I really need the Arcane fandom to start putting in the (pretty light) leg work to find primary sources, bc I see a lot of “I heard somewhere that the writers said-” “I think abc was supposed to happen, but they changed it bc of xyz,” but next to no one is citing a primary source to back up their claims.

“I heard the writers said-” and it’s always followed by some malarkey, like we can’t keep doing this.

It's frustrating when people refuse to recognize when Vi’s good qualities of being selfless and steadfast become a hindrance to her, and because of this, they don’t see her constant self sacrifice for what it is: harmful. And bc ppl don’t see the harm in these aspects of her, they see no need for her to break the cycles she’s stuck in, even AFTER we’ve seen them be detrimental to her.

It’s sad, bc Vi's self-sacrificing has roots not only in her immense guilt, but also in being the parentified older sister- a fact I rarely see being brought up in these “Vi should’ve learned to love/choose herself” convos (even though when she does choose herself, she’s crucified for it).

It’s also sad because people will swear up and down “Jinx told Vi exactly what she was planning,” after leaving the cell in s2e8 (which she didn’t, no matter how much ppl think Vi should’ve known), but ignore what Jinx ACTUALLY told her, which included “You don’t have to feel guilty about being happy.” Her words to Vi were also, imo, a direct contrast to Vander’s “(When ppl look up to you,) you don’t get to be selfish” line— a line she had internalized for 7 years w/ no one, esp no adult, around to challenge that idea (no one really does until Caitlyn and Ekko, and later Jinx). Her words also align with AU Vander’s advice to AU Powder, about filling your own cup.

Because ppl ignore Jinx’s words (in addition to Vi's parentification), they also don’t get why they were monumental to someone like Vi. Jinx wasn’t in a sound headspace at the time, and of course she wasn’t correct in saying there was no good version of herself, but I think her words to Vi were genuine and held considerable weight.

Sooo after reading SOTR, I def think something happened with Johanna’s games, and her being reaped for the 3rd QQ was intentional. Not only was her family killed, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the head gamemaker was too.

The 74th HGs was only Seneca’s 3rd year as head gamemaker, and Johanna won the 71st HGs. We’ve seen how no one is safe when there’s any rebellion against/dissatisfaction with the Snow/Capitol, including the head gamemakers (eg. Seneca)

Also, she played the weakling part up until the end, meaning she would’ve had less attention on her, AND we know the playback footage is manipulated, so who knows what all the Capitol saw of her games. Maybe she was also part of a plan to destroy something, like Haymitch?

Lou Lou (aka my Lou Shayla💔)

Lou Lou was truly one of my favorite characters from “Sunrise on the Reaping”. I also see her as a nod to the Black girls/women and Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW)— ppl who usually go missing and no one, especially the government, usually notices.

You’d think THG fans would’ve learned something from ppl’s over-a-decade-old folly of headcanoning Rue and Thresh to be white, but nah. Instead, we’re witnessing the same thing happen to Louella/Lou Lou and Ampert😵‍💫. Like I can’t believe we gotta bear witness to this stuff AGAIN😭!

Louella is quite literally from the Seam, and Lou Lou is from District 11, which we know is MAJORITY Black. Because of this, I read them as Black or Indigenous or Melungeon, and tbh, I’d be pretty surprised if a white actor(s) was cast to play them.

(Also: Personally, I see her as a nod to the Black girls/women and Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW)— people who usually go missing, and no one, esp the government, usually notices, outside of their own community. This is just my perspective tho.)

I just finished reading “Sunrise on the Reaping” and WOW. I think it might be my new fav in the series next to CF.

I have yet to read TBOSAS tho. I’ve seen the movie twice and liked it, but ik they changed or left out some stuff from the books. Maybe I’ll read it one day so I can finally have the whole book series in my head!
