Why Season 2 Of Arcane Felt A Little Off
Let me preface this by saying I adore this show, and I loved this season. I laughed, I cried, and I had a good time watching it. The art direction and animation is a masterpiece. This is probably my favorite show, but I think it's good to critique the things you love and this entire season I felt like I was waiting for something.
For a show titled Arcane, season one had remarkably little to do with the arcane. Yes, there was Hextech and magic, but the show was centered on this class divide between Piltover and Zaun and all the conflicts that stem from this. The very first scene of the show is enforcers killing citizens on the bridge, with Powder and Vi finding their dead parents' bodies. Zilco's reasoning for doing anything he did was because he believed he was helping Zaun, including raising Jinx the way he did. Vi was so passionate about her city and the injustice facing it. Caitlyn witnessing this injustice is what causes her to question the systems she is a part of. Viktor and Jayce (but especially Viktor) created technology with the intention of wanting to improve life for the undercity. Ekko is a revolutionary doing so much to give his people a community and a chance to live their lives. My point is literally every single character is connected by this conflict between the cities.
Now let's take a look at the second season. Where is this part of the story that was so essential to the first season? There's a brief revolutionary beat with Jinx and her followers but once they escape from prison, the show moves on from this and never touches it again. We see Caitlyn's descent into corrupt madness, becoming everything she and Vi wanted to stop. Eventually she realizes how wrong she was but do we see her make any reparations to Zaun specifically for the damage she caused? She gassed the city, poisoning the air even further (with gas that has been confirmed to make people sick in the long run), harming hundreds of innocent people. And Vi, a character so vehemently against enforcers in the first season, goes along with this for how long? Days? Weeks? And only stops when she can visually see the impact of Caitlyn's madness as she almost kills a child in front of her. These characters are flawed and I love that, but we see them get their happy ending without ever truly addressing or helping with what they did to Zaun.
Ekko sees an alternate universe of everything his city could be, everything they all wanted so badly in the first season. Equality, safety, education, food security, and more. He says he is thankful for the reminder and I fully believe he will go forth with this vision in mind, but do we ever see it? And that right there is the problem. We don't know what happens to Zaun in the end, we don't know if things get better. All we see is Sevika on the council but we don't know if that will fix anything since people have stood up for the undercity in council before and it did nothing.
I want to see Ekko rally his people and repair the damage caused by the war. I want to see Vi open up the last drop and make it what it was always meant to be, a place of community. I want to see schools open in the undercity in honor of Viktor and Jayce. I want to see the two cities heal from the damage done to each other. Fuck it, I just want literally any closure on this plotline! Just tack on a 2 minute montage of what happened to this city after the war and I'd feel a little better. But instead this part of the story was completely sidelined throughout the season and ignored entirely in the finale. I'm not someone that thinks every story needs to have a moral, but this show was trying to tell us something! The first season was screaming from the rooftops to beware of privilege, beware systemic oppression, to fight inequality, and I find it really sad that there was no conclusion for that.
I do wish there had been three seasons to give it a smoother transition form politics to magic but it is what it is. Nothing is perfect. This season gave me so much including the best depiction of soulmates I've ever seen in my life so you win some you lose some ig.
A poolverine sketch for the people !!
They’ve taken over my brain. If you’d like more domestic poolverine feel free to check out my fic! I might not draw poolverine as much as I’d like but I am grinding on that fic lol I’ll link it in the comments <3
A traditional Japanese Azula based on a painting by Tatsumi Shimura which you can find below! (I believe its by Tatsumi if I’m wrong please let me know!)
Katara!!
aka the character of all time
Thinking about how Annabeth has known Percy for about two weeks and is already unwilling to accept a world without him. If Percy falls hundreds of feet while the fates snip a cord, Annabeth will walk every pier along the river until she finds him. If Percy is trapped by a machine made by a god, Annabeth will kneel and think and struggle until she gets him out. And let’s say, years down the line, if Percy disappears without a trace, Annabeth will search for him every day for as long as it takes to find him. This show is doing a great job of showing how their fatal flaws compliment each other in a sad way. Whatever horrible situation Percy’s loyalty lands him in, Annabeth will be right behind, firm in the belief that she can and will save him, even if no one believes her, even if it takes forever, even if it’s not even possible. She will be there. People always talk about how Percy would do anything for Annabeth which is absolutely true, but never forget it goes both ways.

The Second Mandalorian Jedi in all of history
Listen all I’m saying is that Ezra would be a great Mandalorian and Jedi. He had Sabine help him paint the armor and while he was definitely going for a lothcat look, he was definitely taking note of Ursa’s geometric and yellow painted armor, a standard for the Wrens. Kanan and Hera are proud of him. Also don’t mind the Force ghost of Tarre Visla that Ezra sometimes talks to
VOTE FOR SYLVIE 😫
if padme had lived she would’ve started the rebellion and torn down the empire before the twins turned 7 and that is a fact.
anyways more poc starwars !! because yes
RIGHT ON CUE!!
obi-wan is my favorite character in anything ever because the cosmic forces that control the universe literally have it in for him specifically and this is something thats flat out stated on multiple occasions and literally everyone knows including obi-wan himself but he just keeps on sadly careening from one disaster to another as everyone he cares about dies in increasingly horrible and tragic ways while wisecracking every 5 minutes like it’s going out of style and somehow managing to become the sluttiest magic monk in the galaxy to cope. icon.
Weep for yourself, my man You’ll never be what is in your heart Weep, little lion man You’re not as brave as you were at the start
