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…

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

[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.

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?

[thejdblog]

OH-GOSH! No...

That parallel?! Take her pain and give it to me!!!!!!!!

[miraofhearts2point0]

OKAY JINX OF ARC

(adding onto the main post rq bc more people see it that way: Sevika calls Jinx a symbol--it's important to note that St. Joan was also more of a symbol than a general. she rallied her men and gave orders, yes, but her presence was one of symbolic and a physical manifestation of Divine Guidance; in this context, it's very Jinx-adjacent and 100% intentional imo)

[rosebittenapple]

hello so hm I found a new parallel and it's making me insane, thank you

(her new found acceptance, or her sister

power, or his daughter

their lifelong dreams or their family)

[violetrashie]
