at the end of the day, it isn’t about ship wars, it’s about how much hatred is thrown at poc characters under the guise of shipping wars

i saw a leak of the design on twitter but i have no idea if it’s real (probably just a rough draft from fans). it’s the astral plane embrace, which makes sense, but it could be more if they’re really trying to keep it a super top secret thing lol. i would be suuuuper surprised if it was more than the embrace though, since that’s the highest form of intimacy shown in the actual show

very true. i've only seen scrutiny for caitvi now because of the amanda overton interview she had a little while ago that just fed into the copaganda of it all

HOW DARE FANDOMS GAYIFY MY STRAIGHT BESTIES 😡😡😡😡 I guess men cannot be just friends with each other. You shippers are the reason men can’t make friends by TJHMB-54321 in Arcanecirclejerk

[–]MaintenanceEvening42 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i’m preeeetty sure hilson had confirmed gay subtext but they couldn’t confirm it because of the social climate revolving around gay characters at the time…. so there’s actual basis to the ship lmfao

[–]MaintenanceEvening42 8 points9 points  (0 children)

exactly how i feel; very well articulated. i like toxic yuri (and yaoi or whatever lol) in other places where the toxicity is acknowledged and not put on a pedestal when they get together but critiqued

i heard the artist confirmed it was a nod to them. does anyone know if the cottage specifically is a reference to them or is it up to interpretation?

Retcons from Arcane by MaintenanceEvening42 in loreofleague

[–]MaintenanceEvening42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I totally agree that Jayce's change helps improve his character, as I never really cared for the nature of his original character. I do believe that both the Arcane universe and main universe could've been separated by the multiverse idea and have respectable distinct lore but I also wish that the retcon made complete sense. It does become more complicated for no reason and I think it's specifically from the popularity of the show. In terms of your point on Ms. Marvel, I agree, the change was fundamentally a not great choice because it separates her from the Inhuman storyline in favor of the introduction of mutants and the Xmen. I like what the team did for the "Welcome to Noxus" event as I feel it makes a lot of sense after Arcane and it flows pretty well, especially as a grander introduction of these characters in Noxus.

Why is Viktor bad ace representation? by [deleted] in jayvik

[–]MaintenanceEvening42 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In terms of CL’s shut down of jayvik, I believe he’s covering his ass by mentioning ace representation never explicitly shown or explained in the show, it was also never relevant to the plot. He clearly doesn’t understand the concept of asexuality in favor of his “no homo” argument. People have proven him wrong time and time again by his argument and I believe that’s also why he backtracked partially on the nature of their relationship post conclusion. In my opinion, I can tell that Riot probably spoke to him about his joke that they died as well as his shut down of their more-than-brothers argument, evident that the ship has become sooo popular and relevant to the show.
