S JUST SO BAD ASS. This figure could very well be #1 but it’s not but that’s okay. He’s a saboteur who works alone and gets paid by Cobra in his Swiss bank account or something.
#5 - Chuckles
A controversial choice but I don’t care - Chuckles comes with a working gun shoulder holster AKA the coolest accessory of any GI Joe figure. He wears a Hawaiian shirt. He’s an international playboy spy or something. IN THIS HOUSE WE DO NOT TALK SHIT ABOUT CHUCKLES.
#4 - Tunnel Rat
There are several versions of Tunnel Rat to choose from but I’ll go with the original. His gimmick - a Vietnam style soldier who goes underground and uh kills Charlie in tunnels - is so bad ass and Hasbro did an awesome job with the aesthetic of this figure. POSSIBLY THE GREATEST JOE OF ALL.
#3 - Croc Master
More 1987. Some purists might have a problem with this but they can go kick rocks or suck an egg or something. Croc Master is responsible for CROCODILES AT THE COBRA PALACE and is a former burgler alarm salesman turned.... uh ..... crocodile wrestler. The figure kicks all kinds of ass and comes with a croc and a whip so there’s that.
#2 - BAT
BAT is a near-consensus #1 on most people’s lists but this is my list and he’s #2 with a bullet baby. HE’S A COBRA ROBOT and the black and yellow aesthetic is just flawless. Plus he comes with a bunch of interchangeable devices for his hand. He would be number 1 but he’s not because....
#1 U.K. EXCLUSIVE TIGER FORCE OUTBACK
The original Outback figure is cool BUT THEN THEY DROPPED TIGER FORCE OUTBACK IN THE UK AND NOT IN AMERICA and the world ended. He’s a grizzled survivalist hermit dude with a tiger face on his t shirt, a big gun, a flashlight on his leg and packs full of survival stuff. THE GOAT GI JOE FIGURE AND A HIPSTER CHOICE FOR BEST FIGURE EVER. Just look at him. Life goals.
Don’t like my list of the greatest GI Joes ever? Go make your own I don’t even give a care you can’t come over and play with my figures anyway. Some images courtesy of Home Elevator of Houston and Austin. They also have a Dallas branch called Elevating Systems Home Elevators and Stairlifts.

Wait…
… Maybe I can do this now…
@iris-14cheonsa
This scene was really good for it, since my man is so rarely in daylight these days:
… Okay. Screen shots work. Anyway, you can see the ‘double collar’ pretty clearly in this shot (you can also see the button on the main coat).
And then if you look at this…
And then there’s a few full body shots… (he really likes belts, I guess)
And also one of the few times we saw him from behind:
Bonus much crisper image:
… I have too much time on my hands.

Watching The Mummy Returns for the first time, enjoy the live commentary
Oh cool, immediately into battle again
Wait isn't the Scorpion King a movie
Y'all just started walking into the middle of the desert, what was the plan there
Not the evil Anubis bullshit please. I'm so tired of Underworld Gods portrayed as evil. My man was just doing his job.
Hello there handsome man
Oh god, why
Why is there a child 😭
Why are y'all back in tombs, last time wasn't enough?
Oh, dreams, gotcha
NOPE NOPE NOPE
Wrong place for tarantulas
None of the side characters will live till the end, especially not these 3 fuckers, I can already tell
Excuses moi? Whomst U ma'am?
Oh, a vision
Homegirl low-key acts like the entire last movie didn't even happen
Aaaand the certain doom box contains....
Oh cool, the bracelet
This scene single handedly contained more water than the entire last movie
Oh cool, we going back to last place
Diggin' a hole, diggin' a hole
Hey ma'am, why are you looking so good? Weren't you a mummy last time?
Where the fuck did you get both books?
Not the fucking scarabs again
What the fuck is that
Oh, it's Imhotep
✨ exposition✨
Why the FUCK would you put than on your hand you STUPID kid
MY MAN
Oh the Cleopatra treatment? Classic.
TATTOO GUY MY BELOVED
Damn girl, you weren't slacking these last years were you?
✨dramatic cape flip✨
Oh cool, we are saving the world again
Why would you leave a figurative child and a literal child alone in a car?
Ooohh it's a cult. Probably should've pick this up earlier
Oh that's a bit early for the mummies to show up
Sup Imhotep, how have you been?
Is this chick like a spiritual successor or something?
Perfect timing my dude
There's a lot more guns this time and I'm not sure if I like it
THEY JUST TOOK A BUS LMAO
Hope you have insurance on that car buddy
Damn these priests have been practicing
YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE EYES
The opposite of Yeet the kid: Yoink the kid
You know I would appreciate some subtitles for these two
Nice to see a fellow monsterfucker
It's the fucking plague box again
Suddenly you learned English my dude?
See I told you, one fucker down, probably the other 2 too
This Izzy guy will never top old guy, no one will
In his defense, i would have also stabbed that kid's hand if he started the "Are we there yet" bullshit
Imhotep cleaned up good again, but his monster form is still hotter
I hate when they make the villains suddenly incompetent when they have to move on with the plot
I'm low-key confused on what's going on. Why were they fighting and why did they show up the bracelet
W h a t
Ooohhh he brought back his wife
Oh he's leaving context clues. Smart kid.
Wooooahhh. That's a LOT of people
✨water magic✨
Thank God the bird is okay
We goin' on a jungle tour
NOOO NOT THE BIRD I FUCKING JINXED IT
I do NOT like the shrunken heads, thank you very much
I'm getting strong "Don't go into the tall grass" ala Jurassic Park vibes
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
I DON'T LIKE THESE FUCKING TINY-TIKI WANNABES
GET FUCKED, THIS IS FOR THE BIRD
TATTOO GUY NOOO
DON'T FUCKING SCARE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN
That was lucky timing
HOLY FUCK
She's not dead is she? Like, she's gonna come back, right? RIGHT?
Did he just lost his magic?
You know all this scorpion stuff and they didn't even mention Serquet once, I'm kinda disappointed
This guy really isn't looking too stoked about his sister's death
Again, why am I more invested in the villain side's love story?
Oooh, I like the soldiers' design
It's rematch time
Coooool design for the Scorpion King
WAIT IS THAT THE FUCKING ROCK?!
HOLY SHIT THAT'S A LOT OF SOLDIERS
VICTORY
This was a long-ass climax
BETRAYAL
THIS IS WHAT YOU GET, BITCH
Oh god this wonky ass CGI is killing me
Oh hey, I forgot this guy existed
Peace out Tattoo Guy, i never learned your name but you're still the best
Well this movie was... something
Definitely worse than the first one. I felt like this has way too much action and the characters had way less breathing space. Plot was kinda all over the place. Still a solid movie, i guess a 6.5-7/10
All I know is that there's a 3rd one which is like, completely detours from these ones? Which is never a good sign honestly. THANK GOD THE CHILD WASN'T AWFUL. I was fearing that honestly from the minute i saw him, but he did a good job. Also is the Scorpion King movie related to this Scorpion King in this one or is it unrelated? I gotta check later.
