found family is simply zaunite culture.

i didn't capture the look on cait's face reacting to this scene, but i would love to know what was going through her mind watching vi's family come together. it's not what she's used to, that being the typical picture-perfect nuclear family, but nonetheless, they're all happy. truly, that's all that matters.

the four of them have been through so much trauma, and yet, seeing how they all interact with each other it's as though nothing seemed to matter in that very moment.

i wonder if cait was allowed a bit of introspection on her grief towards her own mother's death. being someone of her status, she simply shouldn't have lost her mother the way that she did. she was so foreign to the concept of loss that she let her guilt pull her into becoming someone that readily committed horrendous acts to avenge her. she unknowingly became someone her mother would not have even recognized.

vi, on the other hand, is no stranger to loss. she lost everyone she ever loved, and yet, she always kept vander's words in her mind when he told her, "you have a good heart, don't ever lose it." the worst thing she did was leave powder, of course, which led to her becoming jinx. but the guilt she felt led her to try to fix things, rather than make things worse.

does cait realize now, that she didn't properly allow herself the chance to process her grief? does she know that if she did, she would have likely been able to live a (somewhat) peaceful life without having to become the symbol that she is? does she now feel (after reconnecting with vi and being saved by jinx) that her anger was expressed the wrong way?

now that act 2 ended the way it did, i wonder how vi and jinx will handle losing vander again and isha (maybe) as well.

This show's first season came out as I was adjusting to PTSD and watching what Jinx experiences, when she's triggered, was such a strange comfort. And you're right, they perfectly show that her murderous tenancies are the problem, not her mental illness. As someone who has struggled with mental health problems for most of my life as well as the stigmatisation and exclusion that often comes with it, Jinx has always felt like a fantastic exploration and representation of those things. We need more characters written like her.

I am once again screaming over the way they portrayed Jinx’s mental illness in Arcane.

The blackouts?? Jinx referring to her current self and past self in third person, as if neither of them are really her??? The fact that her biggest trigger is being/feeling alone???? I mean, every scene or, at least, almost every scene where she’s by herself, she has an episode. It’s consistent; shit doesn’t just happen at random or because it moves the plot along, and the way her episodes happen is also consistent. She has habits. Mylo’s always the devil on her shoulder; she sees images in her art style; she hears voices that change from whispers to noises so loud she can’t hear herself think, and it all scares her so much that if she has a gun in her hand, she always shoots.

Idk, I just think it’s nice to have some accurate representation of what this shit looks like.

Damn, this scene right here where Vi reaches out to her to comfort Jinx just KILLS me every time.

It's a very small scene, but it carries so much weight because it shows how, despite all that's happened, Vi's love for her sister is still very much present, and the bitterness and resentment she felt toward her all those years ago are withering away.

I also love that when she retracts her hand, she doesn't do it forcefully or speedily, which would indicate hostility or resentment. She does it gently as if she's saying to herself, "Maybe I'll just give her some space for now."

As great as the big emotional scenes are (e.g., Vander reuniting with her daughters), you CANNOT undervalue the little moments that made them all the more impactful.
