lucien, having to be subjected to jurian and vassa's arguments that are just thinly veiled sexual innuendos and flirting attempts while his mate currently won't give him the time of day:

Every day I think about how messed up it is that Hanzo Hasashi, Mr. I Crawled Out of Hell himself, only dies for good after finally making peace with and forming an allyship with Kuai Liang. And not only an allyship, but a friendship close enough for Hanzo to attempt to comfort Kuai in the face of his grief at the Cyber Lin Kuei factory in MK11.
I mean, Kuai looks devastated enough at the news from young Scorpion. And he even acts a little irrationally as a result, because I feel at this point in the story Kuai was more likely to hear Scorpion out before attacking him. Especially considering he's no stranger to Scorpion changing sides in the face of new circumstances.
But man. I can't imagine how that would've messed Kuai up if he had been allowed the chance to react to what happened. Because of the battle with Kronika, he was in disaster management mode up until the timeline restart. It never got to sink in how he lost yet another person he let into his heart. It never got to sink in how all he had to do to get rid of Scorpion permanently was befriend him. He barely had the time to wonder if maybe he was cursed, if he was simply meant to be alone and any attempt to deviate from that only hurt whoever he reached out to. Who would perish because of him next, without him lifting a finger? Johnny Cage, with his nicknames for him? Enough of his students had already met their untimely end for even being around him. Perhaps he should go and endear himself to the likes of Shao Kahn or Shang Tsung, so that his pain may serve some sort of purpose.
And the goddess Cetrion's cruelty is staggering, lecturing him about love. As if she isn't one of the beings who have set him up for this fate...

alan grant frank wallace and norm breyfogle sweeties I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry that the character you based on your own anti-authoritarian philosophy and used to criticize capitalism along with a myriad of other political issues and later developed to be a libertarian socialist anarchist and wrote to be a misunderstood morally neutral philosophical character got turned into a sweaty discord moderator who keeps calling some poor woman his mommy and committing terrorism because of society like da joka baby. I’m so so sorry.

See my problem is I want all of my favorite characters to live a life that would make a Hobbit proud with enough food and rest and weed to fully recover from the toils…
But also putting them in situations where they’re more than a little fucked up and covered in blood and screaming their rage in the face of a god having the god flinch first is also fun.
