I'm legit curious, what are your Liu Kang/Sonya Blade headcanons?

Oh boy! I’ve been hoping someone would ask me this! Also angst.

Liu Kang fell for her first. Got a crush on her during their first Mortal Kombat tournament together, but never really approached her about.

Those two’s relationship is very much doomed by the universe (most of Liu Kang’s romantic interests are) and it just didn’t work out. Between everything that happened in the first 7 games they just never had much of a chance.

Sonya took a bit longer to be interested in him. More around the end of MK2.

Her feelings for him stayed through out the series, but she has to prioritize Earthrealm.

Liu Kang still got a crush on her during MK9 but was having to focus on the tournament so couldn’t get distracted.

Even as a time keeper he still has feelings for her. She fought with him, risked her life for him, and was one of his companions through the first tournament.

However this new Sonya isn’t his Sonya as much as he hates that. He can put her down the same path and give her the same fate, but he knows she’s not the same.

And he knows that she’ll more than likely end up in the same place. With Johnny. Where she belongs, even if he’d wished the universe had let it played out differently.

He’ll do what he needs to so she gets to be happy. Even if it’s not with him.

Still when he sees her he always remembers the little blonde Special Forces officer that walked into a martial arts tournament with no idea what she’d signed up for and all the confidence in the world.

I’m sorry if you came here for wholesome stuff and got hit with angst instead but I hope you like it.😭

alyx headcanons please 🤲🤲🤲

alyx!!! hc

she has the adhd to me so bad

shes pansexual

i think alyx for sure has dated a lot of diff types of people, based on how quickly she flirts with gordon i think she is a very flirtatious person but i do think she struggles to actually deepen those relationships because shes scared by becoming too attached to someone and then having them ripped away from her, and it probably has happen before.

she lovvvesss aliens and critters, if there's a way for her to befriend them she will find a way. she will tame a strider if possible

drives like maniac and it makes barney soooo nervous he hates when she drives because barney is an anxious backseat driver and Alyx is driving places no cars should ever be

her and eli absolutely play boardgames together, they play clue and eli always wins

she does graffiti all over city 17 and has made some pretty rocker murals

she loves drawing people, (valhoun crap she has a bunch of doodles of barney in her little sketch book that she did when he wasn't looking)

she listens to loud ass 90s punk music and her dad's old CDs while she tinkers with her robotics

for sure has some stick n poke tats

[tommy-coolatta-loves-soda]

I'm headcannoning Tommy as type one diabetic because I'm diabetic and he's one of my main kins.

He has the worst luck right now in my AU. He's an Immortal god with type one diabetes lmao.

[dead-lesbians]

Okay okay Forzen headcannon ramble time.

I like to think that Forzen is like kinda a Coomer clone but, not. Like coomers ex wife who worked in the military, stole dna or whatever from the Coomer clone experiment, and then the military mixed it with a bunch of other dna and made Forzen this fucked up military experiment that they could control and that explains the teleporting.

Me when I take a one time character and give them an entire backstory based on essentially nothing except what I remember from my last watching of hlvrai which was months back at this point.

[davifth]

started watching hlage from a twitter post

had an immediate hc thing i like to pretend is real

Random HL headcannons

Gordon loses his voice because he spent too much time on xen without the HEV helmet

Gordon does not feel any passage of time from being in stasis, but has nightmares of having tubes in his throat.

Gordon had an earring in college.

Gordon almost took an offer from Aperture.

Barney invited Gordon out to the Black Mesa base shooting range and taught him how to use a gun. Barney always had better aim.

Alyx offers to drive, but only when she thinks Gordon needs sleep.

Alyx has a collection of old Russian records she found in a barn.

The first time Alyx walked around in her sports bra, Gordon walked into a door frame.

Gordon has a beard by the end of HL2. He keeps it when they go to the Arctic to look for the Borealis.

Gordon keeps a notebook. Alyx reads it when she thinks no one's looking. Gordon is aware.

Things that I feel like would happen when you’re in a relationship with Simon Riley.

Simon Riley masterlist

1. First off he hates the word ‘boyfriend’.

Maybe it’s because he’s in his mid thirties or something but he can’t stand being called your boyfriend. He’s more than that but also not at the same time. You live together, have access to each other’s bank accounts (which is only because he hates it when you try to fight him about him giving you money), and you’re each others emergency contact. He thinks of himself as your husband. The man wears a silicone ring when he’s home and a necklace with the ring that’s totally not a wedding band when he’s working. Price has seen the chain once or twice and smirks, shooting him a knowing look but never says a word.

Simon cannot stand it when people get nosy and want to know what your relationship status is. You’re together and that’s all that matters. No one needs to know that you’re the beneficiary of his will and life insurance policy or that he’s put you on all of his accounts. No one needs to know that he buys you anything you want but has only ever bought you two rings; a thin gold band with a flower engraved on it and its twin a matching emerald ring. No one needs to know that when he gifted them to you, there were tears and promises of safety, love, and happiness whispered against feverish skin. No one needs to know that he has your name woven into his chest tattoo.

No one needs to know any of that because your relationship is between him and you only.

2. You are not some submissive little house wife. You are a strong independent woman and he prefers it that way.

I know this one goes against what most people say but hear me out on this. Simon has been independent since birth practically. He’s only had himself to count on for years. Even in the military, he’s only been able to rely himself. Sure the others watch out for him but if it came down to it, he’s the only one who’s going to get himself out alive.

The thought of someone else relying on him in that way is terrifying. He can’t even fathom what it would be like to look at another person and fully trust them in that way. Half the time he feels like he can’t even be trusted to take care of himself let alone another human. In theory a sweet docile housewife is great with the meals and clean house but not for him. He needs to know that you can hold your own. He needs to know that you can be independent and carry on without him if something happened while he was working. He needs to know that you will be okay if he doesn’t come back.

You have to be okay without him no matter how much it pains him to think about it.

Like I said before, he’s made you the beneficiary of everything so he knows you’ll be set financially but that’s not enough. He’s made Price promise to keep an eye out for you. He’s made you promise to let Price do that and you agreed because it’s Simon who’s asking but you’d tell anyone else to fuck off.

In addition to all of that, he’s installed the best security system the government has to offer in your house. You have a very expensive and large safe in your shared closet that he’s instructed you to only open if you feel unsafe. While you might not like it, you agree to go shooting with him so he can sleep at night knowing that you could protect yourself if he’s not home. He’s gone as far as to make sure you have all of the licenses and certificates that are needed to legally own firearms in the UK.

He’s not leaving any opportunity for you to be vulnerable or have your ‘safety checks’, as he calls them, taken away.

3. Simon Riley is a godless man…until he meets you.

Now this is entirely my own headcannon with no evidence to support it so bear with me.

Simon had a shitty childhood where his mom would pray to a god who never listened and his dad would shout verses at him when he was drunk. God was a mythical figure that he was told stories off with nothing to show for it. He did believe at one point but then his dad never got better, his mom wore bruises of every shade, and his brother found comfort in drugs.

He found himself praying when he was being tortured by the Mexican cartel. Between the flashbacks of his abusive past, he prayed to a god who had failed him so many times before to help him. He prayed again as he dug himself out of that Texas grave with the major’s jaw bone. He wailed his prayers when he found his family executed after Sparks tried to kill him.

After that he deemed himself a Godless man. Years of praying had passed with nothing. This god had decided that Simon was not worthy of a miracle so why would he continue to worship him?

That was until he met you. He finds himself praying before every mission, every time he has to leave you, every time he’s on his way home, and just about any other time he thinks of you. He doesn’t know what exactly he’s praying for other than for you to be there when he gets back.

He whispers his prayers to an absent god against your skin as he worships your body, soul, and heart. He promises to be devoted to you until his last breath and vows to find you again in whatever afterlife awaits you. He pledges to find solace in you and only you when his haunting nightmares return. He makes an oath to your heart that it will never weather another storm alone again for his will take whatever beating that comes your way. He shows you that he will love you in the same manner as a Hozier song; putting you above all else because you have become his religion, his faith, his beliefs, his life.

You have become all that he is and he thanks the god he once believed in for you. He prays again but to you, his heart, his love, and his beacon through the enteral storm of life.

Heyyyyyy!!! 🩷 headcannons for ex husband Nanami and choso who are still in love with you

Ex husband Nanami

A/N: Hello my lovelies!! I hope you’re all doing well and a late seasons greetings!

It’s something you should’ve known to be honest. Nanami Kento is a workaholic and it was bound to lead to the end of your marriage.

However, ex husband Nanami is different. His fixation and obsession is hidden under the disguise of a distinguished gentleman. He’s too kind, too sweet, it’s makes you constantly question yourself until you’re spiralling, and he knows it.

Respectful. That’s how the women in your life gush about him. He pays child support, and he also pays you a separate large sum of money just to spoil yourself with.

He adores his children. Picking them up single-handedly and presses kisses to their small faces, they giggle joyfully at their daddy’s affection. He half heartedly reminds them not to give mummy trouble.

He still refers to you with terms of endearment. ‘Dear, love, sweetheart’ are words you’re used to by now. Did he used to refer to you like that during your marriage? You’re so gaslighted you can’t even remember anymore.

Nanami is too good at making you feel like you made a mistake by divorcing him.

“So how’s that new boyfriend of yours?” he’ll ask at dinner, after he insisted that he wants to spend more time with the children.

“Um- well.. we’re not really taking things-“

“Oh dear.. another failed relationship?” He says with fake concern and you feel your ears getting hot in anger, making you miss the small smirk on his face. “I’m sure you’ll meet someone good eventually dear” he says so sickeningly sweet, it makes you want to cry in self pity.

“I don’t need your pity!” You eventually snap, pausing when you realise you seem erratic.

He sighs patronisingly. Before reaching his big hand out to caress your face. You pull away, even though you know you’re close to being putty in his hands.

“Oh love.. don’t be like that. I know you’re just sexually frustrated, do you want me to help you?” He asks.

And that’s how the cycle begins.

‘No’ you always stutter at first until he stands up and towers over you, caresses your face, pressing his thumb to your lips and then kisses the area of his thumb your lip touched, he lets you feel his bulge, he whispers how he’ll always be there for you along with other sweet nothings, he shushes you whenever you try to protest, harshly reminding you the children are asleep.

You always end up being fucked by your ex husband in your own bed. Screaming when his dick hits the perfect spot, after all who would know your sweet spots if not the man you were married to? You pull on his blonde strands as he moans so dirtily in your ear.

You always wake up the next morning asking why you did that to yourself but when you feel the strong muscular arms wrap around you, you suddenly don’t feel guilty.

Asks you about half life headcanons (Kliener and Barney specifically) 😄

bet random barney headcannons

italian, was born in new jersy, but i bet he had like a military family so moved around a few times, maybe to texas when he was younger which would explain the accent and then ended up in California when he was older

personally headcannon him with ocd. he for sure struggles a bit with Compulsions and some sensory things, which is why i always draw him wearing gloves cuz he doesn't always like getting stuff on his hands, and he for sure can get very anxious and easily angry when he's having a hard time.

was raised catholic but lost some of his faith after the war but he sorta just, gives off "slightly religious" sorta man vibes to me idk why

fucking loves football and will flip a table even when he's watching pre-recorded games he's seen 100 times

he loves talyor swift you can fucking fight me on this

and he's bisexual

rando Kleiner headcannons

gay man was closeted during black mesa and most of his life but came out after the combine invasion

for sure has the tism absolutely

i think he likes to write poetry in his free time, helps him relax

has a big ol crush on eli and at some point they start being more than friends, they slow dance together for sure

probably has a sketchbook filled with drawings of xen and alien life

i think he sees barney as sorta a son to him, since he knew him back at black mesa and then was reunited with him when barney was, either transferred to city 17 or whenever that was. Kleiner still sorta sees barney as that young awkward but sweet young man who worked as a security guard near his office and is just worried about him getting himself blowed up in battle.

also jewish

anyway yeah sorry for my basic ass headcannons

Being apart of the Todoroki family as the youngest sibling headcannons

Tw! Mention of abuse,

Gender neutral! Reader

Note: Reader has a water quirk cause it’s the closest thing to ice and fire

Platonic

Shoto

Pretty damn protective of you since your mom is gone and he doesn’t want you to be abused like he and his siblings were

He would’ve given anything to make sure you were safe

He was relieved to find out you didn’t have a fire and ice quirk like he did so that you wouldn’t have to go through the brutal training he did

He loves seeing your quirk in action

He’s distant from you but he cares a lot more than he shows

He had never once raised a hand to you

He’s awkward talking to you but he wants the good relationship with you that you both need

Natsuo

He manages to pull off protective and funny at the same time

Like Shoto he was pretty relieved that you didn’t have a quirk that Enji wanted

He freezes your water if your quirk gets out of control

He’s the one who takes up the relaxed guardian figure

He always shows up to your events

Once he has enough money, he wants to take you away from the house

Fuyumi

She’s basically your mom at this point since your’s is gone

She’s the most constant once in your life

Since she’s a teacher, she can help you with anything school related

She gives you all the love she has since you deserve it

She makes you and the others spend time together to at least try to make the family somewhat whole

Toya Dabi

He’s the type to have you do dumb shit to piss off Enji

He didn’t spend a lot of time with you when you were younger due to him leaving and becoming a villain

So he remains in the shadows, just watching “Endeavor’s spare” child

He was pretty amazed that you got a mix of both quirks instead of half and half

He occasionally visits as ‘The emo man’ as you call him

He thinks that you would be a good villain but he doesn’t want that life for you

Can I get a Neuvillette + Zhongli (Seperate) Headcannons With The Reader Knowing Their Husband Is A Dragon?

anon :<

uhh tbh idk what kind of hcs this is looking for bc the way im reading this is. wanting for reader to be characterised bc i think both of them wouldnt really change much from the reveal if everything is a okay

Zhongli was nervous of course when he first revealed his true form to you. He had no idea how you'd respond but hoped that you would be fine with it. He has no reason to think that it would be problematic for you but he still can't help but feel nervous.

Thankfully, the reveal goes over smoothly. You're curious of course, asking him about his body and what other things might be different for him but after that life carries on as normal. He's simply more comfortable to do partial shifts around you if his body feels the need to, using it as another way to relax. You're always respectful of his body so sometimes he'll rest against you in a more reptilian manner, tail curling around your waist as he holds you.

Neuvillette was half considering not telling you at all. He didn't know if you needed to know as he would most likely outlive you easily and your lifespan would pass by quickly for him. It wouldn't be difficult for him to hide it from you. But, on the other hand, he wanted you to know that he trusts you.

Much like Zhongli the reveal isn't a big deal to you. Of course you're fascinated and he answers any questions you have. When he tells you about his emotional state affecting the weather he notices you pay very close attention to the clouds, wanting to make sure that you can combat any negative feelings he may have.

Theo Nott Headcannons!! *.•

*.-{{ellsarchive}}-.*

Rebelogs are appreciated <3!!

Either sleeps for at least half of the day or never sleeps at all. This man has never had a normal nights sleep.

—> once, the Slytherins won the house cup. I kid you not when I tell you he didn’t sleep for two days and then slept for 20 hours straight.

Has never been angry in English

—> stubs his toe? Italian. Betrayed? Italian. Someone acting up? ITALIAN.

His arm WILL be around you at all times times whether you like it or not. Whether that’s an arm around your shoulders as you walk through the halls, a hand on your waist when you sit together, or arms wrapped around you as you sleep, is for you to find out.

Actually very loyal when in a relationship, but if he’s hung up on you whilst single he’s the most promiscuous man known to the wizarding world. It’s one of few distractions, in his eyes.

Speaks to you in Italian, saying the words he can’t bring himself to tell you in a way you’ll understand (assuming you don’t speak the language).

He knew he was in love when he found himself scribbling words on to a paper, his quill seeming to know nothing but your name and the way his soul screams it.

—> he’s never considered himself much of a writer. He took up the hobby after falling for you.

His mother taught him to play the piano as a child.

I wouldn’t say he “didn’t believe in love” before you, moreso he wasn’t sure if it was made for him. If he was meant for it. You made him feel so wrong.

Struggles with depression, it gets especially worse when his dad reaches out more.

He cried in the washroom when you took him to meet your parents.

—> your dad loved you despite you taking different paths than him, and your mother is still there. There’s nothing more to ask for. ‘Maybe that’s why he turned out him and you turned out you.’

—> Not long after, he received another letter from his father, and found himself crying into your arms for hours. He couldn’t even explain why, but you didn’t ask. You just held him. In that moment, he was sure his mother had brought you to him.

Offers you a smoke whenever he lights one, but not necessarily because he wants you to take it. He just feels wrong if he’s not offering you what he has.

Actually really nice, despite his sarcasm and apparent coldness. That may be who he seems to be, but anyone who bothers to look further will see what lies beneath.

Not necessarily quiet, but the most reserved of the group. Everyone knows him, but barely anyone knows him.

Lwk Noah (the notebook) coded, but in the “Well that's what we do, we fight... You tell me when I am being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you are a pain in the ass. Which you are, 99% of the time. I'm not afraid to hurt your feelings. You have like a 2 second rebound rate, then you're back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing. So it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, for ever, you and me, every day.” Way.

Reads when he actually has the time, like when the dorms aren’t being used like a frat house and his life actually seems normal. He keeps it to himself, though.

Ended up buying his own first aid kit because you were always in his dorm patching him up.

—> what can he say, though? Mattheo’s always fighting, and he’d be a bad friend not to jump in. Don’t even get him started on when he fights for you, either.

When he fights, no emotion is poured into it. Instead of red hot anger that shoots through his veins and into his knuckles, he’s ice. Face straight as he beats men into the infirmary.

Dresses like if Jacob Elordi, David Beckham, and Brad Pitt had a fashion baby.

Never makes his bed (he’s not leaving it half of the time anyway)

Always says his favourite food is pasta but will DEVOUR a grilled cheese like no other

Loves chocolate chip cookies, holds a particular hatred for oatmeal cookies.

Dreams of people he loves being ripped away from him, and all he can do is beg for it not to happen.

—> sleep talks. Sometimes you’ll hear his faint pleads, and all you can do is hold him tighter and hope it ends soon. You never mention it after because he’d be embarrassed.

A broken, broken boy whose light shines through the breaks in his heart. He’s scared to glue it back together in case it will block out the light, but you’ve made him sure you’ll shine through him no matter what.

“Blue - Billie Eilish”
