I was rewatching clips on youtube and noticed something strange….. Tell me, is it just a rock and I'm not imagining things? At first I thought it was a baby wrapped in a blanket(┬┬﹏┬┬)
Fujin comforting baby Satoshi, assuring the death of his clan and parents isn’t his fault…
Context: Satoshi escaped the massacre of the Shirai Ryu and witnessed his parents get murdered from afar. He bumped into Fujin, who, with no hesitation, took him in as his child after hearing him out.
I couldn't manage to use the whole song (mainly bc there aren't enough images of Fox in the comics) but I got most of it (song is: Harpy Hare by Yaelokre)
I can’t stop thinking about the concept of the Shirai ryu already existing with Hanzo and Harumi as the head and both kuai and Tomas joining them.
Mostly because it would be hilarious seeing Kuai having a crisis about falling in love with both Hanzo and Harumi and having a whole crisis about being a home wrecker and feeling disgraceful and all that (bonus for not knowing how to express himself thanks to the Lin kuei), meanwhile Harumi and Hanzo are both stopping each other from jumping kuai and marrying him on the spot.
side plot: Satoshi being the biggest gossip and telling Tomas everything he knows.
Bonus plot: Tomas spilling the beans to Syzoth and Ashra having no clue they are in the same situation.
Okay, but everyone keeps saying "Poor Honzo", "He can't catch a break" and I'm sitting over here like "Poor Harumi". Because she gets killed mercilessly in every damn thing she's in. She could just be sitting there, existing, and the writers just go "Not today bitch". Who the hell did she piss off so much that they want her dead in every excruciating way possible. In Scorpion's invasion cutscene, they literally made the most cruel and sadistic ways to kill her. Like, when will it end?
Anyway, I wanna talk about the Hasashi family ❤️✨. Harumi Rose is the youngest child of Aliyaa and Hanzo. The older ones are: Satoshi Hasashi, Haruto Hasashi and Tsurugi Hasashi, in my au, before Hanzo meets Aliyaa, He adopted an orphaned boy he found in the streets his name is Akio. Which means, Harumi has 4 older brothers to protect her be around her 😁.
I was experimenting with doing a manga/webtoon-like artstyle. I’m still developing and figuring out my Mortal Kombat AU since there may be a chance I do some mini comics or a possible webcomic (if I have the willpower to make it happen lmao) .
I’m still heavily invested in my version of Satoshi because he’s an absolute badass like his father 😎🦂. Though he’s still a crybaby at heart before becoming Scorpion-Neo.
Lin Kuei Satoshi AU, thanks to @jocelynhealy for the convos that have helped inform this AU
We all know that the old Lin Kuei were a bunch of cruel fuckers so what if they kidnapped Satoshi instead of killing him, training him to be Lin Kuei?
He'd probably be too young to actually succeed in running away and would be trying his best to survive, and I think that Kuai Liang would see too much of himself in the kid to turn a blind eye and so would take him under his wing and try to plan an escape for him. Satoshi eventually becomes his apprentice under the moniker Dragonfly and views Kuai Liang as the only ally he has, the cryomancer treating him with kindness and protecting him as best he can.
Then Bi-Han dies, so Kuai Liang and Smoke leave the Lin Kuei, taking Satoshi with them as it is his best chance at an escape, given that Scorpion is the only living Shirai Ryu that anyone knows of. Satoshi and Kuai Liang both end up getting captured, with Satoshi never finding out that Scorpion is his dad. Satoshi escapes before getting cyberized and ends up trying to live a normal life after a while. The Lin Kuei imploded and everyone thinks he's dead so why not?
Eventually he hears that someone going by his father's name has refounded the Shirai Ryu, but he refuses to believe that it is his dad because if it was, why didn't he look for Satoshi? (Bc he thought you were dead, dumbass) and so he investigates.
Upon finding out that it is his dad, who adopted two children (Takeda and Fox who isn't dead bc fu NRS) and allied with the Lin Kuei (though he doesn't know who leads them now) he's pissed off and swears revenge, attacking the Kombat Kids every chance he gets to try and get to Takeda and Fox, until he runs into his father who tries to stop him, freezing when he realizes who it is. Satoshi runs, not wanting to face that and as soon as Kuai Liang finds out, he goes after him.
Kuai Liang knows him well enough by now to know where Satoshi would go to hide, finds him, and tries to talk some sense into him, leading to Satoshi attacking and Kuai Liang refusing to defend, continuing to just talk and tell him about how much Hanzo has been grieving Satoshi and Harumi, the things he does to honor them, how much he misses them both. Satoshi refuses to believe it and knocks him out, dragging him back to the Shirai Ryu compound.
Once there, Satoshi challenges his father to Kombat, intending to kill him. By now, Hanzo has been around Kuai Liang enough to know that this is how Lin Kuei settle arguments (and doesn't that just break his heart, that his son is Lin Kuei as little as either of them wants to admit it) so he agrees, and also refuses to defend or fight back as his son attacks.
Satoshi is just screaming at him, demanding that he fight back, but Hanzo refuses to raise a hand to him, no matter what, leading to Satoshi just breaking down crying as he clutches at his father, who immediately wraps him up in a hug (even though Hanzo is so injured that it is agony to do so, he won't let go) and just holds him through it.
Eventually, the three sit down and talk it through, discussing what has happened in the years they've been separated and relearning each other.
