The Fact That This Was My Nickname For The Entirety Of My Primary School Years Makes This 1,000 Times

“MY WIFE AND I”

I watched as the sun crept behind the mountainous Alps. I rose from my chair and returned inside. The windows were still open, I loved how the cool evening breeze caressed my face. The remaining slivers of daylight cascaded through the windows and poured onto our wooden floors. I stood by the door, eyes closed, breathing deeply to savour the sweet air. When I had opened my eyes I was greeted with a kiss from my wife, she was beautiful. Her hair, a deep auburn like the Jarrah trees that surrounded our home. I cupped her face and drew her near, eyes were aglow with a sweetness only she could bring. I embraced her, as I always did. I felt her fingers dance through my hair and finally rest on my neck. I leaned forward causing our floorboards to creak. She lets out a small chortle in response. An icy gust of wind bellows from our windows, causing us to shiver. The sky, no longer cobalt fades into a midnight blue. My wife and I watched as the stars came out from behind the clouds.

context: this was a creative piece i wrote for an assessment in my creative writing unit this semester. i did a sort of portfolio project but this paragraph was among my favourites i have written. part of me wants to build on these two characters and this setting as a whole. maybe i will revisit this some other time, who knows? :)

and of course, it goes without saying. you’re more than welcome to use this as inspiration but where possible credit me if you can / please don’t outright steal or copy original works from artists or creatives alike :(

even though i’m writing this as a try to ward off an anxiety attack and existential crisis, i just wanted to speak a few things into the void today.

this message is as much for me as it is for you, or anyone who needs to see this today.

without further ado,

i want to learn to let go. i want to master it to the point where it is as easy as breathing.

i know i’m not quite there yet, and how im feeling today is a testament to that. i’m so tired of feeling so exhausted from doing nothing.

i feel like i’m living my life half awake sometimes. i don’t want to be passive and numb to all the beauty in this world.

i want to learn to let go. i want to perfect it to the point where i don’t even recognise myself doing it.

my time on this earth is too precious, to hold on to the pain that comes with being alive.

my peace of mind is precious. i am precious.

i am loved, i am not difficult to love.

the more i let go, the lighter i’ll feel. the more awake i’ll become. the more i let go, the more i’ll feel.

also;

these are my thoughts on the specific plot threads you feel were neglected — again, i’m not hating or anything. for the most part i agree with your stance on the pacing feeling off, i’m just putting in my two cents.

1. a lot came out of jinx being the face of the revolution actually..? i get the feeling of wanting more but it wasn’t a throwaway plot point for nothing. in times of crisis and oppression under the rule of the kirraman/noxus alliance jinxers looked to jinx as a symbol of hope. she was the image of their rebellion, the undercity was forming factions yes, but for a reason greater than themselves - no more petty squabbles, the enemy is topside. jinx whether intentional or not, made them realise that.

2. ekko needed to save his tree was the catalyst and a necessary step to him encountering the wild rune in order to save the world. if not for his tree dying, ekko would have no reason to step foot in piltover seeking help from jayce of all people. this decision is deliberate. ekko is as responsible for everything happening as jayce is, he is little man — he sent them on that job, he knew jayce as “the boy who didn’t haggle”. i don’t believe that decision was by mistake. this is further confirmed in the alternate reality where jayce and vi are dead, hextech ceases to exist, zaun appears to be independent or at the very least civil with piltover. to save his community he needed to take that leap, and leave a few people behind.

3. ehh, an exploration of vi’s trauma would be nice? but vi isn’t that kind of character. she’s closed off, a fighter, always on guard. not as weathered down as jinx who constantly expresses her internal battle with herself or caitlyn who masks her pain in the facade of control. there’s sprinkles of her trauma throughout the show in both seasons but an entire segment dedicated to it seems like a bold/risky decision from a writers perspective. her relationships with others is what makes her who she is, without them she is nothing/stagnant. she needs people to protect/keep alive or else she’s not living up to her promise — vander’s last wish.

4. caitlyn does realise the error of her ways, again it’s in small tidbits and hidden in the details. she doesn’t just “get with vi” because she wants to, there are moments where you see the gears in her brain turning and she looks uncomfortable or conflicted about what’s happening. sure it’s not explicit and doesn’t take up space in the grand scheme of things, which is what i think you wanted more of. but i promise you it’s there.

5. sevika got done dirty and also not at the same time? she was the character i wish we squeezed more out of. thematically speaking, her journey from henchman to a leader and the face of zaun makes sense and is absolutely perfect in every conceivable way. she evidence of the “old” zaun, one that relied on loyalty, she was there during the revolution, during silco’s takedown and his inevitable fall (sorta). i just wish she found out that jinx killed him so we could see how she would process that. but she deserves to be at that table. i wish we got to see more but i don’t think it’s by mistake either, there’s so much to explore with her, who knows?

Arcane Season 2 ‘s pacing is atrocious and nothing is ever properly followed up. Jinx being the face of Zaun’s revolution? Nothing comes out of it. Ekko trying to find a way to save his community from the Hextech infection and learn more about his efforts of saving Zaun? Dropped and he is absent from Act 2 until reappearing in Act 3. An exploration of Vi’s trauma? Unexplored to focus on her relationship with Caitlyn and Jinx. Caitlyn realizing the error of her ways? Skipped over so she can get with Vi. Viktor’s journey to becoming the Machine Herald out of his own choice? Sped over with Singed doing it for him. Sevika leading Zaun? Skipped over until the end where she is now a council member representing Zaun. Mel got a proper solo arc but her screentime was limited.

chugga chugga choo choo…

yep.

that’s it.

um. ok bye.
