#and mel and ambessa and singed and oriana

[yan-springlove]

I think of this every time my bestfriend and i are talking about all our theories for arcane ahdkdhdksl

One more day to go, you know what that means. Get your Act II predictions in now or risk not having proof of your correctness and superior media literacy skills.

Arcane was amazing and holy shit I feel like I was powerbombed with the power of every emotion.

It was just great, amazing. Highly recommend even if you don’t play league. Just a wonderful experience.

P.S.

Anyone from lol who are made that your main may have died. We have a lot of bodies unaccounted for. That is a classic story tellin trope to leave the doors open for a return.

I SHOULDN'T HAVE FUCKING DOUBTED THE WRITERS WHAT THE FUCK WAS ALL THAT. IM BLOWN AWAY.

2 minutes into the cold open of episode 7 and im on my hands and knees bless them for ekko's storyline im 😭😭😭 ready to cry

Anyways.

There's no season 3, but they still had more things set up for future events like Swain with the crow, Powder from the AU world implied to work on crossing over to our Arcane universe (for Vi and Ekko in our world, most likely), no idea where Jayce and Viktor went (tho most likely dead?? Idk so much was going on I have to rewatch and analyze), a glimpse of Oriana with Singed, Sevika on the council (fuck yeah!!), Mel taking over Ambessa's role and going back to Noxus, Caitlyn looking around the hexgates blueprints (to see where Jinx could have fallen, if there was any possibility she survived? There's a vent around where she was looking I think. Am I coping? Maybe)

I kind of love that they left us to so much imagine what could happen. There's so much material to play around with!!!

And they might just make another show. Most likely centered around Noxus, if it's set in the same world as our Arcane!

bear with me for a second yall but around 2 am after being awake for 23 hours combined with a couple drinks from being out with some friends, i was suddenly hit ideas of things that i thought could’ve helped season 2 to feel more satisfying for each character arc lmao 😭😭

definitely not saying this is perfect nor have i thought too much about if there would be any plot holes but i think it works for the most part

SEASON 1 CHANGES GOING INTO SEASON 2

-no ambessa introduction in season 1; or at least keep her in mel’s flashback or something so we still have a sense of why mel is against war

as much as i love ambessa, it feels like her arc got other character’s stories to be shortened. not having her play a role in season 2 really helps with allowing other characters to have more time on screen and with a couple changes they can still follow similar arcs they had a in season 2

-ending of season 1 plays out the same with jinx shooting the rocket at the council

ACT 1

-pretty much stays the same; no introduction of the black rose but instead after mel discovers that she could have powers, she leaves piltover to go on some journey to discover what it could be

-caitlyn still forms her strike team to try to catch jinx but after it fails she uses her power and status as a kiramman to place martial law on zaun

-basically everyone else still keeps their exact storyline from act 1

ACT 2

-jinx, who also agrees to be the symbol for the rebel group, is motivated by isha to mend her relationship with vi and discovers that she is pit fighting

no introduction of vander/warwick either; the time spent looking for him in episode 5 is instead focused on vi’s trauma and the sisters still end up on better terms

-cait is still inflicting martial law on zaun and starts to have a change of heart when something happens making her solely responsible for the killing of a mother in zaun, paralleling that to how she felt towards jinx killing cassandra. we begin to see her loosen her control of zaun in episode 6 while making efforts to try to atone for the damage she caused

-after helping vi, jinx has her work with the rebel group and they form a list of demands they find acceptable to produce to piltover that basically starts the process for zaun to become independent. vi is the one to bring these to cait with the hope that their relationship makes it more likely for it to be approved

-vi and cait make amends and cait apologizes

-jayce returns and still kills viktor at his cult

-singed is also present but instead of his experiments being on warwick, they’re on something else that is still intended to help his daughter; learns about viktor and his abilities and goes to him try to find a way to harness them for himself to use for oriana but isn’t able to figure it out before jayce kills viktor

-mel learns more about herself as a mage

ACT 3

-keep episode 7 the same

-episode 8 is preparation for war between piltover/zaun and viktor who is revived by singed like he was in the show

-zaun agrees to help fight viktor because they are on better terms with piltover after their proposal was accepted for their independence

-cait and jinx have a bit of a heart to heart moment and end their rift

-mel has returned from her self discovery journey and has her powers developed to where they were in act 3

-ekko returns with the zdrive and uses it to help win the fight

-final battle plays out but no jinx “death” since warwick isn’t present

-viktor and jayce scenes play out like it did in act 3

-cait steps down from her role in the kiramman house out of remorse for her actions and mel steps in to run piltover

-cait becomes a PI and we see her using her detective skills

-jinx, vi, and ekko help with rebuilding zaun to be a healthier place for its people

-caitvi are together and vi also helps cait with her investigative work sometimes

-singed could be successful with getting oriana back or not idk lol

THE END
