I mean the dude has a fair point what's the fun of having brainwashed minions and not putting them in awesome outfits… it's not like they're going to care

FNAF Golden Freddy and Doey’s spirits could get along,,

Notice the difference between Kevin saying the "nice voices" vs when Doey was panicking saying the "gentle voices" it shows there's a difference between these two that are keeping him balance and Gracie

The "Gentle Voices" lie

The "Nice Voices" don't

I love this artwork it's perfect (just as haunting as the actual thing)

This pink-haired character Prem I believe their name is… is going to give me a mental breakdown

Disclaimer this is tongue and cheek as I am trying to make a joke but I'm only being half serious I went insane the first time they introduced this character and I'll explain why (I might end up repeating myself but that's how you know I'm stuck in an infinite loop with this)

(And yes yes I know this whole thing is supposed to be taken as a fun joke a light-hearted joke that's not meant to be thought about all that seriously but when they've only done this kind of thing once in the far past and never once hinted that they ever wanted to do this before it kind of makes it hard to stop thinking about it which makes me feel like I'm being driven insane)

Before I go to explain what I mean with this post I just want to make this very clear

If you still don't fully understand what I'm talking about here what I mean with this kid is I like the way that he's handled

he's very sweet

A kind-hearted person

Always willing to give others the benefit of the doubt

Definitely gives off the vibe of a person who's never really been bullied

Kind of like a golden retriever

And I actually like how he calls everyone prince and princess

There's also funny little moment in the subtitles where he calls out Adrian and Marinette ship name

However the thing that made me go absolutely crazy was the realization that this was the ONLY TIME miraculous had ever done something like this to introduce a character which would be fine if they did this kind of introduction with other characters

(You don't have to go all song and dance number like you do here but if you're going to introduce a character with this much personality do it with the others that we get introduced to)

Think about it when we first get introduced to Kagami, Marc, and Luka, we see them doing things that they're naturally good at music, fencing, writing, and that's perfectly fine it's the first time we've ever met these characters so of course they're going to be doing hobbies that they naturally enjoy

But this kid is different we see him in the background quite a few times throughout season 6 before he's properly given a name and when we see him there's no indication that he's like this which isn't a bad thing but when they suddenly burst out the song and dance it felt like it came out of nowhere with no preamble

On top of that the song and dance number is just one thing if it was him and maybe some of the others dancing just to support him it would have been fine but the fact that he managed to get the entire school to do this is another thing that drove me crazy because what kind of weird musical hypnosis is this! Everyone getting on the tables dancing and singing as if this was something they've done before and it's completely normal on top of that Nora (being the only adult and a boxer) in the room you would think would have issues with kids dancing on tables but nope

On top of all that there's one last thing about this little introduction that's going to drive me the most crazy.

On one hand I seriously hope that this was just a one-off joke for this character this is how they introduce him but at the same time if this is just a one-time thing then why did everyone behave as if this was something they've done before meaning that this would probably be a running joke but if this becomes a running joke then you have to explain where this even came from from the beginning

I know this might not make a lot of sense but it feels like I'm basically stuck in a paradox where I feel like I would go crazy if this continues to play out the show every time this kid is somehow important in some way, but if they stop doing it I feel like I'm going to go insane because it will never be addressed again and pretend like it never happened

Once again this is all just a post that's not supposed to be taken too seriously it's more me getting my thoughts out about this whole thing because it just came out of nowhere it's not like "Ever After High" where the characters take a brief moment to pause so they can introduce the character snippet with their own unique music and custom background to a company it no this is something they've only done for the Christmas special and never bring up again so you think it would only be in the realms of the specials so I feel like I'm going to go insane no matter what choice they do, not to mention the choreo and everything just looks so pre rehearsed it's as if this was something they had done before but not once throughout the show had we ever seen any of them show interest in this kind of stuff

Tell you what if there's anyone that's going to drive me to my Insanity breaking point with the show it's probably not going to be the Creator it's probably going to be this one scene alone as much as I love it it also makes me feel like I'm losing my mind

Guys, wake up, the Lin Kuei brothers are canonically dead in the main timeline.

I don't even know how this happened and if they put any thought at all into this game and the content they put out there, but I just discovered the biggest plot hole in the whole story.

Remember when the game wasn't released yet and everyone was freaking out about the Kuai Liang and Harumi wedding scene from the Scorpion invasions mode story that got leaked? People were arguing back and forth about whether or not invasions mode events were canon.

Short answer, they are.

Now someone answer me this:

"It is no surprise that the Zaterrans chose to infiltrate the Shirai Ryu. That they dispatched Scorpion is a tragedy. Defend our realm and his honor by finishing this pretender."

Liu Kang confirmed that Kuai Liang was killed by the Zaterrans. We can also see that in the intro cinematic.

Keep in mind, Kuai Liang is only Scorpion in this one timeline Liu Kang created. Geras told him so in an intro and since intros are also canon, where does that leave us?

"Smoke's imposter mastered the original's use of stealth and misdirection. That alone makes him a difficult antagonist. Now add Zaterran savagery? Reptilian cunning? No doubt, your skills will be tested."

Smoke is also dead. As is Bi-Han.

"This false Sub-Zero copied Bi-Han to perfection. Months passed before the Lin Kuei realized he was among them. They want this pretender dead, but he must be interrogated. Capture. Do not kill."

So who exactly is fighting in the story dlc? The Zaterran copies of the brothers? It makes absolutely no sense and it's disappointing how little they care about keeping the lore coherent.

Did Liu Kang resurrect the brothers? It's not shown in the ending cinematic and I doubt he would do it since he keeps insisting that he wants everyone in his timeline to choose their own path. It would also open up the question why he didn't resurrect Sindel or the brothers' father as it would solve the story's main conflicts. In conclusion, that can only mean they're dead and that's impossible given that there will be a whole story expansion.

As a side note, I dedicate this to that one person who made a whole post a few months ago, trying to lecture me on the accuracy of MK lore and how I was "twisting it" to fit my own narrative.

Is this your sacred lore that should never be questioned?

MK lore is literally twisting itself. It's full of contradictions and plot holes. Some of you take this game so seriously when it doesn't even take itself seriously.

[4aceclover]

If these invasion endings are Canon then that means… oh man I have so many things I want to say about vampire Tomas…and you pointing out that smoke was Sub-Zero's right hand makes me seriously excited to write stories about how those characters would have interacted with our main timelines group

Seriously I love the idea of cryomancer Sub-Zero and Scorpion questioning why smoke is still on Scorpion side before trying to help him realize the truth about what scorpion himself or maybe the invading scorpion (Hanzo) looking at Tomas as the father he wished he could have had and happy for his younger self that he's got a nicer guardian to take care of him

[evilbihan]

I will never understand how some people can look at Bi-Han and see some vile, evil bastard with no redeeming qualities.

All I see is a tragedy.

I invite you to take one good look at this character and tell me that he isn't tormented. His expression is one of suffering, not malice.

It's right there, written all across his face. Bitterness. Loneliness. Hatred. And underneath all that, the Lin Kuei pride that doomed him in every other timeline.

You can tell this man has lived a joyless life, that he doesn't know how to smile, how to show kindness, not because he doesn't want to, but because he never experienced kindness himself.

No one is just born that bitter and full of hatred. People don't become that way for no reason either.

Bi-Han was the eldest son and heir to the grandmaster title. Without a doubt, his father was strict with him and intended to "perfect" him, leaving little room for Bi-Han to develop a personality of his own. The Lin Kuei's ideals — probably his father's ideals too — were drilled into his mind — including the "Lin Kuei blood only" mindset he throws in Smoke's face and that people like to fault him for.

I don't think Bi-Han ever had a real childhood. I doubt that he got to make friends or play with his brothers and that's why he never really bonded with Tomas and Kuai Liang.

Aren't we slowly entering headcanon territory here?, you may ask. Maybe, but I'll try to stick as close as possible to the canon facts we know.

Bi-Han's poor social skills are pretty much proof that he's not used to a lot of human interaction. Between studies and training, which his father must have definitely expected him to excel at as the future grandmaster, he probably didn't have much time to enjoy any hobbies or socialize. His father's high expectations and the responsibilities that come with being the grandmaster's heir must have been a heavy burden on young Bi-Han. Maybe heavy enough to crush anything that was once good in his soul.

Bi-Han's mind was corrupted by ideals that were forced onto him by the Lin Kuei and fueled by his need for the recognition he apparently never got from his father. He's power hungry because he wants to prove himself. Yes, he is arrogant, but I think that he deals with a lot of self loathing deep down. Just think of how hostile he is towards himself in mirror match intros. It seems to me that only few people hate Bi-Han as much as he appears to hate himself.

It's canon that Bi-Han was never evil and born a good person as suggested in MK11 dialogue between Fujin and Noob. Kuai Liang's MK11 ending literally had Kuai Liang going back in time to find the root of the problem and figure out how his brother ended up corrupted.

Ashrah believes in Bi-Han's redemption. If he was truly evil, wouldn't her blade have detected that? Wouldn't Ashrah be trying to kill him as she seeks to eliminate all that is evil? Isn't Bi-Han expressing regret over Sindel's death proof enough that he feels empathy? That he isn't the cold and unfeeling monster the fandom sees him as?

Bi-Han became like this because of something that happened to him. Something made him like this and while we don't know for sure what it was, I have a feeling it has something to do with his father.

Let's not forget that in previous games both Sub-Zero brothers refused to even speak of their father. We know that according to the old game lore, Bi-Han and Kuai Liang were kidnapped by their own father and forced to become assassins for the Lin Kuei and we're suddenly supposed to believe their father is a good man who has never done anything wrong in this new timeline? Something about that doesn't sit right with me.

"But it's a reboot."

Yes, but the characters are still essentially the same. Scorpion is still vengeful, Kung Lao is still overly ambitious, Geras is still loyal to his creator. Why shouldn't the same thing apply to Bi-Han's and Kuai Liang's father?

"But everyone respected the previous grandmaster."

That may be true, but who do you think knew him better? Strangers like Liu Kang and Sindel or Bi-Han, his own son and heir who lived with him and grew up around him? Bi-Han's father represented the Lin Kuei. Would it seem so unlikely for a man in his position to put on a mask around people? Bi-Han's "Father was a man of many secrets." from the mirror match intro leaves a lot of room for the assumption that the old grandmaster was a very illusive man. I'm not saying that he was necessarily a bad person. Kuai Liang and Tomas obviously looked up to him, but it wouldn't surprise me if their father was very strict, especially towards Bi-Han as the eldest son. Being the future grandmaster, I'm sure that Bi-Han got to see a side of his father that his younger brothers didn't see.

As for Bi-Han's mother, I don't think she was innocent in all of this either. I think she was coddling Bi-Han as mothers often do, telling him he was special as the grandmaster's heir and deserving of respect from everyone around him. It explains why he's so confident that she would applaud his actions.

To be honest, Bi-Han is like one of those kids who grew up really sheltered and then go to college and experience independence for the first time. He tasted freedom once, it went to his head and now he's obsessed with the idea of freeing the Lin Kuei, even if it means burning all bridges with his allies and even his family.

Bi-Han is a tragic character.

Even with everyone against him, with multiple people wanting him dead, including his own brother, he still can't see the error of his ways. He's so blinded by his own ambition that he's willing to die for it. In his mind, he doesn't believe that he's done anything wrong and even if he were to regret his actions, I don't think his pride would allow him to ever admit that or try and make amends.

No matter in which timeline, Bi-Han is and always will be doomed. Even with no enemies to kill him, he will doom and destroy himself.

Is Bi-Han a good person? No. He's far from that actually, but he doesn't deserve it to be hated. He deserves sympathy.

[4aceclover]

This guy's voice acted by the same person who voice acted the Wind Hashira from Demon Slayer and both characters have a similar storys. Older brothers that continue to lose things that are very valuable to them with Rocky relationships with their brothers but deep down still love them despite their tough and terrifying nature

To say this guy is tragic is honestly one of the best ways to describe him self-loathing, tragic and very handsome while doing it it's honestly quite sad

(also it needs to be stated: Kuai Liang terribly about his brother even though we rarely know much about their past before the game)

[evilbihan]

Bi-Han doesn't hate Tomas

I've talked about the relationship between these two in other posts of mine before, but I think a proper analysis of it is long overdue, especially with the ridiculous misconceptions still going around in the fandom.

Of course, someone had to comment this on my post about Bi-Han being a good brother.

Please, allow me to prove you wrong.

Bi-Han respects Tomas. Proof? He selected Tomas for an incredibly important mission, one where the stakes couldn't possibly be any higher, and assigned him the task of preventing the activation of the soul stealers. He trusted Tomas to be capable of doing that all by himself. He let Tomas join Kuai Liang and him for the mission when he could have picked any other Lin Kuei instead. He could have chosen Cyrax or Sektor, his two most loyal Lin Kuei, but no, he specifically chose Tomas. Because he knows Tomas is a capable fighter and because Tomas is his brother.

Need more proof? For most of the story mode, Bi-Han is the ONLY ONE talking to Tomas and addressing him directly, while Liu Kang, Kuai Liang and everyone else treat Tomas as if he's invisible. They don't acknowledge his presence and don't speak to him until after Bi-Han joins Shang Tsung. When Bi-Han snaps at Tomas, Kuai Liang doesn't even bother defending him. He only shows that he "cares" once he needs Tomas on his side.

I've elaborated on this in detail in another post, so I won't repeat it all here, but when Bi-Han scolds Tomas, he's only doing so out of frustration because both his brothers keep comparing him to their father and refuse to acknowledge his authority. Bi-Han can't even utter one word of complaint without these two immediately bringing up the old grandmaster. He was furious and Tomas looks shocked and confused at Bi-Han's outburst. What that tells us is that he did not expect Bi-Han to talk to him like that because he never saw his brother act like this before. It proves that Bi-Han didn't put Tomas down on the regular like people always claim. The fandom reads too much into that one short scene and they don't even take the characters' body language or any other subtext into account.

When Tomas asks Bi-Han if they will always be enemies, Bi-Han tells him they will be enemies unless he submits. He doesn't seem opposed to accepting Tomas back into the Lin Kuei or to at least have a truce between them.

Tomas used to admire Bi-Han. He wouldn't have idolized or admired a person who mistreated him. When Tomas poses as the "leader" of the Lin Kuei during the tea house fight, he adopts Bi-Han's body language and expressions. That is how much Tomas looked up to Bi-Han.

Again, I mentioned this before, but Tomas was Bi-Han's second in command in the Sub-Zero invasions mode timeline. While there's no actual evidence for it, I've also had the theory that Tomas might be Bi-Han's second in command in the main timeline too, should the ribbons they both wear around their bicep indicate rank. If the most ruthless and actually evil version of Bi-Han, dark!Titan Sub-Zero who destroyed entire timelines because their inhabitants were not Lin Kuei, regarded Tomas, whose blood is not Lin Kuei, so highly, what makes people think the main timeline's Bi-Han doesn't respect him just as much?

And to answer the final question, no, there were not "multiple intros" saying that, there was just one and yes, Bi-Han was cold towards Tomas because his blood is not Lin Kuei and that's perfectly reasonable if you actually consider the context. The Lin Kuei live secluded and isolated from the rest of the world. Their existence is supposed to be a secret. Of course, they would be wary of any outsiders. Judging by how easily Tomas left the Lin Kuei, I doubt that he had any other friends within the clan aside from his brothers. They were probably all hesitant to trust him, including Bi-Han, whose duty it is to protect his clan. Tomas's family was murdererd by Lin Kuei warriors. Naturally, Bi-Han would be suspicious of his true intentions and worry that he could try to seek vengeance for their deaths one day. It doesn't mean that Bi-Han hated Tomas or didn't consider him a brother.

Whenever Tomas refers to Bi-Han's and Kuai Liang's parents as his parents, Bi-Han does not comment on it or correct him. He doesn't disagree or tells Tomas that they are not his parents. Tomas is a brother to Bi-Han or at the very least, he used to be before their falling out. Bi-Han never calls Tomas adopted, he only tells him that he is not Lin Kuei. Bi-Han was also worried about Tomas when he fell after Nitara attacked him. And again, no, he did NOT kick the rock to try and kill Tomas and here's the proof.

( @trixievrbada tagging you because I know you'll want to read this )

[4aceclover]

To me I also think it's important to remember that saying that his blood is not Lin Kuei is not saying that he's not their brother

Bi-han says and I quote "father may have taken you in, made you one of us but your blood will never be Lin Kuei"

Notice how when mentions blood relations he never brings up that it will never be part of their family just never be part of their clan that is completely different

To me it sounds like Bi-Han is trying to separate the Lin Kuei from his family as much as possible

Tomas's blood won't be part of their clan, but it is part of their family because by saying making you one of us he means he's made you our brother

He always viewed Tomas as his family just not part of the clan because he's trying to keep them as separate as possible which is a good thing it's easy to forget that these two things should not be one in the same, and based off the way Sub-Zero talks about his dad it sounds like that's a mistake his father made. Thinking that their family and clan were one in the same which is why he treated behind so badly he no longer saw him as a son just a grandmaster to be

Just more proof that out of all five of them Tomas seems to be the middle ground of the two brothers and the two cybernetic sisters

(I wonder if in the next game we're going to see him where his cybernetic ninja outfit or automatic version of them kind of like what we saw in the Cameo fighters of Sector and cyrax)

This is adorable tiny little kids

[evilbihan]

I don't know why Bi-Han is labeled the "mean brother" when Kuai Liang is the one who betrayed him both in the original timeline and the new era while Bi-Han has done nothing but make an effort to give them both a chance at a better future and better lives. First by entering the tournament and now by trying to give the Lin Kuei independece and freedom.

Watch the story mode again and pay attention to the hateful looks Kuai Liang keeps casting at Bi-Han in almost every chapter, even before Bi-Han does anything to even remotely deserve Kuai Liang's anger. It's ridiculously obvious.

Bi-Han has done nothing but put his own life at risk for only the chance of giving both his brother and himself freedom and peace. In the original timeline he was murdered innocently only for Kuai Liang to forgive his murderer and then turn around and blame Bi-Han for being turned into Noob against his will. He also faulted his own brother for things he himself has done while being with the original Lin Kuei, as if Bi-Han didn't have that life forced onto him too. They were both kidnapped after all.

Then people have the audacity to say Tomas has always been a better brother for Kuai Liang than Bi-Han. Here's a hot take: They're both too good for him. Kuai Liang doesn't deserve either of them.

In what world has Kuai Liang ever been a good brother? He's literally just an ungrateful little traitor. The victim blaming he put Bi-Han through was disgusting and only MK fans are twisted enough to believe Kuai Liang is the better brother.

Bi-Han would take a bullet for Kuai Liang and Kuai Liang would still complain that Bi-Han got blood on his shoes.

[4aceclover]

In my personal opinion about this I truly do think that while both brothers are decent Brothers to Tomas neither of them are good Brothers towards each other they both bicker and argue like their children

And in my personal opinion it conflicts with their virtues

Bi Hans is Power but he's always being depowered

Kaui Liang is honor but a lot of his actions are the exact opposite of that honor

(Un)Surprisingly Tomas virtue is loyalty and he stuck to it, he's loyal to his family that's where his loyalty lies regardless of what clan he's in

He has the best traits of both of his brothers and he sees the good in both of them but he's always being held back by them because he's always following those two the best way for him to improve as a character is for him to become his own Grand Master, or to defect from the Sarai Ryu and do his own thing be a ninja for both Earth realm and outworld

I've always thought that Tomas has been the perfect Middle ground between the two brothers and reading more of your posts just confirm that more and more for me

Dogday’s planet, Soleana, is a very arid and warm planet with beaches, their clothes are essentially meant to keep them fresh but also protecting them from the hot sun they worship.

Catnap’s planet, Lunaris, is a planet with many moons and in perpetual darkness, because of it, they often wear clothes made of cotton, meant to be comfortable and easy to sleep on, as you can see, the citizens of Lunaris are perpetually sleepy.

Hoppy’s planet, Relanpago, is a planet buzzing with electricity and life, however the citizens are naturally immune to the electrical currents of the planet.

Crafty’s planet, Prismascope, is a planet filled with colors, and because of it, it is natural for the citizen’s outfits to be darker, allowing embroideries, flowers, or other jewelries to really shine through.

Picky’s planet, Colheita, is a planet known for its boundless agriculture and culinary wonders, the leading planet in culinary cultures across the galaxies. They wear easily washable clothes as sometimes cooking can be messy.
