No, because what do you mean Arcane has completely rewritten the rulebook on queer representation in media, and it did it so effortlessly that it puts so many other shows to shame. Like, how are you going to tell me this animated series—ostensibly a spin-off of a video game—has given us some of the most nuanced, unapologetically powerful sapphic characters ever without reducing them to stereotypes, side plots, or, worse, trauma porn?

Vi and Caitlyn? Their dynamic is ELECTRIC. You’ve got Vi, the rough-edged, fiercely loyal, scrappy brawler with a tender side that could wreck anyone emotionally, and Caitlyn, the sharp, principled, deeply empathetic enforcer with a heart of gold. The way their relationship is built on mutual respect and trust while navigating all the insane, tragic chaos around them? Literal chef's kiss. And not once do we get the tired, lazy "coming out" narrative or the "but what about the gays?" rhetoric. Their queerness isn’t the story—it’s just a beautifully natural part of who they are. And THAT is revolutionary.

And let’s not even stop there. This show handles gender like it’s been waiting for everyone else to catch up. Characters like Sevika, who could give you chills with her sheer badassery and gender-nonconforming energy, exist unapologetically without the narrative ever feeling the need to spoon-feed us explanations. It’s just there, woven seamlessly into the fabric of the world.

So many shows claim to want to "normalize" queer relationships or push the envelope, but Arcane has quietly dominated the space by just writing characters who feel authentic. Their struggles are about class, power, loyalty, trauma, not token representation or forced diversity. This show said, “We’re just going to make some of the most layered, compelling characters you’ve ever seen—and oh yeah, some of them are gay. Keep up.”

Like, the bar wasn’t just raised—it was launched into the stratosphere. What do you mean this level of representation isn’t the norm yet? Arcane said, “We’re not asking for permission to exist. We’re just existing.” And that? That is art.

He's chuckling now, and offers a good hearted clap to Mirages shoulder. "Perhaps, but that would only amuse for so long. I will try to have them learn as they play, that'll ease their transition from home to sparkling centers, then to academies."

He's going to offer 2 cubes of Caf-En for him and one for Noah. "Take the second cube to Noah, page me on coms when you and the little ones are on the way."

This isn't his first rodeo with little ones, he's dusting off the playpen and tidying up his habsuite. He's also giving them a catalog for new toys he'll be happy to order from, just for the little ones. "Their younguns... I wouldn't DREAM of that. Now, I have this catalog, as most of what I have is prewar..." He's not showing his age, not all all, no sir.

A datapad is left on Mirages doorstep. An invitation... For sparkling sitting, to be used at any time. Datapad is signed "B"

Nope, the only thing she is guilty of is a lack of self control which you thought she had. It is not her fault that she drank an entire case and a half of Red Bull and Monster in one go.
