I have so many thoughts on Arcane which I'll get to eventually, but before that I just have to say...

ANYONE who is complaining about how short and rushed this season was, or how little time we got with certain characters/plots... don't blame the creators or the writers.

Blame the streamers. Those studios, Netflix in particular, are the ones who are responsible for destroying TV and cutting seasons in half, and then limiting most shows to 2 seasons. Television has suffered so much because of their greed. Those studios aren't run by artists, they're run by moneymen. They don't care about your shows, they don't care about the stories or the characters or the fans, they just want money. And they mismanage their money so much it's fucking sickening.

And yes, it is a choice. It doesn't have to be this way, and there can be exceptions. The finale of the last season of Stranger Things was 2 and a half hours long. It was it's own movie.

So blame the streamers. Blame them every single day until we get greedy asshole's hands off of our art so that we have the space to present our stories in the way they deserve.

EDIT: To be clear when I say streamers, I'm talking about the studios, particularly the ones like Netflix/Disney/Hulu that can only be watched on the internet via streaming apps. Broadcast television used to be, and still is in some cases (Blue Bloods, Grey's Anatomy season 87...), 20-23 episode seasons. With story and nuance and side quests and growth.

Soooooo an F-22 Raptor just got its entire product line's first confirmed air-to-air kill... against that Chinese weather balloon the news was freaking out about

The F-22 Raptor program began in the early 90s and has cost a total of, according to one source, $32.4 billion dollars. It has been by most metrics a complete failure which has failed to produce a viable multirole air superiority fighter. It has - by the act of replacing certain obsolete aircraft but then being cancelled after the aircraft it replaced were retired - punched holes in the USAF's lineup that the F-35, its successor, cannot fill. It also has the dubious distinction of its production process being so monstrously fucked that it would, at this point, cost less money to invent a new aircraft than to restart F-22 production.

Until today, it had zero confirmed kills. It now has one - an unarmed, unmanned balloon.

In a very real way, the United States just paid $32.4 billion to pop a balloon.

A lot of Christians read A Christmas Carol and gloss right over the "pay workers a living wage" message and take away "not being merry on Christmas is a cardinal sin" instead.

Pac: "Alternative Bad Ending: Madagio, Pac, Pacovo." Look how crazy this is! Oh, it's a drawing of Fit! Is it Fit? [Gasps] It's of Fit, how cool! Wow, what a cool drawing, huh? The little eyes still gives it away.[Reading the text] "Sorry, Fitch." Fitch...

Pac: Guys, I miss Fitch so much, don't you? I wish I could find Fit again... Exchange ideas. Man, what does he do, "Calma calma" right? I miss calma calma man. It's complicated, huh?

Pac: Is Fit missing? Fit is missing, right? Fit must be climbing mountains out there at this exact moment. I can imagine him climbing a mountain, a wall. You know? About 15 meters high. There in Minas Gerais, for sure. Just making himself a coffee, eating two pão de queijo with cottage cheese, and going up the mountain. Wow, Fit is very Minas Gerais-style, right?

Pac: "Bom dia, bom dia." True, he says "bom dia." [Laughs] It's really nice, "Bom dia, bom dia." It was too good, huh? So, he's- we're waiting for this guy now. We're waiting, we're waiting. We're all waiting for him, Tio Fábio. But this drawing is really cool, huh? Thank you very much, Niiko.

Thank you for the translation help Kia! Fanart featured is by @niiko_synd on Twitter.

I know a lot of people take five pebbles being relatively young as him being like, a kid but like, Come On, I know he's been around for possibly milennia but I don't think it's possible to make a character who's more Spiritually 22 years old.
