ARCANE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS: SEASON 2 OPENING THEME (2024)

[atomicjellyb3an]

The Caitlyn and Mel team up having the complete opposite effect to the Vi and Jayce team ups is so funny 😭

mel after she pops up with a cooler design and cool ass powers and kills her mom. Only to discover her man absconded w his man into the ether

The only people in Arcane thus far acting with any sort of decency are Ekko & Mel. While they're on opposite sides of the river, both have been through hell and back in the last week(?) or so and they're still prioritizing peace and preserving life. Other characters should take notes. Just saying.

I watch Arcane for the plot.

The plot:

[monophobix]

doomed family vs doomed family

Love Language.

[ajlockwood]

one of the most powerful things about arcane in my opinion is that it managed to capture so many forms of love, so please bear with me while we delve into this analysis.

[SPOILERS FOR SEASON 2 OF ARCANE!]

vander’s love for vi and jinx was the one of a good father; he raised them like he promised their mother, and for as long as his consciousness lived, he was determined to protect them. silco also grew to love jinx like a daughter, in his own way. she wasn’t just one of his most prized assets: while he was ruthless to most, he had a tendency of going “softer” on her, and was desperate to save her when he thought she was gone. singed loved his daughter so much that he was willing to go to unspeakable lengths to bring her back. and despite everything, ambessa and mel were still mother and daughter, and in the moment of death, they recognised how much they meant to each other. a mother stabbed by her own daughter, and yet, with her final breath, she expressed how proud she was of who mel had became — quite similar to silco’s death.

caitlyn and vi have always been romantic, this third act showing the passionate kind of love they had. ekko loved jinx in a most pure way, a love he carried with him since childhood and somehow persisted. mel and jayce had their troubles in the beginning, but they grew to trust each other and became very significant to one another with time.

vi and jinx were one of the most important of all, because they clashed and fell apart, and even through it all, even with so much hatred and hurt and grief, they never let go. they loved each other beyond words. their love was powerful enough to bring forgiveness. with isha, jinx showed all this love that was still inside her, the love for a sister she thought she had lost. silco and vander too clashed and nearly killed each other (silco succeeded) and yet their love persisted.

and then it concluded with jayce and viktor. their love was transcendental, beyond simply romantic or platonic bonds even. ever since they first met, without their knowledge, their lives had always been intertwined. it all started with them, and it ended with them. they clashed to near death, but jayce didn’t let go, and viktor couldn’t either. “it was affection that held us together”, viktor said. they were both alive because of each other. they owed each other so much. it was their love’s power that saved the universe of its collapse. again, a love powerful enough to forgive and leave everything behind.

so yes, I am very emotional and may have many conflicting thoughts about some aspects of these last acts, but the portrayal of love was something that I felt deeply throughout the entire series and can’t go unnoticed. all in all, the message of the show can be summarized in silco’s line: “the greatest thing you can do in life is find the power to forgive”.

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS LOOK AT MY POOR SWEET BABY OH MY GOD PLEASE

[spoondrifts]

mel really out here feeding my meljayvik polyamory delusions with "he'll come back to us"

[xxmisukii]

THE REASON WHY THERE ARE SO MANY PARALLELS BETWEEN VIKTOR AND MEL IS BECAUSE THIS WHOLE TIME MEL WAS AN EMPATH/ A MIRROR (she was mirroring Viktor)

(I’m not delusional at all :D )
