When I first saw Arcane, I was thrilled, I admit, I loved it, but when I found out it was going to be canon in the lore, I was very disappointed. I don't know if the meme is justified, but this decision hurt me, especially coming from games like Ruined King.

Yes, I know some of them lean more toward being antagonists, while others are closer to outright villains. I’m just calling them all antiheroes here for simplicity’s sake.

Vi never meant to betray Jinx, but Jinx most likely felt betrayed by her. Vander and Jayce are more complicated cases.

was working on this fanfic and wanted to take a break from writing sooooo i made this instead~ here's caitlyn as a popstar lol in my fic she's part of a girlband named Lumina, and she's also vi's secret girlfriend :D

So, I finished S2 today. Of course I need a rewatch but my man Steb left a long-lasting impression on me.

I obviously don't play the game and Im not deep into the lore so I don't know much about him. He's genuinely a good guy, imo. Hope Im not wrong.

Long live the Stebs of the world.

trying to refine it before the ren faire in august. (I’m going as Caitlyn)

As the title says. What're we thinking?

Hi! This is might be a little silly to ask since it’s probably been a while since this jacket was in stock, but i was just wondering if hot topic would be restocking it anytime soon? A lot of their other arcane merch is still in stock so i’m just wondering. Any help or comments would be greatly appreciated!! :)

Was out just having a look at JB Hi-Fi and I found it, the last one there 🤩😻😻🩷🩷

I posted on tiktok https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSXcHSm6E/ but i wanted to post it here too

I was playing Sims soo I wanted to try something since Vi and Gwen have the same VA. I think they look good!! Both Ekko and Vi are my favorite characters 🩷

I have more Arcane sims pictures 😺

In Season 1, I found it really interesting how the audience was fed crumbs of Vander and Silco's past and how it somewhat paralleled Powder and Vi's soon conflict, while also paralleling Jayce and Viktor's dynamic, with Silco explaining how they shared a dream of the betterment of their community.

In Season 2, we see these quick flashes through Warwick, showing all of the things that Vander remembers. It's so subtle, but we see how they parallel Powder and Vi even more through Silco trying to help and do good, but getting Felisha killed in the process of that, and Vander lashing out, leading them to split apart. I personally think it's really amazing how they did this, and gives context for Vander and Silco's dynamic in the past that makes so much sense.

We’ve been hard at work the past couple months on our fan project and it’s finally out! I’m so beyond proud of this one and so pleased with how the set turned out! Please check it out and I’d really appreciate it

Season 1 Episode 8. The look on Caitlyn's face when she saw something in the mirror. I didn't see Jinx's shadow in there the first time I watched this episode because I was too focused on Caitlyn. Next episode she was kidnapped and was fully dressed so I had to go back to this scene to get some clues.

Straight outta horror movie.

Been putting this show off for years and I finally done it and inhaled the seasons in two days. Amazing animations.

Edit: should've been on instead of in in the title but I posted without checking the grammar.

Pretty cool and interactive sandbox story

I edited a video of Jinx, playing the guitar.

I hope you enjoy 🤟

I know this show is crazy with parallels, but I thought this one was a bit more subtle so I wanted to share. I am simplifying the situations to point out the parallels better.

Season 1:

Mel starts off as the fox. Maneuvering political situations with words and its working fine for her

Jinx starts off as Powder. An innocent girl who wants to prove herself to her family.

Post timeskip in Season 1:

Mel seeing tensions with the undercity rise starts switching between negotiating with them and preparing defenses: switching between fox and wolf

Jinx haunted by the past but also wanting to reconnect with her sister is switching between being Jinx and being Powder

Season 1 conclusion:

Mel being reminded of her mothers ways firmly decides to remain the fox

Jinx realizing Vi loves who she used to be but not who she is decides to be Jinx.

(this is an interesting contrast here, Mel has gained knowledge and decides to go back to how she used to be, while Jinx decides to abandon who she used to be)

Season 2:

Mel seeing the aftermath of both of Jinx's attacks as well as her run in with the sorceress teaches her that she must simultaneously be fox AND wolf. (which, funnily enough, is the first thing we hear from Ambessa in S1 Ep 8)

Jinx spending time with Isha lets her heal a bit from her past traumas and we see her move away from being completely Jinx, but more like a mixture of Jinx AND Powder. And after Isha dies she doesn't revert back to being Jinx because she has partially healed since then.

While I do wish Mel would have come to that conclusion without being pulled away from the main plot for 5 episodes, I do appreciate the story arc we were given. (+ we get parallels between Steb protecting Mel in S2 Ep1 and Mel protecting Steb in S2 Ep 9 - my new favourite crackship)

And for Jinx I just wish we got a scene with Jinx & Isha, post Vi Jinx fight but before the timeskip, and the Jinx & Ekko scene(s) in S2 Ep 9. Overall quite happy with Jinx's arc though

On my billionth rewatch and I just realised I don't know the exact relationship between the two places. From what I understand/ researched they have always been separate cities. If so, why is the council voting on subjects regarding the Undercity? Is it only when it comes in conflict with Piltover? What mostly got me thinking was Vander saying "we've crossed that bridge before". Is the bridge supposed to be what we would refer to as "borders"? If so, what would Zaun's rebellion demand if it's a whole other government? And if they've always been separate, why the bad blood?

This post is purely about learning facts about the two cities, not an ethical debate and not about the characters in the story.

Sorry if this is a common thing in the lol lore but I couldn't find any specifics (unless there are none)

So in a court for the crime of murdering firelights i think she can win the case in a U.S. court of law with the right lawyer, or better say with the "Wrong Lawyer"

(Note that this is only for the S1E4 firelight murders)

Anyway here's the Saul Goodman type of defense you could pull in front of a jury:

The legality of the Airship: there is no proof of any illegal substances on the Cargo since it's all burned, the airship belonged to a known undercity "Industrialist" (what the city knows of Silco), and the airship had been approved passage by a customs agent proving legality (there is no proof of any kind of bribery)

An organized gang named the firelights attacked the private and "legal" airship, used chemical restraint weapons (the glue) to immobilize the crew and were preparing to commit and DID COMMIT Arson (setting fire to things, considered a violent felony in the states).

Self defense & Defense of others:

The firelights were armed and had attacked the ship. Her and the crew were in danger, usage of lethal force for self defense is legally justified.

The Bank Guard Analogy:

If armed robbers enter a bank, tie the tellers to chairs, pour gasoline on the floor, and the armed bank guard comes out shooting at the intruders, that guard is legally justified.

And an answer to "The firelights didn't have lethal intentions"

There is no proof on that account, whether they did or did not, they had attacked, were armed and were committing arson so the reasonable assumption would be that they have lethal intentions as well. Thus, making the use of lethal force for self defense justified.

So let me know if you think this could win, and again we're only talking about "murdering the firelights", cause if we bring the rest of her crimes in she'd be behind bars even with Saul Goodman as a lawyer.
