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.
Tumblr media
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.

In the scene where Viktor and Jayce are breaking in Heimerdingers office and Mel catches them, Viktor does thinking face and says:
"Is this not my bedroom?"
Like, Viktors first excuse was "Oh, I am an idiot, I am actually bringing this handsome man into my bedroom." And he didn't even think about it. His reaction was, I am not doing crime, I am just gay.
And it's hilarious.

i need people to understand how much the guns for hire scene lives rent free in my head because it’s just SO PERFECT??? let me list a few things about it that i love
•the way the music immediately kicks off when jinx lights the flare
•how it cuts from vi and silco, except vi has caitlyn helping her while silco lashes out at his underling
•silco’s blind rage. he’s pissed off because he couldn’t take care of vi, and because of that, he has the risk of losing jinx, which I would say is one of his biggest fears. the way he stumbles back after throwing his underling aside, then just screaming, to stomping the shit out of him is really telling when you have a character who is usually so composed. i think the writers did really well
•the angle when vi and caitlyn are running. i just think it looks neat. ALSO how vi looks back to check on caitlyn!!!
•vi and caitlyn sliding down the tunnel like how the enforcers are loading their guns
•the camera panning around jinx to show mylo and claggor. mylo’s always been the voice i’ve been able to pick out when she starts to break down. he’s frozen in a scream, while claggor is standing stoically
•when vi looks up to see the flare and we can see her begin to connect the dots
•the enforcers blocking the way back to piltover. i just like how tense it makes me feel and the lighting of that part
the whole scene is just great at getting you on edge. it shows you all these quick moments from the characters and they all build off each other. you understand exactly what they’re feeling and WHY they’re feeling that and the music just adds to all of it. it had me on the edge of my seat because WOW it’s just incredible all the way up to the end, literally one of my favorite scenes in the show

My favorite scene in Arcane S1 is when Dimitri helps Jayce fix the Hexgate and Jayce gets inexplicably mad at him because it's his and Viktor's lives' work.

We're looking for feedback from other Arcane fans to see who might be interested in participating in an Arcane Big Bang. If you're not familiar with the concepts of a Big Bang, it's a collection of work (fanfics, fanart, fanvids, manips, etc.) which are posted to AO3 and all released around the same time to provide a big bang of content for the fandom. If this idea interests you, please, fill out the form so we can hear from you. This is not ship specific.

More in Common
Chapter 4: Snowfall word count: 1.3k
Viktor makes sure his scarf is wrapped tight enough to keep the cold winter chill off his neck before meeting you outside his dorm. You have a sturdy basket hooked in your elbow and a list in your hand, you greet him with a smile and get on your way to the dockside markets. Viktor keeps a steady pace next to you, the sound of his cane tapping with every step. The sky outside is full of gray clouds that are heavy with snow. The winds are a biting kind of cold that Viktor knows will sink into his bones and ache later.
He glances over at you, trying to get some sort of read on what you may have been thinking. Your overly friendly actions during breakfast did not go unnoticed. Viktor was no stranger to being flirted with, however it generally came from women who—while kind and attractive—he had no real interest in. This unfortunately also came with some scathing rumors that he saw himself too smart to court anyone, or that he was lacking in some departments, both wildly untrue but Viktor let the people think whatever they wished. It didn't affect him. 
However your behavior did. There was something in the way you carried yourself this morning that kept him distracted. An air of confidence that reflected in how you spoke and even how you practically fed him. Viktor could feel his cheeks flush, but not from the cold. Perhaps he should ask? Would that make you stop? It probably would. Maybe a few more meals spent with you hanging around so close wouldn't be so bad. Giving him the attention he wished he didn't crave. He tries to recall the feeling of your gloved hand on his that he doesn’t notice you have stopped and now calling his name.
“Viktor!”
He trips a little when he stops and looks back at you. You’re standing under the awning of one of the fishermen and inspecting the daily catch. He watches as you dig through some clams and pluck out the larger ones, when you make your purchase Viktor notices your face go from a friendly smile to an uncomfortable grimace. As soon as the proper coin is exchanged you dart off back to him, face still contorted in displeasure.
“Remind me not to go to that stall again…” You glance once more over your shoulder and shudder.
“Were they rude?” Viktor places a hand on your shoulder.
“In a way,” You adjust your coat and keep moving, “He used an…unappreciated name.”
Viktor is not quite sure what you mean by that but doesn’t say anything, instead opting to fall back into step with you. The both of you make a few more stops, for fruit, milk, flour, sugar, butter, spices, vegetables, an array of ingredients that looked more than enough to last a week. Conversation between the two of you is light, with no real interesting topics to follow. So you’ve worked for the Kiramman’s for how long? Oh, Jayce said you were from the Undercity, my mother was from there. You rescued a frog once, and tried to keep it? Jayce says you’re a fan of sweets, what kind? By now flurries have started to fall from the clouds and Viktor is beginning to lag behind, his knee starting to ache. You notice his gait becoming uneven and his eyes screw shut in pain. You slow to a stop and motion Viktor to a bench.
“Take a seat, you look pained.”
He nods and almost falls onto the seat with a groan. He rubs his bad leg and sighs.
“I shouldn’t have kept us out this long, I’m sorry.” You look down at your feet.
“Not at all! I should have paid more attention to my body.” Viktor sighs, a cloud of vapor puffs from his lips. 
“Well I have the necessities, I can get the rest of my things tomorrow. Can you make it to the trolley station?”
He nods, “I think I can.”
You help him to his feet and wrap an arm around the back of his waist, shifting his weight off of his bad leg. Viktor adjusts a little then leans into you, trying to ignore the rising heat in his face. Only one other person had shown him this type of kindness before, the type of kindness that made Viktor’s heart race, that could dig up emotions he had thought he buried long ago. You slowly lead the both of you through the increasing snowfall and towards the station. A few passerbys give you odd looks but you ignore the stares and wait for the trolley to arrive. 
It isn’t long before the two of you are seated and on the way back towards the academy.
======
Viktor doesn't dare return to his lab once the two of you get back, his leg is sore and the joints have started to pop and crack when he bends his knee too far. Instead he opts for the library where he knows there is a giant hearth and plush chairs to settle into with a good book. He wants to invite you, but knows you mentioned making lunch and does not want to keep you.
There are a few other students hanging around, most likely because the warmth of the library drew them in as well, reading or having quiet conversations with colleagues. Viktor settles into a chair and picks up a book someone forgot to put back, a collection of short fictional stories. Not something he would usually read, but it seemed light enough to allow him to relax.  He turns to the first story and begins reading.
As Viktor works his way through the stories his eyes become heavier and the words blur into one another. The soft pattering of snow on the window and the warmth of the fire finally seeping into his bones has Viktor sink into the plush chair a little more and succumb to sleep. 
His slumber is peaceful and dreamless, only to be awoken by you gently shaking his shoulder.
"Viktor, it's dinner time." You say just above a whisper. He looks at the clock above the library doors and it does indeed read 5pm, “I made some chowder if you would like to join me for some.” You offer a hand for him to help himself up with and when your palms touch you feel your heart flutter in your chest again.
Stop that, you scold yourself. 
Dinner follows in a very similar fashion to how you served breakfast. You hold out a spoonful of clam chowder for Viktor to test and watch how his lips curl around the spoon and then into a smile when he compliments your cooking. Instead of striking up conversation though, you had discovered Jayce’s gramophone-- a gift he had bought himself when he got accepted to the academy if you recall-- and dug up one of the records. It was a sort of jazzy tune, not too fast and exciting, but also not slow enough to be bluesy. You allow yourself to get lost in the music for a moment, remembering a simpler time, way back before you ever had to worry about the future. 
Once everything wraps up and the dishes are soaking in the sink, Viktor bids you farewell and says that he’s going back to the lab for another few hours to go over some calculations and that he’ll see you tomorrow. You smile and wave him goodbye before shutting the door and returning to the dishes. The music still plays through the dorm and once again your mind wanders, this time to a better time. One where your mother gets to meet the wonderful people you work for, where you have a small studio in the upper levels of the Undercity where you build models to be constructed, one where perhaps you get to share this life with another. 
Oh what a dream.

Arcane | TV Show Review

As Expected, I Loved It
Arcane took me by great surprise. I remember thinking (when the trailer first dropped), I will most definitely enjoy the animation and soundtrack. I am usually a 2D or stop-motion animation kind of gal but the graphics for Arcane was just drop dead gorgeous. And that soundtrack was magnificent.
Tumblr media
Prior to watching the TV show, I had no expectation for what this show might provide because I might have heard of League of Legends but that's pretty much the only thing I know – the name of the game. However, upon watching Arcane, I realised despite having so much new information to pick up and absorb, it's really not that hard to do so. I genuinely enjoyed all nine episodes in spite of being constantly stuck in the introduction phase. And really, that is the only problem I have with this TV show, that the entire season was basically the introduction – I say this with no malice intention at all. Coming from someone with zero knowledge, Arcane Season 1 really is a long introduction to the main characters of the show. Though I call it a problem, I fully accept it because now I (think, I) know what I will be getting myself into for the - hopefully - subsequent seasons.
Rating: ★★★★☆

So... just finished Arcane Season 1...
Any Jinx stans kicking about in the tags?
Seriously, if I had a nickel for every blue-haired female character that worked my heart over through her incredible trauma... I’d have about four nickels. Which is only a bit more than expected yet surprising that it happened that much.
Netflix, piece of advice. Do NOT cancel this series if you hope to maintain any subscribers period.
