“MY WIFE AND I”

I watched as the sun crept behind the mountainous Alps. I rose from my chair and returned inside. The windows were still open, I loved how the cool evening breeze caressed my face. The remaining slivers of daylight cascaded through the windows and poured onto our wooden floors. I stood by the door, eyes closed, breathing deeply to savour the sweet air. When I had opened my eyes I was greeted with a kiss from my wife, she was beautiful. Her hair, a deep auburn like the Jarrah trees that surrounded our home. I cupped her face and drew her near, eyes were aglow with a sweetness only she could bring. I embraced her, as I always did. I felt her fingers dance through my hair and finally rest on my neck. I leaned forward causing our floorboards to creak. She lets out a small chortle in response. An icy gust of wind bellows from our windows, causing us to shiver. The sky, no longer cobalt fades into a midnight blue. My wife and I watched as the stars came out from behind the clouds.

context: this was a creative piece i wrote for an assessment in my creative writing unit this semester. i did a sort of portfolio project but this paragraph was among my favourites i have written. part of me wants to build on these two characters and this setting as a whole. maybe i will revisit this some other time, who knows? :)

and of course, it goes without saying. you’re more than welcome to use this as inspiration but where possible credit me if you can / please don’t outright steal or copy original works from artists or creatives alike :(

i sorta agree with this? but there are some things i feel you may have overlooked in your analysis of the pacing.

season one was a slow trainwreck, we knew the outcome from episode one and everything was building up to the inevitable. for me it felt like being in the passenger seat of a car stuck on a train track, you can hear the sound of the gate closing, see the lights flashing, feel the ground shake as the train approaches with no means of getting out. season one was controlled chaos.

season two, had the impossible task of living up to the impeccably high expectations of its fans because of the masterful tragedy they were able to write. this is the aftermath of the train collision, you’re alive but you don’t understand how — everything is a blur, piecing through how everything led up to that point is confusing.

i personally feel that the uneasy action-packed fast pace benefits the story and works thematically for what it wishes to achieve. i write a lot, and as i writer i found some of the decisions arcane’s writing team took to be things i would’ve done had i have been in their shows.

there were times it was too hard to predict anything (especially early on) because of the direction they were going with the story. what they’ve managed to achieve is no easy feat, and writing endings is never easy.

i doubt if there was another season it would lessen the blow, it’s bittersweet that it had to end in just two seasons but i believe they’ve done an excellent job even if the pacing feels a little iffy on its own. as a collective piece, i think it compliments the first season.

Arcane Season 2 ‘s pacing is atrocious and nothing is ever properly followed up. Jinx being the face of Zaun’s revolution? Nothing comes out of it. Ekko trying to find a way to save his community from the Hextech infection and learn more about his efforts of saving Zaun? Dropped and he is absent from Act 2 until reappearing in Act 3. An exploration of Vi’s trauma? Unexplored to focus on her relationship with Caitlyn and Jinx. Caitlyn realizing the error of her ways? Skipped over so she can get with Vi. Viktor’s journey to becoming the Machine Herald out of his own choice? Sped over with Singed doing it for him. Sevika leading Zaun? Skipped over until the end where she is now a council member representing Zaun. Mel got a proper solo arc but her screentime was limited.

Free Palestine.

she is exceptionally cool, i theorise that her level of cool is beyond human and or extraterrestrial comprehension.

if there’s any GILF i aspire to be, it’s her — minus the “asking a minor to suck on your teats in return for consuming their schlong”

other than that, i fuck with her HEAVY 🙂‍↕️

This is, in fact, exactly the kind of pose I would expect an old lady to think is cool

she’s such an incredibly well written character, i love the arc she went on. from banishment to self exile, she may no longer be a passenger in her own story but she is alone in her journey. i trust that she finds her way and carves her own path, remembering to be both the wolf and the fox in order to honour her heritage. after all, she is the last living merdara…

the tragedy of mel, actually. she loses her family twice, she loses her partner, she loses herself, and when she tries to make things right, she becomes the wolf, and sails away with the noxians in the colors of the mother she loved and killed
