And then I noticed that jinx’s balloon she flies in on has bunny ears painted on it. And markings on the side to match her little goggles

Pain. Suffering even

Sorry but It's actually so annoying how much people downplay the crucial role piltover's corrupt council games played in derailing jayce/viktor's work and pretty much putting shackles around their lives. The council is directly responsible for and directly FUNDING so much of the misery that happens in this show, before the story has even started. Before Powder ever finds the gemstone. They single-handedly doom half of the region to death.

Just during the show: Jayce wanted to create magic to aid and uplift the common people, the council wanted trade route instant teleportators to make themselves richer.

Jayce & Viktor wanted to work on technology to help miners and steelworkers and artisans who are trying to survive in the industrial hellscape of piltover and zaun; the council wants it shelved for another 20 years. (yes, heimer is part of the corrupt council - no matter how much his image is laundered by the fandom.)

They are inept and self-serving leaders, elected by themselves and their blood inheritances, utterly obsessed with ultimate profit. You can really see how parasitic their relationship is to the people at the beggining of act 1. Jayce is a token nameless life, so disposable to them that they were going to burn down all of his research and throw out all of his titles, making him not just a lower-house vassal but an EXILE, and the only reason why that doesn't happen is because they realize how much money they can suck out of his work.

This applies to Viktor too. See the way that Heimerdinger tells him over and over again that no other paths can be taken, he has 'fulfilled his purpose' and he should be content to die. See how Mel looks at Viktor like a bug she wants to squash under her palm when he rejects the idea of making weapons for council. See how they speak over him and only address Jayce, as if he's worth less than nothing.

You are only as valuable as the profit you're willing to create. You are a problem that has to be dealt with as soon as you refuse their orders. They have the power to ruin your life, and if they find an excuse, they will. This is a direct threat pointed at Jayce & Viktor during ACT2, when Jayce is pressured into becoming one of them to protect 'the bottom line profit' and, personally speaking, to avoid that ire being redirected towards Viktor. He's pushed into compliance and told a target has been painted on his back.

Arcane jayvik are doomed in big part not for wanting to do harm, but being forced to exist under the beck and call of billionaire leeches. They are both immigrants. They are both struggling to get a degree and keep themselves afloat and they want to help people so goddamn much but they have to keep postponing their dreams to serve uncaring masters. I really wish there was more fan content focused on these very real bonds of understanding and solidarity between them.

When Viktor says 'Jayce will understand' that's not a fluke; he's lived in this environment for years. He knows Jayce is being pushed down the same way that he is and that deep down they've been kept captive by the exact same people. When Jayce agrees that Viktor should do whatever he needs to do to keep himself alive, he means that from the heart.

[jm-chrome]

Don't worry she just got a nosebleed and passed out from getting hit while tossing Fishbones around

[sandraharissa]

I love it when little kids look at what is clearly a demon and go 'I want that one'

[nonbinarylesbianherb]

Jinx accidentally adopting a kid under her wing..

I love them

[sunflowerwinds]

i am absolutely terrified to see the context of this scene. isha reaching out for what i’m assuming is jinx and sevika taking her away?? are they leaving her behind?? or did jinx ask sevika to take isha away because she didn’t want her another person close to her to die?? yeah i’m going to be non-stop sobbing.

with everything that has happened in arcane today I want to take a second to appreciate all the new relationships and connections the show has established. It’s so great to see different characters interact that haven’t before, like Mel giving Caitlyn her condolences and talking to Jayce about her, Ambessa and Caitlyn interacting which has so much potential and the Heimerdinger-Ekko-Jayce-trio is great as well! Especially after the last season we were so used to characters only staying in their little bubble (Silco, Jinx, Sevika or Cait, Vi or Jayce,Viktor, Mel for example) but now that they are branching out we get to see so many cool and interesting interactions and I for one am loving it.
