have been reading kafka on the shore lately & wondering if the whole ethereal being that damien portrays colonel sanders as is a reference to celestialbeing!pimp!colonel sanders in kafka on the shore... idk maybe this is a stretch but they're both out of time not quite human colonel sanders

Israel being so close to winning this year’s Eurovision had me SHAKING. Both me and my dad were shaking💀 personally I didn’t want Austria to win as I thought the entire opera song was kinda bland but I guess it’s better than the chaos of Israel winning.

Good job Austria for winning again after 11 years.

still on my aeneid bs (this is what happens when i actually decide to study) and I was kinda pissed off about how much virgil stresses the sea and the ocean and how much aeneas has had to struggle & conquer the sea & venus herself has to go to neptune to calm him and it's just a whole thing I couldn't rly figure out

but THEN i remembered that ofc the link between aeneas and the sea is important, bc the most important battle in the civil wars is a NAVAL battle and augustus also had to conquer the sea to defeat marcus antonius & cleopatra. it's all propaganda...

[sandwich2451]

ever think about how in the odyssey odysseus loses all his men and returns to ithaca to his wife and child & essentially returns to his old life, whereas in the aeneid aeneas loses his whole family but comes with his men to a new country and to a future? ever think about how the troops and the army are put first in the aeneid whereas in the odyssey family survives and loyalty to your spouse is a set value? while aeneas loses his wife and she wishes him to find another woman as soon as he leaves troy? ever think about how the forced propaganda in the aeneid completely changes the story? ever think about how the iliad and odyssey cement a mythical past, whereas the aeneid is propagating a real present and future?? idk the aeneid's just been on my mind lately

Remmick, Ryan Coogler's vampire in Sinners, is written so well. You have a white, Irish vampire from the time of the colonization of Ireland by the english who is trying to deal with his own loss and 'hunger'. He wants to use Sammie. He wants to take away Sammie's music, his tradition and to use it for his own gain.

We have one more white oppressor who presents himself as a saviour. He inflitrates a black community, coming with the promise of... equality, community and freedom from death. But those promises come to fruition in a very specific manner. Remmick is the leader, for all the equality he promises. HE is the one who sets the tune the rest are singing. HE is the one whose pain is felt by every member of this 'community'. Every person that is turned connects to him in a hive-mind of collective memory and experience that HE controls and is able to use to his own convenience. Moreover, this is a collective that does not exclude the KKK-alligned family that was part of the plan to slaughter an entire black community.

Remmick represents a seemingly politically correct, predominantly white globalization. He presents himself as well-intended. He may even BELIEVE that he is. But what he offers is the death of individuality, of culture and tradition.

One of my favorite aspects of Sinners how they use the musical scenes to build tension. Because they start out small, with just Sammy and Stack in the car, then the performance with Slim at the train station, and then working up to the scenes in the barn.

The first juke sequence is the most visually stunning, of course. It's chaotic but overwhelmingly positive, beautiful, and joyous. When we move to Pearline's song, things start to darken. The thumping stomps are timed with the twins beating the man with the loaded dice. We've already seen violence in the film, but this is a steep escalation intentionally set to music.

Then, we think the tension is going down when the ******** show up (no spoilers 🤫), but they are so immediately unsettling that we never feel at ease. Their music is sweet and their voices are soothing, but it's a front, one that fractures pretty quick but shatters completely with the Rocky Road to Dublin.

Rocky Road is a perversion of the first juke scene, twisting the joyful chaotic energy of the dance into a masterfully disturbing parody, where the full evil and madness (and twisting of spirituality) of the ******** is put on display.

It's just such a good way to build the narrative. I love love love how serious they were about making music the keystone of every filming decision.

literally they're right tho 🤨 what're u trying to imply here

my friends are currently trying to convince me that The Mummy starring brendan frasier, and Night at the Museum are based on true stories,,

[sandwich2451]

mmg right that's craaaazy, cannot believe they hit us with the "and then they woke up" it's like insane of them to do. haha! haha.

crazy how ekko and powder are gonna spend the rest of their lives happy with isha, cait and vi are in piltover but visit them all the time in zaun, jayce and viktor are together and working on projects, mel found a new and better partner, nothing bad ever happened and it was just a bad dream🥰

[sandwich2451]

circling back to @scrunkalicious's post that mentions jayce's having an instrument lying around... do you think they played together because I KNOW they played duets

We had the Lorax of Piltover playing a ukulele in Zaun's square. I'm still not over it. Heimerdinger was out in the streets singing (a really cute song btw. I liked it) while Jayce was trapped in Silent Hill hallucinating his girlfriend and his boyfriend.

[sandwich2451]

as a fellow bisexual into Higher Beings,,, jayce i relate and you're valid. your taste is real and good

All I'm saying is Jayce Talis is a bisexual polyamorous man who has a type and that type is just, Higher Beings. His type is just Jesus Christ. Bro straight up wants to fuck God

Edit: damn bisexuals found this post hello y'all hope you have a nice day the post reached its target audience

[sandwich2451]

whatttt I'm not obsessed what are you talking about

anyways here's some quick viktor sketches no I do not do him justice but I tried

[sandwich2451]

what do you even mean why would you be in an asylum? she's literally alive eveyone knows that

"JINX IS ALIVE" i yell as i am dragged through the halls of my high security asylum

[sandwich2451]

Arcane really told us that Viktor would choose Jayce over a perfect world and Jayce would choose Viktor over any and all senses of accomplishment.

[sandwich2451]

about jayce's capabilities regarding the instrument (my guess would be a lite, maybe?): prob picked it up as a kid (or was forced to by his parents, i can see his parents wanting a well-rounded education for him and therefore getting him an instrument) and has zero time to play doing all that he does –

HOWEVER in my fictional happy little world mel and viktor force him to play wonderwall and riptide (or their universe's equivalent though I like to imagine Jayce playing riptide) (he hates the songs) (but he enjoys playing the instrument) (when he becomes rich and famous he starts getting actual lessons when he has the time) (but mel and viktor will always circle back to fucking wonderwall)

More general Arcane thoughtz bc I NEED to get these out and also I want more Arcane mootz,,,

Read my pinned post before interacting!!

This post has NO LEAKZ!!!! I HATE THE LEAKZ. all stuff either from s1 or official s2 teaserz 😇😇😇

The one that made me want to make this post in the first place!!! ARE. ARE WE JUST GONNA IGNORE THE FACT THAT JAYCE OWNZ AN INSTRUMENT AND CAN PROLLY PLAY IT????

It lookz similar to maybe what a guitar would be in this world perhapz......

I guess he picked it up on the side of science, it lookz like one of the only non-science thingz in his room, so itz probably some sort of side hobby

I think he still knowz how to play it and hasn't brushed the skill off to the side, judging by how the instrument is very visible and right next to his bed

Maybe Viktor or Mel knowz he can play it?

Jayce Talis should drop a CRAYZEE album plz 🥶🥶🥶

OOOHHH WAIT MAYBE THATZ WHY HE ACTUALLY SEEMED INVESTED IN THE PERFORMANCE IN EPISODE 5..... BC HE PLAYZ AN INSTRUMENT

Speaking of music!!!!!! Absolutely love Ray Chen and his work in Arcane, he came to my state a while back but I sadly missed the concert ☹️☹️

RAY CHEN CAMEO HUZZAH!!!!

Asian ppl exist in the Arcane world no wauy.......

I love how instrumentz look in Arcane!!! So exquisite,,

Hez definitely playing a violin, perhapz the giant horn looking thing attached is to help resonate the sound and make it louder, kind of in place for a small microphone

I wonder if Piltover has like, a city orchestra, judging by how art is so important in the place they probably love their music as well

I alwayz wonder how Sky also got into Piltover bc shez from the Undercity like Viktor!

I don't think therez and actual rule at the Piltover Academy saying you can go if you're from the Undercity. I guess it's just whoever can afford (or sneak in) is in, or perhapz therez sponsorz and scholarshipz.

Either she followed Viktor in sneaking in, her parentz sent her there, or Viktor reached out to her and asked her to be his assistant and she never actually went thru the Academy (or she did the Academy and then he asked her).

I'm heavily betting on the fact that Viktor asked her to be his assistant himself bc it seemz too coincidental to have the scientist from Zaun have his assistant also be from there

In the S2 teaser trailer thing, Caitlyn sayz "I will lead a strike team into Zaun..."

When will Piltover decide that the Undercity is now separate from them? I'm guessing maybe Ambessa had to do with making the decision.

Maybe pretty soon after the bomb??

HEY GIRL. WHATZ YO MAKEUP ROUTINE....

The lil gold spotz on her skin are 100% makeup, seeing as her flashback version doesn't have them

I don't think the gold thing on her back is makeup, so what is it fam...

MEL MEDARDA ALIVE IN S2 PLEAAASSEEE IM A MEL TRUTHER <33333

How was the Academy (?) building just NOT affected by the bomb 😭😭

I am CONSTANTLY wondering if the Academy building is part of the government council building, or if I'm tweaking and they're separate.

In the Ekko & Heimer clip Ekko tellz him "Don't you essentially own this place?" and I thought he was talking abt the Academy bc Heimer is the Dean of the Academy.

SOMEONE HELP...........HELP ME FIGURE THIS SHI OUT......

okay yeah im a big sky x elora shipper now i think they should kiss

yeah i already made a post abt them but. more arcane yuri is needed......

i think itd be like sky seez her and sayz "i dont think our bossez like each other very much" and elora is like "damn" and then they stare at each other n then itz like that one tumblr meme pic of two ppl making out yk

this image is fire!!!!! gonna be focusing on ambessa and a lil bit of cait. where is my one mutal that likez ambessa.......

What is the thing on Cait'z back?? I literlly have no other wordz what is that thing

HEEEYY AMBESSA

HER NEW HAIR HELLO??? GOURGOYS.....

Is it just me or does her new hairstyle kinda look like the sun? Or a sun symbol?

chat is this bc the Medarda symbol is the sun (if i remeber correctly) or bc Ambessa will be leading Piltover thru the war and sun symbol bc shez helping them see another day if that makez sense

sorry everyone he was gonna be here either way

I love seeing ppl hc him either as just "Eastern European" (which ig isn't hc harry lloyd said his accent was that but whatever) or go all out I loooveee seeing ppl say hez Russian or Czech (my personal hc) or Polish or whatever I think I even saw Croation once!! even tho hez not German i love using the "nooo little german boy" meme w him bc like nooooo little german boy dont confuse everyone w ur ethnicity!!!

my boyfirned......ouuugggghhhouugghghkhjgkhjgsdkhjsdbfygfvynvfgfvyu

hey fortiche. could ya do me a favor and like. show every single place where viktor has a mole thatd be rlly cool.....

[sandwich2451]

tbh it is very much the expectation i had of this season (which has held up!) — gutwrenching angst that genuinely makes me cry my eyeballs out

okay so obviously people have been noticing that viktor is literally jesus reborn (crazy that they just. made him jesus but okay cute character arc) but what i haven't seen het is this specific rabbit hotel post so i made it

y'know who hangs jesus? a ROMAN emperor and who do you see being super tortured about his feelings? JAYCE (= judas)

AND WHO IS THE THIRD IN THE VIKTOR/JAYCE LOVE TRIANGLE AND WHO LITERALLY SITS IN A TOGA ON THE LOW ROMAN BENCHES IN THE INTRO??? MEL!!!!

tldr my conspiracy is that mel will be the downfall of viktor as he's jesus 2.0 and mel's being painted as part of the roman elite (although not quite as emperor, so i wonder if her mother will fulfill that role...) plus it'd be rly cute if the jayce/mel traitor thing was there bc jayce is judas in this triangle

PS most definitely will be her mom as roman emperor as medarda's toga is RED (with blood perchance?) and in the intro you see mel in a white toga standing up (presumably in horror)

[sandwich2451]

I've seen the "comfort character but they've never had a day of comfort in their lives" post floating around lately and so I propose:

I am THEIR comfort character. I have a pretty good thing going on. usually I'm nice. sometimes I cry but that's alright because I have things to do about it. Let them watch the imaginary show I'm in and feel a little happier. let them be happy, my god. every single character on screen or on paper has had the worst time of their lives. i have an inkling of a feeling they need waaayyyy more comfort than I do. so.
