I love how the narrative proves me right; Jinx is and has always been a care giver; on her very first scene she's comforting her older sister, she just never was in the position of strength to allow her to properly care for someone else. People kind of see Jinx, as broken as she is, and all they think of is that she's a bad guy; she's not a bad guy, she's a deeply sad young girl who hasn't been lucky enough to afford what others consider "good". Protect at all cost.
Actually, we did in Convergence but his lore was outdated and he looked and acted too much like Zilean especially in how he interacted with Ekko so Riot decided to make him Singed because letting good, nice people stay that way is boring.
@@theboneman7379 Most of them were basically gacha style spinoffs that couldn`t make up their mind whether they were set in the core universe or Arcane anyways!
@@theboneman7379 The only spinoffs that are important to "Arcane" are "Legends of Runeterra"(Where Vi and Jinx being sisters was finally confirmed after years of fan theories and Jinx`s real name Powder was said by Ekko for the first time, he also hinted he had a crush on Powder before she went crazy)and "Teamfight Tactics" which has an "Into the Arcane" event including Arcane-exclusive tacticians like Silco, Shimmer Lab Singed, Sevika, Vander, Smeech(The Yordle cyborg Chem-Baron from Season 2 who had nonspeaking cameos at Silco`s "assemblies" in Season 1), Renni(The redheaded Chem-Baron woman whose son Jayce accidentally killed with his hammer gun when Jayce and Vi raided the Shimmer factory in Season 1, even though she has a similar name and position to Renata Glasc she`s obviously not because their personalities and motives are totally different, also she`s white and Renata`s black or dark skinned Indian like Sevika) ,Loris(The Enforcer in Season 2 who looks like Vander but even more muscular and with slightly darker hair and skin),Maddie(The Scottish accented Enforcer and the youngest of Caitlyn`s strike force in Season 2, I actually confused her with a grown up Ren in the trailers, my bad)Scar(The Vastayan firelight who`s almost always by Ekko`s side at their base and briefly defects to the Jinxsters, he`s also the only main Firelight confirmed to be a father as opposed to a brother, sister or cousin figure), Steb(The mute fishdude Enforcer from Season 2)and the Arcane versions of champions like Jinx, Ekko, Singed, Caitlyn,Jayce, Heimerdinger, Viktor and Ambessa although they still have their "League" voicelines,Powder and Teen Vi.
About Isha being non-verbal. A possible and most horrifying reason... based on the exhibited care and education in Zaun, About 40 years ago: The Lab I worked had a woman working as a dishwasher. We knew she was in an emotionally abusive marriage. We knew she had two children, a boy and a year younger girl. We knew she had separated. What we didn't know: Rather than have babysitters or daycare, she left the children alone, with only a TV for company. When she was home she changed diapers and fed them, but didn't interact with the children. Think about it, a 5 & 4 year old still in diapers. When it came time for the boy to go to school, 1st grade, he was non-verbal and almost feral, due to a complete lack of interaction with people. The state social worker system finally noticed. They questioned us, but none of us had ever met the children. We learned that in many ways the children were fully intelligent, but estimated to be 2-3 years developmentally delayed. Something we shouldn't have been told, but another sign that the social system was totally overworked and incompetent. The children were removed from her 'care'. So, Isha, alone at that age, might be a product of neglect, more than any disability. It makes me cry to remember
You can find the full vods on his twitch(link in description). The title for episode 6 vod is Arcane SEASON 2 Arc 2 Episode 6, and includes the Ambessa MV as well.
It is unknown how close Vi and Cait got but there were several days or even weeks that happened off screen and writers have stressed that the only rational conclusion is that they are together during that time frame. I don't know if it's officially canon but one writer indicated (either as canon or as his opinion) that their relationship became official in S1E8 when they were lying on Cait's bed between then and the meeting with the council and while there was that hiccup later that same episode, they were together until their clear breakup in S2E3. It seems unlikely that they were together more than a few weeks, though.
One thing I keep thinking about in this episode is that: I don't think Vi would have shown Jinx the same curtesy to go and fine her and tell her Vander is alive and that he needed their help. i think if their roles had been reversed and she had encountered him first. I think she would have tried to help him by her self and left JInx in the dark. That is just a feeling I have. Which shows that Jinx is willing to put their differneces asside to help someone they both loved. And believing that she couldn't make it alone. It is such a beutiful gesture. But that is just my take on it. She might have told Jinx but I don't feel it is her style. She is more the one that wants to do it all alone.
No idea if this will reach you, but you really should take a look at Ghost Hounds even if on your own time. Made by the team that made Serial Experiments: Lain--about trauma, but also the only animated story I've seen to use metapsychology and therapy as a main, integral part of the narrative. Given your referencing of Brecht I think it'd be especially your style.
A topic I'd like the maybe hear on. As shown in the show, are Caitlyn and Vi toxic individuals that are stuck in a cycle of abuse that don't hold themselves or each other accountable for their actions?

Corin Reveck is the name of a father to a champion in the game named Orianna, a neat use of a character that was already in lore but who we never saw.
Actually, we did in Convergence but his lore was outdated and he looked and acted too much like Zilean especially in how he interacted with Ekko so Riot decided to make him Singed because letting good, nice people stay that way is boring.

Beast: Was once a respected man.
Mel: “Step into the light.”
Roses 🥀
Ambessa: IT’S TIME TO FOLLOW ME!!
