now that arcane is over and there are going to be more shows, can we talk about how we collectively NEED a star guardian show

Jaysh Allen, the best quarterback the piltover pills have ever seen

and it suddenly makes so much sense why it’s Jayce’s hand that’s putting the mask on Viktor.

we all know Viktor is not actually dead — he’s gonna get resurrected again, and probably made into his LoL accurate self by Signed.

Jayce is the one who kills him and therefore allows this to happen.

he is the one to create the Machine Herald.

I’m genuinely surprised that people are getting this riled up over Cait x Maddie. I mean I think it’s pretty obvious that this is just Cait trying to cope aka making another bad decision to do so.

I mean…just look at how differently their scenes are depicted…and it’s done beautifully too.

Caitlyn and Maddie are never shot or positioned level to the camera indicating how they’re on different emotional pages in contrast to Cait and Vi who are almost nearly always shot level to each other.

Caitlyn doesn’t make eye-contact with Maddie. In most of their interactions, her back is turned to her. I mean compare that to the number of face-to face interactions that we have with Vi and Caitlyn where their noses are pretty much inches away from each other.

It’s actually pretty laughable how insane the contrast is. I mean there’s plenty more screenshots of Vi and Caitlyn’s intimacy versus how Caitlyn seems so disconnected from Maddie. I don’t think the show could’ve made it more obvious that Caitlyn isn’t interested in Maddie and she’s just simply using her to fill up the void that Vi left.

It does make you feel awful for Maddie as she is the one who initiates most of their interactions and physical touches whilst Caitlyn isn’t even looking at her. I am not sure why twitter is hating on her so much when she genuinely seems to care for Caitlyn as a person too. If we should be feeling bad for anyone here then it’s her. She’s in love with someone who doesn’t love her back.

Maddie has the death card written over her but I hope she and Caitlyn get to talk it out. And honestly I hope Caitlyn apologises for pretty much using her romantic advances as a rebound.

This is what Jayce sees when looking at Viktor's followers:

He has clearly gained some form of insight into what they look like under the hood, but I do appreciate how HARD it is right now to figure out who is correct between Viktor turning people into Arcane constructs and Jayce killing him and them all. It's clear they aren't fully human anymore and are changed as people, but the result so far seems positive.

I am most excited for that reveal...

Vander: I've always liked the name Violet. Silco: *snorts a line* Hey, you know what I like?

[holderofthebees]

if renegade (we never run) isn’t at LEAST in your top 5 songs for the arcane soundtrack of both seasons I’m sorry but I just don’t trust you

[holderofthebees]

every one of you mfs who wouldn’t shut the hell up about how Caitlyn was a super evil and super discriminatory dictator owes us all an apology. we see her in power and ALL she does is tell Ambessa to maybe not use violence for everything and then turns right back to the good guys. y’all just wanted to be mad and whine about something with only made up, out of context evidence that fit your narrative and I hope you learned from this

[holderofthebees]

I’m gonna say it: some of y’all being way too aggressive with forcing homosexuality onto actual straight characters is part of why men still have trouble with genuine platonic relationships.

not everyone doing it but some of y’all mfs interpret EVERYTHING as gay and im so tired of people ignoring the levels and depth of friendship between characters like Viktor and Jayce because you’re horny and annoying about it.

the writers did an excellent job portraying a deep friendship between men, which is not something you see done well a ton in popular media because PEOPLE LIKE YOU STIGMATIZE IT. let men have friendships without sexualizing it.

I’m not saying to not write your horny fanfiction or draw your horny art bc there’s always an AU where you’re right, just that choosing to ignore everything the writers worked to do for male friendship and saying it’s all actually them being gay is willful ignorance and a very similar vibe to men seeing girls be friends and joking about how they wish they’d just have sex.

so far the funniest thing abt season two to me is vi and cait. they finally kissed and i was like “damn. they’re lesbians AND cops, their rate of domestic violence must be insane” and two minutes later they immediately start hitting each other

[holderofthebees]

some guy in the arcane idea room: who is gonna be jayce’s love interest? she’s gotta be interesting

a genius: imagine a peace-loving politician who’s from noxus right

everyone else: okay that’s a cool combo

genius: and her mom is just a fucking baller who also brings twinks with her everywhere

everyone else: what

genius: imagine the biggest dick energy ever, double it, and then put that on an incredibly muscular black woman

No but Jayce must have been so confused. Like imagine you almost get exploded by a terrorist attack and your partner almost dies so to save him you, a) discover that he has a purple leg because he let your decade long science project drink his blood or whatever and then b) use his notes to do more illegal and immoral magic-science to encase him in a goop chamber so your decade long science project can rebuild his body.

Then you sleep next to his goop-cocoon for who knows how long before suddenly he's crawling out of the goop naked as the day he was born and purple from head to toe, then when you're all like "I finally understand now" (crazy btw) "let's do science together for the rest of our days <3" he suddenly and without warning tells you he wants a divorce and then nopes out of not only your office but the country -- still purple and naked as the day he was born btw

Like. What do you even do with that?

[holderofthebees]

kinda love this little family of fucked up ladies we��ve got going on

The most important revelation of all:

Jinx is NOT homophobic!
