Damn, the worst thing I did was steal a piece of strawberry laffy taffy from the gas station.. (which my parents noticed and went in and paid for it.) and I thought I was a criminal.

when i was really little and had just learned how to write my full name . i noticed my twin brother had really messy handwriting. while mine was like … as nice as it could be for a little kid. so i wrote my name in his handwriting on a wall and i waited to see who our parents would get mad at . and they blamed him. and that was when my life of crime began

This scene has always killed me because this bitch just fully killed a man and scared Silco shitless. And she's just.....

Oh my god I’m losing my mind this is just so /pos

Everyone who’s been talking to me knows i’ve been working on this comic about wlws and cats for a while and i’m so so happy it’s finally here!!! :D

I can't lie, I find it very odd that posts cautioning people against donating to individual* campaigns and promoting the idea of supporting mutual aid efforts and community kitchens in Gaza can rack up 10k+ notes--while a post promoting a community kitchen (that I can personally vouch for) struggles to get 1k notes, and has barely pulled in a couple hundred dollars over the past week.

I actively try to avoid using guilting tactics in fundraising, but this is weird to me. It's like people are using these posts as an excuse not to do things they already didn't want to do anyway, rather than actually taking their recommendations on board...

*In my experience, these campaigns often support large extended families + their neighbours

MAQMAP is a community kitchen aiming to support families in the Mawasi Al-Qarara area.

Season 1: parallels are just nice addition to the story, making it deeper if you notice them

Season 2: parallels explain the plot, characters' actions and motivations

I have huge problem with Jayce being stuck in that chasm in alt_timeline as a parallel to Viktor's life (beside the fact that Viktor just watched him suffer when he could easily help him but not the point). This parallel just doesn't work for me because writers fucked it up.

First, i must say that parallel itself is not entirely correct.

Jayce breaks his leg on accident while Viktor was disabled because of gasses where he grew up. Personal mistake vs something beyond your control.

Jayce crawls his way up to survive in the wild while Viktor was fighting his way up among people. Fight against nature vs fight against society.

These little nuances wouldn't even matter if the show wasn't trying to convince you that Jayce understood Viktor and his motives after this expirience.

Because he didn't.

More precisely, writers didn't.

They wrote "you've always wanted to cure what you thought were weaknesses" speaking about Viktor's leg and desease and this line ruins everything because it's simply not true.

It was never shown that Viktor saw it as weaknesses. He just wanted to save himself from dying.

So the parallel doesn't work for me because in the end it just looks like Jayce judged wrong (even though the show sets it up like he was right)

Melvik or something

Thank you for this post to give me an idea

Can I just say that I really fucking HATE how the majority of the Arcane fandom praising Season 2 is deeply in the mindset of Piltover in reality? Like, it's not even funny, and I don't know where to begin.

I'll just start with Silco because he's this huge metaphorical character who is clearly written as the embodiment of a long list of sociopolitical agendas in the real world. And before I start, pardon my English, since it's not my first language.

I know y'all in the Anglo-American sphere tend to focus more on classism, inequality and police brutality theme. But the way I see it, THAT and every single dialogue plus the specific word choice of Silco & Sevika literally SCREAMS of postcolonial discourse (I guess F. Fanon is most well-known to y'all) and even some part of M. Foucault's philosophy, etc. I'm writing "etc." because the list will go on forever if I describe all these creepy historical parallels between the depiction of Zaun's internal conflict and what real countries that have been (or still are) colonies went through, and what real colonizer propaganda looked like during that time—like how those characters who fight for the nation's independence are the big bad villain and psychotic monsters who need "redemption arc" therapy, while those who cooperate with the oppressors are the good-hearted familial heroes of this story.

So upon reflection, if this fandom were to be a collective intelligence, we should have asked ourselves, "Is this show truly not problematic for portraying such a character as villainous?" and thus, "Is this show thematically implying far-right propaganda?" even before Season 2 presented us with this insane plot that glamorized the militaristic fascist aristocrat proclaiming martial law as a 'romantic revenge arc'.

But what did the majority of the fandom do since 2022? They were so busy shitting on this dead villain, claiming he has done so much wrong that he doesn't even deserve to be praised as a character. So instead of trying to understand where this character's point of view is coming from, they blindly hate him to the point where they are now fabricating a list of crimes that he didn't even commit, editing false information on the fandom wiki profile.

What's more frustrating to me is that I thought the problem was media illiteracy all along, but oh no, I was being way more optimistic than the reality. Now that I’ve read all these interviews from the showrunner and main writer—Linke and Overton—I get the sense of why Season 2 turned out like that. The more they babble on about this show, the clearer it becomes that they don't even acknowledge how messed up their political views are, which are so far-right. Taking the seemingly-centrist line doesn't make you fair, you're just passively siding with the oppressors. And lesbian sex scene doesn't make this show "progressive", in fact, hiding oppressor fantasy behind a rainbow flag makes it even more treacherous.

So yeah, I think critical voices should be much louder than this, but watching the majority of this fandom neglacting problems only to praise the show? I think my hope for humanity kind of get lost more and more as time passes, lol.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! ✨ I finished and started the year doing this drawing of Mel Medarda from Arcane! I started this drawing as a study in chiaroscuro and color theory, but it became my favorite drawing of the year (We just started the year) Photo reference by: Lindsay Adler

Was looking at refs and since Viktor has two different leg braces I was wondering, do we think he wears them simultaneously?? The refs don't perfectly line up perspective-wise so it's hard to tell but parts of the one he wears during the Hexcore scenes look like they could maybe line up with the brace that he wears over his clothes, but also some parts really don't and look like they'd be super uncomfy. Also HOW does he take these on and off. Experts weigh in

[galacticrainestorm]

The passing process once again!

✨🌟✨Happy new year!!✨🌟✨

Best wishes and all the success possible for all of you for 2025!!
