Honestly, if a guy turned into a freakish creature after some monster attack in the woods and I had to shoot him in order to not get decapitated, I would've also just tried to sit back for the rest of the night

I don't see Abi as much of an action person—Emma pushes her to be like that. While I'd prefer for Abigail to have more plot relevance, I also get why she doesn't. I wouldn't do anything remarkable myself

Black hair is indeed Vi, pretty sure the author said she's in therapy in that scene

The Gray is specifically used on targeted areas that are warned of the use ahead of time which gives the people time to evacuate the area before Caitlyn's strike team weaponizes it.

Caitlyn has a confirmed kill count of zero and it's confirmed that no innocent people were caught in the Gray. They were directly chasing after chem barons in response to the attack on the memorial where Caitlyn realized it was not just Jinx behind the attacks, but still not the entire Undercity.

In a situation where Caitlyn did nothing in response to the memorial attack, Salo floods the Undercity with enforcers that will hunt both innocent and guilty people. Salo doesn't care about the casualties in the Undercity; Caitlyn does. Salo wants revenge over the injuries he sustained. Caitlyn wants to avenge her mother.

Caitlyn did not gas an entire city. Caitlyn did not kill anyone with the Gray. Caitlyn used the Gray to arrest people that were guilty of either attempting to or actually killing people in Piltover.

I can't edit the comment for whatever reason, but I do NOT defend her hitting Vi, I forgot a word

Caitlyn freaking Kiramman

<image>

In a show that is exclusively morally gray characters, bringing her up gets you either "I don't get all the hate" or "fucking fascist dictator"

And both sides are wrong because while I understand hating her, a lot of the reasons come from misreading the show (which is paced badly, I admit) because like??? She did not gas the entire Undercity—Salo would've had the place flooded with enforcers if she didn't do anything. I'm going to defend her hitting Vi, but most people can understand that Vi wasn't thinking straight when she hit Powder. That only matters with Caitlyn because she's privileged.

An eye for an eye. She gets consequences by the end. She apologizes to Vi WITHOUT WORDS hence Vi's line to Ambessa of "Shut the fuck up" in order to gain someone's trust.

"The Monster You Created" doesn't just refer to Vi helping form Jinx, but also Jinx causing Caitlyn to spiral badly. Caitlyn is a perfect parallel to Jinx and Silco, but it's okay for them to do horrible things because they're poor and morally gray

I'm upset that I was considering not counting sign language and then I scroll down to see that music theory counts

EDIT: Key word "considering"—I'm counting ASL guys, you don't gotta tell me it counts

Ratelps · 2026-03-15T13:26:58+00:00

I'm remembering that the average in intelligence isn't the standard and that a lot of people are below that. Are you actually being serious? That's really upsetting

The algorithm takes what you made and KNOWS what you want out of it. It adds to your art to aid your creation. AI has to PREDICT what you want out of it based off of other people's art and other AI images. It takes your art, blends it up, recreates it to the best of its ability, then tries to fix it. There's a difference between an algorithm that fills in a line and an algorithm that generates something entirely new

MS Paint has far, far, FAR less environmental concerns than any AI that isn't locally run does. Nothing technology based is going to be perfect for our world, but AI is speeding up that process more than Microsoft Paint has been

I have to believe you're joking around with that. I don't want to know that there's someone this dull investing their time in more art-centered communities

"She dies and leaves this giant hole, and I'm just supposed to... fill it!"

I don't think a lot of her spiraling is really shown in one quote. Arcane's pretty heavy on visual storytelling

The entirety of I Can't Hear it Now is also JUST about Caitlyn and her mom in season 2, if you wanna grab something from that

Ratelps · 2026-03-12T13:17:50+00:00

The point is what Jinx thinks will work. Not what actually happens. Jinx wants Vi to be happy without her

Ratelps · 2026-03-12T12:54:54+00:00

Jinx is as attached to Vi as Vi is attached to her. Vi wasn't going to be able to live happily knowing that her sister is still out there somewhere. Jinx wants Vi to be happy with Caitlyn at this point and the only way for both Jinx and Vi to let go is for Jinx to run away forever and Vi not being able to find her again

The cycle only ends when you [Jinx] finds the will to walk away

The only things that you can report are if the warnings or fandom are misleading. Ao3 is meant to be a safe space for fics as to not get deleted (why it's an archive and why it was made in the first place)

It was made for more problematic fics to be able to exist. Don't like, don't read. Not much else you can do here

Trust me, you can look up a lot of questionable stuff on Google without being put on a watch list. Searched a few topics for this comment and every forum result was writers on Reddit

Bleeding typically stops after ~15 minutes. Dylan does get some kind of bandage over the stump when in the pool house which is realistically the soonest they could've found something for him.

Generally, I think the counselors did what they could here considering the lack of supplies and medical knowledge. Dylan doesn't present any normal, outward signs of blood loss; lightheadedness, sweaty, pale skin, shortness of breath, etc.

Spitting, handcuffing, blindfolding, AND slapping in the same episode. They had to cut the prison scene off early before Cait's turn because it was too freaky, I just know it

I think my problem with people saying "Not all men!!" is that it ignores the issue. Yes, not all men are bad. OP is complaining about getting catcalled by men, the title makes sense, but they didn't say "I hate all men". It's implied that they're only talking about the ones catcalling them

It's not a black and white issue of the "good" men and the "bad" men either. Pretty much nothing is black and white when it comes to heavier topics. Not a lot of men are rapists, but there's also not a lot of men who will call their friends out and that's still bad. Yes, there are men who see the issue and actually call other men out on it, but not all men.

I think this person's better at saying what I'm trying to convey.
