#well jayce is a bisexual disaster but still

[maxdibert]

My two gay ships in this show end with the beefy himbo attempting murder on the nerdy twink after a massive clash of interests culminating in tragedy and I don’t know how to feel about this but all I know is that yaoi angst is my passion

[shera-dnd]

AND I'VE WATCHED THE SECOND BATCH OF EPISODES

Spoiler free take is: AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

Spoilerific take is:

God there is just so fucking much to talk about in act 2. Like straight up it's all just set up for act 3 to punch us in the mouth and in the feels.

So I guess uh in no particular order then

FUCK VI IS HOT! VI IS UNFAIRLY HOT! WHOEVER DECIDED TO INTRODUCE ADULT VI BY SHOWING HER BACK MUSCLES WHILE SHE'S PUNCHING SHIT DESERVES A RAISE AND A PRIZE!

FUCK I'M GAY

Speaking of gay tho, Vi straight up checking Caitlyn out, calling her hot, asking if she's into men or women, and then setting her up with a girl in all of 10 seconds was fucking wild. And Cait chatting and smiling with that lady later, my god these bitches are so gay

and the little "but you're so sweet, like a cupcake" fucking killed me, my fucking god.

also little detail on Cait's character design, I love that her teeth are like just a little bit more prominent than the other characters'. Like LoL always had that issue of like their female characters all looking like the same cosplayer wearing different costumes, so giving Cait more distinct facial features was so good

anyway back to the gay shit, specifically local bi disaster Jayce Talis cheating on his boyfriend while Viktor is out there dying!

Okay those two aren't really boyfriends, but they're queer coded as all fuck, so let me have this.

In all seriousness though I love how that council woman is playing Jayce like a fiddle while someone plays a fucking literal fiddle in the room. Then our favorite idiot bisexual ends up LITERALLY IN BED WITH POWER.

Fuck that scene is so good, and paralleling those two boning with Viktor dying is such a nice touch, because even if it's not coded as cheating, it's still a betrayal of his closest friend

Also is it just me or are all those weird visions super void-y? Like is Viktor gonna fuck with void shit now?

Well as someone who mained Viktor like 9 years ago, I'm excited for this development

Oh right, the plot...yes...plot happened

Uh get fucked Marcus! Get fucked Jayce! Get fucked everyone who thought ISOLATING THE ENTIRE POOR DISTRICT OF THE CITY OFF WAS A GOOD IDEA! THIS IS GONNA BE ATLAS AND MANTLE ALL OVER AGAIN, PEOPLE!

Also jesus christ poor Jinx. That girl is so fucking traumatized I feel so bad for her. She deserves to be taken care of, not just manipulated by the local crazy scheming bastard...shame we kinda already know that won't happen

also 5 bucks say those weirdos with hoverboards are Ekko's new crew. Like he is the one kid we haven't seen since Act 1 and they kind have his vibe.

Anyways that was A LOT for only 3 episodes, and I can't wait to see how the fuck this all concludes

See you fuckers on the 20th for the grand finale and plenty of crying

Watched the first 3 episodes of Arcane last night even tho I haven't touched anything league related since 2012.

The non-spoilery version is just: GOOD SHIT!

The spoilery version is:

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

I feel so fucking bad for Powder, oh my fucking god

She's just trying to do the right thing, but she just keeps fucking up

And like I don't even hate Violet there at the end, like that girl just lost EVERYONE she loved because her sister fucked it up, and she's still a fucking teenager, so of course she's gonna respond like that

and like she still tried to come to Powder's side the moment she thought she was in danger

Like this show really is just "hey how much childhood trauma can we give these two kids?"

Moving on to the B plot

TINY CAITLYN IS ADORABLE OMG

God can't wait for her and Vi to meet, like I remember shipping the shit out of those two before I dropped the game nearly a decade ago

Speaking of ships, Viktor and Jayce are gonna end up making out before the end of the series

I mean they won't, but that doesn't mean I don't want them to

Like Viktor straight up interrupted Jayce's suicide attempt by calling his research notes narcissistic and then they became immediate best buddies

Can't wait for Caitlyn to defy her parents' orders and go see Jayce... just to find him making out with that bony ass scientist dude

ANYWAYS looking forward to the next block of 3 eps on the 13th so I can scream some more about how sad and gay everything is
