Kuai Liang

How could someone grieve someone they've never lost? Someone that hurt you, betrayed your trust and overall, dissappointed you?

Kuai Liang was not saddened of Bi-Han's lost, in fact, it served him right. Having killed their father, brainwash the Lin Kuei into having an insane nationalist thrive for conquest and murder. When they were made to serve, not to rule. So good riddance, Lord Liu Kang knew best.

Then why, at this unholy hour, he found the air suffocating enough he had to escape his bedchambers into the cold air. For he couldn't sleep? Why, even as he reminded himself that Bi-Han's death was necesary and good, his brother's face as he was drained of life was the only thing on his mind? How, that man, that had once looked at him with pride, had become something quite too difficult to name.

A corpse.

In his lifetime, he had seen plenty, he was a warrior, after all. And yet, he could not handle this one.

He could not handle to see his expression frozen not in a mask of peace, but in one that suggested he had been gasping for air at the last moment. Stuck, in time, by a god, his body stiff and his mouth blue. His eyelids, sunken, had made his deep stare turn into a disturbing look of shock. And every night, it haunted him into throwing up.

His body was wracked with trembling, screaming the memories away because how dare he grieve for someone who was evil? To feel his stomach churn because his brother was no more?

How to make sense of the pain when the two Bi-Han's on his mind contradicted each other like lies and truths.

For that one time Kuai Liang had forgotten to slid the door shut, and the wind and snow invaded their home and chaos insued and their mother turned around with a fury that scared all, Bi-Han did not even allow Kuai Liang to admit to it. Instead, he took a step forward and said. "It was me."

For they had lashed Bi-Han until his calves bled, and he said nothing. Didn't even accept a thanks.

He had been ten back then

How did that noble, brave attitude distort itself into villainy? Kuai Liang's heart burned with hatred, and bled with love.

Because in the cold, his face pressed against his brother's chest as hypothermia ensued. He knew he would always be safe.

For the hand that served food first and would eat last and less for his brothers even as he disguised it as not being hungry.

For the hand that lifted the knife that scarred his face forever and accused disloyalty.

But he wasn't saddened with his death. No.

Kuai Liang was a miracle/rainbow baby.

Kuai Liang is my beloved and I love him BUT he’s always getting favoured treatment in regards to his backstory and development so I’m gonna add more to it.

I can’t guess AT ALL what the gap between all the brothers truly is, initially I thought Tomáš would be the middle child with baby brother Kuai Liang but that seems to be replaced with Tomáš being the baby and Kuai Liang being the middle child, but it’s whatever.

Regardless, by birth and Lin Kuei's bloodline, he is the youngest and my guess is that they have a 3-5 year age difference. Once Kuai was born, he was always regarded as more special because of the tragedy before his birth (multiple tragedies I suppose). Bi-Han did not have the kindest of childhoods, even if he can't remember all of it, because when he saw his baby brother for the first time he was overjoyed. His parents were happy, nobody was yelling at him and he saw his father genuinely smile all the time holding baby Kuai. The birth of the younger brother was a cause for a huge celebration and the years following were of prosperity for the clan.

For Bi-Han there wasn't really any jealousy towards Kuai Liang, that was his baby brother whom he loved so so much, but that didn't mean that he didn't notice how his parents gave the younger more attention due to the discovery of his pyromancy, which was Bi-Han's guess but only one of the factors for the increased attention.

Though physical training didn't begin until later, academics and lessons were still taught with just as much as a set schedule as one would expect of crown princes, he WAS the heir for THE grandmaster title and role, he had to study and be knowledgeable just as much psychically skilled.

When it came time for physical training and honing the skills of ice, the Grandmaster wasn't one to discriminate his teaching style or let anyone baby Bi-Han just because he was the heir, if anything he was given more burden and responsibility to train harder.

*Sorry for the tangent, I promise I'll go back to my original thesis*

So little Bi-Han had been studying and then eventually training, so once his lessons were done he loved rushing to find his brother so that they could play because duh they are children, and of course, baby Kuai loved seeing his older brother and spending time together.

The realization of how different expectations were set for them was when Kuai Liang didn't have to spend as long in lessons, had their father help him out or their mother would vouch to ease on certain training exercises, not to mention whenever Fire Lord Liu Kang visited, he too would spend more time with Kuai Liang (Bi-Han was obviously busy in training and lessons).

The more favoured treatment and kindness Kuai Liang received from everyone, especially his parents put together the puzzle pieces in Bi-Han's mind that his brother had something he didn't, but he couldn't figure out what it was but he knew that they were definitely not treated the same.

You know when younger siblings do stuff but older siblings get blamed, yeah you can't tell me Kuai Liang didn't get away with stuff by looking at their parents with his beautiful brown eyes (he can do no wrong) but that meant that Bi-Han often got those punishments which usually resulted in longer and more strenuous training with a sprinkle of memorizing more of realm texts and geographical maps (idk what a clan of "Earthrelm defenders" study). BUT, Kuai would sneak in treats or snacks to cheer up his brother, who could never really stay mad at him for long.

Now onto the more fun part, Tomáš. Obviously, the guilt of Lin Kuei being responsible for killing Tomáš' family was a lot for the grandmaster so the treatment of Tomas was quite similar to Kuai Liang. I wanna they were like 8/10/15 respectively at the time Tomáš was taken in.

The real differences were too hard to ignore at this point because his father so clearly favoured Kuai Liang and now Tomáš, and well to any angsty teenager eventually you have to have had enough.

Now Bi-Han may have had a more complicated relationship with his father , whom he saw as a "Grandmaster" an older authority figure more than a parent but his mother was his safe space, when Tomáš came into their lives, their mother knew that this child just lost his family and must have felt compelled to give him the same love as her own children. Kuai Liang, who we've seen in Canon is usually a Tomáš supporter, is no different here, yes at first he was confused but like most kids, you play with each other here and there and you become friends.

“Aw cheer up, luv, it’s all good. You’re perfect just the way you are.”

**Kano’s reactions to his S/O feeling insecure or unworthy, inadequate, etc. POSSIBLE TRIGGER WARNING!*

-Kano is usually very prideful and sure of himself most of the time. So seeing his significant other half the complete opposite is a huge blow to his ego.

-When his S/O says they feel small, insignificant or inadequate or unworthy, his instincts are full blown telling him that this shouldn’t be happening. He’s eager to remind them that they’re perfectly capable. 

-He makes little jokes and little pushes to ease his S/O back to their old selves again.

-He will 100% hug his S/O close and remind them how much they mean to him. 

-If he sees that you’re not a strong contender to fight, he is willing to train you to get better. If that doesn’t work, he will accept you either way. He’ll likely make you do light stuff, like working behind Black Dragon HQ’s Bar or even mop up the blood in the fight cage’s floor.

⌛️ - How often does your muse think about death? Do they think about it at all?

//Since you fidnt specify muse I will just answer for both

Before the Kronika mess, Baraka didnt think much about death since it's a tark true calling is to die in the midst battle. After returning from the dead and learning about what happened go his people, he thinks about it constantly but mainly keeps those thoughts to himself. He knows he needs to stay alive to protect his people, especially his family.

Kabal and gender neutral SO adopting a child (for anonymous)

-Considering that being a Black Dragon member isn’t exactly a good role model, he finds out how to leave clandestinely and quietly.

-When he takes his job as a cop, he feels better on the safety of his family.

-When you tell Kabal you wish to adopt, he isn’t fond of the idea at first, but depending on the situation he will relent. That being fertility issues, your health or other factors.

-Regardless, when the time is right to adopt, he is more than willing to raise their adopted child with you. He will be disappointed it isn’t his own flesh and blood but he will accept the kid.

-He will raise the child as his own however with you. He knows that it wouldn’t be right to simply abandon the child

Sindel

Whip my hair by Willow plays in the background.

MILF. Call her that tho and she’ll break your ankles.

Probably chugs peoples tears when they complain about how strong and beautiful she is.

Is also a bitch. Grade A would knock your ice cream out of your hand for fun.
