[jicklet]

This is the little Ekko/Jinx moment that's been sticking with me:

Because on first watch, I expected this was going to be something negative. Ekko trying to defend why he'd been so hostile to Powder. 'You're not the kind of person who helps... because you destroy things,' or something to that effect.

But no.

oh

What a way to look at Jinx?? Even with everything she's done... He looks at this well-adjusted, 'ideal' Powder, and still thinks she's missing something that his Jinx has. The Powder that he knew was so determined to make something that mattered... it's a Powder who's content to play second-fiddle to the people around her, a Powder that settles that feels off to him.

And that ties into why he can't stay here. Our Ekko isn't the kind of person who settles either.

Characters I think are going to die in Arcane s2

The streets (Twitter) are saying that Arcane is now its own independent canon outside of League of Legends and that essentially anyone is fair game, champions included, so let’s think on who might get chopped

1. Sevika - I’m like 90% sure Sevika will die, some people say her dealing that death card in s1 is foreshadowing and I just see it as a very realistic possibility that she might sacrifice herself, potentially for Jinx (we’ll see) (I mean she already lost her arm twice three times is too many she has to die now)

2. Viktor - Where is that man? They’re gatekeeping him harder the deceleration of independence which means he’s extremely plot heavy this season and therefore a strong contender for a possible death.

3. Jinx’s mini me - I really just don’t want this to happen, so I’m sure that it will. In the event of baby Jinx’s death, I will need sedated. Not for my safety, but for the safety of the Arcane writers because I will be hunting them for sport.

4. Ekko - Again, I just don’t want this to happen so I fear that it will. He can just go back in time and fix it right? 🥹

5. Heimerdinger - What else is he there for?

6. Mel - She’s also been pretty gatekept in the trailers and released content but I find it very hard to believe she would let Ambessa make the advancements she’s making were she alive (even if she just survived a terrorist attack) I think she might have survived Jinx’s rocket because she is seen in one of the trailers very briefly from incredibly far away, but I don’t know if she’s making it to the end.

7. Singed - I just wish he would he’s weird and bald.

8. Jinx - I very much see Jinx faking her death and potentially leaving Piltover indefinitely at the end which I would hate, but I could also very well see her sacrificing herself, which I would also hate. Her death does seem least likely compared to others however.

That bisexual characters poll contest where Luz Noceda went up against Percy Jackson really summs up how wlw rep is viewed vs how mlm rep viewed.Luz is a baby butch on-screen with an explicit romance arc with another girl reinforced throught literally half the show of them dating and Percy is considered canonically bi because.......she's amab and described men as conventionally attractive.Not that she was attracted to them but that they fit beauty standards and her fandom had a meltdown when the official website called her straight despite her hating almost the men in question.The Luz x her canon girlfriend shippers also got way more of a bad rep for making fun of Luz's platonic m/f rep that were implied to be found siblings as a romantic ship yet nobody says anything about the Percy,an 18 year old,x Luke and the gods,7 years her senior and men as old as creation itself,shipping.Percy's also heavily transfem-coded but if you say it you get smackdabbed with Masculinity Matters and if you say to not ship Luz's canon lesbian girlfriend in ships with men you get called a biphobe

would anyone read a cyberpunk 2077 x arcane fic? if so who would u wanna see in it?

[pidgydraws]

i was too fucked up at the time to be able to take part in this fandom during season 1 and WHAT (O A O) i am realizing is that there was a really loud subsection of peeps who were SO MEAN to the goodest, saddest, most pathetic boy in Piltover. and i do NOT get it????

bullying him? valid. hella valid. everyone should bully Jayce. but vilifying him?!?! WUHH???? when everyone was up-in-arms after episode 6 i thought it was just people being incensed over Viktor~ but NAH! some people really wanted to hate him! (and how could literally everyone not have been sobbing their eyes out on his behalf at the time??????)

Everyone in Arcane is fucked up~ but the idea that people would see this foolish idealist - this brilliant, naive boy - who's so full of love that he'd rather DIE than be unable to effect positive change in the world... some would see him be manipulated, make bad choices, be blinded by his own place in the world, and struggle and claw to find a way to be good, do good, and save the people he loves~ see him LEARN from and GRIEVE his every wrong turn, and would still VILIFY HIM???? dammmnnnn~

((O v O)) i'm glad i wasn't here for that. Jayce isn't even my favourite character, but i'm dumbfounded on his behalf. i was NOT watching the same show as a percentage of people. and that's WILD to me.

If anything~ learning that just makes me love him even more now. I was always, and will always be, on team: "Jayce did everything wrong and he is still the most good boy."

Saw a post years ago that pointed out that all the black characters they saw that were represented without racist caricatures were done with white hair (with few exceptions)

And they went on to say that there are too many brown/brown/otherwise POC characters like that (especially women) like Kida from Atlantis

And since reading that, every time I see a fire, badass, beautiful POC characters with white hair, all I can think about is that post

Like Kalim Al Asim from TWST or Kida from Atlantis, Storm from X-Men and Mirko from BNHA. Hell, even Asra from Arcana or Ekko from Arcane/League of Legends

And there are countless more that I've seen done in a similar fashion, too

All of these characters are awesome, beautiful, badass representations that are extremely well done!

But they're all done with white hair. It makes me, as a white person, wonder if artists do this simply because the white balances out beautifully against brown skin

Or the more likely answer, where perhaps they do it as a way to make them 'desirable' brown characters. It feels odd and off (even though I love seeing BIPOC with all sorts of cool hair colours, it's the way it's done that makes me feel strange about it bc it happens so often)

Like,,, let them have darker skin AND darker hair.

Hell, let black characters have darker hair, darker skin, AND ETHNIC HAIR. Give them locs, or braids, or actual coils, or textured hair of any kind. Give them bantu knots, twists, etc.

You can draw all these crazy clothes and spiky hairstyles, but not ethnic hair?

Bullshit.

(edit before anyone sees this: would love LOVE comments/reblogs detailing anyone else's thoughts, especially if you're BIPOC!! as a white person, I'd really like to see your opinions on this frequently-used 'stereotype' in media. I would like to know, too, if my feeling uncomfy with the stereotype portrayed is just me not having any BIPOC experience to personally draw off of or if it's something others feel and notice too.)

[sunshine-zenith]

Listen… I stand by all my cancelled wives but some of these guys did or looked past some wild shit that would be federal offenses, all without getting high on magic. If Viktor and Jayce survived, I think Viktor’d get out just fiiiiine lmao

Bonus — they trauma dumped in a round to make Viktor feel better about his magical mass murder. It didn’t help

(Obligatory this is a joke lol)

(Bonus bonus just a cute jayvik moment cut

[lady-griffin]

Kind of dark, but I’m just imagining an enforcer on the bridge not quite dead yet, seeing the looks Ekko and Jinx are giving each other and thinking –

What the fuck is happening here? Are they going to fuck or fight to the death? Can my death just not be a part of this?

[goodieghosty]

This took me several days... my hand hurts

main oc is Colette Aspis! She doesn't know what tf is going on lmao

long story short, she's the (un)lucky favorite of a god of rebirth, gal's gonna wake up in a previously dieng person's body, completely fine, with her own memories intact. gonna be v traumatic for the pppl who's loved one's body she's taken over. the body Will eventually start changing to look more like herself, over time.

Anyways, some of my fave pics below caption

My 2024 Art vs Artist!

[blackrosesmatron]

Plotted starter to @jynxd

She had been observing the boy for some time now. He was one of many orphans left behind after the failed riot on the bridge that connected Piltover and Zaun. Orphaned twice, in fact—his last caregiver had been murdered the previous year, leaving the poor child to fend for himself in the undercity.

Zaun showed no mercy to anyone, and it could be especially cruel to the young. Yet, the way this boy navigated the lanes, slipping past danger without ever being caught, piqued her interest. He had potential. What he needed was someone to guide him, to refine his raw skills and give them purpose.

With this in mind, LeBlanc came up with a simple plan to lure him closer. Disguised as a gang leader, she strolled through the lanes, she was the personification of confidence and danger. She wore a sleek leather jacket, skin-tight black leggings, and thigh-high stiletto boots. Her neck gleamed with silver and gold chains, which matched the earrings dangling from both ears, shimmering with every step.

Stopping at a random food vendor, she ordered something to eat, her movements casual yet calculated. The Matron didn’t need to glance over her shoulder to know the boy was watching her every move. All she had to do now was wait for him to make his.
