Arcane's Music Videos and Storytelling

Many have complained about Arcane Season 2 overusing "music videos" compared to Season 1 and I agree. Two in particular - "Sucker" in episode 2 and "Hellfire" in episode 3 - are particularly bothersome because instead of being supplementary to the storytelling, they replace the storytelling. Entire plotlines are told through these music videos and barely expanded upon further through writing. Despite both depicting very major events that are incredibly impactful for both Zaun and the characters involved.

First, the Chembarons' gang war. Shown entirely through the "Sucker" sequence, dialogueless. Later, there are only a few brief written scenes related to it (Smeech heading to Margot and the meeting table discussion, neither of which actually depict the war). Smeech is later killed and the gang war story is abandoned by episode 3. This would have been such a major event for Zaunites. Not just for major characters, but for everyone who has the misfortune to live in that city. If they had actually written this subplot out, the worldbuilding could have been expanded upon and given much more depth, these Chembarons with excellent designs could have been fleshed out and not felt like a waste of characters, and we would have gotten more insight into the lives of the average joes in Zaun. It would have been a natural continuation of the Chembarons' introduction in Season 1 too. This subplot could have easily taken up the entirety of Act 1, but because of too many competing subplots, it had to be cut short and summarized by the song.

Next, Caitlyn's squad releasing The Grey into Zaun. Shown entirely through the "Hellfire" sequence, also dialogueless. The impact of this action is only briefly mentioned later through dialogue, when really this would have had a huge effect on many people living in Zaun. If they had written this entire sequence out regularly, we could have had character building for the three new enforcers as they interact with Vi and Cait while moving through Zaun. We need this, as two of them don't even have names yet. One doesn't have any dialogue yet. We could have seen in detail the impact of their actions on Zaun, rather than only being told. We could have had much needed characterization for Vi. What was her reaction to this plan when it was first conceived? Did she oppose it initially and have to be convinced?

Edit: The "Hellfire" sequence also covered all the Chembarons getting wiped out and Shimmer being dismantled.

I want to experience these events as a story, not as an AMV. It's admirable how artistic and beautifully made these sequences are, but they are the epitome of "style over substance." In my opinion, rather than being at the beginning of the episodes, these sequences could have worked as end credits. They are summaries of subplots after all. The episodes themselves could have these storylines written out regularly, and then the end credits have beautiful imagery summarizing what happened.

They could have taken a page out of Chainsaw Man's book. Each episode of Chainsaw Man had a highly stylized end credits sequence, all with different animation styles, with imagery of that particular episode's plot. The episodes themselves have normal written storytelling. This way you can flex your artistry as much as you want, without sacrificing the writing. Arcane's end credits are just a black screen with text. If anything could have been replaced with stylized visuals and have nothing of value lost, it was that.

would you like to talk about what you made for wayne’s nosferatu stream?

Aside from the "we all pitched in ideas" stuff that we tend to do, I did the voice-overs for the Nosferatu hunters quiz menu.

There was another idea we had that I was going to be part of, but it got left on the cutting room floor for a couple reasons. Maybe I'll talk about it some day. It was really fucking funny.

Commissions + Work? ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

Hello hello! ⋆˙⟡

My family's financial situation (and my own) isn't all that peachy, so I thought it a good idea to open commissions again!

I'll give you guys some examples :D

You're familiar with my portraits already since it's what I most like to draw:

Full Illustrations? I got em!

If you want a cartoonish, more chibi style, that can be done too!!

I can give you a helping hand with character design too, if you wish!

I am also available for doing visual novel character sprites and art! I'm working on my own VN at the moment so the style of the examples is very much my own (semi-realistic), but I can work in a variety of styles as exemplified by my simpler designs and chibi-esque illustrations ⋆˙⟡

All my prices are on my ko-fi commissions listing, through which you'll be able to order whatever you like!

If you want any specific things to be added, the price can be talked about with me, of course, and you'll be able to pay the agreed upon amount simply by donating ⋆˙⟡

You don't have to adhere to the listings either if you want something more specific, like a sketch, or a black and white illustration/drawing.

Here's the link <3 Happy arting!

OH YEAH! I DO VOICES!

I totally forgot to post this here!

Since this blog is meant to eventually replace my terrible addiction to the hellsite formally known as twitter, here's my obligatory showreel post!

My contact details are in the description but you can also DM me if that's more comfortable. I can bring a range of scrungly voices at flexible rates to whatever project you're doing! I can also do voice work editing/mastering (Which is most of what I do for alfa these days). Need someone to clean your VA up? I'm your guy!
