'Normalize Morally Grey And Questionable Woman Characters!'

kung lao in the brain….

i actually have a big fat crush on him

the whole concept of mk1 liutana makes me WEEEEEEP like

liu’s created a better future for kitana. one where she can be happy. but he can’t be a part of that in the way he wants to. he just has to watch from afar and not at her side.

i’m going to cry over them sm when mk1 drops

How that one group of homies look like on presentation day when they procrastinated and didn't finish their PowerPoint on time.

I like this Tanya skin

Do you guys think that Liu Kang still has human moments every now and then?

I know he's been a god for eons, but he was a human first.

He doesn't need to sleep, but he will still climb into a bed, because he remembers that a bed means comfort and rest.

He doesn't need to eat, but will still consume food because he enjoys the taste. He also likes to eat socially with others.

And now that the Earthrealm champions has been assembled again, I feel like Liu Kang struggles not to talk to them and react to them as he would have done in the original timeline.

He tries not to roll his eyes at Johnny being his usual cocky self. Tries not to be too friendly with Kung Lao as he would have done when they were like brothers. He tries not to bow and show reverence to Raiden as he would when their roles were reversed.

He still has a slip up now and then though. He once elbowed Kung Lao playfully, to which Kung Lao gave him a baffled look. He has nearly called Raiden "Lord Raiden" a couple of times.

I just feel like, no matter how long Liu Kang is a god for, he will always have that bit of human in him.

and very, very often, self care is not plants and ice rollers and fluffy blankets of peace.

it’s standing over your kitchen sink and crying while doing the dishes because you just want to go back to bed but the dishes need done. and you don’t know why you’re crying but you're trusting you need it. and you aren’t listening to the music that pulls you into a spiral; you’re listening to some cheerful shit your friend sent you. it’s getting up and staring at your fridge and closing your eyes and then cooking yourself food even though you hate it and it’s miserable. because you know that you’d cook for your friend, and you are trying to befriend yourself. it’s dragging yourself into the shower because you know you’ll feel better afterwards. it’s doing mundane tasks with patience, cursing under your breath, trying desperately to give yourself grace. grace is the beginning of care. care is the beginning of love.

we think it’s supposed to be peace and yet the most powerful self care moments are when we hate everything but especially ourselves. and life does not feel worth the loving. to look into that pain and yet choose to care for yourself in however many pieces you are — that is care. love. grace. trust. belief. it hurts because it’s love where there was no love before. it heals because it believes there will be love, one day, soon.

Something I don’t think gets talked about enough in the x-men movies is how Erik, in first class had to learn to separate his powers and his emotions, learning to be in between rage and serenity. While Charles in DoFP had to learn to feel his pain to make him stronger and re master his powers.

While their powers are so different, the way they learn to be in complete control of them are reflections of each other. Just like their life experiences and how they were raised.

And for the record, I have no problem with analyzation of character bcs i do it too, infact i think it’s cool and fun. Idgaf abt his dad either, I’m just saying SOMEEEEEEEEEEE Bi-Han stans only bring him up when they think he MIGHTVE been a bad person. “Posting mindless hate”, girl boom🙄

Bi-Han stans are some of the most delusional and nonsensical MK stans I’ve ever seen. That, and most times the CONSTANTLY have to bring down other characters, especially Kuai Liang and Tomas(sometimes even their dad that we have not seen), to make him seem decent. I agree that his disapproval of Tomas dosent make him evil, but they be DRAGGING IT😭
