Mortal Kombat Mileena - Blog Posts

I have a question, followed by a very different question that might have a request depending on your answer but I'll put it in the same ask for ease

I am very new to the spiderman fandom, like, more like "interested in joining" new and wanna know where I should start

do you do MK pfps??? if you do could I perhaps ask for an agender Mileena one? any version, but if I get to be super picky (which ofc it's super fine if I don't bc I'd probably not let requesters get this picky) if you DO do mk1(2) Mileena can it be one of those pictures of her that like someone drew little cat ears and whiskers onto??? I know those are super niche so it's fine if you don't do it, but even if you don't I wanna share one bc they're super cute imo and I think it might provide serotonin or maybe that's just me but still either way have a good day or whatever time it is for you

LOOKIT HER!!! she's just a baby your honor!!

1. I would recommend The Spectacular Spider-Man, which is on Disney +, and Insomniacs Spider-Man games, if you can't afford them, Jacksepticeye has a good playthrough of them. If that's what you mean? Comic wise, I'm not too sure.

2. I do pfps from the media in my 'will write for' section. Also that's super cute!

And don't worry! I'm perfectly fine with picky requests :3

I did my own cat ones, that's why they're so bad lol

I don't need credit but it'd be nice

HOW DO ANY HOMOPHOBIC MORTAL KOMBAT FANS EVEN EXIST?? DID Y'ALL JUST NOT PAY ATTENTION TO KUNG JIN, MILEENA AND TANYA IN MKX? OR MILEENA IN MK11? OR MILEENA AND TANYA IN MK1??

EDIT :

Kung Jin is a confirmed gay man, Mileena is confirmed to be bisexual. (I'm unsure if Tanya is also bisexual or if it's unconfirmed yet.) They are explicitly stated. So, only three characters, out of hundreds of named Mortal Kombat characters, are confirmed to be queer.

It's clear nobody is 'forcing' anything, or 'making everything LGBTQ+', because those three examples are the only canon characters apart of our community. You can just block the ship tags, the lgbtq tag, or the people who post that art / fanfictions, you're making a huge issue out of something that takes less seconds to solve than putting on a sock.

If a character has a spouse and kids, it's in no way confirming that they're straight. To believe that is ignoring the bisexual people in real life who have children and a spouse, it's ignoring the fact that bisexual is attraction to all genders, including the opposite, and if a bisexual person wants kids? That's great! It doesn't make them any less bisexual.

It's rather disingenuous to claim you 'have no issue' with our community, but then turn around and be genuinely disgusted or even angry when ships or headcanons are made about us.

It's telling when you only focus on the LGBTQ+ aspect of that headcanon or ship. It's telling when you, only after the post is made and you're rightfully getting harmless criticisms, mention cishet ships and headcanons offhandedly because 'look guys! I'm not homophobic!' Even though you never actually mention what ships or headcanons you dislike, just that you dislike a few.

Unless they're LGBTQ+. In which case you go in vivid detail, you describe how frustrated you get, how it's clearly 'new fans' despite the fact that queer people and their ships + headcanons have been a part of fandom space, since fandoms existed.

To bring up past timelines when you're specifically referring to Mortal Kombat 1 is plain stupidity, Liu Kang changed Tarkat from a species to a disease, it's not hard to believe a character could be trans or gay when before they were hinted otherwise.

It proves that, for you, it's not about shipping or headcanons, or new fans, or fandoms in itself. It's about the fact that our community is gaining acceptance, we're being seen as normal, because we are normal, and we shouldn't be treated as 'it NEEDS to be confirmed to be true.' But for cishet people? Oh, EVERY character is cishet, that's just the 'default'.

Oh, and, by the way, it isn't 'good representation' if you can't actually tell if the character isn't cishet/allo, if it takes years for you to realise Kung Jin is gay, that means his queerness was written badly, which it was. If straight men characters get to flirt with women, and straight women characters get to flirt with men, why can't men flirt with other men, or women flirt with other women?

If cis male characters get to talk about their bodies, and cis female characters talk about their bodies, why can't transgender characters talk about being transgender or how it affects their bodies?

If your audience needs to go to a twitter post or ask around to check what your character's sexuality/gender is, you've quite literally just failed at writing.

Beside that, there's nothing wrong with believing a character is straight or cis, either! Just, don't be awful to those who believe differently, don't send threats, just because somebody believes a character is a part of our community.

I, uh, I edit sometimes (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)
