I Know I'm Just Adding To The Controversy And We Should Just Leave Madeline Pendleton In The Past.

And another thing, she basically doomed him to live a fraction of the trauma she lived for years. He had to see her pretty often, so he'd be reliving the trauma just like she had to since she was a child. And honestly I'm glad she did because fuck the old emperor omfg.

If I ever see another person saying Anshi loved the late Emperor I'm gonna throw hands

Yes, she pitied him because of how controlling his mother was and yes, maybe she had a few happy memories with him

But she was 9/10 when he first raped her. She spent decades being abused by this man with no means to leave him besides killing herself.

She was groomed and abused for years.

When she was older and saw him expressing interest in yet another young girl, she acted out in anger and built up resentment. She raped and mocked him as she did so. That wasn't an act of jealously, that was her intentionally traumatizing him more.

Shout out to the baddies with their nips pierced, yall look so fucking cool and id love to have them done too but I'm terrified of the pain.

ARCANE ACT 3 SPOILER WARNING

I haven't seen any talk about Mel so let's give my girl justice because I have loved her since I first saw her character 3 years ago.

I was always curious to see what they would do with Mel's character and I love that they did her justice. She spent most of season 1 struggling with her identity as a Medarda and feeling like an imposter

Ambessa always wanted Mel to be a strong Medarda (aka herself). Meanwhile she is the literal strongest one out of all them. She not only has the cunning needed to gain power but she has the strength too. I haven't seen her fight so I'm assuming she was mainly politically trained however in a tough situation we see her do what needs to be done and adapt. I think it's interesting how similar Mel is to Ambessa however Mel was not as a ruthless in her quest for power as her. I don't mean ruthless in the typical sense we saw what she did to Maddie without a second thought (I cheered when she did that) Ambessa was willing to do ANYTHING to protect Mel. She sent Mel away, she tried changing a city in order to fight the black rose. She even sacrificed her son to protect Mel (still a bit confused on what happened there) Basically Ambessa is willing to do whatever it takes to get what she wants, sparing no one. Mel however is not, her empathy is her greatest strength and that's what makes her a true warrior. It's one thing to win battles. It's another to know when to fight and when to stop.

I feel like I yapped a lot of nonsense here I can't lie

People who say Lestat and Daniel are gonna make out are ignoring one very important detail: The sacred girl code between Louis and Daniel.

APOTHECARY DIARIES MY POOKIES MAOMAO AND JINSHI AND PINK HAIRED CONCUBINE OMFGGGGG

I'm so glad the Diddy trial isn't being publicised because the way some people are sensationalising it and making it seem like celebrity gossip is wild. That man is sick and treating it like gossip only helps the cycle by not taking people's trauma seriously. Also, I'm sick of people victim blaming his victims and defending him. Do you all want a cookie for supporting a sick and twisted man?

There's something kinda weirdly sweet about how movie Fiyero, after like 5 seconds of shock at Elphaba being green is like, "oh, well she's pretty," and then continues to try and seduce her.

Like my boy might still be a player at this stage but he's no racist.

Arcane act 3 spoilers

"Vi is to blame for everything, in the other universe we see Jinx is happy. Jinx wouldn't have sacrificed herself if Vi had just hurried up and left Vander"

Yall didn't watch the damn show and we can see that. If you genuinely believe that you are like those idiots who say books aren't political and switch your mind off when reading. NOT EVERYTHING IS SURFACE LEVEL. SOMETIMES THE CURTAIN IS FUCKING BLUE BECAUSE THE AUTHOR WANTED TO CONVEY THAT THE CHARACTER IS CALM OR SAD OR WTV.

The whole entire reason we are shown Vi happy with caitlyn in our arcane universe. And Vi dead in the other with Powder happy. IS A SIMILAR REASON WHY THEY SHOW US MEL FIGHTING HER MOTHER. Sometimes, sometimes you can love someone with your entire heart, sometimes someone can be your whole entire fucking world and yet they do things that hurt you and you do things that hurt them. Unfortunately the only way you two can be happy simultaneously is being seperate. You guys have complicated relationships with family maybe your mother or father I'm sure USE THAT KNOWLEDGE AND MAYBE THINK oh hey it's a similar situation for these two sisters. VI WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON HER SISTER. JINX HAD TO WALK AWAY. ITS NOT VIS FAULT THEY WOULDN'T BE HAPPY TOGETHER ITS THE SAD TRUTH. It's similar to jayce and Viktor. They were unhappy apart.

ALSO ever think that maybe Vi didn't leave Vander right there and then IS BECAUSE SHE WAS RELIVING THE EXPLOSION AND WATCHING VANDER DIE RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER AT 14? I mean it's obvious too we literally see her having flashbacks. That man raised her of course she will have trouble leaving him.

Please stop blaming Vi for shit that you can't understand because you only pay attention to the top of the iceberg and not the rest of the iceberg below the depths.

No bc the only way I survived not having any arcane content for the last 3 years was forcing myself to forget the show existed. Genuinely even though it's one of my favourite shows.
