Every time I see a "they clearly needed more seasons, they didn't have time to tell the full story properly" I lose 10 years of my life and 5 particles of my sanity. Why in the world would they need additional seasons to tell a full story, when in season 1 they were perfectly capable of it with the same 9 episodes? In season 1 they didn't waste our time at all, every scene was meaningful, every line of dialog said something important to us or set up something for later. The way the story was structured showed us that the writers understood their limitations and decided to use every single second they had properly. Also said limitations allowed them to focus on one specific overarching conflict (Piltover vs Zaun) and one specific set of characters, each of whom were directly involved in said conflict. No other distractions or side plots that go nowhere.

And there's season 2. Suddenly the writers decided that dialogs are for losers, actually, and it's better to replace characters reacting to major world-changing events (like Silco's death for example) with music videos. Weird choice, but okay. Oh, a bunch of new characters that serve no practical role in the narrative and distract actually important characters from interacting with each other? Give me 10. Also add a bunch of side storylines that go nowhere and serve no purpose to the main conflict- *the phone rings**picks up* what do you mean the main conflict changed? It's not about Zaun and Piltover anymore? What do you mean this conflict is left unresolved and is forgotten about completely in act3? Then what on earth do they focus on instead??? What, arcane? Meaning like. What? The magic subplot that was only a small part of season 1? And why would it matter more? Ah, marvel fights. Uh-huh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, sure. I get it, thank you *hangs up*. Well, that was a disaster. The decision to change your MAIN CONFLICT in the middle of the story is probably one of the worst ones you could ever make, and then yeah, no wonder they didn't have time to tell the full story. Because they don't know what the hell the story is about anymore. Therefore they can't use the resources at hand effectively and every wrong decision they make going forward is going to make everything even worse. And from what we see they made plenty of wrong decisions. Remember what I said about not wasting our time? Well forget it, because you NEED to see this joke play out in full, even though it's not funny in the slightest and doesn't tell us anything significant about the characters or the world. Also there's flashbacks that also don't contribute anything substantial to existing character stories, and even actively make them worse and inconsistent (ily Felicia🫶🫶🫶). And then there's the entirety of ep7 which is an abysmal abomination in and of itself. Not only does it waste our time with an alternative universe that has nothing to do with the canon conflict and characters in the first place, but it actively pretends that it does matter, actually. Which is detrimental to the whole story going forward. Because now instead of on-screen character interactions and actual resolving of existing conflicts within the story we're just told. To imagine it ourselves. Because the au somehow implied what was going to happen between completely different characters. Somehow. Alright.

So, I hope the reasons I listed above more or less explained why arcane, in fact, did NOT require more seasons to tell its story in full. What it did require was more tight writing, focusing on the conflict we had initially, flashing out the existing dynamics between characters and introducing the characters who didn't interact previously to each other (for example: Jinx and Jayce), thought through dialogs which focused on giving us important information first and foremost, less music videos and more actual scenes with dialogs and characters reacting to the world around them properly, subplots that actually mattered to the main conflict etc. Like, it really is THAT basic. If the story is badly written more runtime isn't going to fix anything, it could even make it worse, because more time = more chances to screw up even more stuff. Only good writing can fix bad writing, and that's an unfortunate truth we have to come to terms with. No amount of pretty visuals or microexpressions or character/prop design is going to change what is ruined at its core.

About/"Rules"/FAQ

Vote for whoever YOU think is hottest, using whatever criteria is meaningful to you.

Undecided? Find propaganda here!

There is a men's bracket and a women's bracket. The winner from each will face off against the other to compete for THE hottest character in Arcane.

Propaganda is fun, propaganda is encouraged. Submit or reblog with propaganda, I will post it here, idk unless the vibes are off or something.

How I run this blog is at my own discretion. I am doing this for kicks, so I want to see passion, I want to see drama, but remember that the first rule is: HAVE FUN! Is it possible to go too far and make this not fun for me? APPARENTLY IT IS. I have blocked people for being mean and/or insulting in the reblogs. This is about hot cartoon characters. It is not serious. If you cannot have fun, go somewhere else.

If you want me to reblog your propaganda, I'd prefer if you reblog it under the original post, not under a reblog that already has propaganda. I want to avoid repeating propaganda or reblogging long threads. (and again, don't be mean. if it's not something I want to look at, I'm not going to reblog it)

I am not neutral in this. I won't do anything to skew the results because I want my faves to win fair and square, but I will make my opinion known if and when I think it's funny to do so.

If you have questions about anything not covered here, ask away and I'll add a FAQ to this post.

FAQ

I don't like the picture you've chosen for ___. Can you change it?

If you (1) submit a new screencap (2) give a convincing reason why your screencap is better, I just might change the picture!

Ekko is too young to be in here.

I've seen this pop up in the tags a couple of times. I looked it up on the wiki, he's 20 after the time skip. I'm including this in my FAQs because I'm getting the impression there's a few people out there not voting for Ekko solely because they've imagined that he's a minor.

I also looked up Jinx, btw, she's 18.

AMAZING is went with my sister and her friend (since then I found out one of my friends also loves her music). It was THE BEST.

i’ve actually never made a playlist for a shop before but I can try-

wait that’s so them tho, being like “WE CANT LAST” through their relationship for like two years. I shall read that ficccc!

omg u rlly don’t like a breakup fic 😭 sure let’s say they don’t stay in touch MUCH cause they’re heartbroken at first but they’re still bffs with each others mothers (who find out they’re gonna end up teaching at the same skl and agree to keep it quiet)

Max five years??? That’s not long enough for them to be fully over one and another (so they can fall in love with the new versions of each other). Six-seven years? Say they broke up at 24 and now they’re 30?

OMG I LOVE THAT sirius would be an iconic headteacher ngl… what if sirius was the deputy head (and gender fluid I love that headcanon) and Minnie was the head? Strict and Silly vibes. And then Minnie hired Remus so he did get the job of his own volition.

Yes the trial period is perfect. Omg u rlly want james and remus to still be friends in this 😭 I want them to be dramatically thrust back into each others lives. Remus is busy and he tries so absolutely hard not to but he trips and falls in love with james just as easily as the first time. And James? There was NO hope, poor boy talked to beautiful Remus again in person for the first time in six (?) years and was immediately right back there. Remus was different but the same. And James didn’t stand a chance.

Ooooh thats cute, it depends on the length of this fic I guess, if it’s a long on then i’d make the kids stories more details but if it’s shorter i’d just focus on moonchaser. but yeah i’d def have draco and the others. Probably harry cause, duh I love him and james. maybe even teddy (not as a student, younger). But I was originally thinking the reason they broke up was because remus got nis dream job of helping kids w/ special needs but james already had a job on the other side of England helping recovering youths and neither of them could give (or let the other) but they knew theyd be SO BUSY so they agreed. If it's meant to be theyll see each other again. (Also maybe remus does recognise james' childhood friend and sirius recognises him but sirius pretends james doesnt work there or something).

‘don’t give too much trouble to the new mr Lupin, his ex is doing enough of that for him–‘ THIS IS THE BEST. FULLY YES. Absolutely a Sirius move.

SEE YES i fully see them as history and geography, plus those two classes are realistically next to each other (i’m picturing this at my skl so I can lay it all out perfectly).

TWO- i agree with that. I see james getting excited with a prank idea name accidentally making it cruel and then remus editing it to make it funny.

i headcanon remus as rlly competitive if he’s playing with friends. only if he lets himself get into but if he does he gets RLLY into it (not a sore loser or anything just intense). And james is mega competitive, and was not taught how to lose.

EXACTLY it��d be such a cute story for a wedding one day.

(for either/both fic james is gonna be a MESS. remus is gonna be cute and a little clumsy but at heart a genius who loves it mess with ppl and james is gonna be a confident loving idiot who looks at remus’ smile and falls over his own two feet. blushing a lot. it’s giving viktor and jayce from arcane. u don’t know what that means but it’s true).

as long as u ABSORB the compliments then u don’t have to thank me for them :)
