MelJayVik could’ve been the most dangerous polycule in America.

A polycule of a Black goddess who is the captain/Alpha of her two disaster mates, a Mexican immigrant who did more for the economy than the entire government, and a Czech revolutionary Jesus whose main goal is to help the poor and can give gender affirming care to all with his Jesus hands.

A conservative’s heart attack.

Not even counting jinx’s blue hair and pronouns. Women being the best fighters/shooters. Vi. Ambessa. Sevika.

Show an episode of Arcane on the fox channel and it would thanos snap their viewers.

The way I rewatched this moment— you could just hear how angry and in pain Rio is here—

In the end Rio is hurting and lashing out, collecting Billy’s soul was just the cover up for how hurt she was.

Didn’t Kathryn Hahn say in an interview, that Agatha and Rio know each other so well and there is stuff that Rio is also hiding?!

[echo-of-the-eye]

Can’t stop thinking about Viktor and Jon parallels cause I have tma brainrot and anytime I see anything even remotely similar I go “is that a magnus reference?”

Anyways thinking about the differences in the choices they did and did not make and how both of them came back from the dead and were involved in ending the world.

I talked a bit about it before but Jon chooses to come back to life and become a monster. Granted it wasn’t a fair choice but he did choose it. Meanwhile the end of the world was not his choice. As much as he thinks otherwise it was not his fault. He didn’t “accidentally” start the apocalypse, he wasn’t “manipulated into it” he straight up did not end the world. Jonah did. Using Jon. Yes he was manipulated to prepare for the ritual (still not his fault), but actually ending the world? Jonah did that. He straight up took control of his body. Jon was the tool. The key to open the door. Jonah shaped the key and turned it.

Viktor is the opposite. He did not choose to come back to life. In fact he had basically accepted his death and was actively suicidal. Jayce brought him back (and I don’t really blame him for that. He didn’t know the consequences and he was trying to save the man he loved). Viktor did however, almost end the world (and succeeded in some timelines? I’m confused). Now it’s hard to say how much of that was Viktor. He was heavily influenced by the arcane, but Jon was also heavily influenced by the Eye (not that you can really compare them). We don’t know how sentient the arcane is but we can guess that its main goal/instinct is to spread. If it worked through Viktor or if it was simply influenced him, altering his thoughts and feelings to more easily rationalize what he was doing. Either way Viktor would not have done what he did without the arcane. But he did do it. The arcane isn’t a person. You can’t really put all the blame there. And we did see that Viktor was still in there, deep down, enough that he could change his mind. Meaning that to a certain degree, he did choose it. Viktor’s actions were his own, even if they were influenced. He’s the most responsible for what happened. Jayce also carries some responsibility for bringing Viktor back in the first place and creating hextech alongside Viktor, but again, he did not know the consequences of that. Neither did Viktor at first. So how much are they to blame?

I just find it fascinating how such similar events (even if they are still vastly different) happen in two completely different series and how the characters had different levels of agency throughout it.

another thing amongst the ten thousand other whatever the hell happened in WL ep 5 that continues to baffle and confuse me is the Gem and BigB trade conversation??? Because. Gem. GeminiTay. Why do you need to suddenly be in favour of the 5Gs alliance???

Gem: No, BigB, here’s the thing. What I trade is actually not items, I actually trade social things. So, you know how your alliance really hates me right now?

BigB: Yes.

Gem: If you could just say good things every now and then, I’ll give you a creeper egg.

BigB: Okay, I will say that Cleo is hard to convince, but I will give my best.

Gem: Well, you don’t need to say— you know what, I’ve burned… Well, I’ve exploded the bridge with Cleo, so that’s okay.

BigB: Okay.

Gem: I think just maybe Pearl, y’know, Impulse, Scott. Y’know, just say nice things— it can just be, y’know, they’re talking and you go “oh Gem’s barn is so nice” just every now and then, okay? Alright?

BigB: Consider it done.

I just. Of all the things she could’ve asked from BigB, why was it for him to just. Say nice things about her to Pearl, Impulse and Scott??? After setting up a whole narrative where the whole server thinks Pearl and Impulse have been antagonising her, and knowing that Scott is already on her side (something along the lines of it anyway, judging from what she tells Pearl later on and her telling Jimmy and Scar that Scott trusts her enough for her to lure him into a trap)??? After making it clear that as of right now she doesn’t ‘love’ Pearl??? Girl what was the point of that. Girl. Girl your mind…no genuinely Gem GeminiTay I need to dissect your brain to finally figure out what’s going on

It is fair to say that the season 2 finale is the 5 stages of grief, thematically woven in the best way possible right?

[sokkas-swordgays]

severance asked the question of what if the love story of persephone & hades & eurydice & orpheus was told over and over again but once more and what if this time no one knew the words to the old songs they’ve been singing for millenium because science cut those parts away.

without the melody it stops becoming a question of if eurydice can ever escape, if orpheus will stop looking back but rather if spring will ever come again

2014 - realized I liked girls but began desperately trying to “pray the gay away”

2016 - stopped believing in Christianity as I began to better accept my sexuality

2020 - publicly came out as bisexual, and shortly after my gender crisis began

2021 - nonbinary ? we’ll run with it, I’m experimenting! I’m playing with it! I’ve been in college for a year so now I have the room to try some things out!

2023 - my first pride parade! and the gender crisis continues on…. I would really love more masculine features… a deeper voice is my dream… I see men with flat chests and I get so envious. maybe I’m trans?

2024 - FINALLY allowing myself to use multiple labels that feel right! nonbinary, transmasc, genderfluid, genderqueer, they all feel like ME! planning on starting HRT after I get married and get onto my fiancé’s health insurance. plan on getting married in a wedding dress because THAT’S WHAT I WANT! because gender is not a strict binary and I am allowed to play with it however I want! my gender is not for the pleasure or comfort of anyone else! I got to experience my SECOND pride finally feeling content with myself and my identity! I’m happy! I’m so happy :)

i have never been immune to listening to cool songs and imagining my characters performing them because its cool as fuck but not actually being a canon part of their arc. however i think i fucked up and listened to fluff's playlist too much because now that might end up actually for real being a canon part of his arc

[teenageukulelescreamo]

Pros: for the first time in four incredibly long years, I have my interests back! I can hyper fixate on things again! I can’t believe I’m having my first hyper fixation in FOUR YEARS again!

Cons: why did it have to be monster hunter, a notoriously difficult series of video games, why am I making dinner at 2:30 am.

🙂↕️🙂↕️okay okay okay so so far within the og divisions we have:

❤️: they strive for a world where words solve conflict. they pointedly did not use mics to express this. at the end of the track, they’re dynamic as brothers has shifted to a more equal dynamic, where ichiro doesn’t feel so compelled to raise them

💙: they strive for a world without violence and used their mics to resolve the conflict. at the end of the track, they reject their status quo and aim to find a new one to change the world without the use of violence

💛: wanted to be real with each other and used their mics to get that across. at the end of the track tho, they say that truth doesn’t really matter anyway and stay true to the selves they formed their bond with

🩶: a battle of wills using the mics. jakurai’s love for yotsutsuji manifested in the form of sacrificing himself and dohifu trying to stop him using their love for their bond as mtr. at the end of the track it’s that love that’s saved jakurai, healed hifumi and elevated doppo’s status at work

and things have changed for all they’ve stayed the same so i’m genuinely curious where nagosaka fits in this lol

amira !!!! 🤍🫂 i hope you have been doing well this week :] i have come to very eagerly ask for rinmira crumbs if that is okay !! the birthday art still lives in my head, and i wonder … how you two met and what led to such a cute birthday party ?! 🥹 and / or .. what were the first impressions of each other like ?! OR ANY rinmira crumbs hehe ( i am a bit greedy )

Evieeeeee!!! Hi my love I hope you’re doing amazing!! I actually have answered how we met before so I’ll link that here!!

As for what led to that bday party, it happens wayyy down in our relationship!! If you zoom in on that art you can see a ring on my left finger 🙈 so that party happens sometime after we get engaged.

I’d like to think he set up a surprise party for me the night before my bday after a long week. I’ve never had a surprise party and am usually the one making plans on my special day and this one year, I’m just not feeling it. So he takes it upon himself to do the party planning for me. There’s not a lot of ppl, just close friends (but that’s how I’d want it to be anyways).

He tells me he’s taking me out to dinner, hence the outfit, but then drives me to osamu’s place for a quick pitstop since rin wanted “to borrow one of his ties”. Except he goes up to samu’s building and five minutes later, calls me who’s waiting in the car, to come up too so I can help him pick the right tie. And that’s when everyone surprises me 🙈🙈 If you ask rinnie, he’ll tell you he got the best head of his life that night 🤭

First impressions!!!

I thought rin was hot from day one, but extremely intimidating. Therefore he became one of those crushes where you pretend the guy doesn’t exist lol

His first impression of me was that I was really pretty and that I looked nice. So he thought he’d come up to me, say hi and maybe some small talk but was met with me playing hard to get. Which he found so amusing bc he loves the chase. And thus I became that one cheerleader that suna rintaro always torments. Or as he would say it, “flirts with” lol But basically all of Inarizaki knows about how he won’t leave me alone and that I might look like I hate it but secretly enjoy his attention
