You know Liu Kang must've had to do some DNA tinkering for the fire gene to show up because if he didn't, something like this would happen. I mean, if you are a cyromancers and your wife has no powers, aren't you gonna get pissed when the baby comes out spewing fire? He must've had to create something from scratch to give the gene merit so people are looking at Kuai crosseyed when the fire shows up otherwise this would happen.

Dad-Zero: I can't believe you cheated on me!

Mom-Zero: No I didn't!

Dad-Zero: Then why is Kuai breathing fire!? That child is not mine!

Little Bi-Han just looks confused in the corner as his parents are screaming at each other.

The thing is, MK1’s lore so far did not state that Bi-Han and Kuai Liang’s father was a cryomancer himself, nor what kind of element, if ever, had the mother, who too was an excellent fighter. All we know is that Lin Kuei practices cryomancy since Bi-Han’s ancestors settled Arctica and that presumably happened a long time ago.

Rain: How long has your clan practiced cryomancy? Sub-Zero: From the time my ancestors settled Arctika.

At the same time, we know Lin Kuei also specialized in different element(s) and pyromancy is their family guarded secret

Sindel: Your pyromancy is truly arcane. Scorpion: It is a closely kept family secret.

While Tomas was taught magic by clan’s Elder Arcanist

Ashrah: Who was it that taught you magic? Smoke: Xiaoqing, the Lin Kuei's Elder Arcanist.

So it is very possible that one of their parents was a pyromancer and the other a cryomancer or that a pyromancer (or person carrying pyromancer genes) married into the family in the previous generation(s) but their gene were dormant. Of course, Liu Kang is responsible for the change from ice to fire, but that doesn’t mean Kuai Liang is some unnatural occurrence as the clan is said to have ties to both elements. Also, there is a big chance that if there was no pyromancer in Kuai Liang and Bi-Han’s family, Sindel - as a person familiar with both of their parents - would point that out through intro dialogues. Instead she only praised Kuai Liang’s skills.

So I doubt the Grandmaster would have any reason to accuse his wife of cheating. Personally I think he was a pyromancer, and mother a cryomancer. What could explain why each brother connected stronger with a different parent, as I imagine sharing the same element makes it easier to bond.

I'm so sorry about the image quality. It's just how it came out.

I have no real explanation as to why I did this.

Viper has incredibly questionable taste in who she's attracted to. I think this is common knowledge at this point.

[icebluecyanide]

I will just say, I do think that changing Julia Rothman's motivations behind the plan to make it about personal revenge/make her a woman scorned and then having several male characters calling her too emotional for it is uh. certainly a choice :/

[brekkie-e]

So uhh.... what the heck happened internet? Did y'all really sleep on this queen?

Seriously though, how come this woman has not completely flooded my dash already???? I am flabbergasted. I am dismayed.

I seriously can not and will not get over her. The answer to my complaints about the rising "single dad figure rescues a kid" trope, and it's lack of female counterparts. A gaurdian figure to child-sized protagonists that not only adequately attempts to protect them from the violence they're up against, but also gives genuine parental smack downs. Who balances her well meaning criticism with genuine love and support?

I honestly do not think I have ever encountered a mentor figure in a narrative who has done the job even half as well as Sophia.

On top of that??? She's a freaking pirate queen. So legendary, they call her the Sea Scorpion! How cool is that?

I fully did not expect her to make it through the entirety of the game, but let me tell you I was thrilled that she got to live, and remains a part of Amicia's life. Im so happy they have a positive adult role model and protector.

sooooo much to say about tomshiv fight oh my god. holy fuck

Some extra information on my universe's Sinister Six members.

First post here

I'm tempted to do entire fics on them but- I need to stop before I start overwhelming myself and getting too excited.

Doctor Olivia Odell

Likes - She's always had a strange fascination with ballet, always adores any dances that include sea themes, or long flowy silk.

Dislikes - Any vehicles, cars, helicopters, even bicycles make her nervous and uncomfortable because she has no control. Olivia used to walk everywhere, now, her tentacle situation can help with that.

Favourite food - Fruits, specifically strawberries and blueberries, she loves salads because they can be so diverse with what foods are included.

Least favourite food - Anything spicy, she's always preferred colder foods, and so something hot in temperature let alone flavour is just not her thing.

How does she text? - Usually her texts have very good grammar, even in crisis, she doesn't text often and prefers to use emails in which they're very professional and well structured.

Nationality - English.

What does she think of her fellow Sinister Six members? -

I... Have mixed feelings on the Green Goblin, I believe that his obsession with perfecting... Whatever he was trying to do, was rather immature, and not well thought out, but, I can understand his need for scientific discovery.

Frederick? His connections are useful, and his dedication to his family is admirable, but it gets in the way. He has a soft spot for those younger than him, which, to be fair, is a lot of people.

Marlene is far too bright, my eyes sting just looking at her. She's also very young and unsure. Her powers, however? Now, that's interesting.

Miguel, much like Frederick, has family issues that are too distracting, but, at least he's much more willing to be a firm leader and get the job done.

Mysterio... What do I say about Mysterio?... He's... His illusions are definitely useful...

Norman Osborn

Likes - He likes shiny objects, anything that can spin, and screams. They're loud, they drown out the voices.

Dislikes - Those two boys... He can't remember how he knows them, but he knows it's painful to see them.

Favourite food - Steak.

Least favourite food - Anything with too much grease.

How does he text? - Doesn't bother to check for spelling errors, punctuation, or grammar, and he's barely coherent. Yet, he insists on texting the Sinister Six group chat regularly.

Nationality - American.

What does he think of his fellow Sinister Six members?

Pretty hair, like little tentacles.

Sand is irritating, all over my skin... He does it on purpose, I know it.

Bright, loud... Perfect to listen to... Not fun to talk to.

Too quiet... He reminds me of... Of...

Shiny, I like the helmet, it spins.

Frederick Miller

Likes - Playing dolls with his daughter, he can't afford much, but his wife passed down a dollhouse with some cute little wooden peg dolls that they play with after school.

Dislikes - Soft beds, he's always preferred a hard surface to sleep on, maybe that's why his back is so horrible.

Favourite food - He likes cereal. It's cheap, the most important meal of the day, they give you a lot of what you need, plus, you can add anything to it.

Least favourite food - Honestly? Anything with an expensive price tag, the cheaper, the better it tastes.

How does he text? - He can't actually write too well and so uses the speech to text feature, it makes his texts get misunderstood regularly.

Nationality - American.

What does he think of his fellow Sinister Six members?

Olivia is strange, she's not a bad co-worker but she's intense. I don't know if she likes me, and I don't know if I like her. At the end of the day, she's just another criminal I gotta work with.

Uh... That guy...? Green Goblin, was it? He's... He's definitely a... Uhm... Person...?

Marlene reminds me of my kid, they're bright, fun, and honestly? I feel bad for them, they shouldn't be in this business, at all, from what they've told me, it was a complete accident.

Miguel, he's strict, commanding, but that's until you share a beer with the guy. He's damaged, I feel for him. Although, that doesn't make me like waking up at five AM any more.

I don't like how Mysterio acts around Marlene. He's just... Weird... At least his technology is useful.

Marlene Diegel

Likes - Ballet and classical music, they're very important to the history of theatre and the entertainment industry in general.

Dislikes - Dull colours and costumes that aren't flashy, in their opinion, if you're going to be a villain you may as well dress the part.

Favourite food - Cake, the ones with heavy icing and cherries on top.

Least favourite food - Chicken, especially with bones in it.

How do they text? - Lots of emoticons and exclamation / quotation marks, she's never professional texting even when it's about a serious mission.

Nationality - German.

What do they think of their fellow Sinister Six members?

I wish I was as smart as Olivia, I admire her, really, but she's honestly not very fun to be around. She's quiet, and kinda boring, but at least her tentacles can hold stuff for me.

Green Goblin gives me the creeps, he's literally green, I thought he was some kind of alien at first. I can't imagine purposefully doing that to yourself.

Frederick is nice to me, I don't know why, but he feels like my dad, or my brother, or just my friend, even if we never get to sit down and talk much, I always enjoy when we do.

Miguel also reminds me of my dad, but how he actually was, and not the feeling of a dad. He's very strict and he kinda scares me sometimes, but he's not doing it in a bad way, or at least I don't think he is?

Mysterio's got a fish bowl for a head, I admire the flair, especially the cape, but it is a little ridiculous, and that's coming from somebody with lighting patterns all over their clothes. There's something about him though, I can't place my finger on it!

Miguel Dominguez

Likes - Taking videos and photos, he originally wanted to be a photographer before joining the army, and he's never managed to get back into the hobby professionally.

Dislikes - Watching sports, he despises how boring it is and how you aren't even doing anything while watching.

Favourite food - Pizza, specifically with jalapenos, barbeque sauce and pineapple, it adds a spicy kick and an interesting flavour combination, which boosts his energy.

Least favourite food - Spaghetti, it was his wife's favourite, even the smell makes him sick to his stomach.

How does he text? - He uses emojis a lot and isn't well versed in how people typically use them, so tends to come off as strange. Very good grammar, but occasionally he will sacrifice a bullet point or capital letter once and a while.

Nationality - Mexican.

What does he think of his fellow Sinister Six members?

Olivia's smart, she put this scorpion tail on me, but, I know what it looks like when someone is being told to do something. That's all I'm sharing.

Green Goblin's more like a pet than a human, why would a man reduce himself to such an animalistic state of mind is beyond me. At least he follows orders, I suppose.

Frederick is a good, hardworking, man. Despite how he acts at first, he is very family centered, and I feel as if we both have an understanding of our relationship as co-workers.

I don't think Marlene's cut out for this line of work.

I appreciate Mysterio and his illusions, the technology is impressive, and he's even added advancements to my tail on more than one occasion. But, he's a bit too... Eccentric, for our missions.

Quinlan Blanchfield

Likes - Baking, specifically after a long day of working behind the stage, the lights, the music, it all gives him a rush, and baking cools him down.

Dislikes - The colour blue, it's always just annoyed him, it's too soft.

Favourite food - Cokie dough, and cookies, but, he's working on trying to convince Olivia to help him find a way to safely consume cookie dough, so far she's uninterested.

Least favourite food - Anything that's salty, he never adds salt to his baking, no matter how much it'll improve it.

How does he text? - Uses words that any regular person would need a dictionary to decipher, he's never had a spelling error or incorrect grammar, yet he also uses emojis occasionally.

Nationality - French.

What does he think of his fellow Sinister Six members?

Olivia is impressive, her advancements are far beyond any others, and I'm not just saying that because her boss funds us and our living situations.

Green Goblin interests me, his state of mind, or lack thereof, his costume, everything is such a point of intrigue, I can't wait to learn more when he starts to regain his memories.

The sand guy? He's annoying, I'm starting to think he's spilling sand into my costume on purpose.

Marlene...? No comment.

Miguel is a great leader, he's strong, strict, everything about him is intense, I admire him, I really do, but his schedules and god, the diet? Don't get me started.

[livlovesspiders]

Round 3 of the Fit Check Time! (Also Happy birthday Steve Rogers) this time im gonna be looking at the other clones of Spidey that didn't quite have enough costumes for their own spotlight!

SPIDER FIT CHECK: THE CLONES

Spidercide: 7/10

While I do really like how big he is, the chest design is kindof half baked (which you could argue is the intent). I do like his more spikey eyes though, kindof like a combination of Peter and Ben's masks.

Scorpion: 9/10

Okay so the Ultimate Universe kindof shakes up the clone saga a little. But this Scorpion design is really cool, the hunch back connecting to the tail and 3 fingered gauntlets are really fun touches.

Tarantula: 10/10

Dude hell yes, The wide spider works really well here with each leg stretching onto one of his arms. Plus the diamonds scattered along the costumes are a neat aspect thats pretty unique to this spider.

Ultimate Spider-Woman: 12/10

Do i need to say anything here? The exposed hair, the Scarlet Spider eyes with her own symbol that wraps around the sides,continuing the trend of clones having fingerless gloves, total banger of a suit. Also Trans rights!

Ultimate Black Widow: 4/10

Normally I'm all for adding a jacket to a design but like...yall really thought that this was an improvement over Spider-Woman?

Reformed Spidercide: 8/10

Giving him webbing and his own symbol really helps give this costume some character. And hey its the first time we've seen underarm webwings on a clone!

Rek-Rap: 8/10

It goes for comic goofiness and it works pretty well, the symbols being reversed and the big ol grin is fun to me.
