I’m sorry but I will truly never get over Ekko who lost his mentor and all his friends at a young age, then spent the rest of his childhood building a beautiful and strong community that helped get shimmer addicts off the streets and give them a new life that thrived off of trust, respect, and loyalty while slowly watching the girl he loves lose herself to her psyche and become an unhinged suicidal terrorist who he is unable to save despite repeated attempts at it. And THEN gets booted into an alternate reality where he learns he could have had EVERYTHING, the beautiful and thriving community, the education, his family, and the girl he loves and he heartbreakingly leaves it all behind because he knows he doesn’t belong there and he has to go back to save his people which he DOES multiple times at great risk despite knowing what overextending his z-drive could do only to end up completely alone in the end. The most selfless character in the entire series. That’s my boy savior.

i do not want to hear SHIT about how "jinx is a better big sibling than vi and vi sucked." jinx is going to be a good older sister because she had a good older sister end of discussion

do any other hypermobile people feel like it's impossible to get a good stretch in certain muscles/joints?

my shoulders are so hypermobile that i can move them all over the place and still be so tense. very over it tbh

one thing i love abt vi is that she is overtly masc but also has several stereotypically more feminine aspects abt her in a way that feels very natural (that isn’t to say masc women need any feminine characteristics to be “natural”, i’m just used to women who are more or very masc in media being more devoid of any femininity, so it’s nice to see some variety). i feel like they perfectly balanced her femininity and her masculinity together.

she has the longest eyelashes (at least i think so?), she wears heavy and obvious makeup, she has the highest-pitched/more stereotypically feminine voice between her, cait, and jinx, and she’s incredibly emotional. she has moments of sadness, of crying, of crumbling.

when i 1st watched arcane, i was honestly a little (but not negatively) surprised to hear that vi had such a high-pitched and “pretty”/feminine voice. i had subconsciously expected her to have a deeper one bc that’s what i’m used to pretty much all masc female characters having.

what i’m trying to say is, it’s nice to see a heavily masc female character that also has naturally feminine aspects.

Maybe THIS dose of ibuprofen will be the one that fixes me

I'm hoping this line continues the pattern from season 1, of Jinx being a stand-in for Zaun itself and viewed/treated by others in the same way they view/treat Zaun. This was especially clear with Silco and Vi.

With Silco, it was "becoming dangerous and threatening was what you needed in order to defend yourself against oppressors, Shimmer will keep you alive, give you the strength you need to fight back. You are beautiful in your destructiveness and chaos." He could be talking to Jinx or Zaun and nothing would change. He was a zealot who always spoke about the Nation of Zaun with reverence, and he viewed Jinx the same way.

With Vi, it was "you were my home under Vander, but in my absence Silco took over and poisoned you into something unrecognizable. I don't feel at home with you anymore. It's Silco's fault, and once he is removed, you will surely go back to the way you were before, to the version I love and miss." Again, she could be talking to Jinx or Zaun and it would fit.

Jinx is Zaun is Jinx.

If they continue this pattern in Season 2, then Vi disowning Jinx here would also be her disowning Zaun. Accepting that the home/sister she longed for is, in her mind, "gone". Grieving Vander's undercity and Powder in tandem, while scorning Silco's Zaun and Jinx. Leading to her being an outcast, not feeling like she belongs in either city, adrift and aimless and forced to find a new purpose. Where she goes from there, and what her endgame is, I'm excited to find out.

Im 100% sure that cop vi is a result and the cause of a situation where she cannot go after jinx unless she works with the enforcers. Or it is a ploy and a trick to lure jinx out. Vi is clearly upset and uncomfortable in her enforcer uniform and looks ashamed. She is not happy about being a cop but her entire character is about doing things she doesn’t want to in order to protect the people she loves. Being a cop might be the only way to keep herself out of prison and working closely with Caitlyn. Anyways I firmly believe Vi doesn’t change into a cop loving boot sucking hypocrite this season, she’s doing things she has to in order to stay alive and out of prison.

EDIT:Also the uniform is completely un aligned with VI’s character, I think symbolizing that is not her final character stage and she will cast it off. It is blue and she is associated with red. It doesn’t fit well, it’s too long and has a strange sleeve cut. She has a tutu???She is missing her red jacket that represented her regaining freedom and control in her life. Seeing her in this uniform I think tells us (the audience) that she is not in control right now and being backed into a corner.

The fun thing about having both ADHD and chronic illness is you can take an Adderall and spend 4 hours cosplaying as non-disabled then around 4pm your body is like 'here's your tab' and gives you the whole day's symptoms at once.

EDS can make you feel like you’re rotting inside but at least I’ll never have to pay for collagen infused products you win some you lose some. Mostly lose, mostly lose.

Hey I’m new on tumblr and I’m having fun so far so I thought I would contribute! This is just something that I have been thinking about a lot lately and so I wrote a list down for my own sake and maybe it can help somebody else too. Basically I’ve got a list of things that help with my chronic pain and hyper mobile elhers danlos syndrome as a young adult/teenager who works and attends school full time while doing extracurriculars. Im also neurodivergent so some of these things are just general sensory and regulation things.

- Good insoles for high arches (helps foot and hip pain while at work)

- Boots with good ankle support and a little heal for additional arch support

- Compression wrist gloves (soooo good for typing pains)

- This is one that is alot harder to control but a comfortable car if you drive is a life saver. Even just getting seat attachments that have lower back support will help a lot

- A comfortable mattress pad helps so much with sleep and waking up less sore

- A massage gun for working out muscle knots helps a whole lot too

- This is less a gadget and more advice but telling people you need to sit down has actually changed my life. I sit down when I need to at my exclusively standing job because I talked to my boss and received an accommodation. Even if you’re undiagnosed but you have chronic pain I would still give this a try.

- CBD salve for aching muscles

- Overall wearing comfortable clothes is so helpful. It’s good for when I don’t have the energy to regulate myself through being In Pain and also uncomfortable clothes. I love long skirts and sweaters mostly because they are comfortable, movable, and keep me warm (or cool depending on the skirt and sweater)

- heating packs and Ice packs

- Electrolyte drink powder things. They help me stay hydrated and my muscles cramp a lot less when I’m well hydrated

- Epson salt bathes

- This is so subtle and weird but contacts rather than glasses because I don’t have to keep my face flexed and posed in order to keep my glasses up.

- Hip or thigh bag like a Fanny pack or a motorcycle riding bag!!! Helps so much with shoulder pain!

- I use an Xbox controller for all my gaming even on computer because it’s so much easier to grip and control than a keyboard.

- the last thing is blackout curtains. I don’t have any but I have friends who do and I sleep 10/10 with those baby’s pulled shut

Anyways that’s my guide to not dying with eds!! Obviously my mobility and pain level is unique and some people need different and more extensive mobility and pain management strategies than I do, but these things help a lot for a mostly mobile girl, who just has some pain!!
