I was telling a friend about your OC and just called him "Buttons" without offering any other details. With that name he just pictured a cute teddy bear OC until my comment about a Fallout setting started tipping him off he might need a better description than that LMAO

"Sonic despises the very concept of technology and would never use so much as a phone"

Why is this a sentiment that people have and what is it even based on?

No, really. At what point could you ever come to the conclusion that Sonic has a rule against technology as a whole?

Before anyone says "but in CD-" CD has good futures where technology is a forefront element

#sonic #Everytime I remember that this is something people unironically say #I just think “okay why though?”#There's absolutely zero proof of this take #You have to blatantly ignore or oversimplify a ton of things for it to work #And it's easily disproven with a plethora of images or screenshots #i edited in some more images

lots of people reacting with surprise to the “zevran is 25” post. to be clear iirc this is world of thedas canon so a) i would not expect it to be obvious to anyone who hasnt read WOT vol2 or obsessively googled things and b) i still consider WOT kind of wishy washy canon where like it’s basically fine if you made a different assumption and prefer that. that being said i think being 25 only adds to zevran’s character and that people would write more accurate zevrans if they kept that number in mind

#i think people see this impression zevran puts out of being you know worldly and experienced #and they often end up with a zev who is much more emotionally aware and especially self-aware than i find particularly believable #if zevran is the guy in the relationship who is really easily recognising emotional problems and leading his partner through solving them #hes probably not quite right #like you dont want to overshoot it on the other side and have zevran be #essentially babied by the wise warden who never gets anything wrong because they take their lines directly from a therapy textbook #which i also see but like. there’s a balance #i just think its worth remembering he’s the ‘you dont want the earring you dont get the earring very simple!!’ guy #and is 25 #i think that makes for more zevvy zevs

The way some people characterise Buffy in fics like you described genuinely put me off Buffy fandom for years, it was absolutely everywhere, in Spuffy fics, in faith/buffy fics, it felt like I couldn't read a fic without the obligatory 'Buffy apologises to whoever the fuck for being so mean' and I just stopped, it was so baffling

For real its so weirdly pervasive. It genuinely blows my mind bc I totally get the urge to use your fic to call out a character/plot point you don't like, more power to you. Like I'm constantly imagining rewrites of the scenes where Xander is at his most insufferable but no one in-show is verbalising obvious holes in his bullshit (my big one is that besides a one off line from Buffy that everyone in the show ignores and a DELETED line from Giles is that NO ONE calls him on his absolutely infuriating "I was jealous of Angel being with the girl I like and I'm gonna have the gall to pretend it was bc I saw him turning evil coming" BULLSHIT)

But like. Buffy? You came out of this show and the person you had beef with and want to call out is BUFFY? THE VAMPIRE SLAYER? The protagonist of all time? Bc she's mean sometimes :( people try to apologise for trying to kill her and she's so unsympathetic :( she carries out her responsibility as the Slayer whether she wants to or not even if the person she's targeting is a character I like :( why won't she apologise. why won't she apologise. why does she insist on taking up space. why can't she just be nice all the time. yes my ao3 tag is princessspuffy why do you ask. yeah I know their relationship is abusive but I think Spike would forgive her :)

#NONE OF YOU DESERVE HER. SHE SAVED EXISTENCE AND YOU SAY SHE SHOULD HAVE SMILED MORE KILL KILL KILL #anyway. normal about her.#buffy summers #buffy the vampire slayer #im not a spuffy hater i love their mess but spike is easily the most common Why Wont Buffy Be Nice To Him i see #even though SPIKE loves her bc she DOESN'T let him off easy #'im a monster but you treat me like a man' was about the kiss in intervention #he hit on her and helped her fight and played nice with the scoobs all season #but he was clearly doing it to GET something and buffy is obviously completely unresponsive to that #but he lets himself get tortured almost to death for buffy and dawn and doesn’t seem to plan on telling them about it until buffy tricks him #THAT was real. the first real selfless good thing he did for her. AND SHE KISSED HIM FOR IT.#buffy has IMMENSE capacity to forgive people who she can see are actually trying #she just has zero patience for coddling self pitying murderers bc she learned from her first boyfriend #if you choose to do wrong she'll stop you but if you choose to do right she SEES that and she remembers it #she responds to action not words. you are what you do. and even if you're a monster #if you try to do the right thing she'll treat you like a man

just saw a post by goobiestar where tigerclaw has been put on babysitting duty and they doodled him surrounded by tiny babies thinking "i cant believe bluestar is making me babysit a bunch of drooling pathetic whiny pieces of--" and with bonefall tigerstar being a genuinely good dad (at least when his babies were tiny) i have this image in my head of firepaw imagining this is what's happening and then it cuts to tigerclaw calmly playing teeterstrike with the babies

I'm telling a super different story from the other guys in my orbit LMAO, I've noticed that also. A lot of my.... fellow satellites? Companion Comets. Peripheral Planets. Lean into the comedy angle of Tigerclaw being a nasty little boy

I especially love that one comic (I think it's Blimbo?) Where he sees his younger sibs and just starts kitty-smacking them like a real cat lmao. Top tier. If the punchline is "KITTY SMACK" you'll kill me every time.

But yah BB!Tigerclaw is really important to understand as like... a guy. Just a shitty guy, has some good things about him, but ultimately the darkness within him is run-of-the-mill. He isn't special. Firestar comes to understand that any one of the dozens of assholes in his life could have become Tigerstar-- and that's TERRIFYING.

Evil is mundane and common. Goodness is complicated and unique.

So your image is spot on lmao. Young Fireheart watching him from across camp like, "ill PROVE his evil to bluestar. Look at him now. What is he doing with swiftkit. Something horrible im sure. He probably hates kittens"

And Tigerclaw is pressing his mouth to Swiftkit's baby belly and going PTHHHBBBBB.

#Though I do think it's important that Firepaw respected Tiger at first #And it's an easily forgotten detail #But like... we should remember it more imo #Firepaw realized that Tigerclaw was evil not because of immediate suspicion #But because the respected and beloved senior warrior was a XENOPHOBE #Of COURSE Firepaw realized it before the other members of the clan #They were blind to it because the entire Clan is BIGOTED #They did not see the warning signs as important because his first open targets where the powerless #Gray and Raven and Fire #People you're allowed to bully and threaten.#But Firepaw. Who is NEW to the Clan. With a FRESH perspective. Can see it immediately that Ravenpaw is being abused #And that Tiger often uses his status to bully those below him including himself #RE: The thesis of BB!TPB being ultimately that SCOURGE IS RIGHT #And that the Clans need to change.#Bone babble #Also I only hesitate to call anyone mutuals because I actually follow veeerrrry few ppl on tumblr #I read tmblr like a newspaper. When I wanna see what some guy is up to I check their blog lmao #And read back. Then close it out #Heavy dashboard scary. Elder Bones needs quiet time #I read other blogs like newspaper

Liu Kang knew Bi-Han's parents, which means that he knew Bi-Han his whole life. He had to have seen him being frustrated growing up. Why did he never talk to Bi-Han? I understand that he doesn't want to micromanage people's fates and destinies, but simply talking to him and hopefully getting through to him could have prevented all of this. Liu Kang can have high hopes for Bi-Han, but him not helping out an obviously troubled youth would all but ensure that said high hopes get dashed.

But did Liu Kang really have that close relationship with Bi-Han or his father to begin with? I have no doubt he was familiar with both, as Lin Kuei for generations served as his special forces to ensure Earthrealm’s safety, however that alone doesn’t mean he was best friends with any of them. The more I analyze story mode and intro dialogues, the more source material makes me question how truly close, if ever, was Liu Kang with his Lin Kuei subordinates, beside maybe Kuai Liang alone.

As I mentioned in different ask, Liu Kang did not interact with Bi-Han or his brothers outside of Lin Kuei servitude scenes in the story mode but he did spent time with his Champions, dining together or answering their questions and explaining things, be it about places and people or praising them and showing friendly gestures like putting an arm on Raiden’s back after the mortal won Tournament. The comradeship is especially visible with A) his Champions, as they trained for months with Shaolin Monks and we see them all interacting freely with Liu Kang between important events and with B) Geras, the loyal guardian of Hourglass.

That is story mode alone. Bi-Han was never called a friend, never introduced by Liu Kang as the Grandmaster or just Sub-Zero and frankly, it was the Lin Kuei to bow to Fire Lord when commanded or rebuked to calm down in Cage’s Mansion arc - a gesture Liu Kang does not return but he does bow in greeting to all of Royal Family, including Jerrod, even though they both considers each other a good friends. There is a clear, visible contrast in how Liu Kang interacts with Bi-Han, Kuai Liang or Smoke (whom he does not interact in any meaningful way) and other of his allies.

Now, did Liu Kang truly know that well Bi-Han to see his growing frustration?

For example, the story mode presents Geras and Jerrod (in Ermac’s body) as Liu Kang’s friends,

however Bi-Han’s father wasn’t mentioned at all by Fire Lord, even though his death happened quite recently. All we learn about the man’s teaching, values and death come solely from what Lin Kuei brothers told us. If not for intro dialogues, we could easily assume there was no relationship between Liu Kang and the previous leader of Lin Kuei and even this one direct praise

Sub Zero: My father was a fool to follow you. Liu Kang: He wisely honored Earthrealm with his service.

is sparse compared to what other characters bring up about Bi-Han’s father, especially in regard to his edenian friends:

Sindel: I knew your father. He was a great man. Sub Zero: Yet he never understood the Lin Kuei's potential.

Sindel: Both your parents were excellent fighters. Scorpion: I can only hope to live up to their example.

Scorpion: Your husband's murder haunted my father. Sindel: All those close to Jerrod were devastated.

Liu Kang did praise the previous Grandmaster for his service to Earthrealm but unless we count the more general term of family used in other of his vs. Sub-Zero intro dialogue, that is basically all? Liu Kang doesn’t directly address the fact Bi-Han let his father die, which is weird, as Sub-Zero was questioned about that even by Ashrah, Tanya and Reiko - the people Bi-Han barely, if ever, interacted - but not by Liu Kang, the man who in theory knew Bi-Han and his family since forever?

Understandably, it is hard to fit all nuances of the relationship between Liu Kang and the main Lin Kuei characters into one game that wasn’t even primarily focused on it to begin with. However the contrast between Liu Kang’s treatment of people he considers his friends - including the befriended champions - and Liu Kang’s interaction with Bi-Han and his family leads me to think there was never any truly close bond between Fire Lord and Sub-Zero and thus, Liu Kang simply couldn’t recognize Sub-Zero’s frustration for what it was.

For one, we don’t have an idea how Bi-Han behaved in the past, nor how differently it could be from what we see in story mode. According to Kuai Liang, his “frustrations ran deep” but it does not tell us how long Sub-Zero was consumed by anger at his clan’s servitude to Earthrealm. For all we know, he may always act in this abrasive, direct, even bordering on insulting way, as most known to us cryomancers usually did in the past, which is why his brothers and Liu Kang don’t seem bothered much by his behavior because at this point in life they are simply used to it. Some people just lack social awareness - or care for false politeness and Bi-Han could easily be like that from the start. What alone doesn’t make him an inherently evil person, just difficult to interact with.

Then, there is the matter of stress, as Bi-Han took over Lin Kuei after his father’s death. If we agreed that Liu Kang did not have knowledge about the “accident” not had any suspicion about Bi-Han’s role in that, the Fire Lord could simply assume that Sub-Zero is still adjusting to his new role of Grandmaster and understandably, the grief over dead father (and mother) and stress due to new responsibilities made him more irascible than usual. At the same time, it is not like Bi-Han acted non stop violently, as for most of the time he simply stood behind Liu Kang and did not speak out, obeying Fire Lord’s commands without a protest. What is worth to note Bi-Han acted aggressively toward Liu Kang’s Champions AFTER they either openly insulted Lin Kuei (Kung Lao’s bragging about winning without figuring out Lin Kuei hold their punches) or violated his personal space (Johnny grabbing Bi-Han’s arm when he worked on freeing Kenshi), so it is not like Sub-Zero didn’t keep his temper in check for most of time. More so, each time Liu Kang interferended, Bi-Han obediently backed down.

We need to remember three things:

Liu Kang is not an omnipotent god that knows everything and everyone nor reads people's hearts like some open book. Otherwise, Titan Shang Tsung wouldn’t be able to sneak into his timeline to corrupt people who weren't meant to pose danger. In contrast to Kronika, he does not tyrannically steer events to his own liking and allows mortals’ free will to affect the outcome, for good and bad.

Bi-Han did not complain to Liu Kang about his frustration nor raised the issue of Lin Kuei social-economy status. Come to think about it, he barely talked with Fire Lord and for sure did not talk about anything outside his current duties. Sub-Zero vented his frustration solely to his brothers and only in privacy - a clear indication which people he trusted enough to be open about his feelings and ire.

As stated in Sub-Zero's BIO, there was no danger threatening Earthrealm for generations and so Liu Kang’s contact with Bi-Han and his father before him didn’t necessarily need to happen on a daily basis. Lin Kuei warriors were not living at the same place as Fire Lord. As story mode showed, the Grandmaster was summoned in case of danger, however since their realm was not currently at war, Liu Kang didn’t need to oversee Lin Kuei efforts that closely nor constantly kept those warriors around as he had company of his own people, the Shaolin Monks and other duties to attend.

That said, I do think Fire Lord kept in touch with Lin Kuei Grandmasters, maybe even on a more personal level, yet looking at Bi-Han and Liu Kang’s interaction, it definitely doesn’t feel like the master and apprentice relationship Liu Kang and Raiden have, nor like the friendly interaction between Fire Lord and his Champions in general. The story mode alone doesn’t imply Liu Kang was in any special way involved with Bi-Han as a person outside his affiliation to Lin Kuei and duties of Grandmaster - but frankly, the same can be said about Kuai Liang and especially Tomas. It does not necessary mean that in the past Liu Kang has never tried to talk with Bi-Han and easy his frustration, however the question is: did he know Bi-Han that good to recognize the conflicting emotions in young Sub-Zero beyond the potential mourning dead parents and stress of being burdened with great responsibilities coming with Grandmaster’s title?

For all we know, Liu Kang may as well tried in the past to connect with the troubled youth, yet Bi-Han simply learned to hide his true emotions and doubts better as he does not consider the Fire Lord his friend or family nor a mentor-like figure to open to. In result, Liu Kang could have had an even less clear idea of how deep the frustration ran and simply assumed all is as good as it could be considering everything that happened recently in B-Han’s life and tried to give the mortal time and space to figure out his feelings at his own pace. Otherwise I fear his statement of having great hopes for Bi-Han wouldn’t make sense, if he thought Sub-Zero won’t come around on his own or the man was beyond the reach already.

I would love for Liu Kang to make a visible (story mode-wise) effort to confront Bi-Han about their conflict and talk him out of abandoning, if not the Earthrealm itself, then at least his brothers. I would love no less any intro dialogues suggesting he did try in the past to connect with young Sub-Zero. But we need to remember that Bi-Han would need to be willing to listen in the first place to even consider the Fire Lord’s words at all, and so far, he rejects Liu Kang’s authority completely while the source material rather imply Bi-Han is not fond of Fire Lord in any special way - what adds to the feeling they never had any close relationship to begin with.

So, why did Liu Kang not try to prevent the mess? For once, he simply could not have any good idea that Bi-Han’s frustrations ran deeply enough to pose a threat to Earthrealm’s safety as Bi-Han did not confide in him at all (Bi-Han’s brothers are those who had better idea what was going on but even they did not grasped the enormity of this problem). Or Liu Kiang confused frustration with not handling well the loss of father (and most likely mother before that) and stress of new duties thrusted into him too quickly and unexpectedly due to the accidental death of the previous leader (how old Bi-Han is anyway? For all we know his father could rule Lin Kuei for another decades - it is different to formally inherit power from your sick/old father, where you are already ruling unofficially on his behalf, rather than overnight becoming the sole leader of the entire clan).

I don’t think we can blame Liu Kang for not seeing Bi-Han’s conflicting emotions and a growing sense of injustice done to his clan, because Fire Lord did not have a reason to consider Sub-Zero to be disloyal in the first place, nor did think there was something wrong with Lin Kuei's duties. Bi-Han being brash and short-tempered? Not the best traits to have in a Grandmaster (subordinate) for sure, but which young cryomancer wasn’t like that at some point? If Liu Kang did not manage to bond with young Bi-Han, it doesn’t necessary must be solely his lack of trying but also Bi-Han’s lack of trust and will to see Liu Kang as anything than Fire Lord, the Protector of Earthrealm - considering Bi-Han’s feeling of enslavement of his clan, he could refuse to get close to someone who will without blinking an eye sacrifice him, his brothers and subordinates for the Earthrealm’s safety, because what is point of lying to yourself such person could be your true friend if Earthrealm will always come first before any Lin Kuei?

#mortal kombat #my replies #liu kang #bi han #lin kuei #i feel the blame for not bonding between those two when bi han was a kid can be easily shared by both sides #liu kang could be busy with his duties and if there is no war to make him hang around lin kuei all the time #he could not have many good opportunities to bond with bi han #the same as bi han could be a kid that does not trust easily and bonds with only like few chosen people #another thing worth to remember is that bi han's father was a loyal to fire lord but it does not mean bi han's mother shared that dedicatio #or that her death did not open bi han's eyes on the relationship between liu kang and lin kuei #and there is something to think about that sindel has more to say about bi han's parents than liu kang

why am I getting so upset around the idea of favourite characters. Like Amane is my favorite character but recently I’ve been thinking about John a lot and his story and I don’t know why it feels like I’ve betrayed Amane sometimes I think is she really my favorite character? Like I know she definitely is but I don’t know what makes a favourite character and it feels especially weird having two comfort characters and a favourite out of them like picking between two children and sometimes it feels so weird when I think about another character more at times and I just feel really bad about myself

#Like I get really worried a lot by how mikoto is my most tagged character by a lot #I don’t even know how it got there I don’t even really remember talking about him so much #Maybe it’s because he’s everywhere in the fandom? Or he gets bought up a lot in context of John?#But I really feel like I’m betraying amane and then I just feel really really bad about myself #Maybe it’s because I don’t exactly see Amane get talked about enough in the fandom here apart from a few people #I can more easily talk about John because he’s discussed more from what I’ve seen #But I really haven’t seen many theories or psychological analysis on amane lately and maybe that’s what I need #I wanna talk to people about this #Like currently I’m trying to do some research into fawn response in order to understand mikoto better #And misanthropy for john #But I haven’t exactly seen that same sort of discussion for amane where I know what to look for

Honestly, Man-Bat would be such a horrifying creature to stumble across in Gotham? At 8'6, he is HUGE, strong enough to carry off a man in his claws while barely slowing down. He might lack the same intelligence he had as Kirk Langstrom but Man-Bat still has keen problem-solving intellect such as picking up an entire wooden desk and throwing it at Batman to hold him in place long enough for an easy bite to the throat. It's that uncanny area between what was once human vs. a hyperpredator making Man-Bat one of the most dangerous creatures to cross whether he's simply hungry enough or has developed a grudge against you for some reason. You can't outrun him and there aren't many places you can hide because not only can he fly, he's able to squeeze into places you yourself would be able to fit into.

#🦇 || musings #🦇 || headcanons #Sometimes he's a silly bat and sometimes he's nightmare fuel #Man-Bat definitely has those JP velociraptor vibes #Canny enough to figure out simple tasks like opening doors or consider alternative routes if something's blocking his path #You really can't hide either because his sense of hearing is so good #Easily strong enough to pick up the tiniest breath or beating of your heart #He doesn't need to see to be able to catch you!#Cuz there's that echolocation...#Yeah Man-Bat coming after you would NOT be fun #Your only hope of escape would be that he's distracted by easier prey stumbling along or Batman himself appears to save you #Man-Bat can and will hold grudges against people even if they upset him as Kirk #He REMEMBERS #Like Kirk's AWOL when Man-Bat is in control but Man-Bat can fall back on some latent memories to aid his actions #Hence why he didn't attack Francine when she stopped him from mauling Man-Bat he still remembered his wife and love for her #And vice versa when Francine became She-Bat #Ahhh I really must add Francine as a muse sometimes she would be great #Smart and sassy and even MORE dangerous when she's Man-Bat #Because female vampire bats are even bigger and more aggressive than the males :D
