#this show is just so incredible

[toriwritesstories]

the other day I heard someone point out how since Arcane is animated, every little detail is intentional… and y’all I cannot stop thinking about it.

It’s not like live action, where someone’s finger might twitch of their own accord and then we as fans read into it. Every thing we see on screen in arcane was intentionally put there.

It’s like, on the surface level I knew this. I mean we all see how amazingly eyes are animated in this show for example

and we all know how incredible this animation team is. But when you think about the fact that nothing was a split second decision that happened to make the cut… like

The exact way Caitlyn collapsed into Vi’s arms, it wasn’t an actor making a random decision that the directors liked. The exact way Cait clings to her and Vi hesitates, people thought so hard and made strategic decisions to put this together.

Every stretch of skin was thought out, planned, animated to perfection.

I dunno, especially in context of the episode 8 scene, I just feel like this makes how incredibly executed it was even more groundbreaking. Because nothing was a one-off take that made it through, everything was explicitly intentional, and fuck I just think that’s beautiful.

ok so i just experienced what i think would be the climax of the film about my breakup

i just went to see neck deep and i was supposed to be going to this show with my ex for my birthday, but i went by myself because i’m not missing it because of him, and i crowdsurfed for the first time ever during the song “heartbreak of the century” and i don’t even feel like i’m real right now

Wilson is constantly in a state of mild rage (because of House) in this show 🤔

of course the show that is fundamentally centered around two sisters and their tragedies becomes centered around men and said sisters are sidelined and their arcs are pushed to the sidelines and all the phenomenal care that went into their characters went down the drain. ​one’s arc is literally “the traumatized / mentally unwell character’s happy ending is committing suicide because they are simply too broken to heal and be happy” trope, and her mental instability is forgotten. the other is reduced to a mere plot device, has no agency of her own, and her trauma and anger is treated like a complete and utter joke for the sake of a shitty ship, and because the writers literally, point blank, were bored with her. it’s so sad because the tragedy of these sisters is so utterly devastating, so encompassing and so intricately woven into the narrative. but make it about two men i suppose?

people like to make langa out to be the clueless one in renga when i wholeheartedly believe it's the other way around. langa straight-up tells his mom he has a crush on reki. reki is barely aware romance is a thing he can do. dude got called a third-wheel between langa & adam and said "three wheels...? but that's not enough for a skateboard..." there is absolutely nothing going on inside his head

(breathing into a paper bag) FRALIO....

can't believe they gave us another guy. oh my god. so I guess Kelka is more, uhhh, more OOO then, and Fralio is Ankh? not that it matters too much, although they do seem to be doing something with the connected Riders so. who knows. anything goes! or if I may, anything gOOOes! god. of course they're the Ambition parallel. of course they are. oh my god.

fortunately there's nothing else they can throw at me right now that could possibly --

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

house md so wonderful and brilliant because it is simultaneously the heaviest, darkest, most serious show about love and loss and how trauma shapes people and the most unhinged thing you'll ever experience.

yes, yes i know edgeworth’s big wet eyes and loser boy personality have captivated us all, but listen. listen.

phoenix wright

phoenix “genuinely unable to reconcile the girl on the stand with the girl he dated for eight months, a cognitive dissonance so profound it’s ultimately explained by them being literally two different people, but which he first sits with for five years and does not talk about at any point to anyone” wright

phoenix “don’t mention that name to me. i don’t want to talk about it. i don’t want to think about it. i am just going to keep myself in this state of perpetual crisis mode focus on other people’s problems until eventually i die and get to hang out with mia on the astral plane and never have to deal with any of these emotions ever again” wright

phoenix “overnight loses his career and reputation and sense of identity while gaining an adopted, probably pretty traumatized eight-year-old daughter, and rather than leaning on his friends for help, or getting therapy, or taking any time to process any of this, he *checks notes* spends seven years dedicating all his free time and energy to investigating the weird fucking circumstances around it and maintains a friendship with the guy he suspects was behind it all” wright

phoenix "runs across a burning bridge and falls through it, half a day after the game establishes that he is terrified of heights, because his friend is on the other side of that bridge" wright

phoenix “i sure felt surprised. maybe i had my poker face on” wright

phoenix “looking back on it that was actually a pretty dark period in my life” wright

phoenix “don’t ask me how i got started. i don’t remember” wright

phoenix “only you stood still, your eyes calmly watching” wright

phoenix “sometimes, life just sucks” wright
