I still can't believe the best Arcane character is so hated. Even if he's not your favorite, there's literally no reason to hate him when he's LITERALLY the best person in the whole damn show. He's not perfect at all, but come on!

*Racism*

Honestly, what's next? Kicking puppies?

Sending hate mail to Ekko's VA is so pathetic. People have so much time to hate and write mean comments online, cowards. I don't understand people who say the ship is homophobic. I'm a fucking lesbian, and no, I don't like bananas being stuffed in my donut (sorry if that sounded rude), but liking the couple doesn't make me any less lesbian, thank you very much. The funny thing is, a lot of queer women love this couple.

I'm starting to think it's all just absolute trolling by some unhappy guy, like those who comment nasty things on YouTube to purposefully piss off the audience. Otherwise, this generation hasn't grown up at all.

(And yes, this is a comment to vent about what happened with Vi replacing Ekko, hate doesn't work ladies and gentlemen, it only shows how rotten you are inside to believe that this is okay)

Twitter arcane sucks

I could cry...

One day I will find the perfect Timebomb fanfic, and if I don’t, then I pray that my creative block will free me

[snow-lite]

Why is that so sexy??..

On the one hand Silco ABSOLUTELY DID NOT deserve what Vander did to him, it was absolutely horrific and he is such a tragic character.

On the other hand, given how this mf monologues constantly and makes it his life mission to cause maximum psychic damage to anyone he interacts with at all times, it's a bit of a shock he didn't get throttled sooner

Didnt i cry enough ? Bordel de merde

we should've gotten something more romantic for the music video.

jinx was in pain. she didn't need romanticisation, she needed understanding. comfort. and that's what ekko gave her. the cues of intimacy are so easily spotted within the music video. we didn't need a big spontaneous love gesture, because that's so out of character for both of them, especially considering jinx's state.what we got out of the music video was the understanding that ekko was jinx's rock during the time they spent together. and personally, i think that's more romantic and tender than any making out we couldve seen. because ekko loved her at her highest and her lowest.

YEAH WE DO !!

In my mind, this is what happened after Ekko talked Jinx off the ledge.

Also, first time using digital tools! That was fun! Definitely doing more!

I'll get over it, someday. Maybe. Maybe not. Probably not. Definitely not...

For me, it was accidentally reading the best TimeBomb fic known to the fandom, My Boy Savior. Definitely did the trick...

A lot of people have been TimeBomb shippers since Jinx was introduced in 2013, others shipped them after the Bridge. For me it all clicked into place with Season 2 Act 3. I love Episode 7, but what happened was I started thinking about that beautiful unknown between Ekko saving Jinx and them diving into battle together. Did they reconcile? Did they apologise to each other? Did they express their true feelings? Did Jinx feel the same way? Did they agree to be... something, for what little time they had left? I started yearning for Mainverse Jinx and Ekko to be together once and for all, but I also treasured that pain of knowing they wouldn't be. TimeBomb, for me, is a sweet forever open wound, a longing for, as Sting says, what could have been.

When did you become a TimeBomber? What aspect of their relationships fascinated you the most when you started?

Been rotating that last episode in my head

AoT Analysis - Eren & Reiner (Spoilers)

Locked within the walls of the Shiganshina district, Eren and the Reiner have their second, and I think final, showdown. This rematch has been a long time coming, and after everything that’s happened, I believe it is very important that Eren defeats Reiner here.

The walls create a sort of caged match for the two – there’s no running away, and it is highly unlikely that Bertolt will be able to bail Reiner out like last time due to Armin’s advice. It seems fitting that Shiganshina, the place where the two first met, be the place where their conflict comes to its climax.

Eren and Reiner have perhaps the most complex rivalry in the series. It’s more pronounced than Mikasa vs Annie or Levi vs Kenny because Eren and Reiner’s story is the tale of the fallen friend. Eren and Annie had a similar relationship of mutual respect and friendship, but Reiner was more than a friend or mentor to Eren; he was his brother and idol. Before Levi even showed up, it was Reiner that Eren idolized most and wanted desperately to be. His courage, leadership, strength, wisdom and especially his kind heart inspired Eren during a time when the world was cruel for an orphaned boy. Meanwhile, in Eren, Reiner found a kindred spirit of a soldier. Despite his identity as a Titan-shifter, deep down Reiner really does value the things he stood for as a trainee. He was so convinced he and Eren were like-minded that he presumed Eren would be completely on board with being captured if it meant protecting humanity, which Reiner also grew fond of.

Both Eren and Reiner are defined by their determination. Both seek to reclaim their former homes and will do anything in their power to do so. They are both passionate soldiers, inspire their teammates with courageous words, and have proven willing to sacrifice themselves if it meant protecting a friend (Eren for Armin, and Reiner for Connie). They are different sides of the same coin. They both even have a childhood friend with self-esteem problems!

I predicted a long time ago that Reiner will not survive the series, and I think his fate is close at hand. Whether or not Eren is the one who ends him, I’m not sure, but as a character, Reiner serves as a sort of shadow to Eren, being the man he wants to be, but at the same time fighting for a cause Eren could never approve of. I hope Eren will decisively defeat Reiner this time rather than be interrupted by someone. It is important that Eren prove how far he has come as both a Titan-shifter and person by overcoming (in my opinion) his greatest rival and his greatest inspiration.

Ch.75 has Eren showcasing his new hardening abilities, adapting the Female Titan’s fighting style of quick dodges and hard, crystallized strikes. Reiner also seems to have a few hidden tricks up his sleeve, as seen when he produced armored claws to scale the walls with and also having flexible control over his brain activity to survive lethal spine severing. I think back to Ch.16 with trainee Reiner giving Eren advice for his 3DMG and encouraging him not to give up, to stick with the soldier path. It’s all been leading to this. I’m looking forward to how the fight will progress and where Reiner’s story leads. I hope you enjoyed reading!

Another win for the team

“Je t'aime” in Ma Meilleure Ennemie being the only time “I love you” is said in the whole show.

I swear, this is 100% what I picture in my mind when I write "his forehead resting against hers", I'm a sucker for it, I've put it at least 10 times in my fics, but I've seen it once, I can't unsee it...

When you're looking at me

[snow-lite]

As an absolute Timebomb lover, I feel ashamed.

u/Fluid-Canary-6942 on Reddit pointed out that Ekko’s jump in the intro was the same as his jump in 107.

Looks familiar ?

But if you go a little further, it’s not just the jump, it’s the whole scene. You can see Jinx shooting in the direction of Ekko, with the exact same color palette too.

The line pointing towards him is the same line he jumps over.

I wouldn't say I feel stupid buuuuut...

I have wrecked my brain looking for all the references possible in the intro to famous paintings and plays, mostly for Shakespeare and found none for Ekko. There we got the reason, I can finally rest…

People talking about “how can you criticize Caitvi for being toxic when timebomb literally tried to kill each other” PISS ME OFF so bad

Jinx and Ekko were on OPPOSITE SIDES OF A WAR

No shit they’re trying to fucking kill each other

Nothing romantic happened until well after a lot of growth for both characters (and even then it was in an ALTERNATE UNIVERSE)

Timebomb had history together—they were childhood best friends

Meanwhile Caitlyn HIT VI even though they’re on the same side (unprompted, they were arguing and not in a physical fight, that’s called abuse), asked her to become an enforcer KNOWING her trauma, and never apologized for a single thing she did

And all of this within at the very most a few months of knowing one another

It’s almost like—and hear me out—Vi fucking trauma bonded to the first person to show her kindness after being beaten and abused in a prison cell for 7 years

The difference between the ships is that for one, they BOTH tried to kill each other, it was even. For the other, it’s just one sided. Caitlyn in no way deserves Vi and I’m tired of acting like it’s such an amazing ship just cause it’s wlw

As a wlw myself, we deserved better representation than this half assed attempt at romance, season 1 caitvi was absolutely amazing, season 2 ruined it

[snow-lite]

Ekko’s face card is phenomenal.
