#I'm at act 1 scene 2

[viiinz]

I fucking love characters who are just little schemers, talking shit behind everyone's back, envious little creatures, here to gossip, here to manipulate, and here to stir things up <3

[silentsockfeet]

with the obvious addendum that act 3 isn’t out yet and we can’t form true opinions until the show’s officially done, i’m still really feeling like it could have maybe benefited from a third season. they’re hitting all the right plot points and those moments are full of really intense emotion, but everything in the middle feels so underwhelming in comparison and so much of it still feels rushed to me. idk

[brionysea]

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

I have learnt things about Geto that I wish I could unlearn

CLOWN ON CLOWN ACTION

romance shenanigans

I long rested often but apparently I still missed dialogue because I didn't go enough. Ngl I feel like I missed more dialogue with Gale than anyone else, because I don't have him in my party that often. Some characters stories don't feel as complete or moving because of that and I'm super irritated.

I was going to do another playthrough anyway but there is so much to miss in this game I feel like my first go was incomplete and a waste of time, I'm in act 3 and not starting over.

yeah I'm crying over the very last track of the arcane soundtrack being a reprise of the first track. yeah I'm crying over the bridge theme coming back in to tie everything together at the end of the show. I'm a sucker for things ending with callbacks to the way they began WHAT CAN I SAY

you know what, it's been a good weekend for content. i got malevolent yesterday where john's spouting off about how much he loves arthur left and right, i got MAWS today with significant screentime for my favorite boy ever, anime prince slade wilson, and i don't know what the fuck else happened in HOTD but i DID watch the rhaenicent reunion on twitter and it fucking ate

[boilingheart]

First of all, shut the FUCK up stop TALKING to me like that and FUCK ME already WHAT THE HELL!!

Second, this interaction is SO fucking funny, actually. You get out of a horrible fight with shadow monsters and when u turn around Gale has a raging boner 😭😭😂😂

it is absolutely criminal that i can't just jump his bones on the fucking SPOT after this interaction. if i had it MY way i woulda [this statement has been redacted by the advice of my lawyers]

(also oh my god. gale. in front of EVERYONE?? you're saying this to me. IN FRONT OF EVERYONE???????)

[agentark]

maybe Clara would've had less trouble giving up traveling with the Doctor if she and Danny had any actual chemistry

ball dur's gait 3 is ruining my life

[aeide-thea]

still picking my way thru s3 of the witcher episode by agonizing episode but it's going SO slowly bc every time i watch one it's just like. right. this show is a B movie now and not in a good way

[spaceprincessleia]

Right, this is barely an outline, but I came up with a cute idea for the Velcinta action adventure with Kleya and probably Aphra, and I’d like to share a scene outline with you. The rest will be 100 % inspired by Flight of the Silverbird from Two Steps from Hell, and probably be the end of act 1.

“What in the galaxy is our cargo?! Kleya?”

“That is not for us to know.”

“Us? You mean you don’t know either?”

“We do as he tells us, Vel. But you wouldn’t know anything about that, would you?”

“You don’t know. He didn’t tell you. He didn’t tell you!”

“Well, you lost them, didn’t you?”

“Barely. Who were they? What do they want?”

“You’re off course,” Kleya changed topic, a displeased frown on her face. “You should be on your way to Coruscant.”

“I know. We just got attacked, remember?”

“Vel, we can’t afford to lose time. Get back. On course. To Coruscant.”

Vel hated when she talked to her like that, her voice as condescending as if she were talking to a child. “I said I know. Let us catch our breath for a bit, okay?”

“Catch your breath?! Cinta? Let me speak with Cinta.”

Vel rolled her eyes, and turned the commlink’s screen to face Cinta.

“Hey, Cinta. A little help here?” Vel noticed Kleya’s tone slightly soften, and she knew Cinta heard it, too, even if she couldn’t tell her.

Cinta shrugged. “Vel’s the pilot. What do you want me to do? We’ll take five, and then we get back on course, like you said. It’ll be fine.”

When Vel returned to the screen, Cinta moved her hand horizontally across her throat, straight and with palm down. “Cut her off,” she mouthed silently.

Vel nodded slightly, and interrupted Kleya; she hadn’t listened to her for a few seconds, and no idea what she was on about. “Kleya? I think you’re breaking off.” She shook the comm link theatrically, switching back and forth between holding it up to her ear, and staring at the screen the screen with feigned confusion. “Well, everything’s under control here, situation, uh, normal. I’ll let you know as soon as we’re back on course. Sorry, what? Hang on, I’ll— “ She hit the button, and the device switched off.

Cinta snorted, eyebrows raised in amusement. “Situation normal? Really?”

Vel scrunched her nose and grinned. “Well. It worked, didn’t it? Now …” She directed her attention to the control panel of the ship. “Let’s see where we are.”

“You want to enter atmosphere?”

“Yeah. Just for a spin, fly off the adrenaline. We’ll be fine for a few minutes, right? And if there were hostiles here, we would know by now.”

Cinta held both hands up, palms facing away from her. “Like I said, you’re the pilot. And I wouldn’t be alive right now without you, so, yeah, let’s go for a spin.”
