I hate that I live on the other side of the world. I’d love to try them all.

Should have left it that way

not the first time they're in a romantic bundle anyway, in 2022 jayvik was in a valentines day promo with all canon ships lol

Naph and Ama playing together

Oh man, finally we found someone who knows the science here
Bless you

Let’s not forget everything they do in the lab is EQUATIONS
I literally started to use “calculations” instead cause it had become too much of a fandom meme XD

Also, I feel like sometimes people get mad if things are not perfect. But like, there’s a spectrum of possibilities between perfect and bad. An imperfect show can still be good/ok, even if ti was not everything you expected it to be.

So real, having your group chat of fandom friends is so precious

Yeah, or even just saying “you know what? This scene here was FUCKING GOOD”, “this song is a banger”, etc
I swear you are allowed to think stuff is good

Which is kinda normal for every visual media like you said. Movies are made by direction, photography, acting, costumes etc. it’s not just a script.

Mood. I want to go back to the days where everyone was full of love for the thing
Now it’s either shitting on the source material or fans shitting on each other (which was sadly always kind of a fandom thing)

I meant to write 70%, but at times I guess it is 90% visual storytelling XD

Maybe that’s how they have fun idk. Good for them I guess.

So real, Arcane was always at least a good 90% visual storytelling. very little is exposed in actual dialogue, actually, and a lot is left up to interpretation

Totally agree. I think there needs to be critical thinking but there comes a point where it looks like people are just hindering their own enjoyment of media on purpose. I’ve seen people nitpick even on the sentence structure of song lyrics. It‘s borderline masochistic.

Maybe it’s just me being weird but I would not spend hours of my time making content for a show if I thought it was waful

Was it flawed? Yes. But I also remember how EVERYONE was enjoying it when it first aired. I don’t think it’s fair to say something is shit because it did not hold under months of ruthless scrutiny and being picked apart in every tiny detail.

I feel like fandoms can be disheartening bcs you’re looking for a space for people who love The Thing™️ but you actually end up surrounded by people who either hate The Thing™️ or don’t seem to have understood it. And they kinda make feel stupid for liking The Thing we’re actively making fanwork of

*nods*
We all need to do our part
