Your enthusiasm and unbridled joy while watching the episodes is such a wonderful thing to watch. Seeing the unfiltered love for every element; characters, design, music... is a showcase on how to be truly yourself in your enjoyment of something.
This show loves it's cuts to contrasting scenes. Adorable scene between Vi & Caitlyn -> Jinx being tortured & mutated Death of a child -> Caitlyn shower scene I truly didn't think I could go from tearing up to blushing so fast 😂 Loved your reaction & analysis by the way I think yours is one of my favourite Arcane reaction series I've watched on youtube, I'm excited to see more :)
I really enjoy “hold on, hold on, hold on” and “oh God, oh God, oh God”. So much fun to see someone so enthusiastic and perceptive watch this for the first time.
My spouse pointed out something with Vi and Cait. They are both kind of 'princesses' of Piltover and Zaun. Caitlyn's the daughter of a consouler and one of the great houses of piltover. Vi is Vander's daughter and protege the man who basically ran all of the undercity for years. And in the undercity that's about as close to royalty as you get.
20:57 I, for one, love that you take your sweet time to take in every single aspect that happens in one scene with such genuine and emotional approach. We also do enjoyed it as much as you do by watching you react. Edit: (It think I commented this before, but I just wanted remarked it cuz it keeps surprising every time and why you are one of my fav reactors out there. I don’t even know if I’m using the right words haha but keep doing what you do, bud. It’s amazing.)
Just came across your channel & I'm enjoying your astute observations. Don't feel bad about replaying scenes! I too got completely bamboozled at how much I love Caitlyn & Vi's interactions.
The way Vi grabbed Caitlyn's hand after the cheek touch and the look in her eyes, that's the look of someone who's been touch starved. 🥺 Also, Amanda Overton the Head Writer of Arcane has said Vi isn't the first woman Caitlyn has invited into her room. 😏
Definetly with her been in prison since she was in her teens, Vi probably had little to no personal connection for nearly a decade it's so sad. Yeah her mum didn't seem particularly suprised, well after bursting in with a loaded gun.
Yes touch starved is such a good way to put it! "Amanda Overton the Head Writer of Arcane has said Vi isn't the first woman Caitlyn has invited into her room." ... Wait what? hahaha really?
A fan commented that Cassandra Kiramann reaction was the same of a parent who had already found her daughter sneaking a girl in her bedroom. Then Amanda Overton replied that there was something familiar in the way Cassandra looked at them but then I think people exaggerated and started picturing Cait as a womanizer.
I always interpreted Caitlyn asking "what about us?" As more of a counter point to Vi saying topside and bottom are oil and water. As if to say, "I'm from topside and your from bottom, but we get along well. Sure it was rough at the start, but we figured it out. I think our cities could do the same."
An interesting detail I noticed about the Oil & Water scene: Vi's jacket is the exact same colors as Caitlyn's umbrella in her rain scene with Jayce in episode 2 And the similarities don't end there! Jayce was brought before the council, and their decision did not go his way, so he went out in the rain to reach out for help but was rejected by someone who covered herself from the rain and walked away. Now Cait is brought before the council, and their decision does not go her way, so she goes out in the rain to reach out for help but is rejected by someone who covers herself from the rain and walks away Then what happens? Jayce went somewhere private and decided to give up and end it all, only to be interrupted by a surprise guest from the undercity. Whereas Cait goes somewhere private and decides to NOT give up and to go after what she wants one more time, only to be interrupted by a surprise guest from the undercity
I think people sometimes forget that Powder’s monkey bomb is responsible for Singed’s current disfigurement. (And Sevika’s missing arm too). So it doesn’t surprise me that Singed is taunting Jinx and is somewhat sadistic while operating on her.
@ClaudieTV Oh yes, I'm talking more on the lines of 'what? I thought she had a thing for Jayce', which is a real take I've seen. And I'm like, surely no-one can be that dense, then I remember we voted to leave the EU, so.
Looking back at this episode after watching season 2, I noticed that Ambessa's line "Kill her now and only one must die. Let her live and you may need to kill thousands." Has parallels (idk if thats the right word) to season 2 episode 7 where we see that if Vi died in the explotion everyone else got to live. But in our world, she lived, so many more ended up dying. Its really cool how we get to see that. Great reaction btw!
Your ability to express emotions and feelings in a simple but yet comprehensive manner is awesome... Watching this show again and again, catching my breath at every frames even though I know what coming next. But... here you are.. able to express the emotions, the complexity of this show. I can't do that .... For that, I thank you! Looking forward your next endeavours.
35:45 well.. you can kinda think about the Caitlyn Vi relationship as a metaphor for the relationship between piltover and zaun so in a way you are still correct here!
To point out something I don't think I've seen mentioned, I don't look at Jayce and Mel as rushed. Keep in mind, the met when Powder and Vi are still kids with Vander, and the first interaction they have together is Mel giving Jayce a chance, After the time jump, Mel mentions only one person is worth her time, then Jayce comes to her for advice, and there are clear signs this isn't the first time. The familiarity, might seem overly forward, until you remember, Jayce is asked what it's about and says its Heimerdinger, and Mel says "When is it not" indicating a longer relationship. Still not as compelling as Vi/Cait but maybe not so rushed.
Shimmer is not a mined substance. Shimmer is a chemical drug which was originally created by Singed, the scientist who works for Silco. He created it by using chemicals from the mutation present in Rio, the big axolotl dragon thing that he had in the Viktor flashback. The manufacturing plant is not a mine. It's a production plant, where ingredients are combined together to mass-produce the drug.
You know what they say about lesbians and moving fast. Cait babe you've only known her for two days and you're stewing in the shower over her saying you weren't meant to be? Love them though.
It's like Elijah aka Not So Average Fangirl says in her reaction to this Episode: "We gays are so dramatic, we'll have a breakup without ever having been officially together!"
Lil' comment to help your algo! Have binged all your content and again, nice job with such fine/detailled analysis/react! In a previous comment I has giving you some info for more arcane related content. Keep in mind you may also use them for some more reacts, would be pretty interesting I guess. And that would then do a pretty nice "package" for your Arcane "venture"... 🙂 Without having any clue of what type or content you plan for your channel, one thing come to mind mind right now; if you haven't seen it already, you may want to have a look to another animation banger from another french animation studio (not Fortiche this time) called "Blue Eye Samourai". Mature stuff, pretty sure you could like it and good content for react too!
Thank you so much for watching! Great to have you here :) Sure 100%, thank you! I'm looking for some more things to react to after Arcane, I'll definitely check it out, and if it looks cool, I'll add it to the list :) Thank you so much!
It seems like you kind of skimmed over it, but something that really broke me was the *look* on Vi's face (especially the eyes) after Caitlyn shows her support by comforting Vi when she is at her most vulnerable. That *look* is one of the most well done facial expressions of the series in my opinion.
I've been binging your reactions all afternoon so I'm not sure if it's this episode you asked what Heimerdinger is? While I don't play League of Legends, (and the general consensus is that no one should) from what I've gathered from the lore, the game universe consists of 5 realms. Arcane takes place in a realm called Runeterra. Heimerdinger is a being called a Yordle, and they come from the Spirit Realm. When a Yordle 'dies' it just disappears and rematerialises back in the Spirit realm meaning it's nearly impossible for one to actually die. So while Heimerdinger is over 300 yrs old, that's only this incarnation of him. I don't know enough about the lore to know how much of their previous lives memories Yordles retain, but it's possible when he was warning about the dangers of using magic, he could be recalling events from 1,000's of years prior. As for if there's an alphabet for the writing, anything that's meant to be read will be in legible English. All the other markings you see are runes that Hextech uses to channel the arcane/magics. That's why Viktor is cutting those symbols into his flesh.
The Doctor....Singed pretty much re-wrote Jinx's DNA giving her an Experimental Shimmer Variant, so he turned her into a Super Human essentially, Super Speed,more agile,stronger,higher endurance,higher tolerance to pain. Completely altered her. Silco who could not lose Jinx,he loves her to his own detriment at this point,only wanted Singed to Save his daughter. The very thought Silco losing Jinx,scares him. I think Silco would do anything for Jinx, including giving up his and Vander's life long dream of a Free Zaun if the cost was Jinx, He would choose Jinx.
love how the episodes get progressively longer as the spiral over the girls and the show gets more intense, so real fkskj looking like that meme at 14:40 😂 these videos have me laughing, the analysis is on point, just 🤌🏼
2:00 the painting of the Blood Trail on the wall ABOVE YOUR BED. O.o I assume, u recognized that detail? 48:41 oil and water doesn't mix. But blood and water do.
24:13 Heimerdinger (and anyone you see who is furry and small) are called Yordles. They live exceptionally long lives, especially in the lore where they are thought to be immortal (since they don't age or die like other creatures, but simply revive back to their hometown). There are other animalistic humanoids creatures, they are called Vastaya. Separate from humans and yordles.
Councilor Kiramann has DEFINITELY caught Cait sneaking girls into her room before lmao.
Vi can't look at Caitlyn during their breakup; she knows her resolve will crumble.
Very true!
Your enthusiasm and unbridled joy while watching the episodes is such a wonderful thing to watch. Seeing the unfiltered love for every element; characters, design, music... is a showcase on how to be truly yourself in your enjoyment of something.
This is so sweet! Thank you so much for this lovely comment! 🥰
"I know Jinx is the villain, but I adore her." Welcome to the fandom.
🤣👌
My favorite is Mel's mom Ambessa. I absolutely cannot judge.
@@aterwilliger Absolutely understandable. She has presence.
@@aterwilliger Got a good taste in men to be fair too 👀
This show loves it's cuts to contrasting scenes.
Adorable scene between Vi & Caitlyn -> Jinx being tortured & mutated
Death of a child -> Caitlyn shower scene
I truly didn't think I could go from tearing up to blushing so fast 😂
Loved your reaction & analysis by the way I think yours is one of my favourite Arcane reaction series I've watched on youtube, I'm excited to see more :)
Yeah me too, I get so lost in it, then BAM, Jinx pops up 🤣
Ah thank you so much! That's so sweet! 🤗
I really enjoy “hold on, hold on, hold on” and “oh God, oh God, oh God”. So much fun to see someone so enthusiastic and perceptive watch this for the first time.

That is so interesting! Wow! Never looked at it like that before and that is such a cool take on it! Thank you for that!
"I'm off to sample the local cuisine." What a line. Also, when I saw the runtime for this video, I immediately knew why.
Yeah I get it tbh lol 😉
20:57 I, for one, love that you take your sweet time to take in every single aspect that happens in one scene with such genuine and emotional approach. We also do enjoyed it as much as you do by watching you react.

Ah thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
Reminded of that little nod between Caitlyn and her mother has me sniffling now....
Yeah it's a super lovely detail!
i love your passion for caitvi! it's nice to see someone feel strong feeling for them just as i do. your reactions are awesome!
Just came across your channel & I'm enjoying your astute observations. Don't feel bad about replaying scenes! I too got completely bamboozled at how much I love Caitlyn & Vi's interactions.
Thank you so much! Haha that's good to hear! So funny to me how I can turn a reaction video into something longer than the episode hahaha
The way Vi grabbed Caitlyn's hand after the cheek touch and the look in her eyes, that's the look of someone who's been touch starved. 🥺
Also, Amanda Overton the Head Writer of Arcane has said Vi isn't the first woman Caitlyn has invited into her room. 😏
Definetly with her been in prison since she was in her teens, Vi probably had little to no personal connection for nearly a decade it's so sad.
Yeah her mum didn't seem particularly suprised, well after bursting in with a loaded gun.
Yes touch starved is such a good way to put it!
"Amanda Overton the Head Writer of Arcane has said Vi isn't the first woman Caitlyn has invited into her room." ... Wait what? hahaha really?
Yeah very true! Her mum looked at her like 'oh not again' haha
A fan commented that Cassandra Kiramann reaction was the same of a parent who had already found her daughter sneaking a girl in her bedroom.

As if to say, "I'm from topside and your from bottom, but we get along well. Sure it was rough at the start, but we figured it out. I think our cities could do the same."
Yeah maybe, I still see it as a what about us, when are we going to see each other again, but yes the double meaning of that line is quite brilliant
@michaeldumaup5368 I interpreted it the same way as you did, but then Vi says "wasn't meant to be" and it sounds more in a romantic way
An interesting detail I noticed about the Oil & Water scene:
Vi's jacket is the exact same colors as Caitlyn's umbrella in her rain scene with Jayce in episode 2
And the similarities don't end there! Jayce was brought before the council, and their decision did not go his way, so he went out in the rain to reach out for help but was rejected by someone who covered herself from the rain and walked away.

Whereas Cait goes somewhere private and decides to NOT give up and to go after what she wants one more time, only to be interrupted by a surprise guest from the undercity
Ooo that's such a good observation! Wow I would never have noticed that! Thank you for pointing those out
I think people sometimes forget that Powder’s monkey bomb is responsible for Singed’s current disfigurement. (And Sevika’s missing arm too). So it doesn’t surprise me that Singed is taunting Jinx and is somewhat sadistic while operating on her.
Very true yes!
You wouldn't believe how many reactors are surprised by the 'what about us line'. Like it came out of nowhere or something.
It just caught me so off guard! I knew they had something together, but just to say it! I was like 👀
@ClaudieTV Oh yes, I'm talking more on the lines of 'what? I thought she had a thing for Jayce', which is a real take I've seen.
And I'm like, surely no-one can be that dense, then I remember we voted to leave the EU, so.
my caitvi brainrot brought me here 🧐
Well... welcome aboard the Caitvi train. Lovely to have you here 🥰
3:14 LMAOOO that noise you made
Looking back at this episode after watching season 2, I noticed that Ambessa's line "Kill her now and only one must die. Let her live and you may need to kill thousands."

Its really cool how we get to see that. Great reaction btw!
Well hello there favourite new channel😊 Love ur reactions and analysis, can't wait to watch the rest of the series with you. Subbed!
Ah thank you so much! Great to have you here with us!
@@ClaudieTV Glad to be here, thanks! :)
I’m glad I’m not the only one worried about the dirty clothes on the clean bed 😭😭
🤣👌
And Vi even has her shoes on and is turned with them to Caitlyn's pillows 😭
@@alzbetaulicna4780 I 👏 KNOW 👏 no ma’am Pam
Thanks for bringing "besotted" back.
You are more than welcome haha 🫡

Thank you so much, such a kind comment :)
Hii yesterday I see all your videos and love it. I share the channel with my gilrfriend😊
Greetings from Argentina. Enjoy the show.
Ah, that's so cute! Thank you for watching, awesome to have you here 🥰
Did you notice the painting on the wall behind Mel after the flashback when she was young? Talk about Trama!!!!!
35:45 well.. you can kinda think about the Caitlyn Vi relationship as a metaphor for the relationship between piltover and zaun so in a way you are still correct here!
Scene flashes to Jinx
*actual storm rolls in*
🤣🤣🤣
“…last episode was my favorite so far…” began about episode 3. Has been repeatedly said since. Yes, me too. 🙂
I love the reaction, subbed!!!
🥰

"she's not no I'm not even going to accept it"
Makes you part of a very big club. I envision fan badges with this message. = )
👌
You know what they say about lesbians and moving fast. Cait babe you've only known her for two days and you're stewing in the shower over her saying you weren't meant to be? Love them though.

Yeah that shower scene was something else huh hahaha! 😂 I love them too!
🤣🤣
"Is Jinx there!? I should watch the whole shower scene again to check!"
Ssssh don't expose me like that 😉
love your reactions! :)
Thank you 🥰 Love you being here
Silco loves her.... You can see that even if he has those 2 huge brutes with him on the bridge... he is the one to lift and carry her 💙
Absolutely!
16:19 😂
🤣
Lord I cannot WAIT for your reaction to season 2.

Oh don't worry I noticed that haha, just may have cut it out in the edit, as I was cutting it down. The animation in this is so wonderful!
I've been binging your reactions all afternoon so I'm not sure if it's this episode you asked what Heimerdinger is?

Heimerdinger - Perfect! Thank you for this bit of info, helps me understand a lot!
ALphabet - Gotcha ok! yes makes sense with Viktor!
The Doctor....Singed pretty much re-wrote Jinx's DNA giving her an Experimental Shimmer Variant, so he turned her into a Super Human essentially, Super Speed,more agile,stronger,higher endurance,higher tolerance to pain.

I can't wait till you get to next season, but with how much you replay the gay one episode might take you hours to get through.
I'll section out the entire afternoon if that's the case 🤣
love how the episodes get progressively longer as the spiral over the girls and the show gets more intense, so real fkskj looking like that meme at 14:40 😂 these videos have me laughing, the analysis is on point, just 🤌🏼
By the time I get round to season two I'll be having to section out my entire afternoon per episode lol
Thank you so much btw 🥰
@ClaudieTV The only possible course of events after getting your brain chemistry altered, just take your time lmao
wait til u watch season 2 :D
2:00 the painting of the Blood Trail on the wall ABOVE YOUR BED. O.o
I assume, u recognized that detail?
48:41 oil and water doesn't mix.
But blood and water do.
Yeah did recognise that too when editing!
Yes it does... is that a hint for season two, you mean...?? 👀
24:13 Heimerdinger (and anyone you see who is furry and small) are called Yordles. They live exceptionally long lives, especially in the lore where they are thought to be immortal (since they don't age or die like other creatures, but simply revive back to their hometown).

Ah gotcha ok :)
Hey Claudie, do you think 37:10 comment was right? It survived all the blows. 😌
Damn haha forgot I said that!
"Oil and water" was about top and bottom...just not the cities. 😁
Now now... 🤣
spoiler warning... there was no storm, it was all emotions manifesting
