Me Too.. Me Too

I'm sorry but these fuckers are the best characters in Arcane I don't make the rules

Edit: officially adding Ekko

Just wanna let everyone know if I go missing it's because fez died and I left earth

Since the show put this eternal debate about the validity of Joel's decision back on track, I wanted to talk about it and explain why Joel was right. Note that I'm not talking about Joel's reasons so don't tell me "yes, but Joel wasn't thinking about that so...", that's not the issue. The issue is his decision in itself.

Btw, I specify here that I talk about the show but considering its fidelity to the games, my arguments also work concerning them.

So... let's take a look at Ellie. Firstly, she was unconscious at the time. There's just no way to justify that. Marlene or the fans who defend the Fireflies can speculate all they want about what Ellie would have wanted, the truth is that we fucking don't know. We know for sure that she wanted to help produce a cure, but at the time, no one knew that this would require opening her head and killing her.

If Marlene was so sure of what she's claiming here, she would have woken up Ellie to give her the choice. But she didn't because she knows it's bullshit she's saying to convince both Joel and herself.

I'm sure I'll be objected that in TLOU 2, Ellie blamed Joel for preventing her from dying on the operating table and that given the fidelity of the series to the games, this will surely be the case in the next season. Yeah but that's irrelevant too, it's not the same Ellie. In a few years, especially during adolescence, we change a lot.

Then, since we're talking about Ellie's consent, I would like to remind you that regardless of whether she was conscious or not, she's a 14 year old girl. I have the impression that too many people tend to forget that, no one at that age can make the decision to sacrifice their life with full knowledge of what they're giving up and with the maturity to think about it properly. Especially when the 14 year old girl in question is victim of survivor's guilt after having seen several of her close ones die.

For those who have trouble visualizing what I'm saying, I'll make an analogy : If an adult slept with a 14 year old and the latter justified herself to you by saying that she was consenting and that it was her choice, would you find this relevant ? Of course not, because almost everyone knows that there are decisions that children/teenagers can't consent to !

Now that was just about Ellie, but what about the cure ? Because in spite of all the utilitarian debates about whether or not Ellie needs to be killed for the greater good, we're forgetting one essential point : What proves that the Fireflies could have made a cure ? Because whether it's in the games or in the show, there's no real evidence of that. Even the Fireflies don't know anything about it, Marlene and the others directly assume that they will be able to create a vaccine from Ellie's Cordyceps even though they barely had time to do some tests on her while she was unconscious.

Hey you know what ? Even Marlene implicitly admits that they don't know about it : "Our doctor… he thinks that the Cordyceps in Ellie has grown with her since birth (…) He thinks it could be a cure, Joel."

They literally had no plan or certainties, they didn't even take the time to conduct any in-depth study of Ellie, of her blood for example to find a way to produce a vaccine without killing her. They just chose the easiest solution out of impulsivity without worrying for a single minute about the opinion and safety of the concerned one.

Whether it was for the greater good or not, all of Marlene's justifications are based on biased assumptions and intellectual dishonesty. Joel hurt many people and was wrong about a lot of things but certainly not about stopping reckless morons from butchering his 14 year old daughter.

Silco is one of my Favourite character in arcane but ya no he is definitely a villain and I don't defend his actions what I will say though ( because people are always going on about these things )

Silco loved Jinx. It is confirmed and its also like.. obvious.

him defending her from sevika and ( according to sevika ) his entire crew who don't like her and can clearly see she'll be his downfall.

his reaction when he sees she is Hurt. *sobs*

the way he literally gets EVERYTHING HE HAS EVERY WANTED ON A SILVER FUCKING PLATTER and gives it all up because he didn't want to live without her *sobs harder*

Jinx KILLS him and his finally words are calling her perfect. ( he literally is dying. He knows that. There would be no point in lying to her. )

But he was not a good father. Even though I honestly think he believes the things he tells her and isn't actively trying to manipulate her. These are the two quotes that stand out.

eg) everyone betrays us

in fairness everyone he loved HAD betrayed him and from what jinx TELLS him, Vi betrayed her. ( ik Vi didn't actually betray her and it isn't her fault whatsoever. She was a child like ?!?. But it's what jinx believes and its what she TELLS him )

Eg) jinx is perfect

Jinx ( my other favourite character ) is by no means perfect. She's clearly insane and she's a full blown murderer. She is not perfect but she is to SILCO. ( again he is not right for thinking this way but he is clearly not mentally well either ) Silco isn't lying when he says this. He honestly thinks she's perfect.

( We also only see Silco lie to Jinx once. When he tells her Vi is only after the crystal. And that is done because he doesn't want to loose her because he loves her. A shitty thing to do. But nonetheless. )

Silcos goals are understandable. The way he goes about achieving them is not. Wanting the undercity to be free from Piltover is 100% justifiable. Piltover is extremely corrupt and like.. the worst. Its literally like the hunger games. Its just that going out on a murder spree isn't the way to achieve that yk.

( Also I can understand why silco murders vander but still... debatable. )

So ya in conclusion,

Silco is a VILLAIN.

Most of the shit he does is morally evil

However there are some things that people think about him that are just simply not true. I have alot more points but I'm tired.

Thank you for listening to my Ted talk.

Them: Silco was right and didn’t do anything wrong

Silco: *threatens to kill Marcus’ daughter*

Silco: “I would’ve had your son killed for this”

Silco: *sets a trap to murder Vi, Mylo, Claggor, and Powder- who are children*

Silco: *constantly lies to and manipulates Jinx, emotionally hurting her and exacerbating her mental illness*

Silco: *gets half the Undercity addicted to Shimmer for his own benefit*

People really be mad that Eleven didn't get cheated on by Mike with her brother like.... I get people feel queerbaited but there was no way Will x Mike was ever gonna happen. Mike was never gay to begin with. Will obviously has feelings but they aren't reciprocated. He deserves someone but it definitely isn't Mike. And no it's not bad writing. This show was never about byler. Season 4 is literally the best season ever. Fuck shippers tbh like goddamn💀here I am expecting everyone to collectively freak out over how amazing that ending was orchestrated and instead I am just seeing salty byler fans lmaoooo

I don't understand the people saying ethan and lexi are a gonna be a thing. Like the camera only focused on the man in this scene to show he was gonna audition for her play not cause he was into her. He only looks at her bc she walks past him

It shows her look at him in a 'oh he's really good at acting' 'he'd be perfect for this role' kinda way. Not 'I'm in love with him' LMAOOO

And in the chance this is a bad take and im completely wrong. I'm sorry they'd be a shit couple.

In conclusion, fez and lexi. that's it.. that's my conclusion.

And people say they're not in love...

never understand the argument that Fez is like a lot older because nate(of all people) said he dropped out of school at 20 something….are y’all dumb or stupid

Sam Levinson count ur fucking days for making me have to wait two years to find out if Fez died or not. Fuck. You.

That's it.

People shipping Fez/Faye???? Fucking Lexi/Ethan?????? Say sike RIGHT now
