we know from quilletta and darius that noxians broadly regard marriage as impractical/unimportant but presumably because classism/class stratification obviously exists in runeterra the noxian aristocracy at least were involved in the practice of arranged marriages for political gain and presumably to conserve/consolidate wealth which, to me, makes the question of swain's youth so incredibly funny in a really specific light. like i live in the world where he has an overwhelmingly strong sexual preference for men and his parents probably noticed this but since homophobia isn't a thing according to the NDs/writers, they would ostensibly not have been super upset by this or even tried to discourage it? like the logical end point of this is his father specifically in the long-suffering hours of the night trying to draw up an exhaustive list of eligible young women who might be able to tolerate his weirdo kid who, by the time of his adolescence, has a reputation for being profoundly unfun, overly serious, and more or less unmoved by the concept of women in general juuuuust enough for the two of them to produce like one single heir to carry on the family name

[axe-me-darius]

[quilletta-of-basilich-blog]

Do it for her darius.

[in-carnage-i-bloom]

I drew a thing for my other blog I’m working on @quilletta-of-basilich. I spent far too much time on this just for a fun drawing. Got to draw Darius more because I just don’t get him at all when it comes to drawing. 

@axe-me-darius and I absolutely love this ship. We know it may not be others cup of tea, But that’s okay. We enjoy it doesn’t mean you have to. Any way. Enjoy since I rarely post art in the first place.

Headcanons > Blood of Noxus

Okay, so I finally read the comic fully, and honestly, I’m keeping most of it because my goal is to accept new lore as much as I can here instead of refuting it outright. But I’ll summarize exactly what this means for Darius.  ***Please note that these are my personal headcanons based on the comic, and are in no way canon to what occurred, it is simply my interpretation and how I will be incorporating it into my portrayal of Darius. I would appreciate if no one reblogged this from me except for @theblogofdraven​ ***

When they were younger, Darius was in love with Quilletta, a sort of childhood friends turned lovers scenario. They had some pretty lofty romantic goals about conquering the world together, as young people often do. 

Despite their relationship, Draven was never a third wheel really, as Darius would pick him over Quill in most scenarios (as displayed in the comic). They were all 3 a pretty tight knit group. 

Captain Cyrus convinced Darius to join the Noxian Army, and Darius did so as he, at the time, saw this as a way to further his goals of Conquering the World. Quilletta joined as well for similar reasons. Draven followed suit, but not for the same reasons. 

Darius trusts Draven more than anyone else, but not blindly so. Draven has proven a capable warrior on field assignments despite his job as the Glorious Executioner and Darius has faith in his ability.

Darius and Quill dated through their early twenties until they were split up on assignment, approximately 26 years ago. 

Upon their return from their assignments, they were still together, but due to the Noxian military strategies of the time, Quill was beginning to have doubts. She and Darius would fight, and eventually split up romantically shortly after, though they remained on civil terms. 

Decius was adopted as a child shortly after she and Darius split up as a way to move and on and sort of fill the void that cropped up for her now that there is a rift between her and her two childhood friends, who were basically her family. Since she no longer has a family, she wanted to start a new one, but was not ready to take on another romantic partner.

Nine years ago after the chemical bombings in Coeur, was when their relationship was really severed and he chose that she lose her arm rather than die, not only because she could still serve Noxus, but to give up on life because of pain was weakness in his eyes.

Darius goals for conquering the world remained in tact, he simply no longer sought to do so with Quill at his side anymore, as she was not willing to take the ‘necessary sacrifices’ to do so. 

Shortly after the loss of her arm,  Quilletta begins to lose faith in Noxus due to their methods of fighting the campaign in Ionia, as well as Darius’ order to take her arm. She felt betrayed by her country as well as her childhood friend and former lover. A number of years after, her son Decius dies at war, so she defects, that having been the last straw.  

They have been enemies since, but deep down they do still care for each other to a point because of their past, they simply can’t coexist peacefully because their ideals are now so at odds. 

She uses her political power to try and take back Basilich, invoking the loyalties of some higher authorities there whom she’s known for decades that were from the city. They take their independence approximately 2 years before she is killed. 

Invetia was adopted as a pre-teen by Quill from a Noxian orphanage a little over a decade ago. Invetia knew of Darius from Quill’s stories, not in person really. Quill intended for Invetia to see things her way about how Noxus was wrong, but where Decius took after his mother, Invetia was a bit too old to be impressionable. She followed her mother because it was expected of her, not because she wanted to, but over the years resented her as she viewed her mother as weak, and she continued to feel strong loyalties and ties to Noxus. The scene where she slices Quill’s neck is essentially the last straw, where becomes fed up with her mother’s ‘ignorance’ and ‘weakness’ and chooses to eliminate her in favor of allowing Noxus to take back Basilich, which is sort of what she wanted anyway. 

The shock of it does get to Darius, as he had always expected to be the one to kill her, and that he’d have time to mentally prepare. He was caught off guard, and as a result did not get that chance, and so he is upset, because he does care for her deep down in the sense that he values what they once had. He mourns the woman he used to know, not necessarily the one in his arms. 

At the end, the rest of Quill’s sentence was going to be, “He was more than just my son, Darius. He was everything I had.” This also, is part of what provokes Invetia, as she had always known Decius was the favored sibling, due to his malleability to conform to Quill’s ideals as opposed to Invetia’s stubbornness. Though she doesn’t get to say it, Invetia knows what she’s going to say, and doesn’t want to hear it again. 

When Invetia says “I learned them from you.” She is referring to Darius as a war-hero, not a father figure, as she’s never really met him or learned from him. He is a symbol of Noxus known across the empire, and one she has looked up to more than her mother. 

To this day, Darius does not know what Quill was going to say. Sometimes, he fears she was going to say that Decius was also his son, but he usually refutes such thoughts, as when he looks back on the timeline, he cannot find a way for that to have been possible. 

Quill died when Darius was 37 (if we are going with the idea that in the first flashback of “22 years ago”, Darius was around 15). Six years have passed since then. 

Some of you may remember my [TIMELINE] of Darius’ lovers before this came out. As a whole, I’m ditching it and marking it obsolete. However, I will pull a few of the women and their scenarios from there and mesh them into this timeline, but I’ll save that for another post for another day.

anyone else ever think about how one of swain's in-game lines to darius is 'no daughters, only soldiers' and how in the blood of noxus the daughter darius didn't know was his daughter but did know as his soldier and who was perfected as a soldier killed the woman he loved ie her mother right in front of him for daring to question noxus's obsession with soldiers and loyalty and how swain was not there and how there's 0% chance darius ever talked about this except to say that quilletta was killed in the rebellion but basilich was brought to heel but obviously swain knew because of raum like he knew darius was in love he knew invetia was his kid even though darius didn't and he knew what darius elided and just never says anything about it other than a thing that if you aren't in the know could be taken to mean that darius literally has no children except the soldiers he leads to all be do-or-die like invetia but swain knows and darius probably suspects that he knows at least about quilletta and they just go on ruling the empire like that like greek god levels of demented morality because that's the noxus they built and there's no other way for it to be because i think that's one of the closest moments the lore gets to acknowledging that all empires are evil empires

* hollow bones .

DARIUS. * — they’re here again, at BLACKROCK KEEP. Does Draven remember this? If anyone asked, he’d say it was a blur, something he drank, or maybe he’d say the mix of explosions he suffered & honeyed wine amidst recovery during the siege on the city made him a bit. He’ll always say that, because he saw his war-brother break down in his final moment of weakness. It was here that QUILLETTA forgot the Principles of Noxus, it was here that she died. 

On the way back from the siege in the North, they had underestimated the barbarian hoards. SEJUANI was a foe that he would see beheaded in due time, but for now, he’ll let the infighting with her kin chip at her army just a bit. This wasn’t retreat, far from it. They have lit the fire, now they simply wait to see it spread. The plan was always to gain more information on the lands beyond the southern realm.

" We have spies at the lower level; no doubt, the fresh meat will be thoroughly trimmed of fat under Sejuani’s command, but they won’t break. If they do, it only sows more discord. They will fracture, & when her grip among her tribe tightens, more will flee to Tryndamere & Ashe’s forces. “ He spoke clearly, icy     but there was this.. absence. He lacked the drive he usually has when discussing his method & calculations. “ Leave us. “ Darius commanded his generals, each standing & leaving without a word, though each knew how odd it was for him to stop..

“ What? “ He can feel you looking at him, Draven. He’s felt those eyes all morning. Speak, @executionaryglory​.

Fan fiction

Darius/Quilletta

AU in NY. Their nomal daily life

I'm not good at English translation, but if you like it, I'm happy.

For the first time

Quill opens the gift . There was a pair of earrings in it. They glowed red in her palm.

It was a simple, unisex design with a ruby stone in it. Quill was pleased, but puzzled.

"Earrings?"

"Yeah. What do you think?"

Darius leaned back against the sofa. Quill wondered why he had to say that.

"I'm glad, but... I don't have any holes in my ears."

She was afraid to pierce her ears by herself, because it would be too painful, so she chose to wear earrings instead. When Darius had a piercing in his ear, she had thought it was amazing and uninteresting.

Darius traced Quill's earlobe with his index finger.

"I'll get it done. No problem."

"... It's going to hurt..."

Darius already had a piercer in his hand. It seems that he is serious.

"I'm used to giving them to people. My brother used to beg me to do it."

Quill wonder if my brother's ears are full of holes.

As she was thinking about this, Darius approached Quill. He gently kissed him on the lips and asked,

"No?"

It's not often that I see Darius like this. It was rare to see Darius like this. He is a very stubborn man, and there have been times when she have had to force him to agree with her. But this time, he was special. He stubbornly waited for Quill's reply. Darius hugged Quill and looked into his face.

"Don't worry, it won't hurt. It'll be over soon."

The look on his face was as if he was about to be rejected. It's only a piercing, Quill thought. But it was important to him.

She sighs and smiles.

"I... I understand. Really, don't hurt me, okay?"

"...! Yes!"

Darius was happy to let Quill sit between his legs. In order to prevent Quill from running away, Darius unconsciously bent one leg and placed it on the other knee.

Quill suppressed her pounding heartbeat and glanced behind him. He had removed the safety cover of the piercer and was sterilizing it with alcohol. The thought of really getting a piercing from now on made Quill uneasy.

Darius' index finger and thumb touched Quill's right ear. Darius's forefinger and thumb touched his right ear, and a strong pressure caught the foreign object in her earlobe. The thought of a needle so close to the ear scared her.

However, her body is held in place by Darius and she can't even twist around.

Bang!

Quill was more surprised by the loudness of the sound than by the pain.

Darius hugged Quill who naturally tried to run away, and quickly protected the piercing with gauze.

But the pain was not that bad. She slowly opened her eyelids and looked back at Darius.

"Does it hurt? Are you okay?

"I was just startled by the sound. It doesn't hurt that much.“

"I see."

Darius seemed relieved. This was the second time, so Quill wasn't too scared, but she didn't like the sound.

Bang!

Quill's body jolted again. The pain in his left ear was stronger than the pain in his right ear. Quill's face contorted, and physiological tears ran down her cheeks.

"Did that hurt...? I'm sorry."

Darius applied the painkiller cartilage he had prepared and chilled Quill's left ear with an ice bag. Quill frowned at the accusatory throbbing pain.

"... it's a little better now that it's cooled."

"Well, if it really hurts, I can use some painkillers... I'll be right back.

Darius then took out the medicine box from the table in front of the sofa. Quill watched in a daze as he rummaged through some pills. Gently, she removes the gauze, which is damp from the ice and water.

The fresh blood smeared on the gauze made her feel guilty.

The red jewels that Darius had given him shone in both ears as if they were laughing.
