#powder arcane season two

[rosabell14]

Can we all agree that Silco was obviously responsible for Powder/Jinx's amazing hairstyles in all timelines?

one thing I find really interesting about these frames is that if you look at the background (instead of the heartwrenching focus of the frame) piltover looks different

like physically, without hextech, piltover doesn't reach as high. the gap between zaun and piltover is lessened. and there's the different between healthy, vibrant plants and twisted chain link fences. also the amount of light, AND there's more stars in powder's universe, implying the air is clearer. god this show is good.

CORRECTION: power and gwen are the same people in different fonts

ekko and jinx are miles and gwen variants

[your-senpaaaai]

guys maybe im going crazy and starting to overanalyse everything in arcane BUT LISTEN

one thing I kept noticing in s2ep7 (which I rewatched an insane amount of times) is how different powder's mimics are from jinx's

like even when her expressions are pretty calm and she's not smiling ear to ear she has SMILE LINES !!!! I've watched arcane a bunch of times and never noted out the same for jinx. yes we see her screaming/crying etc and her mimics are obviously expressive in those moments but when she's not experiencing some crazy shit her face is just kinda blank ??

a lot of people have already said how powder is taller, has different physics and healthier skin tone and I think her expressions is another thing that shows how much her and jinx's lives are not alike

she has a ton of reasons to smile every day while we've barely seen jinx do it :(((( powder is happy and it's literally marked on her face :((((

But I got something going now. A friend. And I don't wanna mess it up. Maybe that's what I was like for you.

ARCANE SEASON 2

[guillotinedream]

I think the most heartbreaking thing about arcane is that there is CANONICALLY a universe where everyone lives, everyone is happy and everything is undeniably better, for everyone- its the only thing vi’s ever wanted. For her family to be whole and thriving, but she isnt there to see it because she died. Everything she ever wanted and she’ll never know. Devastating

Ekko: oh my gods I can finally have Powder back even if it's for a short While! I get to tell Benzo that I love him. I have the comfort of knowing they're alright in another timeline. My inner child is healing!

Meanwhile Jayce: Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death-

I like how despite it being more subtle, Vi also has her own hallucinations. It's not as distorted and exaggerated as her sister's, but its realism has its own feeling of uneasiness throughout the show.

In season 1, we get glimpses of that through her hallucinations of Powder, then in season 2, we see it through those of Caitlyn.

I just find it so fascinating, given that Vi also talks about her own monsters in season 1 (i.e. her conversation with Caitlyn "then a real monster showed up"). And I also find it interesting how these hallucinations of hers always depict an idealized / perfect version of the person. I mean, we also see this in how she envisions Vander.

So when this scene comes, we do wonder at first if this is a hallucination (albeit realistic) of Vi's.

It makes the line when Jinx asks her "which one?" in response to Vi calling her a psycho hit harder. In the end, they're still sisters and have things in common.

A quick Analysis of Grown-Up Mylo and Claggor:

Mylo was always the insecure middle child looking for attention, and we see bits of those traits have survived in the slightly ostentatious way he dresses compared to his siblings, and the sarcastic way he greets Ekko. While everyone else is drinking from old steins, he's waving around a cocktail glass. And of course there's his weedy little moustache, which like all young men his age was grown mostly for the novelty, and because he thinks it makes him look older.

Claggor meanwhile was the awkward second-eldest sibling who often shared Vi's sense of responsibility, but not her confidence or authority. This changed when Vi died, and evidently Claggor has taken over her duties as the eldest. He's leading efforts to clean up the undercity, and was the one who tells Powder to help out Mylo, to give some examples. His manner of dress is also the most practical of his siblings, with accessories chosen not for style, but because they assist in his work.

Lastly, I feel I should touch on how Powder is so quick to play wingman for Mylo. Obviously everyone's matured since they were kids, but this specifically tells me two things:

1. Mylo must have stopped bullying Powder after Vi died, and she now views him quite fondly.

2. Powder understands her brother's bravado is an act, and actively helps him with his lack of confidence.

If I had to guess, Vi's death hit Mylo almost as hard as it hit Powder. Grief often leaves us vulnerable, which is probably what allowed the pair to properly share their feelings and bond as siblings. Nothing builds empathy like personal tragedy, after all.
