[Warning: This is a long post]
I just want to rant about this story I came up with when I was 15-16 where instead of being killed by D'Vorah, Mileena is banished to a different realm, which is the Hunter realm (HxH). She joins Gon and Killua on their adventure, and becomes fiance to Illumi all the while trying to make Meteor City become a kingdom by trying to gain rulership of it. I'm actually half lying because I don't want to acknowledge the weirdness of the original plot. I also wrote this before the whole "Sindel was evil this whole time" thing, so she's still under Quan Chi's spell somehow because I actually like good Sindel. Also came up with it before Mileena was added to the game so I pictured the mkx version when coming up with ideas.
The whole making a kingdom out of Meteor city thing is because I figured Mileena would be drawn to it, she won't give up being queen that easily and if she's stuck in this realm she might as well make due with what she can. The whole concept of Meteor City is that it's a place that is not only not recognised in the map, but it is a country that is a junkyard filled with, outcasts and inhabitants that have no record of existing. Any trash could be abandoned there including people (children). Only few people know of Meteor City's existence which has played an advantage for the mafia to hire the inhabitants as assassins and hitmen. The inhabitants also have a strong bond with each other. If I did not explain well then please check the wiki page for better information. Mileena herself is an outcast and was an assassin, and growing up in Outworld, a place that isn't very friendly, Meteor City would probably be like a walk in the park.
"We'll accept anything you leave here, but don't ever take anything away from us." - Meteor City's motto.
The goal isn't to take anything away from Meteor City, but to reform it. Change it, using the bond that the inhabitants have for each other and the large population against them. According to the wiki it is ruled by an assembly of elders so I'm not sure how easy it would be for her to take over. I'm not sure if she will rule fairly either, considering she is spoken poorly of when her being a Kahn is brought up. She wasn't massacring tribes like Kotal, so I'm not sure.
When I came up with this idea it was right when mk11 came out. It was another one of those things where I come up with loads of ideas but end up not writing anything. I was super annoyed that Mileena wasn't in the game and read a Naruto x Mortal Kombat fanfic where Mileena is the mother of Hinata, and figured "why don't I make my own version but with HxH". To be honest, mk11 Mileena just feels like a continuation of mk9's Mileena, not mkx. Mkx seemed more mature and adapted out of being a server and to a position of leadership (to some extent).
Nen type: Specialist
Nen abilities
Shadows - The ability to make clones of herself (This ability has set backs as the clones are more of an illusion and cannot make physical contact with objects. If they appear to a non nen user then they appear blurred)
Midnight Pretenders - The ability to make her face look more human and less Tarkatan (ability lasts for no more that 2 hours and cannot be used at the same time as another ability)
Queen - Armour that enhances her abilities and protects her from attacks, and even gives her a pair of sais (armour looks more Edenian than Outworld) The outfit was made by playing a dress up game.

I have a few thoughts on the 2013 Carrie. I understand the dislike for 2013 Carrie, but I don't at the same time. To be fair, I was at least 8 years old when I saw the film and I had no clue that it was a book first and had 2 movies before it, but I loved the hell out of that film.
I remember the rage and relatability I felt with her character. Granted, it wasn't until secondary school that I was harshly bullied, but I still went through isolation and being berated for things that no one should've cared that much about (P.E, ect.).
Now to the films: In the 1976 and 2002 version, the prom massacre is presented in a way where Carrie loses her mind, the '76 (Spacek) seemingly hallucinating. 2013 everyone is actually laughing at her and Carrie consciously offs them. I'm not saying they deserved it but rent was due. As Shang Tsung would say, how deliciously cold blooded.
I remember finding out that people hated the 2013 version and being confused until I found out why. She wasn't accurate. Chloe Grace Moretz is very pretty, and she was a very pretty teenager (sorry if that sounds creepy). With the new found knowledge that I acquired it was hard to accept her as Carrie even though my 8 year old self had already accepted her.
According to Carrie | Anatomy of a Franchise (a youtube video), from what I remember Moretz wanted the role because of her sexuality, and that sense of being 'othered' from the people around her. Although I am not queer, I can understand this feeling of otherness. I showed that a person didn't have to be what society views as ugly to see themselves in Carrie, there could be anything about you and Carrie as a character could spark a mirror.
Looking back at the previous movies I can see why Moretz's version is not appealing to many people. Appearance aside, there was another thing wrong that I didn't realise until James A. Janisse pointed it out on his kill count. A normal girl acting like an outcast. Moretz didn't have Spacek's timidness or Bettis' shaking behaviour, nor did they attempt to make her look strange (dark circles under eyes, ect.). But the more I thought about it the more I came to my own conclusion.
At this point anyone can be Carrie, even though that's very far fetched. Hell, I would play Carrie if I was given the chance. I haven't read the book, yet, but I know Carrie's features. Some of them at least. She is plus sized/chubby, has pimples and bad skin. Sounds like me, except I lost some weight (according to my mum), and I wasn't really chubby. But my skin did occasionally go bad (my lips going monstrously dry and scabby during winter) and I have dandruff. My dandruff would build up and a bunch of tiny pieces would fall whenever I scratched my head, and get stuck under my fingernails. I would rarely cut my nails unless they chipped off by themselves somehow. I had bags under my eyes from lack of sleep. I still have pimples on my forehead.
I'm also a 19 year old (currently) who's been told that they look like 15 and have been confused for a 15 year old. I'm certain I could play teenager Carrie.
I know that's too much information and that it means that there was something wrong with me, in the sense that I wasn't taking good care of myself and may have been dealing with something mentally.
Why does this matter? Both Spacek and Bettis were past their early 20's unlike Moretz who was 15. Spacek and Bettis' appearance was nothing like the book's description of Carrie. Both are very skinny, with Bettis especially having sunken cheeks. But with this in mind it could imply that their movie versions were not very well fed, thus either highlighting the abuse from the hands of Margaret White or their low class background.
Ugly or not, odd or not, a person is still going to be targeted and othered. Spacek's Carrie is very beautiful, but she felt like a ghost in the mystical sense. Just there and seemingly existing, but being unfortunately disturbed by the ever so rude living humans. If you look at Spacek as an actress it would be hard to believe that she is Carrie.
The result of writing this: Something can be done and seen with any Carrie, no matter who she is.
I love 2013's Carrie. Another thing I really admire is the scene where Tommy asks Carrie out to the prom. It could be that cold tone that every 2010s horror movie had at the time, but it truly captured how unsafe and suspicious Carrie felt and how suspicious Tommy seemed. Tommy sort of had good intent, but he was being creepy with how persistent he was being. Something that isn't realised in the '76 film, considering consent wasn't much of a thing back then (major yikes). It was nothing sexual, but no means no and he kept dismissing that. Dude showed up to Carrie's house and everything. Also, he cheated on Sue with Carrie. Why aren't people irked?
the comment section
Baby Zuko: My parents had a baby! Mama kissed Daddy and the fairies told the stork! And the stork left a diamond under the fire lily petals! And the diamond turned into a baby!
Baby Sokka: My parents had a baby too. They had sex.
More crap I keep coming with. These are things I wrote in a Youtube comment section btw, I just expanded on it a bit more to post here. I recommend checking out Cynical Warlock, he's got some great videos on Mortal Kombat.
I wish we were given a story mode that not only reintroduces Shujinko, but also the kahoots he got himself involved with outside Onaga. Like lying to Hotaru about King Zeffeero, and spreading chaos in Seido for Havik in exchange for coins (it’s a tiny side quest in konquest mode where the player bumps into Havik in seido). Have Shujinko be a righteous man who has no clue he might be insane, if you count randomly punching civilians and thievery to be a part of the story arc. He’s an agent of chaos that is unaware of his chaotic side, and Seidans can smell it on him, so a lot of them stay clear of him. It could explain why he turned on Liu Kang and the others in Kung Lao’s ending. There’s a quiet evil lingering, but it doesn’t want to take things over, it just desires to cause trouble.
I hope Shujinko plays a part in the Titan Havik story, because in my opinion it'll just feel wrong if he's not there since he's the reason we know of Choasrealm, same with Hotaru. There needs to be Hotaru, he's the order to Havik's chaos, and Shujinko is the child caught between those divorced parents.
I'd like to believe that Shujinko is also a mirror to Shang Tsung in a way. He (unknowingly) does bad things in the name of good, but Shang Tsung is (cartoonishly) open about his wickedness. Both of them have the ability to copy others, and were promised some form of grandeur, only to be double crossed by the very entity that brought them up. It seems with the mk1 timeline that their stories were swapped. In the old timeline Shang Tsung was a champion for Earthrealm who decided to switch to the dark side and learn soul magic, only to betray both his masters once the opportunity came. In mk1 timeline Shujinko supposedly comes from nothing, and once he becomes powerful he has to be subdued with his memories and powers taken away. He even has the same hairstyle as Shang Tsung, they must be mirrors of some kind.
I also headcanon that Mokap is descended from Chaosrealm. He's some random motion capture guy, but seems okay with the bloodshed that's going on. In Deception's Konquest mode you'll catch him strutting around with a big smile on his face. If you punch him he won't do anything about it, he gets back up and starts strutting again like nothing happened.
Let's give Horsie some appreciation.
I had a dream that Illumi and Hisoka switched bodies, and Hisoka, speaking from Illumi's body was talking about... something(?). I can't remember what they were talking about. Illumi was less talkative and more observant.
Their nen switched as well, thankfully. Hisoka was able to use Bungee Gum even through Illumi's body. Thing is, when it was time to use their abilities in a fight, Illumi didn't use his needle men, he used a nen gun.
It turns out, there was a third party to the body swap, and that was Kikyo Zoldyck. Kikyo was able to mimic Illumi's mannerisms, but was able to recognise that she wouldn't be able to copy his way of speaking. Kikyo isn't aware that she's crazy, but she knows she cannot talk without screaming. The cold energy around her (him?) couldn't be denied.
Illumi was in Kikyo's body, or potentially may even have been in another body.
The boys giving a little show to the camera. Jeff doing a little dance. Much to see. Kind of looks like the beginning of an old porn tape.
I am in absolute shock that I found the dojo video. Here is the famous tit grab clip we’ve all been searching for
Notes: I've decided to jump on the Bimbo reader bandwagon. I don't write nsfw or anything specifically 18+, so I won't be writing about short skirts or anything that has to do with revealing clothes. I grew up with Disney bimbos so my perception of them is probably warped, but I find this ship pretty damn cute and interesting so I'm writing my own.
Good grass, you loved make up. Fixated on it. That included anything that had to do with the colour pink, and whatever society decided was a girly thing. In the eyes of society you were very stupid, and it was thanks to your pretty face that you weren't bullied for it. That's what your old high school friend told you anyways, the two of you were no longer friends for a reason.
The way you walked around in your platform heels, glossed lips, painted nails, and new clothes. All of which were similar, but different. Ethan couldn't get enough of you. Granted, when the two of you first met he figured you would never give him the time of day, but you asked him to help you with your studies. He would've done your homework for you, but if helping you meant spending time with you then he would help.
You were surprisingly kind, although a bit of an airhead. A busty airhead. You were kind to everyone, kind of causing Ethan to get jealous sometimes, but you only had eyes for him. He's the one who helped you understand what was going on in class, and he's the one that protected you from Ghostface. You were his Sweet Dumb Thing.
A lot of boys you liked had a habit of getting tired of you once they clued in on how naive and high maintenance you were, but not Ethan. That's why you loved him so much. You started rewarding him with kisses, he wouldn't rub them off his face. It was your way of showing affection.
You were at his room more often. So often that your teddies and heels could be spotted. Your friends pointed out that your shirt wasn't its usual shade of pink but one of blue. Ethan's blue. It was a Tuesday, so you decided to wear blue on Tuesday, which meant a trip to the mall. Ethan carried all the shopping.
You liked pretty things so it wasn't hard to distinguish what was yours and his, but you didn't bother moving anything.
You went on frequent shopping trips with Anika, who would get Mindy to carry her stuff. All it took was a simple kiss on the cheek and they both had the strength of a thousand Hercules'.
"Ethan? That generic nerd?!"
"He's my generic nerd!"
Not saying Ice Spice is a bimbo, but if I was one I would dress like her.
