WHY ARE PEOPLE ON TWITTER CLAIMING “ZAUNITE” IS A SLUR??
I REPEAT, ITS NOT A SLUR!!
Piltover call them “trenchers” as the derogatory word used toward the people from Zaun! They only call it the Undercity and nothing more. The whole point of Silco’s rise to power in Season One is to get Piltover to recognize the nation as “Zaun” and make it independent. Please arcane fans, watch the damn show, I’m actually baffled!
S2 arcane spoilers!!
Anyone else notice how dim viktors eyes look in the new season like
And it's like this for nearly every other shot
Compared to his eyes in s1
And he's rlly out of character too
And sure that could be the trauma of EVERYTHING that's happened
But I feel like it's more than that
The hexcore is controlling him obviously so maybe we'll see him try to fight against it??
I really hope he does bc I don't think the whole magic arcane Jesus thing is really working for me tbh
OR if he doesn't manage to get free of the hexcore maybe he decides to lean into it by baking himself even more robotic buy powered by hextech or whatever the new equivalent would be
I've also been thinking maybe he'll start upsetting the chem barrens?? But it seems kinda unlikely
I can't do this anymore I miss them all so muchhhhhhh
Complete word vomit but like what if viktor decides that whatever the 'arcane' is too dangerous or comes at too high a cost and starts The Glorious Evolution from there?
Maybe he feels responsible for whatever the weird magic orb thingys are and decides that all of this mess (not just with the hex core but also with zaun and piltover) was due to human error so now he thinks he has to help people by getting rid of their 'flaws' like they're ability to make the kinds of mistakes he made in s1.
We know he already doesn't want the hex core to be around anymore so why would he suddenly become infatuated with it?? Like sure maybe it has an influence over him, but I seriously doubt it would last all season
Plus viktors whole Thing is helping people why would he stick with the hex core and all it's bs if it means either vaporising people or shimmer? Viktor is smart that's like the first thing we know about him I feel like he'd find a way out of the hex core's thrall
Idk I just don't really want to watch hex core bs for like a quarter of next season, I'll still probably like it tho
Do y'all think the early progression of Viktor's sickness could be seen in Jayce's sketches? A bit deeper eyebags, sharper edges on his cheeks, slightly more sunken in expressions, barely even noticeable if you don't know, but visible in hindsight through all these little sketches spread across Jayce's journal, unknowingly documenting the process
spoilers for arcane act 3
guys, we should have know jinx was gonna die
Hear me out
so yk the perfect universe the Ekko is in for ep7??? Weeeeellllll
literally every one he interacts with in that universe is dead
Silco, Vander, Milo, Clager(Idk how to spell his name), even Benso showed up. What do they all have in common?
they dead.
our final clue is when Himerdinger (no way in hell I spelled that right) dies doing science shit right before Ekko leaves. He is the only other person in that universe that isn’t dead in the main one, but arcane writers made sure to clear that up.
I do sometimes post audio edits on my channel that is dedicated to said edits, and we need to talk about this one.
The song itself is a mashup of two songs, Me and My Husband" by Mitski and Change by Deftones. I would just throw any pick of any character there, but I choose Violet. I choose her because that's how I think she feels. In this moment of the story, she witnesses the death of a strong revolutionary, her great acquaintance, the death of jinxters leader, the death of Gert. I think it changes Vi fundamentally. On this point of the story, she is sure she destroyed every single aspect of her sisters existence, she is sure she betrayed her class, she is sure she betrayed everything her dad was standing for, she lost, she gone down, she turned into the dirt under elegant expensively made nails, but jinxters as a movement can not mean nothing to her, as much as season two brushes it away, it is not possible. She failed, she forgot what she used to believe, she broke, she turned off the road she was on her entire life, but there are people who are still standing for their beliefs, they are stronger, they are still there, right?
She takes Gert's hand, she looks her in the eyes as her face gets distorted by pain beyond human endurance. Woman's eyes slowly glaze as Gert gets in the dark. Before Violet can even process what had happened, she gets drugged away by strangers hands. The blue fire of revolution that remained for Vi in Gert's dreadlocks, in blue makeup on her eyes, in the ardour of her soul, this fire had gone out. Gert's corpses are getting drugged now and thrown somewhere with the rest of the corpses. She is no more a friend, she is no more a leader, she is no more a hope, she is now just a dead criminal. That's what they're going to write about her in books on the rich people's behave. a criminal. Vi was sure the place she was at changed her forever, heavily, but Vi is still Vi right?
Violet is dead. The rest of Vi died in that fight, holding Gert's hand. Time passed, years changed, but on the darkest nights, the only thing Vi was able to think about was this look that she saw in Gert's eyes, filled with tears, eyes with blue makeup on them, eyes over which hung blue dreadlocks. blue.
do y'all think shes trying to be alike her sister
"i wish i was just as strong as vi, i need to.. i need to do something that she did, i need to look threatening i need... to ✨️✨️cut my hair✨️✨️"
