Random headcanon assortment again today because school is draining the life from me but I must think thoughts

—Bi Han will always take a knitted blanket over any other type of blanket

—Syzoth taps the tab on a soda can before opening it

—Sonya knows how to cook, but used to be quite bad at it. She felt embarrassed being surrounded by men and doing things that were “too feminine”. So, her brother Stryker learned alongside her. Now they both cook like champs

—Stryker though is more inclined to a grill. He makes a mean anything beef related

—Shang Tsung enjoys Earthrealm’s classical music. Outworld’s he associated with pretentious folk, but earth’s has a certain chime to it.

—Shang Tsung discovered this because he and Quan Chi, with the help of Bi Han, figured out how to have a movie night to study Johnny’s fighting style via his films. Instead they ended up going down a Ninja Mime rabbit hole and silently crying over Breaknose Mountain (yes, this parody is exactly what you think it is and yes, it’s canon.)

—Sektor is a master cosmetologist. She often does Cyrax’s hair for her.

—Liu Kang can often be found meditating in his personal room. He can’t sleep, but he likes to daydream while lying in his bed. He routinely asks someone in the temple to “wake” him at a certain time (often, Geras does this). The first time he “slept” without doing this, he slept for a week. The temple was beside themselves.

—Raiden’s sister, Jin, is very religious and fascinated with different cultures. She very fervently follows multiple daily horoscopes.

I just thought of an au where Shang is literally a mad scientist...and knows how to hypnotize people... I named it Insomnia AU because that was the only thing I thought of, and Quan is immune, and he is also Shang's assistant. I am going to draw it. (This is also a QuanTsung AU)

Idk who you are OP but I found this tweet while scrolling the quantsung tag yesterday and couldn’t stop thinking about it.

Gave me something easy and silly to draw to beat back my artblock <3 ignore the fact I clearly didn’t know what to do with the background lol I didn’t wanna keep it white

(Also i tried following the descriptions, hope it turned out at least a little how you imagined)

I really wanted to change my pfp on Instagram to something from an animated mortal kombat series but my fav Shang is mk1 Shang… so I refused to not get my way and just drew him over a screenshot of Liu Kang <3 (this scene was actually him seconds after killing Shang. Lmfao)

My favorite thing about fandoms has to be obsessively sharing them with my best friend. Like, we got our own damn universe connecting ALL of these MK games. We got dead characters. We got revived characters. We got complicated family dynamics and relationships that only exist because one of us saw a piece of fanart by some obscure artist on Twitter or something and went, hey actually this is lowkey good! No one can tell us what is or isn’t real because we just make shit up. Our world.

So far some of our headcanons, not in order of randomness, include:

-Johnny Cage grew up in Texas

-Johnny and Kano being brothers who BOTH grew up in Texas (unfortunately Kano got downgraded by choosing Australia for his “I need to get tf outta this state” vacay. Johnny got the cool version with LA. Regardless they both are bullied at family functions.)

-Sonya and Stryker, older sister younger brother

-Mk1 Raiden, like his godly counterpart, is 7 feet tall.

-Mk1 Raiden also is an autistic man, I will fight on this hill

-Titan Shang Tsung actually just transitioned. That’s it. Her name is Damashi now. She’s just an evil little woman doing evil little things

-Bi-Han is the shortest between him, Kuai Liang and Tomas

-Tomas is also Venezuelan

-Fujin was the equivalent of Kung Lao’s father. And Raiden was Liu Kang’s. And they were all happy and nothing bad happened (for a while)

-Liu Kang is incredibly short

-In au contexts, to keep both versions of Shang Tsung relevant, Mk1 Shang is often a young man whilst Damashi is his elderly grandmother.

I could probably keep going, but I think the list gets boring after this. Generally, my point is: Reject canon and you will just have 110% more fun in every fandom you’re in. Rewrite those characters. Fix that chunk in the timeline you don’t like. And post it unapologetically. Chances are someone out there, even if they don’t say it out loud, is looking at this and screaming “Hell yeah!”
