arcane truly so broken in a structural level that they had 3 characters attempting suicide and all 3 get an ending where offing themselves is the heroic answer. like you truly cannot make this shit up. and this only happens because changing the status quo is seen as a crime lol - ThreadSky

I thought i was insane for not liking Arcane's writing/story. At least not in season 2 it just made me feel rlly miserable to watch 😭 Maybe that's the point and I just didn't get it

Shoutout to everyone who is coping with Jinx's death by thinking she's in that airship but the idea that she is just makes me angrier because it means they used the death of a mentally ill, suicidal character for shock value and the "sacrifice" angle was complete nonsense to begin with

hexhomos.bsky.social•25 days ago

the thing is these ppl are right bc riot has been making jinx merch where she says "im alive!!!" or whatever and very plainly Will milk her for as long as there is an audience but the main text is still the same. you cant change anything you can only give up lol

Riot has been making merch of WHAT

Oh my god that’s evil

hexhomos.bsky.social•25 days ago

im pretty sure in the artbook that is a signature done in her handwriting style

azurekat.bsky.social•25 days ago

I will never forgive them for Jinx’s ending.

I need someone to write a happy end au for Jinx and Ekko.

The show: There's always time to build something new and start again. You're not inherently broken.

Also the show, 5mins later: sike, actually you're all broken and the world will only be better if you're not in it 🫶

I hate Arcane 😃👍

is it society that needs to change? no. we believe in the divine right of kings. it is you who should k*** yourself for not being born right

pinaaasher.bsky.social•25 days ago

This is why I fuck so HARD with the AH being a visual allegory for challenging the status quo a— [gets dragged off stage]

reneeworks.bsky.social•25 days ago

companies are really incapable of humanizing suicide if it's not used as a mean to maintain status quo, uh

blooddrool.bsky.social•25 days ago

it has such amazing designs and animation but the writing hooohhh my god

jaycetalis.bsky.social•25 days ago

an unfortunate trope in media: suicide scary and bad! self sacrifice: heroic and good! (hint: they're the same thing)

hexhomos.bsky.social•25 days ago

self sacrifice can work in other contexts but not when you literally have 3 characters who try to off themselves through very real and doable ways

diddilov.bsky.social•25 days ago

Sometimes it feels fucked up that the world where Jayce commits suicide and his dream isn't fulfilled is the only place where almost everyone is happy, when the problem was never Hextech, but Piltover and the council to begin with

diddilov.bsky.social•25 days ago

It seems ridiculous to me to think that the council suddenly started caring about Zaun and its children when they never did before. It's simply bad writing. Instead of addressing the real problem, which is the corrupt system, they killed Vi and suddenly everything got better

7daneasmund.bsky.social•25 days ago

I mean no, heimerdinger was there that time with knowledge of what was wrong and clearly affected change this time around, plus the dangerous thing that happened with vi.

akipls.bsky.social•24 days ago

Yeah, but I still refuse to believe a change that significant happened in the span of 3 years:/

diddilov.bsky.social•25 days ago

I know but it was off-screen (which I understand because there wasn't time but 😭)

tampire.bsky.social•25 days ago

I thought the same too and yeah the writing is so miserable for my comfort characters indeed.
