I will be perfectly honest, I somehow like every single detail about timebomb's lovestruck skins.
"It's all over the place", "too many clashing details", "seems like they couldn't choose what designs to put and then mixed them all together"
you see... that's exactly what I like about it.
IT'S SO THEM. AND THAT'S THE POINT.
the whole theme of "vibing, rocking, being in love 💞"
- leg warmers <--> jeans (we all joked about it at least once)
- Ekko now seems to sport the same side-bangs Jinx has
- spiky parts on their jackets are meant to form a heart
their accessories... oh... the way they match in all the little ways:
- Jinx's heart on her waist matches the heart Ekko has on his knee
- just like the heart on Jinx's left shoe matches the heart on Ekko's right shoe
- the cute round beads that imitate Jinx's second braid are also found on Ekko's pants... pants, on which he has very cute pins that may very sweetly parallel Jinx's jacket pins
- Jinx's half-a-heart necklace meant to form a heart with Ekko's half-a-heart knuckle accessory
Valerie: "This ghost everyone chirring about destroyed my whole life! I am miserable and poor because of him!"
Valerie: *sigh*
Valerie: "At least, i have you, Danny. My good, definitely not dangerous boyfriend who's helps me every time!"
Danny: *about to cry*
Danny: "Y-yeah, lucky you and me both"
I know that the animation studio wanted to desexualize the female characters in Arcane as much as possible which as a radical feminist I can appreciate. But as a Sevika fan, taking away the chest tattoo boob window crop top combo is actually really fucking unfair to women
me if i was living in zaun and trying to figure out if it was sevika or the enforcers knocking at my door
Jinx's untamed nature drives everyone away except for him, Ekko being the only one to match her freak rhythm like it's the most natural thing in the world.
Ekko who is desired by many people only having eyes for her, Jinx's music and untamed nature being the thing that sets his soul alight.

The "childhood friend" thing isn't even Jinx putting him in the friend zone (like some antis I've seen claim) It reads more like, "yeah, we made out sloppy style.... as friends of course" A. K. A. They're fucking stupid.
Idk, these skins were probably in development before Arcane season 2 premiered so they probably didn't expect TB to have that big of an impact as it did.
That could be the reason why they didn't go too hard cringe levels of lovey-dovey with them. Which is why this feels more like how they left off in canon, that they clearly love each other and are perfect for each other... but they don't realise it yet.
So right now even though TB is soft canon, they're taking the slow burn approach to this. Which I can get behind.
But the sad reality is that unless this is profitable for Riot, they probably won't develop them any further.
Ok, so in Spiderman into the spiderverse, George Stacy looks like a skinny short old man and Gwen's Peter looks like Peter B Parker but skinnier and definitely not in Gwen's age.
Now, in Spiderman across the spiderverse, George is a middle-aged, tall with more weight man and Peter a short, really skinny teenage boy.
How did they changed?
My theory is that the first ones was how Miles imagined them.
When Gwen told her story, Miles imagined her father being one of the classic comic cops and Peter like the ones he already knew. Brown hair from Peter B Parker and skinny and fit body from his dimension Peter. Also, the place Peter died was different from the place Gwen saw him dead in the first movie.
So, that's how they changed. It was Mile's perspective vs Gwen's perspective.
I do sorta wonder if the reason some people are finding it hard to jump to Oak/Wren from jurdan is because their comparing Jude to Wren and Oak to Cardan... like there are parallels but I think we're supposed to compare Oak→Jude and Wren→Cardan.

Ekko: Should we head over to Piltover now or let them suffer for a bit? *Both laugh* Ekko: Okay, serious question this time – what do you want me to draw on you?
