Added 2025-02-13 08:50:38 +0000 UTCTopic to be decided. Options:
Take a look at Jinx / Vi relationship
Start formulating Isha as we have some initial information we could use
Janna Lore (although this will be a journey of discovery for me
Brief update of all mini formulations from end of Season 1 live stream
Comments
Most people will probably disagree with me but regarding the Maddie handshake thing, I was not a fan of what they did with Vi in act 1 AT ALL. Her deciding to kill her sister makes no sense to me, at this point Jinx has only killed the city elite (3 of them), enforcers and Silco, these are all people Vi should hate. It’s very weird to me but I guess she just loves Cait that much??

2025-02-16 14:05:30 +0000 UTCI agree it was too soon for a formulation on Isha and would personally have done it after episode 5. But I gotta disagree on your last point since I never felt she lacked character. Even though she doesn’t say words she does a ton of non verbal communication and even uses sign language at some point. As someone with autism this was honestly refreshing and it reminded me of my younger self during periods when I really struggled to say words out loud and depended on nonverbal communication (still do sometimes)

2025-02-15 04:34:34 +0000 UTCCaught up on what I missed of the livestream, and I just want you to know that you had me laughing my ass off during the frame-by-frame analysis, which is saying a lot, considering that scene usually makes me cry lol Also, that part where you talked about Jayce and how, from his perspective, people can be brought back to life (and how that shaped his worldview) was 🤯 I’d never thought about it in those terms before, and I’ve analyzed everything about Jayce a lot... so thank you! And thanks to the person who prompted that discussion (sorry, I don’t remember your name right now 🙏)

2025-02-13 23:27:28 +0000 UTCThinking about this a bit more, I think lets leave 1 - the reason being I want to do a bigger piece on formulating interpersonal relationships but I need to prepare it a bit to make sure I can present it in a palatable way to people who dont have a foundation in CBT formulations. In other words I need to actually vaguely plan something.

2025-02-13 18:53:46 +0000 UTCIt looks like its going to be a small one tonight anyway so we can be flexible with it. Who was the person who mentioned Janna lore in the comments before? Will you be attending? If so then we might spend some time with that - if you arent attending then we will save that for another day.1, 2, and 4 on that list aren't all too dissimilar and i can roll with whatever comes up.

2025-02-13 17:15:47 +0000 UTCI would skip the 3rd one as I think your pretty much aware of all that is relevant to arcane do 2 and 4 and with the time left focus on 1
Last Thing
2025-02-13 17:13:31 +0000 UTCThe first point is probably the most relevant, although I also think it's worth unpacking Vi and Caitlyn's relationship and what's become of it. I haven't looked into Janna lore either, but it's probably worth looking into since it should shed more light on the weight of Vi's cooperation in gassing her own people. The show doesn't really get much into this otherwise

2025-02-13 17:06:36 +0000 UTCI don't know that it's worth starting a formulation on Isha, to be honest. The slightest of spoilers, I suppose, but we barely ever find out anything about her. It's all very speculative. Her primary function is to humanize Jinx, and her secondary is to be a reflection of Powder, allowing Jinx to see her younger self from a different perspective and even step into Vi's shoes. She doesn't really get any characterization outside of that. They even made her mute because that's what works best for Jinx. It's pretty dehumanizing to people with disabilities if you think about it.

2025-02-13 17:01:16 +0000 UTC1 and 4 seem like the best options to me. We can combine 2 and 4, since not much is known about Isha yet. I haven't looked into topic 3, so this will be new to me as well.

2025-02-13 15:26:44 +0000 UTCI think it's too soon now. After S2E5 there will be a lot more material to analyse
