Oh You're Gonna Have Fun Good Luck

lottie being like "travis u HAVE to get as high off forest mushrooms as possible it's absolutely critical for the survival of our little society" was. so fucking funny

i need to know how long the melissa things been planned because i just rewatched the last part of season 2 and she was always next to shauna. like just there but never interacting and plenty of us noticed at the time. that is Literally why the crackship started as far as i remember (tho it wasnt popular. like it was a joke in the moment that just disappeared again) because they literally never spoke bar one comment (which was melissa making a dig at shauna btw) but they were always near each other and oh wouldn't it be funny if !! and like now im like... holy shit maybe that wasnt a coincidence maybe that was an actual character choice.

i swear we're all just so used to not getting explicitly queer storylines and everything just being Implied that we thought we were reading into something too much. melissa has been drawn to shauna for a long time and we made it all a joke because how could it be anything more than that. they wouldn't make (arguably) the main character explicitly queer ?? And in doing so basically make her being in love with her best friend canon ?? but they did. they rly did that.

how it feels scrolling through the arcane tag and seeing everyone mourn and then seeing the caitvi shippers

Me: this might sound fucked up but I’m almost happy our gym teacher was a pedophile.

friend: I’m DEFINITELY happy our gym teacher was a pedophile

Random kid in the hallway: AYO WHAT?!?

i know what your type is nat, i see the pattern...

im also into tall brow doe eyed people with dark hair and tanned skin and pretty lips natalie.

and yes im sick enough to make both girls look at travis and it was on purpose (lottie looking at him in sibling way, and mari looking at him mainly as alexa, but also how mari was thirsting over him in s1)

reposting my youtube comment onto here bc its literally all i can think about. caitvi may have been affecting each other's lives for far longer than they know (they may have been saving each other for far longer than they've realized too).

I've seen a lot of good theories about where the timeline divergence came from (damn the arcane fandom is so big brained sometimes, good job y'all), but this one consistently rots my brain from the inside out bc my god. i will never get over the underlying tragedy of ep 7. how one small difference could have changed it all.

arcane really is a story of what ifs, each more painful to think about than the last.

I think the thing about the existence of the wilderness (in the supernatural sense) is that there was some sort of supernatural element out there with them. I say this because there are inexplicable elements to the show (no eyed man, Jackie's dying hallucination, Van's seeing things as she was dying). But that thing did not make them do the things they did.

Let's think about it here. When Lottie was speaking French, she said "it wants blood". Someone translated it fully (I don't remember who so if someone wants to tag them), the French translated to something like "I gave it offerings, but it wants blood. Yet blood doesn't mean death. You can get a papercut and bleed.

Which brings me to my point. The wilderness gives them something when there's blood. Not when there's death. When they were on their periods, they were eating better. When the plane crashed, van survived because of the blood spilled. During the seance, the spirit left Lottie when she was bleeding. When Shauna got a nosebleed on the symbol, the birds fell from the sky. At doomcoming, slitting Travis's throat brought the bear. When Laura Lee flew the plane, it saved Van. As Shauna was giving birth, Travis cutting his palm saved Shauna's life.

They have to spill blood to get what they want. They don't have to kill.

That's the whole point. There is something out there with them, but the girls are also crazy. It was just them. Them who decided to kill.

Van: Wait... Lottie, you're a lesbian right?

Lottie: Ya!

Van: But you told me you like Nat AND Travis?

Lottie: Yep!

Van: But... Travis is a dude?

Lottie: Oh... does she not know yet?

“you can’t ship travlottienat AND think lottie is a lesbian” what you fail to consider is that travis martinez is a trans girl actually
