I’m a little. One thing I am a bit sad about is I think arcane has written themselves into a corner where there are too many plot lines to properly tie up in 3 episodes. I think maybe some of these could actually be tied up in hypothetical later seasons where arcane has “shifted focus” to noxus or other LOL characters or whatever but even then. I think there is too much to properly give everything justice. I think it’s is overwhelming to think even of Ambessa’s plotting, Jinx stuff, whatever the hell’s gonna happen with Vi and Caitlyn idek, Ekko time traveling, Black Rose stuff*, Jayce Viktor stuff happening in 3 eps. It was so much last act and that was without Ekko (which was sad!!!!)

* Black Rose stuff is the biggest candidate for a “will be fully resolved later” plot line. I think Mel in general also has been set up for a while as a “carry-over” character for the next chapter or whatever in Arcane, just based on how she’s written and how she’s been focused at. While her character writing has been interesting, it’s imo markedly more subtle/less drastic than the other characters in this show, and she’s notably the only main character who is not obviously a LOL playable character. She’s the only one to not have a major transformation yet (as of act 2, though we see hints of it happening soon), and it’s almost as though what we see of her is an extended backstory for her. Which it very well could be.

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

i can't help seeing the concept of "coming back wrong" as reflective of the aftermath of attempted (and unsuccessful) suicide. whether you gratefully accepted death at the end, or you struggled in terror in your final moments and wished you could somehow twist out of the way of your oncoming fate, the choice to die was taken from you. you failed to achieve the inevitable. how wrong must you be, to be unable to even die properly? how horrifying - and how utterly infuriating - would it be, to have everyone around you expressing gratitude or disgust at your resurrection, while you cannot even begin to articulate the depths of your own conviction that death, the inexorable maw itself, must have decided there was something just not right about you, and spat you out?

Nico referring to his mom as "Mama" implies he most likely at least used to refer to Hades as "Papa" and i 100% headcanon he still does but mostly in the manner of him having the entire Underworld wrapped around his finger for being the baby of the family

Posting a sneak-peak of this now because I'm about to be In The Shit school workload-wise, so this'll take me a while to finish.

Doing some character design exploration/expression sheets for Celestia and Luna. Figuring out Celestia's weird ass anatomy while I'm at it.
