An image captured from reality, a moment frozen in time with this Zaunite urchin. In all you’ve researched, there was no indication that the criminal was even capable of smiling. But in this picture… she’s laughing.
Thinkin bout the photo Cait keeps around

There is a soulmate au fic on ao3 called “the perfect ache” in which Caitlyn and Vi can feel each others pain (emotional and physical) as the events of Arcane unfold.
Just seeing this gifset is making me feel so sorry for Caitlyn in the fic 😅 and this doesn’t even cover the amount of fights Vi had in Stillwater.
Yo, gif makers anyone want to put together a supercut of all the times Vi got punched in the face? Cause Ekko was right, she really does use it to block too much

I really would like to heard your analysis of Jinx, she is such an interesting and well written character.
I have several thoughts about Jinx and what makes her so fascinating.
I will start, however, with a disclaimer. Most of what I'm gonna say is from Jinx's perspective. I don't actually believe Vi abandoned her and doesn't love her. She was a kid too when their family died, and it isn't her fault that she wasn't there for Jinx, being in prison and all. Silco is not a good person and was absolutely not in a good place to raise a child who was just horribly traumatized. I do believe he loved her, but no matter how much he loved her it doesn't excuse how deeply toxic he was to her mental health.
Anyways.
Powder was severely insecure throughout her whole childhood. She offers nothing to her family and is constantly belittled or pitied for her weakness. Even though Vi offers her all the support she can manage, it's not enough to make Powder believe that she's anything but a burden. It's something we can directly see through her diary in the Legends of Runterra archives that came out recently.
Vi has never doubted her sister will be something great, but that deep insecurity about her place in the world colors Powder's view. It doesn't matter how many words of encouragement she gives, Vi secretly doesn't believe in her. She thinks Powder is useless, just like Mylo says she is.
Hell, in that diary Jinx draws a picture of her entire family, Ekko included, and Powder herself isn't even there. She's represented by the crease between pages, too insignificant for even herself.
And that insecurity also feeds into a bad case of codependency. Because she's unable to survive by herself, Vi is her pillar. She can't do anything without Vi, a fact she simultaneously hates and is too afraid to change.
And you have both of these facts converging That Night. First, Vi leaves her behind when she goes to save Vander. To Powder it's the ultimate slap in the face. Her father is being held captive and he might seriously be in danger, all three of her siblings are going but Powder needs to stay home and wait. She's nothing but a liability to Vi in that moment, one that Vi can just leave behind whenever she wants, and it breaks Powder. Obviously you can see it the clearest when she has an anxiety attack after Vi leaves, but I think the second clearest is when Powder finds out she killed Vander and her brothers.
"Why did you leave me!" She just wanted to help, why did Vi leave her behind? And Vi answers her, confirming two of her biggest fears. She isn't able to help anybody, only ruin them, and Vi believes this. All of the reassurances, all of the encouragement, a lie.
That lie is the foundation on which Silco raises her. Because like her, he was abandoned by someone he thought had his back.
And the persona of "Jinx" is created as a way to cope with herself. If all Powder does is bring destruction, why not revel in it? Silco needs someone that can cause destruction, a tool of intimidation to solve conflicts with others trying to fill the power vacuum that Vander left behind. If Powder is a jinx, then why not be a jinx.
Much of the rest of her screentime is self-explanatory after that, but there are two things I want to talk about. The first, the obsessive hatred of Caitlyn.
As funny as the jokes are about Jinx being homophobic or not getting that Vi and Cait's relationship is different than Vi and Jinx's, the true point of her hatred is that Vi has someone else by her side at all. Just like Jinx never healed from her deleterious view of herself, she never grew out of her codependency either. For so long it was Vi and Powder against the world, always together, always sisters.
But now there's Enforcer Caitlyn Kiramann, who's competent, who Vi trusts to have her back, who Vi wants to protect. And Jinx can't stand it, because all it does is remind her of what she isn't, of what she can never be. That she is still all alone.
The second is Silco's last words. "Don't cry, you're perfect."
This line is probably the basis for 90% of the discourse surrounded Jinx and Silco's relationship. And in order for both sides to understand where I'm at, I will state for the record that Jinx is not perfect as she is. She is a traumatized teenager who acts petty, mean-spirited, cruel, and is in serious need of therapy.
But. But. Silco truly is the only person that's ever looked at her and seen someone who doesn't need to change.
You have to remember that Jinx never believed Vi when she encouraged her. Because Vi wasn't like her. Vi could say all the nice things she wanted, someday her inventions will work, but at the end of the day Vi is the one knocking out thugs in alleyways and planning heists while Powder was too scared to slide down a roof without encouragement and throws away their loot when she panics. There was always a part of Powder that felt bitter toward her sister.
But Silco is like her. He hurts like her, he needs help like she does. Vi leaves her to deal with Vander's kidnapping on her own, Silco trusts her to "handle it," to treat his eye, to protect his goods. Silco, angry, broken, scarred Silco sees Jinx as she is angry, broken, and scarred. And says she's perfect. It's the first time she's ever felt truly seen and truly loved for who she is.
This ended up a lot longer than I thought it was going to be, but I truly love Jinx and her fucked up character arc. I can't wait to see how she evolves from here, for the better or for the worse. I do hope that her and Vi come to an understanding about one another, because God knows they are not on the same wavelength.

Dear friend across the river
My hands are cold and bare
Dear friend across the river
I’ll take what you can spare
I ask of you a penny
My fortune it will be
I ask you without envy
We raise no mighty towers
Our homes are built of stone
So come across the river
And find…

So you want to fandom Arcane
So you stumbled into Arcane, because it was on netflix or because you saw all the pretty gifsets and now you want more.
Bad news, there is only 3 more episodes, dropping one week from now. There likely will be a second season but:
animated series of this quality take a long time to make
it’s not completely sure if there is a second season, that it will be about the same set of characters and be in the same setting (a lot of fans of the games hope that they will explore the other locations and continents of the game in other series
However, if you want more, these are the things that exist:
There is a selection of animated shot clips, sometimes music videos showcasing the characters, sometimes quite lavishly produces:
All League of Legends Cinematics
Some standouts that are related to Arcane are:
Ekko
Get Jinxed
Awaken (feat Vi and Cait)
True Genius (feat Jinx, Heimderdinger, Ekko)
There are the bio pages of the characters that used to be the main source of lore in the past.
Caitlyn - The Sheriff of Piltover: She recently partnered with a new recruit from Zaun, the brash and reckless Vi. How such an unlikely pairing came about—and been proven so effective—is the subject of wild rumor and tavern speculation among their fellow Wardens, as well as those they haul away to jail.
Vi - The Piltover Enforcer: No one yet knows the exact reason why or how Vi came to be working alongside Caitlyn—but given the anarchic nature of the crime wave now sweeping Piltover, speculation runs rife that it might involve a certain blue-haired hellion from Zaun…
Jinx - The Loose Cannon: Jinx’s bombastic spree seemed endless, with the wardens’ attempts to catch the culprit thwarted at every turn. She began tagging her works of destruction with vivid graffiti, and other taunting messages directed at the city sheriff’s newest ally in the fight against crime, Enforcer Vi.
Ekko - The Boy Who Shattered Time: Ekko’s time-bending antics have made him a person of interest to some of Zaun and Piltover’s most inventive, most powerful, and most dangerous individuals. But his only interest is in his friends, his family, and his city. He dreams of the day when his hometown rises up to dwarf the so-called City of Progress, when Piltover’s golden veneer will be overshadowed by the towering ingenuity and relentless spunk of a Zaun born not from generations of privilege, but from sheer daring.
Jayce - The Defender of Tomorrow: Viktor expanded Jayce’s intellectual horizons and challenged many of his assumptions. While Jayce sought to improve humanity via versatile technology, Viktor sought to solve problems inherent to humanity itself, such as physical decay or illogical prejudices.
Viktor - The Machine Herald: Alone in the depths, Viktor sank into a deep depression, enduring a traumatic period of introspection for many weeks. He wrestled with the ethical dilemma he now faced, finding that, once again, human emotion and weakness had stood in his way. He had been trying to help, to enhance people beyond their natural capabilities to avoid error and save lives.
Singed - The Mad Chemist: He has already mastered the destruction of flesh, and thus now has turned to the preservation and transformation of it… and perhaps even the possibility that life need not end with an inescapable death.
Warwick - The Unaged Wrath of Zaunt: Warwick struggled to recall a single memory from his past... All he could see was blood. But then he heard a little girl screaming. Screaming something he couldn’t understand. It sounded like a name.
Heimerdinger - The Revered Inventor: A brilliant yet eccentric yordle scientist, Professor Cecil B. Heimerdinger is lauded as one of the most innovative minds and esteemed inventors Piltover has ever seen. Relentless in his work to the point of neurotic obsession, he is fascinated by mysteries that have confounded his contemporaries for decades, and thrives on answering the universe’s most impenetrable questions.
There are also a variety of short stories that illustrate the stories and personalities of the characters. You can find them attached to the bio pages.
Another source are the little voice clips that play when the characters come across each other in any of the games. You can find them here separated by character or here for the card game.
There is a variety of the lore channels that even before Arcane were dedicated to trying to sum up the lore for people who play the games
The Politics of League of Legends (Piltover&Zaun, Shurima)
What’s The Deal With “C”
The Love Couples of League of Legends
Thrill Of The Chase
The Howler
What’s the Deal With Jinx
Engineering The Nightmare
Why the shipping between Cait and Vi
There is a card game set in the same universe called Legends of Runeterra that freshly introduced has mode where you play against the AI. (note that in this Jinx can only get a happy reunion with Vi if she does not mistread Caitlyn)
There are comic books, however, they are genearlly not set in Piltover and Zaun
Ashe: Warmother (Journey of a Viking inspired archer and tribe leader)
Zed (Ninja/Asian inspired investigation)
Lux (medieval inspired setting, girl with magical powers in a society that hates and suppresses margic, torn between her family and a pro-mage rebellion)
More comics, including oneshots, including one of Jinx
IMO , if Arcane is very successful, I think this is the highest chance (other than the short stories) where new material might come from in the near future.
