#mk general shao

[sharkgummie]

I find this ship extremely funny to me

[koisuko]

Pov: You are a cat (Pt2)

how the mk1 characters react to you as a stray cat, one with an oddly familiar/fitting name

part 1, part 3, part 4, bonus

ft: Reiko, General Shao, Havik, Quan Chi

TW: slight gore (Havik is silly), fluffy stuff, gn, kitty cat

Reiko

Reiko found himself entrusted with the responsibility of recruiting and training fresh soldiers for General Shao's army. He leaned over a table, his gaze fixed on the intricate details of a war map, his thoughts immersed in the strategic plans outlined by Shao. As he pondered the battlefield scenarios, an unexpected interruption jolted him out of his reverie.

A swift swat to his shin compelled Reiko to glance downward, where he discovered a medium-sized, deep brown feline. At first, he tried to dismiss your presence, returning his attention to the map before him. However, another firm swat to his leg demanded his acknowledgment. Frustration welled up, and he knelt down to your level, meeting your gaze with squinted eyes.

He observed as you pounced and pawed at his foot with remarkable tenacity. Despite his initial annoyance, Reiko couldn't help but feel a hint of amusement. "You possess quite the warrior spirit," he remarked, his smirk tugging at the corners of his lips. Reaching out a hand, he gave you a few gentle pats on the head before lifting you up and placing you on the map table.

A brief, silent standoff ensued between you and the silver eyed man, both curious about each other's next move. After a contemplative moment, Reiko moved closer to you, examining your small form with interest. "Perhaps you'll prove useful in keeping the soldiers in check," he mused. His attention then shifted to a small collar adorned with a metal piece that bore the inscription 'General.' "A true warrior," he noted, offering a salute to you with a smile.

General Shao

"Is it just me, or is Earthrealm's champion scrawnier than usual?" Shao taunts with a sly grin, leaning his massive form down toward a large, fluffy, grey spotted tabby cat. You can't help but let out a disapproving hiss at such an insult, earning a deep, gravelly chuckle from Shao. He straightens up and looms over you, amusement dancing in his eyes. "Awfully intimidating," he begins, "the fiercest Earthrealm warrior I've seen in this lifetime."

Confident, you puff your chest out, letting out a bold meow before casually beginning to clean your paw, seemingly unfazed by his sheer size. The smirk never leaves Shao's face as he bends down once more, gently patting your head before lifting you up and placing you on his broad shoulders. You paw at his distinctive horns curiously, another low chuckle vibrating his chest as he turns his head to look up at you.

A small name tag catches his eye, and upon closer examination, it reads 'Reiko.' Recognition flashes across his face, and a booming laughter escapes his lips. "A challenge to my second in command!" he declares, reaching a hand up to scratch your chin with surprising gentleness. He begins his return to the barracks, a new found soldier resting upon his shoulders.

Havik

You sat there, a silent observer, in the dimly lit room. The scarred man stood with his back to you, engaged in a conversation with a guy named 'Darrius,' from what you could gather. They seemed oblivious to your presence as you playfully wrestled with a stray red ribbon you'd found earlier. As Darrius exited the room, casting a curious side-eye your way, Havik finally turned to face you, revealing his disfigured appearance. He tilted his head slightly, clearly baffled by the sight of a rogue black feline.

You couldn't resist the urge to pause your ribbon conquest, looking up at Havik with a mirrored head tilt. The two of you locked eyes for a moment, and you showed no signs of fear. Havik let out a sinister chuckle and decided to approach you, crouching down to your level and extending a finger toward you, curiosity dancing in his eyes. At first, you sniffed it inquisitively, but then you suddenly pounced, sinking your teeth into his finger with all the feline ferocity you could muster.

He laughed at the pain, clearly entertained by your aggressive playstyle. Havik slowly pulled his finger from your grip, even going so far as to rip it from the joint completely severing it from his hand, gauging your feline reaction as he did so, and wiggling it in front of your face. Your pupils dilated, poised to strike, and he tossed the digit across the room. With a swift leap, you chased it down, landing on it fiercely before gnawing and licking your newfound prey.

Havik chuckled, thoroughly amused by your antics, and he approached once more, gently scratching your chin in appreciation of your hunting prowess. "Good show, little hunter," he rasped, his gaze drawn to a small nametag on your collar. 'Chaos,' it read, which brought a soft laughter from Havik. "Suits you well, Chaos," he mused, a trace of admiration in his voice as he nodded in agreement with his own assessment.

Quan Chi

Quan Chi stood there, engrossed in the pages of an ancient tome, his unblinking eyes scanning each word with unwavering focus. Every page seemed to hold the key to some profound knowledge, and he devoured the text as though his very life depended on it. Eventually, he settled at his desk, positioned by a window that offered a breathtaking view of the land beyond.

His face remained stoic, lost in thought as he stared out into the horizon. In the midst of his silent contemplation, a soft meow pierced the stillness, and his view of the outside world was unexpectedly obscured by a curtain of long Siamese fur. Initially startled by the sudden interruption, Quan Chi soon realized that this intrusion was a welcome one.

There you were, perched right in his line of sight on the desk, your head tilted curiously as you offered a gentle meow. His expression remained unchanged, but his actions spoke volumes. He reached out and pulled you into a warm embrace, your soft fur serving as a soothing balm for his troubled mind. He closed his eyes and caressed your fur with fluid, gentle motions, releasing a soft sigh as the weight of his worries seemed to dissipate with every stroke.

You purred contentedly in his arms, your presence providing a comforting warmth to his tense mental battle. "Necro," he said, his voice tinged with gratitude, "a welcome solace in my prophetic storm." These words carried the unspoken acknowledgment of how you, in your own feline way, had brought him back to the present and eased his burdens.

(plot twist Quan Chi already has a cat)

[starsurface]

Hello! how are you? I hope well.

so :) I'm the person who made the requests for Liu Kang and Reiko on Ao3 and I'm glad you joined tumblr :D

I hope it won't be a problem if I ask for some headcanons of caregiver Shao Kahn and regressor Reiko?

Oh my gosh hiiiii!!! :D. I distinctly remember writing yours (I was SO excited about havung an escuzse to write Reiko <3)

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

CG Shao w/ Regressor Reiko Hcs

🗡 Reiko regresses to about 4-5

🛡 Very much a kid regressor . . . But my goodness, an energetic kid regressor

🗡 The first time Shao saw Reiko regress was when Reiko was clearly irritating a middlespace Rain and had to intervene before any fighting started

🛡 Ended up ‘watching’ both regressors (Rain denies that he was ever babysat, he was just in the room while Shao watched Reiko 😒)

🗡 Reiko actually panicked after Shao watched him and was worried about his job position (it was an incredibly vulnerable scene between both men)

🛡 Ever since then, Reiko likes running to Shao some times when he's small

🗡 Shao actually adores watching him, especially because he had to raise Reiko to face war and terrifying things and now he can give him the childhood he knows Reiko lings for

🛡 (^ Feels secretly guilty that his way of raising Reiko is why he regresses, Reiko has yet to comment)

🗡 Reiko does see Shao as a Dad figure, and after he first regresses around him, almost any praise from him will make him feel small and involuntarily regress (it got better, and was able to control it again, don't worry)

🛡 Once called Shao ‘Dad’ by accident when he was big and it made Reiko slip by accident because of how worried he was about Shao getting upset

🗡 Shao just patted his head and asked if there was anything he could do for him

🛡 Reiko is very . . . energetic, and extremely chaotic

🗡 Loves wrestling!!!

🛡 Actually, loves any type of play fighting

🗡 Wrestling, sword fighting, pillow fights, all of them!!!

🛡 Although he gets a bit (really) rough when he's play fighting and can accidentally hurt someone :(

🗡 Luckily, Shao's very strong, and he's more than willing to play fight with Reiko

🛡 Makes sure to give him wooden play swords though, he's not having any accidents happen

🗡 Usually, Reiko likes acting like a brat or patience testing

🛡 But with Shao? He is an angel!! 👼 (Que to all his friends glaring at him)

🗡 Will try to patience test, but is also much more willingly to follow Shao's ‘orders’ than anyone else

🛡 Shao realized this and encouraged him to act more normal and be more kid like

🗡 He might be his best soldier, but right now, he's his favorite kid

🛡 (^ No Reiko didn't cry at that confession, you saw nothing)

🗡 Shao is a lot more willing to let things slide because of this

🛡 Usually, when he says it's bedtime, it's bedtime

🗡 But if Reiko chooses to whine and pout? Well . . . five more minutes won't hurt, but no more!!

🛡 Shao's CG nicknames are Dada, Papa, or just Shao (a sign that Reiko's regressing too, since he always makes sure to say General Shao)

🗡 Reiko's favorite nicknames are Little Warrior, Little One, Baby Boy, Darling, ‘Hun, Precious

🛡 Reiko does have times where he's not super chaotic and energetic

🗡 Instead, he's very calm and is willing to sit down and cuddle

🛡 Loves cuddles, and loves it when Shao cuddles him because of how big Shao is and how tiny he feels

🗡 Also really touch starved and actively searches for praise and attention (even if he has to act out for it)

🛡 Story time!!! Outlandish tales!!!

🗡 You thought Reiko gave good story times? Shao gives amazing story times, and little Reiko firmly believes every single one of them

🛡 . . . They'll probably get him hyped up by accident though and try to get Shao to fight him like how the fighter in the story did >:3

🗡 . . . You don't understand the amount of angst I could give Reiko (he's one of my favorites)

🛡 Coming back after an incredibly harsh day as a warrior only to break down as soon as his door shuts

🗡 Or rushes to the bathroom to hide in the shower so no one can see him cry

🛡 Luckily, either one of his friends or Shao always find him

🗡 Reiko would say he ever regresses super young, he prides himself in being a big kid

🛡 But these days? These days anyone who sees him like this all really agrees that he regresses more to a baby headspace

🗡 Needs to be held and cradled, needs to have someone there but is also too afraid to reach out for someone

🛡 Demands cuddles when he's like this

🗡 Shao physically can't let him go anyhow, Reiko's grip is way too tight on him

🛡 Shao got Reiko a bottle for when he gets like this, because Reiko can't use his big kid cups with how shakey his hands are

🗡 Reiko pouted and claimed he didn't need it but it's super useful for when he's like this

🛡 Most times when he's small, he keeps his face paint on, he likes wearing it, very proud of being a warrior

🗡 But sometimes he'll take it off (no one is allowed to make fun of his face because he will burst into tears)

🛡 Shao has caught Reiko more than once looking in the mirror confused because he didn't recognize himself without his war faint

🗡 Will let his hair down more when he's tinier, and loves it when Shao plays with it

🛡 He's actually more of an independent regressor, and is able to regress and watch himself

🗡 But his constant search for anyone who will give him praise and soft touches makes him a lot more dependant than he realizes

🛡 Luckily though, Shao realized, and makes sure to give Reiko some extra fatherly loving

🗡 Reiko's favorite regression item is a stuffed bear he has that he's owned for years

🛡 It was the first stuffie he was ever given, and was actually a gift from Shao himself when he was first taken in

🗡 That bear does not leave his room and stays on his bed, most times tucked in comfortably

🛡 Shao was surprised to see the stuffie still alive and offered to buy Reiko a new one (his old one is pretty . . . tattered)

🗡 Reiko absolutely refuses because that's his favorite stuffie and no one can take it from him >:(

🛡 It's only one of the few things he sees as his and can't bare to part with it

🗡 . . . It is so . . loved to the point that while it mainly stays tucked in Reiko's bed, he can't sleep with it because one tear and it’ll go bye bye

🛡 So it's either gently in his hands (one of the only things he's gentle with) or on the bed

🗡 Shao did get Reiko a new stuffie specifically for sleepy time but now Reiko has two favorite stuffies!! :D

🛡 Shao isn't always a soft man, but he's extremely soft towards a little Reiko, that's basically his kid after all <3

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

AAAAAAAH, REIKO IS ANOTHER FAVORITE TRADGETY OF MINE!!!! :(

GENERAL SHAO -TIGER

[beecanons]

Mortal kombat General Shao regressor Hcs??

Regressor! General Shao headcanons!

oohh the bossiest of kiddos demands, orders super stubborn

claims to be independant but really isnt he'll try to be but, cant be bossy if you have no one to boss around, right?

the pouting tries to hide when he does it but he pouts a lot

wont admit how much he needs attention

likes birds and skulls feathers, reds and silvers are a comfort

chicken nuggies thats it.

"are you pouting?" "no" "do you want a hug?" "no" "do you want cuddles?" "....no" "are you sure?" "..no..." "you want cuddles then?" "...yes"

sorry its kinda short, hope this is okay!

[dinogoofy]

how do you feel about general shao 🫣

ARGGG

so I hate him. Definitely hate him. Very much. But he's also kinda attractive??? Like it makes me so mad.

He the type of man to either have an arranged marriage or not marry at all, unless you're evil as hell I guess. He's very large, which gives him SOME points, but for me he makes me SO FREAKING MAD ARG.

An enemies to lovers thing between him and another general would be pretty funny tho. Just have a raging, yelling, maybe even physical fight over tactics for war, which maybe leads to hateful *intimate moments* if you catch my drift? I'd absolutely love to put him in his in place way or another 😈

Also I think it would be cool if Reiko had a softer/motherly parental figure after his family died. It'd probably fix some of his issues lmao

[dirtymortalkombatconfessions]

DO A FLIP 🗣️‼️‼️

[lorekeepper]

[starsurface]

Back again hehe! (Not anon now tho) Literally adore this page sm! Content is so heartwarming I can’t get enough of it and is easily one of my new fav accs to look through :3 Maybe some MK1 caregiver Reiko and Regressor General Shao Hcs? TY✨

Awhhhh, thank you!!! I love your account as well!!! It's so wholesome and so fun to go through 🥺 (Also the emoji's I used are: 🗡🛡!!)

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

CG Reiko w/ Regressor Shao Hcs

🗡 Shao regresses kinda young, about 1-3

🛡 This is probably mostly because he holds back his regression for a super long time because he's busy, he's the general, he doesn't need relaxation time, this, that, etc, etc

🗡 So when he does regress, he's a baby that just wants to be held and loved 🥺

🛡 I like to think Shao involuntarily regressed for a super long time before even knowing what age regression was

🗡 But also never really fully slipped and was probably stuck in between headspaces without knowing

🛡 It was too scary, feeling fully small and fuzzy, what if someone caught him snuggling his blanket or babbling to his favorite stuffie!!

🗡 It was a deep secret he had where he'd find some time to relax and snuggle with his blankets and hide from all his big kid responsibilities

🛡 The first time Reiko ever saw Shao regressed was when they were doing reports together and Shao started getting frustrated because the words were getting too hard and the acts on the page were too horrid and too big for his tiny mind

🗡 Since Reiko already knew of regression, he kinda just went with the flow

🛡 Said that Shao was too tiny right now to be doing any kind of big kid files and they should take a break and do something fun! Like sword fight or wrestle (Reiko's personal favorite little activities)

🗡 Instead they just kinda cuddled in bed because Shao doesn't like doing those things when he's tiny

🛡 He already has to do them when he's big, don't make him do it while he's small 🥺

🗡 Shao doesn't fully regress regress without Reiko

🛡 He can't, it's too difficult and scary

🗡 Plus what is someone walks in? Or he forgot to lock the door? Reiko's big and strong, he can protect him!!

🛡 One of both their favorite activities is story time

🗡 Reiko has a lot of war experience, and he can use some of his victories into great outlandish tales he's done!!

🛡 (^ keeping most of the gore and stuff to practically nonexistent, and maybe fabrotacting a few things here of there, gotta keep the baby entertained!!)

🗡 You know those big dogs that think they can jump on you and sit on your lap like they're the smallest thing in the world?

🛡 That's Shao, 100%

🗡 What do you mean he's gotta be careful when he's trying to get cuddles? He's just a baby 🥺

🛡 (^ Don't worry though, Shao gets all the cuddles he wants, Reiko’s super strong!!)

🗡 Does have to be careful of his horns though, he doesn't wanna poke someone by accident, that'd hurt :(

🛡 If he did accidentally poke Reiko with them, he'd probably just get a gentle reminder that we gotta be careful when we have super cool horns because sometimes we can hurt others

🗡 Please do not yell at this man, he will cry

🛡 Or, more have tears weld in his eyes and start blubbering when you turn away

🗡 He's a big boy, he doesn't cry!! >:(

🛡 . . . Lier

🗡 Positive reaffirming and gentle redirecting work best with Shao

🛡 He doesn't like getting yelled at, or going to a naughty step, or any type of punishment

🗡 He already has to bark orders all day, deal with people he despises

🛡 Luckily, Reiko can turn very soft when he can read a room

🗡 He gets very patient when Shao does something naughty, leading him in the direction rather than yelling

🛡 Will rarely have to every put his foot down because Shao doesn't actually break too many rules

🗡 Most of their rules are for safety anyhow, although he still doesn't understand why he can't draw on the walls 😒

🛡 When Shao feels a little bit older and not baby baby, he's very bossy

🗡 What does Reiko mean he has to write one more sentence on his paperwork? No he doesn't! He can come cuddle him right now!! That's an order!! >:(

🛡 Stomps and huffs when he doesn't get his way (and Reiko has to finish his job, stupid paperwork)

🗡 Doesn't like feeling tiny and Reiko's not there, its scary

🛡 Reiko's got a full time job on his hands, bossy baby on his hip 24/7, fr

🗡 Doesn't like others babysitting him either, right now only Reiko knows and he has no plans on changing that

🛡 Reiko doesn't mind, they'll move at his pace

🗡 Horn scratches are must!!!

🛡 Well, any scratches are a must, lightly on the arm, back scratches while cuddling, almost anywhere Shao has scales

🗡 For being a lieutenant, Reiko has really nice nails that are perfect for scratchies

🛡 Reiko's favorite CG nicknames are Papa or Bubba (when Shao's really small 'Ko cause Shao will repeat it and it makes Reiko feel all big and proud)

🗡 Shao's favorite little nicknames are Little One, Fierce Guy, Tough Cookie, Baby-Bear

🛡 I could probably see Shao being a dragon regressor too??

🗡 And that means he steals all of Reiko's nice shiny stuff for his blankie nest, its his now, Reiko doesn't have a choice >:(

🛡 He's also much more active in this headspace and will play more games like tag or hide and seek

🗡 Shao also likes being called Hatchling when he's a dragon

🛡 Overall, he's either a very cuddly baby, or a little bossy baby (still super cuddly though)

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I know they're mostly focused on Shao but I hope you like them!!! :D
