This is Alt Sam and Max after the whole saving Sam's brain and stinky bit...

Sam actually had the guts to get down on one knee and purpose to him.

Jinx and Caitlyn are officially my favorite parallels this season and I love what the show is doing.

Jinx and Cait simultaneously lost a parent and were then immediately thrusted into a some measure of responsibility— Caitlyn as sheriff, Jinx as a parental figure and almost a partner to Sevika. And despite their upbringings and past history, they pivot to unexpected directions.

Jinx grieves Silco in the River and let’s him go. We’ve only seen Jinx hallucinate once in these three episodes, and it was Silco asking her if she was ready to go. As she exits the river, it intercuts with scenes from last season of her baptism with Silco in the same river. Jinx has finally decided who she is, and without Silco to make her worse (love him, but he did), she almost immediately begins on a path of healing. She rebuilds past relationships by connecting with Sevika, they mutually commiserate Silco’s memory, and then she makes a gift for Sevika as a bid for connection. She even begrudgingly builds a new relationship with Isha, who has basically imprinted on her like a duck.

Cait’s first appearance is being one of the only clear things in the stylized backdrop of her mothers funeral. The scratchy style of some parts are even reminiscent of Jinx’s visual hallucinations. People reach out to Caitlyn, and while she doesn’t necessarily push them away at first, she isn’t communicating effectively. Her and her dad have a brief conversation and she springs the enforcer badge on Vi with no context. By episode three, she’s almost entirely isolated herself from her former support system, told her girlfriend that she’s not “one of the good ones”, and uses the responsibility she’s been given as a weapon.

Caitlyn learns about the air ducts through her mother’s key, which are specifically for directing clean air into Zaun, and immediately weaponizes it. Not sure how long Jinx has known ab them, but she’s actually the one who uses the ducts to direct clean air into Zaun. And she’s the terrorist!!

Caitlyn’s weapons get upgraded to be more brutal, efficient killing machines. We’ve seen Jinx use her gun, obviously, but one of her bombs is simply filled with glitter. Sevika’s arm is decked out to play music, shoot fireworks, even has a punch option, which isn’t very effective if you’re going for the kill. They’re still weapons, but they’re fun, and arguably less dangerous than the hex core and more authentic to Jinx’s personality. Even the paint in clearing out the air ducts is just that- paint. She could have weaponized it, and chose not to.

Even the small things characterize them! Jinx channels her grief into a creative outlet, while Caitlyn searches for catharsis through violence! A good example is when she seeks catharsis by shooting the cardboard figure of jinx at the pop up gun range.

They’re both trying to find final closure through killing someone, they’re being thrust into roles of leadership, they’ve lost a parent, they now both have a complicated relationship with Vi. I’m really excited to see how things develop, as Jinx about to become the symbol of Zaun and Caitlyn has just become a puppet dictator.

Tamil Nadu Police added three pups to their canine squad called Carlos, Charles, and Lando.....

[spookyscarywoodrow]

new young justice comic run but it’s all of their crimes catching up to them. oh, who’s that knocking on their door? space police. who’s that right next to them? magic police. who’s standing behind them? time police. who’s standing to the side of them? regular police. who’s standing behind all of them? you’ll never guess-

I hate how many of us physically disabled people have been harassed by street preachers because they see us as a way to prove their faith instead of actual human beings

[glorious-spoon]

it would be fucking great if cops could figure that homeless people existing in public spaces like the library does not constitute a safety issue that requires their intervention

[lynsstrange]

Someone pointed out the parallel of Caitlyn trading her gun to help heal Vi in season one versus her lashing out and hitting Vi with it in season two and im. Not well

[bogglle]

wanted to doodle my festive max plush 💙

it’s so telling that the ultra-wealthy are suddenly so worried about violence when it’s against a ceo but couldn’t be bothered by the hundreds of school shootings that have happened over the years

Welcome to arcane s2 where we have:

The dumbass friend duo. Somehow putting one of the smartest guy and the best fighter piltover/zaun has to offer in a duo cancels them both out. They only have one braincell and it's somehow with Caitlyn. Their only accomplishments are killing a child and missing point blank(Their target was as big as the hulk) with a fucking cannon. (Vi and Jayce)

Or

-The duo that can't stand each other but has to work because Plot. The moment they met, they instantly start insulting and dead naming each other. If they had more screen time, they would be the duo that would throw slurs at each other when arguing while at the same time, finding the cure to cancer. They still have one braincell but they do manage to take turns with it. (Jinx and Viktor)
