Your gateway to endless inspiration
Since Arcane released what is basically a timebomb video and since caitlyn and caitvi stans love to use timebomb as a way to say "See! People only hate us because we ship a lesbian ship/character! It's definitely not because we posted racist edits of ekko as george floyd on twitter after his va (a black man) made a 'kuklux kiraman' joke!"
I'm gonna talk about my own grievances with timebomb as a shipper.
Not only out of spite for those stans but also out of anger towards the writers, animators and anyone involved with the dumpster fire arcane's centrist narrative was.
1-As basically all the multi racial couples in Arcane with a dark skinned person they have a tragic ending, and they basically gave zero to no screen time to let us enjoy it (but hey, the dark skinned girls also suffered that, at least we know they aren't sexist!/hj)
2-Ekko's presence in the ending is merely used as Jinx's anti depressant right after the "Child curing female hysteria" died, playing on the trope that a man is what can cure a mentally ill girl.
3-Not enough screen time again, but this time i'm talking about it in general. We didn't got to see Jinx's and Ekko's time before act two and three, we didn't got to see Jinx reflecting on the time she hurted the people of Zaun including Ekko, we didn't got to see Ekko actually showing that he accepts Jinx (at least more than that scene that looked like he was about to deadname her)
4-Giving all the romantic interactions to maniac pixie dream girl Jinx but not even giving a hint of affection other than stopping a suicide attempt and painting each other off camera was certantly a choice.
And there's probably more that i'm forgetting.
