You think Force wielders can hear that Force "whoosh" or is that purely for the audience?
I think if you’re moving air that’s gonna make a noise but I’m open to using Rule of Funny.

viktor arcane has to be one of the characters ever.
he's gay. he's terminally ill. he's suicidal. he's from league of legends. he's in a toxic relationship with an orb. he also might be the orb(???). he bullshitted his way into the academy by pretending he went there. he rizzed up a guy so he wouldn't kill himself. he then tried to impress said guy by breaking into his boss's lab. then when he got caught he tried to play it off by saying he thought this big intimidating door was his bedroom door and he was just trying to sneak a guy in there. he nearly died because hetero sex was happening like a mile away. kinda. he took illegal drugs. he's also the apprentice of the guy who's making the illegal drugs and never mentions it. he's inspired off of the tale of frankenstein's monster. he got shot by a missle and fucking died. when he came back to life he immediately broke up his messy gay situationship and became jesus fucking christ.
truly one of the characters of all time
EDIT cause i made this pre-act 2:
he started a cult. his ex came back from purgatory and shot him straight through the fucking chest. he got revived by his illegal drug making mentor using mutant furry blood. he turned everyone into fucked up magic robots. he got neutered by magic orb. he fought with his ex and choked him freaky style. a time travelling guy threw an orb at him and then he found out he and his ex were inextricably bound in every universe and timeline. then they went to super heaven.

i hate when ppl act like the only reason to not like a "sad" ending is because you can't take it or whatever. personally as a tragedy enjoyer, i hate a poorly written ending. i hate an ending that is just kind of a bummer. i hate an ending that feels mean-spirited to the audience. i hate an ending that's redundant. i love a sad ending that is thematically consistent, poignant, and bespoke to the rest of its narrative.

You actually do need noble lineage to rightfully rule, but since lineage doesn’t dilute, and given the historic sexual tendencies of people in power wrt their servants, eventually noble lineage spread wide enough that everyone had it and that’s why democracy happened.

do you think viktor refuted the idea of choice because time and time again, he had the agency of choice removed from him?
what if you were meant to die but were brought back to life against your will by the very thing you made your partner promise to destroy? what if you had a chance at peace, only for it to blow up through an unforeseen act of terrorism, powered by the very technology you had a hand in creating? what if you had a chance to make amends, to put an end to needless pain and suffering, only to be betrayed and have your heart ripped out by the very man you once called your partner?
what if despite your best intentions, things always happen out of your control: people will make weapons with Hextech. you will be used as a tool of the Arcane, all for conquest and the greed of warmongers.
what if “choice is false” is the only ideological conclusion to all the times you’ve tried time and time again to hold onto your humanity and do good, only to have it be corrupted by forces out of your control? because nothing you choose matters, because humans are emotional, and irrational, and flawed. what then?

Would you use them like shurikens or them in your fist like a knuckle duster? (I. These things the objects are always way more sturdy that it should be normal)
I think I would just like to shoot beams out of my sunglasses. Hopefully without any kickback, I have an achy neck as is.

These really know nothing about the things they complain about. (Also of course they are a AI idiot.)
"Allegory" quick question how the fuck do you think his pod crashing into Kansas from space was a legal immigration? You think the Kents took him to an ICE office? They forged that paperwork. There's no allegory here, that's literally what he is.

The only reason Musk can still appear as a semi competent bussiness man is that he already have such an ungodly amount of money that he can afford to fuck up in the most egregious ways without it actually affected his personal wealth all that much. And to the eyes of his boot lickers, that looks like success.
Exactly.

Cracks me up that Vi looks and acts like she's the most fucked up one in the room but when it comes down to it her mental breakdowns are actually the most tame. Sure she beat the shit out of a bunch of people in her descent into alcoholism and psychotic depression, but at least she didn't blow up Parliament, become a fascist dictator, or try to assimilate the world into a magical hive mind. She might be strangling her sister and dissociating her way through what looks like entire weeks but at least she doesn't have a body count.
