#with glorious purpose he is burdened

[missfay49]

he just BECOMES as yggdrasil? he just, you don't understand, he just becomes the tree? the core of time itself? he just wields the power of literal gods and transforms the flow of all timelines into a tree, using the timelines themselves as the fibers and pathways to create a self-supporting structure that he feeds his own power through like life-support? for all of eternity? to keep everyone and everything in existence EXISTING??? he just takes the form of the thing he has grown up knowing about, yggdrasil, for his whole life, dreaming of conquering all sentient life forms on all the trees branches, and instead of conquering it, he creates and powers and guides the very flow of time itself that those people will freely live upon? the symbolism. i'm dying, the symbolism. yall. yalllll.

Why is this how I learn that the funny chrimmas zoroark is a fucking TTRPG character

(Also, getting into a pokemon ttrpg would be cool as hell but I never get the opportunity to set anything up)

Born to be funny chrimmas tree, forced to roll critical fails 😔🙏

my  hot  take:     loki  spent  the  majority  of  avengers  as  the  “villain”  yes ,  but  he  cared  about  nothing ,  and  absolutely  nothing  other  than  to  hurt  odin.  him  trying  to  take  over  nyc  ,  all  that  chaos  and    havoc  for  attention.  a  literal  cry  for  help.   the novel  is  the  reason  i  can’t  stand  odin  ,  the  “ father  “   that  had  an   anti  -  magic  use rule  in  asgard   because  he  feared  loki  so  much.   he  "SAVED  HIM"  for  brownie  points ,  placed  a  glamour  upon  him  to  hide  the  frost   giant;  any  physical   indication  that  would  show  he  wasn’t  asgardian ,  and  continued  to  allow  him  to  think  he  saw  loki  and  thor  as  equal  potential  kings  to  the  throne.  odin’s   true   reason   for   saving  loki  was  to  use  him  as  collateral   damage  in  the   alliance   with   the  frost  giants  ,  he  was  nothing  more  than  a  collected   relic.    odin  banishes  amora  to  her  death  on   midgard  that  will  drain  her  power ,   and  to  loki’s  face  told  him  it  was  on  purpose  because  he  knew  what  amora  meant  to  him.  it  was  a  warning.   he  didn’t  like  the  challenge  of  who  they  were  together ,  and  how  they’d  continue  to  be  years  from  then.   amora  was  the  one  that  opened  loki’s  eyes  on  who  odin  really  was ,  instilling confidence and  pushing  him  to  practice  his  magic, rather than suppress it. odin  even  sends  loki  to  midgard  just  to  keep  him  out  of  asgard.  

the  constant  battle  and  argument  between  himself  and  thor,  is  loki  trying  to  make  thor  see  odin  the  way  he  does.  even  in  childhood  its  clear  as  day  the  mistreatment ,  but  thor’s  understandable  respect  for  odin  will  always  hold  a  veil  over  that  truth;   and  thats  why  i  find  it  so  interesting,  but  also  need  the  automatic  distrust  that  comes  from  thor  to  be  scrapped  because  their  brotherhood  in  the  book  surpasses what was attempted on the screen.        the  only  reason  loki  is  seen  hurt  when  odin  actually  passes  in  ragnarok   is  because  he’s  relieved  to  be  apart  from  the  reminder  there  was  never  love  there.  odin  hated  him  purely  ,  he  despised  him.  he  wanted  him  to  be  a  specific  version  that  was  never  really  true.   every  day  of  his  childhood  moving  forward  was  a  reminder  he  was  never  enough  and  actually  ,  odin  was  the  monster.

I CANNOT EXPRESS THE UTTER TALENT THOSE WRITERS HAVE

THIS IS OFFICIALLY MY FAVORITE SERIES EVER

THE ENDING

I'M CRYING

Something that has really bugged me about season two is Jinx's hallucinations and PTSD. It magically disappears when Silco dies, save for two scenes. I remember when people on reddit were literally making jokes about the writers going this route because it would be so stupid.

One of the things I loved about season one was the realistic depictions of mental illness that you just don't see often in media. I don't know what it is like to experience schizophrenia, but I have experienced PTSD and paranoia, and seeing how it was represented in Arcane was actually one of the things that helped me through it.

And then season 2 comes around and they just completely neglect this side of Jinx.

PTSD isn't a switch that can magically be flipped off. Recovery is a slow and gradual process. In absolutely no world would Jinx killing yet another family member cure her of her conditions, it would make them 10 times worse. Not to mention just before killing him she has an extremely severe psychotic episode, which would only make forgetting her trauma even more difficult since it was just brought up fresh in her mind.

And what even about the end of s1 was it that healed her? I genuinely have no idea, because she finally chooses Jinx only to once again go back and forth between Jinx and Powder in season two, because apparently all that buildup for her final decision was for nothing.

She does experience two hallucinations (I'm not going to count the jail silco thing in act three because what even was that?) when she sees enforcer Vi and when Sevika talks about the attack at Vander's statue, but suddenly that is all that triggers her?

In season one, just seeing Vi, or even someone who looks like Vi triggers her. But now when Vi is literally trying to capture and possibly kill her she is fine, it's only the mask that bothers her? Wasn't that her worst fear, that Silco and Sevika were right, that Vi only wanted to stop her? And she is constantly triggered by Cait in season 1 but not 2?

And then there was the insulting ending, where jail Silco tells Jinx to 'break the cycle' (something he would absolutely never do) and Jinx finally finds redemption by realizing she is purely a burden and her family would be better off believing she is dead. So she literally kills herself after Isha kills herself in what is framed as an act of heroism (and if Jinx actually didnt, than what even was the point of that scene, besides a cheap fake out?) What happened to Ekko trying to stop Jinx from doing that? What happened to Silco having Singed revive her to save her life after she attempts to take it? Or Jayce and Viktor talking each other out of it? Or Silco choosing to keep fighting rather than give in to the "peace in water"?

On purpose or not season 2 frames suicide as a glorious, edgy, perhaps even necessary thing and it's disgusting.

Viktor knew all along he was about to die in episode 6 because that’s what he needed to become the perfect being.

Let me explain:

In the beginning of the episode, Sky informed us that Viktor himself said « all systems have limits. ». Later, we have Singed who told Viktor is getting weaker: he cannot save everyone and he needed to survive. Viktor knew it already, he knew his arcane/hextech evolution is not perfect yet.

But strangely, Viktor answered to both of them that Vander deserved the risk.

Vander was an exceptional human and leader for Zaun. Even with his transformation, a part of him remained intact, thanks to the beautiful connections and memories he had with his loved ones—Jinx, Vi, Silco, Vi and Jinx’s parents.

Viktor was so touched by Vander’s beautiful soul that he wanted to give emotions and humanity a chance again.

Viktor genuinely wanted to save Vander and he became so absorbed in this goal that he forgot about Jayce’s arrival, which explains why none of the people in his sect tried to stop Jayce.

When he had seen Jayce, Viktor was not surprised. He knew what was coming because he told him himself to visit him in the beginning of the episode.

Even though he couldn’t save Vander as he had hoped, Viktor didn’t lose. Because with Jayce killing him, Viktor realised the true purpose of everything he had set into motion.

Viktor had his confirmation: losing his power and his death was the true limits in his arcane/hextech form. He couldn’t reach for more again with it and have a real impact on human life. He also solidified his belief while witnessing raw, unfiltered human emotions in each persons in the camp—grief, anger, despair, and love:

Emotions were a burden, chaining humans to their suffering and flaws.

So, yes. Viktor allowed Jayce to kill him, knowing that his “death” would pave the way for his ultimate rebirth—a new, perfected form of existence, free of the flaws he had come to realise. This was never his defeat; it was his final step toward his final glorious evolution.
