C'mon Guys. The Emotional Devastation Of Season 2 Of Arcane Won't Be About Death. Instead, We'll Watch

C'mon guys. The emotional devastation of season 2 of Arcane won't be about death. Instead, we'll watch Vi and Jinx become undeniably, certifiably estranged from one another.

Bonus points if it happen by Vi nearly killing Jinx in an attempt to end the bloodshed that was just as misguided as Vander's was with Silco. *ka-chow*

random thoughts after listening to self-titled all the way through in prep fpr ttpd:

1. Tim McGraw - the emotional punch of that’s a lie to close out the song. ugh the storytelling in her first track on her first album. ridiculous talent

2. Picture to Burn - watch me strike a match on all my wasted time is a lovely little line. the visual imagery and clever twist on an ordinary phrase that taylor is so famous for is already visible through the first two songs. as are the useless boys

3. Teardrops on my Guitar - he’s the time taken up but there’s never enough

4. A Place in the World - baby YOYOK! so as the no. 1 YOYOK stan, how can i not like her? i’m alone…i’ll be strong, i’ll be wrong…and i’m wearing my heart on my sleeve. oh taylor

5. Cold as You - just a great track. so i start a fight ‘cause i need to feel something and you do what you want ‘cause i’m not what you wanted. the sharpness of this observation and her knowledge of self! and ofc mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you

6. The Outside - god what a taylor song. starts with i went looking for a reason. themes of lonliness and not belonging. theme of being a perfectionist nothing seems to work the first few times….so how can i try to be better? theme of i would give it all up to be a part of this, a part of you (you now believe different though, i think. own it, darling one). so many ideas that you can trace through her whole discography

7. Tied Together with a Smile - giving away love like it’s extra change. hoping it will end up in his pocket but he leaves you out like a penny in the rain cause it’s not his price to pay. stop it taylor. you are just too damned good at this. and then you have the main character being likened to a package tied together with a smile but it’s coming undone

8. Stay Beautiful - she is so loving and sweet in this. a little ditty

9. Should’ve Said No - the OG betty! we have all the characters and the begging but she doesn’t end up with james! baby taylor was so much smarter. self-titled has so many fun angry sing-a-longs

10. Mary’s song - just classic taylor-storytelling. so many vignettes in less than 3 minutes! my favourite? take me back to the creek beds we turned up. 2a.m., riding in your truck. simple but there is such a feeling of freedom and summer in it

11. Our Song - banger! the video! it ends with i grabbed a pen and an old napkin and i wrote down our song. SAY IT, TAYLOR

12. I’m Only Me When I’m With You - the theme of i’m only up when you are not down. don’t wanna fly if you’re still on the ground and how it connects to ttpd. also sometimes we don’t say a thing, the other half [of the time] i’m only trying to let you know that what i feel is true, i’m only me when i’m with you, through it all nobody gets me like you do. even you know everything about me and maybe you say that you can’t live without me are all themes that connect to ttpd

13. Invisible- baby YBWM! baby taylor pleading let me love you, let me want you

14. A Perfectly Good Heart - why would you wanna make the very first scar?

the way she changes her delivery and tonality through the album to serve emotion and storytelling is so classically taylor

WIP Wednesday - Pressure Cooker

Caitlyn and Vi are having a very important discussion about where the money will go when an ear-splitting rendition of Mask Off on a plastic recorder comes blaring from Vi's pocket. Both women flinch but Vi makes no move to answer her phone, just waits a second and the call disconnects. "Sorry, I broke Sugar's favorite lipstick." She says like it's an explanation. "Pardon?" Caitlyn asks, thinking she misheard as she was just deafened by the sonar attack. "Coral blue #5," Both women wince as Vi's phone rings again. "Apparently it was very expensive." Vi snatches her phone out of her pocket and answers. "Look I'm sorry, okay? I'll buy you a new one." Jinx's voice blares out of the speaker. "You're broke ass couldn't afford it!" Then she hangs up. And then calls again.

i have not stopped laughing at this

You look like Stevie Nicks

In ‘75 the hair and the lips

Crowd goes wild at her fingertips

half moonshine a full eclipse

no clue what causes pcos. no clue what causes endometriosis. 2 year waiting lists to see a gynecologist. you'd think female bodies only started existing 50 years ago
