Arcane Speculation - Blog Posts

Okay, Arcane rant real quick. Would love to get some of everyone’s thoughts on this! Season 2 spoilers.

So when Future! Viktor is explaining that he had tried to stop the Glorious Evolution before, we saw blips of him giving Jayce different runes when he initially gave Child! Jayce the stone. When Ekko and Heimer are trying to recreate the singularity, Ekko says that the time travel component worked because he was tinkering with “Jayce’s acceleration rune” and circled the rune that was carved into that stone.

Does this mean there are other timelines where Ekko used other powers, based on different runes that Future! Viktor tried to give Jayce? Or did the singularity only work because it was specifically the acceleration rune? Just wanting to bounce some ideas around with people.

Audibly said oh my God I love that

Memento Mori

"I'll never make mistakes again, for you..."

Kinda hope we get a callback to the "it's viktor" line or jayce's "he's like a brother to me" in season 2 yk

Like viktor has all the machine heraldy stuff on and jayce says something like "ive never even met you" or "who/what are you" and viktor takes the mask off and it's like it's viktor

Or maybe the reveal happens through someone else to jayce. Like jayce asks if they know who's doing all of this and an enforcer (maybe caitlyn??) goes "it's viktor"

And I'd like them to do something with the brothers line because to me, that really screams vander and silco, and since we're probably getting more development for them maybe we'll see more of viktor and jayce in how they used to be, not just vi and jinx (still love them tho).

Like I know a lot of people really don't like that line because it gets in the way of jayvik, and if it were in any other context I wouldn't like it, but with all the sibling drama in arcane and all of the parallels between specifically siblings or sibling adjacent I feel like it's setting something up

We're just not sure what that is yet

I think viktor also really needs to start interacting with more characters because if jayce and silco can meet then viktor can talk to more than the same 5 people (and that's a bit of a stretch)

Anyone else feel like arcane season 2's merch has been really mismanaged??

Like with the caitvi tee-shirt or viktors pony sona, those are HUGE spoilers and they're just shipped out as official merch

And yeah maybe it's because of the leaks but still it seems like if they're going to do promo for season 2 they could push characters that don't have major design changes or show off major plot points

Like I've barely seen anything for ekko but we get official machine herald spoilers??? What??

Idk it's giving me a bad feeling about the launch even if the show is still amazing

Complete word vomit but like what if viktor decides that whatever the 'arcane' is too dangerous or comes at too high a cost and starts The Glorious Evolution from there?

Maybe he feels responsible for whatever the weird magic orb thingys are and decides that all of this mess (not just with the hex core but also with zaun and piltover) was due to human error so now he thinks he has to help people by getting rid of their 'flaws' like they're ability to make the kinds of mistakes he made in s1.

We know he already doesn't want the hex core to be around anymore so why would he suddenly become infatuated with it?? Like sure maybe it has an influence over him, but I seriously doubt it would last all season

Plus viktors whole Thing is helping people why would he stick with the hex core and all it's bs if it means either vaporising people or shimmer? Viktor is smart that's like the first thing we know about him I feel like he'd find a way out of the hex core's thrall

Idk I just don't really want to watch hex core bs for like a quarter of next season, I'll still probably like it tho
