All Of Arcane Happened Because Jayce Walked Into The Undercity And Ekko Clocked Him As The Biggest Dumbass

omg this just happen

a lost solder, a guilty king and a broken leader all in need of guidance.

also known as : a bunch of sad kids with trauma getting help from their dad

sigh. oh to make ocs with other people. oh to collaborate on a narrative theres literally nothing more magical than that to me

i’m sorry i think it’s weird that literally no one ever fucking talks about the pit scene. like haha it’s the pit but like,,,, tommys brother literally had him fight to the death w/ techno in this pit, where he was severely unmatched and essentially got beat until he fucking died, all the while his own fucking brother was whispering manipulative things to him & cheering it on. like,,,.. y’all always make jokes about that scene but i’m so fucking surprised nobody talks about how fucked that is? and that was right after he watch techno literally publicly execute his best friend in front of his very own eyes?? um 🧍🏼/rp

I think I can see the pattern in 2022 animated films.

Also the amazing self-awareness of these movies, not caring about bending over to popular media demand and actually addressing heavy topics instead of censoring or down playing them. 👏

I think c!philza’s conversations with ghostbur today destroyed all of us, so I’m going to talk about c!philza for a bit — his ride-or-die bias towards techno, how that influences his beliefs, and his relationships with others.

phil favors techno. that is damn obvious. they’re old friends who go way back. phil also feels somewhat protective over techno — I’m a huge sucker for the headcanon that phil discovered that techno was basically a teenager during the antarctic empire days and subtly began feeling a bit parental to him after that.

the reason why phil became an anarchist ultimately ties back to techno. although phil was living in l’manberg back then, he was secretly helping techno; and his allegiance to techno ultimately resulted in his (definitely unjustified, but incomparable to what most people in l’manberg went through) house arrest. this house arrest, and watching techno’s execution, were what finally pushed him into full anarchy.

the thing is, I think this loyalty to techno is also what completely blinds him to the suffering of pretty much everyone else in l’manberg, and what him allows to be a-okay with dream’s actions as a tyrant.

phil is adamant that government was ultimately what ruined the people of l’manberg. but he somehow completely misses the trauma of the characters. he comes pretty dangerously close to what amounts as victim-blaming the citizens of l’manberg, especially tubbo, taking the position that they got what was coming to them. he says sorry to ghostbur for assisting in killing friend and destroying ghostbur’s library, but it’s clear that he doesn’t regret it.

when push comes to shove, phil always chooses techno. always. and he does not care if that ends up hurting other people who are or were close to him.

even though tommy, tubbo, and fundy aren’t directly phil’s sons, they are still connected to him and see him as somewhat of a father (or grandfather) figure. tommy accidentally calls him ‘dadza’. tubbo was found on the side of the road, and back when phil was in l’manberg they often worked together to build l’manberg. fundy is phil’s grandchild, who’s looking for any family he can get.

and phil sees them as corrupt, for reasons all adjacent to techno. although he was kind to them, he never truly paid attention to their trauma; and once they started directly opposing techno, well. they were dead to him, pretty much. this is neglect and abuse, everyone.

his conversation with ghostbur has only been the most overt example of this. and if ranboo ever decides to leave technoblade, well. I think we know where that is going.

incomplete list of quotes that sound like they’re from classics but are instead from minecraft roleplay:

“Independence or death. If we get no revolution, then we want nothing.”

“The thing about this world is that the only universal language is violence, and we’ve had that conversation.”

“This isn’t the right thing to do. This isn’t the moral thing to do. What’s the point in doing anything if you’ve lost all hope?”

“Please remember that I’ve gotten everything taken away from me, and you know what they say about a woman that has nothing to lose.”

“This is the last moment for Judas to reveal themselves. Who’s the traitor?”

“However, I am questioning my own stand in this war. Am I on the right side? There is no true answer to the question, and it can only be told by time.”

(feel free to add on-)
