⋆ˊˎ- Hi, I'm Ekko She/They/It

✩I'm 19, black, a lesbian, and I enjoy going in-depth about media I like. I'm partial to animated media.

✩My criticism usually comes because I really like a show/movie/book/whatever but don't like a choice they made my complaining is all in good fun. If I genuinely don't like something, I'm more likely to completely ignore it lol.

Also, I will not argue in reblogs or comments with you voice your opinions as you like, but I'm not responding to anything that jumps to personally insulting me. I'm here for fun, just like I assume you are as well. I will block freely if your an ass to me.

Hands down, best scene I've seen in a film for years. Fucking art of the highest caliber. This will NEVER get old to me.

[ekkolocate]

Thank you Sinners for freeing me of my arcane hyperfixation by being the black vampire movie of my dreams

[prettyshon10]

The fact that folks are debating which twin is finer than which when they’re the same nigga is proof of MBJ’s acting chops in itself.

[tentacleteapot]

it really frustrates me to think about how people are inevitably going to take Remmick’s one (1) singular statement about how much he resents the way the Irish were colonized and forcibly converted to Christianity and use it as fuel for “actually he had a point” and “he was right actually” and “he’s not really the villain here” posts, when the whole point is that Remmick is, through the vampiric hive mind he’s creating, forcibly assimilating people into yet another manipulative and parasitical system. he doesn't value the cultures of the people he assimilates—notice how all the vampires he turns dance to his culture's music using his culture's dances, and how he only uses the languages or knowledge other vampires have to offer when he needs to manipulate someone. Remmick is extremely transparent about the way he sees the people he turns as resources to exploit.

he’s perpetuating a cycle that he claims to hate and resent, and I think the movie is pretty damn clear about the fact that he doesn’t see anybody as valuable or useful to him except as prey and as pawns—otherwise he would just, you know, focus solely on people who actually consent to being turned. but he looked sad in that one scene and he’s an apparently attractive white cis man so people are gonna bend over backwards justifying all the harm he did.

Woke up, still obsessed with Sinners.

Seriously, if you ever wanted to ask/wondered:

What and why our music means so much to the Black community, the roots from the past to the present

Why it's so deeply insulting to deal with the cultural appropriation and disrespect of Black music, given the depth of that meaning

How we use language, history, and context to determine when somebody ain't kinfolk despite pretending

How you might be allowed to forget that you're white, but we aren't allowed to forget that you're white, and that frames our interactions with you

How your allyship can fall oh so uselessly flat, no matter how well intentioned you may be, if you refuse to understand your position within the game

Why what scares you as fantastical is often a living nightmare for people of color, and how that history and social context can weave a horror story that hits close to home (I have a whole lesson on that!)

And more, go watch that movie 🙏🏾

Still thinking about the "I keep telling myself that you're different" line btw. She kept telling herself that Vi wasn't really a Zaunite. That she's different from them. That's why Vi ending up with Caitlyn in Piltover without any friends (ex. Ekko) is so horrid - Caitlyn succeeded in erasing the Zaun parts of Vi

[knightbrunnhilde]

I think the pure horror of seeing Vi humming Dear Friend Across the River before saying "Eh just some song I guess", like it was the final trace of revolutionary spirit leaving her body, is never quite gonna get matched. I sit around shaking with the anxiety it gives me. Canon Caitvi is such a monstrously abusive relationship that sucks out every fibre of Vi's being till she's an empty shell of who she used to be and the writers' insistence that it's cute is just putrid.

[knightbrunnhilde]

Here's an open call for harassment against me for disliking Caitlyn and saying it's bad to exploit your authority for cheap sex, in case you thought the Arcane fandom was sane right now. I also wanna stress this person's followers have already broken the no slur rule lmfao. Interesting how they like to call people misogynistic or homophobic for criticising Caitlyn but see no issue harassing trans lesbians and calling them slurs.

[wildlybewitched-deactivated2025]

Something that I do not understand is the number of people patrolling the #arcane critical tag to beat down people’s opinions. The tag is used by people, who for the most part, are critiquing and analyzing a piece of media or expressing disappointment in the changes made to a story & characters they cared about. People spamming and commenting on every ‘arcane critical’ post are explicitly and often admittedly trying to beat down and harass people with a different opinion than theirs. I don’t get it.

The long list of things surrounding Ekko that Arcane didn't explain or Show

Honestly, you could make 3 seasons worth of content about all the unexplained Ekko sh*t. Here it is. If you think I missed something feel free to add it in the replies.

1. Why is he with Benzo? What happened to his still living game parents?

2. Who adopted him after Benzo's death? Scar? Verne and Jules? Did his Birthparents help if their alive? Did Silco at least try to take him in because of Jinx, but it clearly didn't work out so he just lived on the streets for a while?

3. When did his falling out with Jinx happen? Was it immediate? Or much later?

4. When did he found the Firelights? And why were they so irrelevant in season 2 despite the fact season 1 thought they were so important that they needed a whole ass music video made about them?

5. Who were Ekko's other dead friends that Jinx killed? You'd think we'd at least get some name drops?

6. How does Ekko feel about all the things Cait and Vi did to his people in season 2?

7. Why did he almost never ask any important questions about the happy AU world? The AU world was written to be a paradise. I'd want every single detail about how make that happen in my reality if I was Ekko.

8. How long was he actually at the AU world? It seemed like just a day, but the montage made it seem longer? If it was actually a couple days then how the hell did he not know about AU Silco until the party?

9. How did he manage to convince the Firelights to work with Jinx? I mean, if they already didn't want to work with the Jinxers then why would they want to work with Jinx herself?

10. What was his reunion with the Firelights actually like? They literally thought he died. On a mission with Heimerdinger. They probably blamed him. Do they know he sacrificed himself to help Ekko?

11. Did Ekko actually tell anyone about the Alt reality? If so, how specific was he?

Watching people defend arcane characters using nothing but vibes and minor facial expressions

Arcane having such wonderful and meaningful animation in s1 destroyed people's ability to interact with s2 because now everything is a fucking conspiracy based on whether or not someone's lip twitches. S1 could have been listened to without any visuals, and you still would have understood the story because the animation added to the story being told it didn't make the story. s2 had such a mediocre story that the animation, while beautiful, is left floundering adding depth to a puddle.

[undertalepilled]

something I dont appreciate about arcane season 2 is how it somehow managed to mischaracterize silco from the grave. from "the base violence necessary for change" into "we build our own prisons" "I thought I could break free by eliminating those I deemed my jailors" Girl piltover is your jailors sometimes quite literally, what are you talking about.

[xxbrightshadowxx]

Sure it made me pissed when Caitlyn hit Vi in the abdomen with her rifle, but I wanted to kill something when I saw people’s reaction to it online. Their butchphobia is strong and it is showing. A rifle hit to abdomen would fucking hurt! Even if you are strong and have muscles it is still painful. Don’t believe me that people are acting like this? Under the cut is a compilation of tweets people made after act one was released. I covered names for privacy.

It is so frustrating seeing people think like this. Yes I understand some people could be sarcastic or joking but there are plenty in the fandom who believe just because Vi is a muscular woman it was okay to hit her. I really wanna just go one by one and debunk the stupidity in each post but I’m too busy right now to

[acollectionofwanderinginterests]

Arcane is so progressive! It shows how the oppressed and the oppressors came together in the end to fight the true evil: A Black Woman from Another Country and a Disabled Man

[tryingmybestiguess]

Is impressive how they messed all the relationships so badly.

Like I used to ship Jayce and Viktor and I was ready for drama, hell I didn't even expect a happy ending. But then Viktor's fear for his life and health and desire to improve zaunites lives it's reduced to "perfectionism" and becomes one of the big bads so we don't have to adress the elephant in the room that is the system that almost killed him and continues to opress zaunites. Also half of Jayce actions don't make sense.

I just don't find it interesting anymore.

And dear god they wasted an entire episode on an au fanservice for timbomb where Jinx is a manic pixie dream with barely any personality, all while Ekko is kept away from the real plot and from interacting with the Jinx Ekko knows. I guess it was too hard to adress the complex relationship they had so they had to put au Jinx, so Ekko and Jinx interactions wouldn't be tense and uncomfortable. It needs to be marketable.

And well Caitvi... We all know what happened with Caitvi, and Mel isn't actually in the plot stops being a character and barely interactes with Jayce

They destroyed what made the characters them for a more comfortable story and fanservice and made every relationship terrible.

And this is kinda short because if I decided to talk about platonic relationships this would be never ending.

I miss my wife her name is the themes of political oppression and class divide in arcane season one has anyone seen her
