being in a self shipping community generally instead of like a selfship community for a specific fandom is really weird because we’re all talking about the same thing but we’re not. we could talking about our little fictional partners or whatever planning little double dates blah blah blah and then oomf could drop “well it’s sorta complicated after the time vortex” and its like time vortex? your man was in a time vortex? who put your man in a time vortex? is he. is he good or like
here's the domestic annikabal drabble. knowing that some powers in the mk universe are passed on (like the generational cryomancy) i was wondering what it would look like for these two. so i took the idea of twins from his tower ending and wrote this loll
words: 826 & no warnings
It was early in the morning in their industrial apartment. Annie had suddenly been working late patching up members of the Black Dragon after an arms deal went poorly. The mercenary had barely enough sleep as is, waiting for updates on what was going on back at work. So when the screaming cry of a baby had woken him up, he figured it was good of a time as any to start his day. The sun had barely peeked it's head up as Kabal was already on his second cup of coffee, aimlessly flipping through television channels in hopes to find a kids program on so early. He sunk into their couch with his legs crossed over the coffee table — a habit he was aware that Annie couldn't stand. One of the twins sat on his lap with their back against his chest.
“What about this one, huh?” He looks down to see her eyes wide at the show he settled on, pupils following the cartoon german shepherd on screen. Scarred and calloused fingers gently stroke her hair, smoothing out the thin messy bed head. He wants to scoff at the ridiculousness of a police dog fighting crime with friendship but bites his tongue.
“Daddy knows someone like that" he offers instead.
Morgan coos indifferently in response, reaching to grab her foot and chew on her toes, babbling different consonants as slobber spotted her pant legs. A faint smile creeps over his face at the sight.
“I don't know, dad. I think these piggies are more interesting than those pups.” He speaks for her in a high pitched tone. Tickling fingertips brush against her sides and she laughs loudly, a faint electrical hum sounding through the air as she does. Something Kabal took notice of but wasn't particularly concerned about. He continues their one sided conversation, complete with his bad impersonations until his phone would ring.
Kabal answers it on the first ring, asking how everything went before Annie could get a word in. His brows furrow listening to the full story of what went down. Kano's fault, no surprise there, but the concept of her being stuck in potential danger due to their boss' negligence angered him. It took some back and forth for him to calm down, mainly with the other expressing that they'd be on their way home quite soon. Kabal offhandedly mentions one of the babies is up and offers her to say hi. She hears a loud shuffling followed by a click of the speakerphone.
“You wanna talk to mama?”
His voice is muffled, probably fumbling with the phone while trying to balance a growing seven month old. Annika smiles, holding the phone closer to hear more from the other line.
“Hii, my baby.” She says. “Are you being good, Maggie?”
Morgan erupts into laughter at the sound of her parent's voice. The lights in the kitchen begin to flicker, Kabal's brows furrowing together as he glances over his shoulder. They were aware their building was pretty dated, but the family had lived there for years and never encountered any kind of wiring problem.
“You keep giving your daddy a hard time for me, okay?” Annie continues.
“Yeah? Like you don't do enough of that already.” He jokes.
Annie laughs on the other end, trying to make out a reply but only emitting vague scrambled words with laughter intermingled. That in turn makes Kabal laugh, then Morgan again who scream laughs with a smile so wide her cheeks close her eyes. She swats the air excitedly and suddenly the lightbulbs over the island bar pop and shatter one by one. Kabal's attention is drawn to the kitchen again and then back to Maggie who had wavering lines of static hovering between her fingers. His eyes widen but before he could process anything, Annika speaks up.
“Kabal?” She sounds panicked. Her stomach sunk hearing the noise over the phone. “What was that?”
“Uh,” He quickly grabs Morgan's tiny hands secure in his, trying to prevent any more superbaby outbursts. She doesn't seem to mind, only wiggling to turn her body back to Paw Patrol on the tv. “Nothing. We're watching a movie.”
"What?! What kind?” Her panic turned to frustration. “It sounded scary. You better be watching something age appropriate. Turn the volume down too! That was loud."
“Anymore requests, your royal majesty?”
“Knock it off! I'll be home in a few. I gotta hang up, okay?”
They exchange typical I love yous and goodbyes, Kabal holding his breath the whole time to not let up that something was going on. It seems to work with Annie left unfazed by the idea of him thinking he could get away with watching a scary film. Kabal turns to Morgan, slowly releasing his grasp. His hands hover over hers just in case and he watches her closely.
“Just because she tells you to give me a hard time doesn't mean you gotta listen.”
Please interact with this post if you are comfortable with other selfshippers who don't follow you reblogging your selfship content!
I know I personally see a lot of really great art and writing on my dashboard that's been reblogged by people I follow, but since I don't know who the OP of that content is, I always feel like I can't reblog it. But at the same time, I know how much it means to people when their content is shared around, and I feel like making this more of a thing that's okay to do would help people's content spread and get shared further!
i should write out something that kind of explains my self inserts and their lore but the TLDR is
- Annika is a black dragon medic. She actually worked with Sonya before but changed sides after Kano either promised to help find her missing sibling or The pay was better to aid her goal to find them. She got telekinesis after the black dragon illegally harvested jinsei to enhance themselves. <- This doesn't happen in canon I just decided it's MY story and I can do what I want. She has a little robot to aid her when patching people up (It's name is Medibot) and it doesn't like Kabal LOL
- Anastasia is a demi-god of animals with an avian motif since she's with Fujin. There isn't really any crazy lore for them, they've just both been together for like thousands of years.
- Julianne becomes Johnny's financial advisor, but not by choice. She actually finds him obnoxious at first but he shows up to her office with coffee and sends flowers, etc. Eventually she agrees to go on a date and they end up as a thing. Sometimes I imagine Kenshi with them and sometimes not lol
