Something about AU Vander telling AU Powder she's "too smart to spend her life in a bar" vs telling AU Ekko (as far as he knows, anyway) that he thinks he'd be "running this place soon" makes the latter almost seem like an insult.

#everyone insisting Powder should be changing the world kind of fits with what the maintimeline has going on #only kinda bc if anything Jinx needs some peace and less responsibility and fewer revolutions and struggle and all that #but also if i were AU powder #who grew up dirt poor and lost both her parents and then her sister #and after a long period of grieve and strive #things look up #everyone is recovering (from poverty) and better physically and mentally #and i decided to chill out and remain close to my family in my chosen profession #and everyone kept telling me i should be more ambitious and change the world #i'd be biting people #or maybe vander meant ekko'd be running the undercity but doubt that's the intention of the line #anyway the entire episode's focus on powder kind of annoyed me #not in the sense that she's present but in the sense that every little detail is more about her than ekko #vander says ekko should be proud of himself bc powder's been raving about his z-drive and she hasn't looked so alive in a long time #as if the merit of the zdrive is that it made powder feel better and not that it's an amazing invention ekko plans to enter a competition w #and it would be fine if almost every conversation wasn't like that #but ekko never wonders about the firelights or asks claggor about his plant invention (which would be revolutionary for his undercity)#or even wonders about AU ekko's /his own AU's self apparently rather unhealthy mental state #the only conversations ekko has in this episode that aren't through the lense of powder are exposition with heimer and his hug with benzo #if anything powder's nonreaction to ekko's mood swings #worries and altered personality kind of implies that it doesn't matter to her #or the writers who exactly ekko is in this relationship or what her feelings are about him #but i'm getting ahead of myself #arcane #arcane season 2 #arcane spoilers #ekko #arcane meta
