you just know Caitlyn had to tell her to stop wearing shoes in the house 😭

Everyone (including me) going crazy over the (un?)doomed yaoi, canon Yuri and doomed straights is cool and all but

CAN WE AGREE THESE TWO WERE THE REAL MVPS ???

[cipher26]

Okay, according to the Twitch interview Necrit had, the Caitvi sex scene was written to be longer, but had to be shortened because of rating concerns from Riot (which is not surprising, MelJayce's scene was even lighter than this.) Action was supposed to continue on the ground when Caitlyn leaned down out of the camera's view.

So... Hopefully storyboard or something in a blu-ray release? Snyder cut ft. boobs? Full episode screenwriting release? GIVE ME SOMETHING PLEASE!! I don't think it was fully animated but I'm sure someone in the fandom will gladly either animate it or turn it into a comic.

We finish this together.

I have not watched arcane but I follow enough people that do to have to general idea of what it's about and I am calling it right now the only reason this fandom demonize Vi is because they like Jinx and by extension Silco so all the bullshit ass enabling he did with Jinx for years will be forgotten because Vi punches her for killing everybody she ever loved and then the people in this fandom who don't have even a quarter of a brain cell to rub together will be like well Jinx suffered so much because of Vi because she had suicidal thoughts and see people meanwhile Vi deadass saw everyone she loved die in front of her, then lose her only remaining family to Silco and then spend her whole childhood in prison. Like the people in this fandom can't comprehend morally grey characters or even think that their faves can be complex people who can do bad things if the narrative shifts that way.

Look me in the eye and tell me these people have a single thought in their head while watching the show because the writers said these two seasons are the Jinx and Vi story. That they will probably make more arcane stuff but these seasons are focused on the sisters and so why do I see post like I wish Vi didn't have so much screen time or I wish Vi and Cait story wasn't the main focus here and the show focused more on "insert any background narrative they wanted to see" like bitch go fuck yourself.

Like I have never seen such a large group of people utterly incapable of media literacy it's like they need to be handfed concepts like:-

"A doomed narrative means no happy endings at most you get a bittersweet one"

"Your fave can be a bad person and still be your fave you don't have to justify them as a good or reasonable person (and demonize their equally traumatized sister looking at you weirdly purist Jinx fans) to continue liking them.

"Metaphors and parallels shouldn't be spoken or spelled out for you. You as a viewer are suppose to understand then yourself using your brain"

"Good people can do some bad things this doesn't make then irredeemable and bad people can do some good things this doesn't suddenly makes them fully redeemable"

"If a shows ending is ambiguous it doesn't mean the writers were too pussy to commit to a proper ending it means they purposefully made it ambiguous so their can be more than one interpretation for it"

"Not all good stories needs have good or even satisfying happily ever after usually in a doomed narrative you just survive to live another day"

"Just because someone's trauma manifest in a more visible way doesn't mean another characters didn't suffer at all (still looking at you Vi haters)"

To summarise do I think the people who can't see a nuanced story like arcane without generalizing everything in black and white and then complaining about how it's bad are all brainless idiots with the mental capacity of a third grader with no capacity for media literacy or reflection. Yes. Is it probably a baseless generalization. Probably. Do I care. No,fuck you'll and all your arcane hate post you all tricked me into reading by disguise them as actually analysis.

If I can pick up on the subtle nuances and non linear narrative of arcane by just reading Tumblr posts and watching some clips on YouTube you people have no reason to have this shitty of an opinion when you actually consumed the full media.

Y'all I just realized one thing

Maddie wasn't aiming at Caitlyn's head, she was aiming at Caitlyn's neck.

Which means that Caitlyn's death wouldn't be that quick, and that it would be agonizing. As she would probably die by choking on her own blood or smt.

That's straight up EVIL. And let's not forget that Maddie even mocked her before shooting. What an evil bitch really

[cipher26]

So anyway what I've really been wanting is an Arcane spinoff show, with Cait, Vi and Jinx. But it's a comedy.

Like all the great jokes about jinx and cait feuding. I just think it'd be fun.

Ekko can come too.

Two times Caitlyn watched Vi eat 🤭

[cipher26]

[cipher26]

listen i love caitvi god they are adorable and the potential is SO there but wdym they went through all of that just for the last line to be “dirt under her fingernails.” have we learned absolutely nothing

[cipher26]

oh the way Vi looks at Caitlyn...

[cipher26]

Caits face and reaction to finally getting her cupcake touched by Vi though

"FINALLY" she definitely thought, i would've cried if Vi ate me up too..

[cipher26]

caitvi sketch

[cipher26]

Vi refused to wear the beret but Cait made her keep it on her is so..cute, the way she crumbles at the slightest words from Cait is just so accurately lesbian

[cipher26]

I have so many thoughts on Arcane which I'll get to eventually, but before that I just have to say...

ANYONE who is complaining about how short and rushed this season was, or how little time we got with certain characters/plots... don't blame the creators or the writers.

Blame the streamers. Those studios, Netflix in particular, are the ones who are responsible for destroying TV and cutting seasons in half, and then limiting most shows to 2 seasons. Television has suffered so much because of their greed. Those studios aren't run by artists, they're run by moneymen. They don't care about your shows, they don't care about the stories or the characters or the fans, they just want money. And they mismanage their money so much it's fucking sickening.

And yes, it is a choice. It doesn't have to be this way, and there can be exceptions. The finale of the last season of Stranger Things was 2 and a half hours long. It was it's own movie.

So blame the streamers. Blame them every single day until we get greedy asshole's hands off of our art so that we have the space to present our stories in the way they deserve.

EDIT: To be clear when I say streamers, I'm talking about the studios, particularly the ones like Netflix/Disney/Hulu that can only be watched on the internet via streaming apps. Broadcast television used to be, and still is in some cases (Blue Bloods, Grey's Anatomy season 87...), 20-23 episode seasons. With story and nuance and side quests and growth.
