I saw the headcanons of caregiver Raiden mk1 and regressor liu kang mk11 and I couldn't help but think about the possible amount of angst from caregiver mk11 raiden and regressor liu kang mk1.
I don't know why I like Liu Kang's angst so much 🤦🏻♀️
WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!?! (joking, not angry!!
It’s such a good idea, I love it <3 😭

CG Lord Raiden MK11 w/ Regressor Liu Kang MK1 Hcs
⛈️ I want to say that the moment he sees his old Lord Raiden, he kinda breaks down really badly, but I’m pretty sure we see Lord Raiden when we see Titan Kitana :|
🌟 So we’ll say the second moment he sees Lord Raiden he breaks down extremely badly 😎
⛈️ Especially if it’s universe crossing shenanigans, but aren’t world threatening!! (Which let’s pretend they are, for my sake)
🌟 But Lord Liu Kang, as much as he adores his new universe, will always long for his old one, at least the memories he has from then
⛈️ So to see his Dada again? After so long? It’s difficult to not drop, and drop hard into a small headspace
🌟 And I’m not talking about his usual 2-3! Nah, I’m talking like, 1 or younger!!
⛈️ And don’t let Lord Raiden fool you! He is also trying incredibly hard not to burst into tears! But right now, his main priority is his little Champion, just like it was long, long ago
🌟 Assuming they’re in Lord Liu Kang’s universe, he’ll quickly usher them to Liu Kang’s chambers, and find Liu Kang’s monkey stuffie!
⛈️ … He is highly surprised the poor thing survived this long. It does not look like it used to…
🌟 But Liu Kang won’t take Monkey Plushie, and Raiden doesn’t entire understand why? It was Monkey Plushie, Liu Kang’s favorite plushie, why wouldn’t he take it?
⛈️ Many things change, including stuffie choices
🌟 Sure, Liu Kang wants to smother it with love like he used to! He really does!! But Monkey Plushie is old, very old
⛈️ Dragon plushie is new! She’s soft and fluffy … And a gift from Liu Kang’s new Raiden.
🌟 Raiden is a bit saddened at the idea that Liu Kang ‘replaced’ him with himself as a caregiver, and the moment Liu Kang saw his face, he started crying again
⛈️ Because his new Raiden wasn’t his Raiden! Well, he was– But he wasn’t! He wasn’t Dada or Grandpa, he was Rai Rai! That was completely different!
🌟 He’ll let Liu Kang babble about his new plushie! How Fireball and Monkey are great friends! And how his new Raiden got him for him!
⛈️ Liu Kang showing off all his new friends to his old Caregiver! A newer Johnny, this time less annoying! A new Kenshi, he’s really nice!
🌟 Lord Raiden refuses to point out how similar Kung Lao is to their old Kung Lao
⛈️ Lord Raiden is a pretty decent CG, a bit strict sometimes, but normally very loving and knows how to read his Regressors well
🌟 So don’t think about how Liu Kang’s had millions of years to grow and now Lord Raiden has to relearn certain ques :)
⛈️ A specific whine? It used to be a hungry one, but nowadays Liu Kang uses it when he wants something specific
🌟 I like to imagine Lord Raiden has decently long hair. Maybe not Fujin long, but maybe about the movies length?
⛈️ And Lord Liu Kang’s hair? Decently long!! Definitely long enough to style 👀
🌟 New trigger is, specifically Lord Raiden, doing his hair all pretty :(
⛈️ … And maybe knocking Lord Raiden’s hat off his head once again >:)
🌟 Lord Liu Kang isn’t exactly a tablet regressor, but he does enjoy some things!! Certain tv shows, using Johnny’s stuff when he’s feeling small in public
⛈️ Lord Raiden is not amused, his little activities were so much better than some screen 🙄
🌟 To conclude, Regressor Liu Kang sitting in Lord Raiden’s lap during meditation, even though both know they shouldn’t, but after a long, long time apart, Lord Raiden can let some things slide

Ngl, I was always excited to write for this request.
Although I got so excited my mind kept blanking when I opened the Doc -_-
