for the record I'm keeping my #arcane and #arcane critical tags separate because 1) it's rude to go into a show's main tag to complain about it and 2) this way I can still go into the arcane tag on my own blog to enjoy season 1 stuff without being perpetually disappointed by season 2

#there were only two things that I actually got hyped for in season 2 (as opposed to The Entirety Of Season 1)#1. the vi and jinx fight scene with that awesome song #2. vander recognising powder #the whole family thing after that made me cry but the circumstances leading up to it were weird. wdym there's no jinx going back to sevika #and isha after losing track of vander. and isha just THROWS herself at her and sevika's like what happened to you and jinx is like I saw #vander. and sevika's like girl vander's dead are you on the crazy pills again but jinx is INSISTENT so sevika's like fine. maybe you should #call your sister. and jinx is like HA! and I'M the crazy one?! and it's a whole thing where you see her decide to reach out and that she's #been keeping tabs on vi because she 'likes keeping an eye on people who have betrayed her' but she just really needs to find vander and #make sure he was real. and despite it all vi is the one she trusts most with this. also sevika should branch off to continue the rebellion #storyline bc that's what she originally betrayed vander for and jinx is probably crazy anyway. *someone* needs #to keep their head on straight and let's face it that's been sevika since day one.#I guess this post is #arcane critical #now #oops #I could fix it though #I don't think a lot of the story works because past act 1 it isn't shaped by character choices #but at least make them TALK like themselves #and create the connective tissue required for it to be believable that they'd choose to fulfill these plot points #because let's be real jinx would try to find vander on her own and fuck something up before she ever admits that she needs vi #jinx doesn't like NEEDING anyone. she doesn't like being weak. that's her whole damage #powder was weak and jinx doesn't want to be weak #because weakness breeds suffering #not saying she'd NEVER reach out to vi if she really truly needed it. she kidnapped her that one time. it just wouldn't happen that fast
