Okay so Paul is basically Garnet from SU....
It's actually insane that Silco let people of Zaun create and maintain Vander's statue. Like the whole idea was to depose Vander and his ideas. And yet his rival looks at the streets he controls. Considering how things were and that as we now know Silco has the potential to forgive in him, maybe, he had regrets?
I would love to see Vi getting a little chubbier after the final! And bulkier, of course. I mean, if she was able to become that buff while being malnourished in fucking prison and even buffier running on rage, grief, dissociation and alcohol imagine what a powerhouse she becomes once 2g of protein per kilo becomes an achievable goal

guys. guys. when caitlyn hovered her hand over that bandage on vi’s ribs, she was clearly going to apologize! and vi knew that and accepted the apology before caitlyn said anything out loud — there is so much depth in the body language and facial expressions in this show and i feel like a lot of people are shooting themselves in the foot by not seeing those things as being just as valid here as verbal cues. (or they just want to find something to be mad at?)
Also Cait gently touching not exactly the place where she hit Vi but close enough for a parallel (also them divorcing and growing back together by Vi being punched in a gut) and probably for being sorry for all the hurt she's caused and Vi pulling her closer in "I don't fucking care" and "I know" kinda way....
She wants Caitlyn as she is oh i'm so unwell about them

When I see people talking about the pacing of Arcane season 2 I always get conflicted because it’s so hard for me to tell how it would have been for me to watch season 1 week by week. I remember I only watched after all the episodes were out and I thought everything was so fast paced at first. Like in Oil and Water Caitlyn and Vi are having the most emotional conversation and it cuts to Jinx being tortured by Singed and I felt like I didn’t had enough time to process all that. The infamous “you are hot cupcake” goes straight to Mel and Jayce bonding almost out of the blue, to just seconds later we find out Viktor it’s actually dying. Heimerdinger it’s walking around Zaun just to find a random girl, do some magic, her mom gets her away because a weirdo it’s approaching her daughter, finds Ekko and Ekko just takes him to the most sacred and secret place he knows, his home, bruh Heimerdinger it’s literally the guy who didn’t have a f*ck about Zaun for 200 years.
But in the end, because all episodes were already released, I just moved on to the next and spent the next three years watching it almost non stop. So I’m more curious to see the end of it so I can rewatch it again as a whole 18 episodes story than worrying about the pacing or things I cannot predict. I also think a lot how much of this it’s just the rewatchable factor Arcane do have and it makes people watch the first season so much that now they got all the small details, I don’t know, I’m loving it and I’m looking forward for Act 3
yeah i rewatched s1 to prepare myself for s2 and it was so fast, too. It doesn't really explain itself too. I feel like we got used to a different type of content, like fanfiction, which heavily relies on descriptions and a little hyperbolization of feelings (nothing bad about that, i love it with my whole heart and had spent hundreds of hours on ao3), but Arcane itself is a different kind of media
Don't get me wrong I still want Caitlyn yelled at but i actually love that she didn't have her oh moment, when she realises how wrong she was. It would honestly be a cheap move. Instead, the cloud of her emotions settles and she starts to see what she has done. S1 Cait isn't lost, she still tries to follow the same principles, even being obsessed with Jinx. Grief didn't make a new character out of her but rather challenged her old. She slowly understands that she let herself be used in a rush of a moment and starts to regret it. I'm not justifying her actions but I love her arc, her slow way to some kind of redemption (reminds me of Zuko in some way)
It actually drives me insane how paralleled their stories are: Vander hit (almost killed actually but that's not the point) Silco because the grief blindfolded him and desperately wanted to find him to say he's sorry. Silco viewed Vander as weak for "surrendering" and accused him of betraying their dream, but when he got a daughter and faced all the same problems and the shift of priorities, he understood.
And Jinx thought Vi betrayed her and chose Caitlyn instead of her, and probably understood young Vi's choices a little more when she got Isha.
The only difference is it's not too late for the sisters
