Tomorrow I go to war (out-of-the-country-trip) and face my arch nemesis (a plane), a long standing foe (phobia of heights that I've had since a kid) and I fear I may need a little bit of encouragement

Obligatory “I don’t have a problem with CaitVi” but I think, for me, their story (separate from their own personal character arcs) would/will be more compelling if it ends up being irreparable between them.

I think Arcane is good at subverting expectations and tropes; the most memorable example I can think of is in S1E3 where Powder follows after Vi and the boys to save Vander. We’ve all seen the “friends are in trouble, but the plucky young hero comes in at the nick of time to save them against all odds” plot twist—but Arcane subverts that. In fact, Powder’s involvement and her monkey bomb finally working is the thing that, tragically, leads to Claggor and Mylo’s death, Vi’s injury, Vander’s death(?), so on and so forth. It worked, but it didn’t work. And to me, that's the tragedy of it. That good intentions weren't enough.

So, personally, I see a setup between Caitlyn and Vi: the Romeo and Juliet archetype, two initially-begrudging people working together amongst classism and prejudice, and finding companionship against all odds. Class, wealth, opportunity separates them; Caitlyn is a scion of one of Piltover’s most influential and powerful families, and Vi is… a nobody from the Undercity, wrongfully imprisoned, when they first meet. It’s a way for them to both see that the “other side” isn’t as bad as they’ve always been told. That there are Good People on either side of the bridge. That, hell, love can be found, too.

But oftentimes, I believe this trope in particular ignores a lot of the real-world factors that could come into play with a friendship or relationship that “defies” station. The fact is, Caitlyn does come from a world of privilege, and Vi is treated differently by Caitlyn’s peers. The whole of Season two, Vi has been referred to as one of the “good ones”. Maddie explicitly says that it's good to know that there are still "good ones" around. The implication that you’re not like them. Time and time again, Vi is treated like an Other. A “good” other, but an other all the same. She's welcome in Piltover, but only just - and only when Caitlyn vouches for her. And at the climax of their story thus far, Caitlyn outright says to her, “I keep telling myself that you're different. but you're not. It's [Jinx's] blood in your veins”. I'm sure grief and anger are a part of why she says this, but that's becoming a catalyst for the discrimination she seems to be steadily believing in more and more. Whether or not she ends up meaning this, it's a ghastly thing to say.

And with the way things are developing with Caitlyn, who is actively weaponizing her privilege and power, and who is very quickly going down a very dangerous and fascist path, I don’t know if their relationship could — or should! — be rectified. She's a cop, and a very privileged one at that. I don’t know if this is a love that could “defy all odds”, and in my opinion, I think it would be more interesting, and more compelling, if it didn’t.

i keep second guessing all my takes and ideas being all boo hoo i'm going to get a bad grade in jakeology. as if i don't have peers and more importantly as if there aren't already thousands of people out there who have done it so, so much worse than i ever could

reposting this because i didn't mean to delete it in the first place. the wording might not be the same as the first post, but i mean it just as much. you should consider supporting @mith-gifs-wrestling's beautiful, magical book. i've been looking forward to this book since before they ever announced that it would be published, back when i hung onto every word of every blog post (i still do.) if you love wrestling — or even if you don't, though how could you not? this book will certainly have you asking yourself that question — you should consider supporting it. i promise you won't regret it.

also more codelyokoposting but I really really dig XANA as a villain. It's not a person with a complex background that led them down the path of evil, it's not a morally grey character you sympathize with but condemn. It's a powerful AI capable of controlling almost anything in the real world. It doesn't have a face or a body, we only know it for its symbol and for the monsters it controls in the virtual world. It's willing not just to kill people through various methods (poisoning, drowning, car crash, fucking space lasers too?) but also Earth as a whole (it tried to blow up a NUCLEAR PLANT and crash two trains with toxic chemicals in them). And we don't even know why it does this, at least not for now. It may not even have a particular reason, just some sort of virus or malware in the form of an AI that seeks nothing but destruction without any goals in mind. This "pure evil" characteristic doesn't come off as childish, like in some children cartoons, it's just kind of scary to think that such an incomprehensible and destructive force exists, almost feels like a natural disaster

more very niche car whump???

Tonight on my way to work I saw a license plate that said "N8SSUB" and very quickly parsed out that it meant "Nate's sub(missive)" Good for Nate!

Aaaaaand now I can't stop thinking about a whumper setting up a car for their whumpee outfitted with trackers, cameras, the works... and marking the license plate in that same way. Blatantly saying "Whumper's", making the letters their initials, putting an innocuous but demeaning name. "Pet" "Dog" "Rat" "Mine"

A reminder that, no matter how far they may go, they aren't free. The car is a cage, and gas money is a pair of manacles. No matter how badly they may want to flee, they'll never make it. Everything is bugged, everything is tracked, and they remember what happened last time they tried to mess with that.

kazeki remake where it rly leans into the gothic horror of it all. the academy is a haunted house, plagued by spectres of racism and classism and abuse. there are shadows around every corner, looming images of the lecherous men that haunt gilbert and the vicious poet who started it all. spectres of the gilbert's childhood that ended too early, his adulthood that was a moment too late, and the actual gilbert, a teenager whose so thin and bitten that serge wonders if he's already dead. sometimes gilbert wonders the same thing. serge thinks there's something evil in this place, but he realizes that no, there's something evil in these people. it leaks from the church that calls him sinful because of his race, its taught in the classroom that shows the boys exactly how to take advantage of gilbert, it lives in the walls that ignore the violence going on inside them. serge thinks maybe it lives in him too, now. gilbert was a ghost long before he died. neither of them stood a chance. but at least they got to play the odds together.
