The Way Id Let This Man Inject Me With Experimental Serums Into My Bloodstream And Even Into My Bones

The way I’d let this man inject me with experimental serums into my bloodstream and even into my bones while giving me backshots is crazy!!

It’s a mental illness

Was not expecting to see this, but I've never been more happier to see them kiss again

.....however they all died

I will always love them

I was originally only gonna post this one on Xwitter but it did pretty well so here you guys go ✌️ [original under cut]

all credit for the original goes to this person on Xwitter pls show them love 🙏

in mk9 the fact that bi-han says that kuai liang is not worthy of the name sub-zero and that he wore those colors before him is kinda funny. like neither of them are human anymore and both the worst versions of themselves but kuai liang still bears the name “sub-zero” while bi-han has been renamed noob saibot. through the worst kuai liang is the one who keeps “sub-zero” while bi-han sinks further from reclaiming that name. kuai liang fundamentally changed the purpose of the name “sub-zero” that what sub-zero is now cannot be reclaimed by bi-han. through corruption kuai liang is sub-zero, and through redemption he changes sub-zero.

i mean this in a way that is not meant to belittle bi-han, but even if bi-han was able to retire from the lin kuei as sub-zero he would not have had the same impact on the name itself as kuai liang did. sure bi-han is a legendary assassin but kuai liang rewired everything. those colors are a bloody past to bi-han, but to kuai liang they are a reclaimed future.

kuai liang is just that guy. he broke a corrupt foundation and fought against himself and won. sub-zero is him.

Okay, so, I had to reread some of the mkx blood ties comics as research for a fic and:

Kuai Liang had just woken up, when Raiden sent him after the Kamidogu.

Like, it's never outright stated, but the implication is that Kuai Liang has literally just been resurrected. He's waking up after being a revenant for the first time since having his humanity restored.

And he's awake for all of 2 seconds before Raiden sends him on that sidequest.

Which, I mean, I hadn't forgotten that (for all that I choose to ignore it for the sake of Plot) but it still slaps me in the face every time.

Because that's pretty fucked up, right?

Kuai Liang's literal entire family is dead, he has nothing and no one left, has Just woken up free to think his own thoughts for the first time in actual years, has woken up From A Nightmare about being controlled by Quan Chi

And Raiden sends him after the Kamidogu while he's still trying to catch his breath

This is made all the worse by the fact that it is further implied that Hanzo got given a Kamidogu to protect around the same time, which would have been before Takeda joined at about 8, and when Hanzo and Takeda are sent (BY RAIDEN) after a possessed Kuai Liang, Takeda is a teenager

Which means that Kuai Liang was going after the Kamidogu for years, and given his skill, it wouldn't have taken him all of those years just to locate it, it would have taken months. A single year tops.

So he was probably possessed for years.

And the comics explicitly tells us (if I remember correctly, if I don't then they Heavily implied it) that Raiden knew Kuai Liang was possessed the whole time. But instead of sending help, Raiden sent Hanzo, who had just lost his entire clan AGAIN, and was fully ready to kill Kuai Liang, which Raiden would have to be a moron to not see coming.

I don't have a point to this rant, I just wanted to point out the fact that Kuai Liang has literally never gotten a single break in his life
