[sergeanthatredbignaturals]

Guys i just finished s2 act one

CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW CAITLYN GOING TO THE COUNCILLOR MEETING IS A PARALLEL TO SILCO IN THE CHEMBARON ASSEMBLY???

“We aren’t prepared for a full scale invasion”

“We aren’t due for an assembly”

THE WAY SOMEONE GETS CUT OFF SPEAKING

THE WAY SHE WALKS IN

IM ACTUALLY TWEAKING OUT RN

[q8qwertyuiop8p]

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?

Arcane Rant -

Rewatching arcane and I realized something; first scenes of episode 3 are a turning point. Not just in the whole ‘establishing Silco’ business, but because if Vander had truly ended up in Stillwater there’s a good chance Vi would have been the one taken in by Silco.

Vi would have blamed herself for his imprisonment, leaving her vulnerable in a similar way to how powder was, but she would have also become something different; greater.

She would have had to maintain some level of sanity in order to be a parent to Powder and a leader to the rest of the kids. Silco’s attack on Vander actually cost him more than he gained in the end, he could have had Vi and Jinx, maybe even Ekko, but he lost all that because of his vengeance and I think that’s the great thing about his character; his failure, flaw, is that he is too opportunistic, too much of an idealist.

That’s why he’s the perfect foil to another character I lowkey hate; Heimerdinger. Heimerdinger is not opportunistic, and that costs him so much; he’s not idealistic, rather he’s cynical and that leads him to believe that there’s only one option for progress.

Silco and Heimerdinger are each others parallel, instead of Heimerdinger and Singed/Silco and Jayce as I originally thought

Back to my original thing though -

Basically the first scene of episode 3 changes the whole narrative. Silco originally wanted to take Vi rather than Powder and he only took Powder because he had no other option. The original plan was for Vi to become ‘Jinx’, for her to become the next iteration of Vander leadership but with Silco’s ideals; instead we got Jinx the unwitting revolutionary, the embodiment of a weapon.

Silco doomed the undercity through his own quest for revenge and I think that’s super fitting and might be a bit of foreshadowing for the coming season (Vi & the underground theory truther right here)

pls recommend arcane fanfics (but like a whole book with the original story, not just one part) where reader hates piltover and silco but loves jinx like a lil sister <3

I haven’t seen this parallel mentioned before, but it feels like it is eluding to something… I just don’t know what.

The shoulder touch Jayce always gives him must bring him back to his time with Singed. And in this scene, Viktor just mentioned “a friend” (Singed) who can help them, all the more for his look of remembrance like this happened before…

[bi-for-vi]

OKAY ACTUALLY im taking this a step further

The parallel reaches to *where* the mirror is shattered in relation to where the girlies are in the mirror.

Jinx’s mirror cracks around her head/eye, because her *mind* is broken and she is cray-cray

Vi’s mirror is broken around her because the world is (seemingly but also kinda literally) *falling apart around her*. She lost her parents, lost her adoptive brothers, adoptive father, and her sister, AND prob her love (Caitlyn). Not to mention things between Zaun/Pilty is shit right now. Her world is literally crumbling around her

THE PARALLELS.

just a psa there is a parallel in arcane season two that links to season one that TORE ME APART AND WAS ABSOLUTELY GUT WRENCHING. i will not post the frames until november but just so u know i thought of it and i’ve been thinking about it every day since i saw it and i will be posting it when the actual season comes out

BUT AHHHH I SIMPLY CANNOT WAIT

[navvka]

this parallel drives me crazy

[monophobix]

oh the jayce caitlyn parallels need to be STUDIED.

jayce, who was initially as ignorant and unknowing as all topsiders being manipulated into creating the downfall of the undercity, only to learn and realise that zaunites deserve to live just as much as topsiders do.

caitlyn, who was initially as ignorant and unknowing as all topsiders being shown the beauty of the undercity and thinking zaunites deserve to live just as topsiders do only to be manipulated and used to create the downfall of the undercity.

ooooh how their arcs are so similar and cursed.

[q8qwertyuiop8p]

Thanks Riot I wasn't planning on being happy today anyways

[thunderandsage]

not the way jayce experienced a miracle by mage as a child and wanted to bring it into the world with order and erudition, but the way the decision to merge viktor with the hexcore came from sheer panic and love and in the end this is how the mage comes back—and all it cost him was his humanity
