Thanks a lot, I'm glad you like my video! And I agree, it's such a heartwrenching show, but Violyn is a breath of fresh air and hope, I really hope they are developed further in season 2! And I'm considering Patreon, good to know some people would support me 😊👍

Even with non-humans in the show! Its simply that a relationship is just 'there'. Love is love - although hate is hate as well.

@@KnugLidi yup, the different emotions (love, hate, fear, loathing, desire, hope, despair, etc) affect everyone no matter who they are, though they DON'T (edit) experience them in the same way or to the same degree...

Yeah, it's heartbreaking ❤️

Yeah, it's really had an impact on me!

Thanks, excellent suggestion! Hereby named!

I'll second that!

Yes, it's a wonderful scene! And I agree with your observations, this place is quite the contrast to what Vi is used to... I think I say more about this in some of my other videos: "Why Does Vi Fall for Caitlyn" and "What Was the Plan at the Council, Caitlyn and Vi?" 😊

Thank you so much for your feedback! That is basically what I'm trying to do, explain and interpret what is there in the subtext. I'm glad you like my style 😊

@@tildaowen same bro

Thanks! And I agree, they very quickly get comfortable with each other, mainly because they have to. Several situations arise where they are dependant on the other. Trust grows between them rather fast too, because of these situations and because they realise they CAN rely on each other and generally speaking have the same goals. It's beautifully and subtly written!

Mine hasn't either (as I said in the video also...)! And it's a beautiful scene and very beautiful expressions and looks ❤️

Also a very strong opposites attract couple you should look at is garen and katarina both have duties to their countries but find out there’s more in it in each other

Thanks for the tip, what show is that?

@@tildaowen its their in game lores

@@Betroid aha, I don't play the game, so I wouldn't know...

Thank you so much! 😊❤️

Yes, it's an incredibly beautiful moment! Vi is in pain and Caitlyn embraces it ❤️ And we are in exquisite pain too (especially when Vi pushes Caitlyn away later 😭)

​@@tildaowen In Everything I Need by Skylar Grey, there is a line that says "like the sea, she keeps kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times she pushes her away." Can you see a resemblance? One helps the other, and later, Vi pushes her away, but Caitlyn keeps thinking about her. That goes to show what true love is.

@@user-pi6qr7zm7m yes, I like that image. But unlike the sea, I think Caitlyn has a limit to the amount of pushing away she can take. Like if Vi still chooses Jinx after Jinx has bombed Caitlyn's mother...

@@tildaowen chaos will still ensue, that's why I am hoping Caitlyn's father and Vi to stop her in this way: Caitlyn's father will reason with her, and if he fails, Vi protect Jinx at half of all the costs.

@@tildaowen 1: (my first comment) 2: what makes you think she has a limit? By the looks of it, she's ready to give up anything in turn for Vi.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot! Yes, I need season 2 as well! I'm not exactly bored with season 1 yet (as I think this video shows), but I would looove new content!

Thanks a lot! I'm glad we can share our obsessions and thoughts about life and love 😊

I'm a straight male and am obsessed with violyn

@@venkatasrikanth245 Yes, because it's a wonderful love story! It's not just the wlw part that has me going (though it certainly doesn't hinder me!), but the way their characters have their own arcs and they are their own people, but so much more together ❤️

Thank you so much! ❤️ Yes, there's such great depth to Arcane, and no, I'm not done 😊 There should be one coming out in about a month (I'm slow and also on holiday at the moment...)

Thank you, you're very kind!

Thanks a lot! Yes, this fever is incurable, apparently 😂

Thank you, yes, I agree completely! Arcane is really good at not writing stereotypes, they let both Vi and Caitlyn be vulnerable, strong, full of faults, caring, femine, masculine and everything in between... ❤️

Thanks a lot! I felt the same coming back and finding new things...

Thanks, yes, it really is amazing!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like them 😊❤️

I agree completely with what you said! I think Mel and Jayce was supposed to feel jarring to begin with, also because it wasn't exactly sincere from Mel's side... But Caitlyn and Vi just felt real and natural ❤️

@@tildaowen I'm of the opinion that initially it wasn't sincere from Mel's side - a bit of the wolf showing there - but after Jayce opened up to her and I think she realized that there was more than she thought there. It served as a counter point to her mother - all wolf all the time - that she would use and discard males as needed.

@@KnugLidi I agree, Mel starts out using Jayce in every way, but he wins her over...

Thank you so much 😘

Thanks a lot! You too 😊

But of course, rather obvious, huh? 😁 Great love story 😍

Thank you so much! You're very welcome 😘

Thank you so much! I've loved Darcy and Elizabeth since I was twenty, it's a universal story, and I just saw some of the same elements in Caitlyn and Vi ❤️

Thank you so much! 😊

You're very welcome, thanks for watching! 😘

Thanks a lot! 😊

Thanks ❤️

My fav scene is also bed scene. I just love such moments in any media where people not only catch a breath and share their private things but I simply love when two people look directly into each other's eyes and see their souls. You see that very rarely. It also happens rarely in life, as people rarely stop to see each other for who they really are. People think everything lies in words and dialogues where reality is in this moment and that's why I love this scene. A simple touch and meeting gazes tell so much more than anything they could've said. Words are very unnecessary. That scene binds them to the present, unbothered by circumstances, only experiencing each other beyond words and worldly status. I also love that window scene at 15:21, not because of Violyn but I just love that background colors of morning sun, the branch of the tree and the buildings look so beautiful. I love beautiful fantasy cities like this. I actually realised I also love such cities in Europe because they also look fantasy to me, totally unreal. I can't believe people actually live in such places and not in cities like ours. Idk maybe beacuse it's a yearning I have for beautiful cities since every building here looks like really ugly minecraft cube houses and they also collapse in the slightest tremble lol. Anyways.

Yes, I've heard about the situation in Turkey and Syria, it's dreadful and tragic... All my best wishes go out to you and your people. I can't do anything else than donate, but I guess it matters no matter what you do... Hope you get some sleep soon! And I'm glad my video could give your thoughts a little respite...

@@Raven_Black_252 Hi again. I agree, the bed scene is an aesthetic masterpiece, it's so beautiful in its colours and symbolism. I also love fantasy cities like that... We don't have many of those in Denmark, but areas in our cities that look right out of a fairy tale... If you ever get the chance, go to Barcelona, it's really magical and unreal in places...

@@tildaowen hi, late notifs I guess 😜. Yes, I've heard so, but given our economy we can't even travel to the nearest city within the country let alone go abroad lol. Sad truth. I doubt I'll ever go to Barcelona or any such beautiful city in my lifetime or get to live to see the economy get so good that I can just do my job, not worry about surviving the end of the month and even have spare money to go to places. That will probably never happen. We were about to go to elections this spring but with this current situation they are trying to postpone it (huge mistake, we can't tolerate them anymore) and if they win even one more election we're done for. We'll turn to Afghanistan. This may be even our "better" days rn. The problem is, if somehow they don't win (they will, they just cheat and we can't do anything about it, welcome to dictatorship in democracy's clothes) they won't be going willingly either which makes me fear a civil war. Idk, shit's about hit the fan (as if it hasn't already), and here I am watching vids about fantasy worlds lol. Call it escapism or whatever the hell you'd want to. Very few options to keep my sanity. I guess that's the thing, both Barcelona and the section I just mentioned in Piltover during sunrise are the same thing to me. Both fantasy. It's unreal to me. I always get appalled when foreigners talk about travel advices and where to go as if it's a stroll in the park. I look at other people abroad, young people like me, who have travelled to 20 or maybe 30 countries already. Doing everything I can't. Then we all blame the social media for it. "It's always the people showing off!" Is it though? If it's so normal to you and other people outside, doesn't that mean we don't even live here but just survive? That makes people question their lives. It did to me. Is this even living, I say. Sure it is the same process for everyone. But I can't wrap my head around the fact that high school kids getting jobs at pizza places during summer and buying expensive shit with that. Here we work our asses, sacrificing everything, our sanity, our bodies in bad working conditions no matter the job, our time and everything... We work all the way to 50 and then when we get retired, how much money do we get for it do you think? Let me say, my mom who is a retired municipal officer from our hometown's city hall got only 130k as lump sum. What does that buy? Nothing. A big nothing. A house costs 1.5 million. A car is 1 million (not brand new). Even if you buy a house, there it f*cking collapses onto you. A concrete coffin, that's all it is. No matter what job it is, it never pays good because of the economy. I doubt it will ever change in near future. I was born in it, it's been decades like this. Even if it gets better in a decade or so, who knows whether I'm gonna be there to live it? The 40k dead in the country rn all went to their beds having prepared their shit for the next day. Can you know what will happen? No, no one can. I can die of a natural disaster as such, I can get killed by a man on the street for no reason (you'd be surprised to see the femicide rates here), I can get killed in worse ways for being queer, I can get killed for being non-religious etc etc. And when I tell all these to friends from other countries, they can't believe it. It f*cking is. They get disturbed. They don't want to hear such things. They totally live in another world, completely cut off. None of our problems even match. It's so weird idk. It does not interest you either nor you are the one who needs to hear these things. None of it is your problem or sth you caused, if it comes off as aggressive excuse me, that's how I usually am unfortunately. Nothing directed to you. It was unnecessary info too, but I can't stop complaining about shit most of the time, it just overflows like a full cup as I'm full of this shit. In fact, just saying that makes me want to delete it all rn, I should probably end this and send asap or else I'll just hit delete. But, yeah, Barcelona must be nice, I'm sure. I'll look at its pictures as well. And others. It was a nice vid btw, I like how you get lost in details. Just don't stop doing Arcane vids, that is your trademark. I can clearly see you enjoy it and this ship most. The comparison between Arcane and Pride & Prejudice was very interesting, haven't thought about it before but it clearly works and I can see why. Nice job. Can't wait for new vids. Take your time tho, life's not sth to be taken so serious as to get crazy over making content. Live and consume your own life's content. We come later. Take care.

@@Raven_Black_252 I'm sorry things are so messy in your country now, and that your life is not what you wanted. Thanks for sharing! We are allowed to give our opinions truthfully and I don't think you sound aggressive. You sound frustrated, angry and sad and I understand completely... I find that SFF stories are amazing for many reasons. First of all, it's a form of escapism, as you say, it takes us out of our own lives, so we can be free of our worries and heartaches for a while. Does it solve anything? No, but it does wonders for our mental health! The mind and body has a few moments of respite to recharge batteries, so you can face your real problems again with a relatively clear head afterwards. This aspect of SFF saved my life once. Secondly, SFF is allegory. It does relate to real life, it is just wrapped in rather strange looking trappings. Behind all the magic and flying objects, there are very real moral tales going on. And Arcane is really, really good at doing this. So many universal themes that we can relate to in there, people acting horribly, nobly and everything in between in their lives. The thing with SFF is that most of the time you don't consciuosly notice the moral messages in the story (this is partly why I try to interpret), they store in your brain subconsciously. And that is the real power of such fiction. It gives you perspective, insight and catharsis very subtly, which means you take it in more easily. I swear, if we have all those in power in Turkey read SFF books for a year or so, we'll see a change! But of course that's not going to happen... All I'm saying is that you're doing the right thing. You're doing your best with what you've got. So keep reading, keep watching, keep discussing online, etc. It'll keep you sane and more levelled. You're broadening your horizons by doing it! My heart is with you, I hope everything turns out OK.

Exactly! And thanks 😊

Well, yes, I actually think I've done it before too? ;-)

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it and my accent 😏😁

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like my take on Arcane, I think it's obvious by now that I love that show! And Vi and Caitlyn! So many details to dig out, it's great fun!

Thanks, I'm glad you like it and I hope I can live up to your expectations with the next one too 😊

Why, thank you ever so much! I try 😊

You're very welcome! 😊 I'm definitely going to cover season 2 thoroughly, can't wait! 😍

Thank you so much, I'm glad you like my thoughts on Violyn :-) They really do invite analysis, Arcane is so well written! And the parallels between characters, like the one you mention with touching v. words, are so subtly done, wonderful!

Thanks! Yes, I thought you made some good points, so I wanted to include them 😊 Well, I'm not sure I'll get to deep dives of all those scenes, but I think we can safely say, I'm not done with these two!

@@tildaowen Thank you^^ And you still covering Caitvi is enough😊

Thanks, I'm glad you like them 😊

I agree, artistically, this show is next level, they make all the right choices especially by showing not telling... In a way less is more, like you say, keeping the scenes, the action and the dialogue to the minimum, they don't drag things out. And yet it's really the opposite in the animation (and perhaps the fight scenes), every image is packed with information! Like you also say, they can convey so much with facial expressions, and since it's animated, someone has spent several days on that expression, so there's nothing unintentional going on... You can interpret so, so much from so little ❤️

Thanks, you're kind, and thanks for the vote of confidence, but I don't think I'll do a deep dive of all the scenes (but you never know, I have changed my mind before...)

Maybe you can, because Elizabeth is joking here (at least partially), it's not the grand house, but the man Darcy is when they meet there (of course the ground work was laid earlier)... And the same goes for Vi, she's not impressed with the grandeur, but with what Caitlyn is and does despite of that.

@@tildaowen A bit of grandeur doesn't hurt though. Now, how can we parallel Caroline and Sevika? I think that's too much of a stretch. 😉

@@petearundel166 I'd say so too, lol! But as to grandeur, yes, Elizabeth is drawn to it, Vi most certainly is not!

Thanks! Yes, so much revealed in all the characters' faces!

Well, the bed scene is a lot longer than the easy, easy scene, so I guess that accounts for much of it? Also, what happens in the easy, easy scene is mostly unconscious, chemical reactions, very new and surprising for both of them. Whereas in the bed scene, feelings have cemented themselves and really flowered into full bloom. Also Vi's regret about Powder/Jinx looms a lot larger in the bed scene...

Thanks, glad you like it!

@@tildaowen I'm glad I waited watching it. These always work great to lift my mood. Also, please never stop this obsession :D

@@BlackKraya Oh, it won't end any time soon, lol!

You're very sweet (blushing), but yes, I feel quite passionate about Arcane and Violyn ❤️

Thanks a lot, you're very kind! Arcane is the gift that keeps on giving ❤️ And yes, Stop Me Oh and I do seem to be barking up the same tree, lol! But she works much quicker than me, I'm not sure a collaboration would be possible, though it would be interesting for sure. But I do have a collaboration in the works, stay tuned 😉

@@tildaowen Oh, I will for sure. 😍

Thank you 😊 Yes, I definitely saw some similarities! Violyn is a universal story and I can't wait for season 2 either!

Thank you, I really like the feel of the classical heroines, despite also being so new and fresh :-)

Thank you! ❤️

I wish you have a happy saint valentine day Usually i don't pay much attention to this day. And to be honest I tend be more cynical about this stuff. I think you are the one of the people who help me refresh my vision. so💝 Plus i'm pretty sure that cynic is always kind of the traumatized idealist.

Thank you, you're sweet. I'm not a fan of the day either, so I sort of did a take over...? 😁😉

Well, I'm glad my videos can be enjoyed in more ways than one 😊

Thank you for your comment, there are so many theories about that gap in time. Yours is a sweet one 😊 It’s really hard to judge which comes closest, but I give my interpretation in the video “What was the plan at the council, Caitlyn and Vi?” What I think is important to note, is that I don’t think anything important for their relationship has been left up to interpretation. If it was important, we would have seen it, heard about it, one way or another… I’m SO looking forward to more answers (and questions) in season two! 😍

@@tildaowen I knew you were discussing it somewhere, turns out I commented in the wrong video. Anyways, love your analisis and can't wait for season 2 and your thoughts on it

@@igabak2754 Thanks! 😘

I have a master's degree in English, specialising in literature, so yes I've been schooled in literary criticism 😊 I'm glad you like the interpretations!

Vi definitely thinks she's undeserving of Caitlyn's affections...

@@tildaowen Caitlyn thinks she doesn't get to make that choice

@@user-pi6qr7zm7m she already did 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thank you, I'm glad you like my content 😊 I'm driven by a personal interest, so there are only few shows that have me invested enough on several levels to make videos. So though I like Warrior Nun, I won't make videos about it... Unless of course the coming films change that 🤷🏼‍♀️ I haven't seen Korra and from what I heard, the queer content in that is only subtext, right? Having said this I AM working on more queer content that's not Arcane. In a month or two, there's a video about Atypical coming out. And I am considering making one about Blue Eye Samurai 😊

Totally makes sense and appreciate the response! For Korra, yes it is subtext in the show until the end, but the books that are considered canon do expand on their relationship. There is a lot of signaling and development in the series of their relationship, but because Nickelodeon, the writers could never be totally out right until a certain part that I don't want to spoil! I've yet to watch Blue Eyed Samurai, on my list 🙂

@@thediplomat1124 Hmm, I'll consider Korra, thanks for the recommendation 😊👍

She did a video loop of them to LDR's 'Cinnamon Girl 'too

@@Fionalah She did?! Where?

I did not know! Send me links if you can, please! 🤩

@@tildaowen KZfaq doesn't like sharing links in the comments, but googling "ag_nonsuch pride prejudice" got me a successful hit on the first two links (reddit and twitter).

Thanks!

Thanks for the parallel! I can't really comment, because I never watched Xena... But I agree, what is between Vi and Caitlyn isn't subtext, it's there, it's real, despite no kisses or verbal confirmation of kisses. Season 1 of Arcane didn't need that for their story, but season 2 does! We need that proper confirmation going forward in their story. But I'm 99% percent sure we'll get it. It was hard back in the day to have so many wlw stories hidden away in subtext, these days we want and deserve the whole thing, no doubts or deniability!

Agreed. In S2 there needs to be a kiss because S1 showed us WHY there needs to be a kiss. And then Caitlyn be like: "I swear, if you say 'oil and water' one more time..." xD

@@7hkey oh, they'll kiss season 2 (confirmation of feelings and all that), but get together like a couple? That's another matter entirely! Jinx will try to stop it, Vi will feel she doesn't deserve it (serious guilt-tripping on her part), and will Caitlyn be with someone whose sister killed her mother? 🤷🏼‍♀️ The show is a tragedy, so I fear the worst! 😬

​@@tildaowen yep, I feel Cassandra is toast, too. I'll miss her: just with the scene where she offers to arrange the audience with the council for Cait, her character became very nuanced (storming into Cait's room with a rifle helped too xD) The last shot of Cait's screaming face overlapped with Cassandra's made me miss her already :( Though I don't think Cait will go on a revenge path, I feel her focus will be on the objective fact that Jinx needs to stopped - at all cost, but wishing to go for the solution that would cause Vi the less amount of pain. Nevertheless I do hope for some buddy cop side mission where they are shown working as a team. ^.^

@@7hkey Yes, Cassandra is an interesting role, primarily as Caitlyn's mother, which the scene you reference underlines. Despite the distance between Caitlyn and Cassandra, they had just become closer (through the council situation in ep 8), and of course Caitlyn loves her mother despite their mutual animosity... I think Caitlyn will want them to work as a team, she has the greatest chance of catching Jinx with Vi on her side. But can she overcome the guilt obstacles on both her and Vi's side? I'm hoping so, but I fear the worst... Also because Caitlyn is just human, and she can only be her fair and forgiving self for so long when Jinx not only comes between her and Vi, but also kills her mother. I've said from my first video, Caitlyn is becoming darker and more so going forward in season 2, I'm afraid 😭

Yeah, it's a conundrum, but I think they're too exhausted to worry about decorum. Caitlyn knows propriety is not a thing for Vi, and Caitlyn is focused on giving Vi space to feel comfortable in her home. Finally safe and alone they collapse on the bed, no time to change before they fall asleep imo...

@@tildaowen Too many buckles for comfy repose ;-)

Guilty!

My name is really Tilda, though spelled a little differently in my mother tongue...

It's nice to find a kindred spirit 😊 Yes, I agree, the versatile and honest portrayal of women and relationships is definitely something both Austen and the writers of Arcane are good at! Also the depth of detail and insight into human character is a big commonality ❤️

​@@tildaowendefinitely! Love your content by the way ❤

@@user-mx7fh2ms3z Thanks a lot 😘

You haven't seen it and you're watching these spoiler videos??? Go watch Arcane, it's amazing (and Caitlyn is alive...)

@@tildaowen TY for the answer. No, I have not seen it, I find that these reviews help me avoid real stinkers (like The wRongs of Power) and since it takes a while to get the DVDs, I generally forget the spoilers by then. And.... gotta say, you do a great job at this sort of thing. Branch out, do more subjects. Oh, and if you have not seen "FALL" yet, I highly recommend it for you.

@@johnwolf2829 you mean The Fall with Gillian Anderson? That is amazing!

@@tildaowen I .... no, this movie came out last year and the name is just "FALL". About two women that climb a radio tower and get stuck there (its not a spoiler to let you know that, its in all the trailers). kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n7mjo7WErMmYdJ8.html

Well, yes, if you go that far back of course there are mistakes made. Vi wanted to prove herself and it failed with catastrophic results. She is carrying that guilt around the rest of her life! But Vi's intention has always been to be there for Powder. Circumstances just pushed her in certain directions, she isn't to blame for everything happening to Jinx... And most certainly this will have an influence on Vi's relationship with Caitlyn! Guilt will be a huge obstacle for them no matter what...

Vi is a hotspur. She has learned little from her mistake, despite the guilt and 7 years in prison. Sure, they probably strive for a slower character development, but the fact is, she didn't know how to deal with Powder and put her personal goals (to be respected) above (almost) everything. In the end, it came as Vander said... without meaning to and with good intentions, she lost all those who followed her and her foster father. Maybe Caitlyn can bring her under control.

@@fj1659 I agree, Vi is a punch first, ask questions later, impulsive character, who despite good intentions wreaks havoc. But her heart is in the right place, Caitlyn definitely has a positive influence on her. But the one who needs to be stopped is Jinx, imo... Vi is fallible, it would be boring if she wasn't, but Jinx is out of control, a sociopath beyond saving. Sad!

@@tildaowen You are right about Jinx. I'm curious about the Caitlyn/Vi/Jinx dynamic. In the teaser (I think Caitlyn) said that she will hunt Jinx and that she needs Vi so that there is at least a small hope that one or both of them will not die.

@@fj1659 I have a video in the works about the dynamic between Vi, Jinx and Caitlyn (it'll be quite a while before it's done, though), so I'm also extremely curious as to what season 2 will bring in that department!

We don't... What happens off screen is unknown to us viewers unless it's mentioned verbally later. So there's no evidence to unequivocally rule out that they had sex, for example. But there's no unequivocal evidence that proves they DID have sex, either... It's my interpretation, however, (and I gave evidence for this in the video) that it's extremely unlikely that they did anything more than sleep...

I'm sorry, I don't know of such a shirt being made. Maybe commission a tailor to do it? Good luck!

@@tildaowen Thanks! I guess you’re right, I live in Los Angeles. There are probably many tailors who could take on such a project. I’ll keep you posted 😅
