Now that the hype has died down, what are your thoughts on arcane s2? (Sorry if you've spoken on it already, I didn't see)

OKAY I'VE BEEN MULLING THIS OVER FOR A LITTLE BIT (this is gonna be solely story/writing based cause I think the animation is flawless skdks)

I have very conflicting feelings about s2. on one hand, it really made me LOVE this thing that I really liked already, but had never been CRAZY about. I think s2 is wildly inferior to s1 BUT it did make me SO hyped and excited, and made me fall in love with arcane as a whole.

I think on an episode to episode basis, s2 is good. I really was hooked after every single episode, and could not wait until the next one aired, and I think (with the exception of the finale) I will probably be quite content to go back and watch any episodes again and get just as much enjoyment out of them. I think the plotline of each episode is enjoyable, and any gripes I have with them can be pretty much waved away as the constraints of the narrative.

I should also interrupt myself and say all of the above is excluding the finale. I didn't like the finale —outside of the viktor and jayce stuff, and even then, they're kinda on thin ice for me— pretty much at all lol. I really came out of it disappointed in every way: my partner and I watched it at 2am as soon as he was done from work and we were both like "oh. I didn't like that". we even watched it again the following morning just in case we were stupid and sleep deprived and missed like a scene that would've made it all worth it, but no. it was genuinely such a let down for me.

anyway, I think as a whole season, s2 REALLY fell flat for me. they seemed to have so many great ideas that they didn't have the capability to follow through with. like, I liked isha, but because I'm a sucker for little kids—she had no character whatsoever, and died before she could even get one. caitlyn's dictator arc? SUCH an awesome idea, and I was stoked to see this genuinely really awful side to her privileged worldview, all for it to be waved away in one half apology and a jail cell fuck (don't get me started on the jail cell fuck.......................... why).

not to mention, I think a lot of the things that made s1 so good were just. dropped. all of the politics went completely out the window for a big epic avengers endgame style fight finale (I could be picky on this, as a rule I hate fight finales LOL), and I get it, I was not anticipating the class struggle between piltover and zaun to be solved even remotely, but it felt so silly for them to forget about class struggle for the ENTIRE season, only to go "oh look! sevika's on the council, though!". also, did we just forget jinx has psychosis? cause the show runners sure did. unless you count her one hallucination of silco telling her to kill herself

(THE THREE CHARACTERS WHO HAVE EXPLICITLY BEEN SUICIDAL ALL DIE AND ITS FRAMED AS A GOOD THING. AND LIKE NO ONE ELSE OF THE MAIN CAST DOES. COME ON.)

(the silco character assassination is actually the one thing I don't hate tbh skfkskdke I know a lot of people got pissed like "he would NEVER! tell her that" and like ........ yeah. that's kinda the point lol. her delusions do not have her best interest at heart, that's why milo and clagor were literally TORMENTING HER LIFE for like. seven years. why are we suddenly mad when hallucination silco is like "kill urself lol" that genuinely seems very in line with something jinx's mind in that state would come up with. NOW IF THERE WERE GOOD WRITERS ON THIS SHOW the response of the narrative probably would've been something like "hey girl, when your delusions tell you to kill yourself.... maybe don't<3" and not "actually killing urself is the ONLY way to atone for your actions suicide rules!!!!!!!!!!" but anyway.)

all of this is a very long winded way of me saying arcane s2 on an episode by episode basis? 👍 yay fun timebomb rocks and jayce's beard is sexy. arcane s2 as a whole? 👎 yucky poo poo I'm so sad

are you prepared for 8am EST tomorrow? because I'm 1000% not.

might jump for joy, might throw up from anticipation. either way we are balling

[ritualslaughter]

Listen, you look great- but idk why I didn't expect you to look like that. And when I ask myself well what did I expect for some reason, I expected you to look like bakugo and I have no idea why.

my past is coming back to haunt me I always knew this day would come

[ritualslaughter]

for a short moment i think i suffered from brain damage and forgot how to read your url so i thought it says. rituals laughter. thought you should know.

it has the energy of „someone’s gonna die” „of fun!” to me

ZJLAKXKSK YEAH I have "religiousslaughter" saved too but I couldn't use it because I just kept reading "religious laughter" 😭 I can live with "rituals laughter" though hehe

[ritualslaughter]

ooo! which ocs do you have in mind for this challenge?? also, will you share the results? 🙏

I will definitely share them!!! and it'll be my ocs from project jovian :') mainly taliesin, castellan and ethelred who are my Main Three, but I'll probably also throw in some stuff from other characters I haven't really posted about yet, like lysander, tamerlane, and aspyn!!

[ritualslaughter]

what is project jovian about? is it a fanfic or an original work?? (if you feel like rambling about it!)

it's an original work!!! or rather, it started out as a fanfic idea that never came to pass and I've reworked it so much that it's completely separated itself from its origin askfjhs

but I'm hoping to actually start writing it this year once I get over the anxiety of actually putting words on paper lol !! it's a gothic tragedy set in space about godhood, generational trauma, haunting, and the cycle of violence! <3

[ritualslaughter]

"i can't do this today" yes you can bestie. you can do this everyday, that's your job, your responsibility, your holy duty. the pathetic wet rug meow meow men nation must survive through us ✊

you're so right actually, god put me on this earth to take an already wet man and put him in a bathtub for physical and mental healing. but be careful cause first you need to make him even sadder... this is also my curse

[ritualslaughter]

if you feel like dropping ur secret… how did you make the overnight oats 👁️👁️

my boyfriend is the mastermind behind them so I can't take any credit!! but his recipe is:

40g wholegrain rolled oats

125g low fat greek yoghurt

50ml oat milk (we like ours quite thick but if you prefer a thinner one, you can go up to 80ml!)

2tbsp chia seeds

1tbsp maple syrup

leave them overnight (tho tbh I think they taste the best if you keep them in the fridge for two days!!) and you're good to go! 💜

the toppings I'm currently obsessed with are blueberries, cinnamon baked apples, and a little extra dash of both cinnamon and maple syrup 😋

Funny to see the two of us obsessing over astarion at the same time

he's my newest little guy 💖
