The three primary uses of masks in film are entertainment, disguise and protection. From ancient Greek plays through Japanese Noh theater, masks are deeply intertwined in the universal language of entertainment and ritual, and its power as a transformative tool is so ritualized and timeworn that it is the unofficial logo for an entire artform. Since theater was an influence on early motion pictures (consider the framing and gestural acting of silent film), it figures that masks would be smuggled into movies, and some of the most enduring images from film history are now associated with masks. —Alex Vlahov

刘道长们……

A/N: OH i love this jaja, he would definitely understand why Raiden was so piss off sometimes when he and Kung Lao were his students, and now he lives it on the flesh. Since it didn't said headcanons or scenario i did a little of both! ((idk why the images doesn't work out in pc aaaa in my phone looks normal))

Dad! Liu Kang x Daughter! Reader

-You are Liu Kang's pride and joy, his little dragon, little flame. Everything. And he would anything to protect you and assure you have the best life.

-But your temper and recklessness? it was something he didn't expected. You were such a giggled playful baby, yes, and he knew that fatherhood and you growing up mean you would want to discover the world and learn new things around you. Even taking in interest in training beside your father.

-But he felt like every time he was gonna have a heart attack of how you would walk around dangerous things like nothing as he had to run after you and tell you to be more careful. And it was worse when you would pout angry and cross your arms or being stubborn about it.

-As you keep growing up he trough that you would shape you personality better, but it was the same. Of that didn't change anything about his love for you, but you were a vivid image of how grown up being like a son to Lord Raiden.

-You like to make the same jokes on him, worry him, act like the world was gonna be on your hands and worse when everybody around you said you would be the next chosen one. He always teach you to be humble and never get those things on your head, and you did well on that.

-But listen to your father advice about being cautious, waiting, knowing your enemy before an recklessness attack? no, you didn't and he would sigh or roll his eyes.

-Every time he scold you the image of Lord Raiden came to his mind. His younger self along Lao being a headache for the Lord of thunder always on his mind, and how even they were like sons to him, they were a duo of troublemaker the ex Earthrealmer protector had to keep on check.

-Specially at how Liu Kang always tried to be the hero as he knew being the chosen one has it's responsibilities, but he was stubborn as hell too, even when Lord Raiden tried to explain to him to keep himself on check.
