#just to not jinx anything

Hey so like...

what if I said...

my boyfriend got me a super shiny rock, and now he's no longer my boyfriend...

That'd be pretty crazy right? Aaaaaaanyways--

So funny Viktor chooses to present himself to Jayce as a white-golden robot (considering it is shown he could possess one of his followers) despite his representative colors being purple and blue (during s2 arc 1 and arc 2 and as the Herald Machine). But for the very specific purpose of convincing Jayce to join him, he's represented in the colors associated with Mel. Literally CATWALKING into the room, which is an action associated with Mel too

I love how Jinx is all sad and shit because she lost her entire family and then moments later a child quite literally falls into her lap and basically follows her around until she’s forced to adopt her

Promise you won’t change.

i’ve seen people saying that it makes no sense that caitlyn suddenly seems to have forgiven jinx but let’s look at the scene more closely: first of all, she IS angry when she first sees jinx! she’s ready to pounce right then and there! but she’s not as irrational and jumpy as she was in act 1 (which was SEVEN MONTHS earlier) and she realizes that trying to catch jinx now will just make everything worse. and we see her face change when she sees vi and jinx getting along! it’s not like she’s just suddenly okay with this — she absolutely still holds a grudge against jinx, she’s just now able to think about the consequences of her actions. she’s also at this point more concerned with sabotaging ambessa who she’s realized has been manipulating her for months. and same goes for vi, vi didn’t just suddenly forgive caitlyn, she realized that fighting over it NOW will be counterproductive. right now they’re on the same side. they’re going to talk it out/fight later, as we’ve seen in the trailer for act 3

my last poorly edited arcane meme popped off a bit so

[verysadlesbian]

I made a post earlier about Christian Linke's bullshit and deleted it, because I found even more bullshit while looking through twitter and that got me questioning if he was even involved in the actual writing of the show at all. At this point, I think what may have happened is: he had some of the ideas for the plotpoints, presented them to the writers of the show and went home to take a nap, then the animators and VAs filled in the blanks. All these additions, the retcons to cover up his barely veileid homophobia, the disregard to the social commentary and, overall, the disrespect to the audience, as if we're a bunch of dummies who would take anything he says as true because he's a co-creator, as if we have no capacity to think for ourselves and interpret what is shown (and other things that I'm not gonna get into, right now)... He's been pissing me off a great deal and honestly, I didn't feel this much vitriol for a creator of something that I liked since J. K. Rowling (even though she's objectively worse and I was much younger when liked Harry Potter, so there's also the nostalgia of it all, but it's like this hits the same because my love for arcane is stronger, y'know what I mean?). He's digging his own grave and we're just watching it happen in real time, it's kinda fascinating.

Looks like Singed is under Noxian custody (top left), which implies that the raid we saw in the teaser and the trailer lead to the widespread capture of multiple Zaunite citizens from multiple factions, including civilians.

And Jinx really is breaking these people out of jail. Jinx probably came for Singed first, but things happen and suddenly she's freeing everybody.

The irony shouldn't be lost on anyone that the most significant thing Jayce and Vi did in Zaun last season was lead a raid where not only were multiple unarmed workers physically assaulted by enforcers and a child was killed, but the civilian workers were still arrested in the end, including the child workers!

Jinx really gets a mural because she's THAT girl!

I finally watched arcane s2

[alternatesilco]

an angel dies I DIE everytime I meet a fellow Silco enthusiast who can’t accept he was a bad father. I am clawing and bouncing off the walls of my padded enclosure, stop defending his parenting!!! He was a shit father!!! A good dad wouldn’t raise their child to be violent and hateful; a good dad wouldn’t enable and nurture resentment and aggression.

Silco being a loving but horrible father is such a big part of his character that I struggle to understand how people can enjoy his writing but deny/defend it simultaneously.

Silco did not love Jinx in a way that meant doing what’s best for her— it was loving her no matter what she did. He loved her so much that when he had a chance to get his Nation of Zaun at her expense, he gave it up! He gave it all up. Something he desired for so long.

I LOVE talking about Silco’s bad qualities!!!! He’s so interesting, I want to bake him into a gingerbread man.

I could yap longer but I’m out of words and sleep deprived. :,D

Feel free to correct me on anything or give your opinion!! I do not pride myself on how well I am able to articulate my thoughts.

TLDR; If you’re going to like my pretty princess drug lord, don’t deny the aspect that’s such an integral part of him! And uuhhh loving father ≠ good father.

“I never would’ve given you to them, not for anything. Don’t cry. You’re perfect.”

“A thousand times I've imagined this moment. All we've ever wanted— the boy didn't even haggle. And what do I lose but problems. Oh, it all makes sense now, brother. Is there anything so undoing as a daughter?”

“It’s okay, we’ll show them. We will show them all.”

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.
