I firmly believe that, originally, Liu Kang had expected that the champion would be Kenshi. Now, don’t get him wrong. Any champion would be fine by him, he trusts them all and loves them all. And it would’ve made sense that Kenshi would be the one to win, as he was the one with the most experience out of the four champions.
But when Kenshi was defeated, it took him by surprise that this man, Kenshi, who escaped the yakuza. Who was more skilled in fighting terms, that had more experience, had lost.
That put Liu Kang slightly on edge. Because it meant that his champion would be either Johnny, Raiden or Kung Lao. When Johnny lost, his nerves weren’t appealed. But when Kung Lao lost, it felt like he could breath again.
His brain making him remember when his friend had died on his timeline. He trusts Kung Lao, he trusts him as a person and he trusts his strength. But he’s still grateful that it wouldn’t be Kung Lao the one to face Shao Ka—General Shao.
Even if this new tournament, that he himself organized, didn’t required for anyone to die, like in his timeline, Liu Kang—despite all the eons that had passed— still had it fresh in his skull when his friend died. The celebrations that the public had made when Kung Lao’s inert, cold, dead body hit the arena. The way his eyes were wide open, staring at nothing, and how the bone of the neck was slightly peeking out through the skin.
Liu Kang doesn’t think he will ever forget any of it.
I swear if nobody writes a fic of this in going to seriously go insane.
Silly AU idea
You know what would be funny if someone could re create that episode from supernatural where they get zapped to real life, (a French mistake I think it was called) and Deadpool and Wolverine are stuck in Ryan’s and Hugh’s bodies/lives 🤣 but of course Wade already knows all that exists and is just happy to be in an unscarred version of himself
I rewatched Inside Job and I had forgotten how much the ending shatters your soul. It’s so painful and I hate that it got cancelled.
[SPOILERS FOR S2 AHEAD]
Reagan deserved to be with Ron, yet she knew he would never be fully happy with her. She was quite literally bred since childhood to be Cognito Inc.’s boss. She quite literally cannot focus on anything, because despite how unhappy she is with her life and her job, she simply cannot let go. And she knew that, and she knew that Ron deserved so much better than her.
And what’s the ultimate act of love if not to set him free from her toxic behavior?
Mk1 incorrect quotes pt. 6:
Geras: I do undestand your pain man
Baraka: How can you? You've never faced death!
Geras: …

fanart of chapter 7 of the fic „the heroine is annoying, but she dies spectacularly at the end” by @hockeyisforthegays .
Shoko probably thinks hes being blackmailed….
Yes, and Shang Tsung is the asshole that’s in Liu Kang’s comment section trying to tear it apart.
My man Liu Kang created the timeline like he was writing his own personal fanfic
Wait, then what does it mean to “rotate” them? I mean, I know what rotate means, but how do you rotate a character? What even is rotating a character?!
I need this luck. I just got out of a one-month long hospitalization where I had to go into emergency surgery twice and I’m just getting back to school. I need all the help I can get to pass my last year of school.
so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
reblog to give your headache to elon musk instead
MK1 Incorrect quotes pt.3:
Kenshi, in the dark during a big storm that cut the Wu Shi Academy’s power, searching for candles: Kung Lao I’m starting to think that this is a really bad idea.
Raiden: Oh I’m not Lao, I’m Raiden. I though you were Lao.
Kenshi: No, I’m Kenshi.
Kung Lao: You’re Kenshi? Where’s Johnny?
Kenshi: Who are you?
Kung Lao: I’m Kung Lao!
Liu Kang, eyes flashing like a pair of white flashlight: Guess who I am, you guys!
Mk1 AU where everything is the same but Liu Kangs eyes work like two mini flashlights
I’ve been thinking about that one “The last Unicorn” audio, the one that says “You hear me? You lost her! You trapped her in a human body, she’ll go mad!” “What have you done to me? I’m a unicorn. I’m a unicorn! I wish you had let the Red Vault take me. I wish you had left me to the harpies! I can feel this body dying all around me!”
Now imagine that but with Liu Kang. We know from his ending that [SPOILERS] taking back his power and title of Keeper of Time took a toll on his body. Nearly killing him and taking his immortality. And we know that Liu Kang had been a god for a good billions of centuries now. Even if was once a human, it’s not weird to think that after so long of being a Titan, he would’ve forgotten how aging felt. What it felt like to being able to die. Do you guys think he experienced something similar to body dysmorphia when he became mortal again? And that the same happened when he became a god the first time?
