So...i Wrote A Fic For The First Time In Four Years...and It's On Ao3. I'm Not Too Good At The Whole

so...i wrote a fic for the first time in four years...and it's on ao3. i'm not too good at the whole self promotion thing but hey, might as well tell some people i wrote something! i'm trying to ease into writing longer shit and more complex fics with plot, but first we got this: a mondo-centric sorta thing? a bit of exploration with his character and daiya’s death, nothing much, but i found it super interesting when I was listenting to kendrick lamar then suddenly realized i had to write fic and write it IMMEDIATELY.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SPECIALIST AND MOST REALIST GUY MONDO!!!!!!

AAAAA WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN WITH HIM???? he’s so criminally underrated as himself, his own character. he’s so fascinating considering how much he cared and desired to protect others yet became victim to his own ego, how strangely chill he can be at times while being so aggressive. He and Kiyotaka reminded me of strange aspects of myself, my overachieving aspect and my struggles with social interaction and not being the loudest and most awkward bitch in the room. UH ANYWAY happy birthday mondo ilyyyyyy my silly guy

The urge to write fanfic of mastermind mondo with a dabble with ishimondo is so STRONG. Think of not only the betrayal, but how Taka is like the antithesis of that damn school and sorta despair(in a way??). Doesn’t wanna be called a genius, wants to think the best of people and assume they’re just as righteous as he is with the same values(I mean…it’s kinda arrogance and naivety…never forget the “murderer raise their hand” idea he had, BUT it’s from a good place!) until they strongly prove otherwise. He has hope, and djfjfjjfjrjrjrjrkjk guys just imagine with me PLEASE how good this can get. Do you SEE my vision?!??!

Nick drives me fucking crazy because the first chapter was literally just “Gatsby’s not like other girls :(“ STOP SUCKING HIS DICK HES IN LOVE WITH YOUR COUSIN!!!! HES DOWN SO BAD ITS PATHETIC!!! Nick stop being a funky gay dude challenge IMPOSSIBLE.

I’ve been thinking of Kung Lao, not just MK1 but generally as a whole, and how he’s always pushed aside—number two. In some ways nothing is ever really his. Liu Kang, his best friend, becomes a god and goes onto to make a different timeline and stay there, and before that he got to be Earthrealm’s champion(in mk11 Liu Kang seemed like everything anyone EVER talked about with him). And of course it’s beyond that too: his name isn’t even his(“descendant of the great Kung Lao”), and his destiny and goals seemed to be based a lot on something predetermined for him, it’s a bit tragic.

HALFWAY THROUGH THE FINALS, IM MAKING IT BITCHES!!!!
