#can anyone tell that i love the raiden family a lot

[elysiumarchieve]

Ohh! I have a request, but you may skip if you'd like!

But- what if the reader meets Raiden while going through a commission in Inazuma? (like she was strolling around the city) They're curious to know about his past so they ask questions (they only met Scara while he was still a harbinger) but Scara finds the reader and his mother getting along.

How about he react? 👀👀

Sorry it's so long! ❀

dw that's not long! and i really like the idea actually omg

meeting the raiden shogun by accident

warnings: mentions of scaramouche's past, mentions of ei's past, this is somewhat angsty??, scaramouche being scaramouche, 3.2 archon quest spoiler, traveler is a giant snitch

✧ scaramouche was already upset that he had to help with those stupid commissions

✧ not only was that absolutely below him, he didn't know why exactly he should help random people who could do most of their shit on their own and not ask the adventurer's guild for her help due to their incompetence (in fact, he was now forbidden to do any commissions involving people after he threatened to beat up that one author from the yae publishing house for wasting his time)

✧ thankfully, you were also there (as you also did most of the speaking, too), in the middle of inazuma city helping out ogura mio to find new patterns for her kimono designs, something that you decided would be a good choice to also let scaramouche help

✧ you still got baffled at how quickly he could put a nearly flawless facade, turning from that grumpy and snarky idiot to a well mannered gentleman in seconds when you approached ogura mio, who had already been waving at you

✧ helping her was fairly easy, with you handing her some of the cor lapis you had gathered just days ago that you didn't need (or rather, to prevent a certain handsome wansheng funeral parlor employee from finding you and explaining in detail at how hard it was to gather cor lapis properly)

✧ it was only when people erupted into gasps around you that you and scaramouche glanced over to the bridge leading to tenshukaku that your jaw almost dropped immediately - wasn't that the raiden shogun herself? in town?!

✧ you had seen her just once before, but that was when the traveler had been around as well. much to your surprise at that time, they even appeared to get along well with each other, what eventually lead to you also being greeted by the shogun personally

✧ from her sheer appearance, their similarities were almost uncanny - the hair color, their eyes,,, it was amazing how much he resembled her in terms of appearance

✧ back then, you already had many questions but didn't dare to ask them. you were well aware of how scaramouche was 'created' and that the shogun before you was just another puppet and not the actual shogun herself - but the way she talked was so different from how the shogun puppet spoke that it convinced you that she had also taken note of you

✧ in fact, when her purple eyes landed on you, your entire body shut down. was she deliberately looking for you?! why is she walking towards you??

✧ when you tried to nudge scaramouche's side you feel nothing and you almost panic. did he actually just ditch you the moment he sees his mother?! is he actually for real?! your head snaps around almost furiously trying to find out where your lover had gone within the blink of an eye

✧ ogura mio almost panics as much as you when the shogun halts before you, a hand on her chest as she greets you in a soft tone, causing you to meekly greet her back

✧ scaramouche didn't see this, already far away from where his creator and you were. he did not want to see her nor did he want to hold a conversation with her - he even doubted the possibility of the shogun even remembering him so why should he stay?

✧ he frowned at the thought. there was nothing he could talk about with her and he believed that she wouldn't want to talk to him either, considering she just abandoned him without giving him the possibility to just,, stay by her side

✧ she didn't even have the heart to kill him and free him from a life with no purpose, so what should he talk about with her? he'd probably only get angry at her either way, or atleast that's how he reasons his sudden disappearance when he already finds himself in the middle of nowhere

✧ you, on the other hand, were having a nice conversation with the shogun, or rather as she wanted to be called, ei, in the middle of tenshukaku. if you had any idea your day would've turned out like this, you might have changed your clothing to wear something formal

✧ ei had immediately noticed the person dressed in blue who disappeared the moment she laid eyes upon you behind a house, but she didn't mean to impose nor assume who it was - she might've even partially be aware of who it was guessing from how nervous you were at her appearance

✧ after what happened in sumeru, it was the traveler who came to tenshukaku and told her everything that had happened - about her puppet trying to become god, about how they defeated him and how he even received a vision while staying with the dendro archon

✧ of course, the traveler didn't leave you out and it almost shocked ei that she had met you before - just like you had many questions, so did she have a few things she wanted to talk about with you about kunikuzushi

✧ now that her views had changed as well, on her people and on the eternity she seeks, hearing that you and presumably him were in inazuma city, she didn't waste any time to try and have a conversation with you two so she could see the way he might've changed too (considering that he went absolute hamshit in sumeru, she was interested in what might've caused all of this)

✧ while you felt (obviously) intimated by the shogun, she immediately asked you to not talk to her as the shogun, but to her as ei, as a friend (which actually scared you even more)

✧ "how has he been? i heard that he was in a coma before you two set out."

✧ you tell her that he was,,, pretty okay but that he was still the same old scaramouche you knew. at that you can see her eyes soften - she didn't even know what he was like nor did she ever try to see for herself (she blamed her past self for being too self absorbed in her own grief and failed to ever get to know him)

✧ when you finally dare to ask why she created him in the first place, ei merely sighed. she knew that question would come and it was also natural for you to wonder about this if you were his lover

✧ so she tells you solemnly, about her sister makoto and her demise, about her grief and her desire to protect inazuma from the same fate that had befallen khaeri'ah by keeping everything the same - up to the point to which she was so scared of becoming her own enemy that she created puppets to rule in her stead, something in which she alread failed kunikuzushi the first time

✧ you are certain that the things she's telling you are not meant for your ears actually, telling you all about how she planned to store the gnosis in the puppets and that she was going to meditate endlessly inside her plane of euthymia to prevent herself from eroding (a concept that you, as a mortal, had only heard about in old forgotten tales)

✧ the conversation, though grim and rather depressing, brought to you new inside on how his creator acted and thought about him - and it almost made you even sadder that scaramouche had left the moment she appeared because this is actually a conversation these two should have with each other, not his 'mother' and you

✧ even though he wrecked havoc across sumeru, she tells you that she would never act out against him. she wanted him to live his own life and make his own experiences, set him free from the duty she did not want him to bear (and besides, she also made her fair share of mistakes that she felt terrible about)

✧ when you glance outside and see that the sun is setting, you almost panic that he might get mad at you for having been with the shogun for so long - although you feel like yo should rather get mad at him for running off like that)

✧ ei takes notice of your sudden worry and she just smiles. considering that he had ran away before she actually had a chance to talk him herself, he must probably already been waiting for you to come back

✧ you can tell that ei really wants to see him atleast once, but you tell her that the next time you two happen to be in inazuma city, you'd bring him with you so they can finally have the heart to heart talk they should've held already a long time ago - she thanks you (which made you incredibly nervous) and tells you that she'd come with you to take you back to inazuma city

✧ and in fact, he was in the middle of inazuma city and almost fuming over the fact that, according to ogura mio, the shogun herself invited you to take a walk through inazuma city before both of you just headed back to tenshukaku

✧ sitting on top of a random roof, he waits for any sign of you, until he finally catches a glimpse of you and,,, her

✧ his first instinct was to leave again, but then he sees the two of you and something in his chest hurts - he can see you smiling and giggling and even the shogun seems to be,, in an incredibly good mood herself

✧ no, he did not yearn to be part of this. he doesn't even want to be near her nor talk to the person who betrayed him right after his creation, but seeing you teo get along so well really pains him

✧ scaramouche sees the shogun handing you something and his hand subconsciously clutches onto the golden feather dangling from his vision - she was giving you the exact same one and placing it gently into your palm with a smile

✧ he wonders for a short time, did she hand him that feather the same way or did she leave it with him when he was already asleep? he couldn't remember it, but he remembers very strongly about what so many people had once said about it

✧ when you finally depart from her, he waits until the raiden shogun is far away enough from him before appearing sround the corner, almost scaring you as you had been too focused on your new accessory in your hand

✧ his arms are crossed and he asks you with a deadpan stare if you were having fun - when you answer yes, he's almost irked at how happy you appear (but he's also glad that everything went well)

✧ you notice rather quickly how he focuses on the golden feather in your hands and you grin, proudly declaring that the shogun gave you the same feather as him and you jokingly say she did it so you could have matching accessories - and he just stares at it with a look you cannot quite pin down (it's like he's trying to figure out whether or not she actually said that)

✧ "i think, next time we're here you should talk to her"

✧ at your suggestion he huffs. why should he do that? there is nothing that needs to be discussed between the two of them anymore

✧ "oh, and, she said she's very proud of you. she's glad you found your own way."

✧ he almost thought he didn't hear you correctly so he just stares at you wide eyed, but he catches himself and immediately turns away from you, an unreadable expression on his face

✧ "it's not like she contributed to any of it."

✧ you laugh at his stubbornness when he simply walks away, his hat pulled down into his face as you follow him with a big smile

✧ "this gold ornament is a proof of identity granted by the almighty shogun, a symbol of my, ei's, gratitude. thank you for keeping him safe. he should be proud about his growth."

Mortal kombat MK 1 roster general SFW relationship HC

Liu kang

A relationship with liu kang is a sweet one, he's the type who would never be afraid to hold your hand in public. Although before an established relationship, would get annoyed with "ooo you like them" comments from others, which yeah he likes you but also "shut up they're not my bf/gf" until he gets over himself and just goes "yeah and?"

Liu kang would give meaningful gifts, something he knows you would like but also use. But obsesses a little bit over it being your "favorite color"

If you're not "kombat ready" liu kang would at least want you to know how to defend yourself bc he knows he can't always be there to protect you (but by the elder gods he will always try anyways)

Johnny cage

Mr Hollywood himself takes absolute pride and joy in your relationship, Johnny may be a funny cocky man but he is 100% loyal to a fault and will go above and beyond for you. No price is too high for his sweetheart, the financial kind or the life risking kind. And contrary to what some might think, Johnny prefers more privacy between you two bc paparazzi is a bitch and a half, but also his love is something thats for you and nothing to prove to anyone else.

Johnny gives all the "klassic" romantic gifts, flowers, chocolates, teddy bears dressed up as scorpion. The amount of cheese this man gives off when it comes to love is astounding, but Johnny is just too charming to completely say "no" to when he's trying to woo you.

Despite the glamour and dramatic cinematic esque romance, Johnny would literally die for you no questions asked "Kombat ready" or not. But if you can kick some ass he wouldn't mind being "damsel in distress" for a moment even if it might hurt his pride a little (who knows, Johnny might find it kinda hot)

Raiden

Raiden's affection for you in private vs public is like night and day, but one thing no one can deny, you make him so much happier. He's more reserved in public but he's not going to deny you a kiss to the hand or a flirty, playful wink that's so quick you might miss it. But in private he's so much more relaxed around you, expect like, a lot of kisses and cuddling. Raiden might be a little touch starved, but even then he always asks for consent even if you already agreed to it before. He's also sassy as hell (raiden absolutely has personality and a sense of humor and just bc nrs forgot doesn't mean I did too)

Raiden is more of an "acts of service" type than a gift giver. But if he does give a gift it's either practical like clothing or maybe a little treat, or something very sentimental like a protective charm, something to give you peace of mind and to remind you he's always there for you even if not physically.

Raiden is definitely making sure you can handle yourself to some degree however capable you can be. If you are very willing to be "kombat ready" be prepared for some pretty intense training, but raiden is fair and won't push you unnecessarily anymore than you can handle

Scorpion/hanzo hasashi

Baby is so fucking protective of you its no joke, has the energy of a big looming dog if someone so much as look at you the wrong way. Very circumstantial with showing affection publicly, only comfortable when it's around people he knows wouldn't lay a finger on you. In private he is the biggest sweetheart, very very touchy and cuddly, and not afraid to show just how much he loves you and how much you mean everything to him.

Hanzo isn't much for gift giving, rather doing things for you more than anything. However he gives small but very thoughtful gifts, be it your favorite treat or a beautiful piece of jewelry that you once eyed like a week ago. He sees the little things that you like and takes note to give it to you, especially if it makes you smile, your smile gives him life.

Do i even need to tell you how devoted this man is? The man literally went through all manners of literal hell for his family before, the same applies to you. Only this time he will be better to not let rage blind him, should the worst happen. But by the elder gods whoever hurt you will pay dearly

Sub-zero/Bi-han

(Listen i know thats his noob-saibot form but i couldn't find a better gif of him)

Like hanzo, very devoted and passionate but less intense about it. It's cheesy as hell but you warm his heart, he might not like being overly affectionate with you on the account someone might "attack his soft spot" but regardless he still loves you no matter what, his actions will always say otherwise even if he's being "cold"

He's traditional with the gifts, flowers, hand written notes, and on rarer occasions he might give you a frozen treat. His letters however is where he can pour his heart out comfortably, where verbal words fail him, written poetry tells you just how soft you make him

Bi-han might be distant with you, at least to outsiders. But you know better, you know he'd do anything for you when it comes down to it. Perhaps even challenge his other loyalties if it comes to it

Sonya blade

Sonya is a bit awkward with affection, she's not the touchy feely type but she does love to sneak kisses when no one is looking or paying attention. She does love and care for you but she shows it a bit differently

Acts of service all the way, sonya would rather do something for you or with you. Not really the material type at all, but not to say she wouldn't give practical gifts like clothes or an item you would use often. However sonya would give you flowers on a very special occasion, sunflowers. Roses are usually the "klassic" but she thinks sunflowers are prettier anyways

Sonya cares so much she absolutely would die and kill for you. She'd probably also make sure you're "kombat ready" too, as much as you can as she knows she won't always be there to protect you, but by fuckin elder gods she'll try anyways

Kano

Kano is a stinky bastard, the obvious being said, it's no secret you're his soft spot. And kano makes sure to dial up the "big macho man tough guy" to 11, just to make sure no one even thinks about using you against him. Which may include kano being mean to you in public on purpose to keep up certain reputations. But in private? Like a whole new man, he's rough around the edges but he genuinely tries to be considerate. Super touchy and handsy, there's no inch of you he hasn't laid his hands on and thats not even in a raunchy way, he just likes holding you.

Kano is definitely the type to get you anything you want, but mostly gives you some nice (totally stolen black market) jewelry. You can have literally anything as long as you don't ask where kano got it (bc the answer is always something illegal probably)

Kano will never give you up without a fight and by elder gods he's gonna put up a fight because no one is gonna touch you except him. And perhaps fighting because of you he has some shred of honor. Although he wouldn't mind you defending yourself at all, hell that makes his life a lot easier

Shang tsung

Shang tsung isn't afraid to show affection, however in public it feels more like a display of "look at my pretty little toy" than something closer to a legit relationship, but that's only because shang knows better than to ever let anyone know the truth that you have his heart and soul. In private he is sensual, he's intense, passionate and all consuming. Shang is very vocal about showing his love to you in private and he will always remind you that not only your soul belongs to him, but his belongs to you. A rare gift you shouldn't take lightly.

Speaking of gifts, they are the most extravagant and expensive things. But shang pays attention, he knows exactly what you want when you want before you even know what it is that you want. Basically shang tsung's gifts are flawless and he will settle for nothing less.

Shang tsung may not seem like it to others (for obvious reasons) but he would quite literally raise hell if anything bad were to happen to you to a point he'd put his own ambitions on hold if it ment you'd be safe. Which is very significant for a man like him, consider yourself the most lucky (or unlucky depending on who you ask) person in the whole universe to ever had won his heart

Reptile/syzoth

Everyone is shocked to see syzoth take a lover, but for syzoth this is very much a big deal. Therefore he protects you fiercely, the one person to show him not only the respect he deserves, but also kindness. His race never truly had this sort of show of affection, they were lizard folk so they're detached from those sorts of bonds. However this doesn't mean syzoth can't feel love, he actually loves how warm you are. And as such will cuddle you to a point you might get annoyed bc good luck trying to get this big lizard off of you.

Food is a big gift you're gonna get, it's going to be a lot of raw meat so definitely tell him what you actually can and like to eat. Syzoth tries his best to give you things he thinks you'll like, so if you don't actually tell him what you like he'll give you shiny things and flowers (that are mostly weeds)

Syzoth absolutely defends you to the death and no one is gonna keep a limb if they dare hurt you. Although you might have to watch out bc syzoth might attack anyone else around even if they weren't involved in hurting you. You'll have to calm him down

Goro

Goro is the type to pick you up and go "look at my lover they are amazing" if the shokan prince takes a lover he's gonna show them off like a prize. But make no mistake he loves you and someone's gonna have to have some balls to disrespect you in front of goro.

Goro will make sure you have everything you ever need or want, although he's not much of the spoiling type, he might just make an exception if you bat your eyes at him and "put on your charm" so to speak. Depending on his mood goro might give you something no problem, but he might be either cheeky or moody and you'll probably have to literally fight him for that so, don't even try if you know you can't beat him in a fight.

It's a bad idea to hurt goro's beloved so rest assured that goro is gonna tear the limbs clean off whoever so much as dare threatens your life. And then proceed to beat them to death with their own limbs with one pair of arms, while holding you close with the other

Tje amount of men I see on this app making Arlecchino into their submissive waifu or whatever is genuinely baffling like PLEASE look at this woman and tell me she's not a lesbian. I'm SICK and TIRED 💔‼️‼️

Arlecchino kisses women end of discussion 🫶

you are literally so right 😔😔 nit only does she kiss women, she kisses ME. that woman looks like she makes the look of disappointment that your mom gives you in the store after yoh start actin up. like how can anyone look at her and go "heh.. yeah.. that's my little soft uwu waifu rught there 🤓!" like does she not kill people... is she not called insane by other harbingers.... like wdym "she definitely gives the best head!" if she were to give you head it'd be the decapitated head of your grandpa?? like im SICK and TIRED. of seeinv people mischaracterize EVERY SINGLE ONE of the female characters in ANY anime, game, or literally anything?? like raiden, even if she does pull a swordnout from her tits, i still think its pretty weird people call her booba sword like SHUT UPPPP your parents DONT love you AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!! like her lore is something i love considering how it is and the fact people ignore the fact the raiden ei hadn't seen the world jn over 500 years, so obviously everything is going to be different, so of course she'd be oblivious to the current world, they make her seem like some clueless waifu or some shit, and i hate the word waifu because of these people, like why not just say wife? do you have to say waifu? do you have to be weird? theres so many characters they always water down and i dont get why?

like eula, she's a genuine knight, she technically kills people, and she has a deep history with her familys past, so i just wished people would focus on what the characters good traits are, like not their boobs, ass, thighs, or basically all of that, j wish they could focus on how her childhood was and how it lead her to be the way she is now? people hate her because of her family

and shenhe too, she's actually really good lore wise. i think the fact the only thing holding her back from slaughtering someone are those red ropes is really cool, and the fact her dad treated her like that and how he thought she was curse or something, but NOOOOOO. FAN SERVICE. it ruins everything.

i could go on abt this and i WILL.

not only them, lisa too, the fact her vision is fake and she doesn't even get to live her full life is cool? like wtf?

CLORINIDE OR WTV. isnt she like a cop or smt idk but either way its crazy how she actually does a lot of near death shit and people still think she's not who she is

nit only is that an issue with women, its an issue with men too.

most of the time its ALWAYS. sterotypes, like big men, they get turned into these big, possessive, sex hungry dudes when in reality its fucking NEUVILLETTE. like no he wouldn't make you ride it till gr back breaks hed braid yr hair or some shit then go talk with melusines or wtv? same with wriothesley, hes a cool guy, he owns a prison and hes nice to the prisoners

i sound like a fucking nerd rn wtf

[azuredrg]

3. Tell me more about Raiden’s kids!!

the firstborn is Naomi (they/she), who later took the name Ivette when moving to Ishgard (i use the 2 names interchangeably)

Raiden was (unknowingly, whoops!) pregnant with them throughout shadowbringers. The reason he was able to take so much corrupted aether is because a majority of it went to Naomi (whoops!) she's why he's mostly (physically) unscathed from light corruption. They were born on the source though, like directly after returning. Because of the light corruption, they have a sin eater appearance and actually were altered to show traits of both of Raiden's partners since they were like Raidens pure love for them or however sin eater transformation works 🕊️ (i wanted a raifou baby but both of them r trans) DO NOT FRET! Like the first, the sources balanced aether had the corruption slowly leave them (not entirely. still a lot of long term/forever effects) actually now that i think about it its like how zero was born part voidsent.

personality wise, they're very frank. A biting edge to their words and usually, they don't notice that it's an issue. They have a one track mind & like, perfect memory. If u can't tell already they are so, incredibly autistic. They do not like any of their parents (changed name exclusively to not have the name given to them), instead living in Ishgard under house Borel with their godfather. They have recently learned they also hate high society and frigid temperatures.

& then there is the twins!!!!! Ruki (left, he/him) and Itsuki (right, he/she/they) right now im so-so on names because i know Raiden would want to give them hingan names, but since they're mostly raised in Thavnair would they have hannish names to fit in culturally...? i don't know! so i also use their names interchangeably until i have a better idea (ruki -> ravi, itsuki -> suraj)

they're 4 years younger than Naomi, and Ruki is 2 minutes older than Itsuki (this 2 minutes is constantly held over their head.) In the story timeline, I think I'd place their birth after 7.0 (maybe?) They were born raen with normal scale patterns, but ☝️ well nidhogg had one last laugh. raiden & estinien have leftover dragon aether from both being the azure dragoon so it manifested in this way (i wonder if naomi would share this fate if the light corruption hadn't gotten there first...) it was a very slow transformation, and it's still ongoing as u can tell from the golden scales!! Their natural hair at birth was closer to a blonde, which Ruki desperately tries to keep up, but it's now this forest green, like Itsuki.

Itsuki is kindof like a hare, very aware of her place in the world. They do not like being part dragon considering their parents are famous in history for killing Nidhogg, (see above about the whole nidhogg thing.) They're very timid and soft-spoken. They like learning about the Arcane and upon learning to summon carbuncle that is like his best friend now. She spends a lot of time with the alchemist of al kimya. only caster in the family.

Ruki is.. hmm... explosive, personality wise. Short-tempered, very no-nonsense. Soft spot for baby brother (by 2 minutes) He enjoys fashion and music, it is a big passion he holds that he doesn't like telling anyone about. unlike his twin, he doesn't gaf about being a dragon. and unlike his twin, he wants to be just like the legends of his parents. Can't stand being told to not do that or that he is too young or that, like, there's literally no wars happening can you stop wishing to go and die in battle. Very bull-headed that one....
