#the worse his life gets the more I like Jayce tbh

[therabbitthatpostthings]

Mel and Viktor I apologize, I see the vision.

[britcision]

So partner and I are nearly done the first season of Arcane

And listen

We all knew Mr Who Needs Therapy When I Can Be Edgy And Menacing With My Robot Eye wasn’t going to suddenly realise the wonders of psychological health and good coping mechanisms just because he’s acquired a sad blue child

He already murdered his bf it’s too late anyway

But post time skip I do think he’s really starting to question that decision, and I think that’s beautiful

Of course, his solution thus far has been “uuuuuh what if we have matching trauma”, and I bet I know how that’s gonna go for him 👀

Arcane spoilers ahead-

The way I see hate for Vi and Jinx for being the cause of each others misfortunes is absolutely crazy. They were both victims and products of a corrupt society. One was just raised to be a hero and the other was raised to be a weapon.

I had an argument with someone the other day who said and I quote , “the sole reason powder became jinx was powders fault alone. She was always a psychotic and mentally ill person. She should’ve just listened to her sister and cuz of her every one is dead. Tbh she deserved what she got” . It annoys me first off cuz Powder was never psychotic for wanting to help out. Yes we all hope she could’ve stayed home like her sister said cuz that could’ve prevented a lot but powder never knew the severity of the hexcore just like how Jayce and Viktor didn’t either and she didn’t know what was at play at Silcos little hideout near the bridge. Vi is 15 years old and Powder is 11. Both have been raised in very terrible circumstances that they keep getting exposed to no matter how much Vander tried to prevent it. Their parents were killed by enforcers and they had to witness violence from the very start. It does terrible things to your mental health. Silco ended up using all her trauma as a fuel to make her a weapon for his cause rather than giving her the help she needed. Without any form of therapy or a support system her situation got even more worse. With the “oh Powder should’ve stayed home” argument you can easily also say “oh well vi should’ve listened to Vander instead of turning herself over to the enforcers because that ultimately killed Benzo and left Vander defenseless which is what got him captured in the first place”. But it doesn’t work that way. Vi is a very brave minded individual who doesn’t really like being told what to do. She will do what she believes is right for the right cause even if it means sacrificing herself in the process. Powder has always looked up to her sister. In the process she did a very similar thing fueled by the desire to finally prove to her friends and family that she wasn’t a jinx like many had teased her. That decision of hers ultimately ended up negatively impacting the ppl around her but to say she was psychotic at that point of her life is wild.

It’s the same for the people who say Vi was a terrible sister. I think Vi is an amazing older sister who really did the best she could in the circumstances she was provided. She even spent 7 years in the prison thinking about her sister every day hoping she was ok, doing everything she could she save her. And in the case of the alternative universe, it wasn’t perfect because Vi was dead but it was perfect because hextech was never invented and Silco read that damn letter.

I think a lot of the sisters relationship was based off misunderstanding and their insecurities and mental health overpowering their will to make amends. Not to mention Silco has isolated and manipulated Jinx but saying all she had and ever will have was him. He hid everything he could about Vi and everything else and fed lies about how she was being replaced and what not.

Either way neither sisters are to blame they were just raised in very unfortunate situations I would wish no one would have to experience at such a young age.

MH Viktor being 100× more sensitive because he barely takes his armor off + Jayce being 100× more touch-starved since their fallout to the point that he can't spend a second without at least an inch of his body doing contact with his lover = peak fiction.

Assfadagdaaff I agreeeee. And TBH if/when I write a PotM sequel, this is probably gunna play a huge part.

—not NSFW per se, but suggestive as hell—

For Viktor, he has spent the last 6+ years focusing on his Glorious Evolution™ with little to no time/effort spared on connection or intimacy. And any sort of sexual dalliances he entertained were purely casual. In fact I can see him, on his more bitter days, actively shying away from anything of a romantic nature—if his hookups dared to get too close, he would lance them from his life without a second thought. But this of course has some unintended side effects—namely his sensitivity. He doesn’t have a whole lot of flesh left, but what remains has become hyper-reactive; after all, he’s weaned himself off of gentle touches, of soft caresses. His hookups were only ever rough. And he’s doing his best not to cringe and pull away from Jayce, now that they’re kinda sorta rekindling things, but it’s difficult—he reacts to it like a sudden bee sting. And it’s not because he doesn’t like it, of course he does, especially from Jayce, it’s just that he had associated gentleness, intimacy with that feeling of betrayal. Rewiring his brain is going to take time, and he has to tell Jayce as much, because the first time Viktor cringed and pulled away, Jayce looked at him like he’d ran him through. But Jayce understands, so he does make an effort to go slow, to be careful and intentional with his touches, even though he’s clearly hungry for so much more. And every once in a while, when Jayce is able to coax him into accepting more—a long massage, perhaps—he becomes like putty in Jayce’s hands. His walls just melt away, and Jayce can have him shivering in minutes; he knows all the right places, all the right touches that can make Viktor blue screen. It’s vulnerable, and Viktor isn’t always prepared to be vulnerable, but when he is… Jayce could spend days just soaking up Viktor’s trust (and his moans of pleasure 😈).

And Jayce… Jayce is suffering a bit of separation anxiety. He knows he has to build back up to this, that he can’t just throw himself at Viktor… but just being around him is painful. He can hardly stand it, sharing Viktor’s space without touching him. He has to catch himself, because it’s second nature—resting a hand on Viktor’s shoulder, wrapping an arm around his waist and just holding him close. And he doesn’t want to put the cart before the horse, test Viktor’s boundaries before they’ve even been reestablished. Especially when Viktor reacts like a spooked deer half the time. But they’re both working on it. They’re walking a bit of a tightrope, as things stand, a hazy twilight sort of phase—it’s all so delicate, and they could both stand to be hurt if it all goes wrong. So they’re taking baby steps, even though it’s agonizing a lot of the time. But occasionally, when their respective anxieties can be quelled and they can meet in the middle… it’s paradise. Jayce can cozy up to Viktor, ease him into it, and have him melting in Jayce’s hands in no time. He can have those vents steaming, the metal quaking. And it’s like taking a hit off something strong, for Jayce—touching and being touched by Viktor is a drug to him now, after such a long stint of separation. And yes, sometimes his separation anxiety gets worse after, because he’s had a taste, a hit. He’s working on that too.

They both have a lot to work on, but neither of them has ever shied away from hard work. And they’re both painfully aware that it can never be like it was. There’s too much history, too much pain. But maybe, just maybe, they can forge something new.

Gonna share my thoughts about NB lesson 24 now. Expect spoilers under the cut. (I haven't read the extra story since can't get access to it. so am keeping that out for obvious reasons.)

So we start off with Asmo first charming Lucifer of all demons and I was very surprised to see it even work. Like holy shit, Asmo charmed LUCIFER. Felt both impressed and concerned pff

Then we slowly start to see things take a turn from interesting to very concerning...Tbh. This way they went about on showing Asmo's charm at a stronger rate, is actually okay with me. Like its bad yeah, because Asmo is taking advantage of everyone around him. Which just happens to be his brothers. But this could of been played out way worse by the writers, since this is Asmodeus after all. The Avatar of Lust.

Some will think he'll just use his charm to do some fucked up shit with his brothers...But thankfully, they(the writers) proved here Asmo doesn't have any true desires for that. So those anti Asmo fans can quit it with constantly saying Asmo just wants to fuck his brothers. Seriously, fucking stop it. It's tiring and annoying now.

Anyway, back to the lesson...So Asmo just uses his charm to just make everyone spoil and pamper him like a literal "Queen". Or as quoted by Solomon later on, making his brothers act like royal servants, which "Queen Asmodeus" had. (I'm so interested to hear more of Queen Asmodeus. Solomon, fucking spill the lore. I NEED it. lol)

Most of the brothers are easily charmed by Asmo's stronger charm now at first. Then there's Lucifer, first charmed of course, then worked on resisting his charm in time. Which apparently the other brothers can do too or try, as implied by Lucifer.

Then we finally get Asmo snapping and his sin consuming him truly now after Mammon upset him a lot with the stuff he told him. At this moment, all the brothers, including Lucifer too, are now victim or fallen victim to Asmo's powerful charm.

Then here's us...Honestly, I wish they let Asmo try to charm MC so we can know if they truly retcon the fact MC can't be charmed or not. Though maybe we'll find out in next lesson...

(Though that whole scene of MC running away from Asmo trying to hunt them down to charm them. Just was some yandere-ish vibes to me. lol Fueling the fics ideas for me now.)

Anyway, we escaped unhinged Queen Asmo's charming wrath pfff, and we were sent to Solomon for help. (ugh...but it is what it is.)

I chose to land on his head btw. Heheh. REVENGE~.

Anywaaaays. We tell Solomon what's going on, and of course he finds this all interesting...but quick to accept this is a problem...Then goes with us to help save the brothers and stop/save Asmo too.

That where we see Asmo just living a spoiled life of being pampered and attended to endlessly by his brothers, and this is where Solomon brings up this is like with Queen Asmodeus and his royal servants. (AGAIN. SPILL THE DETAILS WIZARD MAN. LOL)

I was honestly very concerned over how this will play out with Solomon. I knew he'll get involved since he has a pact with Asmo...But in the end he just kept resisting or reflecting Asmo's charm, even with his weakened power(still having doubts if that's true or what from him lol). Then in the end resorted to using Barbatos to help stop Asmo like nothing. Which honestly...I'm happier with Barb stopping Asmo truly than Solomon himself directly. (Even if Barb showed no mercy it seems...haha)

Then we get left with some cliffhangers and yeah...Can't wait for the next lesson.

But now I got some stuff to say, about Asmo, and Solomon here.

Now you know I love Asmo with all my heart...But won't lie. Hearing him call Jayce/Me a nuisance...Was a huge stab to my heart lol. Like personally, I feel like one as is in life to everyone around. Which is why I'm so distant and all. So yeah...It just sucks. lol But I know this isn't truly Asmo talking truly from his heart, just his sin consuming him making him act and talk this way. But for my MC Jayce, this will certain leave a scar and now moments of doubt when with Asmo...lol the angst is gonna be real from this now.

Now for Solomon...Honestly I still don't like him because of the stuff he's said or done (but won't deny he's kinda hot. so there. happy? lol), but appreciate him protecting us and defending us. Though I just hated how he said this to Asmo...

Like it just proves to me again, he just sees Asmo as nothing more but a tool than someone special and important to him. No love is felt from him or through his words over Asmo. (Like some like to believe they apparently are madly in love with each other...Uh huh...) Just this need to prove he's in control and powerful over another, which is Asmo in this case...Ugh...I hate it so much. Reminds me of those toxic partners in relationships who need to always be in control and more power than other...or some people I know irl who really are like this...

Anyway...That's all to say for now. I think. Might of missed stuff but mind is everywhere rn so yeah lol. I'll say/add more later if anything comes up.

All I know, once this is all over. I expect many hugs and kisses from Asmo. (As well will maybe be writing some angsty stuff over Jayce and Asmo thanks to this all. lol)

2x05, part 1. They should put a big bold FLASHING WARNING at the beginning of each episode. Ugh.

Season 2 of Arcane: a very long music video. :/

I was just watching the intro as always and it suddenly hit me: we have no Mel, no Jayce, barely any Viktor, but lots of Ambessa and Black Rose. Are we SURE we're watching Arcane? The same Arcane that we watched in s1? Like? Where are the characters this is supposed to be about? I'm not even a Mel's fan, but I'll take her over Ambessa any second. Plus, no Jayce, Ekko, Heimerdinger? Vi I truly couldn't care less about (and I'm surprised Jinx suddenly came to Vi for her because "it's Vander".)

I'm ????

I'm sad you're not dead. I'm tired of you. Been tired of you for a very long time now.

She's in her villain era.

I kind of shipped them since s1, but it's such a horrible trauma as it is tbh.

Plot twist! This is kind of sweet (upd: nevermind, this isn't when you learn the truth), but why should I care about it? As in, why should I care about Black Rose?

You made it possible, Vi, so stfu.

BABY GIRL. BABY.

How is Jinx the sane one? Honestly, Vi's head is so up her own ass, and it's been that way since the beginning of s1. Only gotten worse though. "My sister is dead, I'm a good one while she needs to be killed." Shut the fuck uuupppp.

She's so right. And Vi has the audacity to be MAD about it as if she didn't end up there on her own and it wasn't her own choice to destroy herself and her life.

SHE KICKED YOUR BUTT EVEN WITHOUT THOSE GADGETS. SHE FUCKING FOUGHT WARWICK AND MANAGED TO WALK AWAY ALIVE.

SAY IT!!!

I DREAM of Jinx killing you. Get a fucking grip on reality. And stop glaring at Jinx as if what she's saying is not true. Be fyucking mad at yourself, not her.

She's adorable.

Isha kicking Vi in the head and biting her is so <3

The soft look with which he looks at Isha. <3 Before this we could only see her like this with Silco.

Her ears have an interesting shape. I didn't notice before that there's kind of sharp like angle there.

Is it time to notice that Jinx never, ever called Silco her dad? So all those screams about incest (when they're not even related lol) are ridiculous?

I wish we'd seen more of Jilco when Silco was alive. I'm sure Jinx was a menace (and probably tried to get into his pants in various ways).

The expressions <3.

I demand for you to shut the fuck up and go kill yourself. ;')

HE-FUCKING-LLO??? YOUNG SILCO???

[theprettyarachnid]

watching horror movies with the arcane characters

a/n: tumblr has been acting weird on my computer so i’m writing this on my phone and I HATE IT

warnings: none(?)

Jinx

🕷 please she’s so cute

🕷 Jinx goes all out for movie nights, like she makes a mattress out of blankets with pillows encircling it, popcorn which is a little burnt, and she even has a cooler on the floor with all your favourite drinks

🕷 She has one condition though and it’s very important

🕷 You both have to wear onesies, matching ones preferably

🕷 During the actual movie, she’s rooting for the villain the entire time which is really entertaining to watch

🕷 When there’s a suspenseful scene with the creepy music leading up to a jump scare, she can’t help screaming ‘boo!’ which earns her a light slap on the shoulder

Vi

🕷 For whatever reason, I feel like Vi isn’t the biggest fan of horror movies

🕷 Like she still watches them with you mainly because you’re huddled up to her chest squeezing her hand like your life depends on it

🕷 It isn’t that she’s scared of them, she just finds them a little predictable

🕷 Prefers action movies more tbh

🕷 But regardless, she comes up with cheap candy that she might’ve stolen and drinks

Caitlyn

🕷 oh my god

🕷 Caitlyn does not watch horror movies, she prefers horrifying and gruesome documentaries instead

🕷 Like one time she made you watch a documentary about a cannibalistic cult and just went to bed afterwards like she just watched care bears???

🕷 She’s also the type of person who can eat popcorn or candy even if a gross scene is happening

🕷 like girl

Ekko

🕷 He definitely has a projector instead of a regular television, he says it’s better because ‘babe the screen is bigger’

🕷 Mans needs to get every single comment, joke, whatever in

🕷 same though

🕷 ‘babe, watch’

🕷 He throws a piece of popcorn in the air to catch it and if he does, he precedes to choke on it

🕷 If he misses, he’ll make an excuse like ‘that was a practice round’ <3

🕷 Honestly, he gets scared during horror movies and is unashamed of it

🕷 Like the both of you will be huddled together in a gigantic blanket, holding hands with your heads pressed together

🕷 If you cover your eyes, he’ll tease you for it but ends up screaming when the jump scare happens

Viktor

🕷 All the lights are off, the television screen the only thing illuminating the room

🕷 I can see him not liking popcorn lmao

🕷 You’re laying on his chest with a blanket over the both of you watching some poor girl get chopped up

🕷 You’ll be watching, your jaw dropped and your eyes wide, and Viktor doesn’t even react

🕷 His excuse is that ‘it’s not real’ and ‘he’s seen worse things in the undercity’

🕷 like babes we know you’re traumatized but watch the movie

🕷 Halfway through he falls asleep

Jayce

🕷 my love <3

🕷 He acts all tough and reassures you it’s just a movie

🕷 Throughout the movie, he just slowly gets closer to you

🕷 ‘jayce.. are you scared?’

🕷 ‘no!’

🕷 yes, yes he is

🕷 That doesn’t stop him from critiquing every single thing the protagonist does

🕷 ‘don’t hit him just once dumbass’ and ‘she’s fallen like… eight times, how has he not caught up to her yet?’ and the classic ‘don’t run that way!’

🕷 If a sex scene comes on (which they always do) he just looks at you with a smirk on his face

Silco

🕷 Unimpressed

🕷 The only enjoyable thing for him is watching your reactions like grabbing his hand when you get scared or not pulling your eyes away from the screen when something’s about to happen

🕷 Movie nights aren’t a regular thing but he knows you like them so he just sits through it

🕷 If he tries to work during the movie, you will pause it and stare him down until he either puts it away or you make him
