a/n: I’ve decided that, instead of simply putting my thoughts and headcanons and ideas as simple and quick drafts, to just instead start actually writing it all.
summary: Kuai Liang’s (Sub-Zero) last thoughts about Hanzo during the timeline resetting.
warnings: hurt/no comfort (?), canon character death, probably not properly tagged, angst. not necessarily written as couple, could be considered as platonic and viceversa.

It was all happening so fast. The world, disappearing around them. The trees, the sky, everything, all turning into nothing in mere seconds. Had Kronika won? For the Elder Gods, he begged not.
Maybe Liu Kang had won? Maybe he was now restarting everything with the Hourglass. Restart everything. All back to zero. Would he remember his life? Would he remember his family? His parents, his brothers, his friends and the people important for him. Would Kuai Liang be able to remember any of them? Probably not. But if he didn’t remember anything or anyone, what about…
Hanzo.
It felt weird. Knowing he would probably not remember him. That didn’t seemed all that fair, did it? After all their years of rivalry, of hatred. It took them more than 10 years to finally feel comfortable by each other’s side, to be able for Hanzo to let go of his rage. To manage it in a healthier way. And now, all of that effort would end up in the trash. Like garbage. It suddenly all felt useless. All that effort spent in helping each other and themselves, it would now all be thrown away.
And it made him feel indignation. On Hanzo’s behalf. On Bi-Han’s behalf.
This just wasn’t fair. Why couldn’t they all just have normal, peaceful lives? When had it all went to shit? Kuai Liang felt like a petulant child throwing a tantrum because he didn’t got the toy he wanted. But it still didn’t felt fair. Why couldn’t they just have peaceful, calm lives?
Bi-Han didn’t deserve to get blamed and murdered for crimes he didn’t commit. Hanzo didn’t deserve to have his family murdered, get tricked by that sorcerer and have his rage be misguided for years. Didn’t they deserve a happy ending too? When did things get so complicated?
‘I wonder what you would think, Hanzo. Would you be angry too, if you were still here?’
Maybe, in this new timeline, things will be better. Maybe Bi-Han won’t suffer for something he didn’t do. Maybe Smoke won’t die this time. Maybe Hanzo…
Or maybe they wouldn’t even know each other this time. Or maybe this whole train of thoughts was useless after all.
Mk1 Incorrect Quotes pt. 8:
Liu Kang as a (human) child: “I can’t wait to grow up and have cool adventures!”
Liu Kang now: “I can’t wait to go to sleep.”
Tiktok has pissed me off,
MK is not a minor.
If your only legitimate argument about plumsynoodles or Peachynoodles is the power dynamic than I’m sorry to say then any fucking ship with Sun Wukong needs to be highly criticised because he is an over thousand year old God who heaven itself fears as equals. Anything with that monkey is a complete power imbalance.
Macaque and Sun themselves would have an unhealthy power dynamic as a ship because there’s cannon evidence that Monkey King has both physically and mentally dominated and beaten Macaque, if not to death then severely enough to cause flash backs and hallucinations in combat. Monkey King by your logic should have no healthy happy ship because he fundamentally outpowers anyone especially mortal in every fucking sense of the word.
Macaque literally worked with the being who caused the most harming fear in SWK and your gonna act like their just happily gonna cuddle after they’ve screamed each other to sleep?
The imbalance of power between Sun Wukong and any character is literally what separates him from everyone else, and it’s MK’s ignoring and uncaring of that power that’s allowed him to talk to and reach both SWK and Macaque on emotional levels
The power dynamic is a weak defence when everyone fucking recognises it and makes it a factor in a lot of relational focus I’ve seen from MK x SWK content
“Sure all the subtext and cannon evidence leads me to understand mk isn’t a minor but I’m gonna ignore that to push my opinion” If your going to pick and chose what to ignore so can everyone else
While having to go into hiding, after having come back to life the first time, Yuji probably cooked apology meals for Gojo.
As he’s had to fetch for himself, since his grandpa was old and sick, Yuji probably learned to cook his own meals. His love language, besides being overly affectionate and attentive, was probably to cook meals for his loved ones.
I can see Yuji bringing homemade meals to his grandpa during the first few months. And I’m sure that he tried to apologize to Gojo for having to be the one taking care of him by cooking him meals too with whatever he had on hand.
Whenever he was running low on ingredients, if Gojo didn’t catch him trying to sneak out to the market, he would probably ask his sensei for some supplies that he was needing, despite how much he hated having to make his sensei run out for errands over and over again.
Yuji definitely cooked for him to the best of his abilities, and Gojo adored his meals every time.
Why has nobody talked about the fact that he made sure the tournament would be death-free? Liu Kang literally grabbed what robbed him and his friends of a chance for a better life, and remade it.
Why has nobody talked about it yet?
(Not)Friendly reminder that [SPOILERS FOR MK11] Takeda never knew that Hanzo, his adoptive father figure died. Before the reset, he might had been wondering what was happening. Where was his mentor?
Did Takeda and Kung Jin even knew about the whole Kronika thing? I don’t think so.

I love this fanfic so much that I made some drawings about my favorite scene from the first chapter, interpreting the scene my way
I recommend it!
The name of the fanfic is:
the heroine is annoying, but she dies spectacularly at the end

Sorry for my english, I used Google translator.

Enserio amé este fanfic, esta en inglés pero su trama es muy interesante, hice unos dibujos de la escena que más me emociono del primer capítulo. Lo recomiendo totalmente! No está completo pero vale la pena esperar cada capítulo ^•^
i didn't want to draw the other eye

Do you think that Liu Kang made everyone 100 times hotter than in his original timeline, that he banned all ugliness in his creation because he had been through so much that he deserved beauty in his timeline?
