Justice and redemption in Arcane

First of all, I would like to declare that I really enjoyed watching Arcane. I had fun, the characters are great (although I probably wouldn’t want to make friends with most of them), the artwork is simply brilliant, and the story was entertaining. But.

I am not happy with how Arcane handles the topics of change, justice, and redemption. This is mostly because what it says on the surface level about these topics is in stark contrast with what the narrative tells us.

TLDR: On the surface, Arcane tells us that it is never too late to change, repent, make amends, and start working for a better future. In contrast, the characters who have sinned but wanted to make amends all died.

Arcane s1 was brilliant because it set up a world where characters had VERY limited room to manoeuvre. Of course, this was partly limited by their own nature, but they had very little wiggle room to start with, due to the system around them being extremely limiting. The season felt like watching a car wreck in slow motion: you know it will blow up in your face, but you cannot look away.

In s2 (and partly already in s1), characters realised that the way things are sucks and they need to change. This is what I call the surface-level message of the show: the characters finally started to care for other people, changed themselves, tried to change the world and save their city – because it is never too late to change, and the city can be saved. And the city was saved. So all is good in the end. Right?

Wrong.

Because all those characters who made the biggest mistakes die. Let’s see.

Vander: Not sure about his role in the first rebellion, but he did try to kill his kind-of-brother at one point. Even though he then became a father to two orphans and a pivot to his community, he was killed fairly early on (and then two more times – ouch).

Silco: He was a crime boss and quite a ruthless person, all in all. He told himself that he did everything to free Zaun, but when he was offered everything he ever wanted, he was ready to turn it down for Jinx, his daughter, the only person he really loved unconditionally. He was ready to leave all the shit behind and start over with Jinx. But then he saw Vi and Cait, he lost his temper, and got himself killed – by Jinx.

Heimerdinger: He was there from the founding of the city, and he stood by as things went to shit over the course of 300 years. By the time he realised he had messed up, there was no easy way out. He decided to help, did his best, and then gave his own life to let Ekko return home.

Jayce: He was an idealist, he wanted to make the world a better place BY creating Hextech (that is to say, he wanted to create hextech). In order to do that, he let himself be manipulated by Mel, and each bad decision led to another. Later he realised it was wrong to try and force Hextech on the world, he wanted to undo the damage, and he confronted Viktor, eventually disappearing from the world. Whether he died or not, he will no longer be part of the community of this universe.

Viktor: More than anything, he wanted to end suffering. For the most part, he wanted to live longer so he can create a cure for other people. When he became Cyborg Saviour, ending all suffering remained at the core of his cult. He just forgot that suffering, or at least the possibility of suffering is closely tied to being able to feel joy, and unfortunately one cannot exist without the other. (I would not have minded if Jayce hadn’t said that “there is beauty in imperfections”, considering that Viktor had lived his life in pain and had a short life-expectancy to start with, all as a direct consequence of the privileged half of the city poisoning the less privileged. For reference, see the time in X-men when the lady who can make rain tells “we need no cure” to the girl who kills everyone with a touch. But I digress.) After Jayce reached him, Viktor repented, fixed as much of the damage as he could, then disappeared from the universe alongside Jayce.

Jinx: Jinx did some shit. She killed several people, both directly and indirectly. She very directly killed her second stepdad (Silco) and blew up the Council. But then she met Isha, managed to rebuild her family, played a prominent role in saving the city, and finally saved Vi – just to be killed alongside Vander (who was dying for the third time at that point).

Now let’s see those people who did some horrible things but did NOT end up dead:

Mel: Mel’s people were the privileges, and she was all about power plays. She manipulated Jayce into pushing Heimerdinger out of the council, made him allow the corruption of the council members continue undisturbed, let him create Hextech (which led to horrible consequences) – then discovered the truth of her origins and used her power to defeat her mother (and tackle the political side of the last problem).

Cait: Cait was most interested in keeping up law and order. She was very young and quite inexperienced, which made her an easy target to manipulation. Albeit lawfully “elected”, she became a dictator and declared martial law on Zaun. In the end, her love for Vi was strong enough to turn her against Ambessa, whom she recognized as a force against the autonomy of Piltover. Through that fight, she became an essential player in saving the city.

Ekko: Not sure how many people did he kill during his Firefly raids, but his real focus was always building his own community under the rubble, and this is what made him work that hard toward solutions that might work for everyone, or at least as many people as possible.

Vi: Vi was given the role of protector since the death of her parents (or maybe even before). She was taught to power through every problem and stand strong. She did her best every time, she tried to stay open, she tried to trust, she tried to stay gentle (she was the one who first tamed Beast Vander). She was not given one chance to have a proper breakdown in all this clusterfuck of a shitstorm (the only emotion she was systematically allowed to express is anger – like she were a man). The closest she got to her well-deserved breakdown was when she shut down for a moment seeing a possibly dead Vander – which the narrative promptly retaliated by killing her sister.

In these two lists, the main difference is not whether these people made any mistakes or whether they were guilty of any crimes. It is how much they changed throughout the two seasons. The people in the first list committed atrocities, but then realised their mistakes, and tried to change for the better and make amends. The people in the second list did not change that much.

How do you want your story to advocate for change and atonement if you kill of everyone who changes and wants to atone?

To make matters worse, Mel and Cait were both in officially acknowledged positions of power, actively doing what was best for the city and its people according to their conviction – even though they did abuse or misuse that power (unlike Heimerdinger who just let things slip). (They are both women of colour too, for diversity points. Yes, I know Cait is white in the game, but in the series she has very Asian features.)

Similarly, Ekko and Vi also always worked strictly for their community. Ekko had an actual community around for that, while for Vi this mostly meant her family (especially as she had no network after the death of her stepdad and spending long years in prison).

This is only mitigated by how Mel, Cait, Ecco, and Vi were always in the “cared for other people first and foremost” camp, however small that group of “other people” were. This indicates that they did not need to start or restart caring for people, did not need to repent or atone anything on this front – they did not need to change in a manner relevant to the narrative structure.

So, what does this say about justice and redemption?

If you stray from the path of the righteous, you die.

Even if you realise your mistakes and try to make them right.

Unless you are in a position of power given to you by law (as opposed to community) AND you don’t feel guilty for what you have done.

OR unless you always stay calm and collected on the surface so others can rely on you, masking through your existence.

This is a very strict, very law-based justice system where the path of virtue is narrow (made even narrower by adhering to the word of the law) and where sinners cannot avoid punishment. Coincidentally, it is a very Christian world view as well, but that is beside the point.

The importance of staying on this narrow lawful path is driven home by the visit to the parallel universe. Here Vi is dead, probably Jayce too (meaning that Viktor never got the chances Jayce’s existence provided him with), but the world is somehow much better – because we have to assume that at some point Piltover realised that they had to start caring about the people of Zaun too and help them instead of dumping their toxic waste on the lower city – you know, as people in power do, out of the goodness of their heart. Meaning that the work of Jayce and Vi was not only unnecessary, but downright harmful. Both of them were people who were working for a more equal community, and here we are, saying that their drive for change was detrimental. This says that power should have been left in the hand of the oppressors, because they would have done better eventually. Trust Me, Bro™.

And this is why there is no easy fix to this story. Because I would very much like to fix it, as I’m unhappy with the strict retributive justice system that allows no room for growth and healing for the community (unlike restorative justice as presented in The Owl House, She-Ra, Steven Universe, or Miraculous). I would very much like Ekko pull himself together just in time to save the falling Jinx, then take her away to his community tree and let her work through her feelings through agricultural labour (get a good Ghibli therapy, like the kids in Thrice Upon a Time, the latest NGE film). I wish breaking the cycle was as easy as letting the last victim of the narrow retributive justice system live.

If we accepted the idea that Jinx somehow took advantage of the energy surge in the Hexgate and got away, that still would not fix the trend of “sinners who know they are guilty getting removed from society”. Not even if we accepted that no one should be forced to make amends with the toxic community that is responsible for their trauma. On the individual level, it is totally understandable that Jinx would want to walk away, and it would not be a bad thing for the character. Staying would not really be a good option even if she lived, but her leaving would still fit the trend I am complaining about.

The whole Christian(like) concept of sin and retribution and the narrow path of the righteous is so deeply ingrained in this story that I don’t see there is an easy fix to it. The surface-level story is in such a great contrast with the narrative message that I do not see a way to reconcile them. Saying “Yes, a lot of shit had happened, but we came together, vanquished the evil, and built a new community” is in such a painful contrast with the fact that in this new community there still isn’t any room for the people who made mistakes. Just to make clear: I am not saying the characters are beyond redemption; I am saying the city cannot handle the concept of redemption. Justice is not there to make wrongs right, justice is there to punish.

This is made all the worse because from s1, it is obvious that it was the system that created the tragedy, not the individual people. If you do not change the system, you cannot expect the new community to be better than the previous one. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. (At least not everyone who has any insight on what went wrong was killed off: we still have Mel to teach about power plays and Ekko with his limited knowledge of the Arcane. Hurray.)

So, to sum up: we have a story in which first we map out how fucked up the system is through how it fucks up people. We are shown these people trying to change for the better and make amends. But then we are shown these same people being killed off one by one, all while the city is saved, and a better future through a systemic change is promised. It’s just not a future that has room for our fucked-up friends.

This sends me mixed messages. I see a glaring contradiction between promoting change for the better and excluding people who actually changed. You cannot be both for and against change. You cannot create a different future by excluding the past.

In this sense, the real tragedy of Arcane is not how systemic injustice fucks up people and inevitably the system itself (see s1 and Jinx blowing up the Council in Piltover), but how the narrative fails the supposed message that you should start caring for other people. I’m not sure if it is intentional or not. If it is intentional, that is insidious. If it is not, because the concepts of sin and retaliation are too ingrained in the writers to notice what they were doing, that is just tragic.

I finished the first season of Arcane. It's impressive, so artistic and strong in narrative telling. Every character has a marked personality conveyed through their every feature including their looks and body language. Highest pinnacle aesthetics, the scenery is captivating.

That being said, every transformers fan that watches it, perhaps, can't but notice the striking parallels with the Aligned and Idw1 lore. Actually... the background plot is quite the same.

The major problematic arises because there's a dramatic split of social hierarchy.

In Transformers, it exists the caste system and functionism. In Arcane, society is divided in high and low classes as well. Low castes are heavy work labourers, such as miners, gladiators, etc. They are rude, often violent, and outcasts. They suffer scarcities and unjustice from a government who despises them or is oblivious to their strife. The same for low classes in Arcane. (Save for existing gladiators)

High and mid castes are government, scientists, military, artists, not brute workers such as archivists. The same for Arcane.(save for archivists)

The different castes/classes are split in separate places. Low castes/classes are not allowed into the wealthy cities.

The low castes in Transformers and low classes in Arcane live in cities polluted by the vapors of factories and such, or that seem darkened somehow. The sick, the addicted and the mentally ill are common. Crime is not in short supply. Criminals are exiled or seek shelter there because there their activities are unnoticed.

Kaon (Transformers)

Zaun (Arcane)

Iacon (Transformers)

Piltover (Arcane)

The ruling entity is conformed by an association of a number of characters called the Council in both cases. (In Transformers there's also a Prime, which has no analog in Arcane)

The High Council and the Hall of justice. (Transformers)

The Council and their Tower. (Arcane)

There are also enforcers.

The antagonist is a menacing character, witty, terrifying and sexy arrogant as hell who has no qualms on use whatever means to get his way. They come from mines, they want freedom and autonomy to their kind but also crave power and know no boundaries. They value loyalty in a high degree and demand it, –the consequences of betrayal are dire. They endorse violence as way of change and are cruel and remorseless. They both have deep streaks of scars on their faces creasing their lips and share a liking for purple, dubious substances.

Megatron and Dark energon

Silco and the shimmer.

Also, they used to have an ally whom they referred to as brother, but who parted ways with them because of the virulent and dangerous, radical tendencies of the turned antagonist. These ally is/was noble, strong but kind and knows/learned that violence should be the last resort.

They both have as well subordinates that would follow them through hell because they, among other reasons, see in them that which any other. And these subordinates are feared and their own way of creepy.

Frag, it's Soundwave!

Oh, no, it's Jinx...!

And Sevika

Overal, the running story and focus is obviously very different, with various elements of their own, but honestly, the background plot and various parallels sometimes caused the fleeting feeling that I was watching a prewar tfp human steampunk version. Don't take me wrong, I loved Arcane and am very interested in the next season.

Jinx was one of my favs in s1. but what annoys me about caitlyn haters talking about caitvi being abusive for hitting her which i do not condone.. its just there's a certain hypocristy to the situation when .. Jinx Hit Vi.. Twice. at the end of season one after Vi is fighting Sevika, Jinx appears like a Horror villian and knocks her out. and when Vi comes to free her at the end of s2 Jinx hits her and locks her in the prison cell.. and the caitvi haters.. could care less as they seem to think vi exists to save jinx and nothing else.

Vander telling her protect Powder was acutally a damaging thing to Vis psyce esp when she was i dunno 15?? as a older sib you do want to protect your sib but Vi's in s1 was consumed by it. it make sense.. doesn't make it healthy esp when your sib is blowing up/killing people.

and no Vi didn't know her sister was suicidal and.. also has her own emotions and mental health / being told she need to protect powder to deal with and when Powder/Jinx rejects this from her. def hurt Vi . for all the people who claim to love Vi.. they really just want her to exist for her sister and nothing else. but Arcane isn't Frozen.. and it feels they expected a cookie cuter disney ending where at the end everythings going to turn out ok . which ..was never the tone of the show. nor is it about killing the rich like Caitlyn. It was about Ending the Cycle of Violence. we weren't suppose to Agree with Silco drug dealing ways.. and I dont understand people defending a man who committed child labor/ turned his city into a drug pen.. or saying the drugs were good is the craizest of all when we see them mutate people that's not a man to be praised.. he's no idol.. He had his demons but he took it out on the poor.. and his crimes get overlooked to much .. he became.. a Captialist.. looking out for himself.. with some love for jinx but his idea of an indi Zaun was for his Benifit.. not Zauns. I like Silco but he gets babied in the fandom

. my fav was Ambessa and she commited child murder on screen which was quite horrific.. but she's also a GILF /intersting character.. and all her crimes in s2 get pinned on caitlyn.. which to me feels like kinda racist to ignore the Black woman actions in s2. Like she was a cool Villian lady and is just outright ignored.

Anyway I acutally like.. Every Character. i think my favs in s1 were jinx/viktor/mel was.. well she was hot haha.

didn't even really ship caivi until s2 I think I just like drama as compared to all the boring haters..

I got my own criticism if ya asked me the au ep wasn't needed/to much time on the black rose plot/ vis emo arc being just a 2 min song/friendship with vander 2.0 was very rushed.

inow I wasn't a super big fan of caitlyn but the hypocrisy with cait haters make my head spin. and i find it telling the asian woman gets the most hate.. esp those that call her white kkkcaitlyn again an ASIAN woman.. they be telling on themselfs..

adding on i noticed hate for caitvi in the caitvi tags.. pretty lame if ya ask me..

Woof, what a dog shit hot take. Alright let’s do this:

1. It’s not just that hextech doesnr exist, it’s the fact that you have an alternate universe Heimerdinger guiding Piltover towards the right side AND the fact that Vi died. A child of the undercity died because of the negligence of Jayce (who wasn’t suppose to have those volatile crystals in the first place) and by extension the negligence of the upper city. They change course because they have been shown very clearly that they were responsible.

2. When Jayce asks for the undercity’s help… they LEAVE. Sevika AND the firelights abandon Piltover. A handful of them change their minds and come to Piltover’s aid, but that’s it. It’s not like everyone gathered together to defend the city. We are shown that Piltover was left mostly on their own, a consequence of their terrible actions.

3. Actually, we need everyone to save us. Enforcers, Piltover, and Zaunites. The day is not saved by the police, they famously FAIL. The one who saves the day is Ekko. A boy from the undercity.

4. I do not know why you’re so drawn to the police force because uh.. who else is going to defend the city under siege? They don’t have an army. They don’t have anyone else who can help. And enforcer uniforms are head to toe armor. Why wouldn’t you have the enforcer uniforms (which they likely have in abundance) be the uniforms they use to protect their bodies??? Like no matter what your grudge is against Piltover, if I’m fighting in a war I wanna be protected and wear gear. It’s practical.

5. Yeah this sucks and scenes with her were cut down. But she’s still THERE. She still acts in the scenes. Animation isn’t just about how many voice lines characters have. It’s a visual medium. So while she doesn’t say anything cuz it was cut for time, she still acts in the battle. She comes back to fight because of Jinx and she gets promoted to a counselor.

6. That’s just a sweeping generalization. I do not see how watching the enforcers try to protect Piltover is somehow an apology for everything that they did the rest of the season. They’re literally under siege. What are you expecting them to do? Just give up? Does them winning the battle absolve them of their crimes? The ending of the show sure doesn’t seem to think so. There’s still tension between everyone. Caitlyn gives up her seat on the council too.

7. A queer woman wrote that. About a queer couple. It is not literal. Vi is not calling herself dirt or saying she’s below Caitlyn. She’s saying she’s going to stay to keep Caitlyn GROUNDED. She is Caitlyn’s reminder to be empathetic and respectful and to not let her position of power get abused again. It’s a turn of phrase, not literal. If “the cats out of the bag,” you aren’t LITERALLY letting a cat get out of a bag. Jesus Christ how can you not see that???!

Piltover is not absolved of their crimes just because they won a war. Zaunites helping them and wearing armor in a war doesn’t make them forgive the enforcers for what they did, it’s just practical. You’re literally grasping at straws here and intentionally misreading what happens to be angry.

Hot take, season 2 feels like piltover apologist propaganda

Piltover has been oppressing and exploiting zaun for who know how long, but the timeline where everything is good, all that had to be different was for hextech to not exist

at several points in the story, including Cait's poison gas mission, enforcers go down there to brutalise people in pursuit of jinx, but all of that unnecessary violence is brushed aside because there is a new Big Bad that we all must unite against. How convenient!

the Big Bad (Viktor) was from Zaun, and we need Piltover's police force to save us from this zaunite. Actually, the previous season's big bad was also from the undercity

zaunites come to help the people who treated them like animals their entire lives AND THEY PUT ON THE UNIFORMS OF PEOPLE WHO OPPRESSED THEM? I'M SORRY WHAT

Sevika who conveniently hasn't spoken a line since what, episode 4? her opinion isn't important, just be happy that she's on the council now.

entirety of act 3 actually

the "dirt under your nails" line. ????? Who wrote this? I want to talk.

Warwick in season 2 - themes and storylines speculation

So I hope it is common knowledge that many people expect Vander to come back in season 2 as essentially a werewolf named Warwick. This is a meta speculating on what his story could be in season 2, how it might intersect with Jinx and Vi and what kind of lesson he or his existence could provide to Vi and/or Jinx.

1.) Do you let your sibling go? (Vi) 2.) Accepting yourself, living as a monster (Jinx) 3.) He/She's still in there (Vi) 4.) Accepting the crimes of a loved one (Vi & Jinx)

More under the cut:

This is how League puts it:

Warwick is a monster who hunts the gray alleys of Zaun. Transformed by agonizing experiments, his body is fused with an intricate system of chambers and pumps, machinery filling his veins with alchemical rage. Bursting out of the shadows, he preys upon those criminals who terrorize the city’s depths. Warwick is drawn to blood, and driven mad by its scent. None who spill it can escape him.

Warwick is supposed to have lost most of his memories.

Memories of that time come to Warwick in flashes before they’re inevitably lost, replaced by searing echoes of the days he spent strapped to a table in Singed’s lab, the mad chemist’s face looming above him. His world a haze of pain, Warwick could not recall how he fell into Singed’s grasp… and even struggled to remember a time before the suffering began. Warwick struggled to recall a single memory from his past... All he could see was blood. He’d already forgotten his [name]. He sensed that was for the best. Yet, even as he surrendered to the beast, glimpses of his past began to haunt him. I shake away the memories. I don’t want them.

As Warwick he often succumbs to bloodlust and kills a lot of people.

he continued the slaughter, not caring who fell to his claws. So long as blood dripped from gnashing teeth, he would feel nothing but a smear of red on his conscience, the hunger in his gut overwhelming any concern for his random victims.

He has a period where he kills indiscriminately and then switches on killing only criminals. So much for Warwick, the interesting thing of course what his story will be with other characters. The most obvious of course is his connection to Vi and Jinx. What will his story be with them? And will his story be more with Vi or with Jinx? At least in season 1 Vi and Jinx while being connected still had their own supporting cast (with for example Vander and Caitlyn being more closely linked to Vi and Silco and Sevika more closely to Jinx). 1.) Do you let your sibling go? (Vi) Now season 1 set up this idea that Vi has a good heart and that might put her in conflict with Jinx. The season 2 teaser already suggested that Caitlyn and Vi might be teaming up to track down Jinx. Plus we know that Vi will eventually be pushed or pulled towards enforcering/police work. One really dark way to deal with this topic would be to use Warwick to go a bit into the Silco and Vander backstory and explore what happened that convinced Vander that killing Silco was the only way to deal with the situation. This could play with the idea that Vi could be pushed to make a similar dark choice, Vander could be used to sell the idea that sometimes you have to make these dark choices to let somebody go and sever the emotional ties with them for the good of others. And Vi would have to eventually make the choice for or against Vander's path. Does she take comfort in knowing that he went through a similar thing and would have understood? Or will she defy Vander's teachings, vow not to repeat the choices of the previous generation and instead forge her own path? 2.) Accepting yourself, living as a monster (Jinx) Traditionally in season 1, Vander was most closely associated with Vi. However, I have this theory that Warwick who was reworked in 2017 might have been reworked specifically in accordance with the needs of Arcane (Amanda Overton said that she wrote CaitVi more than 3 years ago and some of the basic beats the story would follow were already in place by then). Now this makes me look at the characters that were released or reworked around he same timeframe, most notably Urgot and Camille. To me it's intriguing that Camille has some very specific dialogue bits with Vi that suggest that she thinks that Vi has a lot in common with her

“Mmmh… it’s like looking into a crude, boorish mirror.” “Watch it, girl. I am your future.”

Granted, this could just be because in the game Vi is "The Piltover Enforcer" while Camille is considered the enforcer of her house. But... what if this actually foreshadowed that Vi and Camille will share a story in season 2? Likely around the death of Vi's parents? That might "free" Warwick up to have a good chunk of his storyline with Jinx. A simple story for example could be that Jinx comes across him, follows him, they fight, draw, she begins to realize that he's Vander, uncovers for us what happened and in the end he does recognize her and they bond. And he could teach her/serve as an example of somebody living as monster. Remember that Warwick on one hand is the embodiment of Zaun's wrath, but on the other has his own arc where he switches from killing indiscriminately to killing only criminals. 3.) He/She's still in there (Vi) Similarly, Vi could have the traditional story where she comes across Vander, begins to realize that it's him, is heartbroken and horrified, but at the end he recognizes her and they embrace. This giving her hope that if she can reach Vander in Warwick, maybe one day she can reach Powder in Jinx as well, even it hasn't happened yet by the end of season 2. 4.) Accepting the crimes of a loved one (Vi & Jinx)

Alternatively, maybe this story could be more about acceptance/accepting Warwick. This could either go into Vander's past, maybe showing his darker side, understanding that he messed up too, but he can still be a good person now (I think this could be an interesting story for Jinx considering that she probably had to listen to years of Silco badmouthing Vander, so it would be neat if she got to hear some nuance/Vander's side of the story, or for Vi to see that Vander wasn't perfect and then maybe she doesn't have to follow all of his advice ("everything is on you"...)) And then of course the differentiation between Warwick's indiscriminate killing period and his more focused killing period. Maybe Vi decides that this is something she can live with? And if Vi can accept Warwick, maybe that opens up hope that she can accept Jinx too?

For @arcanefandomweek for the prompt "Lesson"

League of Arcane

As far as I can remember, the well produced cinematic videos for the Massive Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA); [League of Legends] has always intrigued me to give the game a try. Be it [K/DA] or [True Damage] or good ole [Get Jinxed] The League Fandom has a lot to love outside the game itself and the toxic players addicted to them.

For years, fans of the game or the viewers of the cinematics have always wished to spend more time with these beloved characters and this year, on 2021.

[Riot Games] with [Fortiche] answered the call and created the recently popular Netflix series; < Arcane >

- Let's Start From Scratch -

Welcome to Piltover. The city of the rich and home of pioneers to science and technology that, beneath it all hides the barbaric and ugly citizens of Zaun. Our main characters are two orphaned sisters; Violet and Powder. Who, after a tragic incident were adopted by Vander; The Hound of the Undergound. Under his protection, Vi and Powder began to develop their skills and train for combat in case of emergencies in this dog eat dog world. Away from his guise, Vi began to develop a following of young aspiring fighters who hates the surface dwellers. Visiting and stealing things from Piltover and very narrowly escape from getting caught.

Meanwhile, on the surface. We follow a young, aspiring and ambitious scientist, Jayce who whose office recently got robbed with contents of powerful and highly dangerous goods that he has yet to fully understand but has great potential to change the way of living.

Character by character, plot by plot, the two sides clash into an inevitable war that causes a divide between worlds and caused various characters to be driven apart. All piloted by the sinister mastermind and vile crime lord; Silco.

As the conspiracy develops. The roster of characters builds as above so below. The series acts as an anthology of sorts. It introduces the early lives of these mighty Champions (playable characters of the game) we know them to be and the worlds they lived in. Suggesting the eventual turning points for the elements and lore the game is based on.

- We will show them all -

First, let’s get one thing out of the way.

You don’t have to know League to understand < Arcane >

What I really like about this series is just how simple it is to enter the show blind and not ask questions about who is what. From the two main sisters to the side characters. Every character is organically made to exist on itself. It humanizes the Champions. Showing that they are just ordinary people who later becomes a legend.

I may have only seen the cinematics and read some of the lore but even without the knowledge or without playing the game. The lore and relationships of the characters is completely comprehensible. MOBA characters often time uses a rather basic structure to create “diverse” characters but because of that basic structure, its easy to redesign and develop on the how’s and the why’s of their motivations while maintaining their key characteristics.

As an example, the main character Powder who later becomes the infamous; Jinx is explained from the first episode to why she is the way she is. It displays the early signs of her descend that climaxed to her full transition but it still leaves a lot of room for more details. It frames her as a tormented girl who is in constant war with her mind and her heart.

Similarly, Violet’s growth uses that same rule by showing and developing the moments and the dialogues as to why she raises her fists to fight for the causes she believes in. Also, its good to see typical tropes of enemies becoming allies being done right through Caitlyn and the complications of deep rooted relationships between characters as is with the case of Ekko.

The show assumes that the viewers know nothing about League and gives time with the characters and bare witness to how the world and the characters came to be. From its heroes to its villains. While I could criticize my one issue for how they pace and cut between acts I know that this is just the beginning.

All in all, I really liked how it was made and I look forward to Season 2 which is currently in production. Despite this and all the praise I gave it, its probably best to do some catch up for the characters and for future events to come because I get the sense that it may dramatically change or hint future seasons.

- The Monster Created -

That said, I should also credit the amount of awesome and well choreographed fight scenes seen in the series so far. The various effects and difference in every fight shows how the studio, Fortiche values the impact of this show. From the dynamics of scenes, the angle of shots, the attention to detail and even the versality of facial expressions is Grade-A levels of excellent animation.

No moment is the same and that is highly credited to Fortiche and Riot’s trust and relationship with one another with great care and love for the intellectual property (IP) It goes to show how Riot took the task very seriously by not making the series look cheep which also stamps < Arcane > as the benchmark quality for video game adapted shows/ movies.

Its a love letter to the fans and to new comers who wants nothing to do with the game to be able to experience the many strengths about it. From a character’s development to the world-building itself.

It would be interesting to see how < Arcane > brings established and widely popular characters into the universe. The realest in the game; Akali, the beautiful and seductive; Ahri, Jinx’s eventual best friend; Lux and The silent but deadly DJ; Yasuo and many more to come. There will be a lot to look forward to in this series and Season 2 can’t come any soon enough.

With that said, December is Here and 2021 about to draw to a close! I’m adjusting to my new life situation now but I promise, I will keep to it whenever I have a chance. I know it's been a while since we last saw Sadie and Hector but she'll be back when I get things sorted out.

Thanks for reading

So— m!Fuchsia Ninja

First major difference: there’s isn’t just one, there are several. Eight at least, to be specific— Roki, Riku, Doku, Kiri, Riki, Roku, and Doorki. Why are all their names so similar? Because— SURPRISE!— they’re all copies! Or, well, perma-copies. A long time ago there was one, Odoroki, and since receiving the Element of Surprise from their uncle, the Mailman, they have gained the ability to duplicate themselves. None of the perma-clones (aka the copies that are always active) know which is the original or if they even exist, and all have some small changes in appearance and personality between them (though they can be identified by the sunglasses they wear to hide their fuchsia-coloured eyes, their brown hair, and their fuchsia-coloured clothes— you can see three/four of them at Ninjago High in the movie!). They can each create copies of themselves, but these copies aren’t always around like the 8 perma-copies are.

Roki is probably the closest to the original (if the original still exists) and is the ‘oldest’ of the eight (in the sense that they’re all the same age— high school age— but Roki is the tallest and was able to sneak their way into starting college), and is part of the College Crew (which includes Morro and Dove— m!Fugidove). They’re Morro’s roommate in the dorms— and sometimes go out on patrol with the Sacramento Ninja, aka Morro

Riku, Kiri, and Koru all go to Ninjago Highschool

Riki is always helping their uncle with the post office and other errands (like picking up their adopted younger brother, Nelson, from school)

Roku is always helping at the Museum with the two friendly curators (cough good m!Time Twins) and volunteers there alongside Morro, and also tends to explore the city and do patrols of the outskirts

Doku is always in the Fuchsia Ninja gi and helps patrol the city (kind of like your regular neighbour Spiderman) to deal with minor problems and crimes

And Doorki is the undercover agent (who makes a bunch of copies so they can be undercover everywhere at once), and has positions in (including but not limited to): the mayor’s office, the mafia, and Garmadon’s Volcano (where they run interference and intel like the Pink Jinx!)

So yeah— multiple Fuchsia Ninja, Nelson gets anywhere from 8 to a hundred older siblings, they all listen to the name ‘Odoroki’ (derived from the Japanese word for ‘surprise’), and they have friends everywhere— with only a small handful, like Morro, knowing their secret(s)

Also— I know it’s the s!Fuchsia Ninja in the Tournament, but I can’t help but laugh picturing a timeline this m!Fuchsia Ninja instead where they keep tag-team switching in and out during and outside of combat, and no one else has realized there’s more than one absolutely trolling Master Chen

Cool idea. It's great you put so much time into it. I think I saw you talk about this theory before with screenshots from the movie. It's a pretty darn compelling theory. Especially since it plays with that real-life ninja trick with multiple look-alike people dressed the same to confuse their enemies and look like they can teleport. I forget what it's called right now.

As for my fic... Is it? Is it really the S!Fuchsia Ninja in the tournament?

A Rebuttal

I think Cait "transgressions" in Season 1 are nothing of the sort. I believe she behaved well better than can be expected of people in her situation.

Lets look a her rule-breaking. Caitlin broke the rules and disobeyed authority figures yes, but they were unjust rules and corrupt leaders. Vi I can assure was not given a trial or charged with any crimes, Marcus will be known by the audience to be in Silco's pocket. The point being you cannot make a equivalent case between Caitlin ignoring a corrupt superior to investigate a serious case with say Silco bribing said superior or Marcus abusing his authority to imprison Vi for years. It does matter how and why you break the rules.

Another thing is the use of privilege and power; privilege by definition is an injustice and should not exist in the City of Progress and Equality, however Caitlin uses her privilege in season 1 for the good of all. Because she is wealthy when her boss does something suspect she does not need to worry about a family depending on her and so she can investigate. Because her family will protect her she can take the necessary action to investigate a bombing that killed multiple people. She has the spare time to build a case against Silco without ever leaving Piltover. Privilege should not exist but Caitlin uses hers in the service of justice.

Power meanwhile, I have a problem when people bring up the "evil" or "corrupting" nature of power because it is untrue. I believe Power has always been revealing, when some one has it what do they become? Finally power is the means by which you affect things, take action. To reject power, it use, or to reject the acquisition of power is to render yourself impotent and irrelevant. It is about how and why you use it. And Caitlin I think accepts it because she does in fact wants to protect and to reform and to bring justice to the cities.

I agree when Caitlin becomes in effect Sheriff in Season 2 and then i don't know dictator? in season 2 she does some morally dubious things. The thing Caitlin is nothing if not restrained, she does not flood all of Zaun with Grey she uses it only when they need to and she ensures that the vents are undamaged and can remove the grey once they are finished. In the occupation in Act 2 the enforcers could have gunned down everyone at the protest like in the very opening of the show, during the bridge massacre. That doesn't happen, instead Cait imprisons them, something more understandable when you consider that there were many former gangsters like Sevika and Singe and the other nameless goons. Again Caitlin crosses a line but she does not cross all of the lines.

And why she does so is important, Zaun has been effectively outside of Piltover's control for 15 years, between Vander's deal and Silco's machinations there has been no police force nothing resembling justice or a court of law in years. And in that time we see a gang of only a couple of dozen kill the closet thing to a leader Zaun had and then build a violent predatory criminal empire that eventually threatened both cities with war and destruction. and then Jinx born of that violence and chaos in effect declares war on Piltover on behalf of Zaun. Am I saying Jinx intended this NO! But that is how Piltover saw it, how Caitlin especially after the memorial and her failure to capture Jinx saw it. Zaun was out of anyone's control and increasingly a danger to Piltover. And by destroying the criminal organization and Shimmer production and maybe bringing something actually resembling peace and justice Caitlin could prevent any more Jinx's form being created and that would be an incredible net improvement in Zaun's standard of living.

One of the things about Caitlin is that she takes responsibility for her actions, in the obvious way, as with her confession in episode 8, but also in a more subtler point. As a person with power, financial, political, military she has a duty to use that power not just according to her own principles but also for benefit and protection of her fellow citizens, she in short not just can take action but is the only one who take action. The world is uncertain yet we must make decisions in it and it is complex and unforgiving. Those with the power to take action have the responsibility to do so Caitlin I think in Season 1 and 2 is willing to make those decisions, to risk being wrong or committing wrongs while striving to do that what's right. Caitlin has foresight and hindsight but is not infallible and prone to the joys and banes of human existence like us all.

As another child of privilege and power that chose a life of politics and public service and fought for the rights of the common people once said,

"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

if you know anything about Theodore Roosevelt well he has some significant parallels with Caitlin.

The biggest misunderstanding about Caitlyn from fans actually comes from season 1, not 2. Fans see Caitlyn break Vi out of prison and talk to Ekko about empathy and think that she’s learning and growing as a character and then when season 2 hits they think all that growth was somehow “abandoned” or “reversed.”

But that’s not true.

Caitlyn has ALWAYS been a spoiled little rich girl who came from a family of rich people who are so used to how much power they have in the city that they don’t regard ANYONE’S feelings or respect ANY rules. Both Marcus and Salow spell this out to us.

Marcus: “She’s a Kiramman! Just like them she does what she wants! I can’t control her!”

Salow: “It’s the name! It bewitches people.”

Time skip Caitlyn is introduced investigating the botched Jinx job at the shipping docks. She is not an official detective and Marcus makes it clear she isn’t supposed to be there. She’s supposed to be guarding her family’s pavilion, but she ignored both her mother’s AND the sheriff’s wishes to investigate a crime because she’s bored.

She breaks Vi out of prison AFTER she’s been effectively laid-off by Marcus, using her connections to Jayce to forge her release papers. Reminder: at this point in the story she is technically not a cop anymore. She’s doing all this stuff with noble intentions of trying to uncover Silco and bring Jinx to justice… but what she’s doing is technically illegal. And the only reason she’s able to get away with it is because she’s a spoiled rich BRAT.

Her privilege shields her from repercussions in season 1, just as they do in season 2.

The difference is that she’s now been traumatized by Jinx. Her bodily autonomy was violated by Jinx kidnapping her when she was literally naked in the shower, she was most likely tortured by Jinx, was tied up and painted on, threatened to be executed at gun point by Jinx, and then to top it all off Jinx murders her mother in a terrorist attack.

And Caitlyn tries to hold it all in. She tries to confide with Vi, she tries to let her hatred go… but both times she is denied her the ability to grieve properly. First by her privilege and not understanding that asking Vi to become an Enforcer would be rejected. And then by Ambessa by funding the attack on the memorial service.

She has no parental figure to guide her, her rage and hatred for Jinx is boiling over… so she resorts to what she always does and what she did back in season 1. She just does what she wants to get her way. She convinces Jayce to develop hextech weapons, she assumes the role of leader for house Kiramman, and she uses her unique position in power to bend systems her family put in place to protect Zaun against them.

Caitlyn in season 2 is very much the same Caitlyn we’ve always known from season 1. The difference is that in season 1 we were rooting for her because we like Vi. She exhausted the same disrespect for authority and people back then but they were in service of things we, the audience, liked. So we gave her a pass. We excused her rule breaking. We ignored her unique brand of privilege because we liked what her privilege could unlock for us.

Season 2 slams that door shut and tells us “no, actually, you weren’t supposed to like this because nobody in power is innocent.”

But rather than learn more about Caitlyn and understand her character better… people are dismiss this all as “bad writing” or “character assassination.”

And what’s more frustrating is the whole “dictator arc.” Because frankly I would argue that by that point Caitlyn HAS learned her lesson about privilege and power, but it’s too late to stop things now. Just as Jayce going vigilante in season 1 was the start of a cataclysmic event, Caitlyn gassing Zaun to look for Jinx results in Caitlyn losing everyone she trusts and respects. Broken up with Vi and alone, she is suddenly granted even MORE power than she’s ever had by Ambessa. And you can see it affect her. In that moment she realizes that Ambessa is the one who spearheaded the attack on the memorial. After seeing what happened between her and Vi, she realizes that by taking this role she will be responsible for even greater atrocities.

She has 2 choices. Let it all go, or use the position of power to her advantage. And just like before in season 1… she chooses the later. Her goal may still be to get Jinx, but she does NOT want to be a part of Ambessa’s dictatorship. This is why she’s so reluctant to join even with all the peer pressure. This is why she’s so slow and hesitant to walk forward. And she only accepts the cape she is crowned with once Ambessa says “your mother will have justice.”

What’s most important about this scene is that SHE KNOWS Ambessa is using her. That’s why when we see her in Act 2 she’s already trying to counter Ambessa’s plans. That’s why she’s constantly challenging Ambessa with “why is peace always the excuse for violence?” That’s why when Ambessa says “you don’t trust me?” Caitlyn responds with a resounding “no.” And that’s why when Vi drops back into her life she realizes she has an opportunity to correct her mistakes. She doesn’t switch on a dime because Vi fluttered her eyes and called her “cupcake.” She switches because she was already looking for an out. And this is why when Vi confronts her in Act 3 she screams “I KNOW.”

Caitlyn’s arc is that of someone who always had privilege and power coming to realize too late how dangerous and harmful that power is. By the time she learns her lesson she’s already entrenched with Ambessa and stuck in this hateful miasma for Jinx. Season 1 was setup for what was going to follow with how her character was going to learn and atone for her mistakes.

And what’s so god damn frustrating about all the discourse around Caitlyn is how reductive and dismissive it all is. So much of the discourse completely ignores the actions she takes to fix things in favor of trumping up the actions she took to get there. All of her transgressions in season 1 are ignored and her own internalized growth is reduced to a joke about Vi calling her cupcake. It’s MADDENING.

Unnoticed - Chapter One

Summary: Toshi is the most successful thief the undercity ever had. She is known to be able to steal anything while staying undetected. However, after stealing from the undercity´s most feared crime lord, she finds herself in big trouble.

!Warnings for future chapters: Smut, Swearing, Mentions of Abuse

Also please note that this is an AU, where Jinx does not exist. (I left her out simply because it would be demotivating for me to include too many characters.)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I don´t think you can do that. You pulled many tricks, but this one will break your neck, man.” Cheat, a young guy, sat across the table in front of a masked woman. He leaned forward and sighed. “I mean, nobody will give you any money to do it anyway. It´s really just for the kick, isn’t it?” Toshi raised her head and took a sip from the glass of vodka she held in her hand. Black nails shining in the coloured lights. “You´re right. It is to prove something though. Lately, people have been questioning my abilities as a thief. They talk, you know? I´m going to prove just how good of a thief I really am.” She smirked under her fox-mask. She was dressed all black, silver chains hanging around her neck, rings on all her fingers. They clicked against the glass impatiently. After her last robbery, the guy who had hired her remarked that her prices are too high and that she was just a scam, that anyone could do what she did with a little training. Of course she made him pay for that comment. Nobody was allowed to question her. She had then decided to prove them all wrong by stealing something from the undercity’s most dangerous man. Silco. “You wouldn’t understand, Cheat. It´s a matter of honour. Of which you have none.” She chuckled. He rolled his eyes and got up, pushing the chair away angrily. “Fine then, be stupid. But don’t say I didn’t warn you.” He huffed and stormed out of the bar. She was left alone, surrounded by drunk people dancing, fighting and yelling at each other to loud music. Her eyes scanned the room. Some people eyed her cautiously. Not only did she own this bar, people all around the city knew her mask. As she got up too, she could see people holding on tighter to their bags and money. “Pathetic.” She said quietly. If she wanted to, she could pickpocket anyone here and nobody would notice. She went upstairs and left the building through a window in the roof. Standing outside, she felt the chilly air tug at her thin, black coat. She looked over the buildings of the undercity, the smoke rising from the lanes and chimneys, neon lights shining brightly in the darkness of the night. Yells, shots and laughter filled the air. She took off her mask when she knew nobody was watching and pulled down her hood, showing noticeable white hair. Toshi ran over the rooftops, bare feet making no sound as she did so. She jumped down into one of the darker alleys and continued walking, silent like a fox on the hunt. She wasn’t called “The Vixen” just for fun.

When she arrived at an old, withered building, she opened the front door and walked in, locking the door behind her. It was located at the outer side of the city, right by the docks that hadn’t been used in years. The corridor was cold and looked as abandoned as one might expect upon seeing this building for the first time. She arrived upstairs and opened the door to her flat. In complete contrast to the corridor, this room looked homely. A lit fireplace provided warmth that filled the whole apartment, plants could be found anywhere and big, heavy rugs lay on the ground. At the other side of the door were large windows, covered by dark green curtains that kept people from looking into her home. Nobody except for her had ever seen the inside of this flat. Toshi took off her coat and threw it on a green couch that sat in front of huge shelves, filled with hundreds of books. She tied up her hair into a messy bun and made her way to a large desk, papers scattered all over it. She sat down in a dark red armchair and lit up a cigarette she had nicked from one of the bar guests. It tasted alright, she thought. “Alright.” She leaned forward and looked at her notes. Written on them were numbers and the names of places Sico had gone to over the past couple of weeks. At first, it had seemed like there was never a certain time he would be out. But yesterday she had discovered that most days from exactly 3.12pm to 4.00pm Silco and Sevika, his right hand woman, both left his office at the Last Drop – a bar owned by Silco. Toshi didn’t know where they were headed, but this was an opportunity she certainly didn’t want to miss. Tomorrow, she would be stealing from undercity´s most feared crime lord. She was so excited.

Toshi woke up late the next day. It was already 3pm when she finally left her flat and ran through the lanes. She was wearing her hood and mask, people giving her angry looks as she bolted past them. She hid behind a wall when she arrived at the Last Drop, hoping that Silco and Sevika would leave again today. She was just in time, the front door opened, and she watched the two of them walk down the street and into the smog of the city. That was her chance. She smirked and started to climb the wall of the building she had been hiding behind. Once she reached the top, she ran towards the edge and leaped over to the roof of the bar. She landed without making a noise, merely a shadow to anyone passing by. “Guess that guy was right. Easy as baking a cake.” She giggled as she made her way to the other side of the roof. She looked down and was met with a large, green window that covered the back of Silco´s office. She jumped down onto the window sill and easily pushed the window open, sliding in. 3.34. She had 26 minutes until Silco would return. To play it safe, she wanted to be back on the roof by 3.50. So that left her with 16 minutes. Toshi didn’t want to waste any time and begun searching through the drawers of his desk. Paperwork listing the export and production of shimmer, a drug that made the consumer more than ten times stronger after consumption. But it cost the health of those who used it frequently and Toshi didn’t want anything to do with a drug this dangerous. She continued to search through the drawers, smiling when she found a box of cigars, beautifully rolled and promisingly good looking. They were put into a bag she had brought with her. 3.40. The cigars were nice, but she had to leave an impression. Make Silco realise that he was just another commoner to her after all. She could be stopped by nobody. She sat down on his red armchair and spun it around a few times before her eyes fell onto Silco´s coat. A large grin grew on her face. She jumped up and walked over to the coat hanging on the wall next to the door that led into the bar. She grabbed it but froze in place when she heard steps coming up the stairs towards the office. “You´re getting old.” A female voice remarked. “If you say so.” A male voice. Silco. Toshi panicked, throwing on the coat and bolting to the window. Behind her, she could hear the door opening, a large shadow darkening the room. Toshi crouched in the window, turning her head to look at Silco. He was tall and dressed as elegant as you would expect of him. His eyes were burning into her as he spotted her.

“If you leave right now, I will hunt you down and skin you alive.” His voice kept a cool tone that send shivers down Toshi´s spine. She felt cocky though, how would he ever find her? Nobody knew about her identity. And she could fight if necessary.

“Interesting threat. I will remember that and use it myself.” She answered, jumping out of the window as soon as Silco took a step towards her.

From the streets, she could see Silco staring down at her from his window, angrier than ever. She waved at him and ran down the street, disappearing into the darkness.

I owe you! ♡ ⟶ Author’s note: Written for @houseofddaeng‘s Agust D Anniversary Event. Was my first time touching elements of a cyberpunk!au.

Rain casts a veil over your sight as you stare deeply into the silhouette across the murky alleyway; the figure before you surveys the one-of-a-kind hextech rifle aiming right at their head. Glistening neon lights flood your peripherals, puddles reflecting fractions of radiance between the cracks of the split bricks under your very feet. The chill of cold water drenches your attire, even the cap resting on your head leaks streams down the sides of your face.

“How could you!” You choked out between your teeth; loud enough over the pounding rain, loud enough to cut the man in front of you as if your words are daggers.

The rifle that deemed you the best shot in the city has no comparison to your superior intellect. Your wits earned you the way through the rankings and nobody, no criminal or lawbreaker were foolish enough to cross your path. You are known as Vopamis City’s finest peacekeeper and your oath is embedded deep within your family roots.

You’re the sheriff of a thriving, escalating city where art, craftsmanship, trade, and metamorphosis were built and centered from. Vopamis is and forever will be a reinventing city where dreams are lived to the fullest extent and treasures are found around every corner. It sits on top of the distrusted city of Tapos, an undercity district – which used to be once united but now no more – buried deep within canyons weaved below.

You press your words and force the air to pass through your clutching windpipe, “Fuckin’ answer me you son of a bitch!”

The figure sighs with a step forward, rolling their head out of annoyance but once their eyes meet yours in the light you knew all breath escaped your chest.

“Hi, Y/n.”

The dangerous bright orange hair stands out like no other, just like the cocky grin that emits the same tone as his two-toned eyes does. One is dull brown with crystalized specks of white, the other a piercing topaz yellow; a hard contrast between his natural dark pupil – all of which made those eyes captivating.

You fear this moment every day ever since that terrible day. It haunts you; it scares you; it hurts you. Yet here you are, face to face with the man who solemnly swept the valuable, rich rug right out from under you and ran with it. With betrayal and pain coursing through your veins you sought out his existence every single day to get revenge on the one person you thought you truly once loved.

With your rifle adjusted point blank, with the help of the glowing red laser to the center of his forehead, you show no signs of backing down from your stance. The rain beats heavily though your heart pounds harder inside your chest.

He looks just how you remember him; black under-cut still very much unkempt, a piercing jabbed through one eyebrow and two into the cartilage on the same side of his nose. His oversized cryptic jacket hides his frame well, decorated in all sorts of patches, widgets, and spikes that have their own metallic shine to them. You swear you see the edgings of tattoos creeping up the sides of his neck, exactly how you recall them.

Those unforgiving thick soled boots kick up the water around his steps as he inches out of the shadows, “It’s been a while.”

You ignore him just like he ignores your first sentence, “How could you do this?!”

He shrugs with amusement dressing his face, “Why ask me questions you already have answers to, Y/n?”

With glares meeting another in a standoff stare he halts his walk five feet in front of you. Unphased by the downpour of smogged twilight rain, you twist your finger around the trigger of your trusty gun. “You stole for the black markets, betrayed your city and me, ran off to the unstable technologies and reckless constructions of the polluted and gangrenous Tapos. Why!?”

“You seem to be a bit vindictive.” He snickers, swiping a hand through his soaked locks. “I was bored.”

Bored.

Your grip tightens around your rifle, you can’t tell if you are shaking from the cold of the rain or the anger raging throughout your body. His words made your heart sink to the pit of your stomach.. “Yoongi!” You hiss with a harsh tone, blood boiling under your very skin.

He steps again, hand clutching the barrel of your gun and aligning the end against his forehead. Yoongi looks at you with teasing eyes and a wide, wirily smile. He is testing you - taunting you. “I know you won’t do it. You won’t pull the trigger.” That blunt topaz eye drills back into yours, enticing and enchanting all at once. “How many times have you seen me in the streets? Stealing from this filthy, pathetic excuse of a renowned city? How many times did you watch me walk by doing whatever I damn well please? Why are you stopping me now? What changed?”

To what you believe you are holding out strong, insisting you have the upper hand and all control. But you are frozen, unpredictably iced in place from where you stand. Only to stare back at the man that your heart swells and aches for. Yoongi doesn’t wait for you to answer as he already knows every single move and step you have going for you.

“It’s only been two months.” He states with a soft smile, lowering and pushing aside the gun in your grasp. “One of the most determined and skilled investigators of all Vopamis. Filled with ferocity and a strong sense of justice and resolution. Falls right into the footsteps of each and every one of your family members. They reinforced their ideals of right and wrong on you so much that it’s practically branded across your forehead.”

Yoongi spits to the side, tilting his head to watch your face with all his rambling. He has proven himself in such a small-time frame of how impulsive he can be, going from a trusted high ranked officer of the law to a merciful criminal who now wreaks havoc without care. Buildings burn in his name as he always made sure to leave a massive trail of mayhem and panic in his wake, never seized to end his rampage with the biggest explosions – which soon became his signature.

You loved him ever since the day you two joined the academy together. Yoongi excelled in everything from hextech inventions to architectural research. Vopamis has become a magnet for the most skilled craftsmen from all over the world and the more restricted and dangerous ones fell into the toxic runoff of Tapos. Now, Yoongi’s schemes have inspired copycat crimes among the chem-punks, a movement in which he predicted after labeling righteous wordings on structures throughout both cities. Some followers have blindly followed his persona named ‘X’. In a crafty way each successful heist has a small piece left for the police to find; a personable note that always says, “get jinxed.”

Standing helplessly at the mercy of your own heart your head drops, eyes casting to the drenched road. Everything in your righteous mind tells you to take him in, lock him up – it is your job and duty to do this as you are one with the law. But your poor, fragile heart is gapping open from the piece that was ripped away by Yoongi.

“You’re right.” You whisper softly.

“I know.”

All the times you allowed him to do what he continues to do because you didn’t have it in you to send him to jail. As you watch him become the criminal he is now, refusing to stop his acts even though the justice and pride within you screams for you to act on your instincts. “Everything you’re saying is right.”

Yoongi raises his hand, palm facing up and holding a chemtech explosive bullet that swirls a cobalt blue liquid inside. Instantaneously you knew exactly what the bullet is – the meaning behind it, and all of the precious memories came flooding back all at once.

The bullet was no longer than two inches and has a hole drilled through the piece to lace a chain through it. Yoongi wears it as a charm to his bracelet and even in the dark of the rainy night with neon lights flashing around you, you can still see the small etchings of both of your initials on the tip of the bullet. It was his first ever fully functional bullet he crafted back at the academy and he had dedicated that piece of craftsmanship to you.

“I still love you, you know.” Yoongi’s voice stills your breath, deep and stern. With all seriousness he openly speaks with a stony face as you look up to him. “I never stopped.”

You avert your eyes away from the nostalgic piece which lies in Yoongi’s palm and the heat of your breath fans out into the open cool air in a puff of smoke. It hurts your heart, all your pent-up revenge brought out a disgusting angry monster from within you. You’re blinded by the law and blinded by the admiration of love for Yoongi.

“You don’t.” You counter with a hiss.

Raindrops hide away the streams of tears that break down the brims of your eyes and you refuse to keep your eyes open in the slim chance of giving Yoongi the satisfaction of your glistening orbs filling with hurt. As much as you secretly hope and want – need – Yoongi to say those words, they still simmer a splitting pain inside of your delicate heart.

Yoongi’s tatted, calloused hand aimlessly raises to your face, his knuckles brushing against the curve of your cheek. Surprisingly, you don’t flinch at the contrasting and unexpected warmth that’s responsible for heating up that side of your face. Instead you find yourself helplessly leaning into the contact, your shaking hand still holding your trusty gun at your side.

“It’s funny,” Yoongi scoffs, forcing your eyes to jolt in his direction of his action.

You burn a glare at him while he inspects your face, your blood boiling underneath all of your drenched clothes and cold skin. Yoongi sounds a quick ‘tsk’ as disapproval while his fingers glide down the column of your neck. “So funny that you question everything I say and do.”

The fact that he has your rendered frozen in place under the heavy weather and his intimidating presence only confirms his suspicions. He wasn’t lying to you and you knew that, right? You swallow thickly at the bright orange haired man in front of you, eyes casting down to shrink your frame.

You sneer back, “Can you blame me? You ruined your chances of being an officer – all that hard work you put in means nothing now. You destroyed all your chances of being a citizen of Vopamis. And all because you were bored.” In the back of your mind no matter how many hours you had pondered his reasonings to derail into a criminal, what hurt you the most wasn’t the fact he chose this path of being a high risk offender – it is the reality of him leaving you behind as if nothing about your relationship between another is important to him as it was to you.

Yoongi cocks an amused eyebrow, a smirk quick to follow. “Hm, yes. I wasn’t bored with you though, Y/n. Truthfully, knowing that you’ll be hot on my trail at all times – no matter where I went – made this new life even more fun. You enjoy chasing me?” He swipes his tongue through the small opening of his lips, two-toned eyes glare at the small line of tattoos up the back of your own ear. He tilts your jaw with his thumb, exposing more of your smooth damped skin.

Under Yoongi’s hand you feel like a marionette; damned against his ministrations and at how weak you feel towards him. You can see your vision blur around the edges, your sight honing on the glowing eye that stares at you with interest. Another puff of fog seeps out of your mouth from a released breath that you held in for far too long. You don’t acknowledge the way your limbs grew numb by the minute or the way your bottom lip trembles from your constant shivers. You are only focusing on the way the warmth of the pads of his fingers emits onto your skin and gives you a sliver of assurance.

“Have I ruined this too?” Yoongi questions in a whisper, eyes projecting down to your cold lips.

Everything in your mind tells you to scream at him, tell Yoongi ‘yes, you completely and utterly ruined every single aspect of my life,’ but the words cannot crawl their way up your throat and form the sounds you need. Instead your face reacts with pain, all of your walls and defenses breaking down around you and your rifle drops to the puddled ground underneath you.

He can read you like a book, study your features, and pull each intricate and thin string of your heart. He plays you like a fiddle with a crooked smile, a knowing look to his face where all his intuitions of you feeling something towards him are all riddled true. It’s dressed all over your face, your body leaning closer to his, the look to your eyes – glistening or not.

His thumb taps lightly against your bottom lip, popping it open from the stern line your mouth was creating. You gulp with anticipation, your surrounding areas become less and less in vision of your peripheral and your eyes can only bore straight back into Yoongi’s; pupils dilating rapidly.

“No…”

Your solo word shakes out with a heavy breath at the same time Yoongi’s other hand comes to grab your elbow and pull you closer to him. The heat radiating off of him is met between you with a strikingly fast kiss, but the kiss was tentative at best. Even reading all of your body gestures, the way your posture changes when it comes to his proximity invading your territories, Yoongi still approached with cocky confidence. He knows he has you around his finger, around his hand and more.

‘You weren’t ruined, yet,’ he thought. But Yoongi is all too excited to violate whatever purity of the law that is still laced within your morals.

He’s eager to shove his deadly tongue into the first parting of your mouth, a gasp of excitement releasing through a moan. You forget about the downpour of rain around the two of you, the chill of the air cutting through your clothes, even forgetting the blaring neon signs illuminating the paths around this alleyway. Your mind is intoxicated with the savvy orange haired, corrupted, and dangerous man who has swindled his way within the burrows of each city and the cavities of your heart.

A single tear traces down your cheek as your arms link around Yoongi’s neck, your body completely caving into the man before you. With the motion Yoongi backs the two of you up until you're hidden well enough in the darkness. His hand cocks your head to the side as he leaves wet open-mouthed kisses as he pushes you against the side of the building. His lips heat your skin up and send an involuntary chill of goosebumps down your body.

You breath out into the air while your senses adjust to the new sensations of want and need being applied to your form. “Yoongi –“

He hushes you with a hand, his teeth nipping eagerly around your clavicles. “Shh,” he warns with a devilish glint, “We’re in public, Y/n.” He chuckles, mouth coming back to kiss against your jaw.

You muffle a noise of acknowledgement, or a moan of pleasure from the sharp suck Yoongi plants against the sweet spot under your ear. Your arms grip him tighter, pulling him flush against your front to be as close as possible. Without hesitation your hands link up the back of his head, fingers carding through the disheveled drenched locks for a nice pull.

Both of your clothes stick to you like a second skin, suctioned to your own bodies and you desperately want them ripped off. Yoongi hisses at the yank of his head. Sensing your actions as an emergency he huffs a laugh your way, “Yeah? What do you want?” He removes the hand across your mouth only to shove his thumb into it, pressing down against your tongue. “Is this righteous mouth going to tell me something?”

You comply by action with the decision of closing your mouth around his finger and sucking it with delight. Yoongi praises you with words of assurance, biting down on the flesh of his own bottom lip. He leans into you, hips grinding instantly against your frontside. The uneven gyrating of wet fabrics causes a rough and uncomfortable friction, but it was something that helped direct attention toward your neglected core.

Yoongi lifts up your slicked shirt just enough to fondle around the waistband of your pants in search of unhinging your duty rig belt. “You’re going to be a good girl, right?” His eyes give you a knowing look as his thumb detaches from your trap. Nodding, you seek his mouth once more to savor the warmth between you two. “Vopamis’ finest,” he quotes in a mocked tone.

“I love you.”

Your confession halts Yoongi for a brief moment between kisses, his hand stalls as it breaches a few inches inside the front of your pants. He has you pinned against the rough brick of a building in the outskirts of the city with your freezing, aching body under his frame. Your mouth and legs so willing to open up for him.

This is the very first time he’s seen you so ‘not yourself’ in all the years he has known you, even when the fondness blossomed more between the two of you. Whichever relationship the two of you were in – it wasn’t exclusive but it surely is implied – has become completely manipulated to the public eye. Yoongi’s urgency falters for a moment, a flashback to a simpler time where the underlying love and sweetness emitting from the two of you has no boundaries. But as fast as that memory exposes itself, it was easily covered in his future thoughts. His enjoyment of being who he is now, what he wants to achieve, obtain, and take.

With your face plastering across all walls of his mind, he smirks excessively as if he is pleased with himself. He has everything he wants, and he’s greedy for more. No matter what Yoongi does with himself he knows he’ll have you regardless – and right now is proving that theory.

He leans forward to plant another kiss to your appetizing lips once more, “I know you do.”

Quickly, Yoongi flips you in your place in one quick motion, yanking down a portion of your pants once you catch yourself against the wall. Your eyes scan frantically to the opening of the alleyway, silently praying nobody stumbles upon the two of you in this indecency act – especially how your rifle lays still on the ground in the opening.

The air breezes across your now exposed cheeks, and with a firm hand Yoongi shoves against your lower back forcing you to bend forward enough to reveal your core. Gasping, you shudder under the sudden invasion of his cold clammy palm molding on top of your cunt. Your hands held you up against the wall, pants pulled only to your lower thighs preventing the spread your legs most desperately needed.

Slowly, Yoongi’s fingers prod along your slit, dipping directly between your folds the moment they come in contact with your dampness. He shushes you once again with the ruggedness of his voice while you hear the clinking of what you assume to be his belt buckle.

He wastes no time sinking a finger straight into your entrance, only after giving your clit a moments time of blissful pleasure – gone far too quick for your liking. His digit glides easily, enticing him with the next stroke to join a second. Your mouth hangs open with heated pants, your lower stomach jumping excitedly at the intimacy of your loved one, and your hips chase the stride of his fast pace.

“Shit, Yoongi!” you curse under your breath, feeling his free hand now snaking up your side under your shirt. His fingers alone create such friction that has your head lolling to the side and your inners clutching erratically. You don’t question your urgency, the impatient nature your body so willingly falls into, not when Yoongi is inches behind you lining up his engorged head to replace his fingers.

The two of you don’t care about the surrounding areas, too filled with lust. Too drunk on the idea of Yoongi coming back to you – and he is too excited knowing he has you in his clutches.

Heat courses throughout your core and abdomen, running down each of your limbs the moment his hips are pressed against your backside, dick submerged in one swift jolt forward. You lose your footing, falling further into the wall as your forearms plant into the building. A guttural moan leaks out of him the moment you yelp and squirm under him. His fingers desperately hold around your waist as he straightens his back, giving the next few experimental thrusts the slower motion your pussy needed from his harsh action.

Yoongi’s hip snaps back into you, bringing the flesh of your ass into the seat of his lap. He seethes through his teeth, “Fuckin’ hell!”

You’re restricted from widening your legs no thanks to your pants locking you in place, but this also gives a tighter sensation against his swollen cock. He doesn’t give you too much time to recuperate and catch your bearings, too honest with his mission and surging forward to bring the two of you to the brink.

“Stand,” he grunts with an arm circling around your waist. With his help you’re press flush against the wall and his chest, completely stuck between two hard places. Yoongi’s pace is rapid, the slaps of skin melt into the sounds of the fallen raindrops. It’s not long for his cock to jam pleasantly into the sweet spots within your silky walls, his thrusts determined to continue their gyrating motion deep inside you.

He chuckles at the lewd moans you release, head tilted back against his shoulder as you breath for air. “You really don’t care if someone hears you, huh? What do you think they’ll do, seeing the best shot in town being railed by a rogue criminal?”

Yoongi’s words course through your ear, his teeth coming to bite the flesh behind it. Your mind is too cloudy to think straight, not when he was inside of you both physically and emotionally. “T-they’ll hate me.”

“Is that so?”

You hum because that’s all you can do. The knot tightens in your stomach, the dull ache between your legs distorting itself into an electrifying spark has you cursing Yoongi’s name to go faster, harder. Yoongi feels you tightening around his prodding cock, only causing him to buck into you rougher.

Orange locks find their way between your fingers, tightening your grip on his hair the faster that band within you reaches towards its peak. “Yes! Yes, yes, please –“

The moment your body feels his inked fingers sneak their way to your clit, pinching it harshly, pulls a shriek of pleasure from your throat. Your body snaps under him – back arching as your walls clasp around his cock. “A-ah!” you shout while your orgasm rushes to all corners of your body, a tingly sensation vibrating through every fiber of your being.

Yoongi smirks as his pace doesn’t halt, now latching both of his hands to your hips he directs all movements. He enjoys your dispute of over-sensitivity, knowing how much you secretly like it from all the times in the past.

“One more, I know you have it in you. I’ve seen it before.” His voice is rough, any tang of sweetness swept away. “I’ll continue to fuck into this pussy until you cum again.”

Without stopping for a breather your body rushes into overdrive, it continues to squirm in his grasps and your legs shake dangerously underneath you. All thoughts of remaining quiet have gone out the window. Your second orgasm is set to fire, ready to be kicked off the edge into infinity, and with one quick shove of Yoongi’s cock that sinks all the way to ram into your cervix has you keening over and over.

Your pussy pulsates around his dick inconsistently, holding onto the appendage like a vice. It triggers his frenzy, his release spilling deep inside your well spent walls with dirty grunts. His arms hold around you tightly, helping you stand straight and to assist himself at the same time. Together both of your breathes are resounded, heated air escaping around the two of you in puffs of smoke.

You wince when his softening cock slips out of you, leaving gravity to aid in the way his cum drips casually out of your hole. Yoongi doesn’t allow you to turn and face him before he’s hoisting up your bottoms, the fabrics too annoyingly drenched to feel comfortable against your skin.

When you finally turn to speak to him he’s already readjusting his pants up along his hips, securing the button to his pants as he eyes you for a quick second. His hair is even more of a mess than before, no doubt you looked remotely better.

Dropping your mouth to talk, Yoongi averts his gaze to your rifle laying to the side. “Yoongi, I –“

“Don’t.”

His eyes narrow at the device that labels the reality of everything, where the two of you stand no matter how much you tango with another. A snort leaves him as he finishes off the buckle to his belt and you can tell by the way his facial features flicker than he’s having a complicated inner dialog going on inside his mind.

“Yoongi!” You press, grabbing hold of his shoulders to shake him slightly. “Yoongi please look at me, please don’t walk away from me.”

After a deep breath he exhales slowly, blank eyes now directed at you. There’s confusion painted over your face from the way you aren’t understanding why Yoongi suddenly steps even closer to place another kiss onto your lips, but it causes you to stop thinking momentarily. His lips, plump and plush, are the only things you can think about – until he’s pulling away too fast.

Back now facing you, he strides down the alley in which you found him. As if this heated interaction, and everything it consisted of, seized to exist anymore – the time has passed.

You take a wobbly step in his direction, hand reaching towards the figure that distances itself further from your grasp. “Yoongi, please!” You cry.

Behind you is your rifle, only feet away, and in front of you is the man you continuously chase. You’re torn between the two, the feeling of your mind splitting in half causing you to have a mental debacle with yourself. You scream with frustration; tears stream down your face at what your heart truly wants.

To stop the criminal at large or to join him?

You didn’t notice how Yoongi stops in his tracks, head tilted to look behind him with his piercing yellow eye standing out through the darkness. He watches you curiously, the environment around the two of you officially draws itself back into reality. Once he hears your scream of defeat he completely turns to face you with the widest grin smeared across his mouth.

“Hey, Y/n...” He pauses to wait until he knows you’re listening to him – and of course you immediately do so. Yoongi cocks his head to the side with a sense of arrogance radiating from the way his body stood. You desperately look at him with a plea, but your facial features harden at his next words. And they lace, deadly, within your mind.

Yoongi sighs, running one of his hands through his hair. Again, he knows he already has you, ruined you, and now he completely and absolutely owns you whether you like it or not. Yoongi playfully lifts his fingers to cross them together, a sign of a heart sent straight to you, “Get jinxed.”

ship your moots!

GLADLY I WILL! 💕 (this is just a list of mootz off the top of my head! if I didn’t include you it’s not personal I promise 🥰 I just have a squirrel brain) ((I might do some matchups in the future this was a lot of fun to write!! and I know I missed a bunch of moots ): maybe next milestone I’ll do it ahhh))

@onwiings — I honestly cannot decide between Eren or Levi, so, I ship Len in a poly relationship with the both of them. the depth of Len’s soul is vast and never ending and such a perfect match for Levi, but her Aries childlike curiosity and humor is so Eren it’d be a crime to ignore their chemistry. Levi is so well equipped to take on the brat taming, (as is Len OOOOOH) and Eren is the biggest brat of them all.

I’m visualizing the three of them walking down a farmer’s market placed in the street in their favorite city to visit on vacation. Levi with his usual sour stoic expression acting like he’s not beaming with happiness while Eren and Len can’t stop giggling at pointing at stalls they want to visit. Len is immediately drawn into some stand selling homemade soaps, and Eren is utterly confused by the names. “What the fuck does watermelon lavender even smell like? THIS MAKES NO SENSE!” and Levi is like, “You’re an idiot. If she wants to buy it, let her.” “BUT IT MAKES NO SENSE—“ “LEN WILL BUY IT IF SHE PLEASES.” and Len is like 🧍🏻‍♀️ I just wanted to smell wtf

@ryukatters — I know you want me to pick Eren. you don’t even know I’m writing this and I can feel you screaming at me to pick Eren.

HOWEVER, I’M NOT GOING TO SHIP YOU WITH ANY EREN JUST WALKING DOWN THE STREET, I CARE ABOUT YOU TOO MUCH. so, SIMP EREN!!! wholesome SWEET Eren!!

I already wrote this, but Eren playing guitar by a bonfire on a beach with Kat. just the two of them as they goof around, utterly and completely in love with each other. Aries and Aries energy is so silly, so pure. (the fights I won’t get into but they’re stubborn af but just refer to feral on this one) just complete GOOFBALLS! Eren also buys matching hand cuff bracelets that say “partners in crime” because you’re really his best friend. he just loves you with his whole heart. BEST FRIENDS TO LOVERS TROPE!!!

Eren is so sweet, but he’s especially sweet for you. he truly, utterly, and completely adores you. you’re his favorite girl, the only one in the world he sees. and he cannot wait to see you in that pretty white dress walking down the aisle one day. (he’s had the ring picked out from the second he met you)

@mochi-vulpine — my dear sweet Mochi. sweet, lovable, silly Mochi. evil laughter.

ONLY. and I mean ONLY, am I not shipping you with Erwin because I want to see you torture Levi. I want front row tickets to see you sabotage his tea stash, that toilet paper prank you told me about, EVERYTHING. enemies to lovers. I think you’d bring out the fun side of Levi, a playful innocence he was neglected of in his childhood. you’d make life fun, no matter how inconvenient your pranks would be. and he’ll never admit it, but he genuinely looks forward to see what you do next. if you skip a day, do absolutely no hi-jinx’s or shenanigans, Levi is so concerned and even disappointed. he’s checking everywhere — surely he had missed whatever you’d planned for him? when he discovers nothing, he’s high tailing it to come and find you. you’re just hanging out, in bed maybe drawing something.

“What’s wrong with you?” you’re so confused, “What are you talking about? I’m literally fine?” “Don’t lie to me.” “LEVI I’M LITERALLY JUST LAYING HERE WHAT’S YOUR DEAL?” and he gets all flustered, and he BLUSHES. “Nothing. Go back to what you were doing.”

“You missed me, didn’t you?” “Shut up.” “I hid your paperwork, you have 24 hours to find it, or else all the nails in your desk disappear.” “GOD FUCKING DAMMIT—“

@astridthevalkyrie — ngl, I’m really struggling to pick someone. just because you could fit so well with so many of the aot people. but, I just remembered you begging for a certain anon, and a few ideas popped into mind. so, I’m shipping you with Petra.

Astrid just genuinely cannot believe someone like Petra exists, you immediately fall in love with her courage, her innate glow of confidence. and the more you get to know her, you fall in love with her sweetness, she’s so nurturing and caring. her smile brightens her entire face, and you swoon. and she’s in the exact same state of mind.

because you are so SMART, so intelligent and have so many interests and hobbies. Petra will keep a list of them all, even if they don’t fancy her interest. she’ll ask questions, implore you to explain why exactly you love that color you do, why that’s your favorite animal. Petra will curl up in the couch with you, snuggle deep into the blankets, and watch whatever you have on the TV. even if it’s the 4th season of whatever, even if she’s never seen a single episode. she’ll gently poke your side, give you a confused look, and smile so big when you start explaining the backstory.

and while I think Petra is incredibly sweet and gentle, if someone ever dared to insinuate even a hint of disrespect towards you, they’d be laid out on the floor before they could even think about finishing their sentence.

@bagsyy — like there’s any other answer but Jean. perfect boyfriend Jean. he loves Cass, so much it scares him sometimes. he feels so safe, so secure with you. Cass is his HOME. the only person in the world he trusts enough to completely open up to, share his darkest thoughts and deepest feelings.

manifesting you and Jean laying side by side in bed together, connected by your intertwined hands as you just talk. as soon as he closes his mouth, you crack a joke to lighten to mood, and he just laughs. laughs harder than he ever has before, because you get him. you understand him, you see him. he never ever doubts your loyalty, your intentions. and you never doubt his.

true love. soul mates. twin flames. the kind of love your childlike self imagined when you were young and innocent. Jean is your Prince Charming.

@liashideout — Armin. Armin Armin Armin. he would find you so completely fascinating. asks to hear about every opinion you could possibly have. plans extravagant dates, maybe not in price but in sentimental value. you want to go out shopping? he’s taking you to the biggest shopping center he can find, even if it’s like a 2 hour drive. you want to go to the museum? good because he already bought tickets and planned the entire day down to your snack breaks. you just want to hang out at home and watch movies? he was already on his way over with your favorite ice cream, your favorite snacks, and has a takeout delivery in route to your house.

Armin the sweetest boy, Armin who wears his heart on his sleeve. he will support you 1000% in any single thing you do, and will go out of his way to make sure you accomplish your goals. and he’s so attentive. can figure out your mood in a split second, you almost think he can read your mind. YOU GUYS NEVER FIGHT BECAUSE OF THIS! argue or disagree, yes, but full on fighting? he’s too empathetic for that, and harsh words never go anywhere. he’s there to protect you, to guide you. to bask in your warmth and your smile. there are no bad days with him, and he makes it his mission to spend every moment with you like it’s his last.

#nonnie 🖤#ask gamez #cherieanswers #mootz 🖤
