#arcane details

[lady-griffin]

I just noticed this now, but right before Heimerdinger and Viktor’s scene at the start of episode 6, the camera pans up and we several sewer tunnels.

There is some clear skull imagery happening here; for Victor’s impending death and him overall dealing with his mortality in not just this scene alone, but the rest of the episode and season as well.

I just never noticed this detail before, like at all, and thought it was so cool and amazing that I had to share it immediately.

Seriously, every time I think there’s nothing new that I can notice in this show, Arcane once more proves me completely wrong; and I absolutely love that about this amazing, god-tier level of a show.

its been a long long night for them

my contribution to the jayvik zine "Our Hextech Dream"

#jayce talis #viktor arcane #jayvik #arcane #ive had this finished for 84 years i dont even remember all the minor details i added anymore #i hope you have some mild fun looking at them #arcane by me #artwork #im glad i added the ladder though #sorry step-ladder #theyre beyond drunk and going straight into hangover mode any time now

I know a lot of people use these two images to show Viktor's character development into a (what we have yet to seen) antagonist, but I think it shows a more resolute—hardened Viktor.

In this shot, Viktor is stagnant. He looks lost, sad, even surprised. He only watches on as Jayce speaks for them, and Hextech, as a whole.

In this scene, he feels and looks utterly powerless.

But this Viktor?

He looks determined. Resolute and unrelenting. Shaped, now, by his own regrets. Instead of Jayce doing the talking, Viktor does.

This is a Viktor who looks like he's daring the council to fuck with him, frankly. A Viktor that is determined to set things right, to not lose their dream again, no matter what.

(And whether Jayce and Viktor succeed in this, we'll see)

#just realized that dogged determination may be the factor into his GLORIOUS EVOLUTION #if the arcane writers go that route #tbh i always find it funnt how people say viktor looks evil here bc im like? nah my man looks ready to verbally destroy someone #like i said hes literally daring you to fuck with him and find out and its great #another animation detail i found is that Viktor's eyes widen and have that little sparkle of hope/wonder when hes says “independence” #arcane viktor #arcane lol #tbh if im talking about jayce or viktor you can just assume #jayvik

it's hilarious that a few days after i finished babel, i went to history class and our topic visited colonization, and my (white) professor said that teaching history within education is politicized and his example was how slavery and colonization are taught in most history classes as europe's invasion of other continents and enslavement of the native peoples there, thus racializing the issue of the slave trade. he asked why don't history classes focus on the fact slavery was a practice found in many cultures other than europe and that europeans also enslaved other europeans, which is a fair point... however he commented that "the version of history that's taught is a way for [european nations] to pay reparations i suppose" and it's an example how education distorts historical events through the lens of "modern politics".

and i'm sitting there like... colonization will always be tied to race. whether we like it or not, that period of history had forcibly tied race to colony, and we feel those effects to this day. that is why it's still important to talk about it. we breathe the consequences, live the consequences, and see the consequences of colony. we are products of a bloody, inequal, and unfair history that still poisons our lives today.

along the lecture, i interjected that any and all forms of colonization was bad and he claimed he could think of pax romana as one good form of colonization. the roman empire's golden age was only golden if you were roman, sir.

as an asian in academia studying outside her home country, i have to cosplay babel every day and i am already so tired. I've been missing my professors back home because they spoke against colony and oppression with fire and brimstone and passion and here they turn away from the blood empire or they see little wrong with it.

dark academia is aptly named because by god is it fucking dark here.

Something I noticed while gathering references, the map doesn’t sit on any kind of pin board (from what I could see), which means she stuck the pins straight in the carpet

I still find it really funny and so in character for Cait who’s supposed to be bedridden

I won't make a habit of posting rough sketches here, but I don't think i'll have time to finish this one for a while. So here's a very rough sketch I did, I had the idea as I was about to go to sleep so I had to buckle up and draw it before I forgot.

#caitvi #vi arcane #arcane caitlyn #arcane fanart #arcane #arcane netflix #it's very rough - this is how all my drawings start - I know the details aren't accurate i'm sorry!!

Your first parent, a lesson in wanting and being wanted. You were never quite what they wanted you to be. You'll spend the rest of your life proving you are worth being loved.

The second is a lesson in expectations. This one was supposed to be better, they were supposed to be worse. Did they make you feel wanted? Does loving them feel like betraying the first?

...and the third, the older sibling filling a role. Sibling-to-sibling, a closed system. How tragic neither one will get what they want.

There is never enough time.

I never notice the warriors carved into the wall underneath Mel’s window; there is just always something new to see in this insanely detailed show.

I also love how the design of the masks could be a reference to Noxus or to the Solari (based on the character design of the champion Pantheon). Which works with what we know of Mel and her background (she is Noxian) and many fans suspect (her father is from Targon or is connected the Solari). 

Or it’s both cultures. If her dad is Solari, Mel could be combining two elements from her parents and their heritages or simply using similar imagery they both have in how she presents her home (an extension of herself).

Which makes sense, as Mel has the Medarda family crest in her father’s gold coloring (allegedly) right there above the carved warriors, which matches her gold crest ring.

Our DM: Spends two hours openly despairing at our party, despite being very willing to press big red buttons and generally cooperative when it comes to plot hooks, blithely missing like seven sidequests on our way into Barovia, Barovia because the module is constructed in such a way that it's less "well why would my character pick up this plot hook" and more "oh shit that was a plot hook??? But why?? It just seemed like environmental storytelling illustrating that the area is dangerous, what was it even trying to get us to DO"

Me: [rubbing my hands, delighted] Well I don't know about YOU guys but Atri accomplished almost everything she wanted to do in the Death House, well done team hit the showers.

#d&d #strahd campaign #listen this isn't us being risk-averse players #the module openly penalizes exploring the house in detail #and the intended plot hook really does come across as like #put it this way #our party full on thought we'd wandered into an endless arcane maze that would kill us via exhaustion if we stepped off the road #IT WAS A PUZZLE AND WE SOLVED IT

[haemosexuality]

small brain: the scene where jayce gets it on w mel and the scene where sky asks viktor out and he refuses are paralleled to show that jayce has decided to focus on politics (mel) and neglect his partnership with viktor, while viktor continues to focus on science and experimentation (as well as poiting out viktors growing isolation from those around him).

big brain: the scene where jayce gets it on w mel and the scene where sky asks viktor out and he refuses are paralleled to show that viktor is not interested in women and is gay. and in love with jayce.

#not a jayvik truther or a jayvik hater but a secret third thing (i think viktor absolutely was in love with jayce but it wasnt reciprocated) #jayce said ''youre like a brother to me viktor :)'' and it kickstarted viktors villain arc #arcane #jayvik #jayce talis #wait does viktor have a last name #i googled it and he doesnt seem to have one no. only topsiders get to have surnames and hes a zaunite so he doesnt!!!!!! #i love the details in this show!!! #ive been rewatching it+watching a lot of reactions and analysis on youtube and i cant stop noticing how scenes parallel each other #every scene is a fucking parallel to another one!!! every phrase!!!! im going insane!!! this show is so fucking good!!!!! #i forgot to tag viktor #viktor arcane #i phrased the post as a joke but i truly believe this is part of his character. like an important part that helps drive him over the edge #a bit #idk if its what all the writers and animators intended but its how i see it #im rlly fascinated w viktors character after finding out what hes like in the game im so excited to see what hes gonna be like in s2

Hey Arcane Fandom!

It’s been an amazing year on Tumblr celebrating our love of this incredible show with each other through art, writing, and general unhinged simping insanity. It has been a joy and a privilege to spend this past year surrounded by so many wonderful and gifted people; drooling over art, crying or laughing or dying of thirst at each new fic, and celebrating together as we watched this masterpiece of a show deservedly win award after award.

As we remember the past months fondly and look ahead to simping our way into the future, we would like to offer everyone the chance to celebrate each month of the new year alongside our very favorite ratman. Thirteen of the most talented artists and twelve of the most incredible writers the Silco fandom has the privilege to call its own have all joined together to create a 2023 SILCO CALENDAR.

This was a labor of love and friendship made by and dedicated to the people who make this fandom the joyful home of unhinged fun we have built together. This Monday it will be available for FREE digital download for anyone who wants it! You can use the template to print a physical copy or just enjoy it as is, with twelve months of The Eye of Zaun keeping watch over your every sinful misdeed and encouraging each one.

Edit: HERE IT IS!!

#ok teasing is over #or edging as Vas insists we’ve been doing #silco #arcane #Silco 2023 calendar #fandom gift #you’ll have to wait till Monday to see the whole thing though #details and artist credits then

every day i become more convinced letty fetishised ramy bc tell me why i just found out that the royal pavilion is in brighton which is WHERE LETTY'S FROM

btw the royal pavilion looks like THIS

rf kuang REALLY chose her details right bc letty could've been from anywhere in england but no she was like let me pick brighton where a prominent example of orientalism architecture was built

#im gonna shoot myself in the head /j #ramiz rafi mirza #letitia price #babel rf kuang #generally rf kuang amazes me with how much shit she packs into the little details #and you mean to tell me she isn't a good writer like the classics writers are. LMAO OKAY #also the interior of the royal pavilion are heavily inspired by chinese aesthetics. i could be making a metaphor out of this what am i doin #babel an arcane history #babel or the necessity of violence
