#arcane parallels

[bi-for-vi]

I don’t see anybody talking about this, but it hurt my heart

[your-senpaaaai]

just realised yet another one parallel in arcane

what caught my attention is this moment where jinx plays a little makeover with isha and dyes her hair

jinx wishes she had moments like this with her sister and in the next episode we see her painting her face to look almost the same as vi’s tattoo (ofc the writing itself is more in jinx’s style but still)

she’s just a girl who wanted to be like her older sis when she was little – the same way isha now wants to be like jinx

DONT TALK TO ME MY HEART IS BROKEN

ARCANE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS S1EP1 ↔ S2EP9 (2021-2024) ↳ "I think the cycle only ends when you find the will to walk away."

[pheracy]

Jinx's traces of make up after she has cried looks like Vi's face tattoo but backwards and they both have it in their left cheek.

Besides, her final look and outfit resembles her sister's in S1 and S2. The bandages covering her chest and the new hairstyle with the shaved undercut on the same side is also similar to Vi's.

After all it seems like Vi and Powder cannot coexist in the same timeline or dimension. When Powder lives, Violet doesn't. When Vi lives, Jinx decides not to. "Always with you, sis".

The parallels, the attention to detail and the design for each character in Arcane is insane. I can't believe this amazing series is over. I'm gonna miss these sisters like they were my relatives.

Reminds me of someone...

The parallels never stop

Especially in the first one, that is almost perfectly Silco's act one eye but pink

And to think that anyone still sees her as Vander's daughter?

[thegothicchangeling]

I think we should discuss that when Mel meets Not Kino in the Black Rose's prison, it's the most tragic possible parallel to Vi and Jinx when they meet again.

Jinx immediately recognizes her sister's voice, but can't believe it's really her. Mel does not immediately recognize her brother's voice, having been away from him for over a decade. But she believes it's him, until she has to accept that it's not.

The additional symbolism of this scene that no one talks about

The shot of Jayce looking down from Piltover vs Viktor’s looking up from Zaun

Viktor’s Night being the antithesis of Jayce’s Day, the night coming when Viktor saves Jayce and the day shining when Jayce saves Viktor

Focusing on Jayce’s shoulders: his responsibilities vs Viktor’s cane: his disability. These are the main things the characters struggle with or against in their main character arcs. Both the shoulder and cane are also forms of support offered to the other carry the burden of being alone. They complete each other.

Despite their differences if not outright dichotomy, they both stand in the same place over the same drop for the same reason alone in the same halo shaped portal to a permanent last stop

Viktor takes hold of the rune stone, the magic that will both doom and save him, tying his fate with Jayce’s. Jayce puts down his hammer and grasps Viktor’s shoulders, choosing him over his duty, dream, and Piltover…. Any of that sound familiar:

Anyway this is beautiful and we are in eternal debt to all of the writers, animators, and artists who worked on this bless

When Vi became an enforcer, Sevika should have been like “you’re playing lapdog to topside, just like your old man” or like “and you called me a traitor?” or something

oh,,, vi's pose when cait leaves her.... is the fucking same.... as powder when vi left her.. .

On the knees, hands clutching the stomach, crying and looking at the person leaving.... yep okay yeah I'm 🙂

guys maybe im going crazy and starting to overanalyse everything in arcane BUT LISTEN

one thing I kept noticing in s2ep7 (which I rewatched an insane amount of times) is how different powder's mimics are from jinx's

like even when her expressions are pretty calm and she's not smiling ear to ear she has SMILE LINES !!!! I've watched arcane a bunch of times and never noted out the same for jinx. yes we see her screaming/crying etc and her mimics are obviously expressive in those moments but when she's not experiencing some crazy shit her face is just kinda blank ??

a lot of people have already said how powder is taller, has different physics and healthier skin tone and I think her expressions is another thing that shows how much her and jinx's lives are not alike

she has a ton of reasons to smile every day while we've barely seen jinx do it :(((( powder is happy and it's literally marked on her face :((((
