Defenders of the Realms

Your Li Mei is so cute!! She looks so young! How old is she? I loved the tooth gap! Gives personality! Also, dunno if it's accurate, but she makes me think of the word, spitfire! Like, if I were to describe her in a word, it would be this one! Loved her!!💜

And for Jade, woah, she's stunning! I loved the hairstyle! Tati Gabrielle inspired, you said? This one?

And the face too! Does that mean you approve her as Jade now? (I remember you being skeptical) If you reply to this, please, keep it spoilers free, I haven't seen the movie yet😭 but so far it seems she's being well received! Which makes me happy! I was rooting for her!!🥹💚

Also, loved what you're cooking with Soul Magik here!👀💚

Also, also!

Not to be ATLA obsessed on main (though I know that's impossible, I AM ATLA obsessed on main) but this gives me such Princess Yue vibes!

This au is a Cole Young friendly verse. He’s included (but not until much later, I want to cover what’s already in the 13 episodes we have already), he won’t potentially die off and he gets to hang out with the MK cast.

I try to create some Shirai Ryu ocs but damn it's hard because the clan is so vague . We have MK:Mythology focusing solely on the Lin Kuei already, i would dig a game that only focuses on the Shirai Ryu lore - and hell it doesn't have to be all about Hanzo, I just want to know wtf is that clan about to vouch for it.

Maybe I just obsess with clan hierarchy, lore and structures due to my old Warrior Cats obsession day but yeah, just a sliver of my thought about Shirai Ryu and Hanzo

(Ps: English is not my native language so bear with me the jumbled words)

Ex: *inspect a brown spot on the floor*

*info box pops out * "Kano bashed someone's head in right here , not sure of what cause, probably his blood soaked into the floor, we tried to mop the mess up but the stain refuses to fade. Kinda ruins the aesthetic of the place."

*side quest unlock* *Clean up the bloodstains*

*List acquire: 1) Find a mop* (idk I'd love to do stupid small side quests like these along with the exploration)

Indeed you may (sorry for answering this so late)

For the record, my Lin Kuei bros include Kuai Liang, Bi-Han, Tomáš, and Hydro along with occasionally Cyrax

Cyrax joined the Lin Kuei as an adult and is the only semi-sane person in the entire clan. He makes it a point to introduce the other Lin Kuei bros, who were kidnapped as kids, to various treats and fun experiences that normal ppl would have whenever they are on missions together and away from the clan. This has lead to all four of them being really good at making Botswanan food (Cyrax is from Botswana according to canon)

Bi-Han was obsessed with Pokemon as a kid and has a secret hoard of cards. His favorite pokemon as a kid was Totodile but now it is Phantump (there is a reason for that and it is sad)

Bi-Han also got his ears pierced while on a long term mission once, with like, six different piercings, and still has the earrings he wore even though the holes have long since closed up. He got the piercings bc A) self expression and B) He wanted to look like his mom and sister.

Kuai Liang's sweet tooth is actually terrifying. He can smell sweet things (Candy, cookies, ice cream, etc) from several rooms away and Will tackle someone in order to get some. He's got more restraint about it now than he did as a kid, but Bi-Han does have a scar on his bicep from Kuai Liang biting him to get at his milkshake

Tomáš likes to sew and is particularly good at embroidery. after he gets resurrected from being a revenant, he embroiders a bunch of flowers into his armor as a way of symbolizing new beginnings

Hydro can sleep anywhere: On concrete, in a pool, in an airvent, hanging upside down from the ceiling, etc. If he is tired, he will sleep and you cannot wake him unless he's in danger.

Who else looks at photos of Baraka and immediately thinks “smash?” /j

Hyperfixation alive, kicking, and fully directed at all the gals, especially the underrated ones! I care for them (*cough cough* more than NRS does) this is their safe space!✨️💕
