The stewards of the old world are always keen to give you a glimpse of their might... According to legend, the ancients built specialized chambers to seal away false prophets.
The Arcane is waking up.
#arcane#melvik#mel medarda#mel arcane#viktor#viktor arcane#spoilers#arcane spoilers#arcane s2#wake up friends - mel and viktor are doing that thing again#I was mentally out of commission after act 2 but after sitting and thinking about this? season 1 parallels were crazy. but this. is INSANE#by the way - this is nowhere near all of them. i did not include dialogue. this MIGHT be HALF of them. i hit image limit here#at this point i don't know whose fight is gonna be crazier. viktor and jayce's or viktor and mel's lolololol#i support mage on mage violence#okay real talk. why are mel and viktor explicitly paralleled more than basically any other characters#it's bc this is the story of the Arcane literally. they are piltover and zaun's only mages respectively. the Arcane is waking up etc.#the macro narrative is about different kinds of magic rising to power again in a place like piltover/zaun which is a refuge from mages#and it's about how they clash - or work together - because the history of the rune wars is repeating itself#also viktor was a false prophet and mel... may not be#it's because the Arcane speaks through them and the show is about what that means and the consequences

A Different Kind of Magic
a bit of romance and magic, because Stephen may be a Master of the Mystic Arts, but he is sorely lacking in the romance department - by sobeautifullyobsessed
for @doctorstrangeaskblog - loosely based on RP between Stephen and Beauty (OFC). Imagine, if you will, how it was when he finally realized there could be more than friendship between them. Part One.
Stephen stretched his arm atop the sofa back, and the woman beside him nestled against him, humming so quietly that he barely heard her. Humming her satisfaction, and neither one of them needing to speak a word, as he adjusted ever so slightly to the feel of her warmth and her soft presence, pressed close to his side. He closed his eyes, delighting as her dark hair brushed along his jawline, enjoying the newly familiar scent of her shampoo (strawberries and cream, entirely apropos to her sweet disposition), while wondering why he had let himself go so long without allowing anyone to get this close to his heart, in what felt to him now like…forever. How could he have so adamantly denied his need for simple, human affection for so long?
She rested her free hand on his chest, and without a thought, he moved his other hand, to rest atop hers. This is good, he thought, and not for the first time today; this is really, really good, as he cast his mind back to the many days and weeks before, when he tried his utmost to keep her at arm’s length. He realized now that he hadn’t been trying to protect himself as much as trying to protect her; he knew his own history far too well, and the remorse of the pain he’d caused the last woman in his life still prickled his conscience when thoughts of her crossed his mind. He’d have to confess it all to Beauty eventually, as a precautionary tale; he would not, could not, bear to bring the same heartache upon her as his thoughtlessness, selfishness, and arrogance, had brought him to inflict upon Christine.
“I love this part,” she murmured, redirecting his attention to the movie on the screen. Practical Magic, a film that she had called one of her favorites. When he suggested a movie night in the comfort (and privacy) of the Sanctum, she had been quick to suggest a magical pair—and Stephen had agreed readily, not realizing there would be more than magic as a theme. Or rather, a very different magic than what he’d been anticipating.

Ep 3 AU in which Evan succeeded on his death save but lost his arm, so K made him a prosthesis while the group was still on Galamanis
#Teddy is helping :3#Evan's Shadow still has both arms and he is conflicted about that#initially K tried to make a high-tech automail kind of arm but eventually went with something that works and that Evan can actually use#pondering how the K and Evan fight would have been different if he lost an arm instead of died and was resurrected with both arms intact#misfits and magic#misfits and magic 2#mismag 2#misfits and magic 2 spoilers#mismag 2 spoilers#k tanaka#evan kelmp#art#went through multiple iterations on the shading and hatching and screentones but it slowly came together#I began drawing this after they left Galamanis and it looks like they are returning to Galamanis this week lmao#I want to know who the hell L.O. is#I also wonder what would have been the plan if Evan hadn't died#St. Dotto's works like the Galamanis hot springs - amplifying the healing the body already does - so Evan's arm wouldn't have regenerated..

Just who are you, Councilor Medarda?
#i did not like her s2 arc so i am copium and living in s1 painter mel#mel medarda#arcane#my art#i have a LOT of thoughts on her and i wish she remained like. a normal person and not...whatever the magical stuff happened#it didnt develop smoothly enough for me to feel invested and left me just kind of. confused.#& i think that forgetting about Mels painting is leaving a huge interesting level to her character because art as a whole#can be used as a metaphor for the image for others to perceive vs how we perceive it ourselves...so for mel it would be herself#with the others perception being all of piltover. her mother. jayce. vik. lest. they all see her differently and mel herself i think#presents a different woman than what she is inside in favour of being 'diplomatic' and 'moving forward'#anyway thats just me rambling i jsut think there was a lot of melon left to thump in terms of her character#i loathe her trading in her signature colours for her mothers in the end

It never hurt to be careful. The last time Demise caught wind of Dark’s sharp tongue, he’d spent ten years in isolation sealed in a crystal at the bottom of the temple.
Hello everyone! This line (from chapter two of A Dark Among the Lights by @luckylectio over on AO3) has been on my mind for the last year, so I finally sat down and drew it :D
#file name: out of sight‚ out of my mind#alternatively: I'd be better freed#did you know that you can procrastinate on one animation by making an entirely different one?#i checked the various loz games where crystal prisons are used (surprisingly a lot of them) and the physics inside them are weird#sometimes the person inside is floating and other times they're just standing there#so i'm interpreting it as the magic acting however it needs to keep most of their mass somewhat centered#anyway...i have thought far too much about how this event must've played out#was dark summoned to personally get yelled at? or was it like oot where that kind of thing can be done remotely?#was he told how long he'd be imprisoned for? was it the truth? especially considering the local time distortions#or was he just trapped in an endless night wondering if he was going to be forgotten down there forever?#things like that#my art#adatl#dark link#i ran into so many issues trying to export this gif. turns out that large canvas sizes are not ideal for gifs#or even like. medium canvases#it kept dropping frames and was a whole mess before i just shrunk the darn thing. which also reduced the file size by a factor of 9???#i don't understand dimensions

magical cat design
#she uses the celestial cursor to change into this btw its a magical item...magical cats all have some sort of item and the different kinds#have different sources of power. she was given the cursor by shadow who makes them and thats why its themed like her already#being in this form costs a lot of magic energy and she is very weak at least at first..so she can only keep this form for so long which is#usually only when she is fighting or in trouble...it gives her the ability to use magic attacks and prevent her from dying BUT if she takes#too much damage she can be reverted to her normal cat form and be killed so its not completely invincible. it also gives her#game like stats that can be increased. basically it turns her into a video game character#kemono#webcore#sparklefur#sparklecat#y2k#myart#micha#cat world

in praise of the beauty & magic of Stephen's eyes
Six Sentence Sunday
from part two of A Different Kind of Magic
for @doctorstrangeaskblog
…From the first time she had looked into his astonishing eyes—eyes that easily shamed the bluest skies, even with their flecks of green and gold and just a bit of brown, as though his maker thought to leave some small imperfection, which instead only added to their splendor—she had felt drawn to him as to no man in her past. She had been rendered speechless not only by their rare beauty, but by the unfathomable depth of wisdom mixed with sorrow, that she had found in them. And though only a few seconds had passed in the span of that first look, time seemed to have slowed, for it felt long enough for her heart to surge with sudden affection for him, and her soul to vow to find some way to lighten whatever burden must be troubling him. In the folklore of her mother’s people, that phenomenon was called ’the thunderbolt’; Beauty had always scoffed at the colloquialism, but in the midst of it, she understood it’s inescapable truth.
But then he had smiled, and that inexplicable sense of bittersweet had receded enough for the crystal blue of his extraordinary gaze to release her from her stasis. Beauty had been holding her breath without even meaning to, and she had wondered if Stephen had noticed. If he had, he’d been kind enough not to mention it…

merlin au where everyone finds out merlin is a sorcerer and theyre all covering for him from arthur
except arthur already knows??? hes known like. pretty much the whole time. hes been waiting for merlin to tell him himself.
but the longer it goes on the more arthur wonders if its something hes doing? he and merlin are close, arthur considers merlin his closest friend, but maybe arthur has done something to dissuade merlin from trusting him? maybe merlin cant forgive arthur for being uthers son? because arthur has noticed the increasing amount of people covering for his manservant, hes aware everybody ELSE knows
#bbc merlin#merlin bbc#merlin emrys#arthur pendragon#fanfic#this incorporates my personal headcanon that arthur is magic resistant#bc he was conceived through magic he kind of IS magic#but in a different way from merlin#so like magic and spells and shit dont work on him (potions do)#so merlin stopping time in ep1 to save his life...#SURPRISE didnt stop time for everyone#bonus points if everybody else finds out but arthur is the only person merlin ever willing CHOOSES to tell#i have so many merthur headcanons guys

This was an enjoyable read with lots of romance dipped in some darkness, as any good Victorian setting has. There was magic and interesting worldbuilding in a place that is also very known to us.
We follow the perspectives of two characters, Isabela and Thomas, one a spell caster, the other a rune writer. From the start you know how the story is going to end, there’s absolutely no way that it was going to end any differently, but this is one of the stories that the journey is what counts.
The secondary characters are also not left behind, dare I say even stealing the show in some of the scenes. The pacing was a little slow here and there, but it was a cozy read.

I do think character design diversity is important but pls let's not act like the boys in dandadan are diverse when they're all skinny white-skinned generically attractive boys with ONE exception
The point of the post wasn't even so much diversity as it was just character distinguishability. Whether you think Okarun's design is "attractive" or not he still has notably different features and a different build from Jiji, meanwhile Momo and Aira are identical aside from their hair and eyebrows.
And then there's obviously the aliens.


Where the male ones look weird in their base forms and have even weirder transformations, but the one female alien just happens to be a girl with antenna 100% of the time.
This weird need for female characters to be one specific kind of attractive all the time just gets in the way of decent character design.
#i think even the fact that people think Okarun's design is “generally attractive” shows how pervasive this is#because he's MEANT to be the dweeb ass everyman protagonist. he's mid so the mid viewer can project onto him#but because we've spent so long allowing male body diversity we can see multiple different male builds as “conventional” while there's still#only one kind of attractive available to women (and every woman must be it)#jiji is conventionally attractive but he's literally the only one. we are blinded by the fact that every girl is in love with okarun#but hes not good-looking. meanwhile momo is canonically pretty and aira is canonically pretty and vamola is canonically pretty and even#the grandma is canonically pretty#like cmon guys. please#the class president was sort of the bland one but then they put her through magical girl idol transformation and turns out she too is#canonically pretty and build identical to every other girl in the series#dandadan#asks#momo ayase#aira shiratori#jin enjoji#okarun#vamola

If Disney really wants to do something with Doctor Who they should make a Disney Channel style sitcom about Rose’s daughter Mia (from the books) and bring back Billie Piper and David Tennant to be her whacky sci fi sitcom parents
#I thought of this originally as a joke but the more I think about it the more I genuinely want it#it would create new kinds of conflicts for the Doctor and Rose that don’t get in the way of their domestic bliss#and highlight the humor in tryna settle down after living through a sci-fi drama#with super sappy moments about family and parenthood with whacky sitcom aliens thrown in#main homegirl would have a regular human bestie but her love interest would be an alien (not a time lord just a regular alien)#there would be a tardis set but it’s a sitcom set so you only ever see it from like 2 angles#there would be genuine conflict between different characters but the stakes would be like WAAAY smaller#Girl Meets Pete’s World LMAO#doctor who#timepetals#Pete’s world#the doctor#rose#metacrisis doctor#disney channel#sitcom#disney channel shows#I’m thinking like#girl meets world#meets#wizards of waverly place#but sci-fi instead of magic
