Snow Blind
[source info: IGN article ]
Kenshi is one of my faves and I have enjoyed the new takes on some of the MK characters in the Legends series - but my hackles are up and I'm not sure what I think right now.
In Mortal Kombat Legends: Snow Blind, Kano is hellbent on taking over Earthrealm, viciously attacking town after town with the aid of three cold-blooded Black Dragon mercenaries. Those who don’t submit are annihilated. One young man won’t bend the knee to Kano: Kenshi.
Option 1: Kano survived Shang Tsung's island (totally valid) and is back and kicking ass. Option 2: Shang Tsung is using Kano's form to do this. "taking over Earthrealm" seems a hell of a lot more like a Shang Tsung thing to me. Kano's wanted power and money but that phrasing is very Shang.
Cocky and undisciplined, Kenshi loses both his eyesight and his confidence after Kano and his clan attack him. Kenshi then comes under the tutelage of Kuai Liang, now retired and reluctant to train Kenshi – but also the only fighter powerful enough to challenge Kano.
Kuai Liang, now retired tells us this is set after Battle of the Realms. It smacks a lot of some of the old gossip/rumors that Battle of the Realms would involve Kuai Liang training some of the young Black Dragons. And to my despair, this also tells us that if we have a young Kuai Liang and a young Sonya and Johnny, if we have an old Kuai Liang...
My OT3 will not be. I'd fuckin' love a cameo of a happy and retired Sonya and Johnny to salve that pain - but I'm not sure how ages are going to work in this mess, with a retired Kuai Liang and a young Kenshi.
Along the way, Kenshi rediscovers the hope he had lost and a possible path to redemption … but will that be enough to stop Kano and save Earthrealm?
And this gives me a little more hope, because maybe we will get some Suchin?? I would LOVE to see Kenshi and Suchin, because all we know about her is she's a badass with a sword, and he loved her, and she's Takeda's mom, and we deserve more Suchin in our lives. (also how will Takeda and Jacqui hook up if we have this degree of major generational shenanigans? I really hope we have some timeline wiggles happening here).

Could you do some MK11 intros for Takeda vs Shang Tsung (I'm still a bit sad about what they did to poor Kenshi)?
Sure can do, Nonny-boo. I’m bleak about Kenshi as well and Ermac. T_T I bet Takeda would be very miffed about what happened to his beloved papa-san.
I’ll admit, I haven’t seen Shang Tsung’s intros, but I’ll just wing it (as I do three-quarters of the time):
*~*~*~*
Shang Tsung: You are Takahashi Kenshi’s whelp.Takeda: His whelp, and your punisher.Shang Tsung: You are merely my entertainment.
Takeda: You robbed my father of his sight.Shang Tsung: And his soul, let’s not forget that.Takeda: Now I’ve got two excuses to drop you on your old ass.
Shang Tsung: Kenshi or Jacqueline – whose soul would you save?Takeda: I’d give up my soul to save theirs.Shang Tsung: So now would be a good time to hand it over.
Takeda: I want my dad back.Shang Tsung: Just so that he can abandon you again?Takeda: Speaking of daddy issues, are you back in Shao Kahn’s bed yet?
Shang Tsung: Kenshi’s soul is here – he says “Hello.”Takeda: Really? I heard “Go to hell, old man.”Shang Tsung: Like his sight, I will relish taking your hearing.
Takeda: You killed Ermac, too?Shang Tsung: Kenshi’s playmate or soulmate – which was he? Takeda: You want dirt? Then eat crap.
Shang Tsung: Ah, the whippersnapper ...Takeda: You’re just Kronika’s Plan Z.Shang Tsung: Yet you were never part of Kenshi and Suchin’s plans.
Takeda: Your sorcery won’t see another timeline.Shang Tsung: You won’t either, nor will your father’s soul.Takeda: We’ll go down together, and we’re taking you with us!

BLOOD TIES - Prelude Meta

Years ago, a great war between realms brought the universe to the brink of destruction. In their most desperate hour, Earthrealm's champions rallied in strength and spirit—saving their world from the forces of evil. In the years that followed, there existed a peace between realms for the first time since the Mortal Kombat tournaments began. But peace did not last for long...
The story begins in the Himalayan wilderness with Kenshi Takahashi battling infamous Red Dragon member Hsu Hao and other Red Dragon members with Takeda Takahashi, his son. While Kenshi is quick to attempting to subdue his enemies in order for Takeda to escape, Kenshi incites by trespassing the Shirai Ryu Territory, which smoothly transitions forth Hanzo Hasashi’s abrupt intervention, which quickly disposes of Hsu Hao by a skewered kunai to his chest, with a flaming fist impaling the Red Dragon’s head.
Even in this brief fighting scene, it could be referenced that Kenshi and Hanzo has been close friends, who would reciprocally save each other’s lives, and acting not only on vengeance, but justice (but this parallel and ongoing concept when it involves Hanzo will come later on, repeatedly, in fact).
"Good is not nice, polite, well-mannered, self-righteous, or naive, though good characters may be some of these things."
Hanzo Hasashi may be a redeemed character who has gone through hell and back to experience growth and redemption, but he is a natural loner - a lone wolf throughout the franchise, ever since he lost his family, his clan, along with his life. His senses of duty may force him to perform heroic acts, but he does not consider chitchat or politeness to be parts of their obligations, lest someone really deserves it through mounted trust and reciprocation as it is extremely hard to downright trust anyone. Also, he may want to be an affable person, but Hanzo believes that being nice does not always get things done, and that doing good requires them to be harsh and cruel, particularly if he has to teach something. This may be an intermittent effect, applied only when necessary; to train Takeda, who wasn’t obviously handpicked by Hanzo himself, but taking care of him on Kenshi’s behalf.
Hanzo may be no longer an Anti-Hero, nor Vigilante Man, but he still harbors that significant dualism in a sense that he could be a genuinely friendly, sociable, caring person, always looking out for his friends and family and trying to do the right thing. It's just that this niceness doesn't extend to giving free passes to the truly vile and horrific among his enemies (Quan Chi in canon, Havik in the comics). They are the reason why the villain should Beware the Nice Ones, especially since Hanzo is not gonna wait to be angered or snap before the inevitable beatdown/killing begins. Hanzo will find them, will stop them and (if they're lucky) will kill them before they can hit that Berserk Button (where Hanzo fails, which will come later on with Hanzo vs. Havik fight).
The Shirai Ryu Temple is full of Shirai Ryu warriors who lost their families in the Netherrealm War, sole survivors like Hanzo Hasashi himself. It’s a jarring reminder of his death, and resurrection as Scorpion, as he would serve as the Enforcer of the Netherrealm on Quan Chi’s leash... With all things past him, as Kenshi Takahashi helped Hanzo to get him out of the darkness, Hanzo reciprocates the good deed upon them. Kenshi has his own vengeance as Kenshi was performing a deep covert cover mission to eradicate the Red Dragon’s cult leader, Daegon. When his cover was blown, his son living in Thailand was also blown and Suchin (Kenshi’s wife) was killed in gruesome matter before Kenshi could get there, but Suchin was smart enough to hide Takeda in the next town, to escape slaughter. Hanzo takes him in, as he sought revenge and find death. Takeda fears and resents Hanzo, because he is a wraith from hell. Kenshi, intimately knowing of Hanzo’s demons, tells his son that Hanzo conquered his own years ago. When Hanzo catches Takeda running away from the Shirai Ryu Compounds, he catches up to the boy and tells him.
“You are a survivor, Takeda, like me. But Shirai Ryu do not run. We fight.”
This philosophy, the strong, iron-willed Sasori Hanzo wears will be a continued ouroboros that will repeatedly return as the comics’ events continue. It will also become the catalyst in Takeda’s harbored strength as he grows from a weak boy to a formidable warrior.
Hanzo trains Takeda, as the young Takahashi battles Forrest Fox, who comes on top as he gets beaten over and over again. Years later, Takeda simply feints using his speed, instead of countering Fox when he attacks. Hanzo immediately calls Takeda out for playing around, even when he could have utilized his advantage to strike at first opportunity given. Hanzo does not hold back with his criticism, be imposing and charismatic when he needs to be, while also offering protection towards Takeda, as he assigns Fox to protect him.
"Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death."
Imposing, intimidating and austere, Hanzo Hasashi, at least before the events of MKX storyline still harbors the duality of his personality (Hanzo and Scorpion), Scorpion being that of vengeance, hatred and wrath, while Hanzo is his humanity and compassion. One of the worst things Hanzo’s enemies can ever do with him is to do something that gets him well and truly furious, because rage makes him close to being unbeatable despite him being a mortal being now. He will go into a frenzy and become stronger, faster, braver, more agile and more indestructible than he has ever been, and he will annihilate anyone who stands in his way. In Takeda’s training, Hanzo is most definitely harsher with him than any of the other handpicked ninjas, for Forrest Fox comments on “If you thought Hanzo was a harsh master before, wait until you meet the real Scorpion.” And Hanzo regards the Shirai Ryu as his blood and family - For Hanzo Hasashi is a Grandmaster, a commander cares deeply about their men and exhibits it constantly. A mentor to the officers (generals and ninjas) under them, Hanzo takes a deep personal interest in their welfare and try to keep them out of harm's way. Even those non-kombatants, who stay behind the front defense line (those that work in infirmary, women who take care of the ninjas, as being a traditional Japanese setting, there still are more women non-kombatants than their male counterparts) will be treated with utter respect and made to feel as valued as the ninjas on the front line.
Hanzo thinks of being abruptly interrupted by Raiden - unexpected and unwelcomed - as the Thunder God warned Hanzo of the Netherrealm Invasion damaging cosmic barriers that protect the Earth from realms beyond. A powerful demon from another realm broke through before Raiden could repair them. Hanzo comments that it is Raiden’s fault, and as he recalls his memory, comments to Takeda that if this demon shows up, warns that warriors don’t dance around it, but kill it before it kills him. Forrest Fox, corrupted with the Blood Code, massacres almost all of the Second Shirai Ryu and takes Takeda to Grandmaster Hasashi, who is in a mental entropy; a state produced by a psychedelic from Hanzo’s own poison collection, reliving old times to stroke the fire until vengeance consumes him. He struggled years to control his vengeful spirit, and now he’s lost yet another family, corrupted Fox waits for what Hanzo will become.

In his poison-induced delirium, Hanzo remembers the tragic, agonizing event, seemingly from a lifetime ago, Hanzo fights against Lin Kuei warriors, and comes across Harumi (Kana) and Satoshi (Jubei), who are solid frozen with Sub-Zero before him. That day, Hanzo has lost everything - his family, his clan - as he thinks himself becoming Scorpion, the hellfire never being able to burn him whole. Takeda refuses to kill Hanzo, and Fox calls on an occasion where Hanzo has been especially hard on him, considering Hanzo handpicked every fighter he trained, except Takeda, and calls him a runner, not a warrior. Hanzo gives into Scorpion’s persona, burning Fox in hellfire, then Takeda splits him in half, killing corrupted Fox as they burn the Shirai Ryu Compounds, and plans to visit Raiden, to have him beg for mercy.
Since Hellfire is often explicitly magical in nature, it may also have other affects or the way it does what it does is different from conventional fire. While normal fire might melt something with heat, Hellfire may just disintegrate it entirely, or even go against the annihilative nature of the fire itself, as it was shown with corrupted Forrest Fox under the Blood Code. Maybe whatever normal fire affected will be hot after but eventually the heat will die down but with Hellfire, the object may stay hot or even feel cold. More than that, when used on a living creature, Hellfire might not hurt it the same way as normal fire. Instead of burning the body, Hellfire may burn the soul and physical injuries are the result of a wounded spirit that may never heal. And this also goes along with how Hanzo faced his violence; immoral, thriving on hatred rather than love, not only it destroyed communal sense of his wholeness, it left his world in monologue, rather than dialogue.
Hellfire itself was a stark metaphor of his violence ending by defeating itself, Hanzo Hasashi’s own triad of body, mind and soul. For it had created bitterness in a sole survivor within him and brutality in destroying them as his cruel madness pulverized so many innocents.
At this point, Hanzo’s hatred towards Raiden is rampant; for he blames the Thunder God for giving him the Kamigodu Dagger, then having the Second Shirai Ryu massacred, to come close to losing almost everything, save for Takeda and his own life.
#✗ obsessive cathartic (headcanon)#hanzo hasashi#takeda takahashi#mortal kombat#✗ the ineffable testimony of spawned hellfire (scorpion)#✗ seeking reconciliation with his own humanity (iii)#(relationships; takeda)#(oof this took two days to write)#(it's all over the place but this will do)

The old/aging HC for Sub Zero,Kenshi,Takeda,and Johnny,please? (This is for the ask meme thing.)
Sure!
Kenshi
almost all his life, Kenshi spent on the road; he didn’t really have a place to call a home. He was working for Special Forces for years now and had his own scores with Shang Tsung and Red Dragons to settle down. He was a busy man with right priorities… or so he thought. The older he become, the more he regretted having so little time to enjoy life, so little occasion to tell people how much he cared about them.
Now, when old age catched him up, Kenshi settled down close to place where Takeda, Jacqui and their kid(s) lived. He didn’t want to live with them in the same house, it felt too much like intruding. So Kenshi decided to stay close enough to be there when they would need him to babysit or help with whatever stuff (or to protect them in case of danger, because you never can be sure when scums like Kano or Red Dragons will show up) but at the same time stays enough far away to let them enjoy their shared life in peace.
Kenshi did not know about Takeda’s existence for a years. He had never blame Suchin for that. He did not regret asking Hanzo to take care of boy, when he couldn’t do it properly himself. It was the best way to ensure Takeda’s safety. From the perspective of time, Kenshi was sure it was right decision. Yet the older he grew, the more time he spent with his grandchildren, the remorse hit him harder. He never had a chance to be father and he can’t stop wonder how different his life would be if he knew about Takeda from the start.
Sometimes he dreams about life with Suchin, with little Takeda and no quest for revenge. He tries to not think too much about it. Time can’t be changed after all.
Playing with grandchildren became the favorite pastime of old Kenshi.
Proud granpa ready to spoil his grandkids on every occassion. And kick everyone who wish harm to Kenshi’s family.
Takeda
Takeda’s telepathic abilities grew too quickly and suddenly; it took him years to take full control over them. Even now sometimes he feels overwhelmed when there is too many people around him. He gets headache too. So he tries to stay away from crowded spaces. Jacqui laughs that in old age he became asocial, just like Hanzo always was.
Takeda left Special Forces at some point and now takes care of Shirai Ryu clan full time. Over the years he took part in many dangerous missions in various realms. Now, when the old age catched him, he enjoys staying with his fellows ninja and teaching the younger warriors. There is something really great about passing his experiences and knowledge to the new generation.
He likes teaching more than fighting. He grew tired of the feeling of constant threat to Earthrealm. He does not want his kids to grow feeling the same, which is why he is willing to fight (and kill) again and again and again, if that will keep his students and family safe.
The more older he gets, the more he understand his father-in-law, Jax. Part of him is proud that his children embraced Shirai Ryu (and Special Forces) traditions. Part of him is scared as hell at the thought one day his kids may be sent on mission and never come back.
He loves Jacqui more and more with passing days. He can’t imagine life without her. They are together for many years now and looking at the life from perspective of time, joining Cage’s Team was the right decision. He found love there, and great friends. Even if Cassie and Jin are jerks at times, he loves this team of wonderful people.
He is a bit obsessed with NOT MAKING the same mistakes his father and Hanzo and Jax did while raising (or not) their kids. Of course, he is aware that a lot things that went wrong weren’t really their fault. It’s just… the older Takeda become, the more he wants to give his children a sense of family he and Jacqui not always had. Takeda makes sure he will never be the “absent father”.
Family always mattered to him, but when he was younger he was more focused at making master Hasashi proud than really bonding with him. And there was always some hesitation on Hanzo’s part, to treat him like his own child, even if he raised Takeda almost alone. Which is why Takeda spent as much time he can with his children. Not only to train them, but to be part of their life, to listen about their hobbies, to support in need and cheer in sorrow. He wanted to be a father a child can rely on, be proud of, be sure how much they meant to him. Jacqui approved, so he knew he is doing right thing.
Johnny
doesn’t change much - he still annoys everyone no matter how old he gets. Though his jokes may or may not become a bit more sarcastic over the years.
The one thing that changed in Johnny with age is not caring about other people’s opinions. When he was younger, it meant so much to him. To be praised, admired, seen as great actor and fighter. Now? It doesn’t matter, as long as his family is alright and happy. Critics don’t like his newest movie? Well, too bad because he couldn’t care even less anymore. Life is too short to worry what strangers think about him.
When he worked with Special Forces, he always tried to be diplomatic when Sonya get annoyed by some morons or bureaucratic nonsense, or during meetings with Outworld champions. Now? Oh, if he feel like someone is lying asshole, he is gonna tell that in the face of that person. He fought gods, demons, beasts and the worst scum ever, so there is little things to be afraid about. And Johnny is really tired of shitty politics these days.
Beside, it’s not like government can do much about that. As long as he will not spill the top secrets of secrets, that is.
No matter how much of time passed, Cage is always keep up with current trends. Newest movies? He watched them all, quite often with Cassie and the rest of Cage Team. The most popular cartoons? Seen them all too, with all the “grandchildren”. The slang used by kids and teens? Hell, most likely half of the words comes from him. The newest technology? Sweet stuff.
It doesn’t matter how old Johnny is, everytime he sees Reptile, he will try to hire him for a new movie. Reptile is not happy about that.
Johnny has a lot money - most of it he spent on charity and making sure young people get good education and so on. He doesn’t really need the money. What makes him truly happy is a chance to be with family and friends, with no threat and upcoming destruction of Earthrealm. Sounds like small thing, but after so many wars, that is what really matters to him. Safety & happiness of people he cares about. And if the money can buy that for others, so he will gave as much as he can. After so many wars and almost-destroyed moments people deserve happiness.
Sub-Zero
the older he is, the more asocial he becomes.
Of course, Sub-Zero is always the polite man with wise advices, but he does not seek other people’s company if it’s not absolutely necessary thing to do.
That of course does not keep people away from him. From time to time, someone shows in Lin Kuei Temple and ask for his assistance. He is not really interested in people’s troubles, but he listens, because that is right thing to do.
He does train people though. Many warrios seeks his guidance in hope to perfect their skills. Sub-Zero understand such desire and there is something warm clutching inside him everytime when his student makes progress, little by little gets stronger.
He trained Cassie and Jacqui and Takeda and Jin, but they all grown up now, with their own missions and family to worry about. They come sometimes, to visit him, to seek advice, even to spar. It’s hard to look at them sometimes. Look at those young yet hardened warriors that must fight in old wars of their fathers and mothers.
But all students must go their own way. He does not try to keep anyone close to him. He let them go, because that is right thing. Even if everytime it hurts the same. He can’t stop thinking about Frost. He misses their sparring, their arguing, the silent moments when they just sit together and watched the snow failing from the sky.
Frost is grown up, experienced warrior now. Busy with her new duties, new battles to fight. She doesn’t need him anymore, really.
He keep training day after day, even if his body aches, old injuries burns with pain. It’s better than dwelling on the past.
He misses his friends and family and clanmembers all dead now for years. So, so long dead he sometimes can’t recall their names, tone of their voices, the shape of face. Sometimes he thinks they are still there, living in the shadows of the Lin Kuei Temple, whispering to him their secreets.
Sometimes he thinks he can sense his brother lurking into shadows, checking on him, waiting. But Bi-Han never answered his calling, even if the haunted corridor felt cold like death.
Sub-Zero is not afraid of death. Maybe when he will die, his brother will finally answer him. But that will take some time though. He had duties to clan. Duties to Earthrealm. Bi-Han can wait a bit longer after all. He was dead for years.

I’m just gonna yell about this because this is something I really love.

Takeda didn’t trust Hanzo at first. He thought he was spectre from hell, even though Hanzo was freed from his revenant form years ago. He was scared of him, heck on the next page he actually tries to run away from him. He was (understandably, being 8 years old at the time) scared even though Hanzo wanted the best for him and took him into the Shirai Ryu. Takeda only saw him for who he was in the past, not the present (and it’s worth noting that Hanzo himself felt extreme guilt for his past actions, and was continuing to struggle with controling Scorpion.)


Years later, Fox massacres most of the Shirai Ryu and ties up Hanzo with his own kunai and poisons him, sending him into a state of delirium, where he relives his memories of the destruction of the old Shirai Ryu. Fox tries to convince Takeda to kill Hanzo, using Hanzo’s struggle against his (literal) inner demon to justify doing so. He tells Takeda that Scorpion is the REAL Hanzo, and that killing him would prevent the destructive actions of a monster. It calls back to the reason Takeda didn’t trust Hanzo all those years ago: the Scorpion side of him.
And Takeda refuses to kill Hanzo. In fact he attacks Fox for hurting him. Why? Because Takeda has spent years with Hanzo at this point. He’s gotten to know what Hanzo is actually like. He knows that Hanzo is not Scorpion. And heck, Hanzo has been the only parental figure for him ever since Suchin died and Kenshi screwed off somewhere. They’ve formed a close bond with each other, and it shows here.
This scene shows how much Takeda has grown and changed as a character, and it’s done in a very well written way. At first he didn’t like or trust Hanzo, and now he’s defending him when he’s weak and vulnerable.
Idk, I thought this was a great example of character development for Takeda.

Since chaos reign has released here is most of the things I want to see.
#10 Hanzo to finally be playable or atleast have a few scenes: since we have cyax and sektor have made an appearance I kind of now expect we will see kid hanzo. Even if he is playable I expect to see Hanzo atleast make a few scenes.
#9 Jade atleast get an appearance: Jade has been mentioned in mk-1 intros and I actually want to see more mention or atleast an appearance of Jade with kitana. I miss their friendship!!
#8 Cyrax joining the good guys: like the previous games it won't be a surprise once Cyrax learns why kuai left the lin kuei. It will be expected of cyrax to leave sektor and join the Shirai Ryu in hopes to redeem herself.
#7 Harumi, suchin: I hope that we atleast see appearances or them fighting for their loved once together and even a showcase of their skills. NRS have already jobbered suchin and harumi a lot. I hope they will get justice.
#6 one of the brothers is going to die and it can be either kuai liang or it can be bi-han: let's face it Bi-ham and kuai liangs relationship has always ended badly because of Fucking NRS!! So it's either they make one of them die. If kuai liang dies it will make way for hanzo to be Scorpion and gets on the path of revenge to kill bi-han. If bi-han dies it will not be at the hands of kuai but by someone else. Kuai liang will go on revenge to kill the person who killed bi-han.
#5 the order of light: I really want to see the order of light and more of sareena and ashrah. Hell I want to see more of sareena helping them out in the war against titan havik.
#4 outworld under mileenas rule: I am hoping to see the outworld under milleenas rule. I can see it would be a world where everyone is being treated equally including the tarkatans and the saurians being treated equally .
#3 Kuairumi: want to see more of this relationship in the future. I want to see how much of a badass warrior harumi is and her influence on kuai. I also want to see how kuai influenced harumi as well both are good for each other.
#2 Mileena might turn evil: I have a feeling NRS might try to make mileena evil and strain her relationship from kitana after all NRS hates good sibling relationships or any relationship in general.
This is why I want Jeremy to be the writer. He knows what the fans want and he gives.
Now here is my number 1 expectation

#1 Shinnok is definitely going to come back:
We have heard Many names in intros during mk-1 but there is one name that has not been mentioned at all. The name is Shinnok. Don't come at me saying Catrion wasn't also mentioned. Liu Kang clarified that the elder gods still existed but unlike Raiden , Liu Kang doesn't consult with them. You always know what NRS does. If a hero kills a threat like they killed off titan Shang taung to make room for titan havik. So they always kill a villain to leave room for a bigger villain. So what has shinnok been doing all this time in the netherrealm. Because netherrealm has been mentioned by ashrah and instead of Shinnok it was Quan chi. What if Shinnok is like a secret boss behind Quan chi pulling the strings of everyone and everything this whole time and will make an appearance sooner or later in the mk-1 universe. He is waiting for the perfect time to strike back and get his revenge on the elder gods and titan Liu Kang in order for the hour glass to be his and mend time to his favour.
Or maybe I have been exaggerating because I haven't gotten thar much sleep and haven't had coffee so. @laismoura-art , @mikka-minns , @theelderhazelnut , @charlotte-family-apologist , @angelbroad , @bloody-arty-myths tell me your theories.

Virginia: Day 2
DAVENFORTH: -Here they are, on the road. The trees wiz by as Takoda rolls them along. Davenforth is awake right now, watching the scenery and trying to figure out exactly what the fuck is going on while a cold fish cuddles and snoozes on while being covered in various warming apparel-
MAYOR: -chewing on a delicious seat-
HIGHBLOOD: =The warm smell of a hot, fresh banana cream pie slowly seeps from the back=
RILEY: -she awakens to the smell of banana cream pie, opening her eyes from a snoring and drooling deep sleep against derek. she sits up and tiredly looks around for the source-
HIGHBLOOD: =its him, or rather the pie on the little table he's got propped up over his lap. A bowl of sliced bananas next to it, he lays the slices gently on the whipped surface of the pie=

MAYOR: -all you SUCKERS can get hungry over pies if you want. It's not even green?-
HIGHBLOOD: =he might have green pies, who knows=
DAVENFORTH: -He really wouldn't recommend eating a juggalo party bus seat. Do you know what's been on these things?-
PENNY: -wakes up next to the mayor and groaaans. She is not feeling too hot right now. Also reaches over and tries to push the Mayor away from his seat eating.- dude no thats so gnarly.

QIRIN: =she was a teenager, once=
GAIZKA: =One does not simply stop being a teenager.=

GAIZKA: =Welcome to Clowntown. Have a rainbow robe. He drapes it around Takoda's shoulders while humming. Strategically sings out some of the lyrics lowkey.= (can't you see, you're my delight,) =Hum hum.= (just feel like, i won't get you, out of my mind.) =What's up here come dat thought and it's gay as hell.=

LIFERA: -And she's pretty prepared to throw herself into any oncoming frays, swords, bullets, etcetera. She doesn't really need to think much for that.-
GAIZKA: =Lowers his arm to wrap around her once she's snug like a bug in a rug.= AlLs them LiL ThOuGhTwAvEs done up and gone with themselves on the MoThErFuCkInG breeze. i feel you SiStEr.
DAVENFORTH: -Driving gives him time to focus, which for Dave maybe isn't the best thing but oh well. Earth was radically different since he last visited, and he still had no clue what was going on. Undoubtedly, Condy was behind the madness but...why split them up like this but leave them with means of communication? Was she that cocky? Taking a look at their fuel gauge, he figures they have a few more hours of travel time. He'll stop at the nearest gas station when he sees it.-
RILEY: - are you trying to focus Dave because get ready to be brocused. That pie she had is destroyed by now with no trace left. She plants herself in the seat nearest to the drivers- hey.

JODIE: -GLUG GLUG???-
QIRIN: =mainly she doesn't want her to choke=
RILEY: you can't get her to slow down.
RILEY: it's impossible.
JODIE: -drinks half the bottle and passes it on back-
JODIE: -fishes in her purse and reapplies lip balm- thanks bby.
QIRIN: It's quite all right, please keep it. =YOU MAY NEED IT LATER=
JODIE: oh sweet. after i drink it all i can pee in the bottle.
JODIE: save us time.
JODIE: -TOSSES IT IN HER PURSE-
QIRIN: =frog god help her=

DEREK: -eyes out the window-
DAVENFORTH: Alright kids its time for a rest
RILEY: i'm really fucking hungry. does this place have those rent a showers? not like i have any earth money on me. do they accept that anymore?
DAVENFORTH: -Shrugs-
QIRIN: What of trading?
RILEY: -blinks at qirin for a moment- oh. yeah! that.
DEREK: -stands up and stretches-
DAVENFORTH: Pretty sure they dont accept third borns
DAVENFORTH: Lets see if this place isnt abandoned first -Looks at Derek like you coming with?-
RILEY: -she's already walking out the bus-
DEREK: -HELL YEAH HE IS. nods at the brother and trots on after-
DAVENFORTH: -Hops off the bus-
DAVENFORTH: So if there aint anyone in there you think you remember how to do that thing behind the counter to get free gas
RILEY: -there better be some FOOD IN HERE-
DEREK: Sure I do. -ok hand- I got this.
RILEY: get us some fuel, baby.
DAVENFORTH: -Heads on in-
DAVENFORTH: Anybody home
RILEY: -curiously looks around. what's this place look like anyway-
QIRIN: Honestly. At the very least write an IOU.
DAVENFORTH: -It's much akin to a good sized seven eleven. Hot dog and pizza machine, aisles of snacks with the cooler section in the back with drinks. There's even a tv on the wall with the latest news. Everything is up and running but Davenforth notes it's quiet-
QIRIN: =what's on the telly?=
RILEY: -if there's no one in here she's gonna take some shit and run. she's checking some expiration dates on some chips to make sure-
DAVENFORTH: -Deez nuts-
DEREK: -peeks behind the counter casually. nobody's there, but maybe they're just in the bathroom or the back room or something. either way, he's hopping over the counter to do his thing.-
DAVENFORTH: -There's probably something on tv about policies the New dual juggalo presidents are going to be enacting. Boring stuff honestly. Oh yeah, Two juggalos won the presidency. Davenforth is trying to figure out how to make some tea for folks. Everyone is cold.-
RILEY: -she's stuffing her arms full of stuff like cheap hot dogs and sandwiches and donuts and a whole bunch of shit before just straight up slippin it in the sylladex. there's a bathroom and she's going to take this opportunity while it's here. tHERE sHE GOES-
DAVENFORTH: I can see why you married her
DEREK: -grins as he watches her go. she scurry.- Yeah... We used to get into all kinds of shit back in the way.
DAVENFORTH: Youre always getting into shit -He too, is stuffing his sylladex full of shit, non perishable food, water, Gatorade, microwavable burritos and pizza rolls...until he actually hears the named shaggy 2 dope and violent j. Now the tv has his full fucking attention-
RILEY: -busts out of the restrooms- okay, guys, i-- -she sees dave looking at the tv so she also is looking at the tv and not believing anything she's seeing right now-
QIRIN: =trying to ignore all this petty crime happening=
QIRIN: Can you believe it? =She's paritially asking herself that question=
DAVENFORTH: That would explain the rise of the juggalos
RILEY: -frowns- you sure this isn't one of those sketch comedy shows? or a mockumentary?
DAVENFORTH: Afraid not
DEREK: -furrows brows at the tv- Whats the point of fucking the planet over to this degree? Did all the Alternian imperialized planets get this kinda treatment?
RILEY: this is fucking ridiculous. how is this a thing? who made this a thing?

Random Shenanigans || @pxlariis (look who decided to chime in!) || always accepting
Before I begin even analyzing and elaborating about this, I have to admit this is such an excellent and deep question. I love questions like this.
His origin story states that;
Scorpion was born Hanzo Hasashi to the Shirai Ryu clan of ninjas and assassins. Hanzo's father was a former member of the Shirai Ryu and forbade his son from joining the clan, but Hanzo saw a way to give his own family comfortable life and so he joined against his father's wishes. Hanzo was trained and became a highly skilled killer for the clan and earned the nickname "Sasori" - Japanese for Scorpion. Scorpion had fought for the honor of the Grandmaster and the Shirai Ryu clan itself and was considered one of the clan's best by age 32.
Instead of Hanzo’s father being a former member of the Shirai Ryu, I divulged significantly from the canonical headcanon and made so that his father is a former Grandmaster (which Hanzo succeeded as, as soon as the Shirai Ryu’s extinction came about - as did his and his family’s slaughter - and ever since then, he had vowed to become the Grandmaster to reform and rebuild the clan back to its flourishment). And that Hanzo did not want to pursue in a warrior’s path from the beginning; he was rather an intense, considerably advanced and protean boy who excelled academically and wanted to pursue a scholar’s path. But both nature and nurture got the best of Hanzo Hasashi and the rest was history. His tenacity, stubbornness and passionate dedication has surpassed anyone’s expectations, and by when he was an adolescence, he would become the master of kunai and would develop his character-defining weapon, the chained kunai (it is his original creation and no one in Shirai Ryu handles it as expertly and swiftly as Hanzo can ever could. He would never divulge his secrets to anyone else, not even the fellow Shirai Ryu clansmen).
Knowing Hanzo being Japanese and having lived rather traditional style of living, we have to consider the fact that the Asian cultural definition of masculinity relies heavily on scholarship (academic study or achievement; learning of a high level) and not showing weakness, which translates into men showing less emotions. I speculate easily that Hanzo’s father would have been the same way; though he would have been dualistic between his family and non-family. The differences which comes off as unloving and uncaring is only founded on the undercurrent of struggle and sacrifice, which Hanzo’s father had burdened all on himself, without ever showing a hint of it to Hanzo’s mother and Hanzo.
I believe how Hanzo breaks that gender norm is unbelievable, especially regarding the context of the Mortal Kombat, which is heavily driven by misconceptions, loss, treacherous deceptions, greed and ambition for power, absolute dominance, immortality, violence and gore, etc. Not only Hanzo takes Takeda under his wings because Kenshi was too busy with his own endeavors of protecting his son from the Red Dragon, the crime syndicate that killed Suchin, Kenshi’s wife, but he literally becomes a sole parental figure through Takeda’s growth and mother hens him to protect him from any volatile situations and dangers, but offers knowledge and philosophy ot not only the Shirai Ryu, but his own. He does not back away from any danger, is extremely dedicated and passionate towards his set intent(s), never relinquishes nor gives up control - because he’s gone through that path so many times (beneath Quan Chi, beneath his own gullible conscious and hellbent on one-track mind without ever widening his perspective, etc.) and most importantly, treats anyone he loves and treasures with candor honesty and genuinity.
Even when it was not the most smoothest excursion, as there were doubts and mistrusts rampant (because Hanzo was Scorpion before), Takeda gradually begins to see Hanzo as so much more than a depressed man who is hellbent on destroying himself. And through that experience, Hanzo too, would regain the meaning of his own life and most likely sees Takeda as the surrogate Satoshi, as the immense longing towards his family would have been fulfilled through becoming a parental figure towards him.
For Hanzo, being a father doesn’t only mean providing steady source of income and the child’s family name; Hanzo is knowledgeable and astute enough to know that the nature and extent of father’s involvement depends on economic activities and cultural practices such as marriage and residential patterns, husband-wife proximity, cooperation and contribution to subsistence and level of material accumulation, as well as presence of other family members. Patterns evolve in adaptation to the ecological and historical roles and relationships within cultures. Depending upon the sociocultural context, fathers may be authoritarian, nurturing, caring, affectionate, and distant or completely detached. He always strives to be nurturing, caring, affectionate, yet stern and disciplinary when he needs to be.
Hanzo is entirely okay with the idea of having a child (or children) in the future with someone (he already has one with @heamatic‘s Cassie named Haruki). Though he may be guilt-ridden in the initial stage of the pregnancy (even getting into romantic/sexual relationship brings a deep sense of self-condemnation. But such dawning idea that he too 1) could be finally be happy, without ever forgetting what happened to Harumi and Satoshi, as such tragic, heart-wrenching experience would only solder and strengthen him throughout the romantic/sexual relationship and ultimately, being a father and husband to a newly-formed family and 2) hoping to leave his own legacy behind, as he would either see his offspring take over the role of the Grandmaster - though this isn’t a requirement. If his offspring wants to pursue a different path, Hanzo would never be unsupportive. He just prefers that he could be exemplary enough that it inspires them to follow his footpath - or at least to follow the warrior’s path, although he would be extremely protective and cautious, due to the events of his past, obviously.
Hanzo would see paternity itself as a natural path of his life; for his first marriage to Harumi has given him further growth and responsibilities and a further sense of accomplishment. He can never imagine his life without being a husband and a father, because 1) he’s very good at it (he may still come off as unapproachable, intimidating, and grumpy, but he’s exceptionally empathetic, kind, affectionate and passionate) and 2) through living as so many manifestations and having been through hell and back, going through this inevitable cycle of life only grounds him stronger and gives meaning to his life.
