what is the deal with the one vander-coded enforcer
that's what we're supposed to be thinking right lmaooo
i mean i have a lot of questions because i know none of the lore although i have been getting a little bit from another plurk

ambessa is so fuckin
ROARS
Hundreds: MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY
werewolf????
WOAH BRO IS A WHOLE ASS BLOODBORN BOSS
OH NO
I CRY
WHEN HE SAID POWDER
i appreciate that this show just lets people be sloppy
like vi is having the worst time and it's like yeah depression
it do be like that sometimes
how long has he been down there.....
BITCH MITTENS
MORE OMINOUS FORESHADOWING NOW THE KID IS BLEEDING
PLEASE TELL ME THEIR BACKSTORY
ah you got to it lmao
MEMORIES OF SILCO YES??
but now it's the hot siblings
"why does anyone commit acts others deem unspeakable? for love."
HOWLING
OH BUDDY
i am climbing the walls
LMAO MEL
YOUNG VANDER??
WAIT
IS THAT
HIS LIL MAN BUN???
SCREAMING
THE NOISE I MADE
i'm sorry what is this lil throuple y'all got going on i'm obsessed no one told me about this
OMFG THE WAY SHE WAS PREPARED TO SEE SOMETHING HORRIBLE
BUT INSTEAD IT WAS A HUG
WAS IT A DREAM
I CAN'T WITH THIS SHOW
jayce?????
lol what the fuck
HMM
HARD CHOICES
THIS SHOW
i cannot believe league of legends is making me feel these feelings
disgusting
isn't it TERRIBLE?
this was not the silco backstory i was expecting i am suffering you can't tell me these people were happy i always assumed it was just black lung and misery
TELL ME MORE
IT's SO FUCKED UP
SO MUCH UNFINISHED BUSINESS
MEN NEVER COMMUNICATE
men would rather start an underground drug operation than go to therapy
(therapy is a dunk in the river??)
vander: i did communicate i left a note that sat there for 20 years
LMASOLKASJDFASDOIFUJ
im putting this on silco's profile
the dead wife had the only brain cell and she took it to the grave
all i saw
i can only imagine it was like
vander: i told him where to find me
vander, thinking: but what if he doesn't know where to find me?
.
.
.
vander: no, he knows where to find me
vander: i told him where to find me
vander, thinking: but what if he doesn't know where to find me?
.
.
.
vander: no, he knows where to find me
thinking about riot being like
"hey did you like the beautiful and interesting world we only hinted at in arcane? here is that LoL MMO people have been talking about for years"
"hey did you like the beautiful and interesting world we only hinted at in arcane? here is that LoL MMO people have been talking about for years"
also just having a gentle discussion this morning with people who think the vander/silco backstory is unnecessary because "they were neatly wrapped up in S1" like they aren't haunting the narrative lmao
this entire season is about grief
and other things but oh boy it's got so much grief
Jesus yeah like I feel like it's important to highlight the nature of vi and jinx and how letting that schism remain is GOING to come to a head and then the trauma will ripple down
yeah like you cannot come to a satisfying conclusion for either of them if they just leave a big open question about what happened back then
it got passed on to them
Yeah like these are their kids! And the parallels are stark
yes! and like the comments directly from jinx like "things might've been different if he knew" or like
they were complaining that S1 had the whole idea of "we can't go back"
they were complaining that S1 had the whole idea of "we can't go back"
but also this is literally "hey would you consider trying to go back if our dad wasn't dead lol"
WHICH SHE LITERALLY SAYS
MORE OR LESS LOL
THE DO OVER SHE SAID EXPLICITLY
them: arcane doesn't hold your hand
yeah it's true it doesn't like it told us 100% of the themes where is the confusion lmao
yeah it's true it doesn't like it told us 100% of the themes where is the confusion lmao
the complaint i guess is that vander/silco (and warwick?? i am learning names lol) have "mired them in their development" but it's like.... this is the point
they are mired in it because they are not over it yet they are not gonna be over it now or ever that is kind of the point???
they are mired in it because they are not over it yet they are not gonna be over it now or ever that is kind of the point???
they made a comparison to obi-wan
like they are more than mentors this is family lol it is different
especially if you are raised by someone who is also dealing with their own unhealed traumas it is going to have a lasting effect on you like
trying to separate these parts of the story is like missing the point imo lmao
trying to separate these parts of the story is like missing the point imo lmao
Oh I've seen that a lot but I actually quite liked it bc it complicates things. Nobody is a Good Guy, people are fucked up and the entirety of the undercity is a bunch of traumatized, messed up people
ok LET'S GO
oh boy
have fun
have fun
OH NO DID EKKO WAKE UP ON THE GOOD TIMELINE
Hundreds: JILL??? THIS IS SO OMINOUS LMAO
OH NO IT ALREADY HURTS
don't worry about it 
I'll talk to u on the other side 
I LOVE HEIMERDINGER
the jamjar gameness of it all
oh but jayce got sent to the horror game huh
is that silco's lighter???
heimerdinger's little song??? excuse me??? 
oh my GOD what happens at 4 seconds
YELLING
HE'S HERE
AHHH
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
the way NO ONE looked surprised that ekko asked about murder attempts
silco looked more surprised that ekko knew about it??
can u believe
ekko like ???? HIM
vander like lol yes and we're gay married
vander like lol yes and we're gay married
I want u to understand i was watching this ep at midnight last night and this whole sequence going "no, no, no they wouldn't put him in he --"
"re."
OH RIP LOL
i was wondering if he was gonna show up and i howled
10 minutes of wheezing and howling T B Q H
sorry ekko i kissed your cooler doppelganger from a parallel universe and we built a time machine together
i am UPSET about heimerdinger
MEL!!!!!! SHE'S EVEN COOLER NOW
lol ambessa immediately unsure she's into this??
boyfriends FIGHTING i'm insane
mel's aesthetic is THE BEST
and then also really love viktor's space shit
JAYCE????
hot
GIRLS KISSING
oH MY GOD
AMBESSA DAMN
aw bro finally got a name and then he died
omfg MADDIE
omfg amazing
mel!!!!!!
OH HE'S SO FUCKING COOL NOW
omfgggggg
they are dropping a new game or something RIGHT
THEY GOTTA BE THIS IS ??? IT'S GOING SOMEWHERE??? THERE IS STILL A FIGHT?? WHAT FIGHT CAITLYN
GODDAMNIT RIOT AHH THEY GOT ME
you ever see something happen in a plot and just think
wow tumblr is never going to be able to engage with this in a normal way
yeah...
wow tumblr is never going to be able to engage with this in a normal way
yeah...
yeah
THEY STILL DIDN'T TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED LOL
or are they releasing this backstory elsewhere
i know about their brokeback mountain jackets come on!!
THAT'S ALL THEY'RE GIVING US... AFAIK
RUDE
I WANT TO KNOW WHY THEY ENDED UP FIGHTING AHHH
I have my thoughts, I think it's fairly strongly implied that The Whole Thing happened after Felicia and Connol died. Most likely some measure of blame + A division on where to go from there
that makes sense yeah
And that was probably an argument that uh. Yeah
Ended Like That
smh these gay motherfuckers
couldn't talk their problems over
SIMPLY DON'T LEAVE A NOTE FOR 20 YEARS VANDER
DUMMIES
cannot believe in the 11th hour we got to see them happily gay married and also him haunting the narrative (literally)
which if nothing else made me happy for everyone the other day who wanted to claim their role in the story was finished
look im like the happiest hog rn
LMAO
I AM VERY HAPPY
i think someone else complained that like jinx and cait never really talked
i guess like.... until now
what were they gonna say lmao this went about how i expected
i will probably have more thoughts about stuff because i was already rewatching some S1 stuff before because it was things i missed the other times but
possibly unpopular opinion but i am glad they didn't show ekko talk jinx off the ledge because there were too many ways to do it poorly and also like that entire thing was so borderline triggery that i was like SO RELIEVED LOL
"character talking another character out of suicide" is like my one trigger thing lol it's enough to know it happened
yeah i've seen people being like 'why didn't they show that conversation' and they super didn't need to
they went with the right approach
threethirteen: YEAH it matters less what exactly he said and more that it was enough imo
god i am gonna be rewatching this so much...
like i was on tumblr for a bit this morning and there is a lot i didn't notice that i need to see now
it doesn't even matter that i don't know the lore i'm just here for the character shit lmao
it doesn't even matter that i don't know the lore i'm just here for the character shit lmao
god i just keep turning silco's everything over in my head because his whole arc is like !!!! his arc is like one of my favourite kinds of arc lmao
the corruption arc you chose for yourself
he is too Mastermind for me to ever play him but i will think about him
thinking about this a lot lately because a theme i'm playing with a lot rn is when someone is very aware of their capacity for evil (and choosing it) lol lmao
puts my paw on your shoulder
i understand
YEAH
rotate that little twink in your brain i get it
that's me every day
i was watching S1 again to lessen the pain of grinding mobs in skettis because i was shamed by the WoW 20th anniversary and now felt compelled to farm mounts i don't have BUT I DIGRESS LOL I WAS REWATCHING and paying closer attention than i was previously
I UNDERSTAND
his manbun was so much
sighs loudly
I KNOW
REALLY FUNNY SO
i finished my rep grind in less time than it took to watch season 1
and also
i watched the first episode of s2 again
i finished my rep grind in less time than it took to watch season 1
and also
i watched the first episode of s2 again
there's no way they didn't time it on purpose so that silco says "have you had enough?" and then netflix prompts you to continue watching LMAO
THERE IS NO WAY THAT'S NOT INTENTIONAL BUT I JUST WATCHED THE DEATH SCENE YOU CAN'T JUST DO THAT LMAO
RUDE
unsurprising that one of the people who had bad takes earlier also had bad takes again BUT I'M BEING RESPONSIBLE AND GOING TO BED LOL
"well-animated schlock" they called it
like are we watching the same show??
people don't all have to like stuff but lol
how can you feel absolutely nothing
like are we watching the same show??
people don't all have to like stuff but lol
how can you feel absolutely nothing
insane about the sevika versus smeech fight again it's fucking stylish
the one liners
sevika looking at jinx like "really?" because she has to put up with jinx's clown shit
IT'S SO GOOD
The animation was SO FUCKING GOOD I was just eating it up
The way they conveyed characters' emotions with facial expressions and body language alone was just top notch
And god this was a good season for Sevika
YES!!
i know some people are saying she didn't get like enough lines but honestly this show is so good at showing me
animation-wise you can tell they learned things while they made s1 and just went ham
like fluids lmao
the way the grey is so GREASY it's beautiful
the way the grey is so GREASY it's beautiful
someone with LoL knowledge should make a jamjar game heavily based on this setting where everyone wakes up in their AU life like ekko did and then they just have to figure out how to get back home again
i would app tomorrow i would find two brain cells to rub together for that
beautiful cat girl i hope she gets good fan art so i can look respectfully
oh my god the lyrics subtitles on this show are always wildly incorrect
considering the songs have meanings it's kind of important those are correct?? lmao
GASEOUS FIRE?? LMAO
the lyrics here are
Gaseous fire burning out your soul
just when you've done it all
you will turn it all to ashes and blood
the actual lyrics:
Catch the fire burning out your soul
Just make it die or you will turn it all to ashes and blood
???? netflix???
Gaseous fire burning out your soul
just when you've done it all
you will turn it all to ashes and blood

Just make it die or you will turn it all to ashes and blood
???? netflix???
i forgot about salo's millions knives fit
i'm stupid and didn't realise that with the hextech dead jayce's hammer is actually fucking heavy lol
like the first time i saw it hit the ground and figured he broke his leg falling in the hole but poor guy got friendly fired by his own hammer
i like how the little cymbal monkies are like integral to the design
PAIN
AGAIN
they really came for me with this french song too
i just noticed that powder had a bag full of those crystals....
ekko was pulling shards out of the wall with tweezers lmao
god what are they cooking
not me seriously giving thought to learning the lore so i can write in this canon 
did i start a lil fic thing that might never see the light of day but i needed it out of my head
maybe
maybe
like i don't NEED any lore to write this but this is the part of my brain that has to learn everything if i get in deep enough
the only reason i haven't already fallen down this hole is that i would probably be dogshit at LoL so i don't even bother but friends tell me the lore is actually pretty solid....
do what i do
look up relevant lore
shrug at everything else
ah so me playing world of warcraft for 15 years and only looking at elf lore
i truly learned about everything else that happened like
super recently it's really funny
super recently it's really funny
yeah
exactly
reasons i have barely even wrapped my head around whatever jayvik have going on because there's a lot going on there
BUT THESE OLD MEN JUST HAVE PERSONAL ISSUES
i'm obsessed with the AU because of all the things they didn'
tell us lol
all the ways things could've gone!! the conversations that happened to get us here!!
rattling the bars i'm obsessed
a lot of it is the way grief factors into everyone's lives
and how something can happen and then you and the world aren't the same place they were before it happened
which is like lol in my mind lately and then it's like
everyone here is dealing with it!!

places my paw on your shoulder
welcome to my personal hell i am glad u are in it with me now
welcome to my personal hell i am glad u are in it with me now
Hundreds: I SURE AM THANK YOU FOR GETTING ME INTO THIS SHOW I SUFFER WELL LOL
GOOD GOOD
i feel like i could do something with this in an rp way but i have no idea what lol
the feelies just live next door to my hotd feelies because it's nothing but men who would do anything (unless it hurts their family) hours at all times
holds my hand to u
boy don't I know it
boy don't I know it
now you understand why silco was so insane in kenos when he thought jinx was dead :') truly i did the worst thing i could to him
YEAH
IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW
me w/ my blorbos: 
i was thinking about him making the deal with sebastian the other day because it was really funny
since i was talking about the soundtrack in another plurk
the soundtrack i've had on repeat for days...
the soundtrack i've had on repeat for days...
fucking up my spotify wrapped as we speak
it's a toss up if i have listened to ashes and blood enough to take the top spot or if it'll go to something else
but
"our love" is just extra good because it hits this specific like nostalgia vibe of "your parents' music" and it's like
how did you know
how did you know
i like how warwick's song is just like that hard guitar track because together with how they do his rampage scenes FLAWLESS
YEAH IT's SO GOOD
I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE WILLING TO READ ME GUSHING ABOUT THIS SHOW LOL BECAUSE I'LL NEVER STOP
NO IT'S CUTE!!!!!!!!
lol i sure did preorder that ambessa novel...
i've been playing legends of runeterra and also got her deck because it was on special
