As I've mentioned, I'm rewatching Arcane again, so here are some Sappho Offical takes on the Season 1 characters, so spoilers ahead:
Vi:
Step on me please Violent and traumatized queen, love the immediate teasing of Caitlyn, love the character as a whole (I want her so bad y'all)
The anger issues? The trauma? The staunch defense of her home and dedication to her sister even after realizing her major fuck up? 👌
"You're hot, cupcake~ So what's it gonna be? Man or woman? 😏"
Caitlyn:
Such an interesting character
She's pretty, obviously, but she's got my critical thinking gears turning. On the one hand, she's a cop, and she wants to be one BAD. That's generally an ick. But on the other hand she doesn't just lean into the system (on season 1, at least). She looks concerned when Vi and the prison manager mention their "talks", she's trying her best to solve the case, she's smart. All the while, she's practically a princess. She has all this privilege and still goes into a career that causes quite a bit of social backlash
Jayce:
Golden retriever, bi, and poly. Absolutely love. This man is me, swear to god 🤣
How dare you abandon Viktor so fast
You ate up Mel's manipulation praise so fast, and honestly, I would too
He really did have his heart in the right place, but after he became counselor things (or arguably when he was nominated to give that speech) things started going down hill
Viktor:
My poor, poor man. I love him
I forgot how much personality he has in the first season and how different season 2 Viktor is from season 1 Viktor. The facial expressions, omggg-
Jayce started drifting away their science and yaoi got doomed 😭
(Also, ik we're sad about Jayvik not being canon, and that is still a favorite ship of mine, but also love the asexual representation. Gay or ace, this is my boy and I support him)
Mel:
Also step on me, PLEASE This woman is a player AND puppeteer, omgggg-
She was playing them from the start and had me GAGGED. And she's absolutely gorgeous??? Ngl, I'm with Jayce on this one, I wish I could put my head in her lap. The political prowess would be hot if it didn't, y'know, end with all...that
Logically, I should probably have more issues with her than I do, but I'm down BAD y'all 😭
Jinx:
I honestly feel bad for her. She obviously has a lot going mentally and the depiction of her triggers and PTSD had me sobbing. I remember reading something about how the animators had a different face "skeleton" for Jinx and Powder, and knowing that, I'm even more impressed
Someone get this girl a therapist and some meds please, my girl needs help
Vander:
...SIR, NO- 😭
Silco:
Your husband tried to drown you, yes, but also calm down, please 😭
The grooming was a wild move, and the dedication to being a father figure was even wilder
You got your revenge on your hubby, now leave the gays alone and let them be, pls
Marcus (special shout out bc I do not see enough hate on this man):
This man- 😤
Like, I need you to understand, I feel the same way about Marcus that I do about Maddie. I don't know why, Maddie is much worse (fight me), but like...Rage. Every time I see him.
Selvika:
👏STEP👏ON👏ME👏
This woman-
Every time she came in screen, I was making the same face as Danny Motta. This one:
Every single time 😭
Grayson:
Honestly, same as Selvika
This woman is FINE
Why does this show make me simp for cops 😭
That's all I can think of right now. Feel free to send me more characters to react to, loll. I'll probably do another one of these for season 2
Love y'all 🫶
