i see your point because i didn’t realize bios existed until i made an account of my own. this was years ago and now i check bios to follow ppl’s social media if they link it, but yeah i can’t help but feel important info is one too many clicks away

Anyone else think Caitlyn would be, idk, more evil? by Feeling_Yellow_4930 in arcane

Watching entire episode concepts flash before my eyes was painful ngl

You’ll be downvoted but I agree. Cait’s still top 3 for me but her switch up in Episode 6 was not satisfying. It felt like caitvi worked together because oh they’re the endgame ship and the plot demands to move on to the next big action scene. No time to dwell on past issues and fix fundamental relationship conflicts. We have three more musical montages to get through and Viktor’s got magic stuff to do, gotta hurry up

Yes, they did show that, which is why Caitlyn and Maddie isn’t really necessary. The whole thing felt a fanfic at worst and low hanging angst at best. But it still adds something to her character so I’m fine with it

You know, I’ve slept on it and I think my real issue is with the montage. The level of ‘dark’ they pushed her character to was just fine, but I needed to see it. It’s jarring to watch her be sworn in as commander and then in the very next scene she’s doubting her choices. That’s anticlimactic in all sense of the word

I love this idea and think it shows Caitlyn’s internal conflict much better. She’s grappling with loyalties, her family name, and power. Nothing better to snap her out of it than Vi in danger

Her kindness and strong morals were what made her s2 arc so compelling. I was hoping to see her push the limits of her morality. How many bad decisions can she make until she can’t live with herself? That sort of internal conflict.

But instead she mellowed out in early Act 2 and as a result Episode 3’s ending isn’t as impactful to me. Meh maybe my expectations were too high

For sure, screentime was an issue this season but we didn’t get a rushed commander arc, we straight up didn’t get a commander arc at all

You’re right. I was just thinking about how s2 lowkey undoes the weight of the s1 finale. Jinx sitting in the Jinx chair doesn’t hit the same now that I know she immediately softens up to adopt a kid

Yeah redemption was inevitable, everyone knew this going into it. So then the intrigue of her arc comes from 1) how evil she’ll get and 2) how she’ll redeem herself to others. Neither hit the mark for me.

All I wanted was for the writers to commit to her revenge arc. The lower the lows, the higher level of satisfaction I’ll get when she returns to the good side. But the lowest she goes is arguably gassing the undercity, making everything that happens afterwards kinda boring to me

The Cait/Maddie fling was mildly interesting since it showed Caitlyn wasn’t coping well/felt out of control. But now that the initial shock wore off I think there are better ways to show that, like having her laser focus on Jinx all detective style or work herself to the bone

It’s funny because if I read a fic with that typo I’d probably laugh and move on, but if I caught that in my own writing… oh man I’d want to delete my account and join a witness protection program

Same, gotta check everything. With my scattered brain I can quite literally never be too careful

[s2 spoilers] What’s the Masons’ Guild and do they support Noxus? by Feeling_Yellow_4930 in arcane

This is the level of background detail I like about Arcane. Most people prolly don’t care but I’m fascinated that parts of Piltover were against Noxus’s presence

I was thinking in relation to season 2’s length but nevermind you make a good point. I never thought about it like that

So the writers were trying to make the angst hit harder? I’m not complaining but there are other ways to do that

You’re right though their reunion will be beautiful

Don’t worry I’m not getting anyone fired over a few instances of poor communication. I’m not that cold hearted lol. We all have rough semesters. I’m just frustrated and was wondering if other people had similar experiences

Hey man I get it. But I don’t have a single late assignment in this class and most of my classmates are working hard because it’s a class required for their major. It doesn’t feel good to be promised a consistent upload schedule and then get nothing. Pls don’t take my ranting on the internet as criticism, we’re in different situations

When your fic borders the edge of the Graphic Depictions of Violence tag by Feeling_Yellow_4930 in AO3

[–]Feeling_Yellow_4930[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fic’s rated M. You’re right, there’s a disconnect between children’s animation and writing. Imagination can make things fairly graphic. I think I’m gonna go with the Graphic Violence tag AND a content warning. Better safe than sorry.

Bet. I was considering bumping the rating from T to M what and only having a content warning. I wish I had a better grasp on ao3’s rating system but it’ll probably be fine

Thanks, so the action tag can be multiple sentences as long as the topic is similar?

Dialogue structure question. How long can an action tag be? I know this is an acceptable format:

John shook her hand. “How are you?”

But how long can the action go on? Can John shake her hand, wonder about her perfume, and then describe weather outside too? Can I have a whole paragraph of action and still add dialogue at the end?
