There's this one conversation c!Ranboo and c!Techno have about c!Tommy, where c!Techno is joking about how c!Tommy would totally kill his pets (in this case Steve) and then go all "you can't hold me accountable for that, it was a full minute ago, I'm a changed person!" and what I find really funny about that conversation is how much it sounds like something someone might say about c!Technoblade.
(It sounds exactly like how c!Techno reacts to people bringing up c!Tubbo's execution)
Like c!Tommy and c!Techno both hate each other for their shared flaws. They say the same things when arguing why the other sucks.
But also on top of that, they both make up the same flaws for each other that the other doesn't even have. Like neither c!Tommy nor c!Techno would ever lay a hand on someone's pet (outside of self-defense), but they both think the other would.
(They both think the other is selfish and aggressive and doesn't care about anyone but themself, but in reality they're both kind and fiercely protective under all the layers of gruffness and abrasiveness, though in different ways)

ok,ok,ok. Look I'm completely going FERAL(tm) on main for the idea of a younger shang tsung. Early days dark magic apprentice or just freshly newly becoming a master. Like freshly cursed. Freshly scheming bastard under shao kahns court. You know early days when shang tsung basically betrayed his home realm of earthrealm (srry not srry im retconing back to his og timeline. It makes more sense and is better lore and storywise from him to be from earthrealm and absolutely says fuck you guys im switching to team outworld because shao kahn promised me shit. Oh fuck wait,he trapped me and is using me as a pawn. Oh shit. Oh well,time for scheming) You know like he's been around maybe 90 or 100yrs give or take. His physical appearance is maybe mid late 30s. And he's still trying to get the hang of his cursed to whither and age less he takes the life force/souls of others. (You guys should know by now his curse. But ya know) but yeah. Young/early days courtly sorcerer shang tsung.
Like I'm so down for a PROPPER early days shang tsung that isn't plot convenient for other characters,that isn't changing his whole personality to fit or fill plot holes,that has him actually brash,arrogant,but cunning and very fucking intelligent and dangerous. (He got better with tact over time,look carefully how he carries himself in mk11. And then 12. And see the difference. Mk11 shang is smoldering,tactful,cunning,but poised and courtly. Mk12 shang is a younger,more brash,early days,cocky,more arrogant,less tactful. Bratty even. But he learned to be better thru hardship,war,kombat,torture under shao kahn,etc. So having the idea of him not going thru that. Is interesting to say the least. What consequences would be? If certain trials and tribulations never came to fruition? Like kitana succeeds to take down shao kahn earlier on. Like shang never got tortured by shao kahn. Kitana granted him a little bit more leeway. And due to her not really needing earthrealms help. Liu kang thus never really having that bond quite like they did. A loooot would change. And it would have been more interesting of a plot than what we got. Shang tsung being a bigger threat than ever while simultaneously being the only one person who they could have the snowball chance in hell to defeat maybe shinnok or the gods or even a corrupt fire god liu kang or all three. Like this would be the true deadly alliance. Lao and shang tsung team up anyone?! Helloooo. The blueprint is right there!)
But yeah young,smug,stupud sexy shang tsung.
Im down if the story is written better,if the story is written by competent people. Who care about the characters. The lore. And the game outside of hype and making it a "marketable plushie" (tm)
Like unf
Like look at a young smug shang tsung.

@arpinlupin replied to your post “// pictured: two idiots trying to find a Specific...”:
Aside from the start of 813 and Ediths Swan Neck it is also slightly mentioned at the start of The Crystal Stopper when Gilbert and Vaucheray are fighting he says "Blood! Blood! you know very well i dont want that". The irony of the Lupin books is that they mention Lupin dosent like blood and violence in the books where Lupin murders people
// Sorry this has been sitting in my drafts for a week but yes!! You get it. It's so interesting how Lupin says many times that he does not like violence and blood but he does in fact, do a decent amount of Violence and Blood.
I've noticed there is a slight tendency of people to take the general box™ of a trope and apply it onto the characters like a checklist (in this case, the aesthetics of the gentleman thief/phantom thief trope), which leads to a misconception that Arsène Lupin, the Gentleman Thief of Gentleman Thieves, is strictly non-violent. Which, he definitely thinks and acts like it sometimes, but also: he's a lying liar who lies. He's so good at it he even fools himself.
