got my dad to watch arcane with me this weekend while i was home from college, and decided to tell him about bbno$ being called into the principals office by riot, and he had very insightful thoughts:

old man got off a good one. i didn’t know he was hip like that.

upon further conversation, he treated me with this as well:

following that i introduced him to the idea of the hexstrap, which he was not as pleased by

so I saw this on Pinterest

now the similarity is actually uncanny

jayce's body type, FANGS (yes if you squint hard enough Jayce has fangs I'm not delusional), brows, and nose mixed with Viktor's hair type/line, jaw, and eyes HELLO????

not a huge fan of mpreg in general but oh my god Jayce did you fucking birth Miguel O'hara and not tell us

thinking about how ~the arcane~ in s2 which definitely wasn't just a rebrand of the void with targonian stuff thrown in for some reason was dealt with and getting mad about it again because the roots of a poisoned tree short story exists.

some mysterious magic related corruption of unknown origin spontaneously appearing deep underground that's affecting zaun environmentally? check. a powerful magic entity showing up to warn those who discovered it of its danger? check. the narrator recalling icathia, a lost city that became a dead wasteland after being consumed by the void, meaning that could be zaun and piltover's future if they don't come together to address the issue? check. boom, plot point achieved with no multiverse, no time loops, no demonization of hextech sending an anti science message, and no ripoff age of ultron final battle necessary since they could tie it all back to shimmer which was pretty obviously connected to the void.

the number of fics where the umbrella academy kids are being shipped with each other or even their FATHER is actually disgusting. the fact five/viktor is such a popular ship to where when you hit "relationships" in ao3 that ship is on there is disgusting. anyone who ships any of the siblings, i dont care if the show or comics gave them romantic feelings towards each other, you are disgusting. if you do ship any of them with each other or even their father i want you to block me right now so i never ever have to interact with you.

hey guysss I am soooo normal about this show(iam going to chew on drywall)

part 1 part 2

I love that I have found the Spanish-speaking Arcane fans on tiktok bc of the general consensus that Viktor would get to experience Jayce’s Mexican culture from up-close. Not only the food, but also the music; the never ending family reunions that he’s always invited to bc Ximena forcefully adopted him; the loud conversations in heavily accented Mexican Spanish mixed with Náhuatl that make him feel like all the years he spent learning the language in HS/Uni were in vain. He gets the full package.

accidentally went into the devil’s den (reddit) and saw someone say that viktor was probably projecting his regrets as an absent father onto young ivy and that’s why he got so attached to her— BRO COUNT YOUR DAYS???? I WILL FIND WHOEVER SAID THAT AND I WILL COME TO YOUR HOUSE WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT

[guttednight]

4 episodes into watching arcane with my family (rewatch for me ofc) and my dad just asked me “are those two dating or something” about jayvik. for context after watching s1 of good omens this guy told me aziraphale and crowley were just friends. and now he’s seeing gay and saying gay. unprompted. what the fuck.

Okay I've been seeing a lot of people talking about Viktor's characterization as a loner on this website and I don't think most people are getting it quite right. I see posts talking about assumptions of intelligent characters as being unemotional loners and about how he was so isolated because he was disabled and like. People are missing what to me is obvious.

The main reason why Viktor is such a loner is this asshole:

In season 1, before the opening theme, we get shorts of formative experiences in the main character's childhoods. If the main reason for Viktor being a loner was because he was bullied or at least excluded from playing with other kids, that would have been really easy to show. It's not like Arcane shies away from kids being mean to other kids -- look at what happened to Powder! But there's really none of that going on. He's playing away from the other kids but when he makes eye contact with Sky they seem more curious about each other than anything else. He might have been excluded but it's implied that this is not a permanent state.

But, instead of going to play with the other kids, he meets Doctor Corin Reveck and his seeming pet, Rio. Upon their first meeting, Reveck specifically flatters Viktor a lot, telling him that the reason he's alone is because he's smart, and lets him help caring for the cool exotic pet. For a little kid, this seems like a great deal... until it isn't. The pet is being cared for to be tortured, and Viktor realizes that he's only extending the creature's suffering, and he was taken advantage of to create this state of affairs.

Specifically, this creates the link in his mind that positive attention leads to being exploited. Not only does his disability lead to him being excluded, but things about that may lead him to inclusion only lead to bad things for him, too. Not only is he physically vulnerable, but his talents are also a vulnerability. This creates a lose/lose situation socially, so why participate at all?

And because this exploitation is such a normalized idea of what relationships are like for him, he keeps going back to Reveck, and allows himself to continue to be exploited, especially when he's in a vulnerable state -- he's just reverting to what he knows from childhood, that the good parts of him are a resource to be used. That's the obsession with legacy, yet at the same time he can't let himself be known to the public. Positive attention has been poisoned for him. He desperately wants it but doesn't know how to get it in a way that won't harm him. Jayce's love is what resolves this in the end.

the way viktor had to adamantly state in that weird cocoon, pumped full of shimmer and vanders blood, to singed that he wants and needs to try to convince jayce to join him and then singed had to make ambessa agree??? and everyone was patiently waiting for viktor to come back with the verdict???
