#i have some but like. Dont have like. Finishing the game lol?

[mysticmoon1415]

There are definitely moments in arcane's ending that were ?? but half of tumblr is missing the point of the ending methinks lol

Obviously it's not completely confirmed. But I 100% am sure that Jinx didn't die. I think even if there are decisions that the Arcane writers made in the ending being a little.. questionable, I dont think they would go to the extent of having the character who was suicidal actually dying as a heroic sacrifice. Not to mention who's the face of LoL.

Other users have already pointed out kid Jinx's wish of riding an airship at one point, and the last scene being an airship, and Cait looking over the schematics of the Hex tower with a slight smile on her face.

But what a lot of people seem to missing is the conversation that Jinx was having with Silco while in her cell, about ending cycles of violence. Right before Vi showed up, he said "I think the cycle only ends when you find the will to walk away". That's too much of an impactful line to be thrown away.

After killing Vander/Warwick (for the second time lmao) and finally bringing an end to what she started all those years ago, I think if Jinx had actually stuck around it would have continued to be a cycle like Silco mentioned. Even with Vi reconciling with her. Even if Cait was fine with it and got past her personal grievances. Jinx being the face of undercity rebellion, and before that part of silco's empire, and being one of the nexus points of violence and chaos in Piltover would have continued that cycle. We already saw this begin with Isha, who was the new generation in this cycle. Obviously sucks the hell for Vi, but Jinx "dying" but actually walking away is a mostly new slate for everyone involved. Only after finishing everything that was started by Jinx (unlike if she had actually succeeded in bombing herself at the Last Drop), and leaving, it successfully ends the cycle of killing.

Is it a happy ending? Not really, Arcane was always geared up to be a tragedy, even if they followed it so that the champions ended up as they are in the game. Should maybe the indications of Jinx being alive been a little more clearer? Perhaps, but also Arcane is a show built on little details and callbacks, the ending says it all. But I'm pretty sure that Jinx is still alive and probably going around terrorizing some poor confused vastaya with 'get jinxed' or becoming a pirate in Bilgewater or something of the sort lol.

@korshrimpski (EDIT: it won’t?? let me tag you. unless these are on separate lines <3)

what's in-progress in your life <3 writing? art? recipe? skill acquisition?

if any crafty people see this - if ANYONE sees this - and would like to join in, feel free and consider yourself tagged <3 (and tag me back so i can see your stuff!!!) link to 18minutemajor's post if yall curious :3 my VERY long wip dump + ramblings under the cut!

its christmas soon and i like to paint gifts for my friends + and i'm finally revisiting my anime/lineart/inking era (here you are K!! my lineart past, present, and future!! <3) so here are some things i've been working on/coming back to/MAY NEVER FINISH: hockey related:

this is juraj slafkovsky and his dinky little middle part which he can absolutely learn to style into something a little less dinky but never does. i am so charmed by him. i imagine he just rocks it because his pretty privilege supersedes dinky middle parts . LMAO!!

here is Sasuke from my Naruto Hockey AU. I am a little stuck on jersey mockups lol. here he is. our haunted little 1OA who is absolutely normal and regular about his captain (LOUD incorrect buzzer):

personal oc art

wanna know some puckpocketed deep lore? i've never been one to make OCs. i was just not a very creative kid tbh. spent all my time drawing sailor moon instead. i still go back to her sometimes because she is one of my favourite shapes in the WORLD!!

in my 20s i took up playing d&d because of the. uh. plague. <3 and got pretty close to having OCs!! those count right? anyway. here is my tavern-wench-turned-wizard!!! i think i painted this 2 years ago? <- put dates on your works guys it saves lives. her name is Mel (short for Melins (pronounced like melons. on account of her knockers. can you tell i never grew out of my 12 yr old booby/cock joke era?) i revisited Mel recently and have started painting her in earnest again!! :3

I briefly dated someone who was very into streetwear and fashion, and I fell down a techwear/gorpcore/cyberpunk rabbit hole for a couple days out of curiosity. i remember literally zero salient info on any of it except the broad strokes of silhouetting and Vibes. what i emerged with, however, was a ?? sorta OC?? im not sure what to call them. they dont rly have a name or gender. I did this little sheet ages ago + the aborted attempt at a portrait later:

Here are my most recent explorations (i have been doing SOOOO much art. <3) which include:

unfinished character sheet + chibi art. I played with their jacket (much more structured/square/tailored thing) and added a lotta random buckles and belts. i took textiles class years ago and have a little experience in garment construction. and i know for a fact this thing does not make any sense. it hurts me to look at a little bit LMAO so i've paused it while i go draft patterns (badly. i was never good at drafting. i think i may have to break out my scrap fabric stash and hand sew a real life mock-up. HELP!)

here is me having fun with them and imagining them as some kind of cyber-fisherman. the best part of every game is the fishing mini-game to me. i love fishing mini-games so much. I made their hair really big because i wanted them to have big unwieldy hair and the vibes told me i should add more movement to the piece aside from the fishing line. I messed with their jacket AGAIN because i can't stop thinking about what kinda jacket they'd wear. gorp-core ? idk. it sure is something!

gifts for my friends :3

back in my weeb era for real YAYYYY!!! up til now i'd been making hockey art using a zero pressure sensitivity pen brush because i simply did NOT want to deal with that. it is and has always been a barrier to me making art that uses line art. <3 easing my way back into it though!

I used to paint gifts for my friends and then get them printed into lil posters and mount them on nice backing :3 i am now ready and back to painting.

Here is my girlbestie's OC. just a rough pose sketch. i think im pretty unsatisfied with the gesture of the head/hand. i wanted to include her gun in some way. i fear i may have to rework the pose entirely <3

For the genshin girlies.. here are some of my friends fave characters.

Yelan - this one i started many holidays ago and put on the backburner because the colouring was wigging me out. you can see where i started rendering stuff + got sidetracked and started on something else (the crystal choker IM LAUGHING @ past me...)

Ayaka - I reaaally like what i did here with the perspective + foreshortening. I don't know if the pose or expression is in-character or not, but i had fun :3 got stunlocked looking at references of genshin weapons so this is where i left off:

if you made it all the way down here hi... <3 ice hockey really cracked the ketchup bottle open for me when it comes to making art again. i love the communities i've found, and i'm inspired by every artist on here every day. thanks for being so cool + have a great day :)

[glamfellens]

hello. im having mixed feelings about veilguard. also. if i had a penny for every time a long awaited sequel absolutely obliterated and went scorched earth on a favourite place/faction of mine **this year**, i'd have two pennies, but its weird that it happened twice.

STOP. I'm getting choked up

[arolesbianism]

Earlier I encountered another fun isat glitch while fighting the king but this time instead of Odile crashing my game she decided to just stop taking damage and tbh that's how it should be all the time. About to take damage? Don't.

[hiddenbeks]

thinking abt her :)
