Takes are my own. Obsessed with Jinx psyche & Arcane's animation ✨ Deep-dives into micro-details. Also doing threads, edits, reviews & Analysis on YT 💬
So I upscaled the
#Jinx
clip in 4K and made it 100 fps and as usual with Fortiche, there's always more to uncover than what we'd think! Here's a thread of the improvement and things I caught in the animation or micro-details, along with observations and blue blue thoughts :
Timeskip confirmed cause those hair eyebrows and eyes are clearly Ren's (Marcus daughter)👌 Oh god I think us theorizing abt her taking revenge on Jinx was not just theory
If I saw this in my city I think I'd just... Steal it for my living room. Be a criminal. Live hidden all my life who cares. I'll have a giant beautiful Jinx Arcane poster on top of my sofa it would all be worth it.
It is so interesting and cute that Jinx is ''going to war'' wearing her pink paint and that hoodie with teeth like when she played with Ekko. She's not trying to kill ''Powder'' anymore, she's embracing that old side of her when she wanted to get rid of it so much in S.01. Also
They did the texture and shadowing/lighting on her skin so well that in that position we can even see her ribs show up, the accuracy is insane I'm sick with this show

Ever wonder why Jinx said "No" when Ekko was hitting her? Her mind was re-experiencing the trauma of being hit by a loved one. She's even still stuck in it for a moment after he'd stop. As a primary reflexe, she said the same thing that came to her mind the 1st time. 🥲👌

Jinx is blinding Vi like a child to mock her, like she thinks Vi is too "weak" to see things as they truelly are : monstruous and ugly. She's turning the tables around since Vi was probably the one to tell her to cover up her eyes on the bridge when they were kids.
Can we talk about how they're litteraly in air ducts and it's SO FANCY? There's GOLD FOR IRON and golden pipes and golden air pressure controlers and Ekko can almost fully STAND ? Their ducts are fancier and larger than Zaun's homes.
Vi telling Jinx she spent countless nights in the dark wishing to get back to her, and Jinx turning on the light for her - with a cocky smile saying "here you go, I'm here now, do you still want me around ?" 💔👌
#arcane
I love how they initially wanted to make a scene with Powder being taken away on an aircraft all screaming and crying but they let go of it and now Powder is making a badass come-back on an aircraft👊💥
#Arcane
So I have a theory 👆 Since this is clearly Sevika's arm cause too small to be Fishbones and we've seen in the trailer that she'lll fight the yordlle with it, WHAT IF Jinx is actually so broken after Silco's death that her attachment issues transfered to Sevika? 🥲
Claggor was too frustrated by Powder messing things up but was mature enough not to say a thing about it, because he probably too has been in her shoes when he was little. He knew she was just a kid and that it was normal for her to make mistakes, and Powder probably knew it-
So I been sittin on this post for 2 years cause didn't want to bring more pain but.. Vi was actually crying her eyes out but Powder was so caught up in the demons she was seeing that the only thing she remembered was Vi grinding her teeth + angry face and her PTSD emphasized it✌️
They changed Arcane's thumbnail on Netflix again and I ALMOST HAD A BLOODY HEART-ATTACK bro stop reversing frames and stuff my brain is already overheating it can't take no more I'm begging, am tiiired 🥹
We don't talk enough about Jinx's shimmer eyes. In the early hours after the surgery her eyes were almost only shimmer, like she was entirely controled by it. In the tea party scene on the other hand, it has merged into her eyes : the pupils could be clearly seen 🥲 1/2

Just sharing my research before logging off: what Jinx has on her finger could be a finger armor (guard), which is very commun in the steampunk aesthetic! When she shoots that finger is the one rubbin against the gun so at risk of bein swollen or hurt so she must be protecting it
Did a Jinx details edit for her hair animation, mostly her bangs & loose strands! I have a soft spot for the work that was done on her hair so I really hope I gave it justice ☺️🫶💜 Watch the 4K on computer for a better experience~! ✨️🧑💻
In the French version Ekko says "sometimes moving on means leaving a part of oneself behind". He IS talking to Jinx for sure, and since he's clearly not meaning abandoning "Powder", the moment she cuts her hair or takes off the X of her laces is perhaps gonna be around him
Ok so can we talk about how Jinx made herlsef cristal coloured strings just like the ones from Benzo's shop or are we still pretending she doesn't care about her past with Ekko ? 🙂💔👌

So I think Jinx was defintely having some kind of crisis with the shimmmer in her body that was hurting her and making her weak that's why she couldn't fght back at first and the guy brings up her eyes and tells her ''you must be part ill''.
Hi~ So her's a little thread about the use of camera angles in Arcane and how much hidden storytelling Fortiche has been telling with them, such as timelapse Powder being implied or Jinx's duality, or the viewers becoming her demons💬

Ekko seem to have Jinx's signature on his chest and he really has his hair-clip painted I thought it was just for the promo poster but he really has it I'm wheezing
#arcane
Yo I just realized the voice in Jinx's head says "STAB IT" when she's taking a pose on stabbing her leg and after hearing it Jinx goes straight back at her leg and stabs it angrily as she holds the pain in. I AM DONE. with this show
#arcane
Jinx couldn't care less abt Silco's dream of the Undercity, she didn't believe Zaun could be saved and thinks the situation is irremediable anyway. Everything she did was just out of her need for love & acceptance, even the rocket she fires at the end, was out of rage and loyalty
Hi~ So I finally started analyzing the latest official promos once I got back from Annecy and I've found some interesting stuff as well as 2 new frames that weren't shown in the trailer [a thread]🧐🧵

Vi's tattoo is the gears that control the elevator going down to the Undercity, we could see it in the 2021 Show Premiere. Living in the Undercity is her first trauma. The smoke is linked to her family's death in episode 3.
#arcane
EXCUSE ME THE CAPTIONS HELLOO??? SINCE WHEN??
#timebomb
fans am I delusional here no cause all the other captions match so it doesn't look automatically generated, they litteraly wrote I love you for the Timebomb part and end scene where Silco gives Jinx acceptance 🧐
"When you see one second of an episode, an animator spent a day on it. So if you work on an expression, on a feeling, on a shot… you're going to spend a day having that feeling in your mind."
Watch the animators inhabit the characters:
She was barely listenning to her. Her eyes were widening then her head tilting to one side then the other like she was thinking "that one seems so real" - she was truelly believing Vi was an hallucination before she hugged her and reality started hitting her.
If even the firelights seem to have put their faith in Jinx, so you're telling me we might actually have Ekko forgive her and team up with her too? It's so much more that I wished for I'm gonna be such a mess watching this 🥹

Little Timebomb crumb I found : so while making my Jinx details edit for her workshop I took better notice of this scene in 4K and realized something.

So what if that heartbraking thing at end of Seazon 2 is Vi not being able to remember her name nor the fact she's her sister and there would be a scene where she calls Powder JINX again
I will never get over the fact Jinx was so relaxed around Ekko that her little belly pop out when her stomach was so tensed in every other scenes in which it SHOULD have done that 🥲👌
