May Your Next Period Be Light And End Quickly

May your next period be light and end quickly

No one's going to talk about how Powder and Viktor share meltdowns down to the most micro expression? Okay

The posing down to the FRAME is almost identical

Both are trying to destroy their respective torments. This hurts.

What's even more devastating is that we have already seen the way Powder met her demise with her bomb... now we just have to see how Viktor meets his with the hexcore...

I love this show but part of loving it is crying over the details like this 😭

ARCANE SEASON 2 POSTER

Imagine Mel does make it through the bombing but they kill her off in the first act like they did Vander.... 🧍🏾‍♀️🧍🏾‍♀️🧍🏾‍♀️🧍🏾‍♀️🧍🏾‍♀️🧍🏾‍♀️

PERSONALLY...

Do I think the poster was photoshoped and put together by someone who does not work at all in fortiche? Yeah, most likely just marketing material for the retailer

BUT they probably got the renders from the *actual* marketing team from either Fortiche or Netflix.

And I think that Viktor is from the * time skip* period. As you pointed out, his hair is mid point between acts 1 and 2. his hand is not hexcorized, and he looks slightly healthier than in act 2.

So I'm thinking that render comes specifically from a flashback segment in season 2

Oooooooo I did not think of that! It could definitely be a flashback. We know there will be a few, cuz I’m pretty sure I saw somewhere that Silco’s VA recorded some lines for S2.

And I actually have a little theory that could fit into this. I kinda feel like maybe Viktor has been smuggling Hextech projects into the Undercity for a while. Like… it probably became clear to him when Jayce became a councilor (if not sooner) that Hextech was being co-opted by the rich, and it was never going to help the people he set out to help. So he started working on smaller projects (water filters, air purifiers, things of that nature) and sneaking them into Zaun. And if this were to come to light somehow, (shown to us in saaaaay a flashback) it would be yet another nail in the coffin of his exile. Cuz the council could spin it, make it look like Viktor was colluding with Zaun the whole time, smuggling them Hextech weapons and aiding Jinx in her attack (which is of course a lie, but if they are able to prove he was smuggling Hextech into Zaun, he wouldn’t really have an answer for these accusations… not one they’d be inclined to believe, anyway.)

And I do have something to back it up: this. This right here. This look, when Jayce is actually floating the idea of building weapons to be used against Viktor’s people.

The wheels are turning. That is a look of realization, of determination. It says oh you’re not the man I thought you were. So it’s up to me now. I have to help them.
