The development of Silco’s “I’m willing to do anything for what I want” ideology is just so *chefs kiss*

I mentioned before how I love that Silco genuinely come to love Jinx like a daughter and it’s because of this. How “willing to do anything” goes from your typical megalomaniacal climb for power to “I would give up everything for my daughter”. He literally had everything he ever wanted in his hands, he even expresses his disbelief that Jayce just gave him the deal with zero bartering. All he had to do was give up Jinx which, given his ideology, should be a no brainer. But he doesn’t want to give her up! Not because he’s lost his ambition! But because the “thing” he will do anything for has changed. What could be a more extreme expression of this ideology than giving up everything you worked towards because what you wanted changed in the process?

I’m happy they’ll live, but at what cost?

Don’t include the cost of the therapy sessions the survivors of that explosion will need.

Kalina was probably unmade in the mall fight along with Cassandra but she's a familiar. Familiars can be summoned. As a cleric, Kristen can't summon her, she doesn't have acess to that spell.

But Riz does.

I did this kinda Arcane style of drawing for Harrow a while ago. I looked at a lot of Jinx art since they both give me that “hot rat” vibe (whaaaaaaat). And also Nona with her two long braids is totally Jinx. (Omg i just got anothet idea)

Hoooooboy I just finished Arcane and boy do I have some thoughts. Guess I’ll just start yelling things into the void.

One of the main things that immediately stuck with me is how Arcane did the “character is conflicted between two sides due to misunderstanding/manipulation” trope. So many times characters will super sonic leap to conclusions after mishearing one thing and then immediately end up in the arms of a purely malicious manipulator. It’s overall a trope that I don’t like cause it’s tends to be done so poorly. The dramatic irony becomes unbearable and I can’t help yelling “what is wrong with you! It’s obvious who’s side you should be on! Just talk for 3 seconds and you’ll clear up the misunderstanding while simultaneously exposing the manipulation!”

What Arcane does is so fucking good. Yes! Vi didn’t leave Powder on purpose, but *she does* initially run away! Of course Powder is hurt, and vulnerable, and willing to cling onto the first person who comes around! Everyone she knew just died, and her sister told her it was her fault! And then the development of this, my god. Instead of Powder just completely hating Vi and being closed off to her, we get to watch such an incredible artistic depiction of her inner turmoil as the revelation that her sister is alive shoves a wedge between her and her new father figure while also shaking up her sense of identity. Having Silco coming to love her is absolute genius as well (which is a whole other aspect of this show deserving of a proper analysis). There’s genuinely so much going for and against Vi and Silco. It’s such a delicate balance, for us to not feel like there’s a clear side that Powder should take.

So my friend recently finished Babel and they said creating homoerotic tension between robin and ramy only to kill them afterwards was a weak move.

What does that even mean? If you wanted to a read a happy queer novel why did you choose Babel? Why are you looking for a fairytale ending in a book that deals with heavy topics like colonialism, racism, sexism, poverty, slavery, war and whatnot. Death was always upon them. Being gay doesn't magically give characters plot armour. War doesn't care about anyone's sexuality.
