Last time I took a look at Arcane season 2's flaws through the lens of someone who loves Jayce & Viktor. But I am not just a jayvik shipper. I'm also an artist and writer myself. So we're back. I thought the last vid was personal, but this time we're digging deep
That's right. This IS a general writing critique
