oh how the turns table

I've noticed this ever since s2 came out - but the second we rolled into the first episode of Arcane I automatically noticed the usage of bright colours and not the dark/grey colouring from s1.

S2 didn't feel like another season, it felt like a quirky, cliche bright kids show to me.

Jayce/Silco is such an underrated dynamic imo

Both as a ship or just as platonic character interaction. Like. If you think about it, they have such potential:

a) They already met in canon (and what a meeting it was).

b) Their character traits are so complementary. Silco is a mistrustful, cunning, slippery bastard. Jayce is naive and honest to a fault.

Silco will ruminate forever on how people wronged him. Jayce is probably one of the most loving and forgiving people in all of Arcane. (Like, the dude canonically powered of love his way out of the literal apocalypse. Jayce Talis, the man that you are.)

Jayce wears his emotions on his sleeve. Silco invented a whole Rebirth Narrative™ to avoid them.

Silco can't trust anyone. Jayce literally can't help but trust everyone. (He doesn't even haggle.)

Jayce is nice and kind to people for no other reason than it being a good thing to do. This notion alone would be enough to make Silco's brain go Error 404: Page Not Found.

They're both smart. They're both idealistic. They both want to do good to Zaun (albeit in very misguided - and on Jayce's side, ignorant - ways). Jayce has Vander's big warm golden retriever energy, without the association to an inherent threat of violence Vander holds for Silco.

There's so. much. potential. They make such a pair.

Hey @outer-andromeda! The Muppet comment you made during your stream has been stuck in my brain since then so I figured I'd legit draw you as one for funsies!

It's such an upsetting feeling when you're friendly with someone but then they hit you with something they say that lets you know that they fundamentally will never understand you :(

My roommates are painfully straight and I fear they will never understand asexuality

I told one of my roommates that I'm asexual and at a later point they literally said "maybe you haven't met the right person yet" or something close to that effect

And another time I mentioned to another roommate that I've never had a crush before and they said "you're lying"

I know they mean nothing by it but it kind of irked me

I'm usually really open about my asexuality but when people say stuff like that I'm reminded that I should really keep my mouth shut sometimes.

NOISETTE THEMED DOODLE DUMP ft. cheesecake and the spouses

copious hazel headcanons under the cut because i can’t help myself

first off: her name is Hazel 👍🏻 ik that’s a common one but it’s literally perfect… canon info to me

her favorite thing to do, besides making experimental food, is actually exercising! she’s an incredibly skilled acrobat and stunt artist, so she needs to be fit for that, but she also just enjoys letting the excess energy out bc she gets really cranky otherwise. she’s toned af and could wipe the floor with you - she doesn’t go around picking fights for no good reason, but if she did… heehee

she has such an unending well of passion for all of her interests that some find her to be too much but she dgaf… she’s unabashedly autistic and does NOT care if you don’t want to hear her infodump about obscure cheeseslime genetics, she will do it anyways

i like to think that, although she is very bubbly, she has an insane morbid streak that catches people off guard. she loves talking about anatomy and gross-out subjects to anyone who can stomach it, and cracks the most fucked up jokes - it’s one of the reasons her and noise get along so well. she is thinking about blood and guts because she thinks it’s interesting!!!! she will give you hyperspecific graphic threats of violence if you make her mad!!! teehee!!

i would put her at like… chaotic neutral but leaning towards good. she has an almost scientific fascination with violence and seeing what kinds of stress a body can take, and doesn’t mind watching shit unfold instead of helping… unless something actually super fucked up is going on (like way past canon typical pizza tower violence), she’s not going to bat for you lol she’s gonna grab a camera and clipboard

her interest in anatomy branches out into a love for biology, medicine and health in general - as much as she loves watching her boyfriend beat the shit out of some chump on live tv, she also loves studying how different creatures work and how to treat injuries. she almost became a doctor! but she didn’t like the rigid schedule and pressure, so she fostered her interest in dance and gymnastics, and went into television as a stunt double instead. that’s actually how she met noise! that’s why they look so much alike - she was told to inquire NTV for a job because of the resemblance. noise thought she was so cool she was asked to be his co-star instead, and they’ve been inseparable ever since.

sometimes she gets tired of the noisette persona, but she does genuinely like theo, so it’s hard. she’s been more busy with this NTV gig (that’s looking more like a full blown career) than she would like, so that’s why she opened her cafe - to do something else for once dammit!! she likes weird shit, food included!!!

i have two shipping scenarios i like, so consider these parallel universes - hazel x vigi, and hazel x vigi x noise

if you don’t like negative takes on the noise relationship i’d recommend skipping to 2 ^_^

1. her relationship with noise deteriorates bc noise can’t accept the fact that hazel doesn’t wanna be noisette all the time! they’re so busy, he barely even makes time for her anymore - he barely even tolerates her! it’s not until vigi comes into the picture that she realizes she doesn’t have to deal w that mess. but it sucks cuz noise isn’t just her bf, but also like!!! a big part of her career!!! and she does genuinely love him but he’s just!!! an uncommunicative ass!!! it culminates in hazel leaving him and crashing at vigi’s farm because fuck it, it’s her life she does what she wants. she will kiss the cheese AND rebuild her tv career, on her own terms this time baybee

2. noise and hazel still have that issue but they actually communicate like adults and fix their relationship problems, so none of that shit happens! happy ending! hazel has her own life and theo actually lets his gf know he loves her! woah! enter vigi, in: “we saw you across the bar and we really dig your vibe…” imagining vigi as a third to hazel and theo, completely out of his depth but too bisexual to care, is SO funny to me lol… like hazel and him are probably the only two together at first but over time he and theo warm up to each other more (gay intent) and it’s perfect

Charlie is right.

Bolas Rojos won today. They got their revenge after yesterday’s beating. They’ve proven themselves as real competitors. They have literally won the battle today.

But they themselves have orchestrated the war.

Peace is no longer an option. All bridges have been burned for the red team. Any sympathy or pity from the other groups was gone as soon as they cemented first place. And even worse, there were many witnesses to their carnage. Primarily ElQuackity on green, who faced them head-on (so much for blaming the base raid on Bad), but Pol and Tina on blue saw those same chat messages. Like Charlie said, in situations like these, people will never forget. These are how grudges are formed, how small decisions lead to larger repercussions, and how consequences end up mattering after all is said and done.

The Bolas can’t go back now. They’ve made their bed of destruction and warfare, and now they have to lie in it. While the actions of the others may have led them down this path, do not get me wrong. They were not backed into a corner. There are many opportunities to do something different. For instance, the trader village or going full-on cult mode were genuinely viable options. Due to the lack of players on today and the players that were online’s motivation for the competition visibly waning, the red team could have easily isolated them each and indoctrinated them into the group.

To be honest, the Reds’ resistance to joining general vc only furthered their “us against the world” and “peace was never an option” mentality. Disregarding everything pre-purgatory, the only person who actually has positive relationships with the others is Foolish, who made an effort to interact outside of the team (1v1 with Étoiles, chatting with Tina and BBH, etc.). Unlike his teammates, Foolish really has set himself up well for the future, be it for trading, secret alliances, or if, for whatever reason, teams switch. And in games like these, that's how you gain credibility; that’s how you end up being pitied; that's how you survive.

And today, guess who won in that regard? The team in last place, SoulFire. Which thank god they did, because steamrolling the competition two days in a row is how you get majorly targeted. Their lack of progress (which was definitely unintentional lmao), the gen vc basically being BadBoyHalo’s “apology” tour for a bit (which again, very unintentionally focused the blame off of the six kills from their equally bloodthirsty leader), but most importantly, keeping Étoiles, the skilled and need I mention literal leader of the enemy team, company when his team was gone has more impact than even they might not realize. I mean, talk about damage control lol. Like going into Day 3, my bets on who’s group will form an alliance first are solely on green and blue.

Anyway, I am happy not only about the Reds getting the win they rightly deserve but also about the fact that they are aware of what they are doing. The moves they have and will make are purposeful, self-aware of their own “let’s all be peaceful” hypocrisy.

On Day 1, Blue and Green got to be the bad guys.

On Day 2, Charlie can’t help but question his own morality while doing the same terrible things that sent him down this spiral to ElQuackity tonight.

But I guess it's the burden that first place has to bear. I’m sure they’ll all get used to it eventually :)

As much as I'm not personally invested in Repliku or the doomed trio, something that does really twig my interest is something I don't think I've seen explored very much?

And it's that Repliku, in essence, is manufactured in such a way to live and breathe for Namine. I don't think I've seen a fic (which doesn't mean one doesn't exist and I encourage recs I do I do-) where there's a focus on him becoming his own person so much as he already, is?

That's a struggle I want to see. I want to see the slow, laborious, painful ripping of that conditioning. I wanna see him go from constantly looking over his shoulder at Namine and constantly considering what Namine would think and what she'd want him to do to slowly starting to consider "what would the real me do" to "what would I do?"

And playing off the odd parallels Vanitas and he have in that regard. Not exact, no; Repliku needs to learn how to think about Namine however he wants in addition to living outside of her, Vanitas is already at a point where he can think about Ventus however he wants, it's living outside of him that needs work. They could be painfully jarring for each other in really good and bad ways, there could be intense levels of broship there.

How Namine fits into that could be so wonderfully varied too. Is she cheering them on? Does she hate it and becomes one of the major roadbumps to Repliku's development because of her own dependency on his dependency? Does she crush hard on Vanitas or is he the one non-Org boy she's met she doesn't immediately want to sweep her off her feet?

had THE™ time of my life this past weekend visiting minnesota, spending time with one of the best people ever @thedreamthieves over her birthday, and getting to see the leafs. st paul and the people there did NOT disappoint me even when my hockey team did <3. what a beautiful and lowkey place........ i will for sure be back some day.

[pardonmydelays]

all jokes aside, our show is in sixteen days and i've never been more anxious about anything in my entire life

[deadmeatttovi]

i didn't saw anyone mentioning those words anywhere, maybe it's just me tho, but seriously, i think it's very important to discuss this

CHAPTER 3 SPOILERS AHEAD‼️‼️

those words really sound like a breakdown of someone. the first thought might be tenna himself, since he is not really a mentally stable character, but the mentioning of church makes it obvious that it's a lightner. my assumption is that it's krises breakdown, after all poor kid probably spent hours and hours in front of TV after the divorce of the parents, but second opinion might be toriel.

yes it might sound weird, but toriel might feel guilty for the divorce? maybe after everything she had a depression period or something which could easily make her a very constant TV watcher.

tho it's just a headcanon on this point, because we have more proofs of kris being the one to spend the longest time in front of TV.

idk man this chapter was so sad :(
