I feel this is somewhat fitting for today,
So reader comforting sev after silco died (I feel she is the most sad out of everyone because she always saw him as some sort of father figure ngl and he sorta neglected her or never validated her)
-🫖
:( my poor baby. he's like her fucked up bestie/boss/dad
men and minors dni
they send lock or deckard to tell you if sevika's gonna be late getting home.
thieram if she's drunk and moping at the bar.
but ran only ever comes when something bad's happened.
and jinx has never accompanied any of silco's goons on one of these errands.
you assume the worst. your heart drops to your ass at the sight of ran and jinx on your doorstep, both looking haggard and scared.
jinx reaches out and grabs your arm before you can start weeping, shaking you a bit. "relax, would ya? it's not her, she's fine she's just..."
you gulp, looking to ran. they sigh. "silco's dead. she's... just sitting in his office... drinking."
jinx breaks into tears on the walk to the last drop, disappearing in an alleyway for the night. ran is solemn as they lead you to the bar.
"w-what happened?"
"dunno. jinx won't say. think she mighta killed him." ran shrugs. "think she did something bad in piltover too. shit's stirring and silco's dead and sevika's supposed to take over if this happens but--"
"take a breath." you say, patting your friend's back. "'s okay. she's gonna be fine."
this isn't true. but you know your wife wouldn't want you telling her troops any different. sevika's going to wake up sobbing for years to come, just another thing on the long list of losses that haunt her. you'll be there, though, like you are now-- to hold her and let her cry in your chest-- to remind her that she's got you. and you've got her.
she's slumped asleep on the couch when you enter silco's office. ran leaves you alone, closing the door behind themselves as the leave.
"sev." you whisper, gently nudging your wife. she snaps awake, taking a moment to drunkenly register her surroundings and your face, before she bursts into silent tears, leaning forward to bury herself against you. "fuck, honey." you coo, wrapping her up into a hug. "i'm so fuckin' sorry."
"i can't believe he fucking died. he's fucking invincible!" she cries. your heart shatters, and you kiss her scalp.
"sevika, baby. you know he isn't."
"but-- it's my fucking job to make him invincible and--"
"sev." you pull her face away from your chest, wiping up her tears and forcing her to look you in the eye. "it's your job to take over if shit goes south. that's your job. silco was not a god-- he was a man. and there is nothing you coulda done to save him, baby."
"i..." she trails off. you frown, already knowing what she was going to say, your heart breaking.
"you're gonna miss him."
she nods. "i fuckin' hate him, too." she says.
you chuckle, nodding. "i know, baby. that's the power of love."
sevika huffs and leans against you again. "how long do i have before shit gets real bad out there?"
"long enough to come home and get a proper sleep in." you say, dragging her toward the door.
sevika doesn't resist, letting you take her home. letting you care for her.
you kiss her before you leave the office, sweet and chaste but for long enough that you melt together. "thank you." you sigh.
"for what?"
"letting me take care of you before your big debut... sevika... the lioness of the lanes." you tease. sevika snorts at the nickname and rolls her eyes, and your heart flutters in your chest at the sound.
hi if u know who came up with the lioness of the lanes nickname pls lemme know so i can credit them!
taglist!

Do you think Deckard was a replicant?
If by "think" you mean "has argued like a giant dork for literal decades that he is, long after the poor person who asked me has lost interest", yes.

like i said before, i'm showing my sister arcane, here are some of her thoughts (we just finished ep 2):
she's not vibing with vi (haha vibing with vi)
"it's hard to look at heimerdinger"
"marcus is a bitch"
mylo gets on her nerves
like i said in the linked post, benzo and vander give off boyfriend/fwb vibes (specifically from the "above average" comment)
her ranking of the 5 kids (1. powder 2. claggor 3. ekko 4/5. vi and mylo (it flip flops depending on the scene) we counted ekko because...we felt like it)
"vander's better than me cause 'get the f out of my bar.' go drink somewhere else, oh wait, you can't"
"almost the whole council is a bitch. specifically the one with the ginko nuts"
the way they look unnerves her (like the way they look/are designed (ex: silco and singed) and especially the way they move)
"deckard is a bitch"
"viktor, don't sneak up on someone like that. 'oh am i interrupting?' YES"
she had a slight concern about caitlyn and jayce's age gap
"poor powder at the end with the thingy and good direction of vander's face of noticing the thingy" (by thingy she means the stuffed animal)
update: we finished all of act 1
update: we watched episode 4
update: we finished up act 2
update: we watched episodes 7 and 8
update: we finished the first season
#the red quotations are her exact words and everything else is just paraphrased or summed up thoughts#atp i gotta make a tag for showing ppl things#arcane#vi arcane#arcane powder#mylo arcane#claggor#mylo#powder#vi#claggor arcane#vander#viktor arcane#ekko#ekko arcane#caitlyn kiramman#jayce talis#benzo#heimerdinger#deckard arcane#silco#singed#marcus arcane#venux forces ppl to watch things

Silco: The False Revolutionary
Silco throughout season 1 makes claims of representing the cause of Zaunite independence and advocating for its people against Piltover's abuse. However his actions are significant source of the suffering and impoverishment of Zaun and his rise also prevented any effective beneficial movement for Undercity rights.
Silco hasshown a willingness and ability to lie, deceive manipulate and gaslight those around him. From convincing Deckard to become the first Shimmer mutant in Episode 2, and lying to Marcus about what he intended to do to Vander and Marshall Grayson and his continued manipulation and corruption of Marcus over the years. Even Jinx was not beyond his manipulations lying to her about the fate of Vi, SIlco thought Marcus had killed her and told Jinx she had left Piltover. He continued telling this lies even up to the end of Season 1. Silco also tries to pin Jinx's various attacks on the Firelights. Silco also either lies to Jinx when he says "I would never given you up" or he lied to Jayce when negotiating at Battery Point. This means we cannot trust a word of Silco's grand declarations and revolutionary promises. Beyond Silco being an unrepentant liar there is also the possibility that Silco is deceiving himself in addition to everyone else.
Silco's failure to bring about the Revolution could be explained by incompetence or ignorance on Silco's part, but this is undercut by his demonstrated effectiveness in corralling the Chem-barons, running his criminal empire and keeping his business free of Piltover interference until Vi is released by Caitlin. Silco laments Piltover's rise due to Hextech and the backwardness of Zaun but shows no willingness to do anything about it. He has no spies feeding him info on Hextech, Jinx only attacks the Progress Day exhibit in an impulsive reaction to Silco telling her to take a day off. Silco is not robbing Piltover bank's or stealing food or gas masks to redistribute to the poor of Zaun. He is not training insurgents, providing weapons or riling up the populace against Piltover, setting up marches, organizing political parties etc. . These are all tried and true tactics of revolutionary movements and insurgencies in both our history and fictional ones. For example the heist of the Imperial payroll in Andor was direclty inspired by a Bolshevik bank heist in Georgia before WWI. Silco had a decade from the death of Vander to Progress Day and he never took any sort of subversive action beyond those of a gangster. His failure to even try to bring about the independence of Zaun or to fight for its rights is truly damning. I think this shows Silco's actual priorities and they are not for Zaun's benefit.
In fact I would make the case that Silco never actually cared for the people of Zaun, as seen by his selling of Shimmer in the Undercity. In Seasons 1 and 2 we can see that Shimmer use is illegal in Piltover so Silco was not earning his money by selling to the rich and powerful but the truly poor and desperate. This act both impoverished Zaun and concentrated wealth in his and his gangster cronies hands. It created a generation of broken and desperate drug addicts willing to do anything to feed their addiction as seen with Huck in Season 1. This also created another generation of orphans and those abused by the gangsters Silco surrounded himself with. The Firelights who grew out of this despair are actually, truly a revolutionary movement unlike Silco's criminal cartel. When they attack Silco's blimp in Episode 4 they do not steal the Shimmer but burn it and we later see that Echo has deliberately formed them to oppose the ChemBarons and to get justice for those lost to Silco and his drugs. Silco of course then surrounded himself with greedy violent and amoral characters like Finn and Renni who would betray him the moment Piltover placed any pressure on the Chem-barons. The surviving Chembarons then following Silco's death turned on each other and fought a destructive multi-sided gang war as Piltover prepared to invade following Jinx's attack. The Firelights meanwhile survived not just SIlco's criminal reign but also the occupation by Piltover and Ambessa's Noxians. I hope I have sufficiently shown that Silco failed to actually build a movement for Zaunite independence or recruit underlings that actually believed in his cause, even his own daughter Jinx was remarkably apolitical compared to her sister Vi and could not see beyond her own issues except when Isha, or Sevika or Echo talked some sense into her. Silco created a predatory society that cannibalized itself for a decade
Now what about Jinx's theft of the Hex-gemstone and eventually his "deal" with Jayce? One, Jinx acted almost entirely by herself, stealing the gemstone in an unplanned act of mass violence, and she also also acted alone in deciphering Hextech and the building of Silco's weapon. In fact, Silco was positively livid until Jinx revealed she had stolen the gemstone, because she had killed enforcers and no doubt attracted attention from the Upper City. All Silco does is take a meeting with an emotionally broken Jayce who caves in less than a minute. Two, Silco depending on whether you believe him says he refuses to turn Jinx over to Jayce and voiding the peace deal with him and Piltover. Did SIlco on the cusp of achieving his life long dream, in who's name he had murdered Vander and his adopted kids and sacrificed so many Zaunites to the ravages of Shimmer while refusing to do anything to help the poor and downtrodden of the lanes? Or did he merely abandon a convenient lie or realized his own self-deception.
Silco's lies or self-deceptions make me doubt his revolutionary ambitions. As for his motivation I would point to his cruel behaviour towards Vander, seeking to kill his entire adopted family, and if you trust the Season 2 stuff, his friend Connol's two children Vi and Powder (Silco was absolutely going to murder Powder in season 1). This I think is the real motivator for Silco revenge, and in his own words "Respect" Furthermore, Silco reveals he would killed Renni's son if he was not already dead following her coup attempt. My point being Silco was a petty man driven by his own petty desires for revenge for real or imagined slights, he was lacking in any morals or higher ideals save for his love for Jinx which manifested as a toxic lies and violent destructive life.

Some angst for thought for the firelight au: Jayce gets shot by Jinx during an encounter (whether its like in the show where they're destroying a shipment of shimmer or something else) and Ekko getting reminded of seeing Benzo bleeding out after getting hit by Deckard. And he tries to keep it together, but he is panicking because his family is once again bleeding out in front of him.
Also the sad parallel of Silco being responsible for Benzo's death (Ekko's dad) and now Jinx, who used to be his friend, has injured the last person from his life before everything went wrong.
I imagine Ekko staying with Jayce while he recovers (taking the lighter route of Jayce being okay here) and holding his hand like he's scared that he'll disappear if he lets go. Like how he hugged Vi one last time before she left and then she was gone too. So, he holds onto Jayce like he'll disappear too if he lets go.
Well, yes, that is indeed angst for thought.
I had an art idea of Ekko sitting next to Jayce’s bedside after a bad raid, but I haven’t considered Jinx being the one to put him there. Oh, that’d hurt, exquisitely. More trauma for our poor boy.
Thank you very much for the kick to the heart, I needed it. 😭❤️

Page 58 - Shimmer (1/2)
MASTERLIST
TOP Prop explorations for shimmer inhalers MIDDLE Concept art for henchman on shimmer BOTTOM Concept art for Deckard's progression on shimmer
Shimmer inhalers
Some background designs too
Silco's Henchman (the one Vi punches repeatedly and he looses his lower jaw). His canon name is Gustove "The Scowler" Jowler as heard during the pitfight with Vi. He obviously was scraped as a Shimmer used since we never see him transform.
Deckard's shimmer progression. Poor boy, he was just a scared child/teen who made so many wrong choices due to his environment. I was pretty sad when his head appeared in Singed’s lab. All of the Zaunites in the series are all so tragic to me.
RIGHT AND ABOVE Concept art for Rio after Singed's experimentation
Our little Rio (possibly a Waverider)
Our beautiful girl, it's a pity she had to suffer so much. 😔
What I assume to be an early concept design behind the Shimmer vial and inhalers
ABOVE Jinx on Shimmer
TOP RIGHT Storyboard showing shimmer injection
Our dear doodler while being tortured
And lastly before Jinx's doodles, Shimmer injection
Jinx's doodles
She drew around Gustave's figure and under his eyes and did the same to Deckard
Added a little text "Hey you" to Deckard, I wonder how much of each other they knew, since in the Enemy music video it shows they all knew each other at some point before most of the kids joined Silco.
Jinx drew some kind of smoke seeping out of the shimmer vials
She also drew some cute little star antennas on our girl Rio and some appendages (sorry i don't know what they are called in English) on her back.
To complete it, she added a big smile to the portrait of her broken self.
That's all for today! This one was requested by 3 different people, so I hope you're satisfied 😊 Because I really liked this page. Have a nice day and April Fool's Day!
As I've written above, this is the first page of 2, the second one contains the concept arts for Noxian soldiers on shimmer killing Enforcers, Noxian berserkers, and Chemtank berserkers that attacked the memorial.
-> So if you want to see it, send an Ask, if not, I will probably skip it for now.

⊙ Sweets ⊙
Summary- After the explosion the group has to run back to Zaun, the crappy city they call home and deal with the consequences of their actions.
A/N- I’m in a writing mood so I’m getting a lot of writing out while I still can. This chapters word count is a LOT more than the others. Not proofread. As always constructive criticism is appreciated!!
Word count- 2705
Chapter 3
The girl stirred as Claggor lifted her up. She had fallen onto the ground after an…explosion?
“What…what happened..?” She asked, trying to ignore the ringing in her ear as she held her head with one hand. The screams of hostile enforcers snapped her out of her trance as the group made a beeline towards Zaun.
The loud horns on the top of buildings were now blaring as the group navigated their way through the winding streets of Piltover and past shocked and horrified citizens while angry enforcers chased them. “Faster!” Vi yelled as the group rapidly approached the rising bridge that connected Piltover to the edge of Zaun. She grunted as she jumped over the gap between the two sides of the bridge, looking behind her to make sure Powder got over safe.
She slammed into a wall as she followed Vi and Powder, quickly glancing at Claggor and Mylo behind her. She felt her legs going numb and prayed that she would be able to keep up with the group.
The group had finally made their way to a garbage chute large enough for them to fit through. “Cmon I just got this shirt!” Mylo protested but Vi kicked him into the garbage chute, resulting in him going through face first. The rest of the group quickly followed behind him.
The kids groaned as they landed on the gigantic pile of trash, no one enjoyed smelling like shit. “I thought that last time was the last time we were gonna do this..” Mylo muttered as he peeled a piece of mysterious, sticky green goo off of his head. “This is the last time” Vi replied, the annoyance in her voice obvious enough to get Mylo to shut up. “Well at least we’re all okay” The other girl stood up and dusted herself off.
“Guys what the hell was that-what happened” Claggor asked as the adrenaline started to disappear, causing him to be exhausted. At Claggor’s words everyone turned to Powder.
“I didn’t do anything!” Powder yelled to defend herself. Y/N sighed and helped Powder stand up. “You could fill a whole damn library with all the things you didn’t do” Mylo remarked as he stood up and attempted to clean his new shirt.
“Guys, we just raided a Piltover penthouse right under the enforcer's noses. So if you're done beating yourselves up, let’s get this home” Vi smiled as she walked down from the trash pile. Vi’s words brought a smile to everyone’s face, even Mylo’s. For a bunch of poor, scrappy Zaun kids doing their first mission, this was actually amazing.
Claggor grunted as he picked up Powder and helped her get onto the surface where Vi pulled her up. The group walked through the outskirts of Zaun, where the people in between lived. It was still a shitty pace but it wasn’t nearly as bad as the heart of Zaun but at the same time it wasn’t anywhere close to being as good as upside. To Piltover, it was still Zaun.
“Nice hall” A tall lanky blonde boy called out to the group as they walked by. They all recognised that voice, deckard. He and his crew stayed in the shadows and often stole from passerbyers around here.
“You could say that” Mylo responds, earning him a glare from Vi. “Heard there was some action across the river” Deckard continues. This gets the group to stop walking and turn around to face him. If Deckard already knew about what had just happened it was safe to say that more than half of Zaun had been told.
“But now your-your dragging this mess through my streets” Deckard murmured as other members of his crew showed up, cornering us. Powder shuffled closer to the older girl besides her. “Your streets?” Vi scoffed as she prepared her fists. It was obvious that they were gonna have to fight them, the girl just hoped that no one would get seriously injured.
“We don’t want any trouble, okay?” Claggor interrupts Vi before she can go on a rant to Deckard and beat him to a pulp. The girl discreetly placed her hand on Powders back so she would be able to push her out of any trouble.
“Hear that Deckard, they don’t want any trouble” *A tall boy with a buzz cut and broken nose scoffed at them.
“In my experience, trouble finds you…So why don’t we share the haul pretty” Y/N would roll her eyes if the situation was different but she knew that would make it worse so she just clenched her jaw and kept quiet, pulling Powder behind her.
Vi almost immediately walked in front of the two girls, blocking them from Deckard's gaze as she glanced down at the bag full of their loot. “Just a taste?” She murmured. “Just a-“ Deckard began but was cut off by Vi swinging the bag directly at his face.
“Shit…” The other older girl groaned as she let go of Powder, preparing herself for the fight to come. She hated fighting, it’s not like she was bad at it, she was decent for a malnourished girl with almost no training. It just hurt like hell, no one likes taking punches to the face all because someone else couldn’t keep their mouth shut, especially when Vi was with her.
The girl quickly moves as another lanky boy tries to punch her. The boy scowls before practically jumping on top of her and punching her. The girl grunts as she punches and pushes him, he smirks as she begins choking her, her limbs feeling tingly and her vision starting to blur. Luckily her hand grabs a large rock and she begins banging it into the boy's head, sending him unconscious in the process.
The girl panted as she stood up on her two wobbly feet, still dizzy and trying to regain all of her oxygen. She looked around to see Mylo standing on top of a boy who’s unconscious while Claggor kicks one to the ground. “Well that wasn’t my best fight” she murmured as she held her head with her hand and glanced at Vi who was still fighting Deckard.
Vi grunted as she kicked Deckard into the group of wooden boxes, a small smile spreading onto the other girl's face as she watched her. Vi looked back at the group with a small but proud smile. “This day is turning out alright after all” Mylo smiled as he stretched his arms above his head. The other girls brow furrowed as she looked around for a moment before being brought back by a yell.
“Hey!”
The group turned around to see Deckard stumbling while holding a knife tightly in his hand. Vi rolled her eyes before stepping towards him and leaning down to his level. “wanna see how that ends?” She questions as she waits for him to give up.
Deckard glances back at the trio waiting for Vi and lowers his pocket knife slightly before slowly retreating. “Wait.” The other girl says as she looks around. “Where’s Powder?”
Their loot was gone, the only thing they had left to prove that this whole mission wasn’t a waste of time, and now it was gone. A guy had chased after Powder and she threw it in the ocean in order to escape. The older girl was just glad it was all over and she didn’t have to see Vi, and her friends getting hit by Deckard and his crew.
As the group took the elevator down to the undercity she felt a churn in her stomach, she knew there would be consequences for their actions, she just didn’t know when.
“Vander learns none of this” Vi muttered as she rested her head on her hand, staring intently at the floorboards as the rest of the group sat down on the old, worn couches. “No worries there, Powder des next to Powder says seriously “what! You know I’m right” Mylo replied, using exaggerated hand gestures.
“I tried okay!” Powder yells back at him. “You don’t get it! Your older, bigger, stronger it-it isn’t fair” She continues angrily, obviously not impressed with Mylo.
Before he can respond Vander opens the door and looks at the small group. He notices both Vi and Powder avoiding his gaze. “Everyone alright” He says as he takes slow but heavy footsteps down the stairs.
“Yeah..we're good..” Y/N murmurs as her line of sight is now too focused on the crooked flooring beneath them. “Good, that’s good. So I don’t suppose any of you can explain why I’m hearing bout’ an explosion and foot chase on topside” Vander responds in his interrogation voice, this is when everyone knew they were in trouble.
“What the hell were you kids thinking” He nurtured as he stood next to the couch that powder and Y/N were sitting on. “That we can handle a real job” Vi interjects, finally looking at him.
“A ‘real’ job” He responds, his tone getting more angry by the second.
“We got our own tip, planned a route, no one even saw us!”
“You blew up a building.” Vander said more sternly than before. “Did you even stop to think about what could’ve happened to you, to them.” Vander gestures to the other four kids sitting on the couches watching them fight.
Vi glances up for a moment, her eyes almost immediately locking onto the other girls while the boys and Powder look down at the floor. Vi sighed as she once again rested her head in her hand.
Vander sighed as well, rubbing his face with one of his hands. “Where did you even get this tip” He questions the group. “Little man..” Powder said quietly, referring to Ekko. This caused Vander to sigh again as he locked eyes with Ekko’s older sister sitting next to Powder. Vi slammed her fist into the side of the fluffed chair before she stood up to face him. “I took us there, if you're gonna be mad at someone, be mad at me. But you're the one who said that we have to earn our place in this world!” Vi argued back.
“I also said to stay out of Piltover's business.” Vander said more sternly as he stared at Vi.
“Why!?” Vi yells back. “We’re fighting for scraps down here while they have plenty! When did you get so comfortable living in someone else's shadow!” Both Powder and the other girl flinched at Vi’s words, knowing that she was in deep shit now.
“Everyone out.” Vander said roughly as he stared at Vi with his angry eyes. Once by one everyone filed out of the room, the other girl taking one final glance at Vi before closing the door.
While Vi was getting the longest lecture known to mankind the rest of the kids were outside, Powder looking through the trash for new parts for her bombs and the other three leaning against the wall talking.
“I should probably go, I gotta talk to Ekko..” The girl trails off as she stands up properly now. “Oh can you tell Vi I need to talk to her once Vander lets her go?”
“Sure” Claggor responds but Mylo, being the nosy guy he is pried further. “What about?”
“It’s a secret” the girl replied with a small laugh as Mylo scoffed. The girl rolled her eyes before running off towards Benzo’s shop. “Jealous?” Claggor remarks with a smirk.
“What! Me, jealous!? Never.” Mylo responds defensively before going back to his eavesdropping.
“Hey sis!” Ekko called out happily as he carefully placed down his wrench and stopped focusing on the grandfather clock he’s been trying to fix for ages now.
His older sister gladly hugged him back for a few moments before dropping him back into his feet. “Woah…what happened?” He asked, gesturing to the bruises around her neck and the cuts on her body. “Some idiot fought us at the elevator” His sister said, brushing off any concern.
“Oh ya! How did it go” He asked as he started putting his tools away. “Awful” she sighed, sitting onto the small table in the corner for displaying items.
“Ekko…” His sister started off slowly. Ekko sighed, knowing that this was going to happen eventually. “I know I know, I shouldn’t go off to Piltover by myself..” he murmured as he stared at the floor.
His older sister sighed as she rested a hand on his shoulder. “You know what will happen if you get caught doing something up there..” a shiver ran up her spine at the thought of her brother, the only family she has left, being thrown into a cell in Stillwater. “If you stay down here for a while then…I’ll take you up there with me, just the two of us for a day” The girl smiled as she saw her little brother's face light up.
“Wait really, really!” He said excitedly. “Yea!” She giggled. “But only if you stay down here.”
“Oh, speaking of topside, did you ask her?” He murmured as he ran up the stairs to their shared bedroom. His sister groaned behind him as she sluggishly and dramatically walked up the stairs. “I’ll take that as a no,” Ekko replied as he jumped onto his small bed.
“It shouldn’t be this hard” She murmured as she collapsed onto the mattress on the floor that she sleeps on so her brother can have the bed. “Well it’s kinda a big deal, you know since you're telling her you're in loovveeee with her” He laughed as he saw his sister glaring at him from the mattresses. “Not helping” She muttered
“Vi?” Powder asks as she draws a cartoon face into one of her many bombs. “Yeah?” Vi responds as she sits down next to her little sister. “When are you gonna ask her out?” Powder asks again as she continues working on her bomb.
Vi tries to hide the blush that spreads across her cheeks as she looks away from her sister. “What-what makes you say that”
“It’s kinda obvious” Powder responds nonchalantly “you do that gross googly eye thing at her whenever she talks to you”
“That obvious..huh..?” Vi murmurs as she looks at the ground. “Do you think she even feels the same…?” Vi’s leg started to bounce as her mind went through the many scenarios that could occur if she rejected her.
“Well if you don’t do it Mylo’s gonna” Powder remarks as she places her monkey bomb down after adding the finishing touches. “You really think he has a chance” Vi scoffed, the thought of her brother dating the one girl that she’s ever liked made her stomach churn.
“No, but you can save him the embarrassment by asking first” Powder giggled as she stood up, stretching her arms above her head.
Both Vi and Powder's heads snapped to the door as the girl they were just walking about gently opened it. “Hey guys” she waved sweetly as she walked over to the bunk bed that Vi was sitting on.
“Mind if I steal your sister for a minute” she asks and Powder happily agrees before running out of the room, giving Vi a smug look.
Vi ignores her sister and stands up next to the girl “so what did you want?” That question seems to make the other girl's fingers fidget with the hem of her shirt, rolling back onto the balls of her feet.
“Well..umm, Piltovers having this thing…they-they’ve got fireworks and shit..I was just wondering if you’d want to come..” She says, her voice getting quieter as she gets to the last part of her sentence. Vi’s heart raced, the girl already looked really cute when she was shy, and now she’s asking her out on a date! “Like…like a date?” Is the only thing that Vi can manage to say.
“It-it doesn’t have to be a date! But if you want it to…then that’s fine..” she murmured as she looked back at the floorboards.
Vi smiled before answering “y-yeah…a date sounds..nice..” she laughed as she tried to hide her growing blush. The shorter girl's head shot up at Vi’s confirmation and she smiled sweetly. “Yeah..then it's a date”

There’s some discussion here and there as to how Silco could use Shimmer on his own people when he once professed to fight for the freedom of Zaun, but I think there’s a logical progression to that point given his dependency on the drug as a disabled person whose eye infection was practically killing him.
There’s a lot we have to infer re: Silco’s background, but I think it’s safe to say that he was introduced to Shimmer (or the developing concept of it) at his lowest point. From there, it’s easier to imagine how he transitioned from an idealistic revolutionary who wrote in his notebook regularly about Zaun’s bright future to ruthless drug lord who believes his ends justify his means.
Silco’s power had been taken away from him in the brutal assault that left him with physical and emotional scars. He had no safe place to return to. Nowhere to rest and recover. No one who could treat him. Except. Singed. Stumbling upon him in a terrible state would’ve been the most logical introduction to Singed’s research. It would also give him what he needed (shelter and healing, mainly.)
Shimmer gave Silco some power back. Even when he offers Shimmer to Deckard, he presents it as a tool for power. Shimmer was also necessary for his treatment and while I don’t think he happily indulged in it before, I do think Silco grew accustomed to cruelty given what it took to develop the “miracle” drug.
We could say Silco is just an evil drug lord who unleashed an addictive substance onto his own people instead of fighting the systems that oppressed them, but he tried violent direct action and he was punished for it to the point it disabled him. Using non-violence was never a viable option when their oppressors have been shown to use force on even minor transgressions.
There’s a reason why Shimmer is integral to Silco’s treatments and not just a random drug he decides to wield because he’s “evil.” Silco latches onto Shimmer as a disempowered disabled person in much the same way Viktor latches onto Hextech, and at the center of it is Singed who has been outcast for trying to save his terminally ill daughter.
All of them have been broken and discarded by systems they’re trying to change, even if it requires immense sacrifices. Of course, their actions are still reprehensible. However, it’s really important to think about how much disability and disempowerment play into them. It’s where the humanity behind their actions comes through.
No one ever put any effort into fixing those systems. Silco still wants a free Zaun up until his death, but Shimmer has run rampant with Chem Barons who have become complacent with their wealth and status - something Silco calls them out for. Similarly, much of the Hextech developed increases the gap between rich and poor while Viktor is actively dying and trying to cure himself with it alone.
Furthermore, Singed was discarded by an institution that could have very well put in effort to cure his daughter but none of this is very profitable. This is the reality of chronic illness and disability. It is a constant fight for survival in a society actively trying to kill you. So, no I don’t think Silco’s involvement with Shimmer is illogical or even hypocritical. It is a logical progression.

Okayokayokay
Reader cussing Silco out for working Sevika too hard and letting her get seriously injured on a mission? And Sevika just sitting there like (///0-0///) and she doesn’t even try to intervene because hell hath no fury like an angry wife>:]
-🥨
this is EVERYTHING to me i'm such a sucker for the whole 'protector gets protected' trope ugh
men and minors dni
you know something's wrong the moment you hear the knock at your door.
nobody knocks on your door. sevika's always loudly clambering inside, her keys jangling loudly, the door slamming behind her-- but she never knocks. solicitors know not to come to your house-- sevika's scared them all off by now.
your fears are confirmed when you open the door and find ran on your front stoop, cringing at you. your heart drops.
"is she--"
"she's okay!" ran cuts you off, knowing how quick you'll fly off the handle when it comes to sevika. "she's fine, i just... she's sleeping it off in the bar, i wanted to come get you, tell you she won't be home for a while." ran says.
you're shoving your shoes and coat on before ran can finish their sentence. they trail beside you as you start storming toward the last drop. "what happened?" you demand.
ran shrugs. "i dunno. i wasn't there. i was just playin' a game of pool, then deckard and silco were stumbling in carrying her in their arms."
your stomach churns, and you stumble a bit. ran reaches out to steady you. "she couldn't walk?!" you ask, your voice shaky.
"singed fixed her up, got some shimmer in her system before any damage could become permanent." ran tries to placate you. "she'll be fi--"
"ran." you growl, glaring at your friend. they sigh, then wrap their arm around your shoulders, pulling you toward their chest.
they don't try to calm you down anymore. they just keep you from stumbling into people as tears make your vision blurry-- gently guiding you toward the bar.
sevika's back on her feet, nursing a whiskey and cringing away from singed as he stitches a wound on her flesh arm when you storm into the bar.
at the sight of you, her shimmer-pink eyes flash a bit and a goofy smile takes over her face.
fuck, her poor face. she's been beaten and battered, her nose swollen, her lip busted, one of her eyes bruised.
she tries to rise from her seat but she cringes in pain. you jump into action, sprinting across the bar to meet her, helping her ease back down into her stool and letting singed continue his work.
you gently cup her face, pushing her loose hair behind her ears, kissing her forehead. "hi, baby." you whisper.
"hi, baby." sevika repeats, smiling up at you. the shimmer's doing its job, keeping her happy and goofy and unaware of the needle stitching her back together. you're happy to see she's feeling alright, but you're enraged now that you're close enough to see her injuries up close.
"what happened to you, huh?" you ask. sevika giggles and shrugs like a child caught with their hand in the cookie jar.
"she got thrown through a window, fell twenty feet." singed says. sevika giggles again. you have to swallow back the bile that rises in your throat.
"who the fuck threw her through a window!?" you ask.
"a chembot at the shimmer plant malfunctioned, identified her as a threat." singed says, shrugging.
behind you, there's a muffled curse and some shuffling, and you turn around just in time to see silco trying to hide behind lock. it's too late for him, and he seems to know it, cringing the moments your eyes meet.
"silco!" you shout.
sevika huffs in her stool. "babe--" she cuts herself off when you flash her a glare, her mouth quickly shutting as her boss shuffles over to you; looking like a kicked dog.
"you care to explain to me why my wife's getting her only good arm stitched back on right now?!" you start. silco scoffs a bit.
"it's barely a flesh wound."
"oh, i'll show you a fucking flesh wound!" you growl, launching forward and narrowly avoiding grabbing silco in your clutches when ran reaches out and hooks their arm around your waist.
"i'm sorry! she's alright, she--"
"she could've fucking died!" your voice echoes through the bar. silco's shoulders slump, and you stop fighting against ran's grip. you don't stop screaming, though. "i know you've got your head so far up your own ass it's coming back out of your mouth, but there are other people in the fucking world! other people, like the love of my fucking--" you choke on your own tears.
silco at least has the decency to look ashamed. "i'm sorry." he whispers, sincerely.
you take a deep breath and collect yourself, before gulping and speaking clearly. "i need you to hear me clearly when i say this. the next time you decide to treat my wife like she's disposable, i will burn down this bar, i will burn down your shimmer plant, and i. will fucking. kill you." your hand is shaking at your side.
somewhere behind you, thieram lets out a whistle and a quiet "damn."
"understand?" you ask, rasing an eyebrow at the man in front of you. silco looks shocked. there's a bit of begrudging respect in his gaze, but it's mostly just surprised intimidation.
"i understand." he confirms, his voice squeaking as he nods.
you nod, then turn to look at singed. "is she good to go?"
"keep her hydrated, give her half a vial at every meal." he says, nodding and handing you a handful of shimmer vials.
"good. we're going home. i'll send her back to work when she's healed." you say over your shoulder as you start to storm out of the bar.
you catch your reflection in the mirror behind the bar-- you're barely recognizable; the rage coursing through you making you look almost... scary. you look over your shoulder back at your wife.
she's sitting in her stool, stars in her eyes as she grins at you. you snort, just a bit.
"c'mon, baby." you say, reaching a hand out and motioning her toward you.
she's out of her stool so fast it topples over and hits the floor with a clatter, sprinting over to get into your arms.
you giggle, catching her as she trips over her own feet, still a little goofy from the shimmer and whiskey, and press a quick kiss to her bruised cheek before wrapping an arm around her waist, pulling her arm over your shoulders so you can support her weight as you start your walk home.
when the pair of you brush past silco, sevika giggles and shrugs, mouthing a 'sorry' to her boss.
when you push out into the street, sevika doesn't let you get more than three feet away from the bar before she's pulling you in for a breath taking, slightly bloody tasting kiss.
it catches you completely off guard, and you're grinning and out of breath by the time sevika pulls away. "wh-what was that for?" you ask your wife.
she's grinning at you. "that was the hottest thing i've ever seen in my life." she says. you snort, and sevika shakes her head. "i don't think you get it babe: i've been workin' with silco for ten years, he's had knives and bullets and bombs thrown at him, and he doesn't bat an eye. but that in there? i think he mighta shit his pants a bit!" she's cackling.
you smile, your worry and anger fading a bit at the sight of your wife laughing.
she's okay. she's alive and happy and doubling over in front of you, holding her side as she cackles.
you sigh, and lean forward to kiss her cheek. "i meant it, you know. i dunno what the fuck i'd do if something happened to you."
"i know." she says. "'s what made your threats so scary, you actually mean it." she giggles. you huff and flick her shoulder, and her smile shrinks, just a bit. sevika leans forward and kisses your forehead. "nothin's gonna happen to me. i'm indestructible, you know that." she promises.
you pout up at her, still worried. sevika kisses your lower lip, and you can't help but smiling a little.
"besides. i'm pretty sure silco's gonna hire me a bodyguard just to make sure i get home safe to you every night, after that." she teases. you cackle, and tug your wife toward home.
taglist!

i figure that my inbox, particularly the physical mail, has gotten a bit... backlogged. i really don't feel like answering all of these separately, especially after yesterday.
really, i don't feel like doing much of anything, but i can't keep wasting my days doing nothing.
genuinely fascinated by the "au version of me". am i... what is that? that lost basculin evolution? am i sinnohian in this universe, or do i just happen to be a fish person? was i born that way? is it even still 'me', if not human anymore?
the sandygast is cute. weighted with beans. a very comfortable weight, really... i'm gonna see if deckard sticks his nose through the mouth.
... how long has this poor thing been here. go. get out. eat a flower or something. spirits abound.
wh?
... right. based off the timestamp i assume this was for skorna?
i don't think i have the energy to try and answer this for her. she cares about what i can be for her, i think that's about it.

what type of villain are you?
your honor, i do love a good uquiz diagnosing the diseases and problems of my fictional characters and also i might be slightly procrastinating a final paper. saw this one from @sasslett and simply could not resist :3 quiz link! for those who'd like.
swtor edition first!
tyr deckard - then let me be evil
You never wanted to hurt anyone, but the world never gave you a choice. You did the best you could with what you had, but every innocent mistake you made was held against you when it counted, every crossroads led you down the wrong path no matter which way you went. No matter what you did, the odds were stacked against you. It wasn't fair, and you are sick and tired of being told what a monster you are for things out of your control. Well, fine. They want a monster? YOU'LL GIVE THEM A MONSTER!
alucren ellery - the betrayer
You like to do things up close and personal. As personal as you can get. You are an excellent actor, and you do adore putting on a smile knowing your worst enemy, the one you hate the most, doesn't suspect a thing when they tell you their deepest secrets. Your only motivation is revenge, and revenge you shall get. Perhaps you loved them once, long ago, but any fondness for your target you once felt has long since warped and twisted into perverse obsession, laced with malice and venom and seething hatred. Good or evil does not matter to you. All that matters is they get what they deserve.
leo ashold - the coward
You didn't have another choice, honest! Have these people SEEN what the heroes are up against? It'd end you in an instant, whether that be a lovecraftian abomination with a hold on your soul, a rampaging monster that's destroying more than a hurricane and an earthquake could in one fell swoop, a shadow organization that has tabs on everyone you love and will end them in an instant, or just a particularly grumpy boss that might yell at you if you don't fall in with his excessively tyrannical methods, you can't go risking your neck for the poor saps that think they can stop it. No way, you're staying on the bad guy side, where it's SAFE.
rhyst delavast - for the greater good
Perhaps you do not believe what you are doing can truly be classified as evil. Perhaps some people will be hurt from the immediate consequences of your actions, but what the masses fail to see is the immense good that will come of your plans. Maybe you act in the name of science, or for your people who have fallen on great tragedy. Maybe you see cracks in a failing system and want to uproot it through chaotic, destructive means to avoid greater tragedy down the line. Maybe you're just in with a bad crowd, but you can't leave them, no matter how unsavory their intentions, because they're your only ticket to your ultimate goals. No matter what, your goals are noble, and you take no joy in wreaking havoc or hurting those in your way, but the evils you partake in are necessary. If you need to play the bad guy to ensure a better future, then you are willing to play that part.
savosta - no moral compass
You are cold, analytical, and you strive to be as objective as a person of flesh and blood can be. Either don't understand the concepts of good and evil, or you understand it perfectly and think it's a load of bull. Some may call you selfish, some may call you unfeeling, but you're just doing what you believe will yield the best results, plain and simple. Why bother with petty ideals of right or wrong when you can do what will actively help those you give a fuck about? Your goals may be selfish or noble or anything in between, but you will not let anyone make you feel like garbage for going after them. You couldn't care less about what people brand you as. You just care about getting shit done by any means necessary.
#this quiz has some interesting thoughts lol#retested the agents just to be sure and bc alucren's vibes are frankly all over the place depending on the day#a diverse portfolio of blorbos!#tyr i love you. mr so good at presenting calm cool and collected but yea. yea it has a fair point#he'd burn it all down with enough goading. he could be convinced. he hides his self-sacrifice a little too damn well sometimes but#baby you're my darling angel roman candle etc etc#dot talk#ch: tyr#ch: alucren#ch: leo ashold#ch: rhyst#ch: savosta#this uquiz coming right for leo's perceptions of himself i see#see initially alucren got savosta's results so i had to retest bc i was like no. no alucren's out for blood#knocking gently on him. sir remember. remember you chose overcome your limits so you could be a weapon against your enemies in ch2#anyway tyr could still kick his ass in close quarters that's the funny part alucren is Not a close range combatant#but he is an actor! so. imperial boys make do i mean what#dot exit stage left before the tomatoes show up#anyway this was also a really fun excuse to go back into my screenshots folders and find some goodies

DOCTOR'S ASSISTANT - ACT 2 ONWARD
Impaled and crushed by rubble he lay pinned, unconscious, and indescribably pained by the turn of events not one of them could have predicted. Too much time passes before he comes to, and in the first moments of opening his eyes are a blurred figure he can't really make sense of. A man, he finally makes out, but he's far too battered and bruised to move. A sudden jerk in his shock, anxiously trying to brace himself with his arms on either side but is slightly taken aback when he notices the tubes on the side of his chest, linking to an artificial heart. Singed comes into view and for the first time, Mylo feels the difference in his body. His veins glow and pulse with a foreign substance he quickly recognizes. Flashes of Deckard frighten him for what may be in store for his future but the doctor chuckles, assuring the teenager that this was only the beginning of many experiments. Still an early development of Shimmer, it isn't without its flaws, especially with it being constantly circulated through an artificial heart, but Mylo grows used to the very demanding effects over the months it takes for his body to finally accept it and even longer for Mylo to learn how to adjust, how to walk freely without the need for support. He never realized how much he took walking for granted. Eventually, through painful trial and error, his heart undergoes a few upgrades to eventually make it portable, housed behind a stitched wound.
Mylo lives in the doctor's care for years before he's even able to walk out into the undercity. For a while, that lab is all he knows and he isn't entirely sure what became of his siblings in that explosion but any questions he asks are given vague answers he can't really fight in his weak state. He becomes reliant on Singed until he's gone through enough of the doctor's experiments to be considered well. The overuse of Shimmer has made his eyes purple, making him a chemically altered human. The side effects have unintentionally made him more forgetful and irritable but enhanced his physical speed and given him immunity to toxins. Over time his memory of his past life becomes a little hazy with the mental toll shimmer has had on his body, with anything in the past becoming muddled with fictional information fed to him by the doctor. After spending years with Singed, Mylo has come to rely on him and is still very dependent. Mylo has come to believe he's the doctor's son and takes up responsibilities for him to earn his "father's" acknowledgment and help his "little sister", Orianna. Once Singed is pleased with Mylo's progression, he's finally released to prove himself as Singed's makeshift assistant, often running the doctor's errands.
His family's memories are still familiar to him but currently, his idea of them is fuzzy. The doctor's told him they were old friends, all of which are gone now. The information is there, but Mylo's ability to piece it together is pretty poor with the influx of shimmer. Therefore a lot of his memories and emotions are displaced Spark Notes: Mylo's memory is poor and he's been blindly trusting Singed and whatever the doctor tells him because that's all he really knows. So he believes he's the doctor's son, and that he has a younger sister named Orianna whom he used to fight with before she became sick. These are displaced feelings he had whenever he interacted with Powder in the past. Physical differences: He has a makeshift artificial heart that pumps shimmer through his veins. It's a prototype, nothing extreme but this has made his eyes purple and made him a lot faster. The only other notable difference is his immunity to toxins but that's also related to how many experiments he underwent for Singed's research. He's 22 and usually runs any errands Singed has.
#✰ — Mylo ✶ Verse; Doctor says don't fight that feeling but my head is stuck to the ceiling#I got silly ))#Probably gonna default to this verse unless specified otherwise tbh ))#The research I did for this to make even a crumb of sense ))#I don't know anything about LoL I am a bad Riot Fanboy ))#For real though the family interactions??? Sold ))#Also curious about whether the doctor connection does anything for giving him some contact with Viktor funnily enough ))#Oh yeah and one-sided crushes or just funny rejections are also welcome that could be hilarious ))#Excited about this one! ))
