ARCANE 2x07 Pretend Like Its the First Time

[lemargirl8]

So I realized something last week when I finished Arcane for the second time. Caitlyn and Vi are together in every universe. So if Vi died in that blast… So did Caitlyn…

[halyasgirl]

In Ekko's Good Timeline, instead of a period where Powder transformed into Jinx, I think there must've been a period where Act I Silco became Alternate Silco.

By Act I Silco had already become cruel, spiteful, and vindictive, among other qualities. I've seen speculation that this particular reformation was spurred by Silco discovering The Letter, which is possible, but I think it's likely that losing Vi could've pushed Vander to recover whatever family he had left, by any means necessary.

I don't know how this happened, how many attempts Vander made. I definitely don't know what Vander's grieving, traumatized children thought of Vander bringing (dragging) Silco into their family, as if he could fill the hole Vi left. But I do think Powder would have been the first to accept his place with them, even before Silco himself. Whether that was trailing after him to make sure he came home for dinner, or risking Enforcers to take ophthalmology texts from Piltover's Academy library, or gently refusing to gouge out Vander's eye, when her asking what would make him feel better received a rather graphic response, Powder would refuse to let him go.

And it would go both ways, eventually. Powder's brilliant, but insecure. But when she developed a less harmful alternative to Shimmer, Silco trusted her to inject her concoction into his eye. She was the only one allowed.

Vi used to say she could fix anything. Powder may not be able to fix her family, but she can try to help them heal, in every sense of the word.

so that's it huh

[morally-gay-villain]

ok so genuine question, cause perhaps either i’m not caught up with the game lore or i missed something in the show… but if ekko didn’t have any indication of unlocking his 4-seconds time reversal until late into the second season, then why did he even have the hourglass painted on his face in the first place this whole time — and why, ironically, would he not have it upon making that discovery?

"Ma meilleure ennemie" by Stromae & Pomme - translation

how everyone's yeah me too. here's the lyrics (+ english translation) to that beautiful song playing in ep 7 :)

"Ma meilleure ennemie" ("My best enemy" note: this is in the feminine form, so implying a female You for all of Stromae's part)

Je t’aime je t’attends

(I love you, I await you) -> loops, sound crackling/electronic

[STROMAE]

T'es la meilleure chose qui m'est arrivée

(You're the best thing that happened to me)

Mais aussi la pire chose qui m'est arrivée

(But also the worse thing that happened to me)

Le jour où je t'ai rencontrée j'aurais peut-être préféré

(The day I met you I maybe would have preferred that)

Que ce jour ne soit jamais arrivé (arrivé)

(That day had never happened (happened))

La pire des bénédictions

(The worst of blessings)

La plus belle des malédictions

(The most beautiful of curses)

De toi je devrais m'éloigner

(From you I should distance myself)

Mais comme dit le diction

(But as the saying goes)

« Plutôt qu’être seul mieux vaut être mal accompagné »

(“Instead of being alone, better be in bad company”) -> note: the usual saying is "Mieux vaut être seul qu'être mal accompagné" (= "Better be alone than in bad company"))

[BOTH]

Tu sais ce qu’on dit

(You know what they say)

[STROMAE]

« Soit près de tes amis les plus chers »

("Be close to your dearest friends”)

[BOTH]

Mais aussi

(But also)

[POMME]

« Encore plus près de tes adversaires »

("Closer still to your opponents”)

REFRAIN

Je t’aime je t’attends

(I love you, I await you) -> in the background, sound crackling/electronic, grows in intensity during the refrain. I'd say the "I love you" part is the most clear

[STROMAE]

Mais ma meilleure ennemie c’est toi

(But my worst enemy it’s you)

Fuis-moi

(Run from me)

Le pire c’est toi et moi

(The worst is you and me)

[POMME]

Mais si tu cherches encore ma voix

(But if you still search for my voice)

Oublie-moi

(Forget me)

Le pire c’est toi et moi

(The worst is you and me)

Pourquoi ton prénom me blesse

(Why does your name hurt me)

Quand il se cache

(When it hides)

Juste là dans l’espace ?

(Right here in the space)

C’est quelle émotion... la haine

(What feeling is this, hatred)

Ou la douceur quand j’entends ton prénom ?

(Or sweetness/softness when I hear your name?)

Je t’avais dit

(I had told you)

« Ne regarde pas en arrière »

("Don’t look back")

Le passé qui te suit te fait la guerre

(The past that’s following you is waging war on you)

REFRAIN

[BOTH]

Mais ma meilleure ennemie c’est toi

(But my best enemy it’s you)

Fuis-moi

(Run from me)

Le pire c’est toi et moi

(The worst it’s you and me)

Mais ma meilleure ennemie c’est toi

(But my best enemy it’s you)

Fuis-moi

(Run from me)

Le pire c’est toi et moi

(The worst it’s you and me)

Je t’aime je t’attends

(I love you, I await you) -> loops until the abrupt end of the song, sound crackling as Pomme vocalises
