But I have nothing to fear! For the blue bird is with me.
i love arcane
Getting a canon trans woman character was not on my bingo card but damn am I happy about it
Viktor just went from being some guy to my all time favourite Arcane character. Funniest possible direction they could’ve gone with him. Every fuck in his mind body soul was spent and gone when he emerged from that goop. Woke up purple from a near death experience and immediately dumped his situationship, quit his job, fucked off to the undercity wearing nothing but a blanket and then became the second coming of Christ on accident. King of protecting his peace. Imagine being that guy who tried to shank him. Some Czech twink with dick and balls hanging out starts glowing and then magically cleanses the poison from your body. I’d be on my knees worshipping him too man what a fucked up situation. Someone please get him some trousers
havent been able todraw much without my meds but how wefeelin abt the new season of arcane so far . .
summary of act 1
viktor vs cait innit
Clash of legacies!!
i realized during my s1 rewatch that they say that viktor's illness was caused by the pollution in zaun. and later when the rest of zaun's criminal overlords try to intimidate silco he uses his immunity to poison gas, build up over decades of living in polluted air, to establish dominance over them. there's a good chance that the reason why vi and jinx and the other younger zaunites don't have the same illness that viktor does is because of the ventilation system caitlyn's mother implemented. which would also line up timeline wise because there's roughly a 10 year age gap between viktor and vi. the continuity in this show is insane
Lest and Mel
ideal s2 dynamic
"The Hermit stands alone on the top of a mountain. The snow-capped range symbolizes his spiritual mastery, growth, and accomplishment. He has chosen this path of self-discovery and, as a result, has reached a heightened state of awareness."
Caitlyn: My sister in law killed my mom and I'm in my lesbian dictator era
Vi: My girlfriend broke up with me right after we kissed
Jinx: I got reversed adopted by a random kid
Ambessa: *manipulating Caitlyn*
Sevika: *gambling with her new arm*
Viktor: *is Yaoi Jesus*
Jayce, Ekko and Heimerdinger: What the fuck is going on
Mel's subplot:
locked the fuck back in
This this this right here is getting to me. Gif is from @terrapia
Yeah you could argue this parallels Silco but it doesn’t really. Silco didn’t want to give up jinx because she’s his daughter. Sevika doesn’t want to give up jinx because she’s a zaunite
And you know who that reminds me of so fucking much?
That’s Vander’s ideology right there. Vander could have done like Grayson suggested, picked any rando off the streets to take the fall for the apartment explosion, but he wouldn’t, because those are his people.
Vander was weak and Vander was a coward but Sevika followed him once, and there was a reason for that
Silco may have been the Eye of zaun, but Vander is its Heart, and that heart is still fucking beating
