I know he's not a phoenix (in my head he is) and all, but I remembered that in a comic they drew him with feathers, soooo I decided it would be cool to use that.
I am way to tired to make a full post about this that goes into my entire thought process and how this is actually going to happen vs whatever this rant is, but writing Wesker in my "RE1 but Wesker chooses STARS at the end over everything else" is just... adorable.
OOC? Abso-fucking-lutely, but adorable.
Like, you see Mr. Bond Villain over here? Mr. "I'm Gonna Tear Chris and Jill to Shreds the Next Time I See Them"?
He's hidden in his office for the whole day before because thunderstorms, as much as he loves them, tend to give him migraines, but he's too self-conscious to admit he needs more than a couple ibuprofen tablets and some time to himself. (What he needs is a dark, quiet room, a warm washcloth over his eyes, and a nest of pillows until the pain lets up. Maybe something sweet too so he isn't entirely hating his existence.)
STARS means more to him than anything else, and Barry had to help him calm down before waking up Alpha Team because he genuinely started panicking when he lost contact with Bravo Team.
When I get to this point: he'll be encouraging the hell out of Rebecca and giving her all the hugs she needs after Richard was killed because he sees himself in her when he was her age, and knows the pain of not having anyone to truly support you when you're going through hell.
I have a soft spot for writing assholes as not entirely assholes, and I think it's definitely showing tonight.
uhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah does anyone sense a pattern . . .
also, I wanna make this a fun game, ima nominate @cordeliya @criblovr @sleepystarryskies to do their fictional cgs!! (if they have any, no pressure <3)
i used this link down here for the middle text box!! go crazy :3
Brat Generator - Free Online Charli XCX Cover Maker
yayy ty for the tag!! :D 95% of the time my fictional cg is just nightwing and no one else, so i almost filled this with just pics of him, but i decided to add a few other people that i love to think abt the other 5% of the time too hehe
m tagging @redhood-agere @smallest-sunbeam (no pressure!!) or anyone else who wants to :]
Omg your so cool, I can’t believe you tagged me!! :O
I’m gonna tag @candy-kiddo, @thoughtfulzombienerd, and @littlemissplanky, no pressure to actually respond guys!! Just thought it’d be a bit fun :3
I’m not mutuals with @counting-sheeps-n-bunnies or @tinytimbits, but but it might be something fun I think you would enjoy! :D (No pressure ofc)
(Also, this is the one and ONLY time I will EVER be using real people in stuff. Unlike the others, I don't think the Hobbit has a comic I can pull a picture from.)
Hi!! I don't have many fictional cg's but I hope that's not a problem (I wanted to decorate a little but it didn't work out •-•)
and I decided to add Jonathan from Smallville because he reminds me a little of my dad :)
Unfortunately, I don't have any mutuals who practice or like agere, (at least as far as I know, but feel free to participate whoever wants) only the @starsurfacedc who tagged me (thank you very much! I loved participating)
Obviously you can write whatever you want, hell some of my favourite fics are fanon as fuck, but please stop tagging this shit as canon compliant.
Just read a fic where everything batman did to his kids was stated to have happened, and they don't talk about their effects at all, but when bruce learns that oliver punched roy after finding out he was on heroin he takes him in and adopts him, and kicks oliver out of the justice league. how do you reach that conclusion?????? YOU STATED IN THE FIC THAT BRUCE BEAT JASON INTO A COMA IN WHAT WORLD IS HE AN UPGRADE FROM OLIVER QUEEN?????
Batman is the most popular dc character, with good reason of course, but this makes it so most fans refuse to write him in a negative light. they'll see DECADES worth of shitty parenting and straight up emotional and physical abuse and explain it away as "oh the writers don't really understand batman" (which is 100% true), but then refuse to extend the same courtesy to other butchered characters, namely the al ghuls and and the queens.
Oliver punching roy was shitty, but you can't complain about it and then defend bruce when he sucker punched tim after selina left him. At least with oliver, you understand why he's freaking out, and he works HARD to fix it for years after. still abuse, still a piece of shit, but he genuinely puts in effort into changing and improving. He's canonically one of the better fathers in the dc universe, but this one instance of a poorly written scene in a poorly written comic has shaped the fandom's view on him permanently (also fuck rhato, only good thing about it was the introduction of the all caste but even that was done in a shitty way then wasn't brought up again). Bruce's just gets worse. At this rate, he might just cripple stephanie or smack duke around the next issue since lobotomy and comas are just acceptable now.
Also, roy is a grown ass man? with a child?? why would he ever need to be readopted when he's almost 30 by a man who wouldn't know emotional competence if it bit him in the ass? even if you have this happen pre lian, one of the reasons he started using heroin was jason's death, which happened when roy was in his 20s. he was there when dick left bruce and when bruce punched dick and blamed him for jason's death.
My stepmother has been obsessed with gourmet coffee lately, which has made me think a lot about coffee in general and well... I'm obsessed with the green lanterns again *cough* Guy *cough* so I found myself wondering what kind of coffee they would drink! which resulted in this!
John, he would probably drink a normal black coffee, since for me he was always the most reserved and serious of the group, he also always seems to be tired of the other lanterns' idiocy lol.
Kyle, I see him liking iced coffee (I've never had it, and it's also hard to find a place that sells it in my country) since I see most Americans teenagers like it, it seems to me to be something quite youthful and somewhat artistic? I can imagine him on a park bench drawing while drinking a nice cup of iced coffee.
Hal, I honestly don't see him drinking coffee in general? A beer? Definitely, hot chocolate? Only around children I imagine, tea? At night for sure. But in general I don't think he's a coffee person.
Now Guy, I like to think he has a sweet tooth and I imagine he's more of a latte type, he's probably grossed out by the idea of drinking black coffee.
Well that's it, maybe I'm wrong, but I just did it for fun. Feel free to comment with your own ideas, I'd love to hear them!
There's one thing that really annoys me when it comes to Quan Chi, and that's the fact that people, as soon as they hear his name, immediately associate him with Shang Tsung's accomplice/partner, treating him as if the character revolved around Shang, which is not the case. Quan Chi has his own story, goals and ideals. Of course I don't mind when they mention Shang in something about Quan Chi, I'm specifically talking about those who make him out to be just Shang's partner.
Sweaty. Sweats like a mf even when he isn't working. Has to wear undershirts to combat the waterfall coming off him.
Never struggled with anger issues until becoming a champion and getting the amulet.
Secretly a bit freaky. Is down for pretty much anything eye emoji
Reiko
Has a mild ED. Was worse when he was younger, but he's getting better about it. Used to hoard food. Struggles with body dysmorphia due to unrealistic expectations, comparing himself to Shao ( a completely different species...)
Allergic to cats.
Loves the ocean. Dreams of one day owning his own boat to take out sailing whenever he wants.
Kung Lao
Weirdly enough? Introvert. Raiden is one of very few people who doesn't deplete his social battery.
Struggles with bouts of depression. Self medicates with Marijuana.
He is incredibly secure in himself and none of his confidence is an act. That doesn't mean he can't get discouraged sometimes, but he won't try and hide disappointment behind false smiles.
MOAR BELOW vvvvv
Johnny Cage
Struggled with contamination OCD tendencies all his life and coped using substances. His lifestyle is in direct conflict with his illness and it acts like immersion therapy in a way.
Cancer runs in his family so he is vigilant about getting screened once a year.
Life in Hollywood almost crushed him into an apathetic cynic, but somehow, he has managed to stay hopeful if not a bit delusional at times. His hunger for recognition rivaled only by his boundless curiosity.
Smoke
He had a tongue ring for many years and wants to eventually get a tattoo but can't settle on a design.
Can "Slav Squat" and isn't shy about showing off to friends.
Struggles with unhealthy attachment styles.
Rain
Is actually an extrovert. He may think himself above others, but he still requires validation and gets sad if he doesn't get to talk to those close to him.
Iron deficient
If he had never been appointed as High Mage, he would have gone on to teach magic theory at the academy.
Geras
He may be immortal, but that doesn't mean he just sits in a room all day. Geras is endlessly curious, as this is a core part of his very being. Observing and learning new things is both his primary function and an endless font of joy.
He knows how lonely Liu Kang is. Knows that even he can't fill the void left in his masters heart. Time for him is just a function, whereas for Liu Kang, it is and endless road of isolation
Will search up humans in funny situations on the hourglass to watch. It's like his version of FAILARMY.
Liu Kang
Is and has been incredibly lonely for eons. He really thought he would fill the void after reuniting with his old friends, but the feeling isn't the same. They don't know him. Not really.
Once he found a way to connect to his Titan friends, he visits them often. Being able to talk with Lord Raiden again alleviated the strain on his heart tenfold. Reuniting with Kung Lao, (his boy, his bro!!) has also helped give him hope for the next few eons. Same goes for Kitana. (She was the one to find him again after the dust settled.)
His brother is alive in his timeline. Of course they have no relationship, Liu choosing not to intervene due to fears of drawing danger to him. Instead of becoming a shaolin monk, Chan lives happily in the united states as an Ice Road Trucker.
Shang Stung
Has BPD and narcissistic personality disorder. This severely impacted his ability to live peacefully in society and pushed him to grifting. Taking advantage of others was less exhausting than pretending to be a friendly employee to some shopkeeper.
He is half human. Shang's mother traveled to outworld during the last tournament 100 years ago. She was a servant to Liu Kang's champions but ended up running away with a disgraced Edenian.
Doesn't identify as a specific gender, especially after learning shapeshifting. Will often times swap between whatever he feels like that day.
Syzoth
Double jointed and hyper flexible. Shang Stung had to find a way to control him other than shackles, cuz he could always slip out no matter how tight they were.
He is very at ease around children, and falls back into dad mode immediately. Is also a purveyor of terrible dad jokes.
Has Gilberts Syndrome. His species use of bile/acid attacks puts a lot of strain on his liver. Due to his rough living, he didn't get adequate nutrition and now his body struggles to keep balanced out humors.
Only needs to eat once a week, but will happily snack if something tasty comes across his path.
Shao
Has no biological children. Despite his family's standing and pressure to continue the prestigious line, Shao has never taken a wife. Multiple concubines and bastards, but no wife or suitable heirs.
He doesn't view any of the young men and women he mentors as children, just tools. Even though he saw himself in young Reiko, his affection is entirely dependent on his loyalty. Reiko is more of an extension of himself, a way to overcompensate for what he lacks.
Has IBS.
Kuai Liang
He left the Lin Kuei a few years after Tomas was adopted. At odds with his father at the time, he left to go live with their allied clan: the Syrai Ryu. He was born a cryomancer like Bi Han, but chose to pursue pyromancy to distance himself from his lineage. Though able to wield fire, he is still weak to it. When he finally returned home, his father welcomes him back like the prodigal son he was. Bi han deeply, deeply resented this.
Got his tattoo in Hong Kong while he was totally plastered (not a reputable place. They even got the tattoo wrong lol)
Unreadable poker face. DO NOT play cards against this man.
Kenshi
Was forced to drop out of high school to support his family when his older brother was killed, and subsequently got wrapped up in yakuza shit. Has since taken his high school equivalency test (GED) and passed with flying colors
Is addicted to caffeine.
LOVES holidays! Especially Christmas. He may not get all his friends gifts, but the ones he does give are very well thought out and personal.
Bi Han
Doesn't take care of himself or maintain his appearance very well. But he basically won the genetic lottery so it's not that noticeable.
Has a type A personality and is a perfectionist. But he is actually a very gracious person at heart, and will silently shoulder the brunt of responsibility to spare his brothers.
Was happy to mentor Tomas when he first arrived, even though Kuai and Tomas had the stronger friendship. His attitude changed, however, when Tomas choose to stay after Kuai ran off. Instead of seeing the loyalty of Tomas's decision, he saw it as a shallow way to win his fathers favor.
(he couldn't see it was actually jealously. That Kuai could have a choice to leave but he didn't. Tomas had an actual valid reason to want to leave, but he is the one remaining? Bi Han has big feelings and does not process them well )
Quan Chi
Once he started losing his hair, he decided to go bald.
Much prefers to spend his time in the Netherrealm. His dominion there is near absolute, and he would much rather be in the company of those subservient to him. He doesn't see anything wrong with this dynamic, believing this the superior to mutual friendship. (this is laughably hypocritical given his relationship to Shang mf Tsung)
Indulges in all kinds of delicious foods. Sweets, fine drink, rare cuts of meat- the works. Even if he dislikes it, he will eat it anyway just for the sake of it. He made himself ill by eating an entire box of chocolate once.
Havik
Was born in secret to slave parents. They hid him from the government for as long as they could, and so he was able to live a relatively carefree childhood. Other's his age, and of unsanctioned birth, would be seized by the state and put to work as soon as possible.
Fierce passion aside, Havik is very introspective. When not fighting, he often sits in silent contemplation for hours at a time. Before his mind begins to degrade from the blood magic use, he would sit and scrutinize every action he took.
Unlike Quan Chi, Havik cannot bring himself to indulge in luxuries. He feels tremendous guilt given how many of his people are still unable to enjoy even the barest bit of comfort.
He leaves his dick and balls at home for safe keeping.
Unlike most people, I think Kuai Liang is more likely to like cute things (hiddenly, of course) than Tomas. He gives off this air of a fearless and serious ninja, but who secretly loves cute and soft things.
