Your gateway to endless inspiration
the amount of times I got reminded of spiderverse while watching arcane is insane actually, my absolute two favorite things
like,
1. glitching
2. heimerdinger sending ekko home // spider-byte sending miles home (through portals)
3. gwen prom scene // powder entering party
4. gwen and miles // ekko and powder
5. spot (black hole version) // wild runes (big hexcore)
6. animation style obviously
7. both ekko and miles are artists, and they both paint on the walls
so far these are at the top of my mind, feel free to add more
The definition of “Maybe in another universe”
Do you think we are together in every universe?
No…… no, just the one.
I NEED a Jinx, Ekko, and Victor team up this season!
He implies she's worth building something new with, next thing we know he's wearing a more revealing outfit with her signature X doodled all over his body. Good for him!
Also, between this scene and the moment they show up in battle, they've apparently had the time to: - turn her entire lab/hideout into a blimp - cover the whole thing in giant tags of the firelights symbol, her cloud tatoos, and more - rebuild pow pow and fishbones, which were very much broken in act 2 - rally the firelights - cut and dye her hair - crop his top - pierce his ears - sew her a shark hoodie - cover her entire body in crayon drawings - accessorize their outfits - again, turn her lair, a giant airshaft, into a functional blimp
Maybe Ambessa gave her entire army the week off before battle. Maybe Jinx and Ekko were on unfathomable amounts of cocaine. We'll never know
I’m a Xiao main who’s an Ekko number 1 fan. I think there’s a pipeline here which consumes us all
As someone who knows you for your genshin and xlmi posts I wanna say I find it kind of hilarious you like tb cause as a xiao main I really love ekko too 🤣
If I had a nickel for every time I fell in love with a male character, who has bird motifs, wears a mask when fighting, loves and protects their nation, has remained a kind and gentle person despite the trauma they've been through, lives in a big ass tree, is shipped with a MC who has a complicated/strained relationship with their sibling due to being separated for so long and graduated university with a degree in yearnerlogy.... I'd have two nickels.
Which isn't much but it's weird that it happened twice.
Ekko and Xiao also deserve to be in better games than Genshin and League.
hodnjdkkdkkk in all seriousness tho I love Ekko and Xiao so much 🥺
One of the most beautiful and heartbreaking edits I've ever seen
Honest to god you guys, I didn’t really get the Powder/Jinx x Ekko (Timebomb is their ship name I believe?) shipping that much in the first season, just wasn’t really invested all that much.
But NOW, oh boy am I going through it now. Like, straight up bawling my eyes out and shit. The dancing scene with them in that semi fix-it universe FUCKED me UP fr fr.
Like I’m sitting on my bed rn, it’s almost 11pm and I’ve got work quite early tomorrow morning but instead of sleeping like I told myself I’d be doing (my sleep schedule is a bit fucked up at the moment), I’m over here! Sobbing like an idiot while listening to the song from the dancing scene (Ma Meilleure Ennemie by Stromae & Pomme). I can’t fucking deal with this. Leave it to Arcane to finally make me invested in the straight ship as much as the gay ones I guess. Doesn’t happen a lot but Arcane is just that good.
So yeah, that dancing scene was just beautiful on its own, but it’s just made so much worse by us all knowing that it’s just a different universe. That Ekko won’t stay here, that he’ll probably find a way to leave, to go back to his own. And in all of the scenes in the fix-it universe, we can see him slowly falling in love with Powder again, remembering who she was before everything went to shit, before Jinx. Seeing what could have been. What kind of life they could have had. The entire sequence of them dancing just has such a bittersweetness to it, it makes me so fucking emotional, it’s almost unreal.
So I guess, let’s just say: I get it now guys. Sorry for not seeing the vision before.
