We don’t talk enough about how fanfiction writers love to give character large amounts of non-specific paperwork they hate doing
Dreaming of a world where Caitlyn stood up against Ambessa way earlier, was labelled a traitor and thrown in Still water without a trial. Then when Vi comes to free the Zaunites she finds Caitlyn and returns the favour from all these episodes ago after they have had a conversation about how Caitlyn did unforgivable things in arc 1 and Vi went along with it out of love but it wasn't her and she won't let love blind her like that ever again.
Okay hear me out on this, hear me out. What if, instead of Vi “reclaiming her trauma” by doing the nasty with Caitlyn in her sister’s prison cell, Vi could’ve reclaimed her trauma by being the one who set free the zaunties inside of Still Water. You know, the place she was locked up in for years since she was barely a teen? The place she was abused in? The place that would have a more emotional impact for her arc and story? In fact; you could even have Jinx be there as well, make them have an actual conversation that is relevant to the the story? Fuck it, if we must, we can even have her to be the one to see Vander as Warwick. Because in season one they had more of definite and apparent caring relationship.
Just stuff that should’ve happened in my opinion
It is very telling that they decided to end the show with "I am the dirt under your nails".
vi got colonised tbh. it gives me that feeling when a rich white old man gets with a young SEA lady, brings her to britain and she only gets to see her family through facetime, and that's also the only time she speaks her native language because her man refuses to learn it
cait basically erased vi's identity as a zaunite. she loved vi in spite of that, instead of as a part of her. like how she told vi that she's not like the other zaunites, and saying 'i thought you were one of us' fully expecting her to step away from her people.
vi's been assimilated into piltover, even going against her own ideals by becoming part of the people (enforcers) who killed her parents, who were responsible for executing the systematic oppression of zaun. yet caitlyn's never assimilated into zaun, never even stepping foot into zaun beyond the first caitvi meeting and later when she was gassing the citizens. the show ended with vi living with caitlyn in the top 1% of piltover; no mutual exchange of culture. caitlyn never had to change her mind about zaun the way vi changed her mind about piltover, and remained oblivious to her own privilege and her family's legacy on zaun.
it's just that the sacrifices vi has made for cait, on her identity and on a moral level, has been completely one-sided. this, the imbalanced power dynamic and caitlyn's subtle prejudice against zaun (*) have never been acknowledged in the show. so for them to get back together and have their happy ending without some sort of introspective reflection feels. very uncomfortable. feels like cognitive dissonance.
(*) i say subtle because other than the warcrimes moment, cait often voices her opposition to extreme measures against zaun. however, she supports 'no extreme measures' and 'they are people too' as normative ideas, not really having the ability to recognise the violation of these ideas when it's in front of her and especially not when she's the one violating them. there's constantly an undercurrent of subconscious prejudice in her attitude towards zaunites, and just, a real lack of understanding
Can someone please tell me when I'm going to start liking Emmet again? I can't imagine it, but I know he and Bay will probably get together again soon.
How do you even begin to forget and forgive everything he's done? I really liked him at first, but he just went downhill from there.
He kissed Daphne and never told Bay.
He treated Bay horribly when he was mad about her meddling. I get that he was upset, but seeing it from her perspective made it so frustrating. Cut her some slack! I was already annoyed at him and than BAM!
He cheated on her and then acted like everything was fine.
He played the biggest victim, and the other characters encouraged it—"Poor sweet Emmet, he's so sorry."
He suffered no real consequences. The contrast between how people treated him vs. how they treated Simone was wild. He was back to being friends with both siblings within weeks like nothing happened, while she was ostracized. Pure misogyny.
He acted insanely jealous of Bay’s only friend at school as if she didn’t already have enough problems.
And now he’s acting all sad because he doesn’t want them to be just friends?
I wanted to grab him and throw him into a river. The audacity, the nerve. If he can't even be her friend after everything HE did to her, at a time when she's already overwhelmed and just wants a friend, then he doesn't deserve to be in her life at all.

rereading the scene of Rhys tormenting Tamlin in ACOFAS is just like…wow…i wish y’all would BANG IT OUT ALREADY ‼️‼️‼️
“I have EVERYTHING and I’m so HAPPY and so ABOVE YOU but I’m gonna come torment you anyway, just because I feel like it and NOT because I’ve secretly been attracted to you for the past four centuries…🙄”
yeah…i bet they’re not the only thing aching to be near his throat 😏
noticing his muscle mass is crazyyyy like this shit is GAY YOUR HONOR!!! 👩⚖️
your…mate…who…is…everything…you’ve…WISHED…and…DREAMED…of…and…BEGGED…for…isn’t…ENOUGH??? (he literally just thought that 20 lines earlier btw😭)
ohhh don’t we ALL want feral Tamlin oh brother, back of the line, buddy!!! 😑🫵
I just know Rhys was punchin the fuck out of the air on the way home he wanted to wrestle with that man badddddd
feeling a “hollowness” in the stomach over seeing someone in despair is just the other end of the spectrum for “something glowed in his chest” I’M SORRY I DONT MAKE THE RULES!!!
I will never be over this panel. NEVER. Why did they draw him like that!?
I have to explain to everyone I show this that it's not yaoi and his bones were just broken...and no, his dark abusive top wasn't the one to break them. Really, yaoi creators should take some notes.

I’m sorry to burst anyone’s bubble but no one in an active war zone is wasting their time fighting for survival by making dozens of burner accounts to anonymously spam tumblr user’s ask boxes with gofundme links.
All the "I would have also dated Dorian Gray knowing how morally bankrupted he is. Have you seen him?" posts annoyed me a little but I thought they were just jokes and didn’t think much of them...But were they really? With the amount of people on the internet arguing how "books are not political" and debating how characters like Batman would be republican I am not so sure anymore.

!!!Spoilers for Arcane s2 act III
I am in shambles, completely undone. The creators love giving us all we want only to destroy it in the next 5 seconds.
It feels so unfinished. Not due to any fault of the writers but because I still can't comprehend it. I really waited for a scene ala Marvel after the credits where at least one of the 3 YOU KNOW WHOs showed up Delulu is on max bc I still believe that we will get Jinx and Lux going on an adventure with Viktor's robot and Yasuo. (Yes, I know it isn't game cannon)
