It's so funny that Heimerdinger isn't even in the intro anymore.

SPOILERS FOR ACT 3!!

Translated:

I won't fail, I swear

Ekko and Heimerdinger explore an alternate world where they shape a revolutionary invention. Meanwhile, Jayce is faced with a devastating vision of a bleak future for Piltover and Zaun.

The echo of change

Piltover, Zaun, and Noxus collide in a brutal war. From terrifying creatures to overflowing magic, conflicts reach an unstoppable climax. Alliances and strategies are as fragile as the world itself

Ashes and shadows

A dark and unknown threat looms, endangering the fragile stability of the world. The future of Runeterra is far from being secure

Fuck I may have just saw the episode 7-9 titles

Now that I think about it, this is exactly what happens in ep 6 (except they divorce instead)

[thepixelatedbunny]

The biggest disappointment for me in arcane s2 is probably the fact that we never saw the reactions to the events. We never really see the ramifications of the shows events outside what we saw.

How did Ambessa react to Mel getting kidnapped?

How did Piltover react to Caitlyn's dictator internship and th Noxian's soft takeover?

How did they react when their Man of Progress disappeared for 3-6 months?

What we're exactly the effects of the grey on Zaun? They never really showed it other than the notes on the Kiramman archives?

Where are the Firelights?

What were the ramifications of I don't know...Bringing someone back from the dead??

What were everyone's reaction to this dude suddenly shows up a a Jesus figure that can heal all illness with seemingly no (visible) strings attached? How everyone in the commune suddenly changed personalities?

Caitlyn and Ambessa's Game of Cat and Mouse pt. 2 - "The Blade Cuts Both Ways"

Ambessa gives Caitlyn an update on finding Jinx, expecting that the update would encourage Caitlyn to take action. However, Caitlyn learned that they only found that information out by instigating violence against innocents, something she's Less than pleased about. When Ambessa says to her, "you don't trust me" it doesn't read as "your suspicious that i have ulterior motives" just more, "you don't trust me to handle Jinx/Zaun in the way we agreed upon."

Caitlyn's response? to throw her words back at her. "The blade cuts both ways." Ambessa not willing to commit to the terms that Caitlyn has set causes Caitlyn to not trust her. And you can see the suspicion in Caitlyn's face as she says this, that little voice that's keeping her on edge around Ambessa.

now Ambessa's response, "Fearless child. You never shy." seems like Ambessa saying that Caitlyn doesn't shy away from letting Ambessa know how she feels. and the look in Ambessa's eye seems to say that Caitlyn's playing too much of her hand, that she's starting to tell off Ambessa that she's suspicious of her.

as a response, Caitlyn decides to ask Ambessa for her recommendation. play into Ambessa's hand, seem that she's willing to take Ambessa's advice. Ambessa's recommendation is to arrest and interrogate people until someone slips up and reveals her.

Which immediately causes problems for Caitlyn because they need cause instead of just nabbing random people. and when Ambessa says "to return peace to the city", Caitlyn's response says it all.

"Why is peace always the justification for violence?"

after she says this, Ambessa goes on a long spiel about losing loved ones, playing into Caitlyn's grief, saying that she won't be able to properly rest until she's found Jinx. but adds on at the end that maybe she underestimated Caitlyn in being able to forgive, and you can start to see Caitlyn's internal battle behind her as she's saying this. however, if she admits that to Ambessa, she's most likely going to drop her, which will make her lose her ability to be close to Ambessa to see what's going on with her. So, Caitlyn decides to allow them to interrogate people in order to locate Jinx. it's not an easy decision for Caitlyn to make, but to be able to stick around Ambessa she feels she has to do it.

You can see the conflicted emotions in Caitlyn's eyes, she isn't inherently cruel, she doesn't like that people are being hurt by this decision that she's made, but when it came to appeasing Ambessa it felt like a necessary one for her.

Why I don't believe the time loop theory:

I keep on seeing people saying that Jayce is stuck in a time loop but:

If it was a time loop, bro wouldn't look like a caveman.

He wouldn't have that leg brace if he was constantly being groundhog day-ed. He would have looked the same as we saw him in act 1 if it was a time loop.

Dude was genuinely surprised by Salo. If he was stuck in a time loop for 3-6 months, I would imagine he'd just go fuck it we ball and just kill Salo without hearing him out

It does not explain the visions he's seeing

Now, im still on the fence on my opinion for the Jayce and/or Ekko and Heimerdinger went to the future theory, but I personally feel that they went to an alternate universe because:

Why tf is ekko dressed like that in the s2 trailer?

Like this is him in the s2 Act 3 trailer:

Why would ekko dress like a prince/piltoverian?

Also, why does Jayce seem way younger and differently dressed here:

Like most promotional(his poster) and secondary media(i.e the survivor Jayce skin) has him looking like this:

Anyways, im probably wrong bc ekko=time shenanigans but I just think its interesting

Please make this a copypasta

Welcome to arcane s2 where we have:

The dumbass friend duo. Somehow putting one of the smartest guy and the best fighter piltover/zaun has to offer in a duo cancels them both out. They only have one braincell and it's somehow with Caitlyn. Their only accomplishments are killing a child and missing point blank(Their target was as big as the hulk) with a fucking cannon. (Vi and Jayce)

Or

-The duo that can't stand each other but has to work because Plot. The moment they met, they instantly start insulting and dead naming each other. If they had more screen time, they would be the duo that would throw slurs at each other when arguing while at the same time, finding the cure to cancer. They still have one braincell but they do manage to take turns with it. (Jinx and Viktor)

some shots of Jayce's hallucinations in ep 6

[thepixelatedbunny]

i cant believe we got to see caitvi spit play, blindfolding and bondage

[thepixelatedbunny]

my DAD a catholic white man in his fifties saw Jayce attack Viktor while we were watching arcane and very distressed turned to me and asked "but weren't they boyfriends???"

[thepixelatedbunny]

Ok, I see your time travel/time loop theories and I raise you my alternate universe travel theory:

First I want to talk about this scene

(Sorry its blurry)

My theory is that ekko and heimerdinge got transported to another alternate universe

Idk if its just me here, but this isnt current bearded Jayce. He seems to be a younger, less rugged version of him.

Another thing is the armor(?) he's wearing. The black, darker pallet is the opposite of Jayce's white suit.

Maybe Jayce got separated from heimerdinger and ekko?

Also idk if it fits into anything but is Mel is also pregnant in this scene(??) Maybe i'm just delusional ig

Anyways idk how does the time thing that ekko is known for fits into this.

[thepixelatedbunny]

“arcane has such incredible, morally grey, complex characters - i love it!”

and yet the second jayce talis does anything even remotely complex yall rain HELLFIRE upon the poor man.

if you think he was fully conscious of what he did to viktor, moreover that he happily did it, i’m convinced you weren’t watching the show.

give jayce the same energy you give to the other characters im gettin pissed off with yall 😤
