Grian, universally being depicted with wings, losing so many significant lives to falling. Joel didn’t deliver the final blow - Grian died hitting the ground.

And how about him having a taste of flight, only for his wings to crumble mid air and plummet to earth below?

Falling from the desert mountain? Hitting the nether roof as Mumbo watches on? Falling from Skynet?

A flightless bird, doomed back to earth. Icarus, too close to the sun.

‘Put Oli in the life series!’ ‘I want to see Oli as a player!’

Have you perhaps considered that Oli is in fact, the silliest Watcher? A Dionysus trope, if you will. One of revelry, shenanigans, and damn good times?

He’s your favourite Watcher’s favourite Watcher. He is not immune to the good times. He is here to lovingly torment the players with his bops and jams.

The Canary Curse really is my favourite concept to come from the series, and the way it’s still applicable even when Jimmy isn’t the first to die.

It is well documented how miners cared for their canaries. Some people may have seen an image of Little Joe, famously, is still in a coffin from 1875, preserved out of love. Miners cared so deeply for their friends, and how could they not? Mumbo said himself he didn’t want Jimmy to die first, even with their vendetta against him.

The miner went without his canary, and suffered the consequences.

Grian is absolutely feeding the fandom this time around. The constant nods to past series, outwardly saying ‘we don’t remember what happened in the other series.’

Sure, he means it literally, but everyone slowly losing their recollection of the past games, slowly losing touch with why they have these ally ships, these grudges, these harsh feelings. Yet they exist still, they persist at the whim of the watchers.

What is most memorable being the violence, the heartache. Scar, bitterly recalling Grian’s secret soulmate, people recalling so quickly how Martyn killed Ren because, as Grian pointed out, he was beheaded with an axe.

This series has my heart and soul

Arcane posting, no season 2 spoilers, but discussions of disability, grief and death//

Viktor from the perspective of someone who is disabled, chronically ill and who has recently lost people to terminal illnesses evokes something that may only be described as cathartic.

The whole arcane team took such care to make him a respectful, and dare I say beautiful representation of the lives so many people lead. I have never seen a piece of big media represent disability so well.

The scene of him running is my favourite of the series. It was not a cure, they did not have him ‘overcome’ his disability like there is some magic fix. The interpretations that could be made from this scene, what symbolically it means and what it represents for people are so vast, personal and unique. For me, I’m most deeply touched thinking about the friends of mine who would, and have, given up health for the sake of moments of normalcy, who pushed themselves too far in spite of themselves. Loved ones I’ve seen turn to dependencies and vices that ruined them, just for a fleeting sensation of bliss.

The moment when Jayce stops him before he steps off. How he wanted to go out on his own terms. How so much of what he does is about his autonomy, reclaiming it, and how sometimes that is through terrible means. But is it not worth it to own yourself? It’s a question I feel so many of us have considered at one point or another.
