Idk if I'm gonna get jumped for this but....Iiii don't know if it's really appropriate to call Vander Jinx's dad. He definitely was her guardian, with huge uncle energy for sure, but dad? Like, dad is something really personal and requires a high level of closeness, and they didn't seem to share that bond. Out of all the kids Powder seemed to be the most removed from him and share very little traits/interests with him, and after growing up we don't see Jinx care about him at all. So, idk, to call him her dad seems more like a fanservice to me rather than what can be confirmed by the show.

He's defo her dad in the au, tho, because there he would spend a lot more time with her and because of Vi's death pay more attention to her, therefore tightening their bond.

UPD: I mean, Vander isn't even a part of her hallucinations. Now, you could argue that it's too traumatic for her even to remember him as is seen in season 1 ep9, but I think it's the opposite, actually. Knowing Silco he probably yapped about Vander all the time (and he literally does this in ep5), so Jinx definitely remembers him and thinks of him to some extent. But why then his hallucination appeared only once? Well, I think it only happened because Jinx was under extreme pressure already, plus she recently had a shimmer operation, which could've worsened her mental state, hence Vander appearing as a hallucination. Again, this is just how I see it, I may be wrong, but I do think this view of their relationship is rational enough.

Honestly the best way I can describe the 2nd season of Arcane is written by extremely competend writers who bit off way more than they could chew. Especially in that short of a timeframe.

It's possible that it was a higher up decision for future League shows, but the focus on the Black Rose & magic worldbuilding took away focus from the core cast and the narrative of 2 cities/sisters opposed to one another. They desperately needed at least 3 more episodes

The writers are competent, but they made some deliberate choices I don't like and pulled focus from things I believe they should've left in focus. It feels like the entire narrative of the show got changed between seasons, and maybe it was always the intention and I should rewatch the entire show front-to-back without a massive hiatus in-between them for me to get it, but from my current standing... It could've been more, and the things that they did focus on and give time to were really good. It's just that the show lost its priorities and primary narrative along the way

Arcane VAs

The acting in Arcane is amazing but it’s even more impressive when you release that Jinx’s actress is actually English (Ella Purnell) and Caitlyn’s is actually Scottish (Katie Leung).

Like their acting was insane before but i always think it’s so impressive how they can portray so much emotion in a completely different accent.

Fenty this, ponies that, is Arcane bringing back those special boutique chocolates or what??????

Yes they do exist. Vi got dark chocolate with sea salt and edible gold, and Jinx got matched and strawberry chocolate swirl.

I wonder what Silco’s flavor would be? Or Mel? Or Jayce? Or Vander?

[delightedchips]

still can't believe even when arcane S2 decided to take the implication route to most of its story They still decide, in crucial dialogues, where they can acknowledge everything straight up, call everything for what it is, their grudges, a character death, literally anything explicitly happening, the perfect, reasonable place to explain any of these implications and they STILL have them IMPLY the things they want to SAYYYYYY . Instead of just SAYING IT STRAIGHT UPPPPP dawg I'm crying huhHSHAHA huhuh 😭😭😭😭

[srslylini]

the most ridiculous thing they did was make warwick follow blood but have him follow ALL blood.

Like you are telling me no one in all of Zaun bled when Singed wanted him to follow to Stillwater? You are telling ME that in all the time Warwick hung there with Singed no one bled (which is canonically literally impossible lmao)??? this takes all of 1 second to think through and not even that seemed to be possible for them.

also like how ridiculous was it that Warwick, a wild beast apparently, was just using technology and floating in that stupid wagon to Stillwater??????

And funnily enough he was also able to just use the elevator to get to Jinx.

They cut away from that and now I wonder if they knew how fucking dumb and laughable it was.

So listen, if we ignore the blood thing for a second this is what happened: Warwick broke free, followed the blood of Singed and then went full technology and was just able to drive that weird thing because I'm pretty sure no wall was broken through UNTIL he arrived at Stillwater, he then ran out killed everyone but plotarmor!Ambessa (which they also cut away because that was not explainable) went to the elevator pushed the button and drove that thing down just-

standing in there waiting?

"but Warwick was supposed to only follow Singed's blood" so he shouldn't have been able to follow Isha's one episode later.

something i'm curious about is, regarding that post you made about hairstyles + the Jumping Spider AU post where you re-drew the Arcane poster with TDL and Orange, does TDL just... force those close to him to style their hair the same as his? and is there another reason behind that or does he just want all of them to look similar?

Omg Jumping Spider ask akdjsjd

In the hairstyle one, he kinda force it on TCO, but he didn't expect TCO to actually go along with it akdbdjd. Said that he was "joking" but that just earned him a glare from TCO.

And in the Jumping Spider au, Orange is the one to ask Dark to help him make his hairstyle look similar to Dark's! TDL refused to help at first, saying he's "busy" and "I don't do makeovers!"

So Orange just take matters into his own hands, but it looked.... crappy wkdbehfdj, then Dark just facepalm and snatch the razor from Orange's grip and take hold of the situation.

Different situations comes with different context kinda deal y'know?

arcane fandom finds out traumatized man in tense political climate effects traumatized mentally ill girl living in the same conditions, more at 11

"you never bother to find out what it does to someone, being stuffed in a stone box for weeks, or months, or even years?"

i seriously hope that this wasn't just a throw-away line they put in the show except it probably was, that they make the decision to touch upon what happened to her, and that we can see her heal from it

[shrimpwritings]

If we don't get a scene with both Sevika and Jinx mourning Isha, I will go feral and write it myself

[sweatandwoe]

i mean jinx’s not dead though. she managed to do what allucination silco was encouraging her to do. she walked away

Bro why even do a fake out death with Jinx, there's no point. I've seen people say she's on the airships and I got nothing for you there. She could be! But unless the camera shows me her alive and traveling away there's no point.

I've seen the "She's hiding from Piltover" yeah but the camera isn't piltover. Jinx is dead because the writers couldn't think of a better ending to give her, they didn't know how to wrap up her storyline neatly with the finale they wrote. If they wanted her on the airships they would actually give us that. Cait glancing at stuff could just mean other Zaunites got to go on the airships, it doesn't mean Jinx herself survived
