Only Jinx would look so cute while watching an alley fight.

[lady-griffin]

In episode 2, “Watch It All Burn,” there are several stylized effects throughout -

The smoke of Jinx’s gun spelling out ‘poow’

The speakers of Sevika’s new arm having soundwaves and music notes coming out of them, when Get Jinxed plays.

The halo of stars circling around Smeech’s head after he’d been hit

At first, I thought these were just fun and cool aesthetic choices, but now I’m wondering if they're in fact also Jinx’s hallucinations.

Now on the one hand, they’re not indicated to us as being the same as Jinx’s previous hallucinations.

For example, we have the same flashing and scratching effects of Jinx’s psychosis from the previous season happening over Vi’s face/enforcer mask when Jinx sees her in the enforcer uniform for the first time.

But that could just be because Vi being in an enforcer uniform is very triggering for Jinx.

I just feel like we can’t ignore how the stylized effects in this episode are 100% in Jinx’s drawing style.

So, I think Jinx is still having hallucinations, but rather than disrupting reality for her or being triggered by her trauma, these new ones are sort of enhancing reality for her, rather than taking over and or contradicting it.

And if I’m right, I love that so goddamn much.

Oh Jinx was actually crying after leaving the arcade when the chembarons ambushed her I just thought it was because of the gas or getting the wind knocked out of her but she started crying back when she saw Vi take Claggor's goggles and just held it in until she wouldn't get caught 😭

What if when an omega goes into shock/a drop their heart rate plummets to super concerning levels and their scent starts to fade like they're dying bc their base self is preparing for the end due to whatever situation caused it to happen. Insert this into that scene in Burn where they're in the car back to the estate after the rescue and Steve just DROPS (completely valid response to the events). Like mid conversation, Eddie is sobbing, they're about to have that "of this was all for nothing" moment, when Steve just stops talking, stares ahead at nothing, and drops like a rock. Cue Eddie freaking out bc his pulse is so weak and omg his scent is fading wtf, Murray drive faster, bc he really thinks he's dying. This in that scene or right after Eddie saves them in the bunker and picks him up and notices the baby bump would be so deliciously angsty. It was just Steve's brain deciding it had had enough, thank you, and shut down to protect itself, but it spurs Eddie into completely spiraling more than he already had bc he's fully convinced he's about to lose the love of his life and his pup in one go when he just got one back and learned about the other. What do you think?

Once again I’m gonna say that I can’t believe you guys read Burn and thought, “I bet I can make this hurt even worse:” 😂😭 like damnnn. Makes me feel like I went easy on you all when this exists in my thoughts now! Angst gremlins, all of you!💕

Arcane S2 E2 Question:

During my 2nd watch, I was wondering how Smeech, Heenot, and that other goon were still alive because all their scenes happened after they visited that Margot lady's face house with all the gas leaks, but wasn't there a monster in there? They don't really address it again except for Smeech looking kind of shaken for a second in the meeting afterwards. Was it just his imagination of the Grey or like... is that something to keep our eyes on? Or was it like Vi/Cait and the team? Were they already active at this time and they beat up the ladies in black leather? Did the ladies beat each other up in a gas-induced panic? Is this common "the Grey" LoL lore?

[jbk405]

Episode two, "Watch It All Burn", was more even and answered the questions that I kept asking over and over during the first episode (Mainly, "Where is Sevika in all this?").

I loved the music video status update we got with the Chem-Barons showing which of them had died off and which were still here. These little vignettes were an area where the show excelled in the first season and I'm glad to see it continue.

The show continues to portray Jinx as unwell, and I think it's very important that they've stuck to that. I said this back in the first season, but usually when a fiction has a "crazy" villain that just means "evil, but weird about it". They never take the time to actually show how they're suffering from their actual mental problems. Here, though, you can see exactly how Jinx is unraveling under her own guilt and disassociation and fears and rage and resentment and everything else. Jinx very much is a villain, but this engenders sympathy, or at least understanding.

Like I said, I was wondering what role Sevika would have in this season, because out of everybody left from Silco's organization I'd say she is the only honest patriot of Zaun still working. I still think she's evil for her original betrayal of Vander and her subsequent actions, but her actions were always because she honestly thought it was the best thing for the Undercity. Unlike the Chem-Barons it was never money that motivated her, or a driving personal urge like Jinx. If she can bring the Chem-Barons to heel, it's still possible that Zaun and Piltover may be able to deal with one another before all-out war erupts. Because she actually cares what happens to the people who live in the Undercity.

Of course, the best outcome would be for Ekko to make his own play for control as well. I meant it when I said that Sevika is an honest patriot, but she's still wrong a lot and it's the people she cares about who usually pay the price. Ekko's the one who's been fighting his own war against Silco all along, and the one who has experience caring for and supporting the people that got crushed under the boot heel of Sevika's patriotism. Instead of choosing to support either Piltover or "Zaun" (Sevika/The Chem-Barons), he could be the REAL leader of Zaun. Lead them to independence AND self-sufficiency, while not making an eternal enemy of their neighbors. Because whether or not you like Piltover, the city can't move, and they're going to have to live with each other afterwards.

Just finished watching episode 2 of Act 1, Season 2 of ‘Arcane: League Of Legends’. Jinx in her despair makes her introduction into the season narrating the story for the Undercity. With the mourning of her father figure Silco she’s practically stopped caring about absolutely anything and everything because no matter what she does she just makes things far worse yet the child that is still in her comes out when seeing her sister again. It’s always interesting to me Jinx’s erratic behaviour when she’s faced with something or someone from her past. That’s some very deep trauma she has to work through and I’m not too sure how she’s going to do it without no one really on her side helping her overcome her illness.

Vicktor’s come back to life and he has decided to split from his partnership with Jayce. I really don’t blame him. After seeing all the pain and death that’s been caused because of messing around with the magic, he is now endeavouring to heal the addicted and sick and… what?… gain disciples to his cause? I don’t know what’s going on there. But his new Hextech+Shimmer evolved form kind of reminds me of the figure of Moses. He is endowed with supernatural ability now. It makes me wonder if he has the power to part the Red Sea or call down the ten deadly plagues on Piltover in order to get his once beloved brother in arms to listen to his reason.

I jest but seriously tell me you don’t see the similarities. I don’t really know if it’s intentional but it’s what I see.

Once again - really really good writing. Well paced, well thought out and just very compelling characterization.

Help me rebuild my life amidst the genocide in Gaza

In the heart of Gaza, my family and I find ourselves grappling with the aftermath of a devastating genocide. We were once a family of seven, sheltered in the warmth of our home, but everything changed when our house, like countless others, was bombed, leaving us without a physical sanctuary.

I’m Malak, a second year IT student. Committed to my education, I had been working in a company to support my studies and my younger sisters. However, the demolition of the company stripped away our financial stability, casting us into uncertainty.

As violence escalated, we had to flee, navigating through waves of displaced families in search of safety. The journey was marked by peril, with the added challenge of not finding enough food and essentials during our displacement. Our source of income, my dad’s car that was vital to our livelihood, was targeted and destroyed. My mother also used to work her own business , Hand made embroidery and accessories called ( ماسة هاند ميد ) on facebook , as a source of income to our family , but all the tools and raw materials were destroyed. abruptly shattering the dreams we worked hard to fulfill for my sister.

Mais, my second sister, on the brink of completing high school or starting her university journey, had her dreams abruptly put on hold.,

Now, in the aftermath of these challenges, we strive to rebuild our house which was destroyed and demolished completely. Simultaneously, I face critical decisions about my education, contemplating whether to continue abroad or consider emigration for a promising new future.

I have initiated a GoFundMe campaign to seek financial assistance for my family's reconstruction efforts and to provide support for my education. The goal is not just to rebuild physical structures but to mend the shattered dreams and aspirations that once held the promise of a brighter tomorrow.

https://gofund.me/74a20c46

https://gofund.me/74a20c46

Every donation makes difference; we can rebuild not only our physical home but also the dreams we had diligently nurtured.

can you help me share & donate this campaign with your network and others to help me evacuate along with my family from Gaza and build my house again??

Thanks a lot!❤️

HOW DOES THIS SHOW KEEP GETTING BETTER? I just finished episode two and WOW. Episode 3 is going to be a doozy considering what the title is

[polymathart]

Two things I didn’t expect to find in this show: religion and animal abuse.
