AND HES TALL TOOO

Hello there Jesus of Nazareth

Okay jokes aside, this moment is extremely beautiful and I'm watching this on my own, I cannot explain the surreal feeling that courses through my veins. This show is the air I breathe, the water I drink and the soul inside me and this scene, however the hell you see jayce and viktor literally doesn't matter. Lovers, platonic soulmates, idc. This scene is beautiful, in any context and any universe. Thank you arcane production team.

I am obsessed with this. I can't stop looking at it

Arcane Act Three Spoliers

Was anyone else waiting for alt Viktor to show up in episode 7 to help Ekko and them with their problem. I mean based on what we know Jayce might be dead, having killed himself cause he couldn't do his science, like he was going to do before Viktor stopped him. And even if Jayce is dead that still leaves Viktor. He wasn't even mentioned by Heimerdinger, like wouldn't you want help from one of the guys who created the thing even if it is just in an alternate version to help you. I guess maybe they didn't want people to know they were from a different reality but still. Viktor is still a very smart guy like hextech wouldn't even have come as far as it did without him. He had just as much as a role as Jayce did so why not call him up, unless cause something happened to him.

Arcane Act Three Spolier

There is nothing that could have prepared me for the start of episode 7. Like I am still sad about Isha but then my boy Ekko is back. The streak of pink in alt jinx's hair has me crying

I’m seeing everyone talk about Steb and like yeah deserved, steb is awesome but himmmmmmmmm

LOOK AT HIM

OMG

I NEED HIM

This is a very slippery slope but I keep seeing very conflicting views on Cait and I have an opinion.

I'm gna put facts first and then my opinion else I may go off topic.

Season 1 - Cait is very idealistic. She wants to help the undercity and despite her upbringing she's not as prejuidiced against Zaunites as other members of Piltover.

Season 1 ends with Jinx killing Caits motherand season 2 begins with the aftermath.

Episode 1-3 We still see Cait, seeing people from the undercity as people, placing the blame of the bomb on 1 person- Jinx.

Then the memorial happens and it's interfered with. Cait is appointed as head of a unit to do that whole martial law thing.

Not to mention the breakup with Vi and Jayce and Mel going missing. (Her other support systems)

Later on we find out Ambessa has been manipulating everything from behind the scenes in order to gain what she wants - power.

NOW YOU TELL ME If you are someone who is grieving and this motherly figure comes, basically handing everything you want on a silver platter, telling you that you are right to feel this way and right to want revenge. And you don't have much of a support system anymore. Would you not be more susceptible to manipulation? Did this also not happen to Jinx? Did Silco also similarly tell Jinx this stuff? But yall wna see him as a great father when he actively affirmed her abandonment issues and other issues. (I have thoughts on Silco as a parent and luckily I'm not blinded by being attracted to him)

Im not in any way justifying what Cait did with the grey, that was completely uncalled for and of her own volition. HOWEVER similar to jinx after losing silco, that girl was not in a healthy state of mind. Jayce literally used the hexcore to bring back Viktor in his grief. Even after promising not to use the Hexcore. People don't think properly when emotionally distraught this is a fact of life you can disagree with me but I've seen it.

What I'm trying to say is grief and emotional distress makes desperate people do things they wouldn't normally do. I don't agree with Caits actions. But I entirely understand how she got there and while her redemption could have been better unfortunately we aren't lucky like we were with ATLA. I do think Caits villain arc should have been a season and then her redemption take place over another season which would be the final season. Cait also does atone for her actions, she betrays Ambessa and she sets Jinx free. Call her a bad person but then you have to call Jinx and Silco and all the other characters bad people. They're all flawed and they all do things that aren't necessarily good. Vi puts on an enforcer uniform. Maddie Exists. Jinx killed firelights and Caits mother. Viktor became the #1 eugenics fan. They're all flawed hello.

"Cait is a bad person!!" "Everything was better without Vi!!" "Jayce was wrong!!" "Vi was a bad big sister!!!" "Jinx is a bad person!!"

Oh my god. Every single character is flawed. Because everyone as humans are flawed. Believe it or not no single character in that show is entirely perfect or entirely evil and that's why it's beautiful.

I just had a thought.

so it's been confirmed that Ekko tells jinx of the alternate reality to get her to help the fight. And we know she is smart. We also know that someone who was planning to do what she wanted to do won't be easily swayed. So do you think that maybe she realised that the universe where she's happy is the universe where she's seperated from her sister. Do you think she maybe realised that unfortunately the damage to their relationship is irreparable and they'd both be happier without being in each other's lives.

She obviously wouldn't know the outcome of their fight against Ambessa nor had any idea they would have to fight Vander. However I think she was planning to leave no matter the outcome of the fight against Ambessa. That's why in their fight against Vander, Jinx kept reassuring Vi, "I'm always with you even if we're worlds apart" because she was planning to leave. That situation with Vander just gave her a cover so Vi would not follow her because Vi would never give up on her. I'm more convinced that Jinx is not dead I swear im not delusional.

Arcane act 3 spoilers

Okay no one talks about this but canonically Noxus aka Mel's place of origin does not accept mages. If I remember correctly they view magic as unfair because their belief is anyone can be a leader if you have the strength and courage to do it. But magic gives people an unfair advantage. And what is Mel? A mage

Mel the daughter of a Noxian general (im assuming). Mel who has struggled with her identity as her Medarda her entire life and I think subconsciously her magic has affected that. Mel who is returning to Noxus (from the looks of the ending of arcane)

I'm curious to see how the writers will handle Mel being a mage if noxus is the next place the writers will focus on.

sidenote If noxus is the place they focus on MEL BETTER BE IN IT I SWEAR TO GOD WE BETTER SEE MEL. AND I hope we get a glimpse of Ionia bc Noxus has been the only place we've heard anything about.

"Vi is to blame for everything, in the other universe we see Jinx is happy. Jinx wouldn't have sacrificed herself if Vi had just hurried up and left Vander"

Yall didn't watch the damn show and we can see that. If you genuinely believe that you are like those idiots who say books aren't political and switch your mind off when reading. NOT EVERYTHING IS SURFACE LEVEL. SOMETIMES THE CURTAIN IS FUCKING BLUE BECAUSE THE AUTHOR WANTED TO CONVEY THAT THE CHARACTER IS CALM OR SAD OR WTV.

The whole entire reason we are shown Vi happy with caitlyn in our arcane universe. And Vi dead in the other with Powder happy. IS A SIMILAR REASON WHY THEY SHOW US MEL FIGHTING HER MOTHER. Sometimes, sometimes you can love someone with your entire heart, sometimes someone can be your whole entire fucking world and yet they do things that hurt you and you do things that hurt them. Unfortunately the only way you two can be happy simultaneously is being seperate. You guys have complicated relationships with family maybe your mother or father I'm sure USE THAT KNOWLEDGE AND MAYBE THINK oh hey it's a similar situation for these two sisters. VI WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON HER SISTER. JINX HAD TO WALK AWAY. ITS NOT VIS FAULT THEY WOULDN'T BE HAPPY TOGETHER ITS THE SAD TRUTH. It's similar to jayce and Viktor. They were unhappy apart.

ALSO ever think that maybe Vi didn't leave Vander right there and then IS BECAUSE SHE WAS RELIVING THE EXPLOSION AND WATCHING VANDER DIE RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER AT 14? I mean it's obvious too we literally see her having flashbacks. That man raised her of course she will have trouble leaving him.

Please stop blaming Vi for shit that you can't understand because you only pay attention to the top of the iceberg and not the rest of the iceberg below the depths.

I swear the arcane writers decided to write a modern day Greek tragedy.

Like if arcane wasn't an animated show it would be regarded as a must watch. comparable to how highly regarded classic novels and plays are.

Arcane has better storylines than most movies I've watched recently. The attention to detail is impeccable. The thought and love poured into this show is absolutely amazing and I wish media got this level of love.

So uh I just realised something

ARCANE SEASON 2 ACT 3 SPOILERS

I will say I disliked jinxs ambiguous ending at first purely bc I wanted to know if she's alive or not however I realised it's similar to Lucy Gray Bairds end.

I haven't watched a ballad of songbirds and snakes however I do know that it's never revealed if Lucy Gray actually died or not. And it is that way for a reason, to show that whether dead or alive she is free from snow, the games and panems archaic system. It is to show that ultimately freedom in life or death is the greatest revenge or gift you can give.

Jinx had that whole conversation with Silco about breaking the cycle of death and how it can only be broken if you walk away. She obviously kept that in mind and the writers wanted us to keep that in mind.

Jinxs ambiguous ending is to show us that the sisters can only be truly at peace if they are not in each other's lives. We saw that in the alternate reality ekko was in. They cannot live and grow and heal if they are in each other's lives. Some relationships cannot be repaired and sometimes the greatest gift you can give someone is leaving them no matter the pain.

Edit:

Lucy's ambiguous end is to show us that your freedom and silence can be the biggest revenge towards someone who hurt you.

Jinxs ambiguous end shows us that sometimes the greatest gift you can give to someone you love is your absence as your relationship hurts the both of you

AHHHH THE WRITERS CANNOT LET US BE HAPPY

ARCANE ACT 3 SPOILER WARNING

I haven't seen any talk about Mel so let's give my girl justice because I have loved her since I first saw her character 3 years ago.

I was always curious to see what they would do with Mel's character and I love that they did her justice. She spent most of season 1 struggling with her identity as a Medarda and feeling like an imposter

Ambessa always wanted Mel to be a strong Medarda (aka herself). Meanwhile she is the literal strongest one out of all them. She not only has the cunning needed to gain power but she has the strength too. I haven't seen her fight so I'm assuming she was mainly politically trained however in a tough situation we see her do what needs to be done and adapt. I think it's interesting how similar Mel is to Ambessa however Mel was not as a ruthless in her quest for power as her. I don't mean ruthless in the typical sense we saw what she did to Maddie without a second thought (I cheered when she did that) Ambessa was willing to do ANYTHING to protect Mel. She sent Mel away, she tried changing a city in order to fight the black rose. She even sacrificed her son to protect Mel (still a bit confused on what happened there) Basically Ambessa is willing to do whatever it takes to get what she wants, sparing no one. Mel however is not, her empathy is her greatest strength and that's what makes her a true warrior. It's one thing to win battles. It's another to know when to fight and when to stop.

I feel like I yapped a lot of nonsense here I can't lie

ARCANE ACT 3 SPOILERS

(Those are there to just hide bc these are major spoilers)

I should have known Jinx would sacrifice herself because it was foreshadowed in Isha.

Ishas self sacrificing scene has direct parallels to Powders hextech crystal scene. Isha looked up to and learned from Jinx. it would only make sense for Jinx to learn from Isha too.

She was obviously in a bad space from everything that had happened in her life. However Isha made it better. Isha died protecting Jinx so it would make sense for Jinx to die protecting Vi. which is ironic since Vi spent her life doing everything possible to protect and defend Jinx. I need to be able to go into this better. Jinx was protected by people her whole life and they often died as a result. First her parents then Vander, Silco (haven’t watched season 1 since 2021 forgive me if I’m wrong) and then Isha. Jinx would not let that happen to Vi.

Arcane act 3 spoilers

Viktor going back in time in order to find Jayce in every single universe because he realised achieving “glorious evolution” meant nothing if he had to spend eternity living in solitude is NOT casual. Them creating and then being destroyed by their life’s work together is NOTTTT CASUAL. (Keep in mind I can barely remember what happened and need to properly rewatch but I’m not emotionally ready)

Also I’m being reminded of a certain black and white haired duo who died on the exact same day a year apart.

SPOILERS FOR ACT 3

the parallels between powder and jinx really kill me

In every universe she carries her sister with her. For example in the alternate reality she literally has a pink streak in her hair. When she put on make up it was blue and pink and purple (her mother had purple hair too im gna sob) her nails are entirely pink (I couldn’t get a screenshot of it.) she lives the “I’m always with you even if we’re worlds apart)

In the reality we know she also always carries her sister with her. I saw a TikTok analysing their hair and tldr they said it’s likely jinx hasn’t cut her hair since her and vi split apart. And she paints her nails both pink and blue which are their respective colours. Even if she stayed powder her mindset towards family is still the same and it kills me I can’t put it into better words omg.

Arcane act 3 destroyed me it shattered my soul
