At this point I think they didn’t let any of the main girls be queer for each other because they knew that literally any two girls together would’ve made the most earth shaking power couple and the entire show would cease to function. They lived in fear I think ❤️

Arcane talk about season 2 and expectations

My biggest gripe with people who don't like S 2 because they feel it didn't take some of the themes far enough is that it's arguably really mean to the characters. It's fair to want more from the story, I also just want more as I'm greedy and I love the series. I'd have loved to let things cook more, to just have more in general and have some things spelled out with more time.

But it's cruel to the characters to say they wanted Jinx to be out of her mind, for Vi and Jinx to be revolutionaries, for Caitlyn to receive harsher punishment. For things to be more fucked up. It would've made an interesting story I'm sure, if it's handled well but what we got is good as it stands.

I'm not saying my way of interpretation and feeling is right, what I am saying is that yours isn't either. It's all personal. There are valid criticisms but from a CHARACTER driven story it wasn't about a big revolutionary war it was how these characters react in these circumstances.

Vi is a lover and not a fighter in spite of her using her fists, it's always been a means to protect those she loves. On a smaller scale, you could argue that by changing the system she's protecting them too. I don't think so though, she's the most normal ass character in the show and if you were in her position you'd do fuck all about a revolution and I'd bet money on that. Her actions, feelings and consequences are realistic and down to earth, I think. It's cruel to put her in a war position to defend a body of people when she really only wanted to be around and love her family. That is a common feeling among real people in real life. That's a little boring to some I'm sure but I like that she wasn't a hero. She was also imprisoned for 7 years so I think she deserves to stay on the bench.

Jinx also deserves a fucking break too. She never cared about a revolution either and it boggles my mind people want to force her into this position. Her actions had consequences and results that benefited the people of Zaun, and by acting in ways she thinks Silco will reward her with love she acts against Piltover. She doesn't like Piltover but she was a symbol against her will. Her goal was never ever freeing Zaun, her actions just benefited them. I know it's a story and that these are characters but Jinx is a "person" who was deeply traumatized by a violent and unjust world. Not a revolutionary hero, if that's anyone it's Ekko with a community he went out of his way to build.

It seems like people are mad she found a break and a space to heal with Isha. They're mad her character wasn't used as the will-less symbol Zaun wanted her to be too. They're mad they didn't write a different story about the struggles and actions it takes to change a society of people with a power difference. It wasn't ABOUT that, it was how it impacts people, how these characters react in this situation. We get many different stories about how the conflict could've ended, we get teases and tastes. It's not an action series or revolutionary tale, it's a tragedy. Not that it can't have hints of the other subjects as well but mainly it's just a tragedy, in one of the universes where events play out exactly as they did.

In another universe, you can have your revolution, you can have your destruction of power, and a tale about equity. You can have characters all uniting towards one common goal and bringing down the oppressive Piltover. It's possible! But it isn't Arcane and it never really was, not told with the universe we were shown.

I've reached season 5 on my CSI rewatch and I'm a few episodes past "Swap Meet", where a woman is murdered after attending a swing party with other couples from the neighbourhood. Near the end of the episode there's a moment that made me jump from my seat:

(Grissom walks up to Sara and takes the seat next to her. He's holding two cups. He hands her a cup of tea.)

[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - BRASS' OFFICE]

Erin Brady: Everybody fantasizes about other people. (She glances at Grissom.)

Even you, Mr. Grissom. A neighbor, a friend ... girl at the office.

[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - HALLWAY]

(The door opens. Paul Brady walks out of the hallway. Erin Brady walks out into the hallway. Sara is sitting in the hallway chair watching them. She watches as they meet and kiss.)

(Grissom walks up to Sara and takes the seat next to her. He's holding two culps. He hands her a cup of tea.)

LIKE!!!!!!!

Right after Erin ends her sentence with 'girl at the office', the first time Sara and Grissom meet again, he brings her tea. This might be an innocent interaction but to me it seemed like a nod to this relationship they have where both are into each other, know about the other's feelings, but can't/won't do anything about it (although Sara has kind of given Grissom an ultimatum). I don't know if it was intentional - I'm guessing it is, because I picked it up immediately. I might or might not have squealed in delight.

veilguard fucking rocks dude i go from learning earth shattering lore about my favorite guy by talking to a fragment of one of the gods to going on a haunted mansion ghost hunt with emmrich where the evil necromancer at the end all but flips us off and does a backflip into a fade rift. like back to back quests here. i love it. peak dragon age.

[orcelito]

Also sorry I'm inevitably gonna b talking a lot about the breakup bc I got a lot of feelings to process. I sure didn't see it coming, so I didn't get any time to prepare for it.

i was gonna make a joke about society being perfect if ratchet had stayed a woman instead of getting changed because 80s hasbro sucked, but then i remembered what fandoms were like with any woman character who dared to be a little grumpy or mean (or just exist) and i realized something

these two would've been 2010s fandom's biggest nightmare if that had happened

[quietwingsinthesky]

You’re such a dog i bet if one of us told you to bark, you’d post it

Fucking do it then, coward.

[potentiallyangstyrandomthoughts]

Got called sir by a stranger while delivering pizza. Realized I can't remember the last time a stranger gendered me correctly. It felt really nice. Felt even better that it was a guy too like yes pls see me as one of you.

[synthaphone]

Synth, you got me to grab UFO 50 like a month back since you were talking about it and it seemed really cool when I looked into it. I was trying to just like, play each game a bit then go back and finish/perfect the ones I liked, but i straight up couldn't make myself stop playing the horror game until I was done with the plot and I managed to cherry it first try :B I just wondered what you thought of that one, I thought it was fully fascinating, I love escape games and old school point n clicks

omg. this is embarrassing but

its the one UFO 50 game i haven't tried yet...

i heard it was really good!!! but also kind of scary, so i was like 'oh i'll play it with my partner for halloween' and then i forgot and i haven't gone back to play it yet. i want to get around to it though!!
