Hello! Behold the true power of the hexblog!  

I saw an edit video of Viktor and Jayce with Marc Anthony playing in the background and that was the defining moment that made me watch this stupid (affectionate) show, and as predicted, the show has possessed me like the hexcore, so now I’m here. 

This is a slide blog! You can find my other two blogs here:

Main - @disaster-by-chance Star Wars SB - @stars-n-spice 

DMs are always open if you wanna chat about Arcane! please I know like three people outside my family members who know about the show 

Add me on discord! disasterbychance Or check out my Ao3! disaster_by_chance

Wanna hear my recorded reactions to Arcane?

While watching the episodes for the first time, I went ahead and recorded my reactions to document the experience and have a little fun with it because I knew this show was going to be something that was going to consume me.

Ok so-

been feeling like Orpheus 'WAIT FOR MEE' these last six months because I ordered my Zaundads Zine thinking it would arrive before my move to Korea but it DIDN'T </3

Thankfully I got the version with the digital download too so I at LEAST got to look at it, but every day since being in Korea I've felt like a soldier mourning their lover back at home.

But I'm FINALLY going back tomorrow 😭 Cannot wait to hold it in my hands

Younger brother came into my room and started playing me all these songs and going "okay but imagine Ekko and Jinx to this!" and for like an hour we were just like crying and thinking about the two and everything that could've been.

Keeping this as if it won't be '0' all the time.

Riot Acknowledged his existence and confirms he canonically serves cunt

spreading my girlfail Felicia and cringe Vander propaganda + some Connol headcanons:

He’s a tattoo artist.

He’s kinda slow, super oblivious to Felicia’s flirting attempts.

Felicia calls him “Blossoms” because he has natural red/pink hair (Vi got it from him) but he just dyes it brown to avoid sticking out in the mines.

I really want to talk about what I believe this moment meant for Babette. I will do my best to stick with what we're certain of, but I will probably digress.

We know that Babette watched Jinx grow up. She saw Powder when she was just a little girl struggling to keep up with her sister and brothers, and then she saw her become Jinx with Silco.

When Vi spoke with her, Babette did not seem to hold any hope. A lot of people have pointed out that despite having the information, Babette did not tell Vi about Jinx. However, Vi specifically had asked her this: "Have you heard anything about Powder? I think Silco has her."

While Babette did not answer, she did look utterly heartbroken.

From what we see, no one views Jinx as Powder anymore in the Lanes. That girl is gone. That girl, for all intents and purposes, is dead.

This is likely not the first time Babette has seen this happen.

Babette likely saw it happen with Silco first.

Babette likely saw a little boy become a young man with dreams only to watch him fall into darkness, never to claw his way out.

So when she hangs her head and mutters, "It's nothing" after Vi leaves, it's because she already knows the outcome.

She knows what to expect.

She knows not to hope.

But then, unlike Silco, Babette gets to see Jinx do good despite it all.

I don't think she sees Powder here.

I think she sees she was wrong, that Jinx didn't succumb to darkness entirely.

I think she sees a piece of the determination that was in Silco's eyes as a young rebel.

I think she sees a piece of that drive to care for others that Vander had when watching over the Lanes.

And I think all at once for Babette, not everything is lost. Not Silco's dream, not Vander's hope, and not that little girl she once saw toddling after her siblings.

Could've gone my whole life not knowing that they crafted Silco out to be this "dirty little thing" and the only one who didn't see him as that was Vander, but noooo.

They had to go out and put that on print with those fuckass pictures of them young and in love so that every now and then I'll remember that fact, about how Silco fought so hard to not be seen as some dirty thing and how Vander never saw him as being that until he did, and how damning that must've been for Silco to have the one motherfucker who saw you as something different, something beautiful even, try to put him down in filth.

LISTEN.

I think about Silco embracing who we see in the show a LOT.

Honestly, like from what we see of him after the fact, it very much does seem like he embraces the fact that he is a dirty little thing and will only ever be seen as such by the people around him in like his actions and whatnot–like he owns being the snake in the shadows, he's got that aesthetic down to a science.

Because, hell, if the one guy who didn't see him like that at one point (someone so close to him, someone he trusted) suddenly shows his true colors, lashes out, and essentially just proves and reinstates that he's Pilt sewage trash, then who's to say that everyone else around him won't think the same?

However! At the same time, he does do things like covering his scar with makeup and he wears nice clothes with the gold trims and has that big ass coat that makes him look like a frilled-neck liazard - like to an extent he's still keeping up his appearances and whatnot, but at the same time he's embracing that yeah, maybe he is a dirty little thing. But like, those old habits obviously die hard.

Like every time his hair gets messed up, he puts it back into place!

Idk if I'm really making sense here but he definitely was just like "Fuck it, okay fine, I'll embrace what the world thinks of me" and also just continued to make do with what he had in order to keep up his appearances. Like it went hand in hand, almost. He definitely became what they fears but also in the meantime he had to make sure he looked good doing it.

I’m fine, they are just in love (and Silco can’t stop touching his husband, Vander) it’s okay
