What I don't get is why news outlets and Netflix are trying to convince us that arcane was expensive to make. 250 million usd for both seasons they said, and obviously that's a lot of money, but they make the mistake of comparing it to big budget movies like Tangled. So you're telling me that I got an animated masterpiece that combines multiple different art styles fantastic voice acting and creative and passionate writing, that's 6-7 hours LONGER than major animated movies, and its the same fucking price?? And you're expecting me to agree with the corporations outlook, that it's too expensive? Yes, tangled is considered one of the most expensive animated movies, but arcane is like FOUR Tangleds. Many other 3D animated movies fall within the 160 million mark, but again, they're hours shorter than arcane was. I think the prices are comparable. I believe in saw someone (on reddit maybe?) divide the cost down to minutes of screen time for each show or movie and it becomes really obvious. I'm also pretty sure that many of these movie budgets do not include marketing in their overall expenses; arcane does.

This isnt even bringing live action tv shows into the equation; i dont think arcane even touches like the top thirty of those. And yet it's framed as such an expense!! Bitch its an incredibly successful tv show!! Ik Netflix is cheap as shit and has its own reputation to grapple with, but is the disdain for animation so much? Is it disdain for female lead action, for poc representation, for LGBT rep on screen? For the animation medium as a whole? I know the answer of course. But it's still very upsetting to acknowledge and think about.

Separately, arcane is absolutely crushing it. Ik act three is going to knock it out of the ballpark. Keep crushing corporate execs expectations please.

a deadly combo of insomnia, jet lag, and being sick allowed me to hallucinate the very last scene of my potential quinncent series (yes SERIES) of novels (novels!!) and I'm pretty pleased with what I've come up with 😁!!! let's just see how long it takes to get there 💃

Jayce's brilliance is not dependent on anyone. If he was left on his own, without any incidents, he would have eventually figured out how to stabilize the hex crystal on his own. He's a genius; there was a reason he was being sponsored by the Kirammans. He was close to a breakthrough in his research at the time of the explosion. He would have figured it out. The explosion, meeting Viktor, and meeting Mel only served to speed up the process. But he didn't need any outside catalyst because he would have eventually figured everything out.

Okay, after seeing so many cool gifs and art from Dead Boy Detectives from my tumblr mutuals, I gave the show a chance.

I watched it and oh my god it's awesome and I love it so much.

Then I go on tumblr to look into fandom and find out that Netflix canceled it... WHY?!

If I understand correctly, it wasn't unsuccessful, maybe less than expected, but still a lot of people watched it. The ratings from critics and audiences are very good. And they had already ordered season 2 and it is completely written.

I know everyone has different tastes, but seriously, they make weird reality shows with questionable content or that weird Gwyneth Paltrow show that spouts pseudo-scientific nonsense that is actually dangerous and just advertising for her company.

And didn't Netflix recently announce how much money they've made from new subscriptions since they stopped the sharing?

Seriously, I hate this new throwaway culture of streaming services so much...

I’m convinced nobody is asking the right hypothetical questions about the Truman Show. “Oh what do they do if he JERKS OFF?” In the movie they say the cut away with sex scenes. Yes it would be more awkward but they definitely would do the same thing here. “Why didn’t he start KILLING PEOPLE?” He doesn’t know he’s actually on TV until the very end. Until then, he just knows everyone around him is Up To Something. Also they gave him childhood trauma at a young age to make him risk averse on purpose. Also also. He does threaten to kill his wife a little.

The real question is how the fuck did they get anyone to watch the show for the first 1-3 years. He gets born on tv and that’s exciting I guess if you know what the whole premise is. But after that how are they gonna get networks to fund the Show About Some Baby. It’s literally just 24 hours of a baby + a shit ton of product placement. Round the clock gerber ad.

People will never understand the grief and suffering that Caitlyn went through, they will never understand the complex characters who always did good things but unfortunately the world didn't do them justice. The characters who go through stages of despair, grief and anger, these are the characters the writers wanted to give you so that you understand the complexities of humans through fictional characters. They want to send you a deeper message than just this evil character who wants revenge. It's more complicated than that.

So let's get into the topic and why I made this post:

First Caitlyn never wanted to kill the child to get to Jinx. You never saw a character who was controlled by anger. Caitlyn saw nothing in front of her except Jixn, the person who completely destroyed her life. She became obsessed with Jinx in the same way that Jinx was obsessed with Caitlyn. Let's take another example of an angry and vengeful character, which is the character Ellie in tlou2. We saw her literally kill everyone in front of her to get to Abby. She even went as far as to kill Lev if Abby didn't fight her. Anger and sadness are emotions that are difficult to control. These emotions are what control the person.

And The Big Problem is no one hated Ellie back then, huh?? So why Caitlyn now 😑

But the sad thing for Caitlyn is that unfortunately the demon Ambessa is in the picture and she will definitely play an important role in changing Caitlyn's personality. Of course, as is known, Ambessa will benefit from Hex weapons and other things for her personal goals.

Another thing that caused Caitlyn to lose her mind was when Vi accidentally compared Cait to the person who killed her mother and had been trying to kill her multiple times. And Jinx had killed many people in Piltover more than once. All of these things came together on Caitlyn until she completely lost control of herself.

Bc in the end it is her city and she has the right to defend it and defend her people.

So honestly I don't blame Caitlyn, I'm not saying what she did was right, but AGAIN Vi unintentionally compared her to the person who killed her mother and caused her a lot of suffering, as Jinx kidnapped her, tortured her, and tried to kill her several times.

(Imagine someone comparing you to the person who killed your mother and ruined your life)

And in the end Caitlyn will realize her mistake and try to fix it and she will know that Ambessa was manipulating her all the time, and she will know that she is the cause of most of the problems in Piltover.

I'm sure Caitlyn's redemption arc will right all the wrongs she's done and will make up for everything to the Zaun people and Vi.

And mark my words, bc Caitlyn is the only character who knows the problems that exist in Zaun and surely after she gets rid of her anger that is eating her from the inside, she will do the right thing bc that is the core of the Caitlyn that we knew in season 1.

So please trust the writers and don't rush to judge characters until we see how they end first.

If you're not on Twitter I would recommend making an account just to help keep Dead Boy Detectives trending.

We have been trending for DAYS over there, and we want to keep it up as its a mainstream website with a lot of reach (not so much of an echo-chamber like Tumblr is). The most common tags over there are #SaveDeadBoyDetectives and #DeadBoyDetectives, occassionally #RenewDeadBoyDetectives as well (but I use the first two the most, personally). You can participate in the #ReviveDeadBoyDetectives rewatches, too.

You can also use it to share fanart, fics, yap about the show, and boost your Dead Boys tumblr posts, along with other people's posts. You can even comment on Netflix's posts (KINDLY) to promote our show and talk about how much you love it.

We need to stay relevant/trending on as many places for as long as possible to gain attention and viewership for our show. Remember, trending = attention, attention for our show = new views. Netflix cares about views more than anything!

Let's save our ghost boys! 💀🔎💜 All this work will be worth it, I promise. Companies like Netflix are waiting for us to give up or tire ourselves out... let's not give them that satisfaction!

Something about... THIS scene

And... ngngnfnds it's something about Lucy not being herself // Lockwood being TOO much of himself...

The words are coming from Lucy's mouth, but they aren't hers; those are Lucy's hands, but she isn't the one using them... an otherworldly force chose Lockwood to be her scene partner here, and once again it's about external voices seeing Lucy's feelings for him before she knows it herself...

And then there's something about how it's in direct contrast to Lockwood, who is PARTICULARLY aware of himself in that moment... this is one of the few times we get a full scene of Lockwood stripped down to a tshirt+hoodie instead of his usual suit+tie number (my brain is buzzing over this, since I presume the suit is sort of a costume for him, with the purpose of masking his inner self/vulnerability)... AND ALSO because this is arguably the first physical romantic scene they share, and while he is clearly concerned and confused about her behavior, the fact that he is having to reckon with Feeling Something Else Too is written all over his face...

I know this take isn't super book-accurate, but it feels almost allegorical to this idea that Lockwood is the one who is being caught off guard and having to realize his feelings early on... versus Lucy, who is there, and she's participating in the dance, but she's also being stopped from experiencing her feelings to the fullest by something within her...

Anyway, I'm sorry this is an absolute rambling MESS because my brain doesn't quite have its thoughts together, but I needed to post this right now immediately, hope you all understand 👋
