Martyrs and Monsters (feat. The Wife) | Arcane 2x06 reaction + first time watching

[@ghost-ho2ct]

happiness is not allowed to last for more than 10 minutes here man 💔💔💔

[@MichaelEvans-i2r]

2:08: "I'm not ready to have Vander jus be here." Well then, the show's got some good news for you, LOL!

[@hunt_er92]

As much as this show hurts us, we are so lucky to be alive when art (in every sense) like this is being created. Incredible.

The fact that Viktor let Jayce keep his hammer... he could've taken it away, there are no weapons allowed, after all, but he trusted Jayce. Even after Salo, Viktor trusted Jayce.

[@kingsofpeachesandplums]

The delusions under which I’ve been living the past week are that this is all going to work itself out when Jayce’s time travelling ass goes back in time and fixes everything!! The beginning of the episode with the cog spinning and the end with the cog immediately falling points to time-fuckery being possible and Jayce having killed Viktor before, thus the cog falling from his hands differently. Moreover, there is a moment where Jayce is wielding his hammer, ready to shoot Viktor, and we can see kaleidoscopic versions of him standing there, dresses differently. I’m just so not ready to say goodbye to Isha and Viktor! I need this theory to be correct! 😩

See I could tell that Isha was going to die in a tragic poetic-Powder-echo kind of way, but I didn't know it would be a knowing and willing sacrifice on her part. That Jinx would look on in horror and horrible familiarity at what Isha is doing and she'd have tears in her eyes even while she smiled so proud and happy to die to save someone who she idolizes and loves in the most uncomplicated way anyone has loved Jinx in years. And I don't know what this is going to do to Jinx after this because Isha was the one who pulled her OUT of her "Everyone who gets close to me dies" spiral! And she kept Jinx grounded enough and gave enough of an external example of care that she was able to reconnect enough with Vi to work together to save Vander and see a future together! AND she was the driving force in uniting people in Zaun under Jinx's image and the motivating factor for Jinx saving them from prison. AND! What I said before about how she helped Jinx process just a little of her feelings about her younger self and Silco. She did so much for her and now she's gone in the worst reminder of her past mistakes, and if Jinx so much as manages to successfully eat a sandwich after this I'll consider her the strongest person alive because personally this would be it for me. This is all I can do to cheer myself up -> Caitlyn: Now remember to spit on my face so I can wipe it off slow while making unblinking eye-contact with you. Trust me it's vital for our cover. "If you have Hexcore Jesus..." "Right? Then don't you need Hexcore Satan?"

Show is raising my blood pressure, which is a miracle because I have dangerously low blood pressure

[@peerlesscucumber9522]

literally left me starfishing on my bed with tears running down my face staring at ceiling for like an hour

[@jxtnoe]

No see like I'm lesbanese but everytime viktor graces my screen i switch sides there for a minute

[@DoranGale]

The rose, “step into the light”, trying to turn the talking beast back into a man… Tale as old as time (good v evil and love/romance) Tune as old as song (war and rebellion) Bittersweet and strange (Vi, Powder/Jinx, and Vander reconnecting + Isha) Finding you can change (Jayce’s/Viktor’s feelings about the arcane) Learning you were wrong (everyone who thought that bit of happiness would last)

[@wtimmins]

End of Act II I had a massive headache from crying. That's... possibly a first for me. (I cry all the time at emotional shows, but THIS MUCH??)

[@AmandaBee]

I was distraught for like three hours after this ep

[@Gaywatch]

I had to go out on our back porch and just exist for a while...which I didn't even realize on the moment was exactly what I had to do the first time this happened (and the only two times a story has ever made me physically leave my house).

[@0l._.l0895]

I saw someone on tiktok say that they hope that Ekko went back in time with the Hexcore and is fixing everything so I am going to be in denial and believe that until the day that I die. Also Vander and Vi remind me of Simon and Marceline from Adventure time.

[@mxrdersimulator]

viktor is my favourite character and isha reminds me so much of my irl little sister that it's genuinely uncanny. so needless to say i was very normal and sane and fine after this episode :"]]]

[@BGTitanAvatar]

End of Arcane Act: *Ends in Tragedy* Us: *Surprised Pikachu Face* We all knew it was coming but it still freakin hurt. Jinx just isn’t allowed to have nice things. Poor Maddie. She spent months trying to get Cait away from Ambessa and then Vi shows up and does it in two seconds. Cait really folded when Vi called her Cupcake. In all seriousness though, I think they’ve done a decent job at showing that Cait never fully trusted Ambessa. But I still need the actual talk between her and Vi because, well, Cait really really screwed up. Also, I’m just gonna say it, every time Cait’s in the cape I cannot take her seriously. I love my girl but she really just looks like a vampire. It also just looks too big on her (which I’m inclined to think was intentional).

[@foreveranonymous7]

If you have the volume up loud enough at the end, you can hear me basically trying to quietly sob....so that's fun. Britt and I went out on the porch and just stared at trees for awhile. It was crazy. Looking forward to doing it again today 🤣😭

[@ShyyGaladriel]

Here’s a thing, Isha means “protector”, while Felisha is a derivative from Felix which is “successful”.
