Tagging @ottobooty @axiolotl @black-rose4 @muddiestpath @eviltoxicmosssauce @trashwizards and anyone else who sees this and wants to do it B)

Last song?

Whatever the hell my drunk brother and his friends are signing at the top of their lungs (it's his birthday and they're having a party lmao)

Favorite color?

YELLOW but like a warm yellow with a hint of orange (the color of my house :3c)

Currently watching?

YouTubers who are out camping so I can live vicariously through them

Last movie?

Society of the Snow, which is based on a true story about a group of people whose plane crashed in the Andes mountains, and had to survive for several months in the harsh alpine climate. They're probably most infamous for having turned to cannibalism to survive.

It's a story I'm very familiar with, and have listened to and watched so much stuff about, mostly bc it's such an amazing story about human resilience and ingenuity to me. How they defied all odds by working together with what little resources they had, combined with some absolutely dumb fucking luck (in between all the terribly bad luck they had). The cannibalism is the least interesting part of their story tbh.

The movie was fine? I guess? I think they added some stuff for The Drama™, and I got bored p quickly and stopped paying attention 🙈 One of my favorite things about the real life story is how, despite it all, they looked after each other and goofed around and still found space to be people among all the misery, and I felt that was missing from this movie. It got high praise from everyone else tho, so idk why it didn't hit the mark with me.

If you're interested in the story I really recommend the You're Wrong About podcast's episode about it.

Currently reading?

Nothing really. I "read" all my books through audiobooks, but I have that thing where I need to be doing other stuff while I listen to them and haven't rly had the energy for that lately.

Sweet/spicy/savory?

Savory! I can't eat just sweet on its own, but I will tear through that bag of chips like it's nothing

Relationship status?

Single like an American slice of cheese

Current interests?

Baldur's Gate 3, Dungeon Meshi, and The Bear are fighting for dominance inside my skrungly palace

Last thing you googled?

This lmao

Last selfie or another pic you took?

Last selfie was summer last year I think so uuuh have this pic of Tali I took at Christmas (she just chilled in there for like an hour lmao)

LOVE IS IJ THE WORLD ALL OF THE TIME AND ITS SO BEAUTIFUL @faithdeans THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH

[magdaclaire]

Mer I LOVE Loretta Lynn. I'm an Emmylou Harris girlie for the most part though 🙏💕

That is so unspeakably valid of you. I've been a Loretta girlie for literally as long as I've been alive - my mama used to put on Coal Miner's Daughter (the song and the movie) to get me to lay down to sleep at night. Emmylou I haven't listened to as much, but she's still. Like. Central to me. Being a country girlie really makes you cling to the women who came before you etc etc

[naughtystiel]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY I hope you have the most incredible day and get everything you ever hoped for and that the year ahead treats you kindly 💕❤️💘💗💖💓💞

AAHH TALI!! ♡♡♡

Thank you thank you!! Means a lot!! Its been a rough start of the year, but today has been great! ☆

[fanartka]

Every time I draw something and add a lot of tags I feel something like this:

[godsplatter]

i forgot arcane exists and then i remembered

[hangingoffence]

heyyyy have this old arcane/lol 'comic'

i borrowed (stole) the line from a mortal kombat (i think 11) intro bc it fits them

[machineheraldbabe]

on arcane and the sin of naivety

ripped this from a twitter rant i had:

another arcane observation bc i'm watching ep7: obv we have to prepare for some both side-isms come season 2, but i think a way that the writers can (and have) circumvented this problem is thru how/why arcane characters are punished: their naivety.

everybody (save for ambessa and silco, and maybe mel too) operates from their own place of well-intentioned ignorance. jayce is the most obv example of this, but the contrast between cait and ekko is even better, i think re: their meeting in ep7.

cait sincerely thinks that there can be healing between piltover/zaun bc of her inexperience, whereas ekko is sure it's impossible bc he's bore the brunt of the enforcers' abuse - he's the least naïve character in the whole show. how the writers dealt with this is Crucial.

if the both side-isms were implicit in the writers' ethos, we wouldn't see the enforcers stand idly by while marcus *almost* kills 2 innocents in cold blood. it goes Beyond the bad apple cop and into a full anti-establishment ethos. thru violence, cait's naivety is broken just like ekko had insisted! and THEN they have a showdown between the 2 most jaded/hurt characters, ekko and jinx, to contrast the cait/vi relationship that is still underscored by blind hope. jinx and ekko don't have that luxury, and it foreshadows vi's s2 alliance with piltover.

and this theme is everywhere, beyond ep7. jayce's entire arc hinges on his insistence that he is still naive, so he can't be blamed for his very consequential choices. viktor insists that knowledge for knowledge's sake still exists and that's why he's destroying himself. and mel falls back onto her childhood self to explain away her own penchant for manipulation/bad choices. she's fascinating though because she's the closest of the bunch to undoing her role in this dynamic when ambessa returns (which is why i hope sm that she isn't dead in s2).

also, this transition from ignorance to jaded understanding is done SO WELL via the timeskip, and that's why i'm fairly certain that they'll have another in ep4 of s2. it makes so much sense. there is a lot of painful learning to be done post missile attack.

TLDR: arcane punishes characters for their ignorance and naivety, and their unique realizations of this fact will lead to their undoing in season 2! i love this show so much.

Pixel, a normal cat: comes up to me and meows when he wants food

Tali, a fiend who knows only violence: doesn’t even TRY to meow at me, just immediately starts knocking shit off the tables to tell me she’s hungry
