Arcane s2 spoilers

Powder in episode 7 is so unsettling to me. They neurotypicalized my girl. She’s in regular girl clothes and has a boyfriend and a stable job and is able to think rationally and also work towards her goals and reach her potential…she’s no longer #hashtag relatable. That whole arc had me like “put it back!!!!! I need that girl to be fucking insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!��

#sillyposting #and shitposting #as soon as they started the Ekko and Powder love story I’m like come onnnn not my emotional support ‘I’m not like other girls’ girl #JOKINGGGGGG kind of #the narrative framing a Jinx free of any neurodivergence as the ideal self she should strive to achieve makes me cringe #like of course they should frame recovery as a good thing #but there idea of a recovered or ‘normal’ Jinx seems so far divorced from her character that she may have well been #*their #an entirely different character #I don’t know. it feels insidious somehow #I can’t explain the gut feeling well but it gives me vibes of autistic masking and the idea there’s a version of you that is palatable #and good and all you have to do is work endlessly to reach this impossible standard of normality that you will never reach #with the cards you were dealt #it’s just the VIBES I get man #that actually might be the entire point of that section (assuming the writers are competent) but I fear people will walk away from it #thinking omg she could have been so normal without the trauma! and not unpack anything else about it #jinx was right when she said there’s no world where she can be ‘good’ because there’s not!!! not in the uncompromising way society #wants her to be!!!!#the moral of the story is that if the narrative would have had her recover (which I wish it would have)#everyone around her would need to come to terms with the fact that she is traumatized and there is no world where she is not fundamentally #changed by that trauma #but she can still work on becoming a better person in spite of it #even if she can never become that idealized non-traumatized girl that she will never be #does this make ANY sense #I will say. At least Vi kinda tried I guess lol #but the Ekko thing I don’t know it just!!! hm.#something about it…
