#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.

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?

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

The cut they did with the latest chapter...Malleus was straight up a HORROR VILLAIN IN THE BEST AND MOST TERRIFYING WAY EVER.

"You're 'awake', aren't you, Shroud?" CHILLS LITERAL CHILLS

now, let's be fair to Malleus, he started out very politely! a dainty little knock on Idia's door. graciously allow a couple of minutes to give him a chance to realize that his rebellion is futile and all shall succumb in the end. then, when that doesn't work, a firmer but still unquestionably mannerly knock. then just straight-up haunting his shit

honestly, there was a surprising amount of Twst trying out just a little bit of horror movie in this one! like. you're having a nice cup of tea one minute and then it turns into Alice in Wonderland Does The Cube. everything's red for some reason. your friend's mom is actually a mass of giant shrieking arms rising from the depths to drown you in an ocean of chamomile. this is all a precursor to being hunted as the most dangerous game throughout a labyrinth by dopplegangers of your best friends. what's going on, Twst. are you okay.

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

pov if it were percy, annabeth, and grover at an event like this (based on their facial expressions)

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

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.

Mark Scout was built in a fucking lab to be my favourite guy. The second they introduced him by showing him weeping uncontrollably in his car I was hooked. I could watch that man be sad forever.
