#im sorry for this heavy ass feels of a post but kung lao means so much to me and this song randomly came on

[mrstsung]

Omg i have feels

This hits harder when you know the weight of kung lao and his ancestor. And how that shit hurts.

Look ignore it's from disney. This song slaps so fucking hard and hits me in the feels. It's so spiritual and touches a part i feel humanity tends to forget.

To have hope,faith,and never forget where you come from. Not by nationality or creed. Borders mean nothing. When you are that deeply connected to humanity and your fellow human being,life,the world around you. And you start to see all the connections. The dots. Aligning. People think your crazy when they just don't see what you feel.

Colors come into vivid hue and you see souls,in their most radiance.

Knowing what kung lao went thru,his deep connection to his ancestor. His values. His faith. What he fights for. What he stands for. What he died for. And the sadness that hus family,and many others. Just forget that and see him only as an idol. He fears the same for his shaolin brother,liu kang. His oldest friend.

So much kung Lao has probably felt. God,damn,this song hits harder if we apply it to kung lao and his ancestor.

Fuuuuuck man. Im cryin in this chili's rn.

And if you add their master,lord raiden when he was suffering and his baby boys couldn't help him into the mix?

Like shit man.

Across many timelines. That man....that monk....delt with so much.....all he wanted was to bring peace to his ancestor and his soul. Ffs man.

Like are people blind? Do people not watch other mk media and or understand that raiden absolutely has shown affection to mortals?

I mean he's not a heavy pda or show off. But he would at least put his hand or arm around your waist. And maybe a gentle kiss on the hand or something,like he will show it but subtly. By the elder gods people! Also raiden when comfy with someone would absolutely be playful,maybe cheeky banter. Honestly raiden still would be pda but again NOTHING HEAVY. (Unlike the likes of shang tsung who is a show off and proudly would display his beloved. Or kung lao whos like "fuck yeah! Im the man!" Or definitely the most pda guy in mk johnny cage. Because he's that proud and loving of his partner)

I swear you think gods are supposed to be fucking robots or some shit.

WE MORTALS AREN'T THAT FUCKING SPECIAL IN THE EMOTIONAL DEPARTMENT STOP ACTING LIKE WE THE ONLY BEINGS TO EXPERIENCE IT!

Especially raiden and fujin. They legit were put as protectors and gods of earthrealm for a reason. They were the closest to the mortals of earthrealm.

Like how many times do i need to repeat it? Mk9-Mk11 fucked up the whole damn timeline.

Raiden was never fucking emotionless,never stiff,and certain showed more fucking personality then we get currently.

Legit guy is wet cardboard now. And it sucks.

Like sometimes i wonder if people just cant fathom god characters being no damn different than us mortals? Y'all preach it sometimes but never show it in fics or writing.

Like i get such great content for other characters. But the second i get to the god characters in mk. Y'all lack.

The only damn difference between Mortals and gods in mk.

Is gods have bigger powers on a grander scale. Dont die. And yes some do have responsibilities but they dont have to be sticks in the mud with no personality to fucking do that. Good lord.

Yes im hella criticizing y'all writing raiden.

This character has been done so dirty. Same with kung lao but thats for a whole nother post entirely.

Raiden works his ass off and this is how you portray him?! This is how you repay him?! The fact he went thru legit hell and you have nothing to show but false grief.

Sorry its just this character is comfort character and also one of my og mk crushes and i just hate seeing him portrayed this way.

Because thats not the raiden i grew up with and remember.

So plz write him better. Screw trying to be "canon", Canon to NRS is a mere suggestion at this point. They dont even care. Im tired of people being afraid to write some damn emotion with characters. Like actually make me feel damn it!

But plz for the love of god,actually give raiden some personality again!

I only have been able to find a few that actually show rai really good.

And it hurts.
