the saddest fuckin scene in all of hatchetfield is the one in yellow jacket when ethan and hannah come home from pizza pete’s and lex is waiting with that single balloon and the hostess cupcake. when she talks about failing the test and trying desperately to make a good birthday for her sister but feels like she’s always letting her down. and she doesn’t get to celebrate with her because she has to open tomorrow. and THAT makes ethan agree to let hannah fight

I’ve seen a few posts pointing out how stampede vash lacks the anger that 98 and especially trimax vash has. Which is true.
And it is important. Because vash isn’t the too morally strong or good or kind to be angry or whatever. Vash has a lot of rage about a lot of things. he chooses to be kind despite it rather than not being angry at all.
His sheer determination to not give into anger and choosing kindness over and over again is very important to who he is.
(personally I think that while tristamp vash went through a lot already too, he simply has not quite reached that point)
What I haven’t really seen are post pointing out that stampede vash, unlike 98 and trimax vash, does not cry.
Vash cries a lot. Some of it is for the comedy and because he is dramatic like that and also he isn’t above trying to get pity that way (with little success lol).
But he also cries a lot just… because. I don’t know how to explain it.
Like vash has no shame or inhibition to cry when that’s what he feels. Not gonna lie, I know trimax mostly from spoilers so far (shame on me) but especially in 98 vash cries very freely. He cries when he thinks he will have to watch that ex-mob boss or whatever being shot. Cries after killing, cries after monev kills all these people and he wants to shot him but wont. And so so many more.
Like that time he just suddenly drops his donuts and cries in the middle of the street.
Vash is friendly and sociable on a surface level but he has cut himself off from so much. Keeps so many things on the inside. Crying seems the one thing he doesn’t hold back on. Maybe his only genuine outlet for the pain.
Vash hides his scars, his pain and much more but he never hides his tears.
Vash, in 98 even says ‘is there something wrong with that?’ when the kids note that he is crying despite being an adult.
In contrast to that, stampede vash never really cries. He even states that he doesn’t deserve to.
We see him shed tears just once, at the very end when it becomes clear to him that he can’t save nai and that his brother and him have grown so far apart that he barely recognizes him anymore. He sheds silent tears for nai, for them, at what he certainly believed to be the very end.
Stampede vash is not only a lot more timid than his counterpart but seems overall more repressed and and emotionally dulled/exhausted

The first time I played MK11 and Liu Kang and Raiden merged so Liu Kang could be Fire and Lightning God Liu Kang, I thought about something I've never seen anyone else mention.
When Raiden gives his powers to Liu Kang, Liu Kang comes out with the godly glowing eyes and the glowing dragon tattoos, right? We all know that.
But I always felt like it implied that, similarly to Fujin, Raiden DID have tattoos.
It's the same in the sense that Liu Kang got Raiden's glowing eyes and white hair (assuming that like Fujin, Raiden's hair was white)
So can it not be assumed that if Liu Kang took on those features, he would take the tattoos too?
I've always thought that the dragons weren't Liu Kang's, not really. They're Raiden's.
And I'm gonna die on the hill of Raiden having dragon tattoos in MK11 that are just vibrant, glowing fucking white.
I've thought this for AGES and I've never seen anyone else make a similar connection.
