Thanks so much for your support and for joining me on this journey. I'll definitely be doing it again for Season 2, whenever that releases. Attack on Titan reactions are starting tomorrow but if this is all you came to my Patreon for, thank you very much and I hope you enjoyed the reactions + early access.

Hey, as I just finished watching your analysis on S1 of Arcane, I was wondering if you are planning on reacting/ analyzing S2 of Arcane? :)

Beautiful. Just perfect reaction, perfect discussion. While I can't afford staying in the $20 dollar tier currently, I would like to pay you back for the time you've put into this. Do you have an estimate of how much time this whole project took? I think the best play for me here is to remain a patron (albeit at a lower tier) long enough to give back the average hourly wage in my struggling nation for the amount of hours you worked reacting, discussing, and editing. It's the least I can do. P.S. the only different interpretation I've had in the entirety of this show than you is Sevika's final words to Silco. While affirmation of camaraderie is there, I saw it primarily as a warning. "I won't betray you for a greedy worm like Finn, but he won't be the last." I think she's saying that Silco needs to get his shit back in order and the dream back on track. That if he ever gives up on their shared dream, like maybe she predicted would happen, and a better leader of clearer vision came by, she would leave him just like she did Vander.

I really appreciate the thought mate but you really don’t have to do that, I’m very grateful for the support up until this point but if all you came for is Arcane then that’s totally fine. I have no idea how much time I’ve put into this series so I wouldn’t be able to answer you, haha. It’s been a lot of time, but it’s all been worthwhile for sure. And I’ll continue to think of ways to make Arcane videos in the future as well, somewhat depending on if people like the Jayce one :)

I hope they do, it's a great video, but it's about one of the least popular characters in the show. So it's a leap of faith.

I’ve been doing videos on unpopular characters for years so I’m relaxed about it, this is nothing new to me at all so no worries there. By a good response I just mean that I hope people like it and that a decent amount tell me that they enjoy it.

3:26hours Time to cancel my plans for the day. I'm so deeply excited to watch this again alongside you, and fully expect to get much more out of it because of your insight.

I think the most important thing to take away from the talk with Jayce and Silco. Is that Silco thinks Jayce is "tipping his hand" because he's afraid of Zaun. Silco thinks everything he's built up to has panned out. But then the whole subversion is that yes, Jayce is indeed afraid, and wants to push this peace, but not for the reason Silco thinks. Jayce is afraid FOR Zaun, and it's actually Jayce's compassion and sympathy that is causing this deal to happen. Which I kind of find ironic. This just makes Jayce's character that much more special. In a world where two sides are fighting each other in a race to see who can "outscare" the other and who can become a bigger monster to stay "safe" in their own eyes. A young boy who's motives have maybe been the most pure of ANYONES in the show, is finally the one who sticks to his guns and uses "hextech to help others." and he involuntarily did. He made himself strong enough through hextech to be able to demand these things of Silco and create peace. Now of course, outside the confines of that conversation, it gets a bit more complicated. Silco would have never given Jinx up, and Jinx did what she did, but that doesnt change Jayce's motives, and what kind of person that reflects upon him. All in all, I thank you for your immense dedication to unpacking this show, and I'm so happy you shined a light on a character that I think many of us on surface level wrote off as simply being someone who got manipulated by everyone and never had any conviction of his own. I can now see that Jayce absolutely was a lot more than that to many people.

Will we have access to the Jayce Talis video at some point if we're not a $15 patreon sub at some point?

It will be public on YouTube this upcoming Friday!
