every day i remember that betsey and alexander read and gossiped about her friends' letters together, to the point where a few people pointedly mentioned it. for the life of me i cannot find that letter where a friend begs betsey to show discretion because she knows that a certain somebody enjoys giggling about her private life but as soon as i hunt it down i will be adding that here, trust.

18th century equivalent of screenshotting dms and not giving af that the other person can see it lmfao

"i think people in the mortal kombat fandom should be required to pick one female character and write a study on them before they can do anything else" - I don't think NRS themselves can do that,tbh. How the duck do you have a cast of 20+ characters and only 6 are women? Then,among those 6, a little over half of them aren't really relevant to the story, one is there for the promo and the other two are in the back ground when they should be front and centre. And,no, I'm not counting Kameos because they don't really do anything.

Kitana got hit the worst with the timeline revisions to me. She was never meant to be this passive. Or,hell,they could have done something with that, that also showcases her dynamic with her twin. They keep telling us shut about them but.....like.....let us see the real tea. In fact, Mileena herself is an unanswered question, because:

a) How did Mileena's Tarkat diagnosis affect Kitana?

b) What's being done to prevent her from catching it from Mileena?

c) How did Mileena even get Tarkat to begin with? We know she supposedly wandered out of the palace unsupervised, but how did she get past the Umgadi?(then again, someone managed to get past them to kill Jerrod, so I guess she could do it too)

d)Where did she go and what was she doing? Did someone help her sneak out or did she decide to go on a whim?

e)How is Tarkat contracted to begin with? Skin contact? Viral infection?

f) Are we supposed to genuinely believe that the literal crown princess of Outworld snuck out of a huge palace and somehow no one saw her leaving? Or the general public didn't bar an eye at her being out and about alone?

And this is just off the top of my head. Did none of the writers utilize the "5 Ws, 1 H" method for any of the girls?

a lot of the issue is with nrs and especially with mk12 having a TINY selection of female characters (but still that doesn’t negate how overwhelming the current fandom is with the men and should not be an excuse to just not care about the women).

i do not like this iteration of kitana either (they took her claws away she needs them back), nor mileena, but i especially do not like their relationship. they are too sweet with each other and as much i do like seeing that they are sisters it really is just. please start fighting with each other. PLEASE have some conflict. they are THE siblings of mortal kombat. like you said, how did mileena getting tarkat affect kitana? i also really would have actually liked to see WHY people wanted kitana on the throne instead of mileena because nothing really shows us the reason. it’s also really cruel that for some reason kitana had be to written more so in the background so mileena could have her moments to shine, instead of being able to provide equal footing for both sisters.

as for what mileena was doing when sneaking out i kind of assumed that it was cause she just wanted to get out of the palace for a bit, and somehow got in contact with a tarkatan (which as you pointed out we know nothing about.)

mileena really was there just to be like “hey she’s back and she’s happy like everyone wanted!!” and there is some nuance to her new iteration, but nothing that makes me… happy? about her new story. it really just feels like fan service because happy character = happy fans. i do think her relationship with sindel is interesting but that is just me and my interest in parent/child dynamics, but also i think people in general should be talking about her because she’s mileena. she’s objectively one of the most popular mortal kombat characters yet there is nothing about her (or literally any woman).

but anyways, as much as the writers are at fault for providing a shockingly little amount of story or backgrounds for the female characters, it shouldn’t be an excuse for the fandom. to just forget about the female characters. make up headcanons. theorize about them. it’s not impossible cause we are already doing it for the guys (just to name an example the amount of content on smoke should be telling that people are capable of focusing on characters that got very little screen time).

Philip Schuyler to Elizabeth Hamilton, 1804

Albany Thursday October 25, 1804

I felt my Dearly beloved Child the pangs you would experience on a return to a place where the sweet smiles, the amiable affability, the cheerful and enduring attention of the best of men had been wont to meet your eyes and apprehending from what I felt, that your pangs would be severe, I have addressed, and I hope with humility and fervor, the divine disposer of all events to mitigate your grief and to pour the balm of consolation into your wounded bosom.  It is a beneficent God and his gracious providence that our comfort, our consolation, our peace of mind must be derived

[…]

in this seeking let us remember that we do not injure that health which is so precious to our dear Children.  Yes my beloved I say our children, for of you and yours I am the parent, and may it please the almighty to let me remain in life, that you and they may constantly experience my love, my tenderness, and my gratitude to the dear deceased.

My favorite kind of romance is when they’re so close to kissing but then someone interrupts or one of them gets scared and just backs away. Pain.
