my true (respectful) thoughts of arcane s2
so much of the promotional material promised so much in the way of vi and jinx/powder and their sisterly relationship, but i feel like with the amount of storylines/plotlines they did in this season, it was just too busy to focus on anyone–let alone the two supposed protagonists of the show. i think the best way for me to articulate how i feel about the writing of this show is that it fell flat, lost its heart, and emotional impact of the first season.
i would have been okay with them straying from my personal favourite focus if:
the storylines had been fleshed out better
the decisions the characters made actually made sense
main characters didn't become plot devices (vi)
new additions of the show weren't just plot devices (isha, loris, maddie, etc.)
motivations of characters made sense
characters had even small lines/dialogue to articulate their intentions/ideas
less time spent on off-screen development
and the thing is with the amount of plot lines they were ambitiously aiming to see out to fruition, its really hard to also set up all these new facets or opposing characteristics in former characters–plus adding new ones too. for example:
caitlyn's facist arc that didn't really have much meaning or attention
jinx's s1 mental collapse which changed abruptly into her redemption arc via isha (plot device)
jinx's revolutionist arc (first, reluctantly and then, willingly w ekko)
vi's pitfighter/brawler arc which was literally just one clip (which ended up being a teaser that showed everything)
im almost grateful to the minimal screen time ekko got bc they didn't try to change the core and essence of who he was in s1: he stayed true to himself. he's just a boy with a huge heart and love for his people that chose to leave his happy ending in an alternate timeline to return to the ppl who needed him where he is almost guaranteed heartbreak in some way or another.
i think the main reason so many ppl loved the first season was bc the characters were relatable in one way or another and they became so multidimensional when you explored how their environment/circumstances shaped them. but this season bc it was so purely focused on the endgame instead of HOW everyone got there, the characters fell flatter, they lost a soul and heart, and i felt the show lost its charm.
i know we all have our favourite characters and storylines we want the show to focus on and i would have been okay if i didn't get my way. if the show didn't focus on jinx and vi, i would've lived (although the promotional material was unfairly misleading) if the storylines, characters, and everything else made sense to me.
of course, the animation was lovely and the music was catchy/heartbreaking. i dont regret watching the show out to its final episode. it was one of the most beautiful visual experiences of my entire life. i still love the characters and will never regret staying on board until the final moments.
but i cant lie and say im not a little sad at how it ended too.
edited add-on:
also, the voice actors did phenomenally. ella purnell just absolutely nails the delivery for every line and reed shannon also hurt me with how he portrayed ekko. so on and so forth.
but that being said, i also felt the dialogue and lines of each character felt much less impactful this season (again, writing.)
i liked viktor’s monologue at the end of act 2. that was compellingly well written
but the lines this season weren’t the same quality as silco’s monologue about drowning, jinx’s speech at the beginning of the doomed tea party, etc. everything just felt so flat and shallow this season overall.
#arcane critique#arcane league of legends#arcane#league of legends#i want ppl to know i dont regret watching the show and seeing it out#this is all subjective to me#i understand some ppl still liked it#im not here to change anyone's minds#but after sitting with the end of the season#this is how i feel#vi#jinx#ekko#caitlyn kiramman#ambessa#mel#viktor#jayce talis#silco#vander#warwick#vi and powder#powder and vi#jinx and vi#vi and jinx#arcane jinx and vi#arcane vi and jinx

arcane s2 act 2
so my main criticism of act 1 was that everything felt rushed. that has not gotten better lol
i knew going in that two seasons -- of nine episodes, and short 40 minute episodes at that -- was probably going to be too little. and it is. well. what can you do, i guess. i'm glad this isn't my number 1 fandom interest the way it was in 2022 because if it were i'd be much more bothered lol. many of the beats we're hitting are beats i like on paper but we are blitzing through them so fast they have no time to breathe or sink in before we're onto the next one.
also i respect the huge amount of effort that goes into creating an animated series that looks the way this looks, but these episodes are so short. the runtime is 40 minutes and five of that is credits and another five of that is our obligatory stylized music video. it's just too little time to dedicate to a large ensemble cast and a complex plot. it sucks to be watching the final season of a show and realize you haven't seen [Major Character] for entire episodes, or entire acts (!). outside of jinx and ambessa, it feels like everyone's fave is getting shortchanged on screentime, some more than others. with only three episodes left it's hard to imagine they'll manage to resolve everyone's arc and all the outstanding mysteries and bring everything to a satisfying conclusion. fans freaked out when they first accidentally let slip that after s2 they were moving away from these characters and fans were right. womp womp
more detailed spoiler stuff:
sevika. the hair. why :(
"jinx is a symbol of resistance" is one of those things that i didn't feel they entirely set up. sure, she has pushed back on piltover -- but every time she has, piltover has cracked down even harder on zaun. there's really no zaunites who resent her for that? hm
isha is a character i struggle with because i thought everything about her was too on the nose in act 1 and then we had open act 2 with jinx stating the thesis aloud to the camera. "gee you remind me of my old self powder. i wonder if this is how silco felt about me, powder." lol
i was DARING the show to have vi flashback to punching powder after she hit isha lmaooo. impressed they resisted
whatever tho i did enjoy the jinx-sevika-isha unit while it lasted
vander's werewolf self going back to the hideout he used to share with silco... their jackets hung together... bro...
i have to say i'm actually not sure i like the felicia stuff that much. i don't know. arcane isn't subtle ever and this felt like another sledgehammer. i think i also ... actually derive a bit less meaning from vander taking them in/silco raising jinx if actually vander and silco were besties with their mom and knew them growing up, too. not that it stopped silco from wanting to murk vi lmao so i guess it's no guarantee of his affection for jinx, but... yeah. idk. subtle as a brick: that's arcane
also was this telling me that vander saw felicia die during a rebellion they all incited, flipped out and blamed silco and tried to DROWN HIM ... like... jesus man that's pretty harsh lmao i'd start villain monologuing too
mel in the torture labyrinth was interesting, and i loved getting to meet a version of her sexy brother kino. as soon as [man's voice] appeared i was like omg is it her sexy brother... and it was! sort of! i'm assuming his look and personality and voice match real kino even if he was some kind of trick monster thing. i like the medarda family lore and i liked getting to see mel and kino interact, if briefly
on the other hand, mel being trapped in the torture labyrinth meaning that's her only 5 minutes of screentime for all of act 2 and the reveal is that she has magic powers which we already surmised from the s1 cliffhanger... i don't know... and an illegitimate baby plot? like... we have so many plots. please.
also she's totally pregnant and i hate that. lol.
i started this season ambessa's number 1 fan and i have enjoyed her but also there is a lot of her, when other major characters from s1 get little screentime. i had hoped seeing more ambessa would mean seeing more of ambessa and mel, bc their relationship with each other is very interesting, but... nope??? i mean, sure there's act 3, but we've had six episodes so far of little.
caitlyn's arc was such a disappointment to me. the end of act 1 with her was such a strong stark scene and by the time we pick up with her in act 2 we've already montaged past all her war crimes and into the part where she feels bad about them and is ready to turn a new leaf. like. come on man.
her reunion with vi was way too smooth. i would love vi to be angry with her for her bullshit. maybe they'll fight again next act, they fight all the time, but like... ugh. 2.1 was such a big falling out and then vi just shrugs it off and we're back to "cupcake". poor vi the writers dgaf about her
viktor's cult was not what i expected at all, i expected something more outwardly sinister lol. people on twitter are arguing back and forth about how obviously evil it was but i am not sure that's the case -- or like -- i mean i think as an audience member aware you're watching a tv show, it's easy to be like "this is clearly evil and will be revealed as such later", but just in terms of what the show is putting down in act 2 i think it's presented as this bastion of hope which is then destroyed. in act 3 we will find out why it was destroyed, i assume, and can retroactively decide if that was a good decision or not.
sky. sis. i wish they like. made you a person in s1. i have no frame of reference for if this feels like the real sky whose consciousness is now in the void (like viktor's seems to be?) or if she's like the hexcore's avatar for getting what it wants (which is what i feel act 1 implied), because they did not spend time in s1 to establish her
i joked in s1 a lot about salo getting a front row seat to jayce and viktor's weird gay thing over the years so it's nice he got to participate in their last conversation flkhghgl. but this was another scene where i felt the pacing was nerfing things -- i like the general exchange on paper, that there's been this time apart and viktor wants to show jayce what he's working on and jayce is all fucked up and bitter or whatever, but in real time their reunion, split, and then this scene happen in such a condensed time ... we haven't really seen either of them apart, we didn't see jayce's time growing bitter or whatever and even if we see it in act 3 it's belated?
i also thought it was odd how viktor was like "i was clouded by emotion" when honestly their breakup was the most emotionless he'd ever been to that point lol
it is very funny to think that jayce came out of s1 and the hell void and the lesson he learned was he should continue shooting first and asking questions never
i can think of several possible explanations for jayce's behaviour, ranging from "something i'd be super into" all the way to "i don't want to type it out in fear of invoking it into the universe". so i'm trying not to speculate all that much tbh, lest i grow attached to the former and get the latter
"peacock princes... an old family joke" and "you once told me every system has limits" are two great examples of stuff feeling rushed. these so clearly feel like they should be callbacks to scenes we actually *saw* but they just aren't. because we never got flashback kino, and viktor and sky never held a conversation until she died.
ekko and heimerdinger died on the way to their home planet...
this all sounds exceedingly negative listed out, when in reality i was mostly having a good time. it's just... the cracks are starting to show as the the show strains under the pressure of accomplishing all its goals in a measly 18 episodes. that crunch means any time someone's watching a scene about a plot or characters they like less they're going to start feeling impatient, any time a musical number doesn't hit (and i have to be honest, s2 is more misses than hits for me so far) they're going to feel impatient... i don't know. i find it difficult to see how they'll pull all of this off without leaving the audience thinking "jeeze that needed another season", or "why did they waste time on X when i wanted to see Y".

Something I love about this scene is the way that her hair resembles water. Pretty sure it was intentional, meant to call back Silco's monologue on drowning in the first season. Same question now in front of her, have you had enough?

Question - and a little help. I'm writing smth involving Silco (as a majority in the thing) but I'm not exactly sure how to write him. When you write anything with him, what's the vibe? Or the process.
I haven't written him before and your rendition of him is astounding. Any help?
I think the biggest thing with Silco is the balance of how he wants to be perceived (threatening, in control, and collected) compared to how he actually is underneath it (very all-consumed in his emotions whether it's his passion about Zaun, his love of Jinx, or even just when his temper does flare up or the exhaustion of his position overwhelms him). So the thing I'm always most aware of when writing him is who else is in the room with him and how willing he is to his facade drop (and of course what factors may be forcing him to let the facade drop more than he would be willing). Also the conscious mental thought that goes into maintaining a facade like that (if you're a person who Masks in daily life lean on that but in a Masking by Controlled Statement - he's standing out of the crowd because of the things he's chosen to make him stand out not what other people choose for him).
He's also very dramatic and rather dismissive of other people (unless they are Jinx). So he tends to think about other peoples 'weaknesses' or frame things in ways of it being a fault in that person if they don't agree with him completely or do things the way he would. Like the average person would think about say Vander not beating someone to death in terms of keeping his temper in check or wanting to be the better man Silco thinks about it in terms of not being willing to do what is necessary and giving in to the easy laziness of pacifism.
Also he loves him a good metaphor or symbolism. But not to the point where he starts sounding flowery. He tends to go for more violent ones and tied to life experiences he has had ("a weak man drowned that day"; the whole baptism thing with Powder). He also keeps them up his sleeve until they have the biggest punch to them (he's not always telling the other Chembarons how he grew up in the mines or the heavier gasses in Zaun up until he feels he needs to remind them and then lets off a gas canister of the stuff in a room and monologues through it as they choke around him) but they do slip into his general way of speaking as well (if he can fit a drowning metaphor into a sentence it will be there). He knows how to demand attention but he tends to do it by a strong entrance or opening not in a 'naturally charismatic' way like Jayce is (which isn't to say Silco isn't charismatic but its a lot more dramatic and preformative).
Oh and also the world loves to make a hypocrite out of him. If he says he would never do something or that someone else is wrongweak for making a certain decision he has to later be put into the position where he does the thing or needs to/wants to make the same decision. But that does come a bit back to my first point - he wants to present as this purely objective person who only cares about the independence and betterment of Zaun but deep down he is a very human and emotion-driven man.
Hopefully that helps.
#Arcane#Silco Arcane#Ramblings of the Goddess#Q and A with the Goddess#Anon question#while I'm not like Silco in basically every other way#I am like him in terms of Masking through Performative Statement#and will literally contemplate the clothes I will wear#for Important Things for ages#and what exact statement I want to make with them#(and also am a massive theatrical person)#so I draw a lot on those feelings when I write him#and then just up the judgementalness right up#and add a bit more metaphor

Two extremes of canon-compliant Silco-Vander betrayal scenarios
Despite having written a medium length fanfic on events leading to the betrayal, I cannot stop thinking about it. I think the most Vander-sympathetic, and the most Silco-sympathetic, possibilities go something like this:
Silco-sympathetic Silco and Vander (and maybe Benzo) were equally responsible for angry protesting on/over the bridge which led to a lot of people (including Vi and Powder’s parents) being killed by Enforcers. Vander and many of the other survivors, horrified by the massacre, wanted to give up on the nation of Zaun. Benzo most likely told Silco to “learn to walk away”, hence the callback in episode 3, but Silco declared his intention to keep fighting without them. Silco would happily die for Zaun’s freedom, and up until then he’d believed Vander was willing to die too. Why would picking up some kids change that? Vander was angry that Silco wasn’t seeing the seriousness of the situation and worried that his new children might be caught up in continued hostilities. He shaved between the bridge and the drowning, possibly as a seductive measure, possibly to make himself less recognisable to Enforcers. He took Silco outside for a one-on-one conversation, thinking he might manage to convince his old friend/brother/lover alone, but with a backup plan if that didn’t work out. Silco came trusting, alone and unarmed to the riverbank, refused to change his mind, and probably said something insensitive, with absolutely no idea of the danger he was in. So Vander attempted to follow through with his plan to kill Silco bloodlessly, let the river take his body away, and end both his friend and his own violent phase. Vander completely forgot about his own knife, because he is by nature a fist fighter. He’s never forgiven himself because he attacked someone who loved and trusted him, even if he still thinks it had to be done. Silco, meanwhile, had completely misjudged how far Vander would go to protect his new children (years later under the statue “oh, it all makes sense now, brother”), and obviously can never trust anyone completely ever again. Vander-sympathetic: they broke up first Silco did something truly awful for the cause without Vander’s knowledge or consent, which made the bridge scene turn nastier. Afterwards, Vander wanted peace and Silco didn’t. Silco saw that as a betrayal of the cause (hence Jinx saying “he turned his back” as the betrayal rather than the murder attempt). Silco kept stirring up trouble and caused real ongoing problems for Vander, the Lanes, and Vander’s new children, even as Benzo begged him to “learn to walk away”. They argued furiously. Silco didn’t understand why Vander’s priorities had changed so much just because he had kids now, made it clear he didn’t care about the kids himself, and was generally very Silco on the subject of the sanctity of juvenile life. Vander told Silco to clear out and that he’d kill him if he saw him again. Silco was clearly still plotting horrible things that might burn the whole undercity and parts of the overcity down. Vander shaved for reasons unrelated to Silco (maybe for the funerals). Enforcers keep up pressure on the Lanes, driven by Silco’s continued activities. Shortly afterwards they ran into one another, perhaps while Silco was up to no good, and Vander attacked (or possibly Silco attacked, but I rather think he’s realistic about his prospects of winning). Silco had at least one knife but lost it in the fight, they scuffled and ended up in the river themselves, the rest is history. It’s never explicitly stated that Silco trusted Vander right up until the drowning. In this scenario, it’s less clear why Vander would feel guilt specifically because “you were my brother” but this may be a more general statement of responsibility, or regret that he didn’t try harder to talk Silco round. Silco himself links the betrayal and the murder attempt more intimately in his drowning monologue, but that is largely a false memory of Silco’s, a constructed version of the trauma that he can survive with. Conclusions Having written these up, I still find the Silco-sympathetic account more convincing given what we know, but various mixtures exist and we do after all mainly have Silco’s side of the story. Anyway, I pretty much think we will never know what the creators had in mind, so it’s fun to speculate.

J Watches Arcane: Episode 3, Random Thoughts/Play-by-Play
Back at it again, ready to have my fucking heart ripped out (if the ending if the last episode is any indication of what's to come). Under read-more because I have lots of thoughts! Okay, well, plenty of them are jokes, because I haven't been the same since watching MST3k. But also the episode starts with a monologue about drowning, and as someone with personal experience in that area, well, had to add in my 2 cents :D
Includes time-stamps for watch alongs/curiosity.
Reminder: These thoughts are just initial observations, and are subject to change. Some scenes hit different in retrospect, and some thoughts end up being null by the end of a scene (though I try to note that, if things change soon enough for me to write it down).
(0:43) "Ever wonder what it's like to drown?"- Silco. Uh, it's like coming home?... Movie reference aside, I know what it's like to drown, and lemme tell you, it's just as horrible as you've always imagined :)))
(0:55) "There's peace in water. Like it's holdin' you, whisperin' in low tones to let it in."- Silco. Maybe it's because I almost drowned close to shore, and was in water less than a foot taller than I was (for reference, I was between 3 and 5 years old, and this is literally one of my earliest memories), but gotta disagree here. The waves crashed over me, over and over again, screaming at me to just stay down. No whispering, no soft caresses. It was like being beat to death, like getting kicked to the dirt, and stomped on. Repeatedly. Fucking sucked.
(1:20) "But then there's this thing, in your head, and it's raging"- Silco. YES, we agree on this. Pressure building in your chest, body struggling, fighting endlessly, even as the shadows start to creep into the corners of your vision. The water holds you down, but by God, your body will not let you go gently. You will not take a breath, will not flood your lungs, until it is the only choice. Flashing imagery aside, the visuals felt like a very accurate representation of the moments right before you pass out. Contrast between giving in to the unrelenting water and the strive to keep flailing.
(1:55) "For that I thank you... old friend."- Silco. Oooh la la, some of the first real hints towards Silco's complicated character. Since starting the show, I've heard a little bit more about what specifically people love about it (thankfully without many spoilers), and I'm looking forward to learning more about Silco!
(Intro/Opening Credits) Woot! I think I recognize almost every character in the intro now :D
(3:50) Oh, wait a second, are we doubling back on the trope subversion? I mean, okay, it's a common thing for either a father figure or an older sibling to give themselves up for the sake of the youngin. But it's less almost-maybe-cliche if Vi is the one who goes with the enforcers/takes the blame, even if she technically is the ringleader who orchestrated the crime. Maybe. Hmm. At the moment, as I am watching this, I'm not 100% confident about my trope analysis, so I might revisit this at another time.
The point is that I'm a bit surprised, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Should probably finish the scene before I say anymore, though!
(5:25) DAMNIT, this is why I shouldn't make comments before finishing the scene. Also fuck! Fucking fuck, man! Good shit.
(6:18) "This wasn't the deal!" The fuck did you expect, mate? You gonna trust a man with a glowing eye and a crime syndicate to keep his word? Amateur.
(7:15) At this point I am really wishing that I didn't have any vague ideas about future plot points (as in I wish I hadn't had anything spoiled), because right now my brain is reeling, trying to figure out how the hell we're gonna get from point A to point B.
(7:30ish) Viktor is kinda cute? Idk, the lil face he made when Jayce said that they need to "crank it" amused me.
Everything about that scene with Vander and Silco was fucking superb. Tasty lore, contrasting visuals, wunderbar voicework, etc, etc.
(13:34) "Wait, this isn't my bedroom"- Viktor. My man, you are officially the fucking best. Adorable.
Mel is gorgeous and I am a very smol, weak-willed gay.
(16:40) "I can't lose you, you're all I have left"- Vi. Characters love to say this, but they never seem to realize how it feels to the person they say it to. Vi tells Powder that she can't help save Vander, because it's dangerous. But that just means that Vi might die. Powder might lose her. There's no good solution, obviously, which is why lines like this hurt so much.
They're just leaving Powder there? I know that without Benzo, and with Vander captured, they don't really have any adults they can trust. But can't they at least have her hangout with Ekko? Small traumatized children need emotional support. They can cry together or something
At first I wasn't sure about having such an intense undercity plotline run concurrent with science experiments in Piltover, but on second thought it makes perfect sense. Jayce's experiments are somewhat of a parallel to Silco's weird drug shit. They're both endeavors to enact change, though the methods and intentions are very different. "As above, so below" and all that. Could probably write a longer post about this parallel/contrast.
(18:16) Seeing Powder having an emotional breakdown is... not fun. I mean, obviously, this isn't intended to be a happy scene or anything. I'm just stating that I am having emotions!!! Also reminded of my own breakdowns at her age, so, ya know, that's fun (/sarcasm).
(18:40ish) "I can help them"- Powder. OH NO. OH NO. This VERY MUCH feels like the lead up to that one spoilery meme I saw. This is going to backfire horribly, isn't it? fuck, man, I am not ready for this. Also my food is cold :( this episode has a lot more to it than I expected
(20:48) GOD, the look on Vi's face when she realizes that this is a trap, my heart hurts man. Not quite as bad as the last episode, when Vander realized what Vi was planning, but still... Definitely a testament to the facial animations.
(22:21) Rock 'em, Sock 'em, Robots! Uppercut! Ding ding, we have a winner! Fuck 'em up, Vi! I am amusing myself with these words to try and counter the inevitable heartbreak that this show promises me!
At what point does Silco pause and realize that Vi is the biggest badass in the building, and that maybe trying to kill her is a bad idea? If he had somehow gotten to her earlier and convinced her that his plan to fuck up Piltover was going to work, she probably could have done 95% of the work herself. Or something. I mean, a loser like Deckard + drugs = unstoppable monster. But a badass like Vi + the drugs? Not the kind of beat you'd want to mess with. Maybe that's part of the problem, tho. Maybe Silco picked someone like Deckard to experiment with because he's easier to manipulate. Idk, rambling, not really putting much thought into these... thoughts.
(24:23) Not gonna lie, Drug!Deckard reminds me of husks/indoctrinated people from Mass Effect, just purple instead of blue.
(25:18) hehheh. angry lil hipperdipper or whatever his name is. funny.
(27:14) Forehead bonk!
(28:42) POWDER FALLING FROM THE BUILDING MIRRORING SILCO FALLING THROUGH THE WATER FROM THE START OF THE EPISODE??? FUCK.
damnit. the meme I saw. was indeed. a spoiler. rip Ben-10 (Mylo is voiced by Yuri Lowenthal, who voiced one or more of the versions of Ben 10) and Goggles
Vander pushing himself out of the rubble = Spider-Man in the iconic "if this be my destiny" scene. I mean, not directly or anything. It's just vaguely similar, and I really love the Spider-Man scene, so the similar vibes are making me emotional, okay?
(32:16)... forehead... bonk...
Drug!Vander has more of a pink tint, compared to the strong purple of Deckard, and I'm not saying it's a connection to Vi (and her hair), a subtle sort of thing, but I'm also not saying that it's not connected.
(34:44) "Take care of Powder"- Vander. this line hurts a lot more when I think about what I've heard regarding future episodes.
(35:52) WHAT THE FUCK, VI. maybe this is just, like, a personal thing. but I never, ever understand when a character's response to trauma is to hurt other people (obviously Vi will regret this choice, and it's not what she would do if she had more time to process everything that just happened). of course, my personal response to excessive emotions is to direct all anger/desire to cause harm at myself, which is very clearly a result of my childhood trauma and mental health issues, and isn't healthy (I mean, hurting other people is also not healthy. neither option is good, is what I'm saying). this scene just. fucking HURTS so much.
(35:56) "Because you're a jinx!"- Vi. First of all, hate that this is how Powder gets her name. Second of all, that's not even true! Vi left her behind to keep her safe! Again, I know that Vi is going through an inconceivable amount of trauma right now, I am just pointing out reasons that make everything about this hurt more.
(36:29) this hurts. so much. Vander's last words were literally telling Vi to take care of Powder, and now Vi's walking away while Powder cries after her. Why am I watching this. Oh my god. This hurts my heart. So much.
Oh. Oh. So is Silco going to take Powder in/take care of her out of some weird empathy, because her sister just abandoned her, just like Vander betrayed Silco? Is that what this is? More parallels? Hmm. Painful. I need a nap.

When/how did you start liking Silco?
There was definitely a draw the second he turned in his first reveal in episode 1, but in episode 3 when he started chastising Vander in the cannery I was like “oh no, they’ve got backstory, and you know what, he’s right.”
What’s your favorite thing about him and his relationship with Jinx?
He knows exactly how to calm her down, to help get her mind out of that dark place. His blind spot for her is ultimately his downfall, but it’s what I loved the most about them.
What’s your favorite Silco scene/quote?
Again, Silco chastising Vander in episode 3, but also that whole opening drowning monologue is pretty amazing (also the shimmer injection scene in episode 4 because let’s be real, that’s an O face right there)
What’s your least favorite thing about him?
How fast he gives up on Zaun when Jayce demands Jinx. Bruh, give up a few of your concessions, offer some other criminals--hell, offer up the Chem-Barons (at least the ones you don’t need, like Remmi). He swings to oddly fatalistic in that he just goes “ah, that’s just how it is” instead of his usual fight response.
If he were to be revived in S2, would you like that?
I mean... idk. I really want more of him, I wanted more for Zaun. But the way they wrote it seemed pretty cut & dry. Flashbacks would make more sense, even if I’m addicted to him & his death broke my heart.
To all Silco Simps:
When/How did you start liking Silco?
What's your favorite thing about him and his relationship with Jinx?
What's your favorite Silco scene/quote?
What's your least favorite thing about him?
If he were to be revived in S2, would you like that?
#arcane#league of legends#silco#i just love him so much#but undoing his death would be really hard to do right#i feel like it would just ruin everything#jinx needs him so bad#poor baby#zaun deserved better
