i wouldn't usually engage with something like this but my two cents about the whole Arcane head honcho saying this and that about certain characters is that i didn't even know who he was until two days ago so why would i ever let his vision affect my own interpretation of the story

we come from two completely different backgrounds, he will never see things with my eyes, he will never be able to extrapolate a meaning that he didn't even know could be there when he was writing it down

please let's all relearn to take stories for ourselves, original authors have minimal power over how their stories live on in those who experience them

#when did what the author says become the be all end all of interpretation #they are as much of a person in relation to the story as anybody else and externate what they reelaborate of the world through their own #vision but that doesn't mean they're not still incorporating messages and symbols that they can't fully read #this is a complex conversation and i am not smart enough to explain it #idek if I want to put this in the tags oh hell #arcane #JayVik #arcane spoilers #mushie has opinions #honestly I'm also seeing this whole situation from a writer and artist's who knows they have no control over what people do with their #stories point of view #the moment you put your art out there it stops being just yours and the best thing you can do is say 'well I personally didn't think about #that specific interpretation while writing it but I'm glad people are appreciating it enough to want to make it theirs'#that's literally it
