CW: Mortal Kombat typical violence, decapitation
Shown: Kitana sending the Cryomancers packing, holding Mileena's head (not her Mileena, and a danger to empress and realm, but still).
This is not the first time we've seen Kitana decapitate someone. Recall her ladder ending. She slices off that poor sap's head with gusto.
In peacetime, Kitana is one of the biggest carebears on the roster, and . She's one of only two characters that pass the Datusha test, the other being Smoke (which immediately establishes a link between the two). Loving sister, well-behaved daughter, even in clashes her eyes are soft and dewy. She follows the rules of her mother's tournament, even when she gets stomped by Raiden and his plot armor. She tries to make peace when her mother and sister argue, albeit without much success.
But on the battlefield, she's as violent and bloody as Reiko or Bi-Han. She's showing Other Mileena's head to the invading Cryomancers, a very clear "if you don't get the fuck out of our realm, this will be you shortly."
I think NRS may be building a duality here; a Kitana who's benevolent in peace, but ferocious in war, and a genuine threat to Outworld's enemies and/or victims.
They could be setting her up for a genuine heel turn, which would be an interesting change of pace, though one I really wouldn't like.
What I don't want is another "Edenians bad/actually, Kitana is a total shitter" like in MK11.
Kitana's battle against Other Mileena is deserving of its own post, so I won't cover it here.

👽// guidelines had a mini update, mainly trimming the fat in a couple areas! There is one new addition though I do want to point to below:
Messaging OOC
Please do not approach me unprompted via IM’s to vent. I do not expect forced positivity and nor do I want it; you should be able to speak freely on your blog!
That being said, I have my own difficulties that I like to keep ultimately private in this space and for my own mental health— I request this boundary to be respected in regard to direct OOC communications.

Nico also has nipples I see, with piercings 🫄💥🚗
That he does! Nico's only got one of them pierced though, bc he couldn't stand the pain 😔.
Lyra one upped him and got both of hers pierced some years later, something that still annoys him to no end.

Me: *is watching the Stargate SG1 season 2 finale*
Me: hmm Jack, Sam, and Daniel were all naked coming out of being cryogenically frozen but we only saw Daniel's nips so he was kinda more naked than the other two. I wonder if someone on the show's production team has the hots for him or the actor
Me after finding out the villain of the episode is an alien with the hots for Daniel: ah, ok, there was an in-universe explanation. This is a really good show
