NEW POSTER(S) & VI TEASER!! (Arcane S2) 

My headcanon with the badge and the enforcer thing in general is that this particular squad isn't under the enforcers, but undwr Jayce and his security team. Cause remember, Jayce as a councilor is in charge of Hextech and more specifically its security, so it makes sense that he is able yo create a task force of sorts that operate separately from the Enforcers.

Another thing is the S1 poster looks like Vi is trying to shelter Jinx from the dangers but Jinx looks anyways S2 looks like Jinx forcing Vi to see the new horrors

I absolutely love that even just a poster can invoke so many warring emotions. But they all have one thing in common: the emotions are all negative. You feel weirded out, you feel unsettled, you just have this innate feeling that "this isn't right." God, the writing and planning in Arcane is incredible.

Silco's big catchphrase of "story of opposites" makes so much sense now that we know the season is going to be a complete opposite of season 1. I'm so scared lmao

Another thing (this comes from artist might be reading into things) but the S1 poster looks like a heart around powder S2 poster looks like a box or diamond shape around Vi

The thing that struck me about the teaser is that Vi and Cait's team looks like bizarro world Claggor, Milo, and Powder. Big tanky boy, skinny dex fella, and small girl with gun I'm sure that will really help Jinx with her feelings of being replaced

I thought exactly what Squircle said about the two posters. Season 1's poster is Protective. Season 2's poster is Possessive. Which ties in very realistically with Powder/Jinx's fear of losing Vi, let alone losing her to somebody else, ie Caitlyn. Season 1's poster shows that Powder feels safe in Vi's arms. Season 2's poster shows not only Jinx menacingly glaring at us with a look that says "Don't even try it.", but also Vi, though not looking at us, but with a look that shows concern, anxiety, confliction, fear... whatever she's feeling at that moment, it's safe to say that Vi is extremely unsettled.

My thoughts on the poster: the old poster seems as if vi is hiding powders gaze from something (away from the viewer) in that protective nature. While the newer poster feels like Jinx is holding Vi’s head to look AT something (the viewer) in a threatening way. Jinx’s gaze is looking at us with intent while Vi’s is looking slightly away as if she doesn’t want to look at us. While she is uncomfortable, the viewer is also uncomfortable by now being an active subject of the scene.

S1 poster: vi being an older sister protecting an afraid jinx S2 poster: vi being suffocated(not literally) by a maniac but doesn't want to fight her sister. The posters defines their relationship throughout the season

4:09 My impression of this poster was not that Vi is being comforted by Jinx in some weird way, but rather that Jinx is holding Vi against her will. Maybe Jinx has Vi strapped to a chair or has Vi's hands tied behind her back, then Jinx hugs her for whatever reason. I think that Vi is not willingly hugging Jinx. Jinx seems mentally ill in this poster, just look at her eyes. Vi seems distressed and alert, I think because of whatever Jinx has done/is doing.

In both posters vi isn't looking directly at the camera but jinx is Do with that as you will.

How do you not see that on the new poster Vi has an expression of FROZEN HORROR in her eye? She surely doesn't want to be hugged by Jinx here.

Don't forget that the S1 poster wasn't a scene or a moment out of season 1, but more a representation of an idea or sentiment that largely encapsulated season 1. Vi being protective of powder. The S2 poster is doing the same thing with a different sentiment. "Jinx being possessive of Vi." and possibly "Vi being traumatized by the whole nothing ever stays dead thing." They're basically telling us this is what season 2 is gonna feel like. Which is a little creepy and 'wrong.' I am very excited for it though. Time for my weekly dose of Trauma again.

We're so back

A thing I love about the posters is that in the new one the focus is on Jinx's eye, just like in the old one. Vi is looking away from us, staring into the distance, while the flashy pink in Jinx's eye bring our attention away from the light framing the center of the image. It's like saying that the roles have changed, but Powder is still what the relationship is about after all

Ooo the image of jinx caressing vis face is so eerie. I cannot wait for the new season

An interesting thing to consider for Enforcer Vi: I think its very clear, based on the uniforms and the sheer difference between Enforcers in Season 1 and the teaser, that Caitlyn, Vi and the others are NOT normal run-of-the-mill beat cops. They look like special forces. You can see Caitlyn's signature hextech rifle in the shot as well. The other two definately look like they're armed up more than regular Enforcers.

The new poster reminds me of the scene where Jinx saw Caitlyn and Vi together and thought Vi was replacing her. Edit: I dunno of it was mentioned, but in the teaser, you can see the pink skirt stick out of her uniform, from Vi's original league design

when i first saw the poster my first thought also was Powder being possive of Vi, than protective. powders expressions to me look like "she's mine"

Vi potentially being surrounded by people who have been negatively affected by Jinx would be a nice and needed reality check

A note around 6:30 about the importance of Jinx looking at the viewer. Being possessive of Vi definitely makes sense. I also want to add that in the S1 poster, Vi looking away while holding Powder almost makes it seem as if the threat she's worried about is no longer present. Or at least immediate. Contrast that with the S2 poster, and it looks like Jinx believe the threat to still be very much present. Direct, immediate. Even Vi looks freshly traumatized. It:s like in S1, we have a moment a while after some traumatic event (Vander's death would make sense here). While in S2, it's DURING another event. Edit: so I wrote this before Squircle's reaction to Warwick. I feel your pain, girl.

Jinx probably not being shocked by Vander being resurrected as a monster is so damn relatable to me. When you grew up under horrible circumstances and you already have seen the ugliest things humanity has to offer then you wouldn't be surprised by horrible stuff anymore. Especially if you're already mentally messed up. Nothing really scares you or shakes you to your core. So, if Jinx really hugs Vi out of protection from Vander/Warwick with a straight face while Vi looks be shocked by Vanders resurrection... It isn't surprising.

i have a theory about the poster: i feel like this might not be a real thing that happens, but rather how jinx wants to keep vi protected from the bad things in the world as she sees it. similar to vi at the end of season 1, vi trying to protect who she still sees as powder from things that jinx didn't want protection from.

After rewatching your old Arcane videos so much I don't know if I'm more excited to get more Arcane or more schnee. Either way I can't wait, wish I could timeskip irl

FIRST FULL SEASON 2 TRAILER JUST DROPPED I PATIENTLY AWAIT YOUR ANALYSIS

One interesting detail about the two posters-- and i'm not sure what to make of it-- is that in both, Jinx/Powder is looking directly at the viewer, whereas Vi isn't. Vi isn't even facing the viewer in the season 1 poster, but even in the season 2 poster her eye seems to be directed a little down and to the left. Despite the roles and mood having ''turned around', this element of their respective characters hasn't.

if that enforcer is marcus’ daughter, then that does give more feasibility to vi being sheriff; because a fair amount of time would’ve had to have passed and that would give vi time to work up the enforcer ranks to being sheriff

you should also check out the animated poster (an animated version of the possessive poster). Vi's eyes are shaking, as if she's trapped and terrified, locked in Jinx's arms or unable to escape some fate bestowed upon her by Jinx (or something else the two relate on). What does this tell us about the story of season 2? SOOOO many things! Perhaps something happens to Vi (Hello Vander?) that traps her under Jinx's control or brings them together in an extremely unhealthy relationship. love that for them.

I feel like the theme of the new season is more about Obsession than Possession. We've already seen Jinx get VERY obsessed in the past, and given that she has no one left but Vi now that Silco is dead, it would make sense that she gets absolutely obsessed with her. Her holding Vi like that is more like Jinx is holding on to Vi like a liferaft and not wanting to let her go(to the point where it almost looks like Vi is trapped) no matter what, and the second poster with the monkey painted on Vi's back is almost like Jinx has marked her(either in a possession or just as a sign that Jinx sees Vi as the most important thing/person to her). Obession also makes more sense as a general theme for the entire season, as Vi is likely still obsessed with protecting loved ones, Caitlyn is likely obsessed with revenge(her stern look gives it away), and Singed(the doctor) is obsessed with his daughter and likely created Warwick because of that obsession. It also works regarding other characters like Ambessa(Also obsession with revenge for Mel, whom I think will die), Viktor(Obsessed with science and self improvement and saving lives), and Jayce(Obsessed with regulating Hextech as fast and radically as possible now that he's seen what Jinx did with it). Also, I think that the whole Opposite thing is more like the roles are now passed down. In the last season, the characters in powerful positions were people like Silco, Vander and Grayson, all of whom are eclipsed by younger versions/successors/proteges like them. Jinx will be Silco's successor as leader of Zaun, Vi will be Vander's successor as trying to protect those she loves even though the world doesn't allow it and also as a brawler working with the enforcers, Caitlyn will be Grayson's successor as leader or sort of leader of the enforcers working with Vi, who is the new Vander-like character). This btw, may also indicate Caitlyn could die(first) by Jinx's hands/invention, the same way Grayson died by Silco's. The opposite role they're mentioning may be more about how the characters now inhabit the defining roles in the conflict between Piltover and Zaun whereas in Season 1 they were mostly bystanders led by other characters who defined the conflict.

King i was WAITING for you

0:19 I think you are correct. The Arcane dev team is VERY meticulous with their world building, every detail was crafted to mean something, people (you included) have been dissecting this series frame by frame, and i don't think anyone pointed out any detail that didn't have at least a basic function of making the world feel more alive. And considering the people Vi made friends with after all that... i think her going up the ladder would be very easy, and quick with her abilities and knowledge, she is a very needed boots on the ground talent that Piltover would need after what happened. They clearly understood that the Piltover/Zaun situation needs capacities that normal enforcers cant handle well.

bro is not ready for what just dropped

When I see the way Jinx is holding Vi I get the feeling of a possessive person cradling a care and touch-starved person. Vi has the same look Ekko had when she embraced him, but more panicked. As if she's confused/realizing something that she won't like the answer to. She's been through so much already, havig her dead sister revived into a monster be the one to be tender with her? To give the the "same" care she gave Powder? That's terrifying. This monster is wearing her sisters face and giving back the love she had given Powder/was "supposed" to give her no matter if she was Jinx or Powder. This distorted unconditional love just being twisted and turned yet again

I think what we see in the trailer is probably a special task force to go after Jinx and that's why Vi has a gold badge. And I absolutely agree about the possessive instinct over a protective one. Vi makes sense in that context too. Jinx has a hold on her heart that I don't think she'll ever fully be able to be free from, and while that was her driving force before, it has morphed into shackles. She has lost every part of her old life but she'll never be able to fully move on to begin a new one.

Dude they released a new teaser for arcane season 2 today!!!!😮

NEW TRAILER!!!

as soon as the newest teaser dropped my first thought was how you're about to cook analyzing it

Dam, should've waited 3 more days ❤

I think the poster of jinx holding vi could be symbolism of how vi feels about jinx. The feeling that jinx is someone thats kinda holding tight onto her soul. It would make a bit of sense considering how vi probably feels alot of guilt for how power ended up like the way she is (jinx). Basically how in the first season vi is holding jinx because she cant let her go and shes protective of her. And now in the 2nd season, jinx is a person that weighs on vi as a character. Like jinx has a tight grip on vi's consciousness and vi has to find a way to get out of that grasp. And the 2nd season might be that journey of how shes gonna get out of that grasp and that mindset, So that vi can take jinx down as a criminal and not her sister.

My first thought when I saw the poster was that Vi looks uncomfortable and a bit shaken. Jinx has this intense but dead look in her eye and her face is completely relaxed as though whatever is bothering Vi is not bothering or phasing her. The grip on her head to force her to look at something that's making her look so spooked. It's an interesting poster that definitely gives you a negative and uncomfortable feeling as you look at it, especially now that we know these characters.

I have another interpretation of the new poster. I feel like the reason the image looks so unnerving comes mainly from the expressions of both characters - Vi gets a hug from her sister, but her face shows that she doesn't feel comforted at all. She is looking down away from us, suggesting she is probably *thinking* something like "Why does this feel so wrong?". There is NO CONNECTION, it's a *loveless hug* and that can be further confirmed by looking at Jinx's stone cold expression. Another thing that continues this line of thought is how in the s1 poster the lighting around Vi is warm, while in the new poster the lighting around Jinx is cold. So while there is a lot of evidence for the "protective vs possessive" feel, I do think that Vi desperately trying to get her sister back (even though it feels wrong) is definitely at play here. Knowing what show we are talking about, *it's probably both* and we could even be missing something that we won't understand until we've watched a bit of the season.

My excitement is immeasurable and my day is made

I don’t know if it holds much weight but I’d also acknowledge the fact that in both posters and all three examples that Powder and Jinx are looking at us, not just the newest one. Powder, while still being cradled, faces us, but Vi is not focused on us (or maybe anything) at all.

Don’t know if this has been mentioned or not, but the lighting in the s1 poster makes a triangle - also known as the strongest shape. The lighting in the s2 poster is sort of all over the place; it’s a nice reference to the fractious nature that Jinx/Powder and Vi’s relationship has deteriorated into.

Something to be said for the creators/writers/animators of this show-they 100% understand what true art is. Well done, ladies & gents. Bravo.

Vi in the poster looks like she has inner turmoil. She looks like she doesn't know what to think or feel, or maybe even uncomfortable

What stands out to me about the new poster is the damn lighting. In S1's poster, I can imagine the sisters in a dark room with one triangular hole facing Powder which is where the light comes from (based on how cleanly the lighting is 'cut' into a triangle). In S2's poster, it seems like it's coming from... within the embrace, since the edge of the lighting effect is now a fade. Or maybe it's a torchlight outside of the embrac, but the light doesn’t seem to be landing on Jinx's arm? The only literal source I can imagine is Jinx's hairclip, any other suggestions (perhaps more metaphorical)?

New poster Vi: *traumatised* Jinx: Here we go again…

The poster for me show possession. Like "See Vi you belong with me, with us."

Vi is gonna be seen as a traitor in the eyes of Zaun and Jinx will be seen as a (troublesome)hero in the eyes of Zaun.

The new trailer being released 2 days after this is so funny to me 😂 now he has to make another video ❤ I’ll be waiting

Awesome theories! Thank you to everyone who contributed to this interesting discussion. So I adore the 2 posters and how they compare and contrast with one another - key takeaway being the protective vs possessive tones. But something that I haven't seen being discussed like I've been theorising myself are the eyes. So in the season 1 poster Vi is looking away. She is really struggling facing the situation and so knows she has to protect Powder - so she braces, covering Powder protectively, hoping that she's shielded from the situation, meanwhile Vi looks away to shield herself as best as she can without being protected. This whole thing is affecting her so much that even though Vi is a very strong, brave and confident person, even she can't face the situation. Contrast that with Powder who even though she was younger and more vulnerable than Vi, looks directly at the camera, facing the struggles that Vi can't even face. Even though she's being protected by Vi, she much like in Season 1, is trying to prove herself by keeping her eyes open and facing the situation no matter how bad it is. Because the alternative image would have been for us to maybe see just Powder's hair or her eyes squeezed shut but no, her eye is open and visible to us. Also highlighting the contrast between her blue eyes and her future pink eyes. When it comes to the season 2 poster it's also very interesting. Jinkx is still facing the camera and staring at the pov shot directly. Maintaining the same direct eye contact from the first poster except she's now Jinkx, not Powder, and her eyes are pink. When it comes to her posessive hold of her, implied by the tight hold of Vi and Vi's hair caught between her fingers, and how it seems like Jinkx has a very tight hold on Vi, enveloping her in her arms, it seems like Jinkx is both being possessive and indifferent/happy for Vi to see the situation before her. She isn't trying to shield Vi from viewing a terrible situation, which could be what Vi was trying to do for Powder in the first poster, Jinkx is perhaps enjoying that the scene that Vi has witnessed/experienced has made Vi so vulnerable that Jinkx can hold her in this way. She wants to be close and have control of her sister and if Vi being confronted with a terrible situation is what it takes then Jinkx is ok with that. Moreover in contrast to Powder in the first poster, the 2nd poster features Vi not looking directly at the pov shot. Her eye conveys a lot more pain, confusion, fear, worry as although she's not closing her eyes, her gaze seems to have averted to the side, keeping everything in her peripherals - neither facing it head on nor looking away. Like she's facing a situation that is so hard to deal with but is simultaneously impossible to look away from. Furthermore, from how Jinkx is holding Vi it seems to me like it could be Jinkx holding Vi's head there so that Vi can't look away. She's positioning Vi's head to face the situation, forcing her to look at it. Jinkx is purposefully keeping Vi's face uncovered so that Vi can see everything, so that Vi can feel all the feelings that Jinkx may feel she had to deal with or has to deal with on a day to day basis. Like she's saying to Vi 'join me, feel what I've felt for so long, and we can comfort each other again while we are engulfed by these horrible feelings but at least we'll be together again. You won't be able to leave me again after feeling like this. You'll need me.' Jinkx holding Vi in this way also serves another purpose, while it does force Vi to have an unobstructed view to something that she's struggling to face, it also presents us the audience and any character that may be viewing this like a pov shot, with an unobstructed view of Vi. Jinkx is effectively presenting Vi and Vi's struggle in this situation to the viewer - something that from seeing how Jinkx felt in season 1 I can imagine her doing. Like she would enjoy for example Caitlyn, seeing how close and reunited Jinkx and Vi are, even due to terrible circumstances, and Jinkx enjoying how much it would upset Caitlyn seeing Vi like this. Sorry for the long comment. Thank you to anyone that takes the time to read this. This just how I interpreted the posters so feel free to ignore this if you disagree etc. My opinion and theories are by no means fact.

THE TRAILER IS OUT AAAAAAAA

OH i was waiting for some good arcane s2 posters schnee analysis!

I literally said “Schnee is going to be back” when the trailer dropped

Squircle's reactions are absolutely fucking golden, world's softest 'No, no, no, noo :((' I adore it. Also I didn't connect the dots but I watcher her video essay on Fallout yesterday! And I appreciated her insights and writing a lot! This makes a ton of sense now

an interesting thing about the posters is you can see vi looking away from whatever she’s guarding powder from (almost as an “i tried to keep you from seeing this, but you saw it on accident anyways”) cuz she doesn’t rly want to look at a traumatic event herself nor does she want ppl she cares about to see that, while jinx and vi are looking in the same/similar direction, which could show how jinx may weaponize a traumatic event to get more of vi’s time and care, which ties back into that “possession” the season may tackle

I want to quickly talk about Vi joining the Enforcers and how this will be very useful to the story. Because I see a lot of people upset about this matter, and I don’t know why? They don't even have a convincing reason, so I will just clarify the matter, and I hope you understand it because it will be an important and inevitable matter in the coming season. These people should take it more logically, not emotionally. The first and most important thing if Vi joins them is not necessarily that she wants to or that she would like it, but for the sake of her sister in order to protect her from the people who will seek to kill her from Piltover, including Caitlyn of course. If she joined them, she would have more chances to know their plans and what they would do if they wanted to attack Zaun. Vi will also be able to help Ekko and his group during the war when Piltover decides to attack Zaun. This is inevitable, of course, in Season 2. So I hope you'll think about my words and theories a little and apply them to Vi's character. Is it possible that Vi will leave her sister and join the Enforcers in order to simply kill Jinx and forget everything she did for her, or will she try to take advantage of this opportunity and try to save her? And also Ekko, won't Vi help him in this war and protect him? If there's one thing Vi excels above the rest of the characters, it's sacrificing herself and her own reconciliation in order to protect the people she loves. "Vi does the things she hates to protect the people she loves"

in the season 2 teaser the 2 new guys remind me of milo and clagger

I think that we can see in this teaser some clever character creation. We don't not know what's going on with Vi during its action, but it's clear she doesn't feel comfortable in her new role, with new crew AND in new uniform which doesn't fit with her hair. What's more, she's wearing uniform's collar unproperly, which could reflect that even though she's now enforcer (or even a sheriff!) she doesn't want to fully go along with piltover forces and doesn't want to follow their routines (or maybe she doesn't know their routines that well and it's sign of her being a rookie or she was late for work and didn't have time to take care of it OR could be a mix of those. Anyway, I really like small details like this one that let characters express themselves in soooo many more ways than just using traditional dialogue

Lol I love seeing that everyone also instantly went here to talk about the new trailer

you're amazing. new arcane videos this and next year, let's gooo!

Amazing insights as always schnee! OMG can't wait to watch what you say about the new FULL teaser that dropped yesterday!

Was looking forward to this, thanks for the great content as always. 👍

I think the second (the new) poster doesn't feel comforting, I think it feels more possessive? ( I wrote this before it came up in the video sksk. great minds think alike)

Ahhh I was waiting for you to post this vid I’m so refreshed

I love the way you ask questions, the way you formulate them to prompt exactly what the creators want you to think about. I always look forward to your analyses!

Hearing "welcome to my world" and seeing how Vi is confronted with horrors she may not know, it does present a question about the first part and if her muted emotion is perhaps laced with fear.

All of these comments are absolutely wild. I LOVE an entire population detailing absolute art!!!!!! Everyone here is so cool!!!!!! So many interesting takes, I’m so intrigued and excited.

yesss i was waiting for your explanation video lmao

Honestly, Squircle, same... same. I also had that reaction. It's.. yeah.

gonna camp my notifications, new trailer just dropped, cant wait for schnee to analyze the sh*t outve it

I’m more excited for your analysis videos that I am for the actual second season 😂

This show is amazing. The 2 posters are such a head fuck. Like you said the first poster feels right, the second one is giving “holding hostage”. Edit: Also, the implication that the 2nd poster may be Vi’s reaction to basically seeing a zombified Vander is so fucked up. But honestly aligns perfectly with what the show has done. I’m scared lol.

"schnee! schnee, come back, please come back. please, schnee. we need you, pleeease." (dying over here for your season 2 trailer thoughts)

Looking forward to your breakdown of the full trailer!

Very great poster analysis!

Can’t wait to see your season 2 videos

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO. THANK YOU, SIR

From what I can tell, Caitlyn does become the new Sherif of Plitover. While also making Vi another, Sherif? This makes me question that she only did it because Caitlyn only trusts Vi to stop Jinx and all that. Just a speculation, as Vi could possibly want this. Just to find out more information about what Marcus hiddden from the Enforcers with Silco's past plans or so

That's an awesome interpretation of the poster and now I want to see Season 2 even more!! Thank you, Schnee!!

been waiting for this to drop

Something I feel like should be brought up is how confused and freaked out Vi is about Jinx. And how in the past, it was theorized that Vi also had hallucinations of death loved ones, particularly of Vander in that one scene. It wasn't a particularly evil or paranoid hallucination, but it was her imagining others around her. And in general, Vi feels haunted. the scene of where Vi and Jinx are together in the trailer is a specifically almost ghost-like place. Kind of like the boogeyman guy in princess and the frog. It looks like something or someone lives there. And there's a LOT of images or visuals of Jinx being in the shadows. Vi is haunted by her, because of her trauma with her sister, and being emotionally haunted by someone is a sign of emotional attachment to someone, especially after a breakup or confrontation, you can be still haunted by a loved one you fought with. And while Jinx looks possessive, Vi just looks scared and conflicted. And like she's chasing something that is incorporeal. Jinx looks almost like her own hallucinations in that poster. I think that should be said.

Was waiting for a video from you

Hearing her full reaction was great, so glad you included it!

SCHNEE THERES A NEW TRAILER AND I NEED YOU TO GET ON IT THERES SO MUCH STUFF IVE BEEN ANALYZING AND I JUST WOKE UP AGHHNGKGKGMG

I was waiting for this video from you woooo letsgoooo we are so back!!

Your content is what made me take a chance on watching Arcane, I cant thank you enough. It is wonderful to see thoughtful storytelling in a game based series.

Squircle's reaction to Warwick was amazing! To be honest, my first reaction to the character being introduced into the second season was, "This is awesome." I also fully agree with the analysis over the posters. The only thing I'd like to add on top of the new poster for a potential idea that's echoed within another comment I saw (because I wanted to give that credit and I thought of it too, just less thought out) is that Vi almost looks forced to look in that direction. Maybe as a "look what you did" sort of deal?

The other thing I want to mention is that in the second poster Vi is forced to look at that probably traumatising scene infront of her, Jynx is forcing her to look. But in the first poster Vi is trying to protect Powder but she can still see despite of her protection. Like how Vi couldn't fully protect Powder she couldn't fully stop her from looking.

about the teaser with the monkey painted on vi's back; i feel like that could also be seen as a (literal) target on her back, of which jinx is aiming after. still tied to possessiveness, just more "you've got a target on your back, and *i* will be the bullseye."

7:55 no bc the first thing i thought of was good ol william afton "i always come back 👹👹👹"

New trailer just dropped 👀 can’t wait to hear any further thoughts from you !!

season of opposites is a brilliant fucking name for this video

Ok so the posters... Mad credit to these artists for showing so much emotion in a picture. The season 1 poster, powder's eyes show a mixture of fear and safety (I'm scared of what's out there but I'm safe in these arms) while in the season 2 poster vi's eyes just show blatant fear (I'm scared of these arms around me and I can't do anything about it) while jinx's expression seems over protective like she's saying vi is her's and everyone else is a threat and it's just crazy that the artists r able to convey all this through just the eyes

I've got to say - I LOVE your videos to Arcane, bc they always somehow blow my mind and make me understand everything so much better! It's so interesting! I just love it!

Squircle's reaction was perfect for seeing the emotion of this posture! (Thanks for being vulnerable!) I wish you would have talked about the clues on Vi's face: Vi isn't looking at us, (the audience) she is looking into emptyspace, like she's in shock. Unlike Powder in S1 posture, she is looking directly at us because she feels protected, or safe, SO she can look at us (her inner world is at peace, so she allows herself to be curious about the outside world). Vi is completely overun by the outer world (from what was traumatizing her) AKA Vander/Wolf monster, or possibly she is in shock BECAUSE Jinx, who Vi only sees as distructive, has this protective attribute that Powder demonstrated in S1 E1 S1, (When they found out their parents were dead, Powder comforted Vi). Ya'll said this more or less, and I thoroughly enjoyed listening as always!

Loved the live Squircle reaction.

I CAME OVER HERE AFTER WATCHING THE TRAILER AND HOLY CRAP EVERYTHING IS SPOT ON

The way they kept the lil pink piece of cloth on Vis side from her lol fit
