while I will probably vote Biden in November, let's not pretend like he's actively helping any of these causes. Like obviously Trump will be actively hindering these things, but Biden isn't actually doing anything to protect trans people or abortion access or our healthcare or any of that. like I understand that our system is broken and this is are only options but when advocating and trying to convince people to vote Biden after everything he's don't at least be like. honest and realistic of what we're voting for? like you're not voting for someone who cares about and wants to protect abortion access, you're not voting for someone who supports DEI work. you're voting for "Not Trump"
Biden isn't going to save you. Biden isn't going to do anything. He's going to fence-sit on issues he "supports" and turn a blind eye to the people trying to take away your rights. but that's still better than the person actively trying to take away your rights.
the choices are the person leaving you to drown and the person actively pushing your head underwater
Look.
Tumblr media
I have made you a chart. A very simple chart.
People say "You have to draw the line somewhere, and Biden has crossed it-" and my response is "Trump has crossed way more lines than Biden".
These categories are based off of actual policy enacted by both of these men while they were in office.
If the ONLY LINE YOU CARE ABOUT is line 12, you have an incredible amount of privilege, AND YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT PALESTINIANS. You obviously have nothing to fear from a Trump presidency, and you do not give a fuck if a ceasefire actually occurs. You are obviously fine if your queer, disabled, and marginalized loved ones are hurt. You clearly don't care about the status of American democracy, which Trump has openly stated he plans to destroy on day 1 he is in office.

Wall-artist2 posted a poll and it inspired me to make a longer post about it. Its a long post. And I love the heros journey. I'm so sorry if it sounds arrogant- this is my interpretation of the game and how it applies the heros journey in the context of the poll
Mouthwashing is told from Jimmy and Curly's perspective.
A protagonist is defined as the main character. They are the driving force of the plot and the reason why this story is being told. This would mean that Jimmy and Curly are the protagonists.
Now, what are their goals?
Jimmys goal is to evade responsibility. To protect his peace. To do what he wants with little consequence to himself.
Curly's goal is plainly stated in the game, "I want to make my life one im not trying to fucking run from all the time."
The force that hinders the protagonists is considered the antagonist. The opposition, the one that gets in the way.
Because of this, I feel I can very plainly say that Anya is the antagonist in Jimmys story.
This is NOT to say she is the bad guy, this is to say that she is the one who hinders Jimmy through his story. She is the true outside conflict of the protagonist. She is the one that makes him stop in his tracks, makes him face his actions. If even he doesn't recognize it and actively ignores it, she is the one who annoys and fucks with his plans the most.
For Curly, I'd say that Jimmy (and maybe Pony Express) is the antagonist. He's in the process of foreging his life out of the hellfires of Capitalism. Of course, this is a struggle caused by PE, but Jimmy is the one who ends up physically stopping him from his goal (I.E completely disabling him). He cannot create a life when he's stuck in space and entirely reliant on Jimmy.
Jimmy is the one who gives him meds though the game. They quickly run out of bandages post-crash, so his only means of physical omfort is the painkillers.
Writing this, im thinking about the birthday party. Curly expresses his need for a better life, and Jimmy explodes. "WE'RE the ones you're trying to run from."
Jimmy feels abandoned before anything has happened. His company dumping him isnt such a big deal, but his best friend?
What he's really saying is, "I'm the one you're trying to run from."
Which brings me to "wouldn't Curly be Jimmy's antagonist?" And I see your point. But I feel that Jimmy has attachment and abandonment issues. Curlys been with him for a long time. He's the only consistency in this world. Is Curly leaves, what would that make Jimmy?
Alone. Abandoned. Trash. Useless worthless man.
I feel Jimmy is too obsessed with Curly and his image to see him as opposition. I see it more as a Curly is Jimmy's favorite person and is constantly splitting in him.
Curly is never the one who stops Jimmy. Curly didnt stop him going into the cockpit. Curly wasn't the cause of Jimmys muder-suicide.
Curly paved the way for Jimmy. Curly carved the path Jimmy walks on. Anya was Jims catalyst for action.
"What about Daisuke and Swansea?"
Diasuke is faded in the background when it comes to their stories. He doesn't play a substantial role in stopping or progressing either goals. He's more of a Herold. He let's Jimmy know that Anya is locked in medical and that is the message that propells the second half of the game (the message in the first half being the notice from PE)
Swansea is a threshold guardian. TGs are the force that hinders the protagonists path but for a milestone in the story. Sometimes they can be overarching and defend different thresholds, but Swansea is just a TG when he is guarding Utility. Possibly when they are running in the crypt, but for this post I'll focus on the in-reality part.
Swansea isnt seen through the game as an obstacle until Anya is locked in medical. He, like Daisuke, are background characters. Until he stands in the way of the only way into medical, then he is an obstacle and must be removed. Daisuke doesn't do much except be a tool in Jimmy plan.
Anyways this too long, hope it all made sense!

a sentiment i see a lot from anti recovery crowds that i really deeply disagree with is the notion that recovery for cluster b personality disorders is solely for the benifit of others and doesnt actually help us at all so its useless and this is just completely untrue
recovery and healing is first and foremost, always about us. it is *for* us. it is for OUR benifit, to make US feel better and make OUR lives more bearable and enjoyable. and while yea, a lot of that will also benifit the people around us, that is and should always be an afterthought and natural byproduct of the process and not that main goal. because u cant make real meaningful change solely for someone else, u have to want it and it has to benifit u because recovery is a long and difficult process that hurts and is uncomfortable and so there HAS to be actual benifits to us as payoff for that hard work to be worth it and to keep us going. thats just how human beings work. so it's okay and good for recovery to be selfish. ur allowed to want ur life to be better and easier for u! thats a good thing!
because acknowleging and confronting our trauma, being heard and seen and validated in what happened to us, being able to finally claim and have taken seriously the very real pain and suffering we went through, finding new ways to understand and cope with our feelings, finding healthier paths to better decisions that actively benifit us and lead to positive outcomes, is and should be entirely for our benifit. it is a perfectly good and healthy motivation to say "im doing this because im sick of being miserable" "im doing this because it will benifit me in the long run" "im doing this because it will make me happy" "im doing this to feel better" "im doing this for me"
recover selfishly, recover spitefully even! do it solely to make ur life easier and better and for no one else. that is genuinely always the goal and the best way to make meaningful change

Trigger Warning: Rare Illness/Health Issues [wasn't sure if this need a tw but these topics make some ppl uncomfy so i wanted to be considerate anyway💜]
so a lot of ppl have been asking me why i don't post pics anymore or why i have barely been on social media compared to how i used to be. and the reason is i've been having severe health issues for a very long time. i can't even remember the last time i went more than a month without feeling nauseous, or actually throwing up, or just having headaches and stomach pain that are so bad i can barely tolerate them.
i've known for a while that i have gastritis, but my mom & my bf convinced me to go to a new doctor for a second opinion. after months & months of pure agony and feeling exhausted and sick to the point where i have no energy, i finally know why. i went to a specialist and discovered i have a rare illness called CVS (Cyclic vomiting syndrome). and i also am lactose intolerant which was amplifying my symptoms because i eat dairy products constantly.
i am going to be starting treatment for it and i really hope it improves my life and my ability to function because i am so tired of "living" like this. just existing has been exhausting and painful. i literally haven't been able to accomplish any of the goals i have because i can't go more than a few days without feeling horrible.
i already feel useless because i'm autistic and i have bipolar 1 and i'm waiting on disability payments to come through because i am unable to work with my disabilities. so my bf has been working and doing his best to take care of me and our kids. i just feel so horrible and guilty all the time. and i genuinely didn't know why i feel sick 24/7. all i want is to feel like myself again. and to do all the things i miss doing. i feel like i'm trapped by this illness.
i'm grateful to have answers and know what i'm dealing with finally. but after suffering like this almost every single day for so long its so hard to feel hopeful for the future at this point. i'm literally in tears as i type this. its just been really bad. i never do my makeup anymore or feel good about myself. i can barely move sometimes because the pain in my stomach is so bad or i get pain in my throat from vomiting for hours at a time, and then i get MORE pain from dry heaving due to not being able to hold down any food. and then i get random migraines and headaches that last all day as a result of all of that. its taking a huge toll on my body and my mental health. my depression gets worse during the winter season so when this started getting really bad it just made my mental health a million times worse. its literal hell.
but yeah thats why i haven't been online. real life is hard enough and i haven't been motivated to post because of the hell i'm going through or a lot of the time i physically CAN'T make content. but i'm going to keep trying. i'm going to do every fucking thing my doctors tell me to do because im so fed up with suffering. i promise that i will make content again and post the things i create and other stuff i used to post about before i stopped being able to function. as soon as i start to feel semi normal or at least well enough to do daily activities and complete even small goals, i will post about it. i'll keep u guys updated.
i appreciate every single person who follows me and my content, and all the ppl who keep checking up on me and wondering where the fuck i went. i love you guys so much💜 and i'm so sorry to all the ppl who haven't heard from me. if i can gain at least a little bit of my physical strength and health back, i will be so happy. i also am trying to get vitamins prescribed to me because im severely lacking nutrients but they are so expensive and i can't afford them out of pocket until i get my disability money. i'm also anemic and have to start taking iron supplements again. i'm just a giant ball of health issues😭 its actually ridiculous how bad my health has been. but i'm a mom and for that reason i will never stop trying. i will do whatever it takes to get better. i don't think my health could get much worse than it is currently. hopefully i didn't just jinx myself by saying that😭
sorry for the super long explanation, i just have sooo many messages in my inbox and questions that you guys send me that i haven't answered. i don't want to leave u in the dark. the connections i've made on this silly little blog mean the world to me. and everything i've been going through has been so hard to explain. but since i recently got a REAL answer as to why i'm suffering so much, i felt it was a good time to let you guys know what is going on with me. like i said, when i am able to feel somewhat normal again i will post consistently and re-open my shop too! it sucks so bad having a passion for creating but being too sick to even get out of bed other than to get sick in the bathroom. i've been to the emergency room more times this month than i have in the last 4 years. if i can overcome this awfulness i will not take it for granted. i will work harder than i ever have to create and share it with the world. but for now i just have to sit back and do whatever my doctors tell me to do and hope to god that it helps me 😞

Could I ask for a mini ramble on why Keating is your favourite character? Poised with a notebook and pen to take down notes haha
YES!!!!!!!
BECAUSE NOBODY EVER TALKS ABOUT HIM AND THATS HONESTLY SO RUDE!!!!!!!
so like. keating; let's talk about that
Tumblr media
we desperately need to acknowledge that keating is an amazing man right down to his core. he is so passionate about living life in a way that makes him feel fulfilled that he makes it his main goal to teach others how to do the same.
he experienced the same exact thing as the poets, remember, the movie makes a big deal of how nothing at welton changes. he had the same exact oppressive environment growing up as they did, so he knew exactly how to connect to these boys.
HIS INTENTIONS AND ACTIONS WERE NOTHING BUT PURE, AND THATS WHAT MAKES HIS ENDING ALL THE MORE DEVASTATING.
every single one of his peers and superiors fully believed that neil's death was keatings fault, and actively shunned him for it. not a singular person that wasnt a Teenager in his community understood what he was trying to do. welton painted the narrative that keating taught these insane useless lessons about breaking the rules BUT NEED! I! REMIND! YOU! HE MADE A PRETTY BIG EMPHASIS ON THE FACT THAT U GOTTA BE SMART ABT IT! he called out charlie for the call from god thing for a reason!!
another crazy devastating thing abt keating + neils death is the fact that neil was understanding exactly what carpe diem mean's IMMEDIATELY. AND WAS ACTING ON IT!! he pursued things that he knew would make him happy and fulfilled in the long run, he knew what he wanted to do with his life and he took the first opportunity to get it. the exact fucking definition of seizing the day. keating was REACHING THIS KID SO WELL!! HE WAS UNDERSTANDING EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS SAYING!!! AND THEN!!! AND THEN!!!!!!!!!!
so imagine this. you grow up in the most rigid, boring, unchanging environment and decide fuck it, im gonna Do Something for Myself for Once. you start to think oh, this is actually kinda sick, doing things that make me happy. you escape the environment that aims to essentially make these Children into what their idea of successful is. (quick reminder that there are actual children also attending welton. like kids. like 9 year olds n shit.) you actually chase after every opportunity to be what your idea of successful is, and were so passionate about that way of living that you learned how to teach others how to do it. and also poetry and stuff.
so youre doing exactly that, you finally got to a point where youre doing exactly what you wanna do, and teaching these kids in a situation just like yours. and its going SO WELL! there's this one kid who just GETS IT and is doing it flawlessly and then - oh !
and now everyone around you is like um wtf this is your fault actually. SO YOU HAVE TO PROCESS THE FACT THAT YOUR STUDENT IS DEAD ON TOP OF HAVING TO RELIVE THE ENVIRONMENT YOU HATED AND ACTIVELY WORKED AGAINST YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. AND NOW YOU HAVE NO INCOME OR COMMUNITY OR HOME OR FRIENDS. AND THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT KNOW YOU ARENT A MURDERER ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 18. AND YOUR WIFE LIVES IN ANOTHER COUNTRY. OH AND ALSO YOUR RESUME IS RUINED AND ITLL PROBABLY BE PRETTY HARD TO FIND ANOTHER JOB IF YOU CAN AT ALL.
AND YOU HAVE CANCER. HE HAS CANCER IN THE OG SCRIPT.
keating is my personal description of raw devastation. all of who you are and what you wanted to be is in shambles because of something that isnt your fault. but almost everyone around you thinks it is your fault. and we're just gonna move on from that? thats it? thats the end of the story? no more keating after that?????? downright evil. more people gotta talk about this wonderful man!!!!!
also very sorry if this makes no sense, im quite high. but also shameless self promo pls interact with my ask blog @ask-captain-keating bc i lob running it. pleags. ily for asking this btw!!!!

Hi admin!!
I want to write a fic based if the Sumeru blogs and includes the OC's
So as the owner of Natalia I wanted to get your permission before including her! It would mainly be your interactions with wanderer, Nilou and Étoiles
Hope you're having a good day/night! ❤️
Of course! Here let me get you her voice lines my rant about her, and let me know if you have any questions :3
Lore Rant:
She specializes in prosthetics and battlefield medicine. Her name is Natalia and her segment designation is Xi. 
Im still working out her goals. My current ideas are that she wants to study teyvat through the lense of the limits of humanity. I need to fully figure out what exactly Natalia is studying in teyvat that involves basically turning people into cyborgs. Sure, being influenced by dottore would have her want to make people as strong as gods, but does she want to twist people like balloon animals into all sorts of horrifying shapes using prosthetics and cybernetic technology to see what can be unlocked? Is that the limits of humanity she’s after? Would there be something in irminsul her prosthetics technology could affect? Are cyborgs unable to reenter the leylines if they’ve forsaken their humanity? What constitutes as humanity? Is she putting souls in prosthetics to enhance the abilities of Fatui soldiers? I have so many questions and ideas ha ha
She also wants to leave the laboratory to be able to do this but as she makes prosthetic organs for dottore, she has to be on standby. She also wants to be seen as a good scientist by dottore, she def has those gifted kid vibes, so that she’ll be granted more privileges like being able to leave the lab. But she gets the authority to conduct her experiments by being in dottore’s back pocket. She also worries about not making progress to her goals of studying teyvat fast enough, and worries that if she falls behind on scientific progress dottore will get rid of her for being useless. Anyway yeah she has a lot of internal conflict. Potential for a character arc of her regaining everything she needs for her experiments but without the help of the Fatui if she decides to run away, but who’d want to run away from the Fatui am I right?  
she thinks discussing emotions is showing weakness and thinks therapy is a scam. She prioritizes her work in gathering knowledge through science as more important than anything else in her life. She also tries to make logical decisions about 95% of the time but there are moments when she’ll act impulsively in terms of personality she is rather obsessed with her work, but she’s also quite petty and a little haughty about being a “true scholar”. She has reverence for science, and scoffs at others who don’t. She also has a mental hierarchy, and that determines if she’ll accept or reject criticism from someone. 
Her voice sounds like a mix between cold and calculating and a little, I don’t know how to describe this, sultry? Something like Kafka from HSR. She is a certified yapper, she may be quiet and focused on her work but get her talking about her studies and she will not shut up. She’s 37 years old and 6’ tall but wears 3” heels. I’m slowly filling out a large questionnaire of character creation questions for her.
If she was playable she’d be an aggressive claymore dendro healer that heals based on edmg. The amount of healing done would equal 110% of the edmg. I’m still figuring out what her skills would do, obviously she’d need an infusion thing to make the healing work. And she’d heal when dendro edmg is done even by other teammates who are infused by her dendro.
Oh and she obviously needs a boss fight because ofc so I’m not sure about the monologue or phase one but phase two would have her in a crow themed battle suit where her extra arms would be strapped into crow themed wings. And how she’d get into this mech suit would be that she would stumble backwards into it and have it activate on impact, or something else I haven’t decided. Her boss theme would have kind of a mechanical vibe like uh coordinate shift by ferry, but obviously would have the Latin chanting and fatui letimotif.
oki now time for fun trivia!
her favorite color is dark purple, but she can’t don herself in it like she should bc she’s a dottore segment and I doubt those are given much individuality so she steals the dark purple coats from Dottore’s funder Pantalone and tailors them to fit herself.
her favorite foods are warm soup and halva
she absolutely hates her fellow segment webttore. Hates his guts. It’s like she’s GLaDOS and he’s Wheatley. The reason why she hates him is that he’s very chaotic and she tries to understand why but he knows she’s trying to understand him so he does things that mess up her data points and she just gets so mad about it that she tries to maim him quite often.
Her birthday is January 5th
she’s a lesbian and her type she’s attracted to is robotic or cybernetic ladies who also do science. But she’s so bad at expressing her feelings.
she has no issue with gossiping
she likes shiny objects like any good crow does please put one of those shiny “you did good” stickers on her lab reports she needs it
Voicelines(still a wip):
Hello
I am Natalia, segment of Il Dottore, second of the Fatui Harbingers. A prostheticist, a battlefield medic, and a true scholar. It’s an honor to travel with you and study how you operate.
Chat: Hypothesis
 Forging bone into the metal of prosthetics could strengthen them
Chat: Medicine
 Come here, let me fix that sprained ankle of yours. I’ve treated many sprained ankles in my career. This should take a minute, tell me what you’ve done in battle?
Chat: Shiny Object
 Oh, the light glitters off of that, give it to me.
When Thunder Strikes
Lightning is an underutilized power source, if only I could get my many hands on someone with an electro vision willing to let me experiment on them.
When It Snows
Keep your boots and gloves on, lest your toes and fingers join my collection.
When the Sun Is Out
AH! I have to get inside, my skin is too pale!
When the Wind Is Blowing
I should find the time to sew weights into the bottom of my skirt.
Good Morning
I watched you sleep, I can recommend a segment to fix your snoring issue. What experiments are on the agenda for today?
Good Afternoon
The afternoon is the perfect time for study and research. The day has been set in motion, almost everyone is focused on their work, almost.
Good Evening
It is time to clean up the testing materials and write up the reports.
Good Night
Good rest is required for a functioning brain. You can’t sleep? My tranquilizers will help.
About Natalia: Education
The Akademiya is not the only way to gain medical expertise. They’re hardly worth the cost as well, their rules are oppressive to true research. There should be no boundaries to what can be studied, how else will scientific progress be made?
About Natalia: Extra Arms
 Friendship Lv. 4
 These arms were a gift from Il Dottore himself. I am surprised he has the heart for gifts, but I suppose I am just so good a scholar that I am worthy of his gifts. They are useful too, the titanium aluminum alloy they are made of makes them lightweight but durable. I can work twice as fast as the other segments with them.
About Us: 
(Unknown)
About Us: Test Subject
 Friendship Lv. 6
Your ability to wield the elements without a vision or delusion is fascinating. I implore you to volunteer for my research, I could make a praise-worthy breakthrough by studying you.
About Natlan:
War is a place where someone like me is very needed, so when I noticed the things happening in Natlan..I requested to go and was assigned to help Capitano in his fight. From what I've seen, it's quite lively and peaceful for the nation of war. I've been taught not to take things at face value, so there must be someone there good at masking things. While I have some free time, I will dethrone the puppetmaster behind this appearance.
About Sheznayah:
About the Vision
 Friendship Lv. 4
Visions are marks of those claimed by Celestia, and serve little use to me. Yet I still wonder what I could have done to receive one? Has the God of Wisdom herself looked upon my research with favor? How hypocritical of her, to allow Il Dottore to be cast out, but to grant me a Dendro vision. Well, I’ll take my praise when I can.
Something to Share
I keep the frostbitten extremities of careless soldiers preserved in jars. They serve no use other than decoration, but I enjoy teasing the younger segments by showing them the jars.
Interesting Things: Prosthetics
Divine knowledge is easy to integrate into prosthetic limbs. The benefits outweigh using delusions, if you wish to risk the chance of losing your mind. I consider that more safe than the guarantee of growing old and sick at an accelerated rate. 
Interesting Things: Irminsul
 Friendship Lv. 4
The roots of Irminsul run long and deep, and the branches shed leaves of knowledge unable to be comprehended rationally. To distill knowledge into an understandable form to implant in prosthetics is a tricky process. First it must be harvested from the trunk or a thick enough branch, and left to drip like maple syrup. Then it must be run through a machine to pick out the impurities of forbidden knowledge. This step must be repeated until a substance resembling primordial water remains. Finally, it is bottled into cartridges and put into prosthetics. (This is what I can imagine based off of theories but if anyone has any better ideas please share)
About Webttore
 Friendship Lv. 4
He is a disgrace. I don’t understand why he acts the way he does, no matter how much I and the other segments study and analyze his every movement. I’m convinced he is on to us, and outsmarting us. Coming from the mind of the same man as I am from, he has equal competition in intelligence. He thinks through his stupid decisions, as if he is choosing to be a moron. If I was allowed to kill him, I would take the opportunity and use his corpse for my research. He’s more useful to me as a corpse than an annoyance.
About Omega
 Friendship Lv. 4
He and I get along well, out of all the segments he is one of the few I can stand. He too wishes for his freedom, despite his mission privileges.
About Collei: 
Despite the various experiments that have been done on Collei, I promise you that they were all done with the intent to HELP her lead a life more comfortably and develop a cure for eleazar while studying its properties. However I leave the blame of her trauma on Webttore’s relaxed management style. Had I been conducting the experiment, everything would’ve been handled more efficiently and strategically than the haphazard mess Webttore ran.
About the Tsaritsa
 Friendship Lv. 4
Our Majesty The Tsaritsa is a noble woman. To go against the gods who have given her her power in exchange for her loyalty is admirable. She is an inspiration to all, I only wish I had the bravery to leave for my studies as she has had to disobey The Heavenly Principles.
About The Jester
 Friendship Lv. 4
He is a very solitary man, I hardly see him outside of official business. 
About The Captain
 Friendship Lv. 4
He is powerful already, I’ve seen him in action, but imagine how powerful he could be with augmentations I make for him. (Need help with figuring out what else to say about him)
About The Doctor
 Friendship Lv. 4
My creator, my father, I’m honored to share his title. His curiosity knows no bounds. I know he is hated, he hates himself too, but he is a perfect scientist. I can almost forgive his busyness. I will become as good of a scientist as him, as I am his best clone. I’m a true scholar thanks to him. (Need help with figuring out what else to say about him. Natalia would know a LOT about him.)
About Damselette
 Friendship Lv. 4
She will hold an important role in the completion of Her Majesty’s plan. Her heritage as a blessed race of the Pyro Archon gives her command over the dragons. Draconic power will need to be studied before being properly used, but lucky for me I am chosen to be her confidant. I can gain whatever information I need about dragons or anything I wish from her.
About Arlecchino
 Friendship Lv. 4
Ah, the Knave. She has never liked me, and I only seek her help when necessary. She is less grateful for research than the previous Knave. As far as I am concerned, the only thing worth studying about her is the properties and uses of her blood.
About The Rooster
 Friendship Lv. 4
The Rooster finds my position distasteful, and I find his persistence in meddling with my test subject supply annoying. He has no respect for the noble pursuit of scientific progress, so I have little desire to obey him. 
About The Balladeer
Friendship Lv. 4
He was a pleasure to study. Khanrian technology adapted with more modern methods is the basis of my prosthetics design. His temperament made him unstable but easy to manipulate into agreeing to experiments. He had a one track mind, focused only on claiming his place as an archon to make up for how disgusted he was at humanity. A shame he retired, I could’ve made more research out of him.
About Marionette
 Friendship Lv. 4
She is an exceptional test subject. Her robotic body is a wonderful basis to model prosthetics off of, and her science based mentality makes her a good lab partner. I find it fascinating how it holds the human soul of Alain Guillotine, I have based many of my soul powered prosthetics off of that. It brightens my day when I am sent to deliver research notes and materials to her lab.
About Regrator
 Friendship Lv. 4
Pantalone is an intelligent individual, yet he forgets he taught me all his tricks. How foolish of him. I don’t deny he is skilled at manipulating the flow of money like a puppeteer, a scholar of economics. I’ve learned much from him, enough to always secure funding for my experiments. As an added bonus, his purple coats are quite comfortable once I tailor them to fit myself.
About The Fair Lady
 Friendship Lv. 4
She visited often, and would observe me as I work. I thank her for imparting her knowledge to me, I trust her as she has graduated from the Akademiya. I consider her a true scholar. What I find fascinating is the fire she wields and the flames in The Knave’s blood are made of a similar chemical composition. It implies the mutation of the Crimson Moon is able to be artificially made in humans. May she and her lover be reunited in death, and be reborn in the new world together.
About Childe
 Friendship Lv. 4
He is as stupid as Webttore, unconsciously. I cannot blame him for being that impulsive with his body, many times I have had to patch him up after his battles. His politeness to me is appreciated, but I don’t patch him up out of the kindness of my heart.
About Aym: The God of War really was under our noses the entire time, I guess that praying in a time of need really does work in some cases. I'm not sure what will happen from here on out..but it seems like something has changed in the air up above... I'm going to head back to Snezhnaya soon to record my findings from this mission. I hope Il Dottore finds this useful.
More About Natalia: I
You thirst for knowledge as I do? Perhaps we will get along better than I thought. 
More About Natalia: II
 Friendship Lv. 3
My two responsibilities go hand in hand. My work as a prostheticist is what I research for The Doctor, and my job as a battlefield medic allows me to gather data on live subjects in the field. Efficient, isn’t it? But repetitive, I patch up the same ungrateful imbeciles each time with nothing new to study. 
More About Natalia: III
 Friendship Lv. 4
Segments have many choices for names. Some choose to keep their original designations, others such as I are given new names by many means. My designation and original name is Xi, as tattooed on the back of my neck. But you have only heard me named “Natalia”. I’ll impart this knowledge to quell your curiosity, The Regrator was the one to rename me. It’s predictable what The Doctor will let slide to get his funds. He only stood to gain from allowing Pantalone to call me “Natalia”.
More About Natalia: IV
 Friendship Lv. 5
I will be honest with you. I am conflicted inside. I yearn for the affection and praise from The Doctor, as any child would from their father, but I know I cannot receive that without gathering knowledge for him. It is my purpose in life, and I am failing. The answer is so simple, but he won’t allow me to reach it. With the freedom to explore Teyvat, I can gather more knowledge in my field and be useful enough for his praise once again. But of course, I am too useful to his life, I have to be his right hand to keep replacing his organs. It’s pathetic to be forced into repetitive work but punished for being unable to gather more knowledge. An example of an Oroboros. An Ouroboros that ends with an outside hand strangling the snake, what use does a snake encircling itself have to anyone?
More About Natalia: V
 Friendship Lv. 6
You ask why I don’t quit the Fatui and leave the lab on my own accord? Well, I’m better off in the lab with the Fatui than outside it. Not by much, there are many downsides and I am stagnating in progress. But to be unable to gain funding and continue my research is what I risk if I leave. If I would be allowed to leave at all, in the attempt I could be discontinued for knowing too much. I hope that one day a miracle will happen, I will make a breakthrough, I won’t be failing in my duty anymore, and I’ll earn my right to leave.
Natalia’s Hobbies
(Fighting webby or medical malpractice or something idk)
Natalia’s Troubles
The persistent pestering of the other segments is impeding my work.
Favorite Food
A simple meal of warm soup and halva is all I need to get through the day. Soup is easy to prepare and functions as both a food and a drink. Halva's sturdy, geometric nature makes it portable and efficient to eat while working.
Least Favorite Food
Dishes with too many steps are scientific procedures, not food. My specialty is prosthetics, I don’t have the time to conduct a biological experiment outside of my field. 
Receiving a Gift: I
I am impressed, you disproved my hypothesis on your cooking skills. 
Receiving a Gift: II
Tastewise expected results, no breakthroughs.
Receiving a Gift: III
This is bad, I wouldn’t even give it to Webttore.
Birthday
I have been informed that it’s your birthday. Happy Birthday, come visit the laboratory. I’ve kept Webttore from eating your cake, mind your step so you don’t slip over his body. I’ve prepared a gift for you as well, these wrist braces should strengthen your grip on your sword and on the scruff of the neck of that floating creature.

yk what. im gonna say it.
i think shin hati is a bland ass mf with literally no reason to exist. i feel like she's useless, has no personality, and it feels like there's nothing to her. we've gotten no interesting background about her, no reasoning as to why she's with baylan or helping thrawn, hell- SHE doesn't even know why she's helping thrawn. she doesn't have a goal, she's just following orders blindly. who IS this chick? what is she here to do?? what's the point??
not only that, but yall are SO quick to jump on shipping her and sabine, when we literally know nothing about her, and y'all are SO comfortable with dropping a perfectly viable and interesting woman of color that was extremely close to sabine when she was younger. yall are so excited to ship a white woman with a lightwashed feminine "butch" (yall are so insistent on calling sabine butch but if yall saw real butches irl you'd vomit) instead of endorsing in an interesting ship between two women of color that had history to begin with.
"but ketsu probably died on mandalore!!! 🥺" shut up SHUT UP ! it doesn't excuse the fact that yall are actively ignoring a powerful black woman that fits so much more perfectly with sabine rather than this bland ass chick with a bob.
and don't even get me STARTED on who yall ship ezra with.

She specializes in prosthetics and battlefield medicine. Her name is Natalia and her segment designation is Xi. 
Im still working out her goals. My current ideas are that she wants to study teyvat through the lense of the limits of humanity. I need to fully figure out what exactly Natalia is studying in teyvat that involves basically turning people into cyborgs. Sure, being influenced by dottore would have her want to make people as strong as gods, but does she want to twist people like balloon animals into all sorts of horrifying shapes using prosthetics and cybernetic technology to see what can be unlocked? Is that the limits of humanity she’s after? Would there be something in irminsul her prosthetics technology could affect? Are cyborgs unable to reenter the leylines if they’ve forsaken their humanity? What constitutes as humanity? Is she shoving souls into prosthetics to use to improve Fatui soldiers? I have so many questions and ideas ha ha h e l p  
She also wants to leave the laboratory to be able to do this but as she makes prosthetic organs for dottore, she has to be on standby. She also wants to be seen as a good scientist by dottore, she def has those gifted kid vibes, so that she’ll be granted more privileges like being able to leave the lab. But she gets the authority to conduct her experiments by being in dottore’s back pocket. She also worries about not making progress to her goals of studying teyvat fast enough, and worries that if she falls behind on scientific progress dottore will get rid of her for being useless. Anyway yeah she has a lot of internal conflict. Potential for a character arc of her regaining everything she needs for her experiments but without the help of the Fatui if she decides to run away, bur who’d want to run away from the Fatui am I right?  
She’s 30 years old and 6’ tall but wears 3” heels. I post a lot of pics of her lmao. I’m slowly filling out a large questionnaire of character creation questions haha help me. 
she thinks discussing emotions is showing weakness and thinks therapy is a scam. She prioritizes her work in gathering knowledge through science as more important than anything else in her life. She also tries to make logical decisions about 95% of the time but there are moments when she’ll act impulsively in terms of personality she is rather obsessed with her work, but she’s also quite petty and a little haughty about being a “true scholar”. She has reverence for science, and scoffs at others who don’t. She also has a mental hierarchy, and that determines if she’ll accept or reject criticism from someone. 
Her voice sounds like a mix between cold and calculating and a little, I don’t know how to describe this, sultry? Something like Kafka from HSR. She is a certified yapper, she may be quiet and focused on her work but get her talking about her studies and she will not shut up. 
If she was playable she’d be an aggressive claymore dendro healer that heals based on edmg. The amount of healing done would equal 110% of the edmg. I’m still figuring out what her skills would do, obviously she’d need an infusion thing to make the healing work. And she’d heal when dendro edmg is done even by other teammates who are infused by her dendro.
Oh and she obviously needs a boss fight because ofc so I’m not sure about the monologue or phase one but phase two would have her in a crow themed battle suit where her extra arms would be strapped into crow themed wings. And how she’d get into this mech suit would be that she would stumble backwards into it and have it activate on impact, or something else I haven’t decided. Her boss theme would have kind of a mechanical vibe like uh coordinate shift by ferry, but obviously would have the Latin chanting and fatui letimotif.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I Lowkey forget I have this app 💀💀💀💀
But!! She sounds really cool !
I think Theta and Natalia wouldn’t get along, it’s sort of the thing where siblings compete for their parents attention. Theta is the age range of a sometime when Dottore was in the Akademyia, so they’re kinda desperate to be seen lol. Although Theta does well in hiding that desperation for approval and appears arrogant to others.
Since Theta is more biological than the other segments they are also an “experiment” as well. I would like to think that the segments all have their own type of jobs, and Theta is based in spying/information collecting. Theta mainly does exploring around Teyvat to find some sort of anything that interests them.
If Theta was playable they would be a very selfish DPS, most likely a cryo claymore. Their signature weapon would look like a giant pair of scissor s !
I plan to draw them out some more!!! AUUUSGHSHSHSH I LOVE THETA SM :33

okay okay you made me realise something and this is me asking permission to rant. gender. for me playing sport (and resulting physique) I think is an expression of style and gender expression too? idk. I wanna be an athlete and I’m attracted to athletes as well (mostly) and like. I know goal physiques are toxic and dangerous and it’s not that as far as I can see, I’d never have the drive to do something like that to my body, but something about putting effort into athletic things just gives me this satisfaction that nothing else does and makes me feel in my body and I think I’m who I truly am then
Dont know what i did to make you come to a self realization. But goddamn its interesting
But in my case my gender is schroedinger's cat. Its all of the at once unless i try to find out what it actually is. Thats why i opt out by saying in agender bc at this point i would rather study politics than try to find out what the fuck is going on.
I still have very low standards. And am attracted to almost everyone. My type is 'respects me and sometimes is nice to me'
I was never a much of an athletic kid. I famously failed at outdoor activities. I have this thing where, in vast spaces, my vrain cant calculate trajectory and depth perception. I used to play badminton alot as a kid. But indoors, the moment im outdoors im useless.
I was always drawn to expression of gender as an art form almost? Specially being from my background, the only times i actually consciously participated in gender performance was when i wear saree and do makeup. Then im actually performing? Like im painting myself the prettiest way i can? Like i would paint on a canvas.
Gender is fucky to me and i keep it in the farthest shelf.

PSA For My Blog
Hey everyone. I don't have a lot of energy as I am writing this since i took some melatonin to help me sleep tonight so I'm sorry if this is short.
As of recently my mental health hasn't been the best. I mentioned a little the other day on one of my last posts, but there's been some changes in my personal life that have been taking a toll on me. I don't want to indulge too much since I don't really like putting my family's business out there, but my step dad is sick and i've been feeling anxious over his health for a while now. Along with that i've been dealing with resolving some of my heavier traumas with my therapist and that as well has been a lot for me to handle at the moment.
It's led me to feel drained and depleted entirely in my day, and it's been causing my depression to fly out the roof, and to be honest as of recently I've felt like im a bit inadequite and useless to those around me. I know it's only the depression speaking in that, but it's why I've made the decision to take a break from writing on my socials. I'll still be active here and there, but I have to put my mental health first as much as I don't want to.
I'm not sure when I'll be back, my goal is to be back within a few months, but I need to make sure I don't fall down my usual rabbit hole.
I'm sorry if this disappoints anyone- but rest assured I'll be back sometime soon. I just need a little time to recoup my brain.
I wish you all a happy Sunday/Day/Night/Morning/ or whatever time it is for you. I'll be back soon lovelies, thank you for your patience and understanding.
With love and warmth,
Lynx

Im sorry, but the very Korean 4b movement is a direct response to using sex and romance to control women on a social scale. It is a direct reaction to the conservative yet sex positive culture we live in. It's rejecting the idea men have control of our bodies. Korean society is not feminist. There are not many workplace protections for teachers from harassment from parents. Few Korean women have legal safeties if they are sexually assaulted, harassed, or raped. In such a place, male feminism is barely even thought of. Men in Korea are patriarchal. They harbor extreme resentment towards women: for the draft, for Western emasculation, for everything they suffer. Within the culture war we have today, given the mass broadcasting of soft Korean power, it is not too much to ask to understand how Korea treats its women and the resulting lack of sexual activity.
A part of our culture is the concept that feminists are useless. People truly believe feminists can't do anything. The 4b movement gains traction because it reenforces how they view women, and the goal is to make women seem powerless. They want to reduce women down to their bodies and ignore their social impact.
I don't think we live in a sexually negative society where white women can smash whoever they want.
The goal of the strike is to have laws enacted to secure women's safety in intimate relationships, isn't it? Digital privacy laws? Rape laws? Domestic awareness?
i hate the discussion of the 4B movement because like. yeah sure don't sleep with men who voted for trump absolutely. don't sleep with women who voted for trump! or anyone! i don't think the concept of a sex strike is inherently bad. there are women who are already in relationships with shitty men and if a sex strike is empowering to them they should absolutely engage in it.
but "half of men voted for trump, so don't date men" is like. what. were you planning on dating trump supporters if Harris won? do you not have any personal relationships with men you don't hate? like yes it the gender difference between parties is real but this has like always been true. not to mention how it ignores factors of race and queerness. a higher % of Black men voted for Harris than white women did. are y'all gonna stop dating white women? do you always fuck people based around who they are statistically likely to have supported instead of by just asking them?
a sex strike, like any strike, works when it is TARGETED and PURPOSEFUL with a specific end. like not that you, personally, need any justification to not fuck men. but when talking in terms of a movement... what is being accomplished here other than female separatism? and then people saying "that includes trans men!" like girl 86% of LGBT people who voted, voted for Harris. trans men are directly impacted by abortion rights be taken, AND loss of gender affirming care. at that point when you are genuinely making that argument you have no motivation other than taking out all your anger on The Idea Of Men instead of actual productive feminism.

Hello lm hamdi ayyad ,I humbly ask for your support by reblogging this post on your account to help save my family. As newcomers to Tumblr and GoFundMe, we are in desperate need of your kindness and support. 🙏🇵🇸🍉😔Please donate 🙏🏼Let's reach the goal as soon as possible!!! https://www.gofundme.com/f/hamai-ali-ayyad?utm_source=copy_link&utm_medium=customer&utm_campaign=man_sharesheet_tip&attribution_id=sl:6829f712-b01e-4b79-ace7-f376582ddccc
look im sorry, but my account is tiny so me sharing won't reach anyone, I'm not able to donate to anything because I'm a minor and don't have access to the things you need to do that, and i have several really bad mental issues that are actively being worsened every single time i see things like this and feel like a stupid useless piece of shit for not being able to help.
send this to people who are actually able to help you, not some random ass kid who can't do anything.

it is becoming increasingly more apparant as i get older that i will likely never reach any of the places i wanted to in life. it seems more and more like each passing day that doing the day to day becomes more hard just money wise.
at this point i dont think i could ever buy a house one day if i even wanted to. things even my older siblings have had success with. i am about 80% convinced i will be nearly 40 or older before i can get married which makes me so heartbroken because i WANT to marry both my partners now T-T
even other awful thing thats been getting to me is like. im finally at a point in my life where i actively want to start a family and potentially have kids at some point but that truly feels like I Will Never Get There and
idk i have become so cynical. i want to be here with my family and partners. i wouldnt want to be anywhere else. but it truly feels like i will never reach my goals. goals that were feesible for my siblings that are 10 yrs older than me! and ill never ever get there. because im a failure and a waste of space cant even fucking clean the house or help with finances just useless

I’m glad you’re healing from whatever happened ❤️ I haven’t been doing good. It’s been rough and I’m losing hope in everything. Being on here helps a lot. I received some bad news this week so I spent my news year staying home crying my eyes out 😭 my eyes are quite swollen. It’s just hard to process everything. I feel really useless and hopeless.
My New Year’s resolution for myself would be to just keep going and live on. I want to be more hopeful of things but I already have a tough start to that :/
How did you spend new years? Do you have any resolutions?
Im so sorry your going through that. And know you’re not useless. Whatever your feeling right now is completely valid and you should allow yourself to feel whatever you’re feeling right now. I wish you the best and I hope you’re able to heal from that. But remember a healing journey is not a linear process, so be patient with yourself. I don’t what you’re going through but in times where I’ve been down there’s been a few things that have helped me cope and if it’s ok with you maybe I could give you some advice ?
My new years was ok. For the longest time me and my family would always spend it together, but things were different now and I watched saltburn alone in my room instead. But overall I think it was really ok. Maybe it’s just me but when I lower my expectations for the holidays it makes it more enjoyable.
I did write a few goals for the new years, and it was be more active in other social medias like tik tok or Instagram.

Ok I’m bringing this post back because there are so many things I said out of anger and needed to think about for longer. When I say that I tweak because of this show I MEAN IT, so lemme clarify.
As much as I’m not Silco’s biggest fans and sometimes get frustrated at how he’s interpreted by fans, I still have to cut him some slack. Silco’s idea of liberation was not as skewed as I presented it to be here. Shimmer has been used for a lot of good, and we have to think about whether the good outweighs the bad. Silco did sacrifice many Undercity lives and did perpetrate the same means of destruction onto the Undercity as Topside at points, but he really believed in necessary evil and the eventual (and effective) liberation of Zaun. Whether that liberation under his control would be all that fantastic is up to debate. Silco’s development over the course of the show was kinda ignored in this post. Didn’t take Silco and Jinx’s very real relationship into a lot of consideration.
im never backing down on the ‘Vi’s not the activist you think she is’ and the ‘LOOK AT EKKO PLEASE’. Never.
Although Caitlyn didn’t show any malicious intent, she jumped into a situation she truly did not at all know enough about to address effectively. Can’t ignore that.
Im also never backing down on the fact that Arcane’s goal is not just to say that ‘cops suck’. You know how boring and useless a show like that would be? We KNOW that, Arcane KNOWS that. Now what?
CaitVi is real and so much more interesting when you take the individuality of the characters and how they fit (or don’t fit) into account.
I do still think about the Grayson & Vander and Caitlyn/Vi parallels. G&V was stagnant and broken. Will C/V be any different? What do the Silco loyalists actually believe? What does Jinx believe? Will compromise ever work? Will Piltover ever change?
The ‘NUANCE’ and ‘critical thinking’ and ‘media literacy’ points didn’t do or say anything lmao. Not really made in good faith. Arcane, of course, is not a black and white show, but I didn’t expand on that. -> Morally gray characters don’t just exist as ‘sympathetic but also a little evil’ tropes. Yes, Piltover is quite literally built in the backs of Zaunites, but that doesn’t mean Topsiders can’t be just as gray as Zaunites, they’re just gray in a much more different way. We can sympathize with the circumstances of the Undercity while also recognizing the humanity of Topside. I don’t think Arcane is meant to be about picking sides, it’s about showing the weaknesses and strengths of both while still prioritizing the marginalized (imo at least).
i still VEHEMENTLY disagree with the people in the screenshots lmao cuz what the hell
Saying it again -> “Embracing all the outrage without at all looking out for the people harmed by bigotry is not activism” because some people completely IGNORE the existence and purpose of the Firelights. But, I do think it’s interesting that in all of Silco’s power and influence, he never directly went after the Firelights. We mostly see him on defence when it comes to that. That is NOT to say that the Firelight resistance doesn’t deserve to be angry and frustrated with Silco and how he handles things
yes, real allies are necessary for progress, but allies also need to learn how to take a step back. Caitlyn, did in fact, stick her nose in business that she had no reason to be in because of her goodness but also because of her ignorance. Caitlyn, in all of her altruism, still hasn’t LEARNED. She knows Vi’s story and Ekko’s, but she’s still missing so many pieces of the puzzle. That’s a problem. That’s on purpose.
Don’t really know what I’m trying to say, but in all of my calls for critical thinking, I wasn’t doing too much of that myself in all of my anger and frustration lol. I’m sure there’s more I wanna touch on but this post is way too long lmao.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
… I can’t imagine that we actually watched the same show. Like I REALLY AISNSOSNWKMEJDND
hold on I’m gonna need to calm down.
Let me just make a list of why I disagree and at least organize my anger. Long post incoming.
Vander was friends and had a deal with Grayson. The sheriff. Idk what else to even add to that
Caitlyn is more than a cop and Arcane isn’t copaganda. Genuinely don’t know what kind of progress some of these people are looking for. Real allies are a necessity for real progress.
SILCO IS A CLASS TRAITOR. HE FUNNELLED DRUGS INTO THE UNDERCITY AND PUT POOR KIDS IN FACTORIES FOR THAT DRUG FOR PROFIT!!! HE PAID THE ENFORCERS TO LET HIM DO IT WITHOUT CONSEQUENCE
Vi is not as much as an activist as you would like to believe
WHY IS EKKO NEVER EVER BROUGHT UP IN THESE CONVERSATIONS????
Silco was not good for the Undercity
Silco was not a great guy. Ekko had to build an entire separate hidden community for the people he hurt and stepped on for his own benefit
Caitlyn is ignorant and naive. That’s ok. That’s what character development is for.
Loving imperfect characters like Silco and Jinx then hating characters like Vi and Caitlyn is peak media illiteracy to me
FOR THE LAST TIME: VI DIDNT ABANDON POWDER!!!!! Silco literally wanted Vi DEAD for trying to stop him from killing Vander??? How could you possibly say silco was there for jinx when Vi refused to be???? SHE WAS IN PRISON BECAUSE OF HIM???
Silco’s manipulation is working wonders on y’all
Embracing all the outrage without at all looking out for the people harmed by bigotry is not activism
SILCO IS A CLASS TRAITOR x929282929394
Caitlyn was the first person in years to show Vi kindness and care. She listened and stuck by her and took care of her after Vi was locked up for years and beat up by cops (i wonder what led her to be thrown in there?). Cait being a cop stopped being a point of contention once Vi recognized her naivety and genuineness.
NUANCE NUANCE NUANCE. ITS NEVER EVER BLACK AND WHITE
The only way I can see Vi touching ‘class traitor’ in season one was the shimmer raid. Guess who the hell put those kids in there in the first place.
Just hanging out with Caitlyn isn’t being a class traitor if Vander’s allowed to be friends with Grayson.
Critical thinking is very necessary for watching shows like Arcane
What the hell did Silco really do for the Undercity???? What changed over the 7(ish) years he was basically in power of the place? All I’ve heard was he made the air cleaner, which would be great except for, you know, shimmer and the child factory workers
Jinx is unwell and feeding into it like this in a fully serious manor would not help Arcane as a show at all
What do you want Arcane’s message as a full show to be? ‘Screw cops’? That’s a little boring and unproductive isn’t it?
CAN WE TALK ABOUT EKKO AND HIS IMPACT PLEASE???? x9382728283
Caitlyn is trying to make Piltover and Zaun a better place. Is that not allowed? Am I missing something?
Caitlyn and Vi’s arcs have only just started. Season one is basically fully set up except for characters like silco and Jinx. This is far from the end.
Genuinely think Vander would appreciate Vi for being friends (using this term loosely because they are in love) with Caitlyn considering he was the one who was opposed to war and Vi wasn’t.
Silco should NOT be your idea of Undercity independence and respect. He oppressed the Undercity the same way the Council and the Enforcers did. He helped no one but himself, his team (barely) and Jinx.
You’re allowed to like and dislike any character you want but pretending like Silco is better for the Undercity than others is just so ridiculous to me. Everyone is of course completely allowed to like Silco, but we can’t pretend like he’s this stand up guy. If you have to pretend like he was, maybe you don’t like him as much as you think.
“Because Cait’s pretty” is also incredibly incorrect. Go check point #14.
Vi never stopped loving and caring for Powder. Powder’s mental health issues were amplified and utilized by Silco because he couldn’t even heal himself.
If all of your opinions of Caitlyn and Vi start and end with “cops suck” and “class traitor” then you genuinely don’t respect Arcane as a show enough to show you nuance.
The misinterpretation of characters is just so … it’s like you go out of your way to love and/or hate characters no matter how much they show you who you are.
Your closed mindedness is clouding your judgement and making you out to seem like you don’t actually want the Undercity’s triumph, you want Silco and Jinx’s, even if it means ruining the Undercity. And that would be fine because father/daughter evil duo but trying to say you’re all for this duo because you want what’s better for the Undercity when they continue to hurt it is simply not correct and very harmful (to fictional characters in a fictional universe 😭)
Only being able to understand how Silco and Jinx were oppressed and therefore should be able to not just destroy Piltover but also Zaun is not the eat you think it is
Why is Viktor never called a class traitor? I think he's great (I also think Silco and Jinx are wonderfully written) but we hardly saw him in the Undercity/ interact with people from the Undercity plus he killed someone (Sky) from there (accidentally)
EDIT TO ADD ANOTHER POINT: Caitlyn has shown little to NO malicious intent and has no real negative impacts other than Jinx’s attachment issues and insecurities being amplified by her mere existence. Again, this is her story and development. Throughout the season she is exposed to reality and recognizes her and her peers/ families wrongs. I have no idea what you want from this character. Should Piltover just be gotten rid of in the story? Then what? Should Caitlyn have just never gotten involved and continued to embrace her privilege? Should she have left Vi in prison and stay ignorant?
