I think Vi is way too smart to not know she's intelligent but is also so self-deprecating that she believes that she's stupid.

Bugtober day 12 - Doppelganger
Something about dying and coming back wrong. Something about reflection. Something about true selves. Something about mimics. Something. Something...

The Demon’s Head had no need for such trivial things as vanity. His clothes were fine because they lent well to the weather and his own movement. His hair was shorn only by his own hand and kept to uphold sacred traditions. He wore no makeup, had no need for it. Thus, Damian grew up in a palace utterly devoid of mirrors.
The only time he ever saw his reflection was grossly distorted in the shimmering surface of the Lazarus Pit.
“This is your room,” Father had said to him, and while he was unused to the four poster canopy bed and the closet of pressed clothes, he would make do. He would not fail Father simply because he was unused to a situation. A good son would adapt. So adapt Damian would.
When he first saw the creature out of the corner of his eye, his instinct was to draw his sword and assume his standard fighting position. The creature copied him as if exactly in sync with him, even drew the same sword in the same way. Damian halted, waiting for an advance.
It did not come.
He waited for some moments, and then inched forward. The creature inched forward at an exact even pace, matching every one of his moves down to the minute twitch. This, Damian realized, must be a reflective surface. But something about the image in the surface seemed… odd. Damian lowered his sword and crept closer, quietly relieved when the creature did the same.
His reflection, this mirrored image of himself, it wasn’t… correct. All his life his mother had told him that he looked exactly like his Father, but his Father did not look like this. The creature in the reflection had slitted pupils, deep glowing green eyes, and markings all over its face. It had fangs, long and pointed, and sharp ears that stuck out from the sides of its head. It was… grotesque. Awful. Damian had the distinct urge to smash the mirror to pieces, all at once convinced that this had been the reason for both the lack of mirrors at Grandfather’s palace as well as why they had sent him away. It was to hide his shame, this abomination that he was.
But Damian couldn’t bring himself to do it. Couldn’t destroy something valuable in Father’s home on the very first night he’d been invited to stay. Regardless of what Father had said, nothing in this room belonged to Damian. It could not be tampered with. But the reflection… it could not remain where someone else might see his shame.
In a fit of inspiration, Damian grabbed a fresh linen out of the bottom of the wardrobe and hastily draped it over the grotesque image. It covered the mirror well, exposing no part of it, and he nodded contently at his work.
There, now no one had to know. He simply needed to… avoid all other mirrors in the Manor. That shouldn’t be too difficult.
Adapt, Damian reminded himself. He would adapt.

Shaking my head every time Vi has a scene in Part 1 of Arcane S2 so that everyone knows I don't approve of her becoming a cop.

Thinking about how at the end of Arcane... (SPOILERS!!! also if you haven't watched Arcane yet what are you doing)
Jinx reacts to Silco aiming a gun at Vi by wildly shooting around and ending up fatally wounding Silco while Vi barely escapes a bullet, how Jinx's gut reflex was to protect her sister even after everything that happened and after all the times she questioned Vi's loyalty, how Vi coming to harm was something she would not, or maybe rather could not stand by and watch happening - just like she could not do so when she was just Powder - even if her father figure who was actively trying to estrange the two sisters was the one intending to do this harm, how Jinx is devastated at not only the loss but the fact that once again, she messed up, she jinxed it, and then him affirming his loyalty and acceptance of her eventhough she just shot him, this all happening in a space Jinx set up designed specifically to finally confont Vi and probe at her, wanting Vi to choose her, "...then you can have Powder back", Vi being unable to do so and in Jinx's eyes Caitlyn being chosen over her and being abandoned again. The one person who she was desperate to be chosen and loved by fails to do so and the only other person that has shown her (partial, by accepting her current self but not her past self) accepance she just killed to save the one who couldn't.
Thinking about how all of this mirrors the end of act 1, when she by mistake killed someone close to her, she was desperate for Vi's acceptance but not gettting it, only for Silco to give it to her. Only now no one is swooping in, she is alone.
Thinking about how once again this is a night that will change her forever.

'Thus he ended his speech, and he doesn't say That he had wronged or spoken ill of the king, But he prayed that God long keep the king In life, in happiness, [in honour], and in contentment. And when, to the people in attendance, he said, With a steadfast countenance, "Pray for me," With a firm heart he presented his head To the sharp blade that carried it off in one blow. [And not fearing the great cruelty Of the sharp blade [...] Each one seeing that people bore great grief from it] The [three] who had to die afterwards Said nothing, as if they intentionally Had entrusted Rochford Alone to speak for their conscience [...] [The Queen] was still so curious [...] Therefore, they tell her that her brother had shown The greatest strength of any man ever seen [...] The story of the death of Anne Boleyn : a poem by Lancelot de Carle, JoAnn DellaNeva (Translator, Editor, Writer of added commentary)
"'I will,' he said in a good lawyerly fashion, 'not in this point arouse any suspicion which might prejudice the king's issue.' Unwilling to drop his line of questioning, Hales next claimed that George had spread malicious reports which called into question the paternity of Anne's child, Elizabeth. George did not dignify this with an answer. He knew his own sister." Hunting the Falcon, John Guy & Julia Fox
"But George refused to answer the question with the required yes or no, not wishing, he said, “to engender or create suspicion in a matter likely to prejudice the issue the King might have from another marriage.” Nor would he respond to any suggestion that he had spread a rumour that Elizabeth was not Henry’s. The idea that he believed Elizabeth was not the king’s child and that he had repeated such an untruth was, to George, so contemptible that he would not even dignify it with a reply." The Infamous Lady Rochford, Julia Fox
"George Boleyn's real 'crime' was to be Anne Boleyn's brother and Princess Elizabeth's uncle. He was intelligent and spirited enough to mount a powerful defence of his sister. He was powerful enough to provide the focus for Boleyn followers and, especially, those who would assert Elizabeth's rights as heir to the crown." Anne Boleyn, Josephine Wilkinson
#tsf repeated the line of 'george sealed his own fate' which pissed me off...so much#(yes these are screencaps from tsf. don't @ me)#george boleyn#first of all; george's fate was already sealed. so#secondly; i feel like that report from chapuys has been...misinterpreted; possibly?#(unpopular opinion forthcoming): i don't think he repeated what was written on the accusations he was brought#to humiliate henry (although probably this was a bonus)#i think it was more a matter of... he wasn't going to allow them to accuse him of having said something ('not even more replied better')#that they refused to read into the record. and accountability and possibly more a way to give one last blow to cromwell#vis a vis humiliating henry. which is part of why wulfhall was so infuriating#that it was portrayed as cromwell 'tricking' george into doing so.#because the next part (oft omitted which is why i've included it above) is that he won't say anything to impugn the king's issue.#and the NEXT part is to accuse him himself of having spread rumors elizabeth wasn't the king's child#and why would he do that. even his enemies admitted his intelligence#(christopher hales was very closely connected to cromwell and george would've known that if he fucked up it would reflect on cromwell and#thus infuriate henry)#as for his last speech; i wish he was given the credit that anne is given and deserves#which is that his final words were to protect his remaining family#but yeah. so much interesting in de carles. these men being fortified by notcing the crowd was grieving them; not exulting in their ends.

seeing several of these posts about the dav companion rooms and it has me 🥴🧐 since won't these be in the lighthouse? in the fade? meaning these rooms are reflections of the companions in a way few of them are able to actively manipulate. delicious.

Nobody fucking talk to me i just finished rewatching arcane and it was DEVASTATING I need to KILL
#i have some thoughts marinating about silco and loyalty especially in the last episode#and his relationship with jinx and sevika and vander and ough#its marinating its marinating#but like. vander's philosophy is loyalty above all else and the lanes reflect that when hes in charge#silco's philosophy is that every one betrays him/jinx and that's why he can fight piltover#unlike vander he doesnt care about the casualties or the suffering he causes because hes all alone. he cant trust anyone#but then last episode vander makes TWO choices that put loyalty above all else#the whole show we see silco's power crumbling. the chembarons are riled up marcus dies so he has no pawns in piltover etc#but he makes the decision to trust sevika's loyalty (even says 'i still believe in loyalty')#and bc of that she eradicates a threat for him. she kills finn and picks up his lighter (symbolising power) and gives it to silco#and THEN he chooses not to give jinx up not even to achieve an independent zaun#(granted we dont see it come to fruition)#but in making that choice he assures jinx's loyalty to him even after his death#silco was willing to give up everything hed worked for for jinx and so jinx gave up the chance of reconciliation with vi to achieve their#mutual goal#like. silco had made plans for peace and in setting off the rocket jinx destroyed that possibility#but silco was never gonna go for thag deal anyway AND silco was dead#like jayce said you cant make a deal with a snake and cut off its head#the deal was never gonna work. instead she returned to their original plan of building and using a weapon against piltover#which is the plan silco would have returned to if hed been alive given he wasnt gonna follow through on the deal for peace#so yeah. silcos undercity is built on power rather than loyalty but his control is fracturinf the whole time#its ultimately loyalty which keeps him in power and achieves his goals#ALSO the line 'is there anything so undoing as a daughter' is interesting here#because vander gave up his idealogy of pacifism to protect those he cares about in order to save vi#he gives into violence once again because its the only way to save her from silcos goons#but silco gives into loyalty and turns his back on his vision of a free zaun because of jinx#idkidk its all fun and muddled and hmmm#arcane
