"There is still time" is the hardest I've been hit by a line since "In another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you"

Drowning in blue

One of my favorite parts about traveling through Erebus is getting to stop and chat with Arachne, as well as dressing Melinoë up all pretty for her upcoming fights!

my roman empire is the subtle differences in appearance between jinx and (alternate universe) powder. powder is taller and has fuller cheeks compared to jinx because shes not malnourished. powder is tanner than jinx and has freckles because shes out in the sun more. powder's voice is deeper to signify that she has matured, while jinx's voice is high-pitched and raspy because of her constant screaming and the poor air quality in zaun. powder has prevalent smile lines, while jinx doesnt. the difference between jinx and powder is one night, one decision.

hedgehog's dilemma

What if Greenpath Vessel survived their encounter with Hornet?

As somebody who has struggled with mental health all of their life and still does, Jinx's romance with Ekko means the world to me.

I'm sick and tired of people considering mentally ill people just "not interested in love" or, on the other side, "not healthy enough to be loved". Which is utterly stupid. Ekko falling for Powder but clearly showing signs of wanting to learn more about Jinx and on his way to love her too, realizing that her damaged past and issues do change her but she's still his girl. It's brilliant writing.

He can't be a savior to her, because there's nothing to save. There's nothing to fix. The whole message Jayce gives with "there's beauty in imperfections" goes hand in hand with Powder's "sometimes taking a leap forward means leaving a few things behind". Ekko goes from wanting to save her to wanting to see more of her and leaving Powder behind to know about Jinx. With Ekko loving Jinx nevertheless it shows that mentally ill people can be loved. And with Powder reciprocating and Jinx making amends with Ekko (with the romantic context behind already seen) it's breaking the whole stereotype of her being this "insane maniac with no remorse and unable to show love".

So I guess what I want to say is that their relationship would've worked in another universe, but I want to believe it could've worked in this one (with time), too.

This is the little Ekko/Jinx moment that's been sticking with me:

Because on first watch, I expected this was going to be something negative. Ekko trying to defend why he'd been so hostile to Powder. 'You're not the kind of person who helps... because you destroy things,' or something to that effect.

But no.

oh

What a way to look at Jinx?? Even with everything she's done... He looks at this well-adjusted, 'ideal' Powder, and still thinks she's missing something that his Jinx has. The Powder that he knew was so determined to make something that mattered... it's a Powder who's content to play second-fiddle to the people around her, a Powder that settles that feels off to him.

And that ties into why he can't stay here. Our Ekko isn't the kind of person who settles either.

The Queen and The King are both beautifully doomed by narrative

"Night Sky" - hollow knight It's not referred to anything in particular, I just liked the idea. It depicts the vessels and the shadelord swirling around the Hollow Knight. An alternative title could be "Children of the sky". If we see their father, the Pale King, as the moon, then they can be the stars, while the shadelord is the black sky.

I'm going to explain the theory that Jinx is not actually dead

(I know this is long, I promise it's worth it)

This starts in chapter 8 of season two.

We see Jinx in the prision, she's devastated, lost, defeated, and wants things to end. And we see the first interaction she has with the voice of Silco. In this interaction Silco tells Jinx that "killing is a cycle" and that it would continue. But Jinx says she's "done running in circles", meaning: she wants to stop this cycle. To which Silco says:

And later, when Vi goes to visit Jinx, and Jinx tricks Vi and escapes the prison. Vi then asks her what she will do, Jinx answers:

And now Jinx knows the way to break the cycle, is by leaving.

Next time we see Jinx is in episode 9. She is still in the same mood as before, and now she cuts most of her hair off and burns The Last Drop

Burning down The Last Drop and letting go of her hair shows this closure. Later, she tries to kill herself, which is her way of "walking away" to "break the cycle".

But then Ekko shows up, saves her, and they go to save Vi and the others together.

At this point, Jinx wants to stop the killing and wants to leave, but she will always want to save Vi ("I'm always with you. Even when we are worlds apart").

But she still wants to break the cycle. She still needs to let go.

So, as she saves Vi from Warwick with the monkey bomb explosion, she escapes and leaves Piltover.

And we get a hint of that in the final scenes of the show when Caitlyn is going through her mother's database. She finds a blueprint of the hexgate tower and finds secret air ducts in the place where the explosion happened.

We also see her holding a part of Jinx's bomb.

And after seeing the blueprint she has this look. Like she's thinking "is it possible she survived?"

And in the very last scene we see one of these things that is flying away from Piltover.

Which reminds me of Season 1 Episode 1:

She has always wanted to ride one of them.

Maybe, this is her new way of walking away, instead of dying.

And the two frames are almost exactly the same, it couldn't not be a reference to that s1 moment.

And I know this theory may sound dumb but, why would they show us Caitlyn looking at those blueprints then? Every scene, every frame in Arcane is carefully designed. The team is very good, they wouldn't just show it for no reason. It wouldn't make sense. Especially because they have only 9 episodes of 40 minutes each (except 9 which has 50) to develop everything that happens in season two. And there are A LOT of things going on, they don't have time to spare. If they chose to show us that, it had a very important meaning.

Also I think it's kinda bad If Jinx just dies, I wouldn't like that ending, at least not like this.

If Cthulhu can be summoned by humans who are so far beneath it, why can’t humans be summoned by ants? The answer is they should be.

Tired of dumbass nihilist shit. Been there done that Everything matters actually. Like just factually every god damn thing effects Something even if it's not anything huge or obvious. Things cannot exist without having any impact on anything else

Sometimes somebody is nonbinary and they're just a normal guy without gender. And sometimes someone is nonbinary and they're someone whose deeply uncomfortable with being either gender so they need to transition to something else. And sometimes someone is nonbinary because they hate gender and want to kill it. And sometimes someone is nonbinary in an otherworldly and eldrich way like an android or a fallen angel and it makes people think they're cool. And sometimes someone is nonbinary in a whimsical and magical way like a faerie and it makes people think they're cute and charming. And sometimes those are all different people and they're that way forever. And sometimes someone is many of those at once or at diffrent times. And that's just how being nonbinary is.

i once again have access to a working stylus! take a celebratory napping quirrel

tired of nonbinary people being pressured to be thin hairless elf like pretty and always depicted as white afab skinny kids with blue hair, of course only using they/them. give me nonbinary people who are heavily fem/masc aligned!! give me nonbinary people who use neopronouns and xenogenders!! give me fat nonbinary people!! hairy nonbinary people!! nonbinary POC!! amab nonbinary people!! disabled nonbinary people!! nonbinary people who wear crazy clothes, or nonbinary people who don’t stand out and don’t feel the need to!! nonbinary people with names like Moss or Socks, or nonbinary people with “regular” names like Susan or James or something!! Give me every flavor of nonbinary people, and stop trying to make it into yet ANOTHER gender binary!! Nonbinary can be anything, not just a third gender to adhere to!!

I've been watching the newest episode of Gen V (Episode 5) and at around the middle where Marie and Emma are talking about Jordan I started wondering what pronouns they use for them in the German version (my native language, but I prefer to watch movies and such in their original language) cause German is a horribly gendered language so I go back and rewatch the part in German and!! they're using the neopronouns dey/dem/deren which a lot of non-binary people in Germany started using as a German version of the gender neutral English pronouns they/them and!!!! my little non-binary heart can't take this, maybe we'll actually have accepted gender neutral pronouns in German one day!!!! this is such an important first step and it makes me so happy, omg I love this show :')

even with all its explosive jellyfish and charged lumaflies, i still find fog canyon and the teacher's archives to hold a rather relaxing atmosphere; nice to sketch :)

From Master to Tyrant

you know what I. fucking love about hollow knight. and quietly philosphical life goes on post-apocalypse type media is general (I'm thinking botw and annihilation) is the implication that this has happened before. this story has taken place before. you are not the first. the spirit of this story is indomitable. the empty vessel in greenpath left behind after fighting hornet and the corpses strung up in nosk's lair and the very existence of the broken vessel. siblings who all managed to crawl out of the abyss somehow at some point and succumbed to hallownest. fuck let's go one deeper you could make the argument that every time the player character dies it's the end of another vessel and every new shade reclaimed is another cycle. idk something about being cyclical and persistence even when death is such a pervasive force. you are not the first and you will not be the last. whether that is tragedy remains to be seen. in the meantime you're alive.
