It's always been interesting to me. How did Vanny fall in love with Taffy? Is a killer capable of loving the person he tried to kill?

im SO glad you asked. It happens a little bit after the Daycare Incident - long enough for Glitchtrap to get pissed that Staff hasn't quit/Vanessa hasn't finished the job:

She immediately "leaves" and Staff has her first encounter with a Very Affectionate Vanny moments later.

#asks #yogart #fnaf #self insert #gamer girls but its murderous #five nights at freddy's #fnaf security breach #self ship #fnaf vanessa #the vibe im going with this vers of Vanessa is VERY much Reluctant Follower. She doesn't want to kill peeps. #she can mask it better as vanny bc Mask Confidence and Disassociation but as vanessa she's just jaded and hates it #the thing that makes vanessa fall is a Moment of Kindness even though Staff is obviously sus of Van #before this Vanessa was super stuck up and an asshole to Staff #why be nice to the person thats gonna be dead/gone. nothing matters. shes SO depressed #and then staff doesn't die or leave. Staff represents hope

Mortal Kombat's Sexualized Approach to Character Design

BLOG 7: Exoticism and Sexualization in Game Media

I turned to Mortal Kombat as a surprising and comforting release for my pent-up frustrations during the turbulent times of my adolescence. I found a therapeutic release from the difficulties and rage that surrounded me in the visceral world of fatalities and brutalities. I had no idea that beneath the surface of this legendary game was a rich tapestry of themes that I would not fully comprehend until much later.

I didn't start looking at the Mortal Kombat characters through a different lens until we got to talking about exoticism and sexualization. The very characters I controlled on screen, delivering vicious finishes, abruptly transcended the status of avatars and became representations of a widespread cultural phenomenon. This insight led me to set out on an investigative quest to analyze the complex interactions between exoticism and sexualization in the framework of a game that served as both a significant source of entertainment and a turning point in my coming-of-age story.

About Mortal Kombat

The 1992 arcade game Mortal Kombat, created by Ed Boon and John Tobias, introduced a revolutionary fusion of martial arts, fantasy, and digital graphics. Its popularity made way for more entries, ensuring its place in the gaming industry as a flagship franchise.

Mortal Kombat changed as time went on, embracing new storytelling techniques and technological breakthroughs. A pixelated fight turned into a cinematic experience with deep character arcs and narratives that drew players in and kept them interested beyond the boundaries of a normal fighting game.

Academic Standpoint

For a number of decades, academic discourse has focused on the intersection of gender representation and media, especially in the context of video games. The criticism of media representations that sexually objectify women has its origins in the 1970s, as Busby (1975) and other scholars have pointed out. (Ward, 2016)

Different definitions of sexual objectification have been offered within this scholarly framework. It explores the division of bodies, body parts, or sexual functions from one's identity and goes beyond the simple visual depiction of individuals. Sexual objectification reduces people to being nothing more than tools, existing mainly for the enjoyment and use of other people. Treating people as though their bodies are the only thing that can truly represent them is part of this dehumanizing process. (Ward, 2016)

Examining current beauty standards is an important part of the conversation about sexual objectification. According to research, there are certain standards of beauty for women in relation to American men. These standards frequently dictate a particular body type, such as slender and short or rounded and curved. The idealized female form consists of a bell-shaped lower torso, rounded arms, sloping shoulders, and a small waist tucked between a rounded bosom. The extremities are also examined, including the small, delicate feet and the hands with tapering fingers. The idealized complexion is described as white, and if colored, it may occasionally have a pink flush to the cheeks. (Mazur, 1986)

Character Case Studies

The case study is only focusing on women being sexualized in the game. It is not suggesting that women are the only characters which are sexualized in the game, it could be otherwise, and the data related to it will be absent in this post.

Just for the sake of this study we are going to consider three characters, namely Mileena, Kitana and Jade from Mortal Kombat.

The physical allure of Kitana, Jade, and Mileena adheres gracefully to conventional beauty standards, characterized by a fair or wheat-ish complexion and a harmonious balance between a slender, muscular physique. Each character embodies the timeless elegance of a bell-shaped lower torso, complemented by wider hips and a gracefully narrow waist, effectively encapsulating a universally accepted archetype of femininity. Their statuesque height further refines their curves, seamlessly harmonizing with established beauty norms.

Kitana, Jade, and Mileena's wardrobe choices are always form-fitting garments that skillfully draw attention to their figures' contours, combining martial skill with appealing beauty. Their purposeful use of form-fitting apparel draws attention to their defined curves and muscularity. The purposefully crafted costumes with well-placed openings that reveal skin with a deft artistic touch are what really catch the eye. The characters' visual appeal is enhanced by the meticulous creation, which also plays a significant role in the exoticization and sexualization of the characters by skillfully fusing sensuality into their combat personas. It's important to note how their wardrobe has changed over time, with some costumes gradually baring more skin, demonstrating the franchise's flexibility in response to shifting fashion trends and cultural quirks.

Conclusion

The Mortal Kombat characters Kitana, Jade, and Mileena represent a fascinating blend of conscious design choices and traditional beauty standards in the game's intricate weaving. Their pale skin tones, toned bodies, and balanced outlines capture both the traditional values and the changing aesthetic of the Mortal Kombat world. Beyond simple combat aesthetics, the deft combination of form-fitting clothing and well-placed gaps in their costumes reveals a complex interaction between exoticization and sexualization. As the characters' looks change over time, Mortal Kombat transforms into a dynamic canvas that adapts to shifting beauty standards and cultural quirks. Past the deaths and violence is a space for gaming, introspection, and scholarly conversation that provides an in-depth examination of societal narratives, identity, and representation in the gaming industry.

Johnkat dating sim.

(this relate to another ask i got that i didn't post but u inspired me so

WHAM BAM THANK YOU MA'AM here's ur fuckin' Johnkat dating sim au - Karkat is a beta tester for a dating sim that hasn't been fully released yet, and like the romance connoisseur he is trashes it entirely until he gets to John - whom he PROMPTLY falls in love with.

the whole game is full of cheesy pick up lines and john's just - ARROW OF LOVE STRAIGHT TO THE HEART. karkat never had a chance <3

he's like OBSESSED over this game now that he knows John exists (u ever have those once-in-a-lifetime fictional crushes where u go "man i don't get crushes like these ever but i would let you step on me" no? just me?? ohok) and he tries his best to woo john, but still aches for something besides the cheesy script that makes him want to bash his head against the wall.

...until he gets what he asks for, one day.

(why are the settings glitching? dw about it)

cue John being MORE than responsive (somehow) than he's supposed to be towards "the player" (AKA more like just towards karkat) and that sets an entire arc in motion!!! karkat's friends start to think he's fuckin crazy bcs he spends all this time on a game, and john is....john. (lil more info, jade, rose, and dave are actually on the side, out of view, guiding john! i mean, they don't have any better cheesy pick up lines that HE does...but they're trying aajsdfksalhdfskl)

anyways they are in love and NOTHING bad happens to them ever at all :)

Nieve's Frozen Elegance by Jade Gretz

In the realm of Gielinor, where magic and adventure intertwined, a brave and skilled warrior named Nieve stood at the crossroads of destiny. With her armor gleaming under the radiant light of the RuneScape sun, she decided that the time had come for a new quest, one that would take her beyond the familiar landscapes of her homeland.

Nieve had heard whispers of an ancient artifact hidden in the uncharted regions of Gielinor, said to possess unimaginable power. The allure of this mysterious relic beckoned to her adventurous spirit, promising untold treasures and the glory of conquest. Little did she know that this quest would lead her into the depths of darkness, testing her mettle in ways she had never imagined.

Equipping her finest armor and sharpening her blade, Nieve embarked on a journey into the unknown. The landscape gradually transformed from the lush, familiar surroundings of her homeland into a wild, untamed wilderness. The air was thick with an eerie silence, broken only by the distant howls of unseen creatures.

As Nieve ventured deeper, the landscape became increasingly foreboding. Strange symbols etched into the trees hinted at ancient rituals, and the air carried whispers of long-forgotten incantations. Undeterred, Nieve pressed on, guided by the flickering light of her courage.

Her journey led her to the entrance of a forgotten cave, concealed beneath the twisted roots of a gnarled tree. The entrance beckoned like a mouth yawning open, swallowing all who dared to enter. With a determined stride, Nieve descended into the abyss, the darkness enveloping her like a shroud.

Inside the cavern, the air grew colder, and the echoes of her footsteps reverberated through the subterranean passages. The walls seemed to pulse with a malevolent energy, and strange whispers echoed in the chamber like the ghostly murmurs of the past.

As Nieve delved deeper into the cave's labyrinthine corridors, she stumbled upon an ancient chamber adorned with arcane symbols. In the center lay the artifact she sought – a crystalline orb pulsating with an otherworldly glow. The air around it shimmered with enchantment, casti …(see the rest of the story at deviantart.com/jadegretzAI).

had a weird dream where I was Oliver Swift and I was live-streaming Minecraft with Randy and Foolish Gamers. We were all trying to beat this one weird parkour map from a mysterious past that had a functioning zipline that we needed to cross. So we crossed it. Then all of a sudden I see Karen Dunn and Burger Pants from undertale having a heated make out session and my last thoughts before I woke up were “you can’t do that, burger pants is a trans man” so I have a new headcannon.
