This Scene, or, Why I Smiled Like an Idiot for Several Minutes
As someone who watched ‘Get Jinxed’ when it first came out 8 years ago, I lost it when it (inevitability) showed up in Arcane. This show is already one of, if not my all time time favorite (if you haven’t watched it yet, please do! Steampunk better explode after this show demonstrated how fun of a setting it is to work with, the animation is GORGEOUS, the music on point, and the characters are some of the best I’ve seen). Anyway,
Re-watching the show for the nth time (because this show is practically like Shimmer at this point and I’m ready to sell out my old friends to get me more, M̸̜̳͕͑O̸͎̗͆͊̓R̷̳͛̆͘E̵̡̡̺͐͆!) I noticed a couple of small details that just make me smile like an idiot.
Due to reasons that can only be discerned by watching the show (DO IT HEATHEN!), Silco is in dire need to speak to his My Little Anarchist, but is unable to because the best hit of 2013 is blaring in the background and Jinx is in 🙉 The Zone 🙉 .
When Silco slams his fist and cuts off the music, the lyric he just interrupted was: “Do you ever want to catch me? Right now I’m feeling ignored.” This show. It’s such a miniscule detail, probably shouldn’t have warranted this chaotic post, but damn. I have been studying this show like I’m Augustine receiving his revelation. And when it adds small stuff like this, over time, it just makes me smile like an idiot, and really, that’s just neat.
Bonus (Because I always loved this shot from the music video):
Seriously, watch this music video, “Get Jinxed” slaps harder than when Vi punched her sister.
Arcane is 10/10 Would Fall into the Void Again. 2023 when?
