Sadly, my hard drive got corrupted and I lost my art folder - which means I lost my Vijinx Week WIPS + this WIP of AU Powder and Vi dancing together at the party:
if the Arcane writers didnt want us to ship ViJinx then maybe they shouldn't have made their relationship in the show Like That
i am unwell 🫠
it's INSANE to me how s1 was praised for its portrayal of mental illness and then s2 did a COMPLETE 180 and validated (the season itself but also the 'I like Jinx better now' fandom reaction) all the most vile notions about mental illnesses and society.
s1 felt like Jinx could never fit this unfair society and so her acting out against Piltover in the end was karma, it didn't feel like the narrative was putting the blame on her for being ill and raised in a violent environment but on Piltover, she was the monster they created, her illnesses didn't make her a monster inherently it was how others treated her that did that. but s2 narrative does seem to think exactly that, that it's all Jinx's fault for not being able to fit society's standards.
s2 goes the route of unrealistically healing her so that the narrative/characters/fandom can go 'I like her better now' 🤮 but ultimately she STILL has to exit society cos even after being unrealistically healed of her worst symptoms she's still not palatable enough and needs to make room for others to lead a happy life without her.
this validates the most toxic notions ppl have about how society treats/should treat ppl with mental illnesses. that they are indeed inherently unlovable (so much for 'don't cry, you're perfect') and ppl would be better off without them cos they'll never fit into society and that's their fault, society is correct for finding these ppl undesirable, as the writers' attitude and fandom reaction proves ig.
They snuck in to The Last Drop after hours for a little date 🤭
Bonus: Jinx-ified polaroid version under the cut
Finally someone articulates perfectly the issue I had with Isha's entire character and death scene in particular.
If the writers and fans realized and leaned into how toxic caitvi’s dynamic became in season 2 I probably wouldn’t have hated it so much but everyone is trynna convince me it’s a great and healthy ship but it really ain’t. and that would be fine IF PEOPLE ACKNOWLEDGED IT!! but no they’re just ignoring it
