i sorta crash out every time theyre on screen together because why is it that when he talks to haru its “i want to get married” but when he talks to louis its “i didnt become a monster…. because you were there by my side, louis”
they suffer the curse of inexplicably soul bound but doomed by the plot that yearns for surface level cishet relationships(dont get me wrong i love legoshi and haru together but louis and legoshi couldve been so much more…….. paru itagaki what you took from me……..)
jax doodles because i like him. a normal amount
i dont usually do reblogs but this got me screaming crying and throwing up i would lowkey die for them
Reencounter 🫂🖤💙
finished omori and im reacting in a calm and collected way
realized i can draw whatever i want………
thinking about heimerdingers song playing while they cut from ekko with powder to jayce staring at the two corpses/husks/ whatever holding each other did this show have to gut me and leave my entrails spilling on the ground. was that necessary
watched the second movie and i could not stop thinking about this
im gonna throw up they make me so feral
Do we ever talk about how Stanley aged? And I don't mean in a "haha younger twin look older" kinda way, but just how much he ran himself into the ground?
Imagine what Ford was thinking once he got a good look at Stanley. Without the judgement or bitterness, without the haze. REALLY looked at him. His sunken eyes, his thinning and greying hair, the layer of chub that has accumulated on his torso and arms. The amount of scars and marks he had earned.
The realization of just how much Stanley neglected himself in favor of him. Neglected himself in favor of the kids, of the business, of everything.
Maybe even the realization of how HE would have looked, if Stanley didn't swoop in all those years ago. How HE would look if he had to fight sleep at night and work his ass off during the day like he planned. The realization that Stanley took all that burden, and he'd do it again for him in a heartbeat.
i so desperately yearn for an episode of gravity falls where stan and ford just get to talk. it feels like there was so little development between them, and ford not getting a chance to breathe before immediately being thrust into weirdmaggedon just makes his character seem rushed. he seriously needed a few more episodes to be fleshed out. not his character, exactly, but rather his interactions w other characters, specifically stan and mabel. i think they did an incredible job characterizing him but its so hard to appreciate that when the character who is literally the most closely intertwined with his story barely gets to interact with him at all.
it didnt even have to be much, just a small interaction to show them growing closer, or even to show that theyve grown so far apart that theyre not even in the same world anymore. something that would make the final scene with stan getting blasted with the memory gun seem genuine and meaningful. not that it wasnt, but it wouldve been so much more impactful if we’d gotten to see that ford loves stan as much as we’ve seen how much stan loves ford.
another issue i have is fords “redemption” at the end, where he tells stan to sail the world with him. again, it just feels a little.. shoehorned in there i guess? like, it doesnt feel “earned” exactly, more like the writers just decided that it was time for ford to make it up to stan and thats the only reason it happened. again, a few extra heartfelt scenes between them wouldve solved this problem. i just hate that it seems like ford never confronts the unjustified anger he had towards stan. it wouldve maybe even been justified if he was mad about stan pushing him into the portal, but being mad about the PROJECT from THIRTY YEARS AGO is insane hes truly playing the long game of grudges like brother you literally lived the most fullfilling life you couldve(prior to getting pushed into another dimension for 30 years… through his own invention…) in SPITE of what stan did like i just think maybe now that youve had time to think it over we can all be adults about this… sigh….
alright i need to write a fic where ford apologizes to stan and they hug or something idgaf
dont pmo that was NOT her fault😭😭 “im so glad mabel takes accountability in the comics” accountability for what?? giving a seemingly insignificant object to a person she completely trusted because shes a kid and wanted the life she loved to last longer?? no 12 year old naive innocent kid needs to “take accountability” man idgaf she never did anything wrong
downloaded this app solely to yap about jayvik because oh my GOD. also spoilers maybe
for starters. arcane as a show is just so beautiful to me because it starts with this idea that there is disparity and suffering and the concept of “oil and water” is something every single person suffers from. and it just continues like that all through season 1, just people, regular people, individuals whos lives we follow hurting eachother for the sake of their own artificial morals and ethics. we even see it in young viktor, his morals and individual ideas that mean so much to him(god that makes it hurt so much more to watch what happens in s2) and the whole season they lure you in with this false sense of believing that this is the show. this is the overarching theme of disparity, pain, suffering despite believing its for the “greater good.” but arcane is not about suffering. it doesnt for a second think this world is made to suffer in and yet it ensnares you with exactly that idea. because people love to be right, and we as the audience hinge on every word because the concept of people, individuals, being more than just black and white is something we all believe and yet adding even a dash of complexity into it makes it seem like this new idea that hasnt been done before. we mightve seen wealth disparity before, we mightve seen the concepts of everyone just being “people” regardless of who they are or what circumstances theyve lived in. but arcane doing it different, putting a little spin on it, giving us a glimpse into their war and battles and just how easy it is for these characters to die made us feel like this was MORE realistic, like it was different from all the others times, all the other shows and books and stories that have told us that everyone is flawed and yet everyone is good. honestly thats not even a bad thing, that alone wouldve made it an incredible show. but arcane doesnt stop there. every episode of s2 hit me like a truck because EVERYTHING was interconnected. every single action of every single person had meaning all leading up to one single point and still it all flies right under your nose because youre still thinking of “people” and “individuals.” you just keep following these characters in their own bubbles all with heaps of suffering and pain of their own and its so much that you dont even have time to consider how all these things might have an impact on one another…. until of course, the final scene. that godforsaken scene with jayce and viktor that genuinely made me bawl my eyes out. its just so perfect. its such an absolutely perfect cultivation of everything that has happened in the show. the way every single thing that has happened so far has been one single butterfly effect, one tip of a domino that has led to this war.
anyway forget all that im here to talk about jayvik uhm god that final scene with them made me want to die so bad. viktor goes back to save jayce time and time again knowing jayce is the catalyst to this butterfly effect to begin with. he goes back knowing that like all the other times, this one could be the same. this one could be another timeline where jayce fails. and still, he goes back to save him when letting him die would “fix” everything. on the other side of the coin viktor cannot be this prophet, someone who weilds the arcane, without jayce, because it is jayce who he hands the rune to, jayce who wants to touch the arcane, and jayce who stays by viktors side and calls him “partner” long enough for viktor to stand up on his own two feet and leave the man who man him. jayce cannot exist without viktor. viktor cannot exist without jayce. the string that ties them together connects absolutely everyone else and it drags them all down too and STILL… viktor goes back to save jayce. because even though he could choose not to save him, that timeline wouldnt matter, because viktor wants to save the timeline where jayce exists. and how poetic is it that these two anomalies end up going out in a flash of light holding hands good god i love this show so much
anyway i hope tumblr doesnt have a word limit theres my surface level analysis of arcane goodnigjt jayvik nation
