hi hello i think im in love with ur brain, thank you for being on the internet

hello!! aaaaa this is SO sweet thank you so much anon you're too nice to me. i am so terrified of existing on the internet with my thoughts and opinions especially about DC stuff, so this is very reassuring of you to say. so thank you for caring about the things that come out of my brain <3

[sunderwight]

Thinking some more about why Old Man Viktor would want hextech to be invented, or to specifically be invented by Jayce, such that his meddling involves giving Jayce the rune that he uses to kickstart his innovations, when a simpler way to prevent catastrophe in any given timeline would but to just... not invent hextech at all?

And I've got another theory!

I think Old Man Viktor is actually looking for a way to unfuck his own timeline.

If it was just about saving others, that doesn't seem like it would be all that complicated, and, unless he's failed every prior time (possible) it should probably have a set routine by now. Also, why would there need to be so many attempts? Is he doing this for every single timeline, or is he deliberately creating new timelines and experimenting with the results?

I think it's the latter, given that we see him provide young Jayce with different runes, and that he's presumably used different methods of persuasion and involved other different factors in the process. Again, it's possible -- given Ekko and the reversal rune -- that this is the first time it's worked at all, but I think that Viktor's comment that in all timelines, only Jayce can show him the futility of his actions would in fact imply otherwise. There have been other timelines where Jayce has successfully compelled Viktor out of his plan, or else I think Old Man Viktor would have phrased it more like "only you might show me this in some version of events" rather than "in all timelines, only you can show me this".

So, probably, there have been other timelines where the world is saved by Jayce's intervention.

Which is great, and Old Man Viktor takes it as a win, but I think why he keeps on doing it and what he's ultimately after is the right formula for a means to sort of unbake his cake, if you will. Old Man Viktor's own timeline has already been doomed. He's the only one left, trapped in his "perfect" outcome that has become a prison of (in his own words) dreamless solitude. He can't escape what he's done and he can't rest, and outside of his scant interactions with the Jayces of other timelines, he's alone. His Jayce is gone, everyone is gone. Like the ingredients baked into a cake, the people that he bound together into his ascension cannot be alchemized back into the individuals that they once were.

Or can they?

After all, this is magic we're dealing with. Magic, technology, and the same genius that created the problems in the first place. If there's a way to undo it, who else could figure it out? I think the main cast of the show comprises the people who might and the people who are most likely to influence and inspire them -- Jayce and Viktor, who started the problem. Mel, an incredibly powerful mage. Singed, who taught Viktor and helped engineer his transcendence. Jinx and Ekko, two of the only other people in either city to actually figure out hextech on their own. Heimderdinger, Jayce's teacher. Even Ambessa brings along the Black Rose, who might feasibly contribute something to the undoing of Viktor's calamity.

Viktor is very stubborn, and he doesn't abandon his causes easily. I think that once he realized the folly of what he'd done, and accepted the reality that he had destroyed the world instead of saving it, his next course of action would be to either finally die or else fix it. If he can't die (probable) then that just leaves fixing it. Fixing it for other timelines is great, but ultimately, knowing Viktor and what he's like, I don't think he would be satisfied with that. He'd accept it as a consolation prize and ultimately if that's his limit, he'll find out one day. But if he has infinite space time to play around in, why not aim big? Why not try for the ideal outcome?

So that's what I think he is really waiting for. A lead into the method to truly undo what he did, and restore everyone to themselves. Not just in other timelines but in his own too.

[itsmyfandomandilikeit]

Ok I have gone through all available evidence and I have a prediction.

Look I'm ngl I am watching Arcane for Cait and Vi. I love the show overall but this ship is what I'm most here for, especially after I spent the last 3 years under the assumption that Mel was dead. Glad she isn't. Point is, I really want CaitVi/Violyn/Piltover's Finest to be handled well, and I pay a disproportionate amount of attention to what happens with these two.

After watching the first arc of season 2 the other day, I was trying really hard to ignore the ending to episode 3. I didn't like that Cait hit Vi in the stomach and abandoned her in a pit after being all classist at her, but I thought, this is Arcane. Arcane is the greatest fucking thing I've ever seen, of course they're gonna find a way to make this work. But that made me think of it as a puzzle. How could they possibly make this work?

Option one, Cait sucks now and she and Vi don't get back together. I don't think this makes sense, because of the brand. CaitVi is a popular ship that just about everybody likes. A huge amount of the hype for this season before the trailers came out was building up assurances that don't worry, CaitVi is happening and it's not gonna be ambiguous. Take this teaser from like two weeks after season 1 ended, a couple of Valentine's Day icons, and one million tweets from Amanda Overton. Why the fuck would they make this season be about Cait and Vi not working out? It simply doesn't make logical sense.

Ok, so we're starting from the assumption that Cait and Vi have a happy ending that makes people feel like they should be together, and continue to want to play as them in the games and buy merchandise. That means they either explicitly get back together, or it's so implied there isn't much of a difference. My money is on zero ambiguity. Vi is the main character and Cait is maybe #3 or #4. Ambiguity about their ending would just look like a weak writing choice and they didn't know what they're doing. The Arcane writers don't tend to go for wishy washy.

But here's the problem. Domestic violence is bad. It's about the fastest way to guarantee the majority of your audience doesn't think two characters should be together. It would take a herculean effort on Cait's part to make up for that and honestly I still wouldn't believe it. To me, there isn't any kind of act of service that makes up for hitting your partner. Not even ensuring the independence of the nation of Zaun. Add on top of that the over the top hurtful comments about Vi's blood and class. It makes her look very much like, deep down, she thinks of Vi as beneath her. If she meant those things, a relationship between them is impossible. (Not to mention how many teenaged girls I know are watching this, and I don't want them to think it's ever okay to be treated like that, even in a fantasy series.)

So my prediction is this. The only way to make a relationship between Cait and Vi viable again is to render those comments and the sentiment they carry meaningless. How do the writers do that? Imo it turns out later that Cait intentionally came up with cruel things to say to cut Vi loose. She realized that Vi would never be able to kill Jinx, and this new explosion will make the situation aboveground even worse, and Vi still won't be able to contribute to the hunt after this. Vi has no future as an enforcer against Jinx and will probably get treated like dogshit as a Zaunite, so Cait is "breaking her heart to save her", as Tvtropes would say. In Cait's mind, it's better if she's left down here in Zaun.

What evidence do I have for this? It fits Cait's characterization as a genius who thinks quickly and several steps ahead. It fits the tiny animation details we zero in on of her stiffening her trembling lips and furled eyebrows. It un-ruins the most popular canon relationship in League. It allows act 1 to end on massive shock value but roll it back later to show that Cait actually does love Vi, enough to let her go for her own good.

I'm not arguing this is the best possible solution but it's the one I think they're going to go with. Amanda Overton and some others have repeatedly said that CaitVi fans will be happy with the ending to Arcane. Everything about the show(the opening, Netflix Brazil's Twitter account, the story) points to them being the show's OTP except for this one scene. I think Cait intentionally cut Vi out of her life by pretending to be much crueler than she wanted to be, to protect her and, likely, as a form of self destruction.

[chronicsyd]

yea, we ALL know why I'M here at this point (like most people i waited All Night for this thing) but Enough Yapping, let's do this! (go watch it first, I'll be doing an Excessive deep dive of this thing (I also had a couple of drafts I've made in the last 48 hours talking about certain worries I've seen from the fandom about season 2, but decided to lay off posting about it until the trailer came out so I'll be addressing some of those in a later post as well), and as always, leakers will be blocked and deleted).

SO, with All That outta the way, let's get into it: Firstly, i was left Completely Speechless by this whole thing like HOLY SHIT! i don't even know What to SAY! Yes we've had a few repeat scenes from the old teaser and clips but obviously the new stuff's what I'm more interested in.

The trailer opens up with Vi admitting to Caitlyn that she was right and saying "My sister is gone. there's only Jinx now." which is something that I've been speculating about since June (well the "there's only Jinx and Jinx is the one that needs to be stopped" thing), so we've already had a clear cut path where Vi is concerned. BUT what interests me is that first part of the conversation is still part of when she's talking to her in her Enforcer Uniform, so her head's probably telling her that stopping Jinx is the right thing to do here after what happened with the Council.

I also don't think I've mentioned this in a post, but I've also had speculation that the person in the hood from the teaser was Jinx not Viktor (just things like how the shoulder width didn't seem to match him but the one second clip we got of him i wasn't able to cross-reference all that well, also the monkey painting in the background added to that factor) but it seems like the show is reenforcing that this is Jinx here.

I've also somehow underestimated just HOW unhinged Caitlyn's going to be this season. like "I want to tear that laugh from her throat forever." is a Crazy line like Jesus Cait!

But what sticks out to me about this scene is not only the fact that Vi's very clearly crying here, you can tell not only by the length of her hair but the fact that the black seems to be somewhat fading means that she spends quite a bit of time hiding out in Zaun (downright Confirming about my thoughts of a timeskip from my last post). Now of course we don't have the context about what she's crying about but it seems like she's just overall frustrated about her situation. But another thing that actually pops up later in the trailer is that Vi actually still has her hair like this,

which means that I actually might be wrong about Vi being in Zaun before she's even in her Enforcer getup with Caitlyn. it seems to me that this whole thing with Vi wearing black actually happens after she fights against Jinx in the temple, perhaps thinking that being an Enforcer and in Piltover with Caitlyn isn't the right choice for her and tries to go about life her own way for a while (which is probably the thing we're "going to hate" when it comes to Caitvi).

Now, the next part of the trailer is what they already showed us with Caitlyn and Jinx talking to Ambessa and Sevika so i don't need to go over that again. However right after that, Sevika asks Jinx what she's planning.

Jinx's response? "to watch it all burn". Whether or not if Piltover recovers from Fishbones doesn't seem to matter to her, she wants everything to burn to the ground. But just a side note the way she's looking at the match in this frame very clearly reminds her of Silco, and still going by the streaked makeup, it's still a fresh wound for her.

now, this frame?

I don't actually have any solid answers for. by the look in Vi's eyes, I'm presuming she's reaching out to either Jinx, Caitlyn, or Ekko. She's not wearing her Enforcer getup here (at least it doesn't look like what she's been wearing) and i can't solidly place the background, there isn't any familiar landmarks sticking out to me. But Vi's hair and bandages make me think that this is probably when she's just starting to come out of hiding here.

There seems to be a bunch of Undercity riots happening against Piltover, which i think is a factor where Ambessa tells Caitlyn that "in order to restore peace you have to enact Martial Law". I could be wrong about this but honestly i don't think I am.

Warwick looks just as fantastic as ever, but they haven't really given us any clear cut answers on how they're planning to utilize him besides being a living weapon for Singed. Singed says "you felt it, haven't you?" but it's rather unclear who he's talking to here, i don't think he's talking to Warwick, i think he might actually be talking to Viktor and talking about the Hexcore and the Arcane and such because of Viktor's "glorious evolution" path.

Now to the part of the Trailer that COMPLETELY confuses me...

someone says "the Arcane is waking up", NO idea who's saying this or who it's being said TO, NO idea who These people are supposed to be, I just-- yea this is the only part of the trailer that I'm at a Complete loss for words. The Arcane is magic we all know that, it's what Jayce's whole thing has been about, mixing magic and technology together into Hextech. but this is implying that while Jayce was doing all this the Arcane itself was just... slumbering? i guess. like are these people going to turn out to be mages because of this or something? idk, see, endless list of questions but Absolutely no answers. let's just move on before my brain explodes trying to figure this out.

I skipped a few repeat scenes (like the ones of Caitlyn and the other enforcers against the Chemtanks because I've already talked about it), and put a pin on the Ekko scene i skipped I'm coming back to it.

SO, it turns out we were right in claiming that Jinx loses her middle finger with the art book cover, and I'm Pretty sure that Caitlyn actually shoots it off (which probably explains the "WTF CAITLYN?!" comment i was talking about with addressing the leaks). Also this is like, the Most psychotic I think I've ever seen Jinx like Jesus Christ do NOT leave me alone in a room with her!

Ekko says "sometimes taking a leap foward means leaving some things behind"; maybe he's talking about the past? I don't know who he's talking to here specifically, it may just be giving advice to Vi, seeing as we do see the two working together later in the trailer after Vi's hair is grown out.

Now, I'm going to go a wee bit out of order here for a moment, just because I'm saving something for last.

I was Completely right about Vi facing off against Warwick at some point (i was basically Screaming "Chekov's gun!" for months when Warwick was confirmed), But Vi's still in her Undercity getup here, so I don't know if she's recognizable to him at all here, if this has to do with the illegal fighting ring that she's doing, but the dust seems to kinda go against that, like it's not a "now for our main event!" smokey kinda entrance, if you catch my drift here.

I can't tell if this is supposed to be a flashback of Powder or not because the other person is extremely hard to place, like it looks kind of like Sevika's new hair it's just that the lighting is so dark you can't make out their face. and if its a flashback to the age that Powder was in the opening shot the clothes don't seem to match, like there are things that contradict each other that doesn't make the scene clear cut to me.

Now this frame basically confirms something I've had on my mind, I just never made a post about. and that was my concern that Caitlyn was going to get herself hurt by these Chemtanks. the reason for that being we only saw her going against these things with her rife (and not the Hextech one). Vi and Jayce could handle themselves back in episode 8 because they had the Hammer and Gauntlets, but every other Enforcer there with a rifle was Easily taken out. and Arcane doesn't really go about the "simple plot armor" route, so i saw this ending not very well for her, despite being a good marksman.

And of course we only get another ONE SECOND clip of Viktor to prove he's alive that doesn't even Show His Face! like we Know this is him, and the gem in his wrist seems to imply that he's already going down the "glorious evolution" path here.

I don't have anything to say about this other than i have NO idea what it's supposed to be and that its Freaky looking. Like it kinda reminds me of Silco for some reason, like i don't think its supposed to but that's where my heads leaning for some reason.

Now, does it seem like I've left something out? It's because I did.

What these shots in particular are telling me is that Ambessa actually turns on Caitlyn (because I claimed that earlier in the season Caitlyn actually allies herself with Ambessa and i still believe that to be true) and tries to take over Piltover, because in the shot of Ambessa she's clearly hitting Enforcers, not people of the Undercity, and Caitlyn and Vi are wearing matching outfits here (Vi also reminds me of the ironhulk from Infinity War with this thing) meaning that the two are still working together here, but there is one little thing that I did leave out talking about these shots.

I can totally see this being a chaotic fight between the Undercity, the Enforcers, and Noxus, because Jinx is clearly still in Piltover during this shot. Now Jinx says "then stop me." during this but its definitely a spliced line i don't think she's saying it during this scene and I do believe that she's probably talking to Vi here (and maybe my ears are playing tricks on me but it kinds sounds "echoey" so it's probably from the temple fight). but can we talk about the Purple in her hair now? like despite having a hood on, That's Badass!

Edit: NOPE! I lied, I have a couple more things to point out.

Caitlyn blows up Jinx in this shot, which if I'm right about Vi being an Enforcer before going underground this is gonna cause some Serious issues between the two (because despite saying "my sister is gone" I don't believe that Vi would want an attempt at her sisters life, another pointer in the "thing we're going to hate with Caitvi" oy-vey...). When I mentioned Caitlyn probably being the one shooting off Jinx's finger earlier, i didn't also think about that final shot of Caitlyn from the teaser being right before what happens here. Because we already knew that Caitlyn was apart of this fight, just didn't dawn how drastically this fight is probably going to turn out. Because the explosion is all glowey like that Because Caitlyn's using her Hextech rifle in this scene, and it functions more in the way Jayce's Hammer does than Vi's gauntlets do.

So I'm not exactly sure when this fight scene is taking place, I don't think it's the temple fight, despite what little i can gather from the background, it doesn't seem to quite match the temple, and i think Vi and Caitlyn are still alone during that specific fight (could be wrong but that's just what they've shown as of right now) and I'm seeing Vi as shooting a rocket, blowing up the building that Sevika and Caitlyn were standing next to. it's also hard to name the expression that Jinx is wearing right after this, but it's clear that she was at least part of this fight as well.

Ok, NOW I'm done! I promise! I spent the last TWO HOURS on this thing since the trailer dropped and I'll most likely be spamming about it more if/when i suddenly get new thoughts about it. But that's all for now, bye! (I'M SO EXCITED FOR NOVEMBER AHHH WHY CAN'T IT GET HERE FAST ENOUGH?!)

[caitlynxviolet]

"She's an enforcer to stop Jinx"

She's an enforcer to get to Jinx, and stop Sevika or literally anything else that has gone to shit.

Because a few of you said I didn't know the LoL lore, I'm going to talk about the lore. I read all of it. I know about it, probably more than you do, honestly. I've been playing the damn game since 2018.

Vi in LoL is just a cop. She grew up in Zaun as an orphan, became really good at fighting and was given an opportunity to work as an enforcer. Being an enforcer is her job, essentially, and the job looks like your typical cop job because it is. Was she hired to stop Jinx? No. She has to stop many bad guys and villains alongside Caitlyn. Jinx is just kinda there to mess with them. She frequently blows stuff up and is just a menace in general. Now, I don't know if they never arrest her because she's too smart for them and she escapes them, or if they just let her be. It's been a while since I read the lore, so I'm not sure about the details and it's also incomplete and from years ago (it's like 10+ years old). Vi doesn't remember her childhood because she was taken to an orphanage too young. If she knows Jinx is her sister, it's surface level information and it doesn't really affect their dynamic.

Basically, there's no depth in the LoL lore. The oppressive system of enforcers isn't addressed at all. Jinx being a nuisance is just a silly thing outside of Vi needing to do her job with Caitlyn. It's silly. It's goofy. We love it for that. Let it be that.

Arcane brings complex issues to a similar, albeit completely different, premise. From the literal start of the show, we see what enforcers are. They're there to enforce the rules. They kill people in front of children. Vi grows up with enforcers terrorizing Zaun. She has every reason not to trust them (she says so in the show) and not to become one of them. Outside of her existing views on enforcers, she knows her sister. She grew up with her. She was separated from her, when she was old enough to remember of course, and it haunts her. She loves her sister. She wants her back. Jinx is not just a silly troublemaker like in the LoL lore. She's traumatized. All she knows is violence. She's been brainwashed by Silco, someone who didn't exist at all in the lore, but he'd be like a big mafia type villain.

You can't look at her being an "enforcer" in Arcane and be like: "yup, she's an enforcer! it makes sense because she chose to be an enforcer in the lore". It makes no sense for her to choose to be an enforcer in Arcane with the way things are.

It'd make more sense if Caitlyn and Vi tried to abolish the enforcement system as it is by creating something new. A new defense force. Isn't that what we want? Someone still needs to fight off the Shimmer mutants and address the evil in both Zaun and Piltover. That's the solution they find out of necessity. Cait and Vi aren't rule makers, so I still think this part will be done by Jayce, Viktor and Mel if they're still alive, but that certainly changes everything.

Finding Jinx is a side quest in the grand scheme of things, but it's Vi's main quest. Always has been, always will be. It will be her main quest throughout season two, even if she's distracted by other things. So choosing to become an "enforcer" facilitates her way to Jinx and allows her to fight the bad guys. That's all.

[dragonshoard]

I've been brainstorming the conditions under which BB!Jinx would meet Vi, and one option I've come across is post-Shurima conflict and Silco's death (still up in the air on how THAT happens). Vi is released as a result of Caitlyn's newest project to burn out the corruption in Piltover's judicial system. Vi comes back to Zaun to try and find Powder, eventually running into Sevika who reveals that Silco killed Powder. As a note, Sevika does NOT know that Powder was revived and genuinely isn't lying to Vi knowingly. Not many Zaunites who knew Powder have actually seen Jinx's face at this point other than a few individuals.

Vi crashes out. Hard. Going down the drinking and fighting route she did post-Cait break up.

I've mentioned before that Vi is also spirit-blessed in this AU. She's tempered iron and bedrock, an untapped potential forged to serve as a reliable foundation; someone capable of carrying the world on her shoulders even on the worst days.

(Some of this is pretty literal: her bones are very difficult to break and she's very good at taking hits.)

This connection to the arcane draws Jinx to her, who is somewhat disappointed at the state she finds her spirit-sister (ha). Jinx takes to patching her up when Vi gets especially banged up.

Here's a snippet of one of their interactions. Tis a work in progress.

Why is Jinx wearing a veil in addition to her feather cloak? Haven't figured that out quite yet - probably something along the lines of it not being entirely safe for her face to be out there at the moment or a religious trial of some sort. Either way, I realized it was way too easy for the hood of her cloak to be knocked down so I had to add an extra layer of security.

--x--

“Ya know, this is the fourth time I’ve had to drag you to the church in a month.” 

The arm in her grasp jerked away in an attempt to escape, but Jinx was used to dealing with unruly patients. It was easy to adjust her grip to keep a better hold of the injured limb and continue wrapping it in clean bandages. 

“Stop tensing. You’re going to end up with loose bandages and then where will all of my hard work have gone, huh,” Jinx scolded, pinching the singular uninjured part of the exposed shoulder.

“It’s not like I asked for your help.” The arm tensed again before visibly, forcefully, relaxing. If there was one thing Jinx appreciated her unwilling patient for, it was that despite complaining the brawler actually listened to instructions. 

“Don’t be ungrateful, shithead.”  snip

“I just don’t get why you’re going through all the trouble. You could do your hand-wavey healing magic and I’d be out of your hair in half the time.”

Jinx frowned, tempted to give the cocky bastard another pinch for the audacity but eventually settled for rolling her eyes. The humor was lost, of course, with the thick veil covering everything nose up, but it was the thought that counted! 

“Only people who don’t go around picking fights and making a mess of their pretty faces get a fancy healing session with me.” She slapped the adhesive just a bit harder on the bandage than necessary, feeling a glow of satisfaction at the responding flinch. “You, get to heal the old fashion way. Slowly,” Jinx cackled. 

“And here I thought you religious folk were supposed to be kind and worldly,.”

“Excuse you, I am the kindest person you will ever meet. I could’ve left your scruffy ass where I found it instead of hauling you all the way to my side of town.”

Jinx was careful with the remaining materials, quickly packing away the salvaged remains and sterilizing the needles she had used with a lighter. With a cursory look at her first aid pouch, Jinx realized that she would have to restock soon. 

“Seriously, you don’t have to keep wasting your supplies on me. I’ll get by.” 

Now, that sounded far too depressing for this early in the day. And that was disregarding the blatant day drinking that the older woman took part in. Jinx looked back up to make a joke but stopped short at the look on the other’s face. 

Ah, it was one of those days.

“Vi - “ she began, stopping for a second to try and find the right words.

She wasn’t - good at talking; had never picked up the talent despite how often she’d needed it - too cutting, too sarcastic, and entirely lacking in patience. She’d gotten better over the years, but it didn’t change that in times like these Jinx just wasn’t the best person to turn to, especially when dealing with jobs that went beyond the body. 

[vole-mon-amour]

2x08, part 1.

Sure, Jan. That's why this nonsense with Caitlyn is happening right now.

I'm glad to get back to the right universe, even though Silco is dead here. Can we just PLEASE acknowledge his existence along all of this? Please? He existed and he ruled Zaun? And used shimmer? And Jinx loved him and still does? Hello?

I just miss Silco, okay? Okay.

I wonder if they also manipulate her or if there's truth to what that being told her.

So she took the necklace, but in here they're kind of trying to strangle her?

Ugh.

Here we go with the doomed yaoi. :/

I will evolve all those willing.

Except it's not really an evolution, is it?

I see that crack in the door. Maddie should piss off to Ambessa right away, that traitor. Also, the girls should've made sure the door IS closed and Maddie is gone.

Of fucking course she did. She wants to kill herself because of her grief—Isha on top of Silco. Her character development is out of the window this season.

I've heard that before. I'm so tired of Vi.

She probably talks about herself, but all I see is Jayce trying to kill Viktor. Honestly, what an idiot.

Oh, piss off with this foreshadowing.

Hey, Cait, do the work yourself first.

Let's talk about the horrible grief she experienced and still does. Let's talk about SIlco. Let's see some flashbacks with him & how much he always meant to her.

"Why didn't you save Viktor? So I wouldn't have to kill him?"

Too bad you didn't see that when Viktor was right there, needed you, while you were fucking Mel. Ugh.

I can see how his canonical design is kind of coming together.

Oh my god, Jayce. Get your facts right.

Couldn't they be this touchy when Viktor wasn't becoming a villain?

Hey, partners. Can you two kiss for once? Please?

Daamn.

Can't stop thinking about how swift Viktor's motions are now. How he easily avoids all those attacks while he could barely walk before, especially without his cane.

Aaand we're back to this nonsense. Also, the fact that Viktor's mechanical creation is all white and golden, just like Mel. Ugh, i need my Jayvik.

flashback of Silco braiding her hair WHEEENNNN?

CRYIIINGGGG. my loooove. I miss you SO much.

can i just please hug him, please please please ;____;

just like Silco and Vander, huh?

[red-lights-of-doooooom]

league of idiots season 2 part 2

hey what's up, boys, girls, and error-gender-not-found. welcome bad to my bad faith takes. it's ya girl ash, and i've finally finished watching the second season of the show "insane", based on "league of assholes".

(yes, i know i'm three weeks late. bear with me, okay? i've been really fuckin' busy and work is kicking my ass.)

so there's an episode which is surprisingly heterosexual for the league of lesbians. i mean, it's all about that "alternate universe" bullshit everyone loves nowadays. typical normal high school AU with ekko and jinx/powder/crazy blue chick. but of course, blue hair and pronouns has a nice little high school prom with mr. teen genius before he goes back to reality. they dance to a little french song. cute. it's...nice. :)

also, the song is by stromae, who is cool as fuck. j'aime beaucoup stromae. le même gars qui nous a donné "papaoutai"!

the next episode is WHOA NELLIE. russian science jesus has gone nuts! also he turns into some evangelion robot and fights hobo genius zac efron because he's bad now or whatever. galaxy brain is bad, i mean. not hobo genius zac efron. zac efron is not bad. just....okay. definitely traumatized.

meth hair is in jail, but escapes, because this show wants to fuck with me and make sure that nobody solves problems like a well-adjusted adult.

AND THEN THERE'S A LESBIAN SEX SCENE WITH VI AND CAITLYN!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!! LET'S GO LET'S GO LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO!

(we apologize for the inconvenience. the sound you hear in the distance is the sound of thousands of lesbians cheering. and also bisexual women, and sapphics in general. and ME.)

sure, it probably wasn't, like, a FULL sex scene. but i'd prefer it over the one in season 1, which was interspersed with clips of a literal explosion, if i remember correctly.

kind of surprising how quickly vi took her back, though. i mean, british woman was literally fucking the new coworker. LITERALLY. i'd see it as an abuse of position, but whatever. maybe i have it wrong.

the kid dies, and pow-jinx gets a haircut because she wants to blue-da-ba-dee-da-ba-DIE. too bad groundhog day junior won't let her.

more war and shit. i'm starting to feel real bad for politics woman (mel), even if she gets to be some sort of wizard now or whatever, which is cool. politics woman gets too much shit in this series.

british cop purple woman almost dies, but the new coworker dies instead because politics woman saves the day! cue blue bitch showing up in a Cool New Uniform™ and raining hell on all these motherfuckers like something out of a bible passage.

viktator science yahweh wants to turn everyone into darth vader, and i think that's hilarious when i type it out. he's already succeeded with himself and werewolf dad. but zac efron stops into and says "nah fuck that". what the actual fuck is going on?

and then everything gets really trippy again. what else is new???

then jayce says "all i want is my partner back." welp, i guess it's confirmed. we've got the second official gay couple in this show! i think. the real form of science man looks really fuckin' aged. like a washed up rockstar or some shit. like mark hamill in the rise of skywalker or something. jesus christ.

everything gets a million times more evangelion than before, which is saying something.

and then blue woman performs a heroic sacrifice for real, which legit made me want to cry.

rest in peace, jinx.

...so yeah, that's the story of live, laugh, lose everything.

i hope you all enjoyed my review, and lemme tell, i DEFINITELY enjoyed writing this. i really enjoyed watching arcane: league of legends, and although i'm quite sad to see it go, there's always the game.

i did NOT expect a netflix show that was based on a fucking fighting game played by basement-dwelling redditors to be this emotionally gripping. and i loved it. I LOVED IT!

if you've made it this far, thanks for reading this. i'm happy you've entertained my insanity. now go outside and get fresh air.

Carlitos: Remember when he yelled at Geri? 😂😂

Riqui: Which time 😂😂

Carlitos: All of them 😂

Ansu: OMG GUYS!!

Ansu: We should ask for his help.

Francisco: To come and make 'us' focus??

Pedri: It doesn't work that way dude.

Ansu: NO! With Geri

JC: I'm listening

Dembz: Are we really going to go ask for help from Carles Puyol?! Ansumane are you nuts!?

Ansu: GOT ANY BETTER IDEAS OUSMANE!?

Riqui: There is not one bright side in this

Ronald: There is.

Ronald: The fact that it's over.

Riqui: Okay one bright side to this. And now we have Juventus next.

Riqui: Without Gerard

Riqui: Which means he will have time...

Riqui: Which means we are screwed.

Ansu: Did he really say that or did I hallucinate it!?

Riqui: They did kiddo

Carlitos: They did kiddo.

JC: Yikes

Francisco: What is the point?

Arnau: What is the point of their existence really

Iñaki: They have so many problems coming their way, the guys say they are taking action against them

Arnau: Well they should have let them finish the season and not just send them off like that.. They deserved to play the play-offs.

Iñaki: Don't remind me.

Arnau: Can the president just issue an arrest warrant against them already?!

Riqui: I wish

Carlitos: THE AUDACITY OF THEM TRYING TO POSTPONE THE REFERENDUM. THE AUDACITY.

Riqui: I hope they end up in Jail. Or like exiled.. whichever can happen quicker..

Ansu: We cannot have one day of peace in this place.

Riqui: How else will the time pass..

Ansu: I rather not have it pass in stress.

Carlitos: Well.. tough.

Riqui: And another one tomorrow.

Riqui: AND FOR WHAT... JUST LEAVE

Sergiño: I am having such a dèjà-vu..

Riqui: About?

Sergiño: Tr*mp..

Riqui: Well.. Kinda.. sorta..

Riqui: Like.. take away the mania and psychopathic behavior and total lack of human empathy and decency... yeah it could be him

Sergiño: I meant the desperate need for him to just leave.

Riqui: Oh well yes that... spot on.

Carlitos: we have to wait more I guess.... But now Juve.

Frenkie: Exactly. Juve.

Buster: I don't want to hear another word unless it's you telling me I've got it wrong and it ain't him Ava: Then that's that Buster: What's wrong with you? Ava: Nothing Ava: I met him at Kings, I like him Buster: Bullshit, you're better than this Ava: Better than what, exactly? Buster: A fucking married dad, Ava Ava: He's getting divorced Buster: So you're someone's dirty little secret and then what, exactly, a surrogate mum? Ava: Of course not Buster: Just 'cause he's never had any drive or ambition and his soon to be ex is cracked, that don't mean you've gotta step in on either Ava: You don't know him anymore Buster: You don't know him, it's been like a month, yeah? Ava: and who do you think I am anyway, captain save a hoe? Buster: You tell me Ava: No, you think you know so well, go on Buster: Jesus Christ Buster: You're proper acting your fucking age Buster: Don't get me started on that Ava: It isn't that big of a gap Buster: Not like when Nance tried to get on her teacher no, but is that what you wanna be measured against now?

Buster: Shut up Ava: Don't tell me to shut up Buster: Fucking hell Ava: Calm down Buster: Don't Ava: If this is the extent of the conversation we're gonna have then yeah, we're both too busy for this Buster: Ava Ava: What? Buster: I'm trying to calm down, alright Ava: Alright Buster: Shit happened back then, I'm not proud of it and I try not to think about it Ava: It's the same for him, and lots of people Ava: I'm sorry if he brings that up for you Buster: Yeah, well that ain't your fault, it ain't even his Buster: I'm sorry Ava: You've reacted as expected Ava: Meaningless death threats aren't nothing compared to mum asking if I'm doing it for attention, soz to you and dad Buster: I just wanna protect you, so does she Ava: Appreciated Buster: She's so shit scared to lose you, any of us, but you know Buster: You especially Ava: Rule number one is don't chase them into the boyfriend's arms, is it not Buster: When has she ever played by any rules but her own?

Buster: Everything is harder with or without that cunt actually around to undermine me Buster: I second guess myself all the time, if I don't love her enough, if I love her too much Buster: I'd die for that kid and I have no idea what I'm even gonna mean to her Ava: Yeah Ava: it's fucked up Buster: Caleb gave everything to Edie and it didn't save her Ava: No Ava: How could they let it happen again Buster: I love Rio more than anything and I still couldn't stop it Ava: It's really messed up Buster: Yeah Ava: Do you think you should give her to her dad Ava: full time Buster: He doesn't want her full time, he barely wants her part time Ava: I just think Ava: that maybe that's because Rio wouldn't give her up Ava: he was going to have her, obviously, that was the plan, when Junior was still around Buster: Plans change and he only wants it his way Ava: okay Ava: do you talk to Caleb? Ava: you should Buster: Yeah 'cause that wouldn't be weird Ava: Act your age Buster: That means not being a selfish cunt, no good is gonna come of me raking over his grief for my own benefit Buster: Oh and while I'm at it, let me slag your daughter off for not listening to me, cheers Ava: He probably would like to talk about it Ava: doubt anyone ever asks him Buster: You talk to him then Buster: Be the best step mum you can be, like Ava: 🙄 Buster: Like you said, everything's fucked Ava: Don't include me in that Buster: You ain't exempt, kid Buster: You wish Ava: Alright, then I'm not and get over it Buster: Act your age Ava: Rich Buster: Yeah, I am Ava: Not yet, boy Buster: Take your jinxes elsewhere Ava: Will do Buster: Good Ava: Can report back now, Judas Buster: Fuck that, I don't do what I'm told either Ava: 😏 Ava: Bullshit, you don't want to admit you failed horribly Buster: Fuck you, that's never happened Ava: Sure, you convinced me Ava: definitely not going to do exactly what I want and planned to Buster: 'Course and 'course not, respectively Ava: But seriously, you can't actually lie to them about this because I won't be Buster: Hilarious, I ain't that cunt and I ain't looking to turn into him today Ava: Well I hope they go back to annoying about whatever they usually do and not me then Ava: you* Buster: Unlikely Ava: Serious question Ava: do you think I should let him talk to them Ava: he offered but is that the worst idea or actually might help Buster: Why not? Buster: He loves you too, yeah? Ava: Yeah Ava: but if dad tries to hit him or something as shaming I swear to God Buster: Mum wouldn't let that happen Buster: She'd kick him out well before he could kick off, she knows every tiny trigger even before he does Ava: Hmm, maybe Ava: you have more faith in her as an impartial ref Ava: but she's not been shouting at you for however long so Buster: 'Cause she don't shout at me, she goes quiet Buster: James can still form a coherent sentence when prompted, can't he? Ava: Well that's unfair Ava: I'll ask her to change her method back Ava: and fuck off Buster: It's a fair question, he was partying really hard last I heard Ava: He went to rehab actually Buster: Leave that out of the introductions and calm down then Ava: Don't tell me to calm down Ava: tah very much Ava: like they just want to meet him Buster: I'm just saying, he offered Buster: If you don't have to do this on your own, why the fuck would you wanna? Ava: You don't get it 'cos your relationship is different Ava: you wouldn't subject someone to this family if you didn't have to Ava: in fact, definitely waiting 'til they've calmed down, I can just imagine the ridiculous things they'd say and nope Buster: Take the support, Ava, Christ's sake Buster: He was married to her, he's handled crazier Ava: Yeah 'cos that's how I want to be Ava: how I wanna treat him Ava: I'm more than capable, thanks Buster: Yeah, really capable of letting someone help you, as evidenced right there, like Ava: I don't need it Buster: Whatever Buster: Maybe he needs to give it Ava: He's mid-divorce, I think he's busy enough Buster: If he loves you, he ain't too busy for you Ava: 🙄 Okay Ava: you can go now Buster: You can think again on trying to tell me what to do Ava: Okay, I'm gonna go then Ava: thank you for your advice etc Buster: Don't ask me what I reckon and then dismiss it Ava: I've taken it on-board Ava: I didn't say I'd do what you said Buster: It'll help show them that you're both serious Buster: They reckon nobody under the age of about 35 has been since they were Ava: Exactly Ava: that's what they don't wanna hear Ava: ever since you shit the bed Ava: they can think it's not serious if they like, fine by me Buster: The sooner they hear whatever the truth is, the sooner they can deal, 'cause they'll have to Ava: I'm not even gonna be here this time next year Ava: they need to deal with that first Buster: You're not a baby, it's all part of the same issue Ava: You need to move here or they need to be there so they can be all over your kids Buster: I've already got a place there and they've got one here Ava: I'm talking permanently, like Ava: or they'll have their own baby or something Buster: No they won't Ava: If Ro can Ava: wonders never cease Buster: Yeah and that was such a good idea Ava: She wouldn't know one if it called itself 0 cals Buster: Like you said, in a year you'll be at uni wherever the fuck you want Ava: I'll suggest knitting and golf then Buster: If you've got a death wish Ava: Can't dampen the mood any harder Buster: Come on Buster: I'll have another kid or something, take the heat off Ava: Tah Ava: no chance Nance will so you have to really Buster: Don't Ava: What? Buster: Imagining her as a mother is such a headfuck Ava: She won't Ava: she's heartbroken rn, apparently Buster: Standard then, yeah? Ava: obviously Ava: standard she managed to get that in to this convo, like Buster: If anyone can Ava: you know Ava: as well as a meaningless offer of a trip out there Buster: And you still told her before me Buster: Fuck you Ava: Got to be faster on the socials Ava: I technically told Grace ages ago if you want to be really upset Buster: What? Ava: Not literally the whole debacle, I'm not mental Ava: just to talk about it, when you last came over Buster: What do you reckon all your friends are gonna say? Ava: I dunno Ava: a mixed bag, no doubt Buster: I can like actually try and talk to mum and dad if you want Ava: If you wanna smash your head against that particular brickwall Ava: you're welcome to try Ava: I don't mind Buster: 'Course that wouldn't actually hurt me so Ava: Thick skull Ava: sure Buster: Yeah Buster: And loads of practice at exactly that pursuit Ava: Cheers then Ava: enjoy the brain damage Buster: Will do

[chronicsyd]

so i have mentioned the whole "Ella Purnell (Jinx's VA) crying doing lines for Jinx" and how a lot of people think it's possibly a Jinx death or something and I previously said I didn't think so, but another thought crossed through my head that's just as traumatic and could possibly (no, Probably) lead to tears:

Vi inevitably choosing Caitlyn over Jinx in S2.

First hear me out, of Course i know that it doesn't Have to be this way; Vi clearly has enough love in her heart to love the two equally. but Jinx and the show choose to show this Vi, Jinx, Caitlyn dynamic as a uhhh... "Unconventional Love Triangle" to put it simply. Sevika puts the thought of "Vi replacing Jinx" early on and because of Jinx's trauma she chooses to believe that this Is true. However, the actions she takes in the show actually has the opposite effect of what she wants, pushing Caitlyn and Vi closer together.

So when it comes to episode 9, Jinx feels that VI is the one who must choose between the two. It's either Jinx, or Caitlyn. And by choosing to not take action at all, Jinx believes that her fears are confirmed and that Vi is choosing Caitlyn over her. now we know that this isn't true because even after Caitlyn frees herself and both the blue girls have each other at gun point, Vi is the one desperately trying to get Caitlyn to Not shoot Jinx, despite the other not seeing what Vi sees. Caitlyn does Not see Powder in Jinx (in fact i don't think she really ever has, but she knows that family is important to Vi which is why she doesn't say anything on the bridge when the two part ways for the first time). But it's Especially why she says to Vi, "She's too far gone".

Unfortunately, with the way that i think things are going in S2, the beginning i think Vi is still going to try to go after Powder, despite us knowing that Powder practically died in episode 9 (I also think that she's also dealing with the guilt that Cassandra's death specifically (because she probably doesn't really care as much about the others but she cares about Caitlyn and Caitlyn losing her mother is going to be Rough) is at Jinx's hands and she still holds Vander's "Whatever happens, it's on you" to heart despite it not being true), meanwhile Caitlyn feels that a solo "Caitlyn V Jinx" mission is going to end up with one of them dead, and she knows that either outcome is going to be terrible for Vi (because as i said before, Caitlyn no longer see's Powder, she see's Jinx and Jinx is a threat). And I think that actions from Both Jinx and Caitlyn are going to Force Vi's hand to Make A Choice.

and i think that come end of S2, she is going to side with Caitlyn.

(Of course i could be Totally wrong with this, but of all things I've said about S2 so far this is actually one of the things I'm sadly, more confident about)

[rosevoid-works]

1) A My Little Pony OC, Crystal Heart - I think. Or if we really wanna go back to first, it'd be my first Poptropica character because I gave her LORE

2) Echo, Scythe, and Star hold top 3

3) Not as far as I remember-? I think one, but I forgot his name and what he looked like.

4) Crystal Heart. We straight up abandoned her.

5) Scythe

6) I don't think any of our OCs that aren't related look alike :'D I'd say probably Star and Kryo, but that's if we're talking about the first version of Star.

7) Most of them are, yes

8) Oh I roleplay as majority of my OCs. A few aren't RP'd as but that's mostly because I'm too shy to roleplay with them and anyone who does RP with them either a)isn't in that fandom b)is new to the fandom(or is leaving the fandom)

9) Mm maybe if any of them were new-new or really old with no sentimental attachments to them. I don't think we'd willingly let someone adopt one of our OCs.

10) I wouldn't? Say? Particularly any of our OCs have a difficult design? I mean, older versions, yes. Though for the most part we try to keep them simple. Unless we mean out of EVERY OC, then probably Jinx.

11) Emi. They're just a ball of positivity, ignorance, and happiness.

12) Literally almost any of Lu's lover's OCs.

13) Jinx, Elsy, Leila, and Emon. They're little bastards/pos

14) Did you mean every OC we have?

15) Yes :D But we don't like bugging people :'D

16) Emily. She plays stupid but she'd probably be good at it :D Or Star(perfect golden child 🙄/pos)

17) Jessica x Hearts, cute little lesbians

18) I mean outside of siblings, anyone could make a good pairing- but something crackship-y? Probably Ignael x Elsy. Sure Elsy's a devil and Ignael's the monarch of the 8th Circle, but at the same time?? They'd never make it, but it'd be somewhat cute-

19) Star. She was my first legit OC. I mean lore, backstory, alternate versions, etc. She was the first OC we used in rps, and was essentially a golden child. Of course, she did have a tragic backstory since angst is our main thing, but she did have ups in her life. Like ruling an empire, being famous, and being fluent in several languages-

20) Star, Emi, and Emily. Star's famous off of it, and for Emi/Emily, it's just a hobby.

Star: (Isabela)

Emily:

Emi:

21) Star and Echo. Echo took up art classes in school and always drew in their free time so they could make a living off of it. Star mostly draws for herself as a hobby to lower stress levels.

22) I've never really seen anyone mischaracterise any of our characters, probably because our characters never make it big :'D

23) Star! She went from being a My Little Pony and Minecraft Diaries character to being a multi-fandom fan character and an actual OC. She's gone through a lot, and hit a Creepypasta phase, but I think she'll rarely be changing now :D

24) Vaion. She's a little wholesome goat that just wants everyone to be happy and will stop at nothing to help those who need it.

25) Echo. While Star was our first proper OC, she was a bit of a Mary Sue and was more of everything we wanted to be(except the dramatic and upsetting backstory); Echo's the one we've projected everything onto. It's either Echo or Kryo. Kryo's a hispanic demi-girl that kind of accidentally fit more into Lunar's life than any other OC.

26) Um not exactly- I wouldn't say any of the changes were made against our will.

27) Our our Elemental Eight characters were. Like; Misty was Little Miss Perfect(Write Out Loud, Taylor Loudman), Misty was Hey Little Girl(sophiemarie.b), and Igneel was Stronger(The Score). Same with Twists & Turns. The entire series was inspired by Greedy(OR3O, Swiblet). Jinx was inspired by Insanity(CircusP) and Discord(The Living Tombstone). Marri was Little Miss Perfect(Write Out Loud, Taylor Loudman) and Surface Pressure(Jessica Darrow). Zayn was I'm Not Okay(My Chemical Romance), Teenagers(My Chemical Romance), and Panic Room(Au/Ra). Molly was Fire Drill(Melanie Martinez) and Blame It on the Kids(AViVA). Ori was President Perfect(Caleb Hyles) and La La La(Naughty Boy). Alix was Doubt(Twenty One Pilots) and Freaks(Jordan Clarke). Jay was Freaks(Timmy Trumpet) and Happy Pills(Weathers).

28) Jinx, Ignael, and Star. Jinx is a wholeass cursed entity, Ignael's a monarch of the 8th Circle of Hell, and Star. Well. She's the leader of an empire.

29) Zayn. He'd do it at 3am, too. He's a genuine dumbass.

30) Ori. Marri would supply him, too-

31) Marri. She'd probably have a cottagecore or pastel goth kind of aesthetic. Her layout would be mostly pink and white. Her own posts consist of selfies with friends, cosplays, sketches, poems she made, and life updates. Her reblogs would be any donation post she sees, art, cosplays, and animal videos.

32) It depends. Do you mean the stupid horror game protag or the smart horror game protag? The stupid protag would be Jay or Alix. The smart protag would be Scythe or Ryder.

33) Sinora, Kryo, and Molly.

34) Leila and Leilan, Dox and Dex, Lizzy and Lyrik, Ying and Yang. Also another but that's spoilers :D

35) That's a chunk of our OCs, but we'll list a few. Una(25), Uno(25), Uni(25), Une(25), Unu(25), Uny(25), Lizzy(18), Lyrik(18). Dox(30), Dex(30), Ira(15). Leila(18), Leilan(18). Mora(N/A), Mallowmelt(N/A). Yin(21), Yang(21). Scythe(18), Ryder(21), Riku(13). May(40), June(35), Lilac(30), Rose(25). Echo(21), Belle(12).

36) Several :D No, I will not elaborate :D

37) ..do you mean 90% of our OCs-

38) Star, Mora, or Rose-

39) oh boy- *clap* @lunas-asks-and-reblogs might remember this one!

Cristy :D I remember literally nothing about her except she's bisexual or pansexual, is/was dating one of Luna's characters(Starri, I think), and is a monster living in Hometown! She's a Delta Rune character. I am spreading her out to be more than a fan character, though :D

She was born to a pretty awful family and she essentially ran away and was accepted by those in Hometown. I am rewriting her entirely, but yeah- :D

40) One of our old friends that we roleplayed with a lot was really associated with Ashlee, Star, Heart, and Karly. So they carry a lot of heavy memories :D I wonder how she's doing..

41) Not that I exactly remember. People have drawn pictures of Lunar, but I'm not too sure anyone's made art of our OCs.

42) Cristy and Ashlee. Ashlee loves mythology and folklore. And Cristy's just really interested in things that don't make too much sense to monsters, like human myths and folklore-

43) We have a habit of having our characters be really tall or really short. Usually they're on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum; I can barely name any OCs that we have that are genuinely cis-het :/ Also freckles. Lots of freckles. We also have a bad habit of making our characters anything EXCEPT human.

44) That they're unique and all from different backgrounds!

45) Crystal Heart, Cristy, Emily, Emon, Heart, and Karly. Of course they're still around and decently relevant, but we don't exactly associate them much anymore.

46) Our friends :'D But they don't have any word in it because they're just as bad, if not, worse (looking at you, luna)

47) A few of Lu's friends. One was Sol.

little shiba demon- even though he's like 16 :D

48) Vaion- no questions- also lizzy-

49) Literally almost all of them-

50) Mmmm- there's a lot to say but i can't think of anything :'D

Some OC questions

[arcane-ish]

I never commented on this because of course it's a tough subject to talk about. TW and a cut for real-life issues (and too many thinky thoughts).

Okay, some personal stories, it's very understandable if you don't want to read.

My sister in law had a similar situation where she went to the hospital for a normal health check very late in the pregnancy and they just told her "nope, no heartbeat". She got into a huge fight with them because their plan was to tell her "yup, it's dead, go home it will come out naturally eventually (implied: just flush it down the toilet)" and she was like "fuck no, you taking it out of me right now, no way am I sitting around at home with a dead baby inside waiting for the inevitable and yes I want to be fully knocked out for it".

I remember telling my mom that story and my mom was like "Whut, why she gotta be such a drama queen, it's like normal that the first pregnancy/pregnancies go wrong, miscarriages are not such a big deal, everybody has them, ah, those silly young people". And my main thought was: why does nobody tell you these things? If it really is that common it seems like something women/society should like talk about? It should be normalized to talk about it?

So I guess what I mean is that I think that's a valuable and legit thing that you write about it. Even if it might not be fun or necessarily what people want to read about.

Anyway, back to the fic. So super tragic and heartbreaking. Plus it seems somewhat likely that Vander would probably not particularly appreciate the whole "I kept it from you to protect you and our cause".

Again I don't know whether I've talked about but to me this idea that Vander and Silco would have a history of failed pregnancy attempts between them feels a like thing that really makes sense for that relationship. Like I borderline read canon Arcane as you can sort of see it as "Vander and Silco were partner in revolution, but then Vander imprinted hard on Vi and Powder on the bridge and that broke them apart because in essence Vander wants kids and wants to change his life around them and Silco doesn't and that's why they fall apart and Silco resents Vander for choosing family/peace over the revolution and then the irony is that once Vander is dead he takes over from Vander in a way and turns out that he's actually a good father and he actually likes being a father and then near the end he begins to understand Vander, basically too late eradicating the need for the original conflict" (I know there is some different opinions on this in fandom but one of the writers in a twitter Q&A claimed that Vander and Silco's falling out did happen after Vander picked up Vi and Powder that day on the bridge, so I feel fond of my "they fell out because Silco didn't want kids/wasn't read for kids but in the end his feelings on the subject matter have changed due to Jinx"). So this concept of a conflict over kids/having or not having kids feeding into their falling out fits right into my head canon.

I don't know what your experiences were, but my sister in law is a really tough person and after it happened, she had a day or two where she was like crying constantly and at the drop of a hat when she is normally very controlled. She said it was because before you are "high" on the pregnancy hormones and for the thing that those hormones are for to be gone and for the production of the hormones to be stopped felt like her body was going through hormone withdrawal. I don't now how frequent that it (IMO it kind of sounded a bit like how some people describe post partum)?

It was an interesting thought to me to imagine somebody like Silco who is all about control and harshness and pretending he doesn't care were to go through something like that. Where he insists he doesn't care, but he can't stop his body from crying and suffering because it's just a physical reaction, regardless of what his mind wants (chances is that he would try to weather through that alone as well).

Sidenote: you mentioned that one of your other fics had already covered going through a heat alone so I checked back with your ao3 to re-read it and can I just say that it seems just insane to me that your jayvic has 137 kudos and not a single comment?

So my brain refused to let me sleep last night until I wrote this. Because apparently we are just using Arcane to process second-hand pregnancy trauma.

Pairings: Vander/Silco

Warnings: omegaverse, mpreg, miscarriage/stillbirth
