a siren sounds like the goddess who promises endless apologies of paradise...
i'm not following the themes very strictly haha, it isn't obvious except for to me XD
you're getting more lore! in religions around the world, ascension to a higher consciousness is a common theme. and some people think, those who are smarter, who are able, have the right to rule and say what can and can't be. are we out of line? are people inherently sinful?
but when you wish to chase the very top, you'll never be happy - when you're already doing your best...the only way you go higher is by bringing the people around you down
arcane really gave us a butch lesbian protag from an underprivileged city district whose parents were murdered by cops, then paired her up with a prudish cop. said cop later coerces her into joining the police force, leads a glorified SWAT team on an """anti-terrorism""" crusade against poor people, and commits literal war crimes against them, all while pressuring the protag to kill her own sister who she's desperately trying to rehabilitate. the cop also never apologizes or tries to make amends, nor does she really sympathize with the protag's conflict over having to kill her own sister or express regret over how she's treated civilians in the impoverished district. and we're supposed to root for them to be together at the end
but it's cool because she has a sexy eyepatch and a cool gun and a posh british accent!! ...right guys...?
