[nevaryadl]

#21 of the headcanon for strykabal love your work

Just a heads up nothing graphic is mentioned (also TY! <3)

21.  Turn-ons? Turn-offs?

Stryker

Turn-ons:

Romance: He loves loves LOVES a romantic setting or just a deeply romantic feeling to intimate settings or getting the chance to do so.

He loves when Kabal just clings to him, holding onto him so close and so tight that it gets hard to move. His favorite is when he’s holding up Kabal and the man just octopuses around him, arms around Stryker’s neck and legs around Stryker’s waist and holding tight.

Oral. He gets RILED up when Kabal just lets him go to town on him. He loves getting lost in it too, taking his time to go hazy going down on his hubby.

Turn-offs:

Aggressive/roughness: Hates it, hates it, hates it. The bedroom is a nice and soft place for him.

Roleplay. Just seems weird to him, he wants to be him not someone else for a kick

Doggy/Any position where he can’t see Kabal’s face: Feels very distant and impersonal that way and he just can’t get into it

Kabal-Pre Burns

Turn-ons:

Shower Sexy Times: Just something about the combo of heat, water and then the kissing afterwards under the spray just makes Kabal fuzzy and eager to jump on the chance to do such.

Climbing Stryker like a tree: Him and Stryker are vers but damn does he love climbing the hubby like a tree. He just loves, loves the height difference between them.

Early morning: He loves slow and quiet intimacy best and early mornings are great for that

Turn-Offs

Aggressive/Roughness: Same as Stryker (and he was really grateful for that btw). He likes his intimacy soft and lovely and the bedroom is not for that.

Markings: Just sooo creepy/possessive in his opinion and it usually means that roughness was involved and again, not his jam.

Hair pulling: His scalp is sensitive so even a light tug can HURT. Thankfully Styker is not into rough shit so this has never come up.

Kabal-Post Burns

Turn-ons:

Clothed sex. Obvious reasons, he can focus on the pleasure and not his skin. He especially likes stealing Stryker’s hoodie to hide in, it smells like Stryker and big enough that he can bunch up inside of it.

Bath sex: He still likes the heat and water, but the added bonus of not seeing much of his skin if they dump a bunch of soap/bathbomb inside.

Turn-offs:

Too much focus on him/his skin: Obvious reasons, if there’s too much focus on him, especially his skin, its very easy for him to sink into a bad place mentally and quickly fall out of the mood.

Being completely naked: Same reasons, he just hates being exposed, he’d rather have something blocking some skin then nothing at all.

My ships: Jin x Takeda Jin x Erron Erron x Kotal Liu Kant x Kung Lao Hanson x Kuai Ermac x Erron Erron x Kabal Johnny x Erron Jade x Kotal Jade x Kitana What are your opinions on them?

jin x takeda: valid. i like jacqui x takeda as a good rare example of a well-handled straight romance, but jin x takeda would make sense and work well too, as well as pairing jin with an age-appropriate bf (important)

jin x erron: nah. not only do they have incompatible personalities, but erron is drastically older. i’ll pass 

erron x kotal: god i love erron x kotal and i hate that mk11 killed it (kind of, but you have to be really brave to ignore canon). i think it had a solid foundation in the mkx story and it’s something i always enjoyed seeing fan content for

liu x lao: no; they view and address each other as brothers, heavily indicated in their mkx dialogues and continued into mk11, so that’s way, way too close for comfort. besides, they both have raiden as a dad figure. so no 

hanzo x kuai: probably the most popular ship in this fandom, and one that i personally really enjoy (see also: my icon). it was the third ship that i really fell for when i was getting into fandom, and i will always have a soft spot for it, although i don’t make much content for it since so many others do 

ermac x erron: i have a good friend who ships it, and while i have no strong feelings on it one way or another, i’m inclined to lean in a positive direction about it. like nearly any mk ship, with some convincing writing and character development, it would work

erron x kabal: i guess this is a mk11-based thing, but i just don’t see it. however, i’m very much not into what mk11 did with any of the characters whatsoever. kabal x stryker is my ship of choice. in mk11′s context, though, i guess i can understand this one 

johnny x erron: first i’ve heard of this one, but i actually really like the idea, now that you mention it. i feel like their personalities would contrast in a very amusing way, especially since johnny would be throwing pop culture references at him all the time 

jade x kotal: i will never like this. it was forced, out-of-the-blue, and clumsily retconned. ironically, if they made it something that develops organically through the story (or if we truly get to see the reasons for it, or like, anything) i would warm up to it. as it is, i hate that they did it

jade x kitana: the writers tried to aggressively kill this ship throughout mk11 in every way (intro dialogues included), but i do not care, i will always like jade/kitana. it’s cute and feels like a natural extension of their friendship 

so there you go! thank you for the ask :) this was fun to answer, and really made me think 

[moorkas-deactivated20191005]

the one who makes his kold heart melt

[ribbonsart]

loving intimacy

[spilledginger]

some subscorp headcanons requested by an anon, which i accidentally deleted ^^’

- hanzo loves it when kuai gently touches his face. it never fails to make him completely melt for the other man

- hanzo wouldn’t admit it, but he’s a bit of a hopeless romantic, so any type of romance is appreciated (when done in private). he mostly loves it when kuai makes him tiny ice sculptures or ice hearts

- hand! holding! no seriously, these two love to hold hands

- kuai is pretty good at puns, especially temperature-themed ones. hanzo both loves and hates them.

- the puns also sometimes get slightly steamy pun definitely intended and kuai just smirks at his incredibly flustered boyfriend after making one

- hanzo sometimes ends up sleeping literally on top of kuai. like some type of heated weighted blanket. kuai thinks that it’s very endearing but he would like to breathe and that’s quite hard when there’s a fried beefcake on top of you

- hanzo also loves stealing kuai’s casual clothes, especially his sweaters and flannels (all gifted by johnny, who thought kuai would look good in them and he does). kuai had no idea where they went until he saw hanzo wearing a hoodie that looked suspiciously like the one he lost a week ago…

- lately they’ve been holding movie nights as dates. disney movie nights to be precise. takeda always made hanzo watch them with him and hanzo secretly loves them. he tries his best to not sing along but always fails

Shaiden A, B and F? (For the hc nsfw thing)

HEWWO

Let’s do this. (CW: nsfw mentions, hickies mentioned)

A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)

They’re quiet and snuggly. They like to bask in the afterglow of the act, take it all in and just relax. There’s a lot of sluggish kissing, where ever they can reach, generally the face, neck, shoulders and  collar. Usually it’s Shinnok that has to convince Raiden that they need to bath and not nap in their sweat soaked sheets, usually involves some playful roughousing on the way to the bathroom.

B = Body part (Their favourite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

Raiden is torn between Shinnok’s hands and legs. Both are elegant, long, pale and slender. He likes to think of them as works of art and loves to lavish attention to them with his lips, tongue, teeth and hands.

Shinnok adores Raiden’s chest. There’s strength but also some endearing softness there. He likes to pepper kisses and touches, but also hot licks and sharp nips and very rarely a hickie if Raiden begs for it hotly enough.

F = Favourite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual)

Any one where they can face each other really. They love looking at each other, gauging each other’s reactions, kissing. They adore positions where they’s smushed together and face to face, they love the skin to skin contact (both of them aching for touch).

[nevaryadl]

For the hc thing how about Shaiden J, K, O, and V?

Here we go~

Shaiden (Shinnok/Raiden)

CW: nsfw mentions

J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)

They both tend to vastly prefer simply having sex for release. But in the instances where the other is simply not in the mood or very much unable to be there, they both tend to be very standard when self pleasuring. Raiden does like to take his sweet time though and build up to his release and Shinnok has learned how to craft toys for his usage.

K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)

They both still learning very since neither of them were in any sort of steady relationship before this but so far Raiden has found a certain affection for overstimulation and being dominated. And Shinnok finds some lite electrostimulation is sometimes appreciated. 

O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)

Raiden very much loves giving more than receiving. He likes to please and he likes to do it often. He’s not masterful or anything but what he lacks in skill he makes up in enthusiasm and learning what his partner likes. Receiving he very much becomes a mess and often feels unfocused and mushy. Shinnok is very good with his mouth for simple technical know-how and very much blows Raiden away when he gives, but likes to follow Raiden’s want to give.

V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)

Boy can they both get loud. Usually they tend to be on the lower end of volume though, mostly grunting and groaning and opting to speak telepathically. But oh boy if they put their minds to it, they can make the other yell and holler.

Hotaru and Shujinko  (commissioned by: @animeftw10 ) ;w;

[animeftw10]

THIS IS AWESOME! :-D

I love the lighting, shading, and colors! I also love how you can tell they’re in Hotaru’s home just by the triangular headboard. It’s so Hotaru/Orderrealm. XD

Hotaru and Shujinko’s body language and facial expressions are wonderful! Hotaru is actually relaxed for once. Shujinko is clearly enjoying this, and I love how one of his hands is in Hotaru’s hair. The overall intimacy is lovely! :-D

If anyone’s interested in commissioning her, please do so! She’s great to work with, and her art is fantastic! :-D

[nevaryadl]

If you're still doing the NSFW thing: SubScorp G, M, S, Q, I

SALUTE MY FRIEND!

Subscorp (Sub-Zero)

(Both me and King are into headcanoning Scorpion as trans but nothing graphic is detailed here)

G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)

They tend to keep pretty neutral but Kuai Liang loves bringing in the goofiness from time to time. He loves to see Hanzo smile and laugh and there’s something so achingly sweet about Hanzo’s smile and laugh during sex, to see him open and happy during an intimate moment. So if Kuai Liang has to do that by cracking a silly fire/ice pun, he’s gonna crack a pun.

I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…)

ROMANTIC AS FUCK. Sweet pet names, tender touches and hand holding, breathing out praises and sweet little nothings, these men are extremely romantic in a lot of aspects of their relationships. But for sex they really are just fluffy old men in love.

M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)

THEIR LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER. But seriously, their intense love for one another has sparked a few extremely romantic sessions. Besides that they adore each other’s bodies, all the muscles and hair and strength and skill gets them going.

Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)

Not really into quickies, they love taking the time aside to make love and do it proper.

S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last…)

Both of them have rather average stamina, both can hit about two max. But they take time to make it damned good and deeply satisfying.

in which the cool dads of mortal kombat spend some quality time together, and johnny discovers some feelings he hadn't quite noticed before... 

(thanks to @yougotjohnnycaged who read this & inspired me to post it!) 

- - -

Johnny clenches his jaw, wincing in a pang of sympathy. “I should've tried earlier to spend more time together. I can't believe it took the world almost ending again for me to start really appreciating what I've got.”

“Hmm.” Kenshi leans against the countertop, observing Johnny as he loads a cooler full of food for the trip. He's unsure what it is, but Johnny's tastes in snacks aren't very exotic. “You consider me among what you've got?”

“Well- I mean- yeah. Kinda. I-- yes.”

“You do, or else you wouldn't have said it.” Kenshi smiles softly, genuinely. “Thank you. That actually means a lot.”

“Anytime, Ken-doll.” Johnny sends a flirtatious glance in his direction. “This is where the script would tell me to kiss you if you were a hot girl in an action movie.”

Kenshi raises an eyebrow. “Regrettably, I'm not.”

“Never mattered much-- aw, shit.” Johnny grabs his phone from his pocket, answering the ringing immediately. “Hi, Cass. Yeah, just for the weekend. You still got your backup key? Say hi to Mom for me. Bye, honey.”

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

after a long day, shinnok and raiden take some time to themselves in a bath to relax and talk about their past, present, and future - and where their romance might lead… (note: italics in the text are telepathic communication between them)

- - -

"Shinnok, you know I like you exactly as you are." Raiden lightly squeezes his upper arm, as if to prove it. "I promise."

"I don't doubt that one bit. I'm just teasing you." Shinnok carefully brushes some strands of wet silver hair out of Raiden's face. "Dearest… do you remember that conversation? ‘We have been here before.’ ‘This time will be different.’ ‘Not unless you are different.’"

"Yes, I remember that very well. I was wrong."

"Do you think so?" Shinnok pauses, taken aback. "I was about to say you were completely right."

"No. We both needed to be different. We have finally returned to our true selves." Lost in thought, Raiden gently traces Shinnok's hairline with delicate fingertips. "You have a very nice forehead."

"Thank you." Shinnok stifles a sudden grin. "What is it that the mortals say… Ah, yes. I'll put that on my resume. Skills: leadership ability, profound magical talents, nice forehead according to Raiden."
