Scaryspears - Apple Bottom Queen

Welcome to the real world, Jackass!

I love how Terry didn't look the least bit offended when Kenny flipped the bird at him.

A part of me likes to believe he sort of saw Kenny as a surrogate son, or at least could've been. I always saw Terry as Kenny's Miyagi, and I can picture Kenny (when Dallas was still small) following Terry around. Terry (though manipulative) is more soft and sympathetic than Kreese was. Terry was probably the 'nicer' one.

Yes, Robby trained Kenny most of the time with the addition of Tory, but I'm pretty sure he was more of a brotherly figure. Terry had the mentor title because not only was he much older, but he could teach things Robby didn't know.

Like, Daniel was someone to torment, whereas Kenny's mentorship was genuine. There was a bond forming between them. Edit: Kenny and Daniel both have big brown eyes. Makes me wonder, if Daniel wasn't an enemy, would Terry have treated Daniel like he treated Kenny? Even with the coke in his system?

When Kenny flips the bird it's like seeing your child be rebellious, and while you could get mad, it's also adorable. No matter what, you'll remember them for the little kid they once were. Regardless of whether or not their anger is valid, that's your little boy/girl.

He didn't look disappointed or angered, it was more like a 'well, damn'.

Writing Chubby Reader

Dear writers,

When writing a chubby reader why does she have to be insecure? Do you all look at a plus size/chubby person and assume they don't like their body? The reader is looking for something they can relate to, and being chubby doesn't mean insecurity. People who are considered skinny also have insecurities, amongst a bunch of average people.

It's one of the reasons why readers have specific requests. For example, whenever I'm reading a normal reader post I get the impression that I reading it in a white person's perspective, which is why I occasionally request black reader, that doesn't mean I'm insecure about my blackness, I just want something I can relate to. So why is it when I read chubby and plus size reader she is an insecure mess? I'm not chubby but I like reading chubby reader because I expect the beauty standards to be challenged, and I'm a sucker for body positivity, only for the enjoyment to be ruined once I get to the insecure part.

There are a ton of plus size women who are not insecure about their body and yet this fact seems to fly over the writer's head.

I was bullied, yet I'm able to acknowledge that I deserve better, that I am normal. I get that times have changed for some and circumstances concerning support is different for everyone, but this crap is getting really old.

Edit: There's more I'd like to add and clarify. I understand that this post has already gotten a lot of attention but I'd like to make more notes. I find it bothersome that a chubby reader always has to be a victim of bullying, people have been bullied for other things. Such as being too skinny, their ethnic background, disabilities and so much more. It's as if writers lack creativity when writing chubby/plus size reader. It's actually quite sad that they see chubby people in this fashion and the fact that they've reduced a reader's request to this level. Unless someone requested their insecurity it's not necessary.

The Trix vs The Wizards of the Black Circle

Bellatrix, Andromeda, Narcissa headcanons

Bellatrix has always been a little not alright, but never anything too severe. Most would say she was a bully, but so was Sirius based on whatever stories she heard about him in passing.

Bellatrix didn't get along well with Sirius, but she hoped he would clean himself up soon. He would deny it, but they were very much alike. He could be rehabilitated.

However, that started to change once Andromeda was burnt off. All for that muggle. Bellatrix hoped it was worth it, for Andros' sake. Sirius was burnt off in a blink, and Bella could do nothing but focus on herself.

Then Regulus died. This time it was different. Regulus was her dearest, and most precious baby cousin. Gone just like that.

If Bellatrix didn't get to have her loved ones, then neither did mudbloods. That included anyone that supported them.

Andromeda couldn't stand crazies. If she stayed in this family any longer she would become it.

The constant comparisons. The high expectations. The fake smiles, and high alertness.

She hated it. She could never trust anyone, knowing they were after something. If one couldn't go to Bella, they'd go to Andro. She was the backup plan, and always the backup. 2nd in command. Should anything happen to Bellatrix, Andromeda knew what to do.

Backhanded compliments. Gossiping behind her back. The hateful obsession with muggles. Mudbloods have never done anything to her, so there was no need to hunt them.

Ted wasn't just any old Hufflepuff. If that had truly been the case, she would've married a bloody Macmillan. Ted's kindness was influenced by his survival mode.

His kindness was always genuine, but his eyes were watchful, patient of any slight of hand. A peaceful life would be nice. So nice. She really could just disappear.

Narcissa absolutely had to be seen. She wanted to shine bright too. Unfortunately, she was her mother's daughter. Birthed for her mother to dote on, while Bellatrix and Andromeda were raised to be the perfect heiress'. Narcissa couldn't be the same, but she would show everyone that she was perfect. She would prove it. And prove it she did. She chose her husband wisely, and she played her cards correctly.

Narcissa Black is a clueless blonde? So be it. She would teach others to never underestimate her. Whether it was the personality she presented, or what was on her mind, it shall never be questioned again.

Although it was cruel, she took pride in it. While she missed her sisters dearly, it was great knowing she was the one who survived. Narcissa knew it was stupid to get the mark, and she knew the toxicity given to her was a sign of jealousy. She completed what both of them couldn't do. She handled what both of them couldn't handle.

Any influence she spread was through her husband. Her dearest lover and tool.

This time when family or anyone of importance saw her, there was hope. Admiration. She was seen and not heard, just the way that she liked it.

Finn and Sage's Wasted Potential

Am I the only one that was peeved that Finn was killed because I did find him pretty interesting. Like, his younger siblings are all fine being evil masterminds and stuff, but not him. It doesn't mean he's better, but he does have standards. He had potential, even more so with the fact that he had a relationship with Sage of all people. The same woman who taught Damon to use people as play things and not just food. It makes you wonder.

You'd think that Damon would see Sage as some kind of teacher figure, or that Sage was his Lexi in a way. I'm not saying Damon would have loyalty to her, but be more reluctant when it comes to killing Finn because it means going against Sage.

It could also address the fact that Damon was once like Finn, in a way. I don't remember a lot because it's been years, so bear with me. If I remember correctly, it's Damon that didn't want to turn and was fine with dying, pretty much loathing his own existence, but Stefan forced him to drink blood. Damon's only reason for turning was to be with Katherine, and Katherine not only preferred Stefan, but got Damon on some kind of wild goose chase.

Fast forward to Augustine, and turning off his emotions, leading to the Damon we have today. Granted, the writers probably didn't come up with Augustine during the 3rd season, but it's a thought.

Sure, Damon has had enjoyable banter with a lot of the Mikaelsons, but Finn could've been the one that actually posed a threat to Damon. Emotionally and psychologically. Elijah is the calm and composed one, but Finn is all no nonsense and full of rage. Finn cannot be reasoned with, but does have sense. He isn't the fear mongering Klaus, the reserved Elijah, the invading and reshaping Rebekah, or the chaotic Kol, but Finn is a force of his own. No matter how obvious he seems, he's a mystery.

If they couldn't make Finn interesting on his own, then they could've given him something to work with by giving him a history with another character.

What could've made it better is that Finn isn't like the others. If anyone says something out of pocket or offensive, he doesn't act violently, nor does he threaten them. It could show just how mature he actually is. I didn't fully watch the Originals, so maybe his already existing character contradicts this.

Back to my Damon ramble, Finn could've been something new for him. Unpredictable. He doesn't operate on self-importance like his siblings (and other vampires), but self loathing. You never really know what's going to trigger him, and you don't know if he's going to be an enemy or ally. Finn could've been a catalyst to Damon questioning his own morals and stuff. He keeps giving himself to people who don't appreciate it, and it was seen right in Dangerous Liasons. Damon goes out of his way to protect and fight for people who don't see that, which sort of puts him on the Bonnie boat. What I mean is that Damon almost became like his abusers. Using people, or letting himself be used. Usually the latter. Why does Damon do this to people? Why does Damon do this for people? Why is Damon willing to die for these people? That kind of thing.

Finn doesn't let himself be used (unless it's his mother), nor does he use people. He finds no purpose in it. Damon would be going against a man that would find no enjoyment in 'teaching him a lesson'. Damon wouldn't be sure what to do against a man that barely reacts to his jabs.

Also, Finn seemed to be the only one that didn't care that Kol got his arse handed to him, just curious. The other Mikaelsons looked mildly offended at the blatant disrespect, yet Finn wasn't the least bit bothered.

It just makes me wonder what kind of person he is, and what could've been. Why he fell in love with Sage, a person that taught Damon to be disregarding of human life. I've got many questions.

Dairou has Potential

I'm talking about the one from the Midway era, not Havik.

I don't understand the Dairou hate. I understand that he is a forgettable character, but once I heard his backstory I didn't think he was so forgettable. His backstory is similar to Scorpion, but for Dairou I think there's no complicated magic involved, which makes him seem boring in comparison.

I think Dairou has some potential. I mean, he used to believe in the Seidan beliefs until he was wronged, punished for killing the man that killed his family. Leaves prison a changed man, becomes an assassin before joining the resistance, unknowingly working for the guy that ordered the hit on his family.

Scorpion's only objective is avenging his family and clan, but Dairou's is about being against the authority that wronged him. Being against Hotaru's extremist views, and becoming a puppet of Darrius.

I think most of the hate comes from the fact that none of the 3D era characters are given enough attention, thus are not given enough to work with. NRS' idea of 'continuing' the story is having Dairou become the new Havik, and have his motives be driven by anarchy.

Kira and Sonya: Headcanon

WARNING: I'M GONNA GO ON A LONG RANT

The somewhat forgotten character of Mortal Kombat. Kira is a product of her time, the Midway era. Love or hate her, there was potential. Kira is evidently a blend of Sonya and Kano, yet there is zero explanation for why. So, it's time to make a giant headcanon.

Kira and Sonya were trained by the same master, if we're going with the Midway era of everyone knowing Kung Fu or some other Asian Martial Art. Like any old teacher with morals, she sprouted about the good stuff and being fair. Kira was like a YN, she didn't care about all that. She's not learning martial arts to protect or defend, but to harm (growing up with bad people probably influenced this, creating a similarity with Skarlet) for her own self gain. Once this became more evident, especially with her bad attitude, and rebellious nature that reeks of fatherless behaviour. Sonya recognises this, and tells off Kira for having that mentality. In her mind she's looking out for Kira, but Kira takes it as a personal insult, and starts to believe Sonya looks down on "people like her".

On one fateful training match, Kira is pitted against Sonya. Kira's only ambition was to win, and to deliver a pain to Sonya that made her wish she never opened her mouth. That's not what happens, though. Sonya lays her flat on her ass, and Kira's ego is crushed. Every time she sees Sonya she starts to feel hate instead of just annoyance and frustration.

We find a revelation of why Kira was attending Kung Fu lessons in the first place. She wants to become an underground fighter, or already is an underground fighter making ends meet. She decides to forget the whole "fight fair" thing and bring a weapon with her, which may or may not be against the rules. She wins, of course. The only thing that Kira could remember is how great it felt to succeed, no matter how dirty the method was. This is where Kabal recruits her, seeing a power and cruelty he is eager to raise like his own (Kabal's a dad now).

Kira becomes obsessed, vowing to one day prove Sonya wrong. As much as she hates Sonya, she seeks something from her. Approval? Respect? It's something she doesn't focus too much on, otherwise she'd have to confront herself.

She joins the black dragon under Kabal's guidance, and Kano even teaches her a few things. Unlike Sonya, she doesn't value relations nor does she grow attached to anyone.

She's pretending loyalty to the black dragon, but as soon as Kano gets close to Sonya, Kira will not hesitate to take the opportunity for herself.

Sonya and Kira are much like Kitana and Mileena. One is original, and a highly respected person, with the other one being a cracked reflection. There is Chaos and Order, but Kira is the resistance against Order. Born from Order, but influenced by the love of Chaos.

It's pretty simple. Order, Chaos and Resistance, with resistance being a toss and turn of both, choosing one element to serve the other: Like using Chaos to bring Order, or using Order to bring Chaos.

Jax (Order), Kano (Chaos), Johnny (Resistance against Chaos)

Sub-Zero (Order), Sektor (Chaos) Frost (Resistance against Order)

Sonya (Order), Kabal (Chaos), Kira (Resistance against Order)

The sad part is, Sonya doesn't think of Kira once, while Sonya lives rent free in Kira's mind.
