Idk I feel like making Maddie Nolen a traitor loyal to Ambessa does an extreme disservice not just to Maddie's character but also to the potential political message of Arcane. Had Maddie really, truly been earnest and kind and compassionate the whole time, and had she died in the battle, it would have done so much more for her, for Caitlyn, for the show. Here is a gentle character whose life and innocence would've been stripped from her because of war, because of imperialism. Here is a ray of sunshine who followed Caitlyn loyally through thick and thin, who shows Cait price of working with other oppressors.

But also: here is the bubbly character with a smile, the first to eagerly join in to a descent to fascism and martial law. Here is the "good cop", the gentle enforcer, who faithfully joins in a quest that involves gassing innocents of a city. Here is a kind soul, but also a soul who after expressing some doubts about the methods used, continues to work directly with and as the oppressors of innocents. Even the best of the enforcers is a part of the unjust oppression of Zaun.

Instead, she's written off as a spy, a mole, bad all along. Any nuance that her character could have brought is stripped away and she's killed and discarded without a second glance. The enforcers as a whole I feel could've been approached with more nuance, and she would've been a part of it. Instead, she's one-dimensional, a complete turncoat.

Welcome Home

Cillian Murphy x wife! Reader

Plot: Cillian was scheduled to come home after filming. When he walked through the door (Y/N) was quite shocked at what she saw…

Word Count: 918

Warning: suggested sexual themes (No spoilers) This is a work of fiction

I saw Oppenheimer the other night and, omg I hope everyone who took part in making it is proud of this film.

Masterlist

It was the final weeks of filming Christopher Nolen's newest movie, Oppenheimer. It had been months since (Y/N) and Cillian had seen each other face to face, and she was ready to see him in the flesh. They saw eachother for a little bit between the ending filming of Peaky Blinders and before he left for Oppenheimer. She had flown out to set early into the filming of the movie. Then life got in the way and the only way that they could see and hear each other was through Facetime and phone calls. 

She had been baking all day, and as it turned into the afternoon, she knew she needed to start on dinner. (Y/N) started prepping for one of Cillian’s favourite dishes, when she heard the door unlock and open. A shuffle of suitcases and shoes is heard from the entranceway of the home.

“(Y/N)? Are you home?” Cillian’s voice rings through their shared home. 

She quickly finished up what she was cutting, and whipped her hands on her pants before running out of the kitchen to meet him. 

“Cill, oh how I’ve missed you,” she says before jumping into his arms, squeezing him as she hugged him. 

“Oh I’ve missed you too love,” he replies, squeezing her just as hard. They latched onto eachother and didn’t want to let go. When they finally let go of each other, she saw how much weight he had lost. She knew he was gonna lose some weight for the role, but she didn’t think he was gonna change that much. 

“What is it?” he asks, a little worried at (Y/N)’s silence. 

“I didn’t think you would lose so much weight,” she states. He was always fit and skinny but for his role as J. Robert Oppenheimer, he needed to lose some of the Tommy shape that he had come accustomed to over the years.

“Don’t worry love, Tommy is still here,” he says jokingly in his signature Birmingham accent. She rolls her eyes before dragging him to the bedroom. When they entered the room Cillian brought her into a deep kiss. (Y/N) tugged on his shirt, wanting it off. He gently pushes her onto the bed, giving him a chance to take it off. 

“You take a shower and a nap. I’ll come wake you when dinner is ready,” she says while placing one last kiss on his lips. He didn’t let go quite yet. 

“I love you,” he says as he studied his wife and placed a few kisses along her jaw and neck before letting her go. 

“I love you too,” she replies before leaving the bedroom. 

A few hours later, (Y/N) had finished cooking and plated everything for the two of them. She cleaned up a little, before walking back up to the bedroom to see hopefully her sleeping husband. She slowly opened the door, revealing a sleeping Cillian. His hair was still wet, revealing that he did have a shower. 

She walked over to his side of the bed, sitting beside him. He slightly moved, but that was because of the sinking of the bed. She leaned over and placed a kiss on his cheek.

Nothing.

Wow, he must be in a deep sleep she thought before placing a few more kisses across his face. He moved a little, but his eyes didn’t open. (Y/N) then got an idea that would truly get him up. She got up and maneuvered herself to lie on top of her husband. He let out a groan at the new weight that was added onto him. She knew he was awake now. 

“Come on babe, it is time to get up,” she whispers in his ear. He moved his head to face her, which made her laugh.

Somehow he wrapped his arms around her and wrestled her underneath him. Cillian hovers over her, sleep still clear over his features. 

“Dinner is ready,” she says with a smile. He just shakes his head before lowering himself onto her, repaying the favour that she just did. She groaned when the full weight of him was felt. 

“Cillian, come on. Dinner is getting cold,” she states, trying to not let him fall asleep again. 

“We have a microwave for a reason love,” he rebuttals, getting comfortable on her stomach. She sighed knowing he had won this round. (Y/N) adjusted herself before playing with his damp curly hair. When he was away, she missed these small moments that they shared. Leaving the hustle and bustle of everyday life and the crazy filming schedule Cillian would have to navigate. But in these moments everything goes away. It was their escape from reality for a little while. 

“I love you so much Cillian,” she says before placing a kiss on the crown of his head. He looked up at her and returned the kiss on her sternum. 

“I love you so much more, (Y/N),” he replies. He placed another kiss on her stomach before closing his eyes again. 

“Welcome home,” she replies quietly before going back to playing with his hair, soothing him back to sleep. Leaving their dinner to cool, and to be reheated later.

Arcane characters with a butch partner? (Probably just the fem characters tho cuz Butch is a lesbian term.) I feel like there’s never enough of that :[[[[[

You’re so right, there’s never enough butch/femme representation, especially for the amazing women of Arcane:

———————————————————————-

• Jinx: She’d absolutely thrive with a butch partner who can match her chaotic energy but also ground her when things spiral. Picture her stealing their jacket, graffiti-ing on it, and then insisting it looks better now. Her partner would be the calm to her storm, always keeping an eye out for her without smothering her.

• Vi: Okay, Vi is a butch icon herself, but hear me out—her with another butch partner? Peak power couple. They’d have this playful rivalry, constantly trying to one-up each other in fights or banter, but at the end of the day, they’re both fiercely protective of each other. Just imagine them sharing an old leather jacket and bickering over who wore it better.

• Caitlyn: Caitlyn with a butch partner? The ultimate dynamic. She’d be all prim and proper on the outside, but you know she’d melt for the way her partner takes charge when things get intense. Her butch partner would totally be the “let me handle this” type in dangerous situations, and Caitlyn would tease them about it later, even though she secretly loves it.

• Mel Medarda: Mel with a butch partner is everything. She’d adore their strength and quiet confidence, but you know she’d also enjoy making them blush with just a look. Her partner would be fiercely loyal, standing by her side as her protector and biggest admirer, while Mel takes pride in being the only one who can make them truly vulnerable.

• Ambessa Medarda: Ambessa with a butch partner would be intense in the best way. She’s so used to commanding respect, but her partner wouldn’t back down, which would intrigue her endlessly. They’d have this power dynamic that’s equal parts fiery and affectionate—her partner would probably have to remind her to take care of herself sometimes, which Ambessa would pretend to scoff at but secretly appreciate.

• Sevika: Sevika and a butch partner would be such a vibe. Her partner would be just as tough and no-nonsense as she is, but with a softer side that only Sevika gets to see. They’d have this unspoken understanding, where they’re both incredibly protective of each other but would rather die than admit it out loud.

• Maddie Nolen: Maddie with a butch partner would be so sweet and understated. Her partner would be quietly supportive, always by her side without needing to steal the spotlight. Maddie would appreciate their steadiness, and they’d have this subtle but deeply affectionate bond—lots of hand squeezes and lingering glances that speak volumes.

Lest: Lest is so reserved and emotionally distant at first, but you? You’re the one who patiently chips away at that icy exterior. She’s drawn to your confidence—there’s something magnetic about the way you carry yourself, like you’re completely sure of who you are. It’s a quiet strength that she deeply admires but would never admit outright (not at first, anyway). She’d try to maintain her usual composed demeanor, but there’s no hiding the way her eyes linger when you’re around. You notice how her sharp words soften when she’s speaking to you specifically, and while others might find her intimidating, you’re completely unshaken—something she finds both infuriating and fascinating.

[jinxcrownguard]

Lowkey sad how people don't see toxic yuri potential on the scale of Killing Eve in the dynamic Caitlyn and Jinx have. And how people call Caitjinx shippers weirdoes or freaks, like sorry you can't see potential in the few interactions they have and develop that further in your own imagination.

It's a combination of things that keep people from living deliciously; Piltover's Finest is an OG ship, although Jinx has always been a semi third for them, and people have been waiting for Vi and Cait to kiss for ten plus years now. The confirmation of the two as lesbians means a lot and any woman getting in between them is automatically seen as evil. I.E. Maddie Nolen, she's got a sort of mixed place in fandom atm but from whispers, I can see her becoming hated for being Cait's potential rebound.

Another reason is most likely due to their slight age gap. Jinx is around 17-19 in the show and Cait is somewhere in her early 20s, people see that as a reasonable enough justification to crucify people who like them as a ship. Not my circus, not my monkeys, but it's a weird pull imo. I'm sure there are more but those are the two I hear a lot.

Allow me to get freaky for a minute baby

CaitJinx is like baked into Arcane unintentionally as well, Jinx hates Caitlyn so much in season 1 not just because she's an Enforcer, but she is a rival to Vi's affections and attention. Jinx feels that Caitlyn is taking the spot she held in Vi's life and is why she feels so threat by her. She sees Cait and Vi hug once and decides everyone needs to die. She is devastatingly jealous of Caitlyn and pleads with Vi to send her away so that she and Jinx can be together.

Adjusting Cait and Jinx from enemies, to rivals in love, makes their interactions so delicious and lovely like girlie was so ready to murder suicide herself and Vi the moment some Piltie Princess with great tits and long legs comes strutting into Zaun. Like please see the psychosexual obsession they form with each other. Caitlyn wanting to kill Jinx in season 2 and Jinx being pretty much done witb her, because she no longer sees her as her rival in love anymore because she's accepted[sort of] the fact that Vi won't love her like she used to. But Cait is daydreaming about her, hallucinating her, hearing her laugh, seeing her face, she's salivating at the chance to get on top of her and rip her to pieces

They're violent and ill and violently ill and they love Vi but think she's being incredibly stupid right now and I truly think they should scissor it out on the remix

[catravandece]

i am not gonna be an arcane spoiler free blog jsyk.

ACT ONE THOUGHTS!!!!!!

loving this ekko and jayce alliance i'm happy everyone is getting to know each other now :) doin science

and as usual all the songs slap. i will absolutely be listening to this soundtrack while i drive 2hrs away to a job interview in 3 hours lmao

[voidpacifist]

maddie nolen is such a fascinating character to me

okay, before ANY of you get on my ass about all your personal icks and grievances with her, please remember that there's not a SINGLE fully unflawed character in this show. anyone who excludes her from that statement just looks goofy!

but really let's talk about her because it's kind of hard to get a read on her. is she supposed to be a heroine? a villain? an antihero? like we really don't have much of an impression of her other than that she's young, fairly new to the enforcement of piltover, and clearly motivated to do her job both to the fullest and to the approval of her betters. but she isn't necessarily desperate about it.

now, I see a lot of people stating that she's one of those "but YOU'RE one of the good ones" types of people. and this is true! her behavior in zaun also goes to show that she's truly just there to do her job without kicking up a fuss with someone if she doesn't have to. she's not an antagonizer or someone who actively condescends other people — I truly in my heart of hearts believe she wants to do what's right, and while misguided as it is, she believes being an enforcer is the best way to do that. yes, she's got a tarnished, generalized view of zaun. and yes, she still isn't going out of her way to be "bad cop" as a result of her views. both of those can exist at once.

"but liv! that was only one scene! how do you know she's not a total piece of garbage?" I'm so glad you asked, and also, we still have one more act (as of the day I'm blabbing all this) to go.

it's actually her intimate scene with caitlyn at the start of act two that had me intrigued about her. and I know, it's an annoyance that seemingly right after vi and caits unofficial breaking up, maddie swoops right in and is now all lovey dovey with cait (although from a professional perspective, coworker dating is an awful idea, but get it I guess). but it's what she says to cait that gets me:

"you could call it off. withdraw from the underground. reestablish the council. all you have to do is give the order."

and when cait starts to push back about jinx and the risk of violence, maddie even jokingly calls her ambessa. it just further backs my statement about her character. by appealing to caits general dislike of using strong force (and appealing to her strong will), she's actively encouraging her to not be so bendable to her war-hungry mentor.

because yes, ambessa is someone who is not above using violence to achieve what she feels is necessary. and she has actively preyed on caits grief as a way to get her to be sympathetic towards a noxian solution. does that mean she doesn't believe she's also doing the right thing? no! just goes to show that messy character grey area.

"we want more nuanced female characters!" "y'all can't even handle caitlyn kiramman." WORSE! y'all can't handle maddie nolen <3

[glassprism]

I'm reading the book for the first time and Leroux's description of Erik's voice is quite something. Which actors do you think come closest to match that description?

Honestly? I don't really think of actors in the musical (or elsewhere) as comparing to Leroux's Erik. They're kind of separate in my mind, especially vocally.

The reason for this is because in the novel, Erik is described as having this incredible range: according to this post, capable of going as low as a baritone or even bass-baritone but then high enough that Christine apparently uses feminine pronouns around him before realizing who he truly is (a number of people who know more about voices than I ever will have said that Erik may be a baritone who also developed a countertenor voice). (Also, tangential note, I'm rather a fan of this theory that Erik also has an unplaceable accent due to his backstory of traveling all over Eurasia, essentially.) To me, that means a singer who has an inhuman range and a voice of unearthly beauty, a once-in-a-lifetime type of voice.

And the thing about the musical is that, you know, they're casting fairly ordinary guys who have a fairly ordinary range and who sometimes don't sound all that beautiful either, though the last is subjective (and not going to name names here). And since the musical is written for these typical (though still quite talented!) guys, it's not going to have them bouncing around vocal ranges, otherwise you'll really shrink your pool of potential actors.

So ultimately, while I have a pool of actors of singers that I think have a beautiful sound or something similar to what was described (e.g. Michael Crawford - unearthly tenor capable of sounding resonant when needed, Timothy Nolen - bass-baritone, Alexander Goebel - haunting voice, Alexander Lewis - started off as a tenor and ended a baritone, Norm Lewis - baritone with a high range), I don't actually think they match Leroux's description, because I don' think anyone will ever match it. Leroux's Erik's voice, in my mind, is this voice that is near-inhuman, and no actual person will likely have that.

How Gobindo Bhog Rice Elevates Traditional Bengali Dishes

Gobindo Bhog rice, a short-grain aromatic rice native to West Bengal, holds a cherished place in Bengali kitchens. This fragrant rice, cultivated in the fertile lands of Bengal, has become a favorite for its unique flavor, soft texture, and distinctive aroma that elevate classic dishes like khichuri, payesh, and pulao. Despite competition from modern varieties, Gobindo Bhog rice remains a staple, especially during festivals and special occasions, as no other rice quite captures the essence of Bengali cuisine.

The Rich Flavor Profile of Gobindo Bhog Rice

Gobindo Bhog rice is smaller and rounder than typical long-grain rice varieties, offering a slightly sticky yet fluffy texture that complements Bengali dishes. Its natural aroma, with hints of butter and earth, is the secret behind its popularity. When cooked, this rice perfectly absorbs spices and flavors, enhancing traditional dishes without overpowering them. It’s no wonder this rice is chosen for iconic dishes such as Bengali khichuri — a comforting blend of Gobindo Bhog rice, moong dal, and vegetables seasoned with spices. The rich flavor of the rice is essential to making the dish fulfilling and memorable.

Key Dishes Elevated by Gobindo Bhog Rice

Bengali Khichuri: Often prepared during monsoon or festivals, khichuri made with Gobindo Bhog rice has a comforting richness that regular rice varieties can’t match. Its aroma mixes beautifully with spices like cumin and cloves, creating a warm, hearty dish.

Nolen Gurer Payesh: This traditional rice pudding made with date-palm jaggery becomes even more indulgent with Gobindo Bhog rice. Its small grains, softening as they cook in milk, create a creamy texture that perfectly blends with the sweetness of jaggery.

Bhoger Khichuri (Festival Khichuri): This offering to deities during festivals includes Gobindo Bhog rice mixed with seasonal vegetables and ghee, creating a rich, divine aroma that fills homes with joy and reverence.

Choosing Quality Gobindo Bhog Rice

Selecting authentic Gobindo Bhog rice ensures you get the quality that brings out the best flavors in your cooking. Various Gobindobhog rice companies now offer certified authentic varieties for quality assurance. However, prices can vary based on packaging size and origin; for instance, the Gobindobhog rice price (26kg) may differ significantly between brands and sellers, with the price usually justifying its premium quality.

Final Thoughts

Cooking with Gobindo Bhog rice is a way to connect with the culinary heritage of Bengal. Its unmatched aroma and texture make it the perfect choice for traditional recipes, giving every meal an authentic Bengali touch. Whether it’s a festive khichuri or a simple serving of rice with ghee, Gobindo Bhog rice truly elevates every dish, keeping the flavors of Bengal alive in every bite. For those who love the essence of Bengali cuisine, this aromatic rice remains indispensable.

Bengali Sandesh: A Sweet Story of Tradition and Taste

Bengali Sandesh (or "Sondesh") is not just a dessert—it’s a piece of history, a culinary tradition, and a symbol of Bengali culture. Made from simple ingredients, this delicacy captures the hearts of food lovers with its rich, melt-in-the-mouth texture and delicate sweetness. Today, let’s explore what makes Sandesh so special, how it’s prepared, and the unique flavors that keep people coming back for more.

A Little History of Sandesh

The origin of Sandesh can be traced back to 18th-century Bengal, where it began as a simple sweet made from sugar and chhena (fresh cottage cheese). This was a time when sugar was newly introduced in the region, and Bengali sweetmakers eagerly experimented with it. Over the years, the art of making Sandesh evolved, with many variations emerging to cater to diverse tastes and festive occasions.

In the early days, the dessert had a relatively simple form, but as Bengali confectioners became more skilled, they began crafting elaborate designs, flavors, and presentations. Sandesh soon became a symbol of celebration, often enjoyed during festivals, weddings, and religious ceremonies. Even today, it remains an integral part of Bengali culture, a treat you’ll find at sweet shops, family gatherings, and celebrations across Bengal.

The Art of Making Sandesh

Making Sandesh is truly an art, as it requires precision, patience, and the finest quality ingredients. The base of Sandesh is chhena, the fresh cheese made by curdling milk with a bit of lime juice or vinegar. Unlike paneer, chhena is softer, which gives Sandesh its smooth, creamy texture.

Here’s a brief outline of how Sandesh is traditionally prepared:

Preparing the Chhena: Full-fat milk is boiled and curdled with lemon juice or vinegar. Once the whey is drained, what remains is soft, crumbly chhena, perfect for Sandesh.

Mixing with Sugar: The chhena is kneaded to a smooth consistency, then combined with sugar or jaggery for sweetness. This mixture is gently cooked on low heat, being stirred continuously to achieve the right texture—soft, smooth, and slightly grainy.

Shaping and Garnishing: After cooking, the Sandesh mixture is molded into different shapes—rounds, squares, or creative floral designs. Traditional molds may also be used, giving Sandesh beautiful embossed patterns. Many variations are garnished with slivers of pistachio, almond, saffron, or a touch of cardamom powder.

Types and Flavors of Sandesh

Sandesh comes in an array of flavors, and Bengali sweetmakers have a knack for experimenting with both traditional and contemporary twists. Some popular varieties include:

Plain Sandesh: This is the simplest form, with pure chhena and sugar as the main ingredients.

Kacha Golla Sandesh: Soft and crumbly, this type is made without cooking the chhena extensively, keeping it light and fresh.

Gur (Jaggery) Sandesh: A winter specialty, this Sandesh uses date palm jaggery, or "nolen gur," which gives it a unique caramel-like flavor and beautiful golden color.

Chocolate Sandesh: A modern twist on the classic, this version incorporates cocoa powder or melted chocolate for a fusion treat.

Bhapa Sandesh: This steamed version is slightly firmer and often flavored with cardamom or saffron, resulting in a delightful, melt-in-your-mouth experience.

Fruit-flavored Sandesh: Some variations feature fruit purees like mango or pineapple, giving the Sandesh a light, fruity taste.

Nutritional Benefits of Sandesh

Though Sandesh is a dessert, it offers some nutritional benefits too. Chhena, being a good source of protein, calcium, and essential amino acids, makes Sandesh a somewhat healthier dessert option compared to others. The dessert is generally lower in fat and sugar, particularly when traditional sweeteners like jaggery are used. The addition of nuts like pistachios and almonds further enhances its nutritional profile, providing healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals.

Sandesh in Festivals and Celebrations

In Bengal, Sandesh is a must-have during festivals like Durga Puja, Diwali, and weddings. It’s also common to see Sandesh gifted as a token of love, respect, and celebration. Many families in Bengal have their own treasured Sandesh recipes passed down through generations, adding a touch of nostalgia and heritage to each bite.

How to Enjoy Sandesh

If you’re new to Sandesh, try starting with a plain or jaggery variety to get a taste of its authentic flavors. Pair it with a cup of tea or coffee for a classic experience, or try it with a glass of lassi or sweetened yogurt for a refreshing combination.

For those with a culinary interest, making Sandesh at home can be a rewarding experience, as it allows you to experiment with flavors, fillings, and garnishes. Whether you choose a simple plain version or a more complex flavored one, you’ll experience the joy of crafting a Bengali sweet that’s been cherished for centuries.

The Lasting Charm of Sandesh

With its rich history, versatile flavors, and delicate sweetness, Sandesh is more than just a dessert; it’s a cultural icon that continues to hold a special place in Bengali hearts. Each bite offers a blend of tradition, art, and the distinct taste of Bengal’s culinary heritage.

So, the next time you come across this delightful sweet, remember that Sandesh is not just a treat but a testament to the rich history and love of sweets that Bengali culture celebrates.

Does it Matter? - Chapter 37 - Part 1

*Warning: Adult Content*   

Bug had the same dream he always had that night but when he awoke with Dara's arm wrapped around him he didn't make the same mistake he had with Brayan.

Fortunately both the setting they were in and the person he was with felt different enough from the events of the dreams that there was no confusion.

He didn't think Dara would have been cross with him if there had been but as he understood it doing such things with a healer here was considered a serious offence.

Though, perhaps not if you were a prince, if the way Dara and Maric interacted was any indication.

Which, of course, was the other reason that touching Dara inappropriately would have been extremely dangerous.

Bug still didn't know what to make of any of this.

Why were these people helping him?

Was it because of his visions?

Was it because they thought he could be useful as a seer?

He hoped it wasn't that one because Lord Nolen had thought so too and he had grown increasingly resentful towards Bug over how wrong he had been.

The prince still terrified him, though in truth he hadn't been unkind.

Dara kept assuring Bug that he didn't need to fear him and the prince himself seemed to be deliberately giving Bug space but still.

He held so much power over not just Bug but everything but perhaps, when it came to someone in a situation like Bug's, greater levels of power didn't present any greater threat past a certain point.

If Dara or Brayan wished him harm, they probably possessed enough power to inflict it upon him.

If anything, the prince was the only person with the ultimate power to keep him safe.

He couldn't imagine Dara or Brayan harming him, though.

Dara was a healer, a fellow Eth and he had been the one who had stood up to Lord Nolen and saved Bug and Brayan... Brayan had been adamant that he wasn't a particularly good person but that was all Bug could see in him.

He was so patient, something Lord Nolen was definitely not.

He made Bug not mind how frail he felt quite so much because it meant Brayan was there to help him and make sure he was okay.

Would he retain any interest in Bug once he was well enough to take care of himself again?

Bug's body ached as he pulled himself up.

It looked like everyone else was already awake.

He wasn't sure how many of them had slept at all.

They had seemed very concerned about having to sleep near the road and Bug was a little relieved that they hadn't taken too much assurance from his ability to see the future.

Bad things would happen if they didn't understand how truly useless he was.

Brayan had soup ready for Bug and Dara but this time he handed Bug his bowl.

"You look steady enough. You'll have an easier time eating if you feed yourself."

Bug didn't want to feed himself.

He wanted Brayan to settle him back against the firm muscle of his chest and gently and patiently help him eat but he was a slave and what he wanted mattered for very little.

"Thank you, Sir," Bug murmured.

"Hmm," Dara said around a mouthful of soup, lifting the spoon to indicate his gratitude.

After Brayan had left, he leant in close and whispered in Eulan.

"You like him?"

Bug felt his face go red.

Was it so obvious?

"He's kind."

"He told me what happened between you two. What didn't happen."

Bug set the bowl of soup down so that he could press his hands over his increasingly red face and groaned.

"That's embarrassing."

"Why did you do it?"

"I wanted to. I thought he might want to but it would have been illegal and I didn't think of that and he thought I was trying to get him into trouble."

"Ah," Dara said.

"What should I do?"

"You should recover," Dara said, dropping out of Eulan.

"Anything else can wait until you're well enough to deal with it."

It would be funny if the post credit of Arcane reveals there’s no records of a Maddie Nolen and it’s revealed she’s Miss Fortune. Which means she’s gonna for Vi next (jokes aside, I would’ve loved it if Miss Fortune was Vi’s temporary gf cause Vi is trying to find out what she is without Caitlyn or Jinx before she inevitably goes back to Caitlyn).

Gosh we could have had so much good Vi exploration in this season if it wasn't like it was. Vi was locked up for seven years, and then falls in love with the first woman who's not beating on her. I know some of the writers had the headcanon that Vi had a prison wife, but it's just a headcanon u_u

If we got to see Vi take the time to actually explore her sexuality by just bagging all the women who come up to her after pitfights. It could have been Vi's single self destructive era. Which is like so real. Caitlyn is a womanizer already <3 I truly do not think she was thinking about Vi when she was Maddie, simply because it doesn't seem like something Caitlyn would do with someone who she's in a semi solid relationship with. If she was just fooling around, maybe, but not while in a relationship [even if Maddie is just her rebound]

Vi, on the otherhand, would be chasing the ghost of Caitlyn in all the women she sleeps with. Stone Top Vi era, she'll get her girl off but doesn't want to be touched. She's such a mess, I love her I wish the writers did too 😭

IM SO FEELING RN ACT 2 THOUGHTS

MADDIE NOLEN??????? FUCKIGNN MADDIE????????? shes gotta be a deep cover agent or smth or else that reunion of the strike team is gonna be reeeeeeeeeaalllll awkward :I

i told u guys tho i have total faith in the team, caitvi endgame baby. they totally remember the love they still have and its gonna pull through i can feel it

i knew isha and vanderwick were both doomed but seeing it happen D: im so upset

jayce talis you better have a good gd explanation for all this >:( i think the explanation is blood magic tbh. if getting trapped in a psychedelic wild rune for a year is what gave him the divorce era look im so interested to see what it did to ekko and heimerdinger

violet violet violet violet violet violet violet violet violet

glad to see viktor is still spooky. i love to see all the champions interacting with w/ each other

can mel be the next champion pls??? shes probably gonna break out herself if the intro symbolism is anything to go by and shes obviously some kind of mage given the gold magic shit

i always knew that vi and jinx could never truly sever their connection to each other. im thinking that jinx is gonna unite with caitvi for the final battle against noxus and cait will pardon her in the final act of her grief- forgiveness to break the cycle (which she was so keen on in season 1)

final thought rn- sad lack of sevika past ep4 where is big mama!!!! where is my wife!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
