i have very mixed opinions on everything but after watching the trailer like 5 times:
-the tone of the show is going to be SO much darker than the original, maybe even darker than s3, which has me so excited but also so scared for the kids
-i might be stuck on the denial stage but i'm starting to firmly believe that Brooklynn is not dead. i'll make a separate post about it but i don't think she'd get killed that easily
-also, such a slay character design for 10 seconds of screentime? i refuse to believe it.
-talking about character designs, most of their timeskip looks are pretty cool?? Sammy's is my favorite, she and Yaz finally got done justice. Kenji is ok, i guess??? there's nothing really bad about it, but idk, it's just not as interesting as the others
-if i had a nickel for every time Darius had survivor's guilt over the "death" of a loved one, i'd have three nickels which is more than fucking enough please let him rest he's so tired
-BUMPY SHE'S THERE SHE'S THERE ASJKJAAJFJKDFD
-at first i thought most of the action was going to take place either on Darius's cabin or on the road, but some frames look like we might also see Sammy's farm?? if so, i'm going to be so happy we've been waiting so long for this
-if Daniel Kon is behind all of this chaos i'm going to bite something. STAY IN JAIL AND LEAVE THEM ALONE. IT'S BEEN 6 YEARS AND YOU'RE WASTING RESOURCES ON GETTING REVENGE ON A BUNCH OF KIDS WHO KICKED YOUR ASS ONE TIME. GET A LIFE.
-Yasammy is alive and well can i get a wahoo 🎉🏳️🌈
-who the fuck is that glasses guy i feel bad vibes from him
-DARIUS MIMICKING THE T-REX SCENE CAN WE GET A LITTLE COMMOTION FOR THAT 🗣️🗣️🗣️
what if we were enemies and ten years ago we tried to kill each other but both ended up losing and disappearing from our lives for a decade only to meet again at random while I'm in disguise and you recognized me just by my bratty attitude and couldn't help but to smile and the first thing you want to do is tell me all about how you've gotten good at cooking over the past ten years and all I want in this life is to have a fair rematch with you but you're dying and you've lost all your power and there's nothing I can do and I'm betrayed by my own gang and poisoned to lose all my memories but with my last shreds of consciousness I write your name on my hand and you find me without my memory and tell me I'm your friend and I remember nothing, I can trust nothing, except this instinct that the only thing I know to be true is that I want for you to live
When Arcane season 2 drops, I know I'm going to have to apologize for the person I'm gonna become. I will be unhinged on main. I will be absolutely inconsolable and insufferable.
listen. . .words TRULY cannot explain how vindicated i am feeling in the fandom after all these interviews and snippets
do you even KNOW how much hate I got for writing Come Over Here and Profound for Me? where Penelope was guilt spiraling over all she did as LW? and people accused me of being a 'psychopath' and needing therapy (as if being in therapy is a. . .bad thing?) and being oh so unfair to Penelope because she was beating herself up a lot and her friends were hurt and betrayed?
and then we got the clip of her talking down to herself, about how embarrassing she is and how no one wants her and 'of course you wouldn't want to court me' and how sad he was about how lowly she sees herself.
how absolutely baffled I was over the narrative that every new male character would be a suitor for her? how little sense it made and how Penelope was for us unseen girlies and her being a diamond would be weird and ooc and unfulfilling?
and then it was revealed that Dankworth is Prudence's husband, and that Anderson is a hit with the older ladies, hinting he's there for Violet (as a continuation of her Queen Charlotte storyline) and that Debling is in a grand total of two episodes and that even Adjoa Andoh said the season was for the wallflowers.
how confused i was over monolithic 'Penelope is a girlboss and never did anything wrong!' narratives that happened over and over in our fandom and that Colin would grovel and beg and cry to be in Penelope's good graces again over one comment?
and then the clip came out and the person she was actually dragging was herself and the worst thing she called him was 'cruel' and just about one day later she's staring into his eyes and telling him how beautiful they are and how they shine when he's kind
how peeps insisted he'd be just fine when the truth comes out that Penelope is Lady Whistledown and that he'd find her clever or already knows or wouldn't be upset at all?
