man arcane writes women like no other and it's not even close

jinx, torn apart by her own mind, haunted by her past and her mistakes, unsure even how to move forward but instinctually driven to do so no matter what

vi, the opposite side of the coin, driven to rage by the same kind of trauma but begging the world not to change even as she herself has

mel, a pragmatic and graceful leader, eternally poised in both her strategic judgment and compassion

caitlyn, once merciful even as she outgrew her naivete, now spiraling down into incorrigible hatred as she tries to control an uncontrollable and unknowable future

ambessa, the ultimate wolf mother, cutting deals and resorting to betrayal and manipulation as long as it means she can protect those she cares about

#arcane #insights #arcane spoilers #every one of the main female characters is strong without ever saying it - they're strong because everything they do belies strength #i know these are super distilled summaries but i just am so grateful to see women depicted so fully from a wide variety of personas #it's just fucking incredible #not a single character falls flat #and it's both painful and so blessed to be able to see caitlyn traversing the path of pain into corrupted judgment #because that kind of depth is usually off-limits for women! :))) can't be complicated and angry and desperate!#anyways thank you riot i may hate arams but you make good stories
