FINALLY SOME GOOD FUCKING FOOD

Maddie gaylord

[looseinthecatroom]

Media literacy is dead ect. And not to give credit where it isn't particularly due; people ARE always up in arms about stories containing stakes, and relationships having a narrative arc, to an exhausting degree, honestly; but I did just remember that not everyone's seen the progress of the CaitVi train rolling on since back in 2013, and so hasn't had over a decade of "Caitlyn the Sheriff of Piltover", or Vi: "Come on, resist arrest already!" or Zeri: "A gun and a badge don't make you a hero, Caitlyn".

Going into the show knowing full well Cait is/would become a capital C Cop, (even if LoL itself at least started with a very unseriousness approach to her. I mean, cupcake bear traps and a top hat ffs), hits different. To folk who've never know the lore, she's a mid level privileged 20 something who's arc could have been about turning it around and learning from the point on the slippery slope shes on now. To folk who've known her and Vi for a decade, she's the Jinx obsessed Sheriff, and I'm just happy that in a setting and genre like Arcane, they're letting her and Vi's story pass through levels of fucked up and tragic that were always right under the surface if you wanted to think about it seriously.

They get that she's fucked up and they're going places with it. Which is both what I expected after season 1, and also the best possible outcome. (Also, as an aside? They're handling Vi's resentment towards being an enforcer, but still becoming one, better then I'd ever hoped they would, given the source material. Color me satisfied with that one so far.)

So, your opinions on Arcane's finale?

Mixed. Strongly mixed. I adore a lot of what was given to us. I also feel like you could FEEL how much they had to cut out, leaving a ton of unsatisfactory plot lines and things that felt unresolved. Where the fuck did Jayce and Viktor go? Why was Ekko basically forgotten about except for his one little paper burning moment? They wrote Jinx going from 100 to 0 way too quickly imo, and the descent into suicidal depression just felt kind of out of left field.

Mel gave off huge creator's pet/sue vibes. Everything that happened to her happened in a bubble and then she just- pops back to reality, badass and super charged and she's a mage now??? But no one is even a LITTLE concerned about that??? There was zero (0) reason for Jinx to be written off/die. It felt like emotional manipulation of the viewer or that they thought if they didn't kill her off we wouldn't be satisfied. And yeah, I'm gonna say it- I don't think any of the LoL/LoR protagonists should have been killed off. It felt like it was purely for shock value. ZOMG, THEY KILLED WARWICK/JINX!!!!!! Hell, the entire kick-off of Viktor's villain arc felt forced and absurd; Jayce, without even trying anything else, just fucking kills Viktor? (Or tries to?) Sacrifices dozens of not hundreds of lives? Yes, I get he's kinda nuts at the moment but like- it felt very out of character.

I think my biggest complaint is that it feels like mid-way through they decided to give us a different show entirely then the one Season 1 set us up for. We went into a show about people, about their relationships with each other and mistakes, their losses and loves, and we ended on a show with a Gainex save-the-world ending where, honestly, very few of their actions or sacrifices mattered at all and everyone just kind of- lost the people they love for what felt like very preventable reasons. I'm also mad as hell that Vi's trauma was largely still unaddressed. They even had a Goddamn ptsd/bookends moment with her locked in fucking Stillwater and the most we got was a wall punch. ALL THAT SAID!!!!!! I did like and appreciate a lot of this season. Heimerdinger and Ekko and their little side-quest broke my heart. The 'Vi's death brings about a better world for everyone she loves' was just soul crushing, even moreso when you realize she would have happily accepted that if she knew. The shipper in me is THRILLED at all my 'yes's', even the ones that hurt, like Jayvik. The CaitVi payoff was fantastic. I loved watching Maddie get a fucking bullet to the dome. Served the bitch right. The fights, as ever, were fantastic. The music was fantastic. The animation was beautiful. There was a TON to love about this season, and overall BOTH seasons' strength far and away out stripped the flaws. If I went into everything I loved about the season, this would get even longer then it already is, so I'm gonna cut it here. But overall? 8.5/10 season, I'm not thrilled but it was good food overall.

SHIPPING INFO // ANSWER THE FOLLOWING FOR YOUR MUSE SO PEOPLE KNOW HOW SHIPPING WORKS ON YOUR BLOG.

WHAT IS YOUR OTP FOR YOUR CHARACTER?

When it comes to having an OTP for Kai’sa, I’m more biased when it comes to the KDA verse, especially with Kaikali (I still love shipping polycule though). That’s where my interest in League really started.

HOW LARGE DOES THE AGE GAP HAVE TO BE TO MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE?

It really depends on which verse I’m shipping her with others since they’re all different and her age fluctuates, like she’s canonically at least twenty-years old whereabouts she’s at least in her mid-twenties in the KDA verse and a teenager in Star Guardian which, I should remind you, I’m not shipping her with any adult characters in that verse.

Generally, it really depends on the character especially if I'm going to take immortal beings to account because there are plenty of them running around in league, including characters that ages differently; it all depends if there's chemistry because that's always the key to a good ship. And this should be an obvious, but I'm not going to romantically ship Kai'sa with minors and immortal characters that acts and/or looks like a child.

HOW FAR DO STEAMY MOMENTS HAVE TO GO BEFORE THEY ARE CONSIDERED NSFW?

Obviously, when things goes beyond kissing and light touches and clothes are starting to come off, though, I don’t do NSFW RP much anymore, but I’m all right with it when it comes to answering suggestive asks sent by mutuals. If I were to ever go back to writing NSFW content with my partner, it’ll be thrown under “read more” or continue on Discord. Or fade-to-black.

ARE YOU SELECTIVE WHEN SHIPPING?

For Kai'sa, yes, she isn't going to be an easy character to ship with especially with how isolated she had been over the years and tends to avoid others. She's not going to jump at anyone at any given moment nor is romance the focus on this blog, but ships that aren't romantic? I'm all for it too, but the saying is the same.

WHO ARE OTHER CHARACTERS YOU SHIP YOUR CHARACTER WITH?

Outside of the Kaikali and the KDA verse, well, I think Kai’sa and Sivir is cute. And Kai’sa with Taliyah. And Samira thanks to that one artist.

DOES ONE HAVE TO ASK TO SHIP WITH YOU?

Normally, yes. While shipping can occur naturally when chemistry between two characters clicks, it's not always going to be the same for the next ship. It's better to ask than to assume.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE SHIP IN YOUR CURRENT FANDOM?

I’m still part of the Avatar fandom and it’s my main fandom, but I really like Baatar and Kuvira and Korra and Kuvira and—basically, Kuvira with everyone because she got two hands, two legs, two cheeks, and a mole.

But ships within League outside of Kai'sa? I like Ahrilynn, immortal girlfriends? Yes, please. I also like CaitVi too. Admittedly, there aren't many ships within League that I'm interested in.

FINALLY, HOW DOES ONE SHIP WITH YOU?

Like I said before, ask me. Even if there isn't chemistry between our characters, but you still want to explore the dynamics between them, I'll be happy to discuss it further. I'm honestly pretty chill when it comes to shipping, and I should add that I'm all right with crossover and oc ships too.

[practically-an-x-man]

Vi (arcane), Warren Worthington III, Padme Amidala, and Yelena Belova for the niche questions?

Thank you!!

Niche Questions (Character Asks)

Vi:

A song that reminds me of them: No Chances by Twenty One Pilots (Feet planted on grip tape With my shoulders square and my back straight Go a good base and a loose tongue Notorious in the octagon, now) What they smell like: Probably doesn't smell fantastic, given she's from the undercity and doesn't have the most consistent hygiene. Sweat, dirt, sometimes like metal or machinery (especially when she's done a lot of work with her gauntlets) An OTP: Caitvi for the win!! A NOTP: Anything that sets her up with a man tbh Favorite platonic/familial relationship: Vander acting as her father figure... makes my heart hurt A popular headcanon I disagree with: Honestly I'm not sure what the popular headcanons are for her... The position they sleep in: Changes around, since she's usually sore or injured and has to find a position that doesn't hurt too badly A crossover AU I'd love to see them in: Hm... again, sorry for the null answer, but I really don't know. I don't think about crossovers much Favorite outfit they've ever worn: She kinda only wears the one... but it is a killer fit, I must say. I love her little jacket

____

Warren:

A song that reminds me of them: Archangel by Amaranthe (for obvious reasons) What they smell like: Depends on which version of Warren we're talking about. He could be pomade and expensive cologne, he could be cheap booze and blood, he could be leather and that steely wet-metal smell... there are options lol. An OTP: Canon-wise, him and Psylocke. But obviously I'm going to pick my own OC if that's an option lol. A NOTP: Hm... him and Scott. Not like it gives me the ick or anything, it's just really not my thing. Favorite platonic/familial relationship: I just like the whole "X-Men as found family" dynamic, so I'm going with him and the rest of the original team. A popular headcanon I disagree with: Not one specifically, but I see a lot of people trying to up his powers after he becomes the Horseman of Death, or even just in general, and... no thank you. Part of his character is that he has a very limited power set, where he's outcast from humans but isn't as powerful as his teammates and so is always occupying this slightly "othered" space, so I don't agree with the headcanons that try and add significantly to his power set. The position they sleep in: Stomach sleeper, with his wings spread out to either side. He keeps them folded back/cooped up all day, it feels good to stretch out once he's in bed. A crossover AU I'd love to see them in: Technically it already happened, but... I do love him in Marvel 1602, and the whole idea of placing heroes from different Marvel properties into a historical context. Favorite outfit they've ever worn: I love the red-and-white suit and its variations (like in X-Men Blue with the red-and-white suit and his cosmic wings), and his black-and-silver Archangel suit with the metal wings.

____

Padme:

In all honesty I don't know enough/have strong enough opinions about her to answer these... sorry.

____

Yelena:

A song that reminds me of them: I'm Not An Angel by Halestorm What they smell like: Something pointedly nondescript, a standard mid-range women's perfume meant to help her blend in. An OTP: Bit fan of the Yelena/Kate Bishop ship tbh A NOTP: A lot like I said for Vi... anything that places her with a man, I do not see her being straight lol Favorite platonic/familial relationship: How could I say anything other than her and Nat?? A popular headcanon I disagree with: I've seen a lot of people on tumblr headcanoning her with this whole "is standoffish at first but would be emotionally vulnerable with her S/O" and I know that's just tumblr being tumblr but like... no? Maybe she'd try to be more open with someone she trusts, but she's still fairly closed-off and that wouldn't just magically change by putting her in a romantic relationship. The position they sleep in: On her side, always facing the door, usually with a weapon within arm's reach and a getaway bag tucked under the bed. She's used to making quick escapes. A crossover AU I'd love to see them in: I could see her meeting the Robins in a DC crossover, that could be cool Favorite outfit they've ever worn: I love her more casual outfits, like in Hawkeye when she appears in Kate's apartment the first time
