General Shao (Childhood) Headcanon

General Shao (Childhood) Headcanon 

Warning: mentions of child abuse, bullying, terrible parent

Ever since General Shao’s backstory was revealed on the website I’ve believed he had a terrible (borderline hellish) childhood. 

To recap, Shao had the enthusiasm and brilliance to be a great warrior, but his body was too sickly to handle the physical training. Shao’s father did not like this and decided to design a strenuous program to build Shao’s strength. On the surface, there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong but I believe Shao went through awful circumstances that made him the man he is. 

In Outworld, especially in professions that involve fighting, strength is considered the most important thing for a person. No doubt Shao’s father, a renowned Outworld general, would express these ideals and hate the reality of one of his children being considered weak. He would do anything to ensure his legacy was considered strong, which he did by ignoring Shao’s physicians and crafting a training program that could potentially worsen Shao’s condition. 

Because of his family’s reputation, Shao would be tormented by other children. Being pushed around and called worthless or a “sorry excuse to his family tree.” This would fester Shao’s anger and his drive to become stronger like his father, so he’s willing to go through the program. 

In other people’s eyes the program would be considered abusive, but Shao saw it as his father caring about him. He would excuse the days long training, survival training alone in the woods, his father’s harsh words, and not letting Shao eat or drink until he perfected his moves. 

Shao would also inherit his father’s demented beliefs in what being a warrior is and what Outworld needed. He would hear his father complain about the kingdom’s alliance with Liu Kang, hearing him call the fire god a “scoundrel” and “the bringer of Outworld’s downfall.” He’d be taught that domination is the true way to live rather than peace, compassion is considered weakness, death in battle is the greatest honor, and the only way to fight is on your terms. 

(Some of Shao’s intros inspired this headcanon, such as one of his intros with Liu Kang where he admits that he’s wanted to kill Liu Kang all his life, and an intro with Reiko where he tells him, “fight on your terms or don’t fight at all.” Also, Shao’s disgusted reaction to Raiden offering to help him to his feet after their fight inspired the part about Shao being taught that compassion is weakness.) 

Unfortunately Shao never learned that his father’s behavior was abuse since the bullying he faced stopped after being able to defend himself, instead he continues this cycle with Reiko. When it comes to his relationship with Reiko, I believe Shao cares about Reiko like a son but only learned how to express love through his father. He saw his old self in Reiko and wanted to share his feelings of strength with the young boy. He trained Reiko the same way as his father did to him and the results were the same- Reiko became a great warrior. I don’t think he’s manipulating Reiko to tame Onaga; Shao genuinely believes that his young ward is capable of doing the task, but thinks Reiko dying would be okay since his father taught him that dying in battle is an honor. Hopefully if Reiko dies taming Onaga (it’s highly possible with how powerful and rabid Onaga is), Shao lowers his guard and shows genuine care for Reiko. At least a sweet goodbye or a burial scene where we see him mourning his lost ward/son. 

I don’t think Shao would be redeemed if my headcanon turned out to be true, but I would hope that other characters would learn about his past and use it as a cautionary tale on how striving for strength is not worth losing your humanity. The possible tragedy Shao’s story could take would be interesting, especially when Liu Kang somewhat created the beginning of Shao’s life to give him the chance for redemption, yet it’s someone Liu never considered that turned Shao into the person he is.

My Version of the Hamato Family

Hi everyone! Thank you for reading and liking part one. It made my day!

So, this is where I shine in writing. I love creating characters and their backstory; it’s so fun. I think it is more important to focus on characters than the plot since a character can create the storyline- well at least for me.

I’m excited to share! Hope you enjoy!

Comment your thoughts! It would be cool to read them! 😁

……………………..

image

 Leonardo:

We’re starting with the usual leader-in-blue!

Although I adore Leo, his “perfect” personality can get a little boring. His versions usually have flaws, though they are the kind that makes you sympathize with him rather than feeling indifferent like with Raph’s anger issues.

Season 1 Leo would be a toned-down Rise Leo. He can be cocky when he succeeds over his brothers and would jokingly comment how he is Splinter’s favorite. However, it doesn’t come without hard work. Leo trains the most out of his brothers and spends most of his time studying fighting techniques. He is not naturally talented in ninjitsu like the past incarnations. Also, Leo’s motivations for training very hard and wanting to be leader is more for himself than anything.

Compared to his brothers, Leo was relatively average. Donnie was extremely smart, Mikey had his kind and joyful soul, and Raph was naturally a great fighter. Leo felt left out and decided that training to be a hero would be his way of standing out. He also believed that being special like his brothers was the only way to get Splinter’s attention; and it kind of worked. With all the progress Leo made, Splinter praised him, and they had a way to connect.

Around the beginning of S1(maybe ep. 5), Leo became the leader though how was different. Instead of Splinter deciding, the brothers did; the explanation was the turtles were a team and should make a consensus as one. This news made Leo ecstatic; he was finally living his dreams. Even so, he didn’t realize the baggage and responsibility a leader had to shoulder. Over the course of the story Leo grows as a great leader and fighter.

The Karai/Leo subplot will follow the 2003 version. He is convinced that Karai is a good person and tries to have her switch sides. There will be romantic feelings but its not the main motivation for both of their actions. I can’t say too much since this plot revolves around Karai more.

image

   Donatello:

Donnie is a blend of 2003/12 versions. He is intelligent with an extremely high IQ and was a gifted child. However, his intelligence came with a cost; making connections with his brothers and father was really tough for him because of their different interests. This left him withdrawing from everyone and focusing on his inventions. His social skills evolve once the turtles visit the city and meet April. The increasing danger of the Kraang further builds his relationships since communication is important in teamwork, and Donnie’s talent in inventing grew more in the spotlight.

Because of her fascination with Donnie’s smarts and inventions, April and Donnie become good friends as the story continues. Donnie also gets close with April’s best friend, Irma since they are science lovers. At first, Casey irritates him as they have clearly different personality; Casey’s impulsive and extroverted attitude conflicting with Donnie’s plan-based mindset.

Donnie’s love for his family is showcased after witnessing a terrifying, apocalyptic future where his family suffers. Paranoia sets in. His work to calculate the cause of this terrible, and its solution leads Donnie to rarely take care of his needs. He has to learn to trust in others instead of doing things alone.

image

 Raphael:

Unlike Leo, Raph is instantly gifted in fighting. He has more physical strength than his brothers and would constantly beat them in practice. Since childhood, Raph was Splinter’s “favorite” in the dojo and that definitely got into the red-banded turtle’s head. He would brag to his brothers and jokingly poke fun at their techniques. It wouldn’t affect anyone. Except for Leo.

Raphael’s ego started taking hits once Leo caught up to him and beating him in practice once in a while. It turned into anger after noticing Master Splinter praising Leo more. The tension soured their brotherhood. Unlike most versions, Raph’s anger is fueled by insecurity. He believes that fighting is the only thing he is good at and will get territorial if his spotlight is threatened.

Throughout the story, he learns to move on from his demons and realize his worth.

Family is important to Raph. He can be hard on his brothers yet will do anything to keep them safe, especially Mikey- his positivity must be protected. Casey and Raph become best friends for their similarities and love for fighting- they are impulsive bros.

image

 Michelangelo:

Mikey’s role is to be the positive and glue of the team. He loves to make people happy and would always do something goofy or kind to do that. His family have nothing bad to say about their youngest member and are very protective of him. The youngest brother doesn’t take ninjitsu as seriously as skateboarding, dancing, or just general fun. Though, he will be serious when the situation calls for it, such as the fate of his family and the world.

Although being an open ear to anyone, Mikey is not open to expressing his negative emotions due to his fear of damaging the family dynamic. It is noticeable when he is upset because he jokes more often and not focus. A lesson he must learn is to accept the good and the bad. Mikey can be reckless, mostly when his brothers rarely let him participate in missions. He wants to prove to his family that he is strong enough to protect himself and others. Reading people is his best skill and takes great pride in it, usually taking on the role of a therapist.

image

 Splinter/Hamato Yoshi:

I really wanted to take Splinter’s role in the Shredder’s descent to evil in the grayer area. He is usually the victim/innocent party of the story, which can get boring after a while.

Hamato Yoshi was born as the heir to Hamato Clan and childhood best friend of Oroku Saki. The Hamato and Foot clan were allies for centuries and would usually fight by each other’s side. Matters changed when the Foot’s beliefs grew more sinister. This left the Hamato Clan to eradicate their former ally. Splinter saved Saki before he could be killed, though, it came with consequences. Oroku Saki vowed to exact revenge for his fallen home. Growing up, Splinter became one of the strongest martial artists in Japan and married a woman named Tang Shen, later becoming a father to a girl. His world ended once he saw his clan destroyed and his family killed by the renewed Foot Clan.

Yoshi decided to move to New York and forget his old life. Years later, the martial artist noticed strange people caging defenseless animals. He would fight them long enough to protect four humanoid turtles, deciding to keep them after a moment of compassion. Splinter would continuously fight the strange men until a strange liquid turned him into a rat. This turning point banished Splinter and the turtles to the sewers for protection.

Splinter equally loves his sons. He would always make sure to give them equal amounts of love to avoid lasting issues. Though, he has made some mistakes. Emotions were rarely discussed because of Splinter’s unintentionally withdrawn attitude. The rat master wouldn’t instantly notice problems between his sons, and usually didn’t know how to resolve them. No matter what, Splinter is proud of his children and would do anything to keep them safe; sometimes not realizing that it could hurt them.

Hamato Yoshi’s guilt and trauma over the terrible moments in his life would be the main focus of his development.

Mako & His Development

Mako & His Development

Most people say Mako didn’t get development at all. I kind of disagree.

When we first meet Mako, he’s a standoffish loner who believed that getting money to protect his brother was his only job. Mako never had his own life because of these worries. By the end of LOK, he’s more open, kind, and gets to do what he wants- be a detective. Mako is free to be a bit selfish and not worry about his brother as much as before. He doesn’t need to be some kind of parent.

I think the reason why people kind of forget about this is because Mako’s development kind of matches his personality. He’s quiet and isn’t one to stand out like the others.

I feel like he is kind of the Toph of the gang. Tbh, I found Toph’s development to be Mako’s-not as in your face. Toph kind of stays the same except becomes more open. It was more of her skills that gained development.

I understand why people say Mako has bad development because of the romance debacle. That plot point messed up some progress in the show.

Thoughts? 😊❤️

Young Justice X Encanto: Og 6’s Reactions To Watching Encanto

Young Justice x Encanto: Og 6’s Reactions to Watching Encanto

*In my alternative universe, Superboy and Wally have returned after S4

-Conner/Superboy would definitely relate to Mirabel since S1 him wanted Superman to recognize him, and he was very insecure about his lack of having all of Superman’s powers.

-He would feel bad for Mirabel and probably tear up at “Waiting for a Miracle.”

-Camilo would be Wally and Dick’s favorite character since he’s them if they had M’gann’s shapeshifting power.

-Mirabel would remind M’gann of herself back in S1.

-M’gann thinks about bioship whenever she sees Casita. 

-Artemis would be reminded of her and Jade’s relationship (pre S4) when watching Isabela and Mirabel’s interactions.

-Kaldur would relate to Luisa and to her song “Surface Pressure.”

-Almost everyone would dislike Isabela and Abuela 10 minutes into the movie.

-Dick’s comment toward Isabela, “I knew she gave me bad vibes. She controls plants like Ivy.”

-Everyone would be upset with the family for leaving Mirabel out of the photo, especially Conner, M’gann, and Artemis.

-Artemis sees Antonio as Lian.

-Wally and Dick laugh at the dancing donkeys in Luisa’s song.

-Wally’s reaction to seeing Bruno’s room, “Even I’m getting tired looking at those stairs.”

- Dick and Artemis are impressed by Mirabel’s parkour skills. Dick, “For someone with no training, she’s doing pretty good.” Artemis, “And people say she doesn’t have a gift.”

-Everyone has their “oh shit” face when seeing Mirabel on the prophecy tablet.

-No one is not jamming to “We Don’t Talk About Bruno.”

-M’gann finds Pepa and Felix’s relationship cute.

-Camilo’s part is Dick and Wally’s favorite part.

-Dick and Wally after hearing why everyone dislikes Bruno, “He’s literally just the messenger,” “And of course you’re going to lose your hair, male-pattern baldness is common in your 50s.”

-Constant cringing and laughing during the engagement dinner.

-Wally’s joke, “This is a worse disaster than our first missions.”

-All six of them are in the “Protect Bruno” club.

-M’gann almost cries seeing Bruno’s plate carving and his view of the dinner table. She wants to give him a big hug.

-Everyone agrees that Isabela’s redemption was not as well done, but still feel bad for her because of the arranged marriage. 

-Kaldur would also relate to Isabela’s song “What Else Can I Do?” since he feels pressured to be perfect. 

-The hate for Abuela grows after her outburst. 

-Cheered for Mirabel when she defended herself.

-Casita’s “death” dropped the mood down fast. 

-Artemis and M’gann cried at Pedro’s death because it reminded them of their partner’s “death”. Their spouses were on comfort patrol. 

-The group have slightly forgiven Abuela for her actions.

-Mirabel getting her doorknob got everyone in the feels. 

-All agree that the new family photo was way better than the other one. 

Overall, everyone would really like this movie.

Have Any of You Ever Had Crushes on TMNT Characters?

I am totally guilty for having crushes on TMNT characters-especially my blue-banded husbando.

I’ve had crushes on almost every iteration of Leonardo. The 2012 Leo is #1.

He’s just so sweet, brave, strong, and a great swordsman. His voice was heaven to my ears, especially when it changed in season 3. Leo also has the cutest smile. Still have a crush on him to this day. 

Have Any Of You Ever Had Crushes On TMNT Characters?

I also had a crush on 2012 Donnie because of how cute and smart he is. Donatello was my second favorite in the series. Rob Paulsen did a really good job making him super likable. Donnie’s smile is almost as cute as Leo’s.

How I Would Write Ducktales (2017) Season 4(if it happened)?

image

Since I’ve seen a few fans talking about how they would write S4, it got me curious to know what you guys thought. I don’t have that much of an idea since almost every storyline was closed, but I’ll give it a shot.

So, my main plot point for S4 would be a sort of Scrooge redemption arc. If anyone has seen The Life & Crimes of Scrooge McDuck then you know what I’m going to be talking about.

Glomgold and Ma Beagle’s stories won’t be included since they weren’t particularly terrible. Though, they do show Scrooge’s selfish nature and non-accountability of how his actions affect people. What I will be talking about is Magica’s story. I don’t feel super bad for Poe and Magica since they terrorized innocent villagers, but what Scrooge did was not good. Magica was willing to through everything away if he helped her and Poe; instead Scrooge ridicules her and steals the villager’s money. Magica’s terrorizing could have ended right there. 

And that’s not even the worst part. Scrooge then took advantage of the villager’s situation to make a profit and left them once he was done. He didn’t help them or anything; sure he didn’t have magic but he could have at least tried. I was super annoyed when the writers swept those issues under the rug after this episode.

Actually watching Scrooge trying to fix his mistakes would be way more convincing than an apology (which was pretty half-assed, I must say).

Season 4 would be Scrooge’s season.

As for the main villain, maybe a group from that village who are still resentful towards Scrooge. They don’t have to be big villains like Bradford; just ones that affect Scrooge and his family.

I would also add Poe since he has so much potential and can give Magica some good development.

How Would You Rank The MCU Shows (From Most to Least Favorite)?

I recently asked my friend who loves Marvel how she would rank the MCU shows from most to least favorite. I don’t remember her exact ratings, but she mentioned that Moon Knight is really good and WandaVision is her least favorite because she thought the finale could’ve been better.

I haven’t finished all of them yet so I’m not going to write my ranking.

What is yours and what’s the reason?

Favorite Spriggan 12 Member?

Favorite Spriggan 12 Member?

I think Irene is my favorite for some reasons.

Her story really made sympathize and respect her in some way. She’s a powerful and loving queen who wanted humans and dragons to live in harmony. Like a queen should, Irene fought with her soldiers and dragon friend, Belserion. I felt awful because of her soldiers’ and husband’s betrayal, and them torturing her. I respected Irene’s love and need to protect Erza, other than her own life. I was sad that the pain she felt in her “human” body caused her depleting mentality. I understand Irene feeling uncomfortable in her body, the constant wish to sleep and the need to scratch her skin.

The only thing that I didn’t like is how she treated Erza. All those words and actions, she took to bring down her daughter was awful. I think she behaved like that because either she saw Erza as a reminder of her missed chance of a new life or Irene’s mental state was so broken that she didn’t know what she was doing.

I was bummed out when Irene committed suicide, but I understand her choice. She didn’t want to kill her daughter, but didn’t want to live either. The pain she went through physically and mentally was too much for her and wanted to be free of the burden.

I believe the reason why she decided to not kill herself before was because she wanted to see her daughter again. The woman she was before was still there, the loving mother she could have been if her awful past didn’t occur.

Most to Least

1. Irene

2. Brandish

3. August

4. Larcade

5. Dimaria

6. Invel

7. God Serena

8. Ajeel

9. Neinhart

10. Wall

11. Bloodman

12. Jacob
