RAMBLE ABOUT UR ARCANE EKKO SELFSHIP!!! DO IT WHILE IM STILL FRESH IN THE FANDOM (I have finished watching it don't worry)

I AM 100% INTERESTED IN THEM PLEASE RAMBLE💖💖

Well…if you insiiist…

This is REALLY long, don’t feel pressured to read all of it. At this point it might as well be a fic but just with my ramblings

OKAYOKAYOKAYOKAY

So my sona’s name is Abigail and goes by Abbie (name pending!) and she is a rich bitch. She’s not from Piltover, she’s still from Zuan so her family isn’t THAT rich, but I would think her family has connections to the people that work with Silco (you know the guys at the long table??? Idk what they’re called) so they’re more well off than the average family in the under city. Definitely a bit spoiled, but here’s the thing, Abbie does her best (her parents don’t really let her) to work for herself, sure she’s well off, but she doesn’t want her family to be why she gets anywhere in life, she wants that all to be her and her alone.

So when Silco starts to reign and shimmer becomes something she doesn’t really know what to do. Sure, she does her best to be independent, but she’s still a smug, cocky, and spoiled brat, so worried for her own safety, she works for Silco. Not one of his right hand men, he probably doesn’t even know her name, BUT she does do some of his dirty work for the reward of Shimmer. (I haven’t watched season 1 in a while so sorry if this isn’t correct at all, at this point I’m making up my own cannon) and she gets ADDICTED. Not really in the strength way, but in the way that it makes her feel worthy. She doesn’t use enough to become super strong or whatever, but to just give her that rush.

Luckily, she stops herself before it gets to a point that it would be deadly, BUT I think the overuse of shimmer would cause a huge scar on her face. Her face that her family prided themselves on, her face that she was taught that was the most important thing about her, her face that she used to survive on the streets.

So breaking out of her shimmer addiction, now with self esteem issues, she joins the firelights, not because she needs their support (that’s what she keeps telling them anyway) but because she thinks they need her support.

Ekko, when he first meets her, HATES her, and I mean HATE. What does she know about struggling? Her whole life was given to her, unlike him who had to work for it all.

And in turn, Abbie hates him, she hates that he doesn’t even take a second glance at her to try to see past her rich background. To see how hard she actually tries. We love a good enemies to lovers

It doesn’t help that Abbie HATES training for fighting. She never fought physically in her life, her main talents are manipulation (her parents didn’t get that rich by being completely honest after all, they taught her a thing or two) This only makes Ekko thinks she’s a spoiled brat even more

But surprisingly, Ekko’s the first to fall. I think it starts (or at least when the hatred starts to dwindle) when he spots her babysitting and playing with the kids. Instead of being her usual snobby self, not wanting to get dirty, she’s letting their dirty hands play with her hair that she cares so much about, her clothes, hell she even rolled in the mud with them. Ekko usually sees her fussing over her looks (again, her parents taught her that) so seeing her throw out her worries for some kids really makes him question his first impression about her.

He doesn’t despise her now, he doesn’t enjoy her, they’re not friends (Abbie still hates him) but there’s at least a little of respect there. Instead of seeings her as ‘that one firelight recruit who’s just a rich brat who’s used to having everything handed to her’, he now sees her as ‘spoiled brat who’s not used to this kind of stuff but is good with kids’ an improvment.

But when he actually starts falling for her is when he sees how hard she was actually trying this whole time. Character development goes brrr because when she first joined she hated training, but trying to prove to Ekko that she’s worth something (not because she feels like she needs to prove herself to him, she’s just being petty) she starts training. So when Ekko stumbles in on her training until the middle of the night, exhausted, he just stares for a moment, noticing the bags under her eyes, the sweat dripping down her forehead, how tired her arms looked yet she still kept going. He left before she could notice him, but strangely he started to smile at her through the halls of the base, laughing at her sarcastic remarks instead of scoffing, and now she spots him staring at her with a dopey smile.

Abbie, takes a bit more long to start to actually like him, but she definitely falls harder. Honestly, at first (and even afterwards, although she would never admit it,) she admired Ekko. unlike her who was handed everything, he worked for everything. He made this beautiful society all on his own, not with the help of almost anyone. She almost wants to be like him.

So it’d be an understatement to say she was hurt when he didn’t hide his distaste for her, calling her spoiled, which was true but the least he could do was pretend he didn’t mind her. So her dislike towards him was mostly out of petty, she is very much petty almost all the time, I’m really not hiding the fact that if I met her irl I would punch her (which is somewhat concerning since she’s my own sona)

But she starts falling for him when she’s playing with some of the kids and he joins in (I definitely imagine a scenario, not necessarily at this specific point in their relationship, maybe when they’re actually a thing, where they play the classic knight saves the princess game with the kids) she just pauses when she sees the tough guy leader mask fall off and a soft and caring guy shine through, a guy whose own childhood got stolen from him. She doesn’t fall for him right away, but her pettiness at least starts to chip away.

But what really does it for her is when he asks her to help him with some paper work (nothing fancy, just food shipments and plans for future missions) because she, out of anyone there was used to paper work (again, her family background). She does it, expecting him to be nit picking at everything over her shoulder, but instead, he joined in, putting in his own ideas while…listening to hers. Something no one else in her past did before. If she ever gave her own ideas in any family meetings or whatever they would have, her parents would just brush it off, brush her off.

It would probably end with her falling asleep and him leaving his jacket on her for a blanket, and when she wakes up and realizes she recognizes his smell on the jacket, she knew she was in deep shit.

Usually I like making my self ships fumbling between the ‘friends (…or more…?)’ stage. But I love imagining them as a power couple, often arguing like an old married couple.

I think that when they both gained feelings for each other they would both hide them from each other, knowing that with how the world was at the moment, romance should be the last thing on their minds. I honestly think the way they would confess is if someone (maybe Ekko) would be talking and let something about their feelings slip unintentionally, cue the other just slowly turning their head to stare at them. They continue walking, trying to ignore how awkward everything was now, before Abbie slowly bumps him with her shoulder, intertwining their pinkies together, and slowly they awkwardly transition into friends but now they sometimes kiss and cuddle and hold hands and giggle while whispering to eachother during firelight meetings and sleeping in the same bed.

I like to think that Abbie had never loved literally anyone else in her whole life. Her family she thought she loved, but really, the only feelings she had for her parents were respect, they raised her, she respected them for that, but she didn’t love them, and they didn’t love her. But Ekko, Ekkos she loves. And that scares her. She knows she’s not perfect, especially her looks that she thought was the best part of here so she worries about not being enough for him.

—————————————————————————

Sorry for the rambling, here’s just some general headcanons now.

>Ekko used to call her princess in a taunting way, but after getting together, he uses it as if he thinks it’s actually true, he wouldn’t doubt it if she was actually secretly one of the princesses that he’s read in the fairytales

>Other than princess, Ekko also calls her babe, brat (when they’re acting like a old married couple) firefly, shortie, etc

>Abbie calls him clock boy, captain, handsome, knight in shining armor, light of my life (usually when’s eh broke something or is asking him for something)

>Heimerdinger giving them knowing smirks whenever they whisper during meetings? Heimerdinger giving them knowing smirks whenever they whisper during meetings!!

>Speaking of Heimerdinger, he would so give Ekko ‘advice’ on how to make Abbie swoon, all to fancy and old school stuff that Ekko would want, but Abbie’s fancy so wouldn’t hurt to try, right?

>Ekkos favorite spot to kiss her would probably be her forehead, or her scar, while whispering about how he finds her beautiful even with it

>Abbies likes the classics. Loves kissing him on the lips. Also loves to tease him by kissing the back of his hand to fluster him

(I don’t know a good ship name for these two yet, please tell me if any of y’all can think of any lmao)

okay well i’ve been thinking about wayhaven celandine all day so here’s a fact dump (under the cut because it’s Long):

religiously does her nails - she used to bite them down to the nub when she was a kid and had a tendency to pick at her hangnails until she was bleeding, so the only thing that stops her from doing that when she’s worried/stressed is by wearing nail polish/acrylics

online shops Way more than she should and spends too too too much money on her clothes. she wants to feel sexy and badass All The Time and intimidate people by feeling sexy and badass. lots of very very simple and understated tops but with sharp angles/silhouettes 

on the other hand, has a very minimalist house - she doesn’t have very many decorations or anything.... personal, really ? she has some fake plants to Liven the place up so it doesn’t look like an ikea set but besides that not much - pretty standard furniture, coasters, etc

was in the debate club in high school and fucking Rocked it. was 100% the top debater and the only time she ever really partied in high school was debate trips. she also played lady m*cbeth in 12th grade and like. was really good at acting ? briefly considered a career in it but wanted to do something more “respectable” (i say as a theatre major slkfjsdl)

she kept to herself in high school a lot besides that, and didn’t really get along with her teachers bc if they messed something up or said something dumb she Would Debate Them, yes she Is that type of person, yes it Does come from childhood trauma of her mother not being around and therefore celandine not respecting authority very much,

met bobby bc he was assistant stage manager for the show where she played lady m*cbeth lol !!! tbh she didn’t really care too much about bobby - sure, they dated for 3 years but she never really loved him, and it was never too serious of a relationship, they just went on dates and had sex a lot but didn’t really take it seriously or fully commit to each other

then, when he steals her essay or whatever it is and she finds out, she dumps his ass and doesn’t regret it for a second, mainly bc she feels embarrassed and angry that he got the better of her and somehow did that ? like stole her whole ass paper ? but also he’s crusty so she doesn’t really care besides that !!! she starts going on dates again right away so it doesn’t really matter, in fact bobby probably got the worst deal

keeps her dad’s wedding ring on her bedside table in a little ashtray. sometimes, when she’s INCREDIBLY sad or feels really lonely, she likes to hold it in her hand and talk to him. she doesn’t remember her dad, like, at all, but the only thing she ever wanted was for him to be alive so she wasn’t so lonely and didn’t grow up relying on only herself for so long

she’s really polite when someone needs her to be nice to them- she always thought that, if her dad helped protect people and took care of them, that she should when given the opportunity to make him proud. besides that, though, she isn’t at all friendly and can easily hint to someone that they should gtfo when she wants to be left alone - she just doesn’t really care about anyone else’s opinion of her really, she grew up so independent that herself is the only person she’s felt like she can rely on. tends to act polite anyway, if a little stiffly, because a lot of the time there’s no need to bitch someone out, but when she needs to... oh boy does she deliver

she likes tina and verda well enough, and tina is just generally hard to hate, even for someone like celandine. they’re pretty close and have had a couple of girls nights with wine and like. face masks and nail polish painting, but don’t do it very often because celandine doesn’t really want to do it very often slkfjslsdfk. having fun with people and getting close to people makes her second-guess every conversation she’s had with anyone ever and every person she’s pushed away so. it’s not good to dwell on it

she’s babysat for verda a couple of times and is actually decent with kids and is pretty good at Pranking them into eating their veggies and telling them exciting bedtime stories with voices and everything. she doesn’t do it anymore for a few reasons tho, mainly just that she doesn’t have the time

she is terrified of commitment because she just doesn’t have a lot of grace when it comes to relationships and feels like she is inevitably going to say something wrong or mean (not that she would, because like i said, when someone needs her to Not be mean, she isn’t mean) or she’s going to die/get busy and leave them feeling like she’s felt her entirely life and she’s had a very sad and lonely life so she wouldn’t wish that on anyone

that being said, once her and adam get together at Some point during the series, she just has. the absolute WORST baby fever. now that she is committed and has a future with someone - guaranteed bc no matter what happens her and adam will always stay together - she can not only be a better mom than rebecca ever was, but also she just wants to be the best mom in the world. she would be ! her kid would be so stylish and also would feel so loved and respected and cherished and she would kick the ass of any bully or teacher who tried to fuck with them !!! and she would be so good at bedtime stories and playing with her kid !!!

okay, so, now that the Fun facts are out of the way, onto her very obvious flaws: mean, likes to feel better than anyone, terrible spender (like terrible, i’m serious when i say she spends probably 40% of her work paycheck on clothes), absolutely so stubborn, gets really mad and belligerent when she’s proven wrong or loses at board games, no sense of artistry and is good at no artistic things besides acting lol LKSDJFLDS, stans Shakespeare and reads his books for fun, finds looking thru ikea catalogues and furniture catalogues relaxing, showers every day, has a 1 hour bedtime routine, and, on the other end of that, she cannot be roused out of bed if she doesn’t want to be !!! 

but she has good qualities too !!! she’s not Evil, she’s just mean, so she does have a good heart and DOESN’T like when people are cruel and hurt other people on purpose (something she very rarely does unless someone is rlly pissing her off), will do work for you if you need her to (her love languages are words of affirmation and acts of service), and if you’re close friends and once she’s let down her guard a bit throughout the series, she WILL be really fun at parties bc she is very witty, she is very supportive of you and yet will be honest if you need her to be, and she really will be super loyal to you for a long time - she’s scared of commitment but, when faced with the need to commit, she will do it !!!

also she’s a master couponer so if you’re her friend FUCK buying things full price, she’ll find you the best goddamn deal in the world !!!

her and adam’s date night ideas are: 1 - sparring together ! 2 - playing board games together that ends with the winner giving the loser consolation smooches until they feel like a winner too :) 3 - reading shakespeare together :) 4 - going on walks !!! 5 - doing work together and distracting the other with an occasional smoomch or a Loving Declaration before handing them the pen they asked for !!! 6 - drinking red wine and celandine asking adam for Juicy Historical Gossip ;3 7- sleeping !!! celandine isn’t grumpy if she wakes up to hot man smooches

okay that’s all i got thanks for reading okay bye
