But The Fire Is So Delightening.

The visuals of Arcane are amazing, but the one personal nitpick I have of them is that they seem to play by the opposite of anime rules. You know how in any screenshot of an anime (not all of them, but a lot of them), you can immediately tell who the main character is because they have the lost interesting (or at least weirdest) character design, like this?

In Arcane, it's the opposite. The most interesting designs are often reserved for characters who never have speaking lines, exist for one scene, or who have a short arc and then end up dying. It's like the further away you get from main character status, the more interesting your character design gets. It's not like the designs of the main characters are BAD, mind you, I think not every character design has to be elaborate to be good and I love several of them, but it's always kind of a pity when an amazing character design appears and you know you're only going to see them for five seconds.

Particularly I'm thinking of the councillors and the chembarons, that guy with the gold jaw, transgender cat lady, fish guy, and probably some others I forgot. I hope in future arcane shows the character designs get weirder, because if they pushed it enough I think we could end up with the wildest cast of characters of all time.

I would pay for a mod that lets your slugpups grow up

its my birthday i get to pick the mindless fluff

The thing is, I wish there WAS ace rep in the arcane. That would have been pretty nice. But, like, it is not there. It's like everyone saying falin is fat in dungeon meshi. I have no problem with fat headcanons for falin! But, like, in the canon itself, she's just curvier than marcille in all the scenes she's naked and wears baggy clothes in all the scenes she's not. I would say she has the average female body type, even. Do not put her on your good fat rep list or whatever. People are going to be disappointed if they watch arcane or dungeon meshi for ace or fat rep when they find out that is in fact not an element of the show at all.

The Chef, a descendant of Gourmand who lives between Rivulet and Saint's time (closer to the latter). He has lots of fluff and blubber to keep him warm, and has learned to harness the power of fire. The Chef makes campfires, which allow you to make meals and save your game! His campaign revolves around making friends with various Scavenger tribes by dining with them.

Vague doodly concepts for a rain world scug. They subsist entirely on water and and karma flower nectar, feeding from a little proboscis-like tongue which can also be shot quickly from their mouth as a defensive weapon. Despite being called 'noodlefish', they actually compete with the noodlefly for resources and thus have a hostile relationship with them. Though they have the same walking speed as a normal scug, they have high swim speed and internal gills that help them actually breathe in water. Their campaign takes place between Rivulet and Saint.

The Chef design update (chef is my gourmand descendant whose campaign takes place slightly before Saint's)

A hellhound, of a sort...
