Also;

Reblog the fundraisers you mfs!!!!! I don't know why you all skip those to reblog some pic of a banner saying "FREE PALESTINE" or of news from Columbia University! Literally these people from Gaza have made an account on Tumblr and is writing in english to communicate what they need and you all are coming onto my blog or on the tag and not reblogging their posts. We have people both Palestinian and non Palestinian vetting the fundraisers! I mean more the reblogs, more the chance of the fundraisers gaining momemtum, the more there would be a chance of a donation. Please donate if you can and reblog!!! and follow them if it is possible.

@/mohammedayesh has posted about getting leaflets, telling them to evacuate Rafah. They are very low on funds. Go follow them and reblog their posts and donate if possible.

Follow them! They are on tumblr. Reblog their posts and donate. The protests in universities are being done on account of them. They should be our focus.

(EDIT: on re-reading my post it seems as if I am dismissing all that the students of universities are doing. I am not. I just meant, since all of it is to help Palestinians, we must not ignore them when they ask for help).

if viktor dies again (which) i predict is highly likely, i really want it to be on his goddamn terms.

however, i don’t think it is by mistake that viktor is written with little to no autonomy this season. in his final words/closing monologue, he speaks about the human condition and the elements that contradict one another but still coexist together, the binaries of hate vs love, sacrifice, suffering, affliction, healing, rebirth etc.

all of those things must exist, they must survive. they cannot be overcome, the good and the bad are necessary for life to be experienced in its fullest. if viktor and jayce are meant to represent one side of a coin, their consent was never something that mattered to begin with. it is not by mistake viktor discussed the possibility of fate — predestined paths and a future already foretold — with singed, his former mentor.

tldr; it’s arcane. everything happens for a reason but i too, am annoyed about viktor not having much of an autonomy this season.

as a side note: i get all the hate jayce is getting for what happened but people are forgetting that he is not himself, viktor even says this after he witnesses jayce murder salo.

if jayce was actually in there he would’ve broke free of whatever was controlling him, but the “cause” — which is unknown to us as the audience, as of now — was far greater than preserving the life of viktor.

now, keep in mind jayce wouldn’t have to kill viktor if he never resurrected him with the hexcore, he is already being punished for the choices that he made.

the arcane came into this world through jayce, he is the catalyst of everything, and i fear that it is only him that can correct what happened.

i don’t think it’s a mistake that the “arcane” title card appears after jayce walks into the light either, so despite the second time viktor dies being completely out of his and jayce’s hands. the boy wasn’t himself, even when executing the death of his someone dead to him, he doesn’t even haggle — he knows what is at stake.

jayce has seen what heimerdinger has been warning him of all along, he understands now… and unfortunately viktor does too…

tldr; maybe stop being mad at jayce? perhaps?

it's so fucked up that viktor still hasn't had any autonomy this season. he gets brought back against his own will by jayce with the hexcore. and then he makes peace with that decision and starts a commune to try to help other people and jayce kills him. and now singed is probably going to bring him back as the machine herald and he still has no say in the matter. he has no choice here, he's just being yanked around like a puppet. and that's not even talking about whatever the arcane could be doing to his mind

happy ides of march to all who celebrate!

as it was foretold, the blood of caesar will be spilled into the streets of rome. brethren, raise your knives and say a prayer to your gods! today we hunt for caesar, today will emerge victorious!

DOWN WITH CAESAR! >:D

ngl.

if i shat myself in the middle of the cricket pitch during a sport’s carnival where my friends, family, my enemies and the fucking headmaster was in attendance—

that’s my last straw.

you won’t see me come to school tomorrow.

i don’t care if everyone else on the team had the shits too, i refuse to be associated with that clownery.

either the headmaster transfers me to purple house or we’re throwing hands.

bro i’m so FUCKING eepy.

like aggressively eepy.

it’s insanity at this point to even attempt to function.

new kendrick good

i sorta agree with this? but there are some things i feel you may have overlooked in your analysis of the pacing.

season one was a slow trainwreck, we knew the outcome from episode one and everything was building up to the inevitable. for me it felt like being in the passenger seat of a car stuck on a train track, you can hear the sound of the gate closing, see the lights flashing, feel the ground shake as the train approaches with no means of getting out. season one was controlled chaos.

season two, had the impossible task of living up to the impeccably high expectations of its fans because of the masterful tragedy they were able to write. this is the aftermath of the train collision, you’re alive but you don’t understand how — everything is a blur, piecing through how everything led up to that point is confusing.

i personally feel that the uneasy action-packed fast pace benefits the story and works thematically for what it wishes to achieve. i write a lot, and as i writer i found some of the decisions arcane’s writing team took to be things i would’ve done had i have been in their shows.

there were times it was too hard to predict anything (especially early on) because of the direction they were going with the story. what they’ve managed to achieve is no easy feat, and writing endings is never easy.

i doubt if there was another season it would lessen the blow, it’s bittersweet that it had to end in just two seasons but i believe they’ve done an excellent job even if the pacing feels a little iffy on its own. as a collective piece, i think it compliments the first season.

Arcane Season 2 ‘s pacing is atrocious and nothing is ever properly followed up. Jinx being the face of Zaun’s revolution? Nothing comes out of it. Ekko trying to find a way to save his community from the Hextech infection and learn more about his efforts of saving Zaun? Dropped and he is absent from Act 2 until reappearing in Act 3. An exploration of Vi’s trauma? Unexplored to focus on her relationship with Caitlyn and Jinx. Caitlyn realizing the error of her ways? Skipped over so she can get with Vi. Viktor’s journey to becoming the Machine Herald out of his own choice? Sped over with Singed doing it for him. Sevika leading Zaun? Skipped over until the end where she is now a council member representing Zaun. Mel got a proper solo arc but her screentime was limited.

does anyone know if we have joy and whimsy tomorrow
