i just think it is sooo interesting that the scene where loki is standing in between mobius and sylvie and then he goes after sylvie is clearly trying to make us think he chose her, but then we get to the actual conversation they have and it is so obvious that he chose mobius.

like idk i just think that scene was so purposeful…

[echo-of-the-eye]

Can’t stop thinking about Viktor and Jon parallels cause I have tma brainrot and anytime I see anything even remotely similar I go “is that a magnus reference?”

Anyways thinking about the differences in the choices they did and did not make and how both of them came back from the dead and were involved in ending the world.

I talked a bit about it before but Jon chooses to come back to life and become a monster. Granted it wasn’t a fair choice but he did choose it. Meanwhile the end of the world was not his choice. As much as he thinks otherwise it was not his fault. He didn’t “accidentally” start the apocalypse, he wasn’t “manipulated into it” he straight up did not end the world. Jonah did. Using Jon. Yes he was manipulated to prepare for the ritual (still not his fault), but actually ending the world? Jonah did that. He straight up took control of his body. Jon was the tool. The key to open the door. Jonah shaped the key and turned it.

Viktor is the opposite. He did not choose to come back to life. In fact he had basically accepted his death and was actively suicidal. Jayce brought him back (and I don’t really blame him for that. He didn’t know the consequences and he was trying to save the man he loved). Viktor did however, almost end the world (and succeeded in some timelines? I’m confused). Now it’s hard to say how much of that was Viktor. He was heavily influenced by the arcane, but Jon was also heavily influenced by the Eye (not that you can really compare them). We don’t know how sentient the arcane is but we can guess that its main goal/instinct is to spread. If it worked through Viktor or if it was simply influenced him, altering his thoughts and feelings to more easily rationalize what he was doing. Either way Viktor would not have done what he did without the arcane. But he did do it. The arcane isn’t a person. You can’t really put all the blame there. And we did see that Viktor was still in there, deep down, enough that he could change his mind. Meaning that to a certain degree, he did choose it. Viktor’s actions were his own, even if they were influenced. He’s the most responsible for what happened. Jayce also carries some responsibility for bringing Viktor back in the first place and creating hextech alongside Viktor, but again, he did not know the consequences of that. Neither did Viktor at first. So how much are they to blame?

I just find it fascinating how such similar events (even if they are still vastly different) happen in two completely different series and how the characters had different levels of agency throughout it.

I don't think Jayce and Viktor literally died. They were kind of pulled into another dimension/astral plane/whatever you call it. We see older Viktor, and while it could be another Viktor, I think it would be more meaningful if it was our Viktor, finally free from the arcane, going through the universe with Jayce, fixing timelines together. Kind of like a cosmic mission.

A thought or two about our current Fandom discussion

*spoilers under the cut*

I have been a Tech lives believer since about an hour after I saw him fall. I also very strongly believe that Tech is CX-2 (I am aware of what Jennifer Corbett said today about CX-2 being a new character, but Tech being presented as CX-2 can be considered as a new character)

I've seen people say they don't want him to be Tech because they don't want to see Tech like that. Totally valid. Not everyone wants to bathe in angst like I do.

But I believe that Tech being CX-2 is going to create the most compelling story and create the most conflict.

I could go on about the reasons, and maybe I will one day. But I want to share the most devastating one that came to me today.

If Tech is CX-2, that means Echo left his brother behind, left for dead, to be tortured and used against their brothers.

Just like he was.

I literally just finished Act 2 but

VIKTOR AND JINX ON THE SAME SCREEN THEY INTERACTED THEY DID IT

"Ask for a miracle healer, get a metal fortune cookie." "*cough* Cookie."

"However, I have one condition."

"Looks like you've got a couple."

"You have much to offer this commune, Powder."

"Your talents can be used to build, instead of destroy."

"I'll... stick with what I know, thanks."

AND THE CROWD GOES WILD!!!!

THAT'S 4 TICKS OFF THE WISHLIST BABY

im already seeing people saying caitlyn isnt overreacting by committing war crimes bc her mom is dead. god is testing me specifically

[herefortheships]

The lack of confirmation of Nobara's status leads me to believe Gege has something planned for her as the end of the Everyone vs Sukuna battle Aka the "Decisive Battle" draws to an end. This situation totally reminds me of the "Enchain" plot thread. It felt for a long stretch of the manga like Gege had even forgotten about the Enchain binding vow.

Except he hadn't.

The hush-hush around Nobara might be due to a similar situation. It might mean that she will be a key player to defeat Sukuna. OR she might be part of the conclusion of the story in a different way like bringing a ray of sunshine and hope to the fandom with just the confirmation of her survival, after Gege breaks our hearts one last time before the manga's end lol.

I’m dealing with a lot of emotional shit rn so I’m watching Dead End on repeat because it’s my comfort show, and part of what I love is that I get to experience a lot of what I want out of my life being queer by watching this spooky show. I get to watch Barney, a fat trans Jew, find love and be happy being both queer and Jewish. I get to see Norma come out and see her mom accept her and the way she came out: in the middle of this really hectic, life/death situation they’re in because that’s very Norma™. I wish my parents were more accepting and I wish I felt safe expressing myself more masculine at home and I wish my queer identity and my Jewish identity intersected more often but in the meantime, I can at least binge-watch Dead End on repeat to get that comfort and euphoria that I can’t get in other places right now

[0vergrowngraveyard]

How are you doing after watching the Arcane finale?

i need to punch i need to maim i need to scream and cry

[stan-joe]

hey link click fans just to make your day worse I'm pretty sure the entire last few episodes happened on lu guang's birthday

[brutal-out-here]

Idk about y’all but the line of pink leading to the air ducts Caitlyn is later shown looking at plus the airship scene plus the “the end” thing being as if Jinx wrote it leads me to believe she’s alive

[technicalthinker]

if i had a nickel for everytime they released the season premiere for sonic prime early on youtube and had it full of sonic and shadow moments, I'd have two nickels

which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

[anartistinahat]

What if they had human desguises or were humans?

Time for me to point out detail no one will notice or cares about

courtney, she/they

-i gave her a snake tongue since they have one and i thought itd be cool

-I gave her a gap between her canine teeth and all of her front teeths cuz i thought itd be a nice replacement for the two point teeth

-the spike piercings on her ear are a reference to her tiny horns, and the piercing on the nose is a reference to her tail

-the jacket is the same jacket she wears on the comic

-her bracelets are a replacement/reference of her shackles

-the hoop earrings are meaning to something (halo)

-yes. I gave em a non-binary pin(i thought it'd go well with her outfit)

pugsley, he/him

-i really didnt wanna make him too similar to the comic and i accidently went ALL THE WAY TO THE OTHER SIDE

-i gave him vitiligo cuz i thought itd be kinda cool cuz of those darker spots he has

-i gave him green eyes cuz he has green eyes in the comic(or at least in the cover)

-i gave him some bruises cuz i think if he was human he most likely would be just as hyperactive as a dog

-the bite mark is cuz i thought itd be a cool way to translate a dog's bite into everything, thats also why his finger is patched, he bites on it too much

-hes also supposed to be a kid(tho i dont think i made him look like it)

-i kinda wanted to make him look like the guttman family but as i kept getting ideas i accidently made him TOO far from the family and now he's actually adopted

-(funny moment: as i drew him i thought "huh, i think he'd be autistic if he was a human" but i think ADHD fits a bit better)

fingers, he/they

-i thought making him white would be PAINFULLY OBVIOUS so i made him a darker skin

-i didnt add the blush cuz i thought it looked weird

-i decided to make the eyes tatto into a suit pin(but its definitly tattoed somewhere)

-(Not much to say he was actually pretty easy, tho i wanted to make him older but i dont think it looks like it)

(small hc time, i think its cool that all paranormal creatures uses they/them with/without any other pronouns like he/she/it etc)
