ok ik i just made two bit posts but i need to rant about this unashamed. under a cut cuz it got long as balls i'm sorry

WHYYYYY DOES NO ONE IN THIS FANDOM UNDERSTANF ANYTHING I'M GONNA KMS OH MY GOD RAAAHGJDHDJDHGJSDJSJ like ok ok so like. names. we know mortal kortal naming sucks ass. half their characters have surnames as their given name (looking at you takeda liu etc etc) and they literally described the name kitana as being "asian enough" ok we KNOW it sucks ass BUT. BUT. BUT BUTBUTBTHTBJFVMWCBM1EFHK1PEK YOU CAN'T JUST. FORGET. like okay blahblahblah something something "actually based on chinese naming order his family name is liu !! so in this situation it would be more appropriate for someone to call him kang instead—" YOU'VE ONLY SEEN THEMMOVIE RAAAAAAHFHBFSLHAFHLAFHLAFLHLFHAF in literally EVERYTHING else it is incredibly apparent that his Given name is liu and his Surname is kang. evidence uh the 1995 movie (everyone calls him liu, including but not limited to an american and two whole members of his family. who yk. wouldn't be calling him by their Shared family name.) and the kollector's edition comics (listed his family members in a character bio of sorts and all of them were [given name] kang) and bits of dialogue from matches in mk11 ("am i in a hall of mirrors?" "i am your ancestor, cheh kang" for a liu kang mirror match) and ALSO. THE FUCKING 2021 MOVIE. (while liu kang shouts LAO kung lao shouted LIU. not KANG. also cole calls him liu during the wound healing scene where liu talks about his tragic backstory but like that's cole born and raised in meanwhile, chigaco so you can write that one off BUT WHY WOULD LIU KANG WHO SEES KUNG LAO AS A SUPERIOR ("you should be on your knees before this man" and just generally the way he talks to and about kung lao) BE CALLING HIM BY HIS GIVEN NAME (and we do know that lao is his given name as evidenced by characters like his cousin kung jin) WHILE LAO CALLS HIM BY HIS FAMILY NAME. WHY. WHY WOULD THAT BE THE THING. WHY WOULD THAT BE THE MOVE. therefore liu is his given name.

THERE'S ALSO THE FUCKING KUAI LIANG ISSUE. BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T REALISE THAT KUAI LIANG IS HIS GIVEN NAME. THE WHOLE THING. KUAI LIANG IS JUST TWO PARTS OF A GIVEN NAME. AND WE KNOW THIS BECAUSE HE'S ONLY EVER BEEN CALLED KUAI LIANG AND BI HAN HAS ONLY EVER BEEN CALLED BI HAN AND NEITHER PART OF KUAI LIANG'S NAME IS SHARED BETWEEN THEM SO CLEARLY THEY'RE JUST ONLY EVER CALLED BY THEIR GIVEN NAMES IN GAME AND FILM unless there was Something freakishly early on or something in legends that confirmed (sorry *konfirmed) otherwise but i don't think the people who pull this nonsense have seen literally everything. and unless you're fully prepared to tell me that bi han's full name is kuai bi-han you have no right to pull this shit. so. w/e. anyways you can try to pull the argument that maybe it's a nickname someone just shortened his name but like !??!?!?!?! why would they pick LIANG. instead of KUAI. that makes no sense. to me at least. because like i've seen people call bi han just. Bi. but i've never seen anyone call him Han. and like calling someone kuai sounds better than calling them liang don't it. sigh. anyways.

no hate to people (specifically the people i'm vaguing (??) rn (i'm so sorry liulaoposter i really love your work it's just that one comment you left on someone's fic rubbed me the wrong way. i'm so sorry ao3 mortal kortal smut writer your oneshot collection gives me life i just hate given name liang kuai liang) i really don't disapprove of you at all and i'm so sorry if you ever see this unrefined ass rude ass post please don't take it to heart) who write it as the opposite btw it just fills me personally with rage even if it is literally harmless. carry on as you will. btw none of this applies to tumblr user mrstsung even if i don't like you personally (because i am an avid shang tsung with other kanon characters shipper. and also i love mk1 liu kang lmao) but i like the use of tsung as his surname i reject kanon on that lmao mk11 shang tsung mirror match "shang lao, i presume?" can't touch me i salute you in this battle 🫡 but ONLY this battle. sorry

BTW IF SOMEONE PRESENTS CONTRADICTING EVIDENCE TO MINE I WOULD LOVE THAT PLEASEPLEASE TELL ME IF I AM INDEED WRONG AND IT WAS ACTUALLY KONFIRMED THAT LIU IS HIS FAMILY NAME OR LIANG IS HIS GIVEN NAME AHDJDFJFBD I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT !!!!!!!!!! slash gen btw i really do want to know if i'm in the wrong.

#yk this wouldn't post several times because apparently having one huge paragraph this long isnt somethimg tumblr likes #the coca cola company's cock and ball stories #the coca cola company buys mk #really wishin i censored that tag. w/e. it's too late now.

Roadtrip - Charlie Gillespie

a/n: just a daydream I had when I saw this GIF. It’s not proofread. I’m open to requests.

Words: 2k

---------------------------------------

You and Charlie were on a road trip from LA to Oklahoma and last to Chigaco. Your boyfriend had to move there due to the fact that he got cast in a movie and you were fortunate enough to move with him, being able to work from home. It wasn't your idea to drive all those miles via car, but Charlie doesn't like flying so he avoided it at all cost and because you love him, you accompanied him for those dreadful hours.

It was way too early for your liking, of course Charlie knew that and put up with your grumpy, nontalkative mood, simply shoving a large cup of coffee into your hands. “Ma cœur, how much longer until you're more awake to talk to me?” Charlie asked after a while, as he glanced over to you on the passenger side, his free hand tracing little hearts on your thigh. You yawned and took a sip of the now lukewarm coffee. “About this much.” You measured the amount still in the cup, making him chuckle.

You and Charlie have been dating for nearly one and a half years now, however it feels like it's been much longer. From the start, the two of you were attached at the hip, instantly comfortable around each other. Everybody said that you two moved too fast because you moved in with each other after only three months of dating, but because of Covid you didn't want to risk being apart. Even though objectively speaking, you and Charlie were not the same, you were more daydreaming than actually paying attention and you didn't need the adrenaline in your life, you completed him in a magical way.

Right now you two were two hours in, the coffee was empty and you ass already sore from all the sitting. It was something you always despided about yourself, you could spend all day laying in bed, but you couldn't sit still, changing position every now and then. Tapping your foot to the beat of the song streaming from the radio. Charlie calmly hummed along to the song, his fingers also tapping along. You looked over at him and couldn't love him more.

“Are you excited to see Owen and Jer?” You asked him, breaking the silence. A breathtaking smile overtook his face “You know it! How about you?” You nodded, also excited to see the boys again. “Mhm. I missed them a lot.” The song on the radio changed and you huffed in annoyance, you hated that song. Sensing that, Charlie took out his phone and connected it to the car.

“Charlie! Don't drive and be on your phone!” You snapped it out of his hand, giving him a displeased look. Scrolling through Spotify you eventually choose a song to your liking. 18 by OneDirection blared through the speakers, while you put the volume higher you turned in your seat. “I have loved you since we were 18. Well technically 20 but that's a detail.” You whispered the last part. He scrunched his nose in amusement, a quirk you loved dearly.

The two of you screamed lyrics at the top of your lungs, the car driving on an empty highway. The rest of the world fading away, leaving the two of you in a cozy little bubble of your own. The day continued just like that, the two of you singing to songs and just enjoying the company. You loved seeing him drive, something about it was just so attractive to you, maybe it was the way his arms flexed when he moved the wheel, or the fact that you yourself were unable to drive. Even with your 21 years of life, you refused to sit behind the steering wheel and Charlie had tried several times, it always ended with you in tears.

“Do you want to stop somewhere to sleep? It's getting kinda late and you have been driving the whole day.” you questioned, looking at the horizon as the last beams of yellow and red vanished slowly. “Yes please. Can you search for a hotel around here?” Nodding, you took his phone and went onto google maps.

“There's one about two hours away in New Mexico. Reviews look good and the price isn't too high. Sadly no breakfast included, so we're gonna get you something on the road, not gonna let you starve, otherwise I will be stranded here.” He gave your thigh a playful slap and a squeeze “Yeah, yeah love you too, Char. I will look it up… Ah perfect! There's a Dunkin Donuts five miles from the hotel. Does that sound good babe?” He hummed in approval.

“Ah a man of words!” he took one of your hands and gave it a light kiss. “You know me. I always wanted to be a Mime.” he joked.

Before you knew it, the car came to a stop in the pitch black. Only a little yellow neon sign lighting up the hotel parking spot.

“This looks like this one Teen Wolf episode…” you murmured, not feeling the best about this place. “You’re just saying that because you're scared of the dark ma cœur. I'm here to protect you. No Monsters are harming you tonight.” he teased, getting out of the car. In typical Charlie fashion, he walked around the car and opened your door and held out a hand for you, immediately intertwining your fingers.

You smiled up at him, squeezing his hand. “Ha ha…”

The two of you were happy to finally walk off the stiffness of your legs, as you walked over to the reception.

“Hello. We would have a room please.”

The receptionist was in his late 30s, his greying hair falling messily in his eyes and a big smile sat on his thin lips. “No Problem. Is a king bed alright with the two of you?” he didn't want to assume anything. You and Charlie chuckled, nodding slightly “Preferred actually.”

Five minutes later, you waited in the room 345 while Charlie insisted on getting your bags. Stretching, you tried to get rid of the soreness in your back, your eyes nearly falling shut.

Charlie opened the doors, giving you a tired smile. “Let's get to bed. Tomorrow we rise early!” you groaned, making him chuckle. Standing up, you walked over to him, your arms wrapping around his familiar frame. He was stroking your head, giving it a kiss before walking into the bathroom to brush his teeth.

In the meanwhile you changed your clothes, changing from some jeans and one of his hoodies to sweatpants and an oversized shirt.

You gave him a hasty kiss as he came out of the bathroom, smelling the mint of the toothpaste still lingering on his lips. After you washed your face and brushed your teeth, you let yourself fall into the bed. His arms sneaking around your waist, pulling you closer into him.

“Thank you.” Turning around to face him, you traced his features with your fingertips “For what?”

“Coming on this drive with me. You could have easily convinced me to fly, you know.”

“I know mon amour.” you said, looking into his eyes, as you tried your best to keep yours open. You left several kisses on his bare shoulders until your lips met his. He smiled into the kiss and then nuzzled his head into the crook of your neck, pecking it several times before stopping.

“Good night. I love you.”

“Good night babe. Love you more.”

The next morning came way too fast and you didn't want to move out of his comfortable and safe arms into the cold car, but you had to. The sunrise hadn't even begun, the sky still a dark blue, when the two of you drove into the Dunkin drive through, to get you a coffee and a donut. You had to have something sweet in the mornings.

“Actually, I saw a little restaurant on the way here that should have takeaway, do you mind if we take a quick stop?” you shook your head, trying hard not to fall asleep again. An idea ignited in your head and you sat up straighter. “What if we go live while you drive? Maybe I'll be more awake or I'll have stuff to read.” you requested, looking at your boyfriend with a slight pout.

“Sure thing. I'll bet they'll love it.” Smiling, you grabbed his phone from his hand and went into Instagram.

“Hey Char and y/n here.” you introduced while trying to balance the phone on the dashboard “Its freaking early and I’m nearly falling asleep so I thought you guys could entertain me a bit. Mister Gillespie over here isn't as interesting as you guys.” he pouted into the camera, you leaned forward quickly and gave him a kiss on the cheek. The chat was already flooding with hey’s and questions about your relationship and where you were going.

“Is it true that you sometimes talk french to Charlie?” you read from the chat, your eyes widening a little in surprise.

“Sometimes. I mean my french isn't the best but growing up in Europe, I picked up some stuff.”

“She’s just being humble, she understands a lot and her accent is hella cute.” Charlie piped in, pulling into the drive through he mentioned earlier. “Je vois que tu comprends." He said to you, a slight smile playing on his lips. You got lost in his eyes for a second before responding. “Of course I understand babe!” he grabbed your hand and kissed it softly while chuckling.

“OMG that was just so cute!” you read out loud from the chat. Blushing slightly, you giggled, “He loves to do stuff like that when he’s driving. Always showing affection in one way or the other.”

“Uhm next question...What are you two doing so early? Someone asks.” with an raised eyebrow you look over to your boyfriend “I think you can answer this.” you turned the camera a bit so he was more in frame. “We're going to Chicoago, Chigacoooo.” he quoted the iconic Victorious scene, his eyes scanning the road before him.

He got himself a cheese thing of some sort, you couldn't quite make out what it was and parked on the side of the road, getting his food ready in front of him.

He bit into his cheese thing while you sipped on your coffee conversing with the chat. Just earlier you had begged for music suggestions, telling them to send their best road trip songs. Charlie looked really good right now, his hair was pulled together in a bun and he was wearing a blue shirt. You on the other hand had your hair in a top bun and the same hoodie from yesterday, a wool blanket draped over your shoulders. You just wanted to ask if you could have a bite, when he got cheese all over his chin.

He laughed as he looked over to you. Before you knew what you were doing, you leaned forward in your seat. Your face mere inches away from his, you could feel his breath on your face. You stuck out your tongue and licked the cheese away, your eyes never leaving his.

Without giving it a second thought, you settled back into a comfortable position and took a sip from your coffee with a prominent smirk on your face. Leaving a dumbfounded Charlie and a screaming chat.

Not even an hour later the clip of you licking his chin, in maybe a bit of a too sexual way, went viral in the community.

50 Photos That Show Just How Insanely Cold It Is In America Right Now

Extreme weather events are becoming more and more common, with records shattered down under during Australia’s recent heatwave, and now, at the opposite end of the spectrum, the ‘polar vortex’ bearing down on Midwestern U.S.

The polar vortex is a band of strong winds, high up in the atmosphere that keeps bitterly cold air locked around the Arctic region. Sometimes, like this year, it can drift further south than usual and envelop highly populated areas of North America. Chigaco has been particularly hard hit, with its notoriously windy location on Lake Michigan bringing wind-chill temperatures down to record-breaking lows.

With much of the Midwest on lockdown and people urged to stay indoors, some people have been braving the plunging temperatures to take incredible images of the effects that the vortex is having on their daily lives. From exploding toilets to icy hairstyles, this list compiled by Bored Panda will give you chills just from looking at it!
