he's my fav
my everything
Idk who needs to hear this (I do), but if everyone had a happy life where nothing went wrong ever, there wouldn't be a story to tell.
Not to mention a big facet of MK1 that is repeated, IDK how many times, is that Liu Kang gave everyone the freedom to choose. He laid the foundation for existence and then stepped back. Shang Tsung and Quan Chi made the decisions that led to them being a conman and a coal miner. Liu Kang didn't put them there. They put themselves there.
That scene where they're blaming him for their problems? That is them, deliberately choosing to shirk responsibility for their own actions and shifting the blame onto him because it is easier to believe that a Time God, who isn't even a Time God anymore, was conspiring against them the whole time than to believe that they are faced with the same consequences as everyone else. They would rather scheme and plot to get to power than get there honorably - and they end up doing the latter anyway once the ruse is discovered.
That is not the writer saying, "Hey! Look at this plot hole! Isn't Liu Kang petty for punishing them for a past that doesn't exist anymore?" That is the writer saying, "This is the type of personality that these two have. One of no accountability. One who believes that their problems are everyone elses fault." Because again, if you were paying attention to the story, and not taking that one scene out of context, you would have put Liu Kang giving up his timekeeping powers long before they came along together with the fact that they ended up where they are on their own.
The entire point to the story is that we choose our own destinies. That's what Mortal Kombat has always been about.
You may not like this story. You may even have valid criticism of it. But this is what they were trying to convey the entire time you were thirsting over Bi-Han's arms or Johnny Cage's ass.
Please listen to me and help my family 🙏💔
Im Mohammed Alhabil from Gaza , I am a father of three young children "Ahmed , Osama , Mira ", My wife and I are trying as much as possible to save what remains of our children’s childhood.
We lost our home, all our dreams and memories were destroyed, and everything we built over the past years was lost. We have become without shelter or a place to live or live in. 😞💔
PLEASE HELP AND STAND BY US
We were displaced from Gaza to Rafah at the beginning of the war, and we survived the genocide that occurred, We somewhat found some peace there as it was a safe area, but unfortunately, after Rafah was attacked, we left under bombing, destruction, and gunfire.
My children and I saw death, and we were displaced again. To Nuseirat, as it is somewhat a safe area, but there is no safety after the attack on Nuseirat a month ago. We have lived an unforgettable experience of fear, death, and genocide, and now I wish that everything would end and that I and my young children would be saved from all of this. They have no fault in what is happening, so I created the link so that they can have a better life and escape this genocide that is stalking them and eliminating their childhood 💔💔
So please, I am speaking to the human inside you. Please help me and my children survive this war and do everything you can to help me through this 🙏🙏💔

Please help us start a new life away from everything that is happening and live in peace with my innocent children ❤🍉
and very, very often, self care is not plants and ice rollers and fluffy blankets of peace.
it’s standing over your kitchen sink and crying while doing the dishes because you just want to go back to bed but the dishes need done. and you don’t know why you’re crying but you're trusting you need it. and you aren’t listening to the music that pulls you into a spiral; you’re listening to some cheerful shit your friend sent you. it’s getting up and staring at your fridge and closing your eyes and then cooking yourself food even though you hate it and it’s miserable. because you know that you’d cook for your friend, and you are trying to befriend yourself. it’s dragging yourself into the shower because you know you’ll feel better afterwards. it’s doing mundane tasks with patience, cursing under your breath, trying desperately to give yourself grace. grace is the beginning of care. care is the beginning of love.
we think it’s supposed to be peace and yet the most powerful self care moments are when we hate everything but especially ourselves. and life does not feel worth the loving. to look into that pain and yet choose to care for yourself in however many pieces you are — that is care. love. grace. trust. belief. it hurts because it’s love where there was no love before. it heals because it believes there will be love, one day, soon.
I love him sm
