ARCANE FINALE SPOILERS AHEAD

Also this is all my personal opinion written while I am very sleep deprived like 30 seconds after I finished the finale. Take it with a grain of salt.

Jinx’s story is so irresponsible. This is a character whose suffering was shown in great detail the entire series. Her suicide attempts span across the plot. Her arc is about feeling like she ruins everything she touches, and the self harming behaviors that result from it. We watch in detail as she is beaten, screamed at, had happiness dangled in front of her and then ripped away again and again, and all throughout it she makes attempts on her own life. Then the final episode starts with one of the most graphic depictions of her suicide attempts, while a haunting song about the pain of existence and how death is a release plays. It might as well the the suicide theme song. Then the finale ends with her “sacrificing herself” while the same song plays. Smiling through the tears as she finally kills herself.

That is just such an awful end for the character. This reduces her entire arc throughout the series to just an endless pain train with no comfort. Is the moral that this is the only way she could atone, make things right. Are we supposed to believe she really is a jinx? Are we supposed to believe she is better off dead?

It is a grotesquely irresponsible portrayal of depression and suicide.

I know this is extremely individual but as someone who has struggled with self harm and suicidal ideation this scene was just viscerally upsetting.

I am so terribly disappointed in Arcane.

Does anyone else hate when you’re giving Arthur a bath and then you get jumpscared when he puts his fucking foot on the side of the tub

Pookie bear I love you but under no circumstance do I want to see a grown man’s foot up close

YALL DONT UNDERSTAND

LOOK AT HOW BIG THE TORTURE DEVICE IS IN JAK 2

wHY IS IT SO BIG?!?! ITS PROBABLY THIS BIG SO THAT THE DARK ECO DOESNT DESTROY IT OR COMPLETLY OBLITERATE WHOEVER IS BEING ELECTROCUTED/INJECTED

WE NEVER SAW ON SCREEN HOW BIG IT WAS

JUST THE NEEDLES THAT INJECTED JAK WHICH WERE SMALL

SO HOW PAINFUL/POWERFUL MUST THIS MACHINE MUST BE FOR IT TO NEED TO BE THIS MASSIVE TO INJECT THROUGH NEEDLES?!?!?! HUHHH???

It's dark eco that's why

The most dangerous eco.

BUT LOOK AT HOW BIG THIS MACHINE IS

IT SCARES ME HOW BIG THIS THING IS

EVEN WITH HOW FAR AWAY I STOOD (in game) TO GET THIS VIDEO I COULDNT FIT THE WHOLE MACHINE ON THE SCREEN

https://www.tumblr.com/pynkhues/775095247815507968?source=share this scene...i genuinely couldn't handle seeing him hit himself. and the breakdown at the desk was so so scary, if sam knows how to do something it's to make me feel like I shouldn't be watching someone be so vulnerable

I literally struggled to watch the breakdown at the desk. Such an incredible and affecting performance, but also one that just feels simultaneously so vulnerable and so unhinged? Like a true breaking moment for the character, and Sam just did it so well.

“Fiction doesn’t affect reality” well it does bc first of all, representation matters, and ppl wouldn’t find importance of seeing someone who looks like them or stands for their community if fiction didn’t affect reality. And, second of all, once a notion is showed over and over again to you, you can become desensitized to it. And yes, that something can be very real, that a very not-real depiction desensitized you to

It begins to cloud your judgement if you’re overexposed to it.

And yes, it’s proven that the media has direct ties to desensitization

“It’s just a joke, I didn’t really mean it��, locker room talk, and writing that glorifies rape and abuse all sets a platform for actual rape and abuse to exist- making it seem easier to think about, and easier for that notion to exist

If you see something over and over and over again in a positive light whether it is real or not, the very real notion will become watered down and you’ll wind up with stuff like this:

guys anyone else get super pissed when you let ur friend look at ur minifigs bc he also likes Ninjago and he decides to star changing them without even asking and changing around parts on his own.

like no stop it I chose to make them look that specific way if you change it my day is gonna be ruined

like just now I was going thru my pencil case where I keep all my minifigs that's with me at all times

and I saw DR jay with his normal mask and everything but that's NOT how I had him I had him with one that shows his face and with his hair and he CHANGED IT and I was so upset and was so frustrated trying to find the parts

if someone else lets you look at their Legos don't change them pls bc me personally I will start panicking bc I want them to be exactly how I made them look or else it's wrong.

My biggest ration & remedy is fan-content that depicts Future Leo as genuinely loving Casey. Loving his son. Like actually fucking enjoying his company and who he is. And not just treating him as "thing I have to keep alive or I'll feel bad"

I rotted in bed for several hours until I'd compressed my sadness and embarrassment into emotional blankness and shoulder pain. Is it really Wednesday? what the fuck. I'm sorry most of my personal posts on here are either gardening or grief. I hope your days are panning out better. Anyone have something good to tell me?
