#maybe it was waiting for Warwick and Singed?

[gettiregretti]

Slow cooking an idea where Jayce stays to try and help Viktor fight the Hexcore within him. He’s never sure if he’ll have Viktor or the Herald that day. Trying to keep secret plans from your god-like lover who can literally enter your mind is a full time horror show

Viktor and Jayce plotting against the Hexcore without it working out what they are doing. Hidden codes, snatched moments. Viktor manages to create a space just for him and starts to hoard energy against the Hexcore. It can use any face to trick him, and frequently tries to wear Jayce’s. They aren’t more powerful, so they just have to be smarter than their own creation. And together they can solve any equation.

HERE IS WHY VIKTOR WALKED AWAY FROM JAYCE AFTER HE SAVED HIM AND WHY WE DIDN'T GET A DRAWN OUT DIVORCE!

(spoilers. Duh.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

short answer: It's because Viktor's dead.

Long answer:

So Arcane is all about people changing right? The first season was rife with the idea that if you want to become who you're meant to be you have to kill off your old self. (I'm paraphrasing here, and poorly, just REMEBER jinx's arc throughout the first SZN ok, powder had to die for jinx to live.)

In the show so far, we know arcane takes the idea of this change and charcter "death" very seriously. Ergo in that opening scene of s2e1 when Jayce sees Viktor crushed under the rubble and barely breathing Viktor is, for all the show's intents and purposes, dead.

This is where you may be shouting, NO BUT JAYCE RESSURECTED HIM! and listen I agree with you, Jayce physically resurrected Viktor, yes, but what came out of that cocoon is not Viktor. Lemme explain.

Arcane doesn't do ressurection, period, the show is about dying and changing, nobody stays the same, and if you die you come back different, unrecognizable even. (Jinx, Silco, Vander as Warwick) Singed is the only character who tries to keep things the same, preserve them, and those thing he has preserved have either been changed spectacularly anyway (jinx, Warwick/Vander) or they are Inert (Rio).

So when Jayce lays Viktor down on the lab table and he's all rekt, he is dead, like even if he's breathing Viktor is functionally dead, with no magical or medical intervention he will die/has died. (I have a bone to pick here a bit with the fact that Jayce didn't take him to a hospital. Maybe it was because of the glowy appendages but I doubt it. Which leads me to assume that Viktor's injuries were beyond medical treatment meaning, once again, that he's basically dead. )

Ergo when Jayce explicitly goes against Viktor's wishes to destroy the hexcore and instead fuses it into Viktor. What comes out of that cocoon isn't Viktor anymore.

Viktor says it himself when he walks out of the cocoon he asks " what am I?" And he says something like " I died/I should be dead." While it's subtle I think we, the audience, are meant to take this very LITTERALLY.

Even while Jayce is exclaiming that he" is alive" Viktor is very sure that he isn't, that he's dead and changed. (Hella bummed he didn't get a pretty arc for this change but I guess theyre counting S1 as his arc? Anyway)

There is very important moment I want to draw your attention to here, when Jayce embraces Viktor, in joy, and Viktor slowly returns the embrace one armed and leans into Jayce, he doesn't close his eyes. (I know this sounds crazy bare with me) What I'm positing here is that this is the first inkling that Viktor is gone because he doesn't accept what Jayce is telling/giving him.

Essentially in that reunion scene, imma call it a reunion, Jayce is giving Viktor everything he wanted, their dream, their partnership, Jayce's love and attention. (don't argue with me on this Viktor is s1 wanted both even it was unsaid) And Viktor refuses all of it, he doesn't accept Jayce's affection, he doesn't close his eyes when they embrace! closing his eyes, sinking into that hug would have been acceptance, it would have been the moment that Viktor, actual Viktor, had been waiting for. (and boy had he been waiting).

But what walked/crawled/clawed their way out of that cocoon isn't Viktor. Instead it's Viktor's body and whatever impression of Viktor, or maybe parts of his soul, he gave up/lost to the Hexcore.

I think the hexcore has, very litterally, become Viktor, like Jayce basically sacrificed Viktor's body to give the thing life and now it's wearing Viktor's face and has these remnants of his memories. I believe this because it also has Skye's voice!

The hexcore didn't have a voice before, it was like a weird murmuring hum, and Viktor couldn't understand it. But now whatever parts are left of Viktor and Skye have amalgamated into the hexcore and their good intentions/idealism are functioning to guide this newly born hexcore/machine herald. (That would explain why it leaves Jayce, it has the memories of Viktor's love but not the actual emotion, it would explain why it returns to the undercity, because it has memories of that place as "home" from both Vik and Skye, and it would also explain why the MH will eventually wear a mask, because it's not Viktor, it just has his face.)

So it makes sense when the machine herald leaves Jayce after that confession and offer, because it's not Viktor anymore. Viktor is dead and Jayce failed to save him.

Anyway, hope that cleared it up for you, of course THIS IS JUST A THEORY! AN ARCANE THEORY (I couldn't help myself)

A/N, this explanation isnt meant to, like, invalidate any complaints that the Divorce arc was too rushed/fast/thrown aside. Because in a lot of ways I think it was!

This also isn't to say that this explanation I give above is the perferred way to tell Viktor's story! Because I don't think it was! In many ways by killing Viktor and making him like, the human conduit for the hexcore, they have taken away 99% of Viktor's autonomy as a character. His choices are no longer his own, his actions are tainted by this corrupting force, he (if he is even alive) no longer is himself. This victimizes Viktor in a way I don't love but also draws away from his very valid and real pain and anger.

In the machine herald lore in LoL we have these ideas of transhumanism, self reinvention, and at its core, a guy who, pushed to his limits, turned his back on Pilotover and let his own hubris lead him to committing atrocious acts.

In LoL, Viktor becomes a monster, he chooses to be the machine herald, he meticulously replaces/removes parts of himself so he can become closer and closer to what he views as the " perfect machine". His glorious evolution surrounds this idea, that humanity is inherently weak and that the only way to overcome that weakness is to surrender to the machine, to evolve.

Arcane Viktor is not getting this Arc, whatever way they try to twist the magic they gave him he's not going to get this level of revenge or autonomy, he just isn't. His purpose is likely not going to be anywhere near as strong because like I said up top Viktor's a dead man. And he isn't getting to make choices anymore.

I'll end this post here before it gets unbearably long but feel free to pop off in the reblogs, tags, and comments lads!

Love Arcane too bits and can't wait for Act 2! JAYVIK NATION RISE!

[mistresscitrusslice]

It’s not nearly as long as this one, but it boils down to: Singed is going to get Operation Paperclipped by Noxus/Ambessa.

You know how the US recruited Nazi scientists after WW2 for their own research projects like the space program? Caitlyn will conduct her investigation to take down shimmer and in doing so uncover Singed’s work. We see him get arrested in the trailers, but there’s no way in hell Ambessa is going to let an opportunity like this go to waste. Just like her daughter recognized Hextech’s potential, Ambessa going to recognize the potential to weaponize Singed’s projects.

I believe Singed had a loyalty to Silco as longtime friends, but I don’t believe that loyalty extends to Sevika or Jinx. He’ll take this opportunity as long as he can continue his research.

There isn’t enough information about his history with Heimerdinger to know whether that connection would work in his favor or against him. What I do know, though, is that Ambessa won’t give a shit. If Heimerdinger is beyond reconciliation with Singed, this could be what leads to the alliance with Noxus breaking. If that doesn’t do it, the werewolf probably will.

If Noxus/Piltover don’t find out about the werewolf on their own, Singed sure as hell isn’t going to tell them. Unlikely, though, as Vi will probably find out before they arrest him. When Singed signs on with Ambessa, she’ll probably want to cage it as a weapon, which Vi will be very against. Cait will make excuses for Ambessa because they have a common goal and Vi can’t stand for that. Vi will be the first one out of this alliance. Ekko will follow shortly after or at the same time. Not sure about Heimer. His home is in Piltover and he will probably stay there regardless of whether he’s still working with Ambessa.

Crack theory: either Ekko is supporting Ambessa or Mel is alive

If it’s not one, it has to be the other. Slightly exaggerated, but that’s what I think. Ambessa in the trailer says, “Your Council is dead!” Who is she talking to?

So, it just occurred to me: Ambessa in the trailer says, “Your Council is dead!” Who is she talking to?

My first thought would be that she’s talking to whoever is next in charge (ie. the backup gov) since the Council is no longer with us, R.I.P. 🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦

But who would that be? Would it be Heimerdinger since even though he’s not officially next in line, he’s still the one with most knowledge and a founder?

I’ve long held a theory that Caitvi and their strike team, Ambessa, Ekko and the Firelights, Heimer, and Singed (long story) are going to be working together to hunt down Jinx. (Also that Ekko and Vi and Firelights will eventually break from this alliance and work with Jinx instead, but irrelevant to this convo)

We know from the teasers he comes back with Ekko, so maybe that’s how the alliance is forged? Maybe it’s not only an alliance in the manhunt, but also in governance. Ekko is probably not too involved in the governance part, but it would amusing to see him somehow unwillingly end up alongside Piltover’s ivory tower.

Back to the point.

Perhaps that’s why it looks like the enforcers and Noxians are so collaborative in the trailers. Even without a government, you’d think a coup would have more pushback and it would take longer to get the two militaries working together even once the takeover is complete.

Moreover, if it were a total coup, the enforcers would not be the ones patrolling the streets and acting as law enforcement; it would be the Noxian soldiers. It’s not like it would take long to bring more soldiers over from Noxus. They literally have teleportation. Even if it were a total coup AND Piltovan enforcers were still trusted to act as law enforcement under Ambessa’s rule, they wouldn’t be wearing enforcer uniforms; they’d be wearing Noxian uniforms.

Mel’s flashback established that Ambessa leaves no trace of the previous government. She rules through fear and oppression. Mel is the one who would let the enforcers keep their outfits to give the people a sense of comfort and show as little malice as possible in their takeover. Ambessa would literally leave no enforcers alive. Or if she did, there’s no way they’d be trusted to work alongside her own soldiers, let alone in their original garb.

Someone with sufficient authority must have organized a truce so that a complete coup could not have happened. Caitlyn does not have that authority.

HENCE. Either Heimerdinger and Ekko are reluctantly supporting Ambessa or Mel is alive and in her mother’s ear.

[arcane-ish]

Plotbunnies aka "making the most of Viktors new ability"

Warwick/Viktor, Viktor/Silco: So my first plot bunny just Vander's point of view on the whole Viktor mindprobing him, being charmed by Viktor's goodness and wrestling with his own shame over his past or his urges.

Viktor/Silco, Vander/Silco: Second was Viktor digging deeper into Vander's mind and finding the darker more uncensored parts. Viktor "meeting" Silco in Vander's mind. Maybe Viktor flirting with young!Silco in the last Drop within Vander's mind palace. (maybe with a dash of Viktor wondering what Vander wants to tell him about Silco, if mind!Silco is so flirty).

Viktor/Silco, Viktor/Jinx: Spinning off from that: okay what other ways could Viktor have to encounter Silco? Maybe after seeing Silco in Vander's mind he wants another view and sees a different view on Silco in Jinx's mind?

Viktor/Jinx, Sisters: But then I decided Viktor wouldn't heal Jinx against her will. So next idea: Viktor offers to heal Jinx because he senses much pain but also much power in her. Jinx imo would say no. But still, lots of interesting ideas about it. Like would Vi get tempted to try and convince Jinx? Maybe the sisters debating whether they should let Viktor try to cure Isha's muteness?

Viktor/Jinx: Spinning off from that, story about Viktor wondering why The Arcane keeps urging him to try and heal Jinx. (imo Jinx has a special relationship with Hextech AND she's all shimmered up, so an "I want to suck everything in" Hexcore entity thingie would have double the reason to consume her.

Viktor/Silco + Singed: Another interesting "Viktor sees many different perpectives on Silco" point of view (on top of Vander and Jinx) would be Singed. But again, this would fall into Viktor wouldn't heal people against their will and Singed wouldn't say yes. But still, might be another interesting "temptation" type scene if Viktor would offer Singed to heal him over the pain of losing his daughter and the scars on his face. (I think Singed wouldn't say yes because I think in a weird way Singed is actually somewhat happy with his life and maybe like Silco about the The Betrayal thinks his daughter being his driving force is actually a good thing. That said, he might ask Viktor to heal Orianna instead and watch closely what that does).

Viktor/Silco + Singed. Wait, maybe Singed wants Viktor to heal Orianna, but he wants Viktor to guinea pig try it out on Silco instead?

spooky!Viktor + pairing of your choice: a more fucked up, unfeeling machine herald Viktor doesn't have this rule about not healing people against their wll anymore. So he just heals and mind invades people left and right, whether as part of a battle to take them over or almost accidentally by brushing against them. In that process he then sees the people and memories these people love the most (in my head this comes up mostly for the people who are resisting but I could do with Viktor just knowing all the loves and wants of everyone he has healed), but because he's unfeeling now, they don't mean anything to him, he's just neutrally cataloguing them. This could be done for any pairing of your choice, CaitVi (ie Viktor being at the most surprised about how much pain Cait is in about Vi), MelJay, JayVik (ie Viktor seeing how Jayce saw him and the moment Jayce fell in love with him), etc etc.

Porny VanderxSilcoxViktor (throw in Felicia if you feel like it): Viktor wandering through Vander's mind runs into a memory of Vander and Silco having sex (if you don't like, do Vander and Felicia or Vander/Silco/Felicia threesome) and because he's in Vander's mind he expreriences it from Vander's point of view and you can bring in that whole bit about how it is unfamiliar, that Viktor has never been in a certain position because of his leg. [the explanation here would be that with his normal healings, Viktor doesn't typically have to probe that deep, so he doesn't usually run into this problem]

Ekko&Viktor or maybe Timebomb: I think Ekko would be like Jinx and would never want Viktor to heal him no matter how unhappy he is. I think he'd be distrustful like Jinx (if there is a temptation then maybe one to ask Viktor whether he can heal the tree). So maybe a version where Ekko never went on his trip to Piltover and he is super weirded out by this new camp and he either teams up with Jinx to spy on it or he seeks it out to talk to Viktor and try to figure out whether Viktor is a good guy or a bad guy.

[xeno828]

I'm actually a dumbass!!!

All this time with the creators saying the next shows are gonna be spin offs / continuations of the stories, just not specifically centered around the Arcane. This whole ass time my brain was thinking this meant it was only gonna be following the new LoL characters they'd introduce in these shows, S2 ends and I end up thinking it's only gonna be following Mel and Jinx (the latter probably as more of a background character).

After someone asked Christian if we'd be seeing more of Cait and Vi again and he said "Duh!" I got excited as hell cus it meant they're story isn't over, even if they only show up as background characters.

I just saw a post on X of someone saying "Can't wait for the CaitVi spinoff"

........my brain has only JUST clocked, future spinoff shows that follow new stories with new characters can VERY well mean a CaitVi centered spin off is 100% a possibility!

They said the new shows will explore places like Ionia, Demacia, and Noxus, but they NEVER said it will ONLY be those places shown. Meaning we can 100% end up back in Piltover and Zaun, especially since there are so many champions based there that haven't been explored yet. Oriana's story has only just begun, and it would make SO much sense as to why a lot of people feel like Cait, Vi and even Ekko and Sevika didn't have clean cut endings. ITS CUS THEY DIDN'T!!! Their stories aren't over yet! We all heard spinoff and thought it meant we had to say goodbye to half these characters. No one had ever said that's actually the case, we were just assuming.

So now my brain is picturing this.

1 show following Mel in Noxus, including the Black Rose, exploring characters like Swain and LeBlanc. This probably also feeds into a storyline with the invasion of Ionia, exploring some of those LoL characters.

Then another show introducing Demacia, with characters like Lux and Garen. This one I picture including Jinx meeting Lux, 2 people in hiding in different ways for different reasons and becoming friends (or more if they decide to go that route even after TimeBomb?!) I am positive there'll be something between the 2 cus so much LoL stuff have them at least knowing each other.

And then picture another show either based on or including Piltover and Zaun, exploring more of those champions and the story happening with Oriana. Getting to see Caitlyn and Vi acting more as their LoL counterparts as partners and Cait as Sheriff of Piltover - especially as Caitlyn never actually hit that role, like everyone else in Arcane went through their official LoL titles at some point during the show. Ekko became the Boy Saviour/The Boy Who Shattered Time, Vi became The Enforcer, Jinx became The Loose Cannon, Warwick, Singed, Heimerdinger, Jayce, Viktor, they literally ALL became and were referenced in show by their LoL titles. But Caitlyn just shot straight from Enforcer to Commander, she never actually became Sheriff, BUT now that the council is back and she gave Sevika her seat it would make sense for her to become Sheriff. (I'll admit this might be me being pedantic but you can't tell me that every character being called out in the show by their title except her doesn't mean something!)

Maybe they go cracking down on Singed after everything he did? (Not sure about that last one ngl) Exploring how Sevika is doing on the council, what Ekko is up to now? Is he looking for Jinx? We know Caitlyn is sus of Jinx being alive, does she investigate this for Vi's sake? (Also unsure if they'd go along the lines of yet another Cait hunting for Jinx plot, it might be for very different reasons this time but even that's a bit repetitive for me!)

ANYWAY!! Everyone saying "oh they didn't have a good ending" YEAH NO SHIT!!!! That's cus it ain't over!

I can't believe it didn't even occur to me that their stories would continue, even though we've had so much to indicate that they could!!! The ARCANE focused plotline is over, but that doesn't mean these characters are done.

I don't know who needs to hear this but if this only JUST clicked for me then I thought I'd give others who also didn't know this some hope.

WE WILL SEE CAITVI, EKKO AND SEVIKA AGAIN, I BET MY KIDNEYS ON THIS!!!!!!!

[vi-fans-wall]

Theories S2 Arcane (Part 1) [little SPOILERS]

I'm going to analyse the theories that arise (my opinion) after the content that has been shown about the second season of Arcane.

I will start with the most obvious theories.

VANDER IS WARWIK

This is the truest theory of all. The vast majority of us who know Runeterra lore know that Warwick is Vander. For those of you who are only familiar with the series and know nothing about this League of Legends champion, I'll briefly discuss why we're all saying this.

If we check the character's biography on the League of Legends website (link) we can see that it describes Warwick as a former gangster who left that life to live a quieter one (as Vander did).

A little further down he indicates that he remembers a girl's voice, but does not know what it says. That little girl is probably Vi, since she was the person who saw him die. But it could also be Power, or even both.

And finally, it is known that Singed, the creator character of the Simer, is the one created by Warwick, and this has also been advanced in the series, at the beginning of the years.

JAYCE VS VIKTOR (Lore link)

Yep! Maybe there are other theories for you that are more confirmed and catch you by surprise, but this is more true than Cait and Vi's kiss in this season.

Currently the lore of Jayce and Viktor is partly different from that seen in Arcane. For example, the teacher who was with both of them at the academy was not Heimerdinger, but Stanwick, who we saw in episode 4 of the first season as Heimerdinger's partner and founder of Piltover.

It is known that as a result of an invention they both have, they end up arguing and parting ways. In the original lore, Viktor's illness is barely mentioned. It is mentioned that before entering the academy, when he was a child, he enhanced his body with pieces of metal, which we haven't seen yet, beyond the ‘enhancement’ with Simer + Hextech.

I'm not going to say too much because it would be a SPOILER, but surely, because of Jinx's rocket, their paths will separate in such a way that they will become enemies.

CAITVI KISS SCENE

Let's get down to what we've all been waiting for. The long awaited kiss (and possible sex scene) that some of us have been waiting for many (too many) years.

We know that Cait and Vi are very attracted to each other, even if Vi said ‘we are oil and water’, in her warm heart she is in love with Cait and vice versa. Partly, I think, what happens to Cait's mother Cassandra after Jinx's rocket will drive a wedge between Cait and Vi, why?

We know that Cait and Vi are very attracted to each other, even if Vi said ‘we are oil and water’, in her warm heart she is in love with Cait and vice versa.

Partly, I think, what happens to Caitlyn's mother Cassandra after Jinx's rocket will drive a wedge between Caitlyn and Vi, why?

Although right now I don't see Caitlyn as a person who thinks that for “being sister of” I hate you for no other reason, and she will want Vi by her side as Enforcer, to capture and/or kill Jinx, in case her mother dies (in my sincere opinion she doesn't die because there is still the lore with Corina), she will judge every action that Vi takes on Jinx, being this the trigger to “break” again. Recall that we have seen the emo Vi, and in the words of the screenwriters, at the Annecy festival, “what would happen if Vi has no one to protect?”. In addition to hallucinations seeing Caitlyn. [link]

The sex scene I think will be a flashback, I think they both had intimate relations at Caitlyn's house before going to the Council, that's why when they are caught by Jinx, I saw the image he has of Caitlyn, she is lying on that bed.

Piltover and Zaun vs. Noxus

I could already smell the battle. Piltover and Zaun are two cities in the continent of Valorant, which exist thanks to a pact with Noxus, since they are in its territerium, and it is a very important trading point, also with the region of Shurima.

Ambessa is uneasy. She wants to get hold of Hextech technology to defeat an enemy that terrifies her. From the lore it is known that there are two sides in Noxus, Swain, and The Black Rose, LeBlanc. We don't know which side Ambessa is on. We don't know if Mel dies or not, but from the previous season, we know she wants weapons, and she needs them now.

Ambessa is a warrior, she is a woman forged in war, and that means only one thing, control. She wants control. In the first season we saw her use that control. You have to be both a fox and a wolf. In the first season, when she was trying to persuade Jayce and her daughter Mel to create weapons, she was a fox, in this second season, the fox will show her wolf fangs. BUT. Piltover and Zaun are not Noxus. Mel (if she doesn't die), Jayce, Caitlyn, Vi, Jinx and Ekko will be in charge of preventing both cities from succumbing to Medarda's yoke.

More in part 2

[league-of-blorbos]

10/10 dev update, especially with the new champs and Arcane teasers

Can't wait for Skarner to finally finish up, Smolder definately looks better in game but I still wish his face and proportions were a bit different, but the look at Shyvana has me hyped thru the roof, excited for the new vastaya, I'm willing to bet so much money that the Arcane VGU will be for Viktor, my boy needs on so badly, FUCK YES AMBESSA, love more representation for buff, older, and black women and to learn more about her backstory and role in Noxus, we got a sneak peak at definately-not-Warwick, no sir, no clue what Singed could be up to, not too surprised at the prestige list but nice to see Kindred on there, sad to hear Teemo get delayed but hopefully he still comes out this year, and lastly, that first Heaven Scale could be Lee Sin due the blindfold but that be weird to give him a new skin before his ASU, but we also know Ezreal is getting a skin soon so maybe that's Kayn, if so FUCK YES I was just thinking about a dragon Rhaast not long ago so I bet he'll look fantastic if that really is Kayn

We eating good, y'all

[mystic-orb88]

ANALYSIS TIME!! Part Two (Because My Battery Died, and I Need Glorious Evolution So I Can Power My Devices From My Wrist.. Or something.):

So we know this looks like Viktor. That’s his cane, and my boi has got some serious red lined cloaked edgy drip goin’ on there, which we also see in League of Legends, although it’s a bit more raggedy there. He’s also already wearing a mask by the looks of it. His face is probably scarred up from the explosion, and he’d prefer to be seen looking like an automaton. Also, maybe like Darth Vader, it serves as a breathing apparatus, because boi’s lungs aren’t any good anymore. The thing I’m prolly most looking forward to seeing in Season Two is the development of Glorious Evolution. I personally am a big advocate of this and I can’t wait to see his transformation from sickly, on-the-cusp-of-death adorkable nerd to brilliant, seemingly unstoppable Darth Vader Arc Cyborg Nerd who will stop at nothing to reach unlimited potential and power, ergo saving his people.

Uh- anyway, to the shot- This seems to be the Undercity where he is surrounded by a few Shimmer addicts/ victims. The bright light appears to be emanating from Viktor’s hand as he passes it to the hooded figure next to him. This purple colour suggests he is weilding unstable or corrupted Hexcore technology, but not the Hexcore itself. It’s too small We know that in League he still uses it, so Jayce tooootally failed in destroying it. Major L, my dude.

The place is a shambles- crates and tools are strewn all over the place. Is this just typical, run-down wear and tear of the Undercity, or did a fight recently break out? I feel like this will be in Episode 2 or 3 for some reason. Maybe we will get a relatively smaller time-skip than Season 1.

Also, can I just say broski has augmented himself some HEIGHT. What the Hell. Bro’s taller than Cait. Vastly taller than Jayce, even, if you’ve seen the Bridging the Rift reveal. I wanna see him and Jayce argue or duke it out while he towers over him like that. Quality entertainment, peeps.

Okay, that’s all I can get out of that shot. Sorry.

I feel like this shot is overlooked. Like, there are no significant characters. No parallels, I think. What is its REAL purpose in the trailer? What’s that big purple smog? Weaponised Shimmer, or some other Chemtech ‘splosion? I thought Singed didn’t like people weaponising shimmer. There’s been speculation that part of the reason he created Warwick was to neutralise its effects with that green stuff and a blood transfusion.

Also, this isn’t Viktor. That cloak is different. There’s a new setting, Jinx’s graffiti is visible on a wall behind like later on in the trailer. It’s not Jinx- the physique doesn’t seem right-, or the mysterious Mage that saved Jayce in his youth. I bet it’s a new character.

Also, no proof yet, but I predict Sevika will die.

[ben-talks-art]

I have so many mixed feelings about season 2 of Arcane...

I'm sure many people loved it, many people may not have loved it, but can we all at least agree that there were way too many ongoing plot points constantly fighting for screen time in season 2?

Like, if we look back at season 1, what did we have going on?

We had the main plotline between the two sisters

The discord between topside and underground

The discovery and exploration of Hextech

And the stuff with Silco trying to take control while exploring his past and new relationships

That was about it. We had other stuff going on in the background but these were the main things we would focus on and that would carry the show.

Now, about season 2:

We still had the ongoing plotline between the sisters

We have growing tension with topside wanting to retaliate and underground waiting to start a revolution

Hextech's progress leading to a future disaster

Ambessa wanting to take control of things

Jinx got a fanbase

Jinx got a kid to look after

Mel is turning into Jean Grey and got access to the Phoenix Force

Vi and Cate become characters in a "Punk Rock Loser" comic

Viktor starts a cult

Jayce and Ekko travel through the Spider-Verse

Warwick

Vi becomes a cop even though her parents got killed by cops

Vi becomes a street fighter

You get the idea...

It's not that season 2 has more plot than season 1, a lot of stuff happens in season 1 as well... But that just felt like it had a tighter focus, there were certain things that were clearly being given time to breathe and be processed.

In season 2 everything feels important, everything feels relevant, everything feels big. We have so much stuff going on at the same time and only nine episodes to go through that we keep speedrunning through character developments and storylines.

Like, for example, I remember how hyped people were to see this image of Vi wearing an enforcer suit because there was so much potential for good drama to make out of it.

Imagine Vi walking through the streets she once played at as a kid and having her own people look at her terrified and realizing she now has become one of the monsters she used to fear.

Or the fact she got a new friend that looks like Vander, imagine what they will talk about, what their chemistry will be like.

Or the fact she is a fighter that relies on using those massive gauntlets that can punch through walls. Imagine her having to learn to hold back her strength so she won't be another culprit of police brutality.

There is so much we can do with this!!

But we just get three scenes with cop Vi. One where she tries to find Jinx in their old hideout, one where we get a (admittedly pretty cool) music clip, and that's it. Next thing we know, we're already heading to the big siblings' fight.

Also, the not-Vander guy barely has any lines in the whole season and I wonder why he was even added.

The season has a lot of that. A bunch of ideas that could possibly fill an entire act, maybe an entire season, but get squeezed between other ongoing storylines and don't get the chance to do all you can with it.

Me, personally, I would have just scrapped the whole thing with Viktor and the Arcane starting to glitch and keep the focus on Vi and Jinx, maybe have Singed as the final boss and have the two need to join forces to save Warwick from him. Spare all the stuff with Mel, Ambessa, the black rose, and so on for future spin-offs.

I can't be the only one who feels it's weird that this show started with Vi and Powder and ends with Ekko and Jayce being the ones that save the day (does Vi even do anything besides Cait in the last episode??), and how weird it is that our starting conflict was rich people vs poor people and that just kinda gets sidelined so we can stop a not-Dr. Doom from creating a not-Secret Wars.

I'm also not happy with the way they started to work a lot more depth into Sevika's character and then just have her be removed from the story until the final battle.

And yes, I'm aware that they probably worked with lots of production notes that said "Add this plot point so we can do more with it in future shows" or something like that, or the fact they probably can't give all the story beats all the time it needed because making a single episode of this show is probably the equivalent effort of bringing a human being back from the dead.

I'm sure they must have had all the reasons in the world for why things turned out the way they did. This looks like a very difficult show to make and it's impressive that they made as much as they did at all.

That said... While this is an impressive show with a lot of things to praise, I do think it's worth discussing if the way plot points and story beats were handled isn't something that can cause some valid dislike.

Ramble-y impressions and thoughts from my first watch of Arcane S2 Act 2

This is all I took down in my notes app, it is vaguely proofread

Of course - spoilers ahead!

Episode 4

• The beetle fight??? "We used to play a game, imagining bigger and bigger monsters" and not Jinx is playing that game with Isha T-T she is doing what she learned with her big sister with her new little sister! (Also might be some easter egg?? Feels that way?)

• ISHAS BRAIDS 😭😭😭 THE SIBLING ENERGY I AM CYRING

• I didnt know I needed big sis Jinx in my life T-T

• "She was more into... hitting things." - we dont see her face 😭 - ... "Someone put all these holes in you." - she tends not to address herself directly when it is a painful memory

• The shot of Jinx's crazy eye overlapping with Cait's in the magnifying glass (? Or whatever it is) goes crazy

• Ambessa to Cait: "You'll never rest knowing that she's out there" She's referring to Jinx, but maybe also to Mel since the Black Rose has her

• Jinx "talking" to Silco... T-T It's like she is waiting for her hallucinations to talk to her, but now they wont... maybe bc Isha is good for her? Stabilizing her?

• Singed holding a scalpel... not a differnt type of knife. Not ominous at all.

• Not her hallucinations back again, WITH Silco now that Isha was taken T-T

• BROO that warwick montage in red??  Looks so good

• Not jinx calling sevika "Lefty" xD

• Jinx's "look at this doofus guard" look at sevika

• "You look like a half-eaten circus tent" NOT THE SHADEEEE

• Not the smiley face on her middle finger "nail"

• "Whoo! Biiiig mama." (About sevika) Warden knows whats up :3

• Jinx tensing up as the prisoners approach her. She is only accustomed to being met with disdain and violence. Never has she been confronted with a group of people accepting her, being happy she is here, acknowledging her, revering her, touching her as if for good luck. Would not be surprised if this is some kind of turning point for her. That she realises she isn't alone, even if she can't know them all, but they are on her side, they (sorta) have a united cause. Or they can. If she chooses to participate. Bro I am bawling

• She is so visibly uncomfortable, she doesnt even know how to begin to react to that

• And the brothel leader too?!! Her being like "It's okay kiddo, you'll be fine, you’ve fought so hard"

• Isha crying in Jinx's arms, making Jinx cry, making me cry

• Gate shuddering, red smoke. Me: "Daddy's home~" xD

• J: "Get her(isha) out!" S: "You really are-" J: "Big fat hero." ..."It was something I could fix" callback kinda

• Not sevika being a stand-in for Vander carring Isha(Vi) away from a killing field (jinx/jinx and Vi's parents)

• I thought, is he gonna recognize his adoptive daughter by her trinkets, since she has grown up and aside from her hair colour she changed a lot... and that is what happened ajshdkakajdj

• And now Jinx doesn't really want to Die, she is crying even though she stops fighting back

• "Powder?"

• That is evillll

Episode 5

Oouf here we go

• Yesss get ready to be destroyed by Vi once again Lock!

• Vi I love you and your hook alshdkskda

• Former enforcer dude is like "That's my girl"

• Vi is shattered now too, she has a broken mirror, just like her sister. Also signifying once again that she has lost herself, is lost, does not know who she is or what to do

• The sister "talk" ? I was waiting for lets gooo

• Jinx "Vander... he's alive" ..."nothing ever stays dead"

• Crazy how at this moment, Jinx seems more mentally stable than Vi

• Minor point. Love how Caits hair looks in the cloak. Being the leader of a fascist military state has to have *some* upsides at least

• Cait you have fumbled your girlfriend AND your marbles

• Vi is *spicy* now. And by that I mean a bitch (not that I don't understand why)

• Also her eye makeup slaps. Her eyes look so pretty omg

• Mel casually unlocks some mechanism... Mel you smart devil

• The sisters looking at their dead father's things T-T

• Two estranged sisters that hate and love each other in the lair of their fathers who were brothers that hated and loved each other

• Vi reaching her hand out to comfort Jinx but retracting it T-T

• J: "If he(Silco) found this (Vander's letter to him), everything might have been different." The parallels tHE PARALLELS... also "What could have been" might as well start playing

• I swear if Isha dies I run amok, I will go berserk

• Young silco has the same fringe thingy as Jinx!!!

• Vander gives Felicia JINX'S CUPPPP

• DO THEY BOTH LOVE HER???

• singed said he hadnt found the right catalyst to vanders/ww mind yet

• What if it is Felicia/Vi??

• "Blisters and bedrock" !!!!! That is where vander and silco got their phrase from

• Is that why they wanted to establish Zaun? For her kids??? 😭😭😭 omg crying

• Omg it hit just hit me what if that is why silco hated vander? (One of the reasons at least) Vander took her kids in. And that is maybe why he (Silco) took powder in?? Because she "defected" too? From vander? Am I big braining or smooth braining rn??

• V: "What's the point if we cant raise an ankle biter or two?" HE IS CORRECT WITH THE TWO, ALSO THE ANKLE BITING xD I would be surprised if Powder/Jinx wasn't at some point biting her father figures

• But they really did take care of them!!!! Omg unified theory???

• "What are you waiting for? He's your dad too" crying screaming omg 😭😭😭😭

• The hug omg <3 I didn't think we'd get this T-T but I know what comes now will destroy me

• Viktor/Salo: "I suppose this is somewhat beyond what we left off." YA THINK.

• "I'm sorry you feel that way" what in the therapyspeak

• DAMN JAYCE. Didn't know it was pancake day. We have storebought you know

Episode 6

• "Ask for a miracle healer, get a metal fortune cookie." xD i can't

• BRO. I never thought I would hear "Powder" out of Viktor's mouth goddamn

• Vi: "What do you think?" Jinx: "You... actually want my opinion?" she sounds so disbelieving T-T

• The monage of Vander's memories has me sobbing. Ugly

• "What if we stayed?" "We?" 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

• "Evolution has a destination. Not to combat nature, but to superceed it. The final, glorious evolution." HE SAID IT, HE SAID THE THINGGG

• Ngl Viktor's hair is beautifulll

• You just tackle your ex-gf like that Cait?? No hello?

• "Dont sugarcoat it, Cupcake." ....*sobbing in the distance* ouch

• "We tracked some sort of new chemweapon down here. A bloodthirsty murderous beast. What are you doing here?" "... Trying to save... my dad."

• Are they gonna scheme? Please tell me they are gonna scheme

• Jinx: "I had some time to think lately. Ever since you dropped into my life, it's like I put on glasses. Except I can't tell whether everything's blurry or clear." What did I say, Isha stabilizes Jinx's mental state <3

• "Being patient. Mm, still haven't quite cracked that one, but being tied up sure helps." *wheezing* your honor I love her

• "Don't. Touch my daughter!" Screaming. I love that we see Vander protecting Powder/Jinx <3

• Viktor looks as Jayce and his eyes are the color they way before...before he became arcane Jesus

• The screaming is horrifying

• Vander is crying, you're crying, I'm crying

• Them fighting side by side T-T this cant go well

• The montage 😭😭😭😭😭😭

• Isha is crying, Jinx is cying, I am crying, throwing up scratching my eyes out

• Stop it. Isha being like a AU powder, where instead of if being an accident and chaotic, she wields the power she has with a target. Self-sacrificing.

• AMBESSA. She said "Sacrifice" FUCK. HIE DID I NOT CLOCK THAT

• Istg if Isha is dead. I feel so bad for both of them, bc their relationship was so obviously healing for both of them. Only to have it ripped out from under their feet in the most cruel way

• Writers when I catch you it is on sight

• How am I supposed to wait a week?? How can it be over in a week????

Airport Taxis Warwick: A Journey with Airport Express and Taxis

Hey there, travel enthusiasts and wanderers of the world! Have you ever found yourself in Warwick, the heart of England, seeking the perfect ride from the airport? Well, let me spin you a tale about my experience with airport taxis in Warwick, particularly with the remarkable folks at Airport Express and Taxis.

Touchdown in Warwick

Picture this: You've just landed at the airport, your mind buzzing with excitement (or maybe it's just the jet lag). You grab your luggage, hustle through the crowd, and there you are – ready to dive into the historic charm of Warwick. But wait, you need a ride. Enter the scene: Airport Express and Taxis, the knights in shining armor (or should I say, shining vehicles) ready to whisk you away.

First Impressions Last

I'll tell you this - first impressions matter, and these guys nailed it. Their cab wasn't just a cab; it was like my first step into the welcoming arms of Warwick. Clean, comfortable, and with a driver who greeted me with a smile so warm, it could've melted the English rain.

More Than Just a Ride

Now, folks, this wasn't your run-of-the-mill silent taxi ride where you awkwardly gaze out the window. No, sir! The driver, let's call him John, was a fountain of knowledge. As we zipped through the streets, John regaled me with tales of Warwick's rich history, its hidden gems, and yes, the best local eateries (because, let's face it, food is life).

Why Opt for Airport taxis Warwick?

So, why am I singing praises for Airport Express and Taxis? Well, let me break it down:

Professionalism: They were punctual, polite, and professional. In the world of airport taxis in Warwick, these guys are the real deal.

Local Insight: John wasn't just a driver; he was like my personal tour guide. I arrived knowing more about Warwick than I had ever imagined.

Comfort & Convenience: Travel can be a hassle, but their comfy and well-equipped cab made it a breeze.

Warwick: Not Just a Stopover

Now, let's chat a bit about Warwick. It's not just a dot on the map; it's a treasure trove of history, with Warwick Castle standing tall as a testament to its past. And the people? As friendly and welcoming as John from Airport taxis Warwick.

That One Time...

Let me paint you a picture: there we were, stuck in a bit of traffic, but did that dampen our spirits? Not a chance! John started sharing anecdotes about Warwick's past and present, turning what could have been a dull delay into an enjoyable and educational experience.

It's the Little Things

You know what sets a great service apart? Attention to detail. Water bottles, phone chargers, and even a few local tips - they had it all. These small gestures made a world of difference, making my ride not just a journey but an experience.

Wrapping It Up

So, my fellow travelers, when you find yourself in Warwick, in need of a ride from the airport, remember Airport Express and Taxis. They're not just a taxi service; they're your first chapter in the Warwick adventure. Safe travels and may your journeys be as delightful as mine!

so quick rant about champions we could see in arcane season 2 bc this show literally leaves me w nothing else in my little monke brain

we see Warwick in singed's lab at the end, so hes definitely there, i am SO EXCITED to see his arcane design. his League design is actually pretty solid and i love it, but i guess they can up the creep factor quite a bit, make him look "quite not there yet" ??

would he also have flashbacks as his days as vander? or maybe in singed's lab?? id be stoked to watch that

clan ferros afaik was already mentioned by Mel, and knowing how much exactly she's wrapped up in piltie politics, camille is a pretty strong contender to appear in season 2. i don't care to much of her lore because i hate her— but maybe she rises bc of the piltover-zaun war or something

if she does PLEASE MAKE HER LOOK OLD XD

OH I REMEMBERED SHE WOULD HELP UNCOVER WHO KIDNAPPED CAitlyn's parents (aka C), sO would that be what vi and cait be doing in season 2 ??

if orianna really is Singed's daughter, then i wanna see her human form, lowkey, but is that timeline already past? mayyhaps. i want her to appear tho she's an interesting champion and an even more interesting design sigh,,, viktor made the hex core, so like maybe if s2 is after a timeskip— orianna replaces her heart w a hexcore then?

also like singed lore along w her please

they're just both so interesting 😭😭

im like hoping season 2 brings viktor's story in the Frontlines and show his descent as the Machine Herald and the glorious revolution crap (its a fucking useful card tho lol) so then,, blitzcrank–,,, yes? yes ?? that's their name im p sure. blitzcrank being something of a pow-pow to viktor?? not really but ah– blitzcrank, nonetheless

i dunno if it was just me or there were ravens around jinx in some scenes?? with noxus being established as at the brink of a war (?) with ionia? demacia? or the revolt where Darius overthrew boram darkwill??

[ wait is mama medarda like, a warlord or zamindar or what? im not sure ]

but anyway, ravens. they're a symbol thingy for Swain- do we get him ?? i wish we do. he's got a pretty design im love him ,, also ,, "faces in the flames. it was all her fault,"

darius too, maybe?

maybe a little bit of stretch but renata glasc too,, maybe? the chembarons cOULD appear, and in that case the one who's torturing urgolt ? verros?? urgolt? glasc? unlikely but yeah

DR MUNDO! how could i forget him,, now that shimmer's in the scene, he could possibly appear too, as another one of Singed's experiments, not very major of a character, just more of a uyh "delve-into" Singed

okay i actually forgot how he was created but if chembarons are present then he might be too is all im saying,,

ziggs is an interesting one, i think i heard he's jinx's one night stand or something lmaooo– no she thinks he's a hallucination of hers im jk

he's also heimerdinger's assistant so yep he's got a chance to be there

okay the serious ones outta the way

here's the ones i wanna see

Janna: i think s1 is pre-people beginning to worship Janna, and s2 after it

Seraphine: please tell me she has a bigger role to play and that she actually uses her powers to help people

Draven and Riven bc i just like them and riven's my wife

Day 8- Swim, clay and personal space.

Day 8

Today is going to be a busy day and I wake up and put on my swimming costume before doing anything else. 

If that isn't a wild start to a Tuesday, I don't know what is.

I get the tube to Victoria (one stop before my usual Pimlico) and head to the Queen Mother Sports Centre to go for a swim. It is odd getting off here. There have been major delays on the railways and the space is buzzing with frantic energy. Everyone is passing through. No one seems to stop. I down a coffee from cafe-disgusting-Nero before my swim. It is interesting wandering in a mad sea of people who are rushing. I like to guess what job they have and I wonder what they think I do when they look at me. If they look at me. There was a man on the tube this morning swearing at his laptop. I wondered what his day was going to be like. It is funny taking the tube every morning and being in this transient space. It gives me energy and I feel part of the crowd, but it is also so transient and so isolating. A swelling day population and I'm just one of them. As I walk towards Pimlico however, and towards the pool, the swell of people calms. I sit outside the pool and wait until 10am as I sip my coffee before I go in. I am enjoying sticking to the timetable as well as I can, This is the little bit of structure surrounded by unknown activities. 

The pool is quite this time in the morning. There are maybe only 5 people in the pool and we are all spread out. Absolute luxury. At first I notice how calm and clean the pool is. There are sheets hanging on the wall which contain workout guides. One for strength, one for cardio and there is one sheet titled ‘silver’ for elderly people. This one looks the most used, and 4 out of 5 of the people swimming today all have silver hair. This is inviting for me as the pace is relaxed. Im not ready to try and fight for a place in the pool. My last experience in Stoke Newington pool was not pleasant, whereas this is already a great experience. I stay for 45 minutes until the local schools start playing on the flumes and distracting the tranquility of the unified breast strokes happening in our orderly lanes. I hear two elderly men in the slow lane laugh with each other. Up until this point I have only spoken to two people today, and that makes me feel a little sad. Most other days I would have spoken to many people by this time. Swimming is also a lonely sport I feel, it is easy to be in your own head. Running for example, keeps your eyes busy and you get to smile at other runners. It is so easy it is to be out in the community, doing an activity in a shared space, but still lack engagement with another human. Later on in Tesco on Lupas Street I wait to pay for my nut bar and notice that the line for the tills run by a real human cashier are almost twice as long as self service. Never have I seen this in another supermarket before. A simple chore is buying food, but for older people, lonely people, it might be the little interaction they get in a day. 

After swimming, and sporting a beautiful chlorine barnet, I make my way towards Thames Bank centre. I pop into a few charity shops on the way. In both there are lots of young people, both working and shopping. Its nice to see some 20 somethings and when I buy a dress (which I now regret buying) we have a little laugh. Its nice to have this, and its interesting how the demographic has changed.  

Like the market at the weekend, it is wonderful to look in a charity shop and see the identity of a place and area. I think charity shops, and a sharing of items and style is a wonderful way to get to understand a place. There is a great book titled ‘the Comfort of Things’ (2008) by Daniel Miller in which the author, and anthropologist, goes into a London tower block to speak to people about their belongings and asks the owners to tell their stories. It is a wonderful and deeply personal book which unifies through difference, all around a backdrop of belongings. Charity shops for local areas remind me of this. I find comfort in buying something which has its own story. 

Thames bank centre is hosting ETAT (Encouragement through the arts and talking). I turn up a little early and walk into a room full of chatting, and laughing and there is clay everywhere. I walk in and have to introduce myself to everyone in the room. Everyone is elderly and they are all chatting away while deep into their clay. There is some confusion about who I am. I am there to come along to the class and do the chair exercises. This however gets misinterpreted that I am leading the chair exercise sessions. I don't really understand and go along with it. This has been the best approach to most of the activities. I start making clay into an underwater theme and then, luckily, like an act of god, the chair exercise instructor turns up and I'm off the hook. It makes everyone giggle. 

I am overwhelmed by the sense of community in the room, and once again this free, easy and non comital environment. The space is like a loud living room with clay everywhere and people come and go. Like a living room exactly. There is a range of ages, though I hear the oldest is 97. Once again I am the youngest, but this is something with invigorates me today, excites even. I feel like it is a space I would come to completely by myself. I sit next to a lady who I went on the Warwick trip with and we laugh about her attention to detail while making her ceramic tile compared with my botch job attempt. Yes thats right, I am an ‘Artist’. I speak to Jane and Karen (Who runs CAVE in Pimlico) about ETAT. They are far reaching and busy people. Pimlico million was set up by Jane who shows me videos and photos from events, exhibitions and footage of her singing at SouthWest Fest. They are currently preparing for an art show and ETAT have even recorded an album. However I am told that the album has a parental advisory because many swear words are sang throughout the song…. Again, the eldest member is 97. I'll just leave that there. What is apparent is how both Jane and Karen, and everyone for that matter, are connected to the community. They seem completely involved in its development. They make it feel this way just by  simply knowing everyones name. There is power in naming.  

Im a little anxious when I meet Jane and Karen, because I am nervous to be seen as a threat to existing services. It has been a challenge explaining why I am coming along to activities which haven't seen a new, or young, member in many moons. I stand out. I feel like a cultural probe at times. However, I'm also there for me. I am interested and excited by these activities and interactions separate from the schedule, the blog, and the cash to eat breakfast. 

We begin chair class in the corner of the huge room. There are around seven of us, all with a mixture of abilities. Emily who is in a wheel chair, a woman with dementia, Barney who is a Chelsea pensioner and wont stop laughing and then me who is giggling along with the energy of the place. We dance to music in our seats which are arranged in a circle. We play volleyball and Barney throws a mean punch. Its fun and I'm happy. I loose track of time and have to run out. 

Later on in the day, after a visit to Victoria library, I head over to the London Mayor’s Parlour to observe the council meeting of the health and wellbeing board. Im early and then I'm late and then I'm lost. Being lost is hard and I wonder what this residency would be like without a phone. Even more, without a schedule. It makes me see even clearer the obstacles in leaving an area where you grew up when you don't have the funds, the ability or the confidence to leave. It is easy to ‘other’ the next streets across the busy road. It is then easy to other the next community, the young teenagers, the refugees. I wonder how much of a knock on effect this inability to access certain spaces shapes us. Urban geography shapes us. 

The streets as you leave Pimlico become busy with suits and men who are walking like they mean business. The buildings get taller and it becomes striking that you have left pimlico. Again, the city scape, the gardens and the design of Churchill Gardens and the surrounding area give you a sense of a village. It is protected. I am desperate to draw this- desperate to map it out. 

I eventually arrive to the building I need to be at. In the foyer but the woman at reception tells me the meeting was last week. The only one today is on transport. I feel a little embarrassed but mainly because I'm a bubbly sweaty mess and everyone is in navy blue suits, not sweating and cool as a business man shaped cucumber. I ask to use the toilet but she says no, so I leave. 

It Is nice walking back to Pimlico and towards the library. I don't need a map anymore and that gives me confidence and a sense of belonging. I know where streets are and have a sense within me like a homing pigeon for the library. 

The day takes a turn and while waiting outside the library in the sunshine I get a personal call with some bad news. I am outside the library in Pimlico, but on the phone feeling very emotional. I am here in Pimlico but I'm transported into my life in Tottenham, in Edinburgh. I wish to be in these places now. I try and clean myself up to go into knitting, but when I walk in I notice only two people sat in the space outside the toilets,  knitting at speed in complete silence. It is not the right space for me at this moment. This is the only time I have felt an overwhelming sense of being in a place which isn't mine. I want someone to talk to who knows me and I want to be with my friend. I crave something normal in an abnormal situation and after abnormal news? For the rest of my night I isolate myself. I get off the tube at one point to isolate myself. To be in control. Its demanding giving all the time during the residency. I am always trying to bring energy. It takes energy to walk into a room, to try and engage someone, to listen to long stories, to listen to upset and to ideas you don't agree with. Even the stories which are happy and interesting, it takes energy. I know I bring energy to what I have been doing. I bring a genuine interest and care and a giddiness to talk and connect. I wonder how much I have given of myself. I told the women who I sat with at choir how nervous I was to sing and walk into the room, and it was in this activity which I felt most happiest, and most transformed when I left to go home. I wonder if I should have gone into knitting but be open and honest about how I was feeling and what had just happened to me merely 3 minutes before. How would this have felt? With action research I am aware of mutuality and transparency. It has been this. But I wonder if I had pushed it a little further, and let go of this need to make people feel good and happy and just talked about me, how would this change the residency and my interactions? I wonder if this had happened just before choir, would I have gone in? What is it about knitting club which meant that in that situation I couldn't walk in and be with the sadness I had just received? I believe it was the intensity of the situation, and the fact it was only two knitters sat in the library space. Even more so after this, I celebrate how all the activities and groups I have attended are relaxed and casual. One doesn't have to commit to a 5 week course going every Thursday night. Life happens. 

I am someone who recharges my batteries alone and I don't want to talk about hard subject with strangers. I know how to self sooth, how to get back the sunshine. I feel bad I didn't go in but in this moment it wasn't right. It has also shone light on the need for flexible activities in a community which inevitable will encounter childcare problems, ill health ect. Its about designing a service which despite all of what life can throw at someone, the service will continue to be outwards reaching. I think there is value and need for creating something which can be someones fall back. That in despite of sadness, loneliness or not feeling like leaving the sofa, one doesn't feel lonely and isolated from the culture and happenings of the community.

I go home and have a bath, watch some Netflix and I draw a quick drawing of a lobster. I also listen to Stormzy. Lots of Stormzy.

The People and the Planet

The places we walk write poetry, but the people we are with create the places we walk. Be careful where you tread.

I cannot see: the route around the corner or the small woods alongside the back path or that place itself without thinking- of a morning we waited with baited breath, or the evenings in ease as we sang and drank and hoped our childish joy at adult delights could be heard from outside. Times we created a space that could not be recreated.

The University may tell us The Slate is a conference centre, but we were there when it was Our Occupation, its halls echoing with the sound(s) of resistance. They may turn up the speakers to drown us out, but nothing can contain the voices of youth- full of love. We accepted this experience to be unique and stand alone, so more poems have come from these weeks than we read to each other inside. And we made art, on cardboard and in photographs, and tunes strummed quietly on a guitar.

Although we carry these beauteous creations around now, they belong to Our Occupation, just as much as we belong to it- and it belongs to us. This space is sacred- even now (!) it has been defiled by the business people who bring strife and inequality into its precious rooms. These days it longs for our return; for its fulfilment. When we trampled in mud and hope, it rewarded us: its/our safety and ecstasy made us almost divine, no matter how broken so many of us are. Proof marginalised people can exist in this world happily, given a place and space and autonomy. Some would interpret our relationship to the building as one that deified the occupants, but this is unfair. Rather, we simply were allowed to exercise our own free-will. The oppressed taking control of some part of their lives is so foreign → alien → undesirable to some that they can only see us as malevolent dictators (the powerful have blamed those with less power for the existence of power).

In the winter’s cold nights, light filtered in from the high windows there weren’t blinds for, so ever-bright, the clarity of camaraderie and wisdom illuminated us. We learnt something new about life, the world, each other- every moment. Enlightened to our potential, upon entry we made the toilets gender-neutral and drew over the binaries they had once represented. The speakers extended to the bathrooms, so we played the music of fun throughout the whole area; my fondest memories are of brushing teeth with friends after a long day and finding joy in the odd intimacy of it all.

And there was an intimacy. We all slept in the same room- we said for warmth. But truly, it was to become close and foster trust among each other, until at the end of the first dramatic week we laughed and sang Les Misérables. Management had heard the people sing, and laugh and cry and become one voice over the wind. Still we were in awe at an industrial dishwasher and walk-in fridge, so we filled the kitchen with humus and collective responsibility to keep Our Occupation tidy. Those heavy desks told us “anything is possible”; we proved that all fourteen days we lived there, and I hope management see that and think- ‘a rag-tag group of young people with a cause held an entire building for a fortnight’- we cost a few hundred thousand pounds in damages, but a lot more in propriety. Because for the first time on Warwick University grounds, the collective/we belonged. Belonged in a way none of us did in our first-year accommodation or in common rooms. We had made that environment and treasured it. So occupying became an art we had mastered. Respect and resistance and recognition. Our collective name is engraved deeper than even the walls now, and so The Slate belongs forever to Warwick For Free Education.

But what of Senate House? Some stories are not good ones. Brutality. Screams. Unjust. I watched. The video of that infamous day for the first time and could not hold back tears, still brought to desperation knowing how friends suffered. Like some fucked up Holy Day, I remember December 3rd 2014, when three were arrested, but a day later the protest was a thousand strong and their occupation opened the eyes of so many who stayed after that, and still resides in those whose hearts are open to resistance. And they try to tell me that religion is dying. So I’ll have faith in a day I didn’t see and try to hold dear those who suffered so that JUSTICE/PEACE might take root.

So, I will well up every time I must go into that place, and think of all the horrible things there and try to figure out where [redacted] was standing when they got dragged away and sprayed with CS gas, and where [redacted] ran to try to stop an arrest, and how [redacted] was forced outside with lights glaring and cried- the screams haunting the lobby.

It is said, to take your pain and make it into something beautiful is an art. I say taking your pain and making it is beautiful all on its own. The ability to feel what you feel, acknowledge it and to create something from it, to twist it into something you can hold, to mould yourself around the shape of pain and hold on is beautiful. Surviving pain is an art, and you hold the paint brush. Although I can never experience what they did, I shall write my pain in this knowledge and hope I have done enough. Because chest tight fists clenched heart palpitation feet ready to run and mind whirring is not how I should feel giving in my key to reception. This is not the reaction of someone not deeply disturbed, and generational trauma can be condensed into university overturn. We are learning to overcome this- somehow.

I must remind myself some moments we move the landscape are not ones of fear and media buzzing, but of everyday life. Although the flat I lived in last year feels desolate and distant to me, the path towards it is enlightened with the memories of walks with friends before we would go separate ways. [The first time we hung out, I did not know if it was a date, or how to understand their lack of words, but] Or another day, with a new companion we wrote the words in our heart onto those styrofoam letters across the university, and once again Warwick For Free Education was written, inside a heart. The letters only stayed the rest of the week but we still collaborated to cover our campus with giggles and protest and belonging: that week navigating campus was the easiest it had ever been.

When two different groups convened on some bench, a gust of nature/poetry told me to commit this moment to memory for when I feel sad- and so this bench sings of contentment. I remember how the sun came out for the first time in months, so we sat for hours without getting cold and drank bad beer. So many hours spent preparing what I had to say, but it felt so worth it. Or in their small room, like mine, filled with food and laughter and the casual intimacy that comes with close spaces and closer friends. Going to a talk and advertising a boycott and- for once- everyone laughed. Mocking our mental illness(es) but feeling alive and free despite it all. I have remembered. This day and the places we made.

We have made this wasteland, once barren of passion and heart, bearable- not quite home, but a place we could be. So we were, we are, and the poetry of protest chants shall continue to grow from the crude soil, rough and through weed killer, beautiful in resistance. On a campus so artificial, where nothing is natural and the conditions so harsh, we shall continue to grow through the cracks, accomplishing what few others today can do: we find our roots firm, because they are entwined together, in solidarity forever. Maybe one day our hard work will bloom into the song of a generation. Resonating off the halls of Our Occupation.

Best League of Legends Pick-Up Lines

One of the League of Legends humor categories that was simply stuffed was the pick-up line category. Now, only a girl (or a guy) who actually played LOL would get these jokes. Anyone else would simply look at you as if you were crazy. There were hundreds and hundreds of jokes in this category, but we didn’t have the room for all of them, so we pared them down to some of the ones that made us chuckle. Remember, you use these jokes at your own risk. If you don’t have a significant other, you probably won’t after you use these pick-up lines either. If you already do have a partner, then you might be without one if you use these lines on them too. Let’s take a look at some of the best League of Legends pick-up lines.

Damn, if being sexy was a crime, I’d have to call Sheriff Caitlyn because you’re guilty as charged.

Girl you’re like draven – spinning me around town.

The League of Legends URF/NURF April Fool’s Joke

One of the jokes that we found to be the funniest didn’t actually come from the players. Many players will remember the URF and NURF April Fool’s jokes that Riot trolled everyone with if they have been playing LOL for any length of time. If you are new to the game, or for some reason, you haven’t heard about these, then allow us to enlighten you, because this was really a great prank, and the fact that Riot was able to change it and do it again – and fool everyone again – made it even better.

Okay, so the story starts with URF – a new game mode that the company claimed was going to be introduced temporarily to see how it worked out. The developer called it URF, which stood for Ultra Rapid Fire. It was supposed to make everything thousands of times faster, including attack speed, movement, crit damage and even gold was supposed to increase. Mana costs and cooldown times were also supposed to have gone up. Of course, the company made this announcement just before April 1st, and it turned out to be an April Fool’s Joke.

But then, they brought it back once again, this time calling it NURF (for New Ultra Rapid Fire) and it had the following specifications:

+100% mana and energy cost on all abilities

+200% cooldown inflation on abilities, items and summoner spells

+225 movement speed reduction

+200% delay between basic attacks

Critical strikes deal 50% of base AD

Units critically strike on 150% of attacks

Of course, that was exactly the opposite of “URF” and this one wasn’t real either. It was just another April Fool’s joke that fooled people..again.
