TIMEBOMB

Australians all let us rejoice, for we have more TimeBomb AU AU. They live in Melbourne too (don't hate me Sydneysiders but there's no way Ekko would live in a city with shit coffee 😋 and it just works, Silco would absolutely be connected to the Carlton mafia, Ekko's the Melbourne Uni Student Union President, Jinx is the menace of the Engineering department, it works.)

For the non-Aussies (seeing I confused the shit out of you with the Bunnings thing), magpies are highly territorial and swoop in spring. Tim Tams are a delicious chocolate biscuit, and Collingwood is an inner Melbourne suburb whose football team has the magpie as a mascot.

Mel from Arcane, I love her.

Damn u right

The problem with water siblings x fire siblings ships is that Zuko and Azula would probably keep accidentally doing racisms for like the first 6 months of their relationships minimum

Azula: You have a killer instinct that is so Firebender. I just love it.

Words cannot describe how much I love them with the entirety of my heart and soul 🫶 maybe in another timeline they're all happy together and having fun doing silly little things like drawing together, or playing fun little games together, silly stuff like that ✨ (this is real episode 6 never happened Isha is alive trust me)

BYE this is the epitome of their dynamic

Chase: You lying, cheating, piece of shit!!

Zari: Oh yeah? Well you're the idiot who thinks you can get away with everything you do. Well guess what? Things don't work like that!! WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD, BITCH!!!!

Chase: I'm leaving you, and I'M TAKING JULIA WITH ME!!!

Julia, picking up the monopoly board: I think we're gonna stop playing now.

I just want you to know I cried literal tears reading this 😭 /pos

There’s a lot of things you’ve done that Becky doesn’t know about

This is so facts, and this kinfa touches on why i dont totally love the addition og isha. I should, right, bc omg cute kid, but she feels like too much of a plot device to supposedly “fix” jinx. The way Vander usually fails to acknowledge Mylo and Clag kinda sucks. Ik its bc we judt didnt get to see em much in canon and it surely happened, just off screen, but its sad.

I feel like I need to talk about this scene. It bothers me not just for personal reasons but for plot reasons as well. I briefly touched on why I despise it so much but I'll elaborate properly, hopefully without being too repetitive.

The girls both quote Mylo that Vander is "their dad too", and yet mention of the boys is completely absent. But it has to be absent, or we might have to be reminded of the entire reason the girls' brothers are dead to begin with: Jinx and Silco both. Because Jinx accidentally killed them, because Silco abducted their dad. And let's be real, Vi and Jinx never had a single meaningful conversation about anything in s2. Everything they went through, all the changes they made, all the people they lost, amounting to a Disneyfied reunion with their werewolf dad. Add the extra layer of irritation of adding Isha, as if she belongs there, as if she's some sort of cheap replacement for the brothers they lost.

Maybe it also speaks to why Jinx doesn't come off as even half as unwell as she was in s1; her hallucinations were Mylo-heavy and they might have to be brought up if she was still having chronic episodes. But no, her replacement family of a small child basically heals her.

I personally feel the complete omission of Mylo and Claggor is disgraceful and downright lazy (but that's s2 in a nutshell). They were Vi and Jinx's brothers, Vander's sons. The loss of them is basically irrelevant in this entire season outside of ep7, where not even Ekko shares a single word with either of the boys, who only get three lines each, who only talk at him. It's like saying "hey look they're alive here, how nice" before pushing them to the side again to make more room for timebomb.

Yes I'm biased because Mylo and Claggor are everything to me, but it's still very much a flaw in the writing not to even mention their names whatsoever. It's not as if their being mentioned would derail the story - it could be sprinkled in when/where necessary, to be touched on. Their presences were still felt throughout s1 long after their deaths but they're irrelevant easter eggs in s2. But seeing as how their were basically two whole writers left in the room for s2, it's not all that surprising either.

Broken record that I am: Mylo and Claggor deserved better.
