any other library assistants/pages/clerks/librarians etc. have experiences with patrons pulling books from displays highlighting BIPOC voices and intentionally misshelving them in parts of the library where they have no business being and where no one looking for them would ever be able find them? because i found about a dozen of such books hidden, with their spines facing into the shelf so that you can't tell what book it is unless you pull it from the shelf, in very silly places. i'm not sure what i should do about this, but then again i am only a library assistant so it is not really my call. i am merely curious how other library employees handle such things. let me know!

Their gossip session is either about planning to kill you or just making fun of you falling to your death. (especially when you're fighting Margit and fell off a cliff. Just As Planned.) There is no in between.

(CALL ME A TRUE BELIEVER IN OMEN TWINS GOSSIP SESSION. THEY SAID THEY DON'T LIKE EACH OTHER BUT IK THEY CANNOT STOP YAPPING WHEN THEY MEET. THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT EVERYTHING. I NEED TO LISTEN TO THEM YAPPING PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.) hello back to normal bark bark.

Viktor's Sources of "Inspiration"

The hexcore is incomplete. Currently Viktor only has the runes of Precision, Domination, Sorcery, and Resolve. To complete the hexcore and unlock it's true potential he'll need Inspiration, but where will he find it?

Viktor could find Inspiration through Sky. The most noteworthy possible hint was in Sky's last scene. Sky's last words to herself were how Viktor inspired her, and in that moment we get a glimpse of her notebook. Some have speculated that the emblem on the cover of her notebook resembles the Inspiration rune itself.

Sky also left a series of notes from her undisclosed research project. From the quick shots we get of her notes we can assume Sky was researching methods to stimulate plant growth. Her research may be in a similar vein to Viktor's research where he experimented with how the hexcore reacted to organic plant matter and stimulated its growth in turn. Could Sky's research be the key that will help Viktor stabilize the effects of the hexcore on organic matter like plants (and people)?

Even in death Sky's character could serve to reflect the theme of inspiration that Viktor desperately needs...

Except the Inspiration rune does represent the literal definition of the word "inspiration". In Runeterra, the Inspiration rune is meant to symbolize the ability to "Outwit mere mortals". In-game the Inspiration path gives players a set of tools they can use to apply unconventional strategies to outwit their enemies. And the one character that demonstrates those traits the best in Arcane is Jinx.

The first time the Inspiration rune's meaning was applied correctly in a sentence was when Viktor was describing the design of Jinx's chomper grenade. And it's true, thematically Jinx's chomper grenades and they way she uses them align with how "inspired" tools work.

Jinx was able to pull off a 3-in-1 trick with her chomper. The grenade was the bait and the snare against the enforcers, the distraction Jinx used to steal classified technology and info from Piltover, and the means that Jinx would use to frame the Firelights in her crimes. Technically she's gotten away with it all so far. What Jinx with her tools does isn't just outwitting her enemies, she's running laps around them.

Another possible clue that could mean Jinx will help Viktor discover the Inspiration rune is that her champion tag was disguised as a rune within the hexcore in Viktor's Magician tarot card. The same tarot card that gives us a brief shot of the Machine Herald's silhouette.

Maybe this all leads to Viktor working with Jinx next season, even learning from her to the point where he'll even end up taking a page out of Jinx's playbook. Viktor's set to be banished from his research bubble in Zaun, in a time where allies will be hard to come by and enemies will be easy to make.

Sky and Jinx are two very different characters that manage to apply the term inspiration in two very different ways. I want to think that was on purpose by the writers. But who knows for sure though, we can only see how things turn out next season.

tldr: Sky represents the traditional definition of inspiration, while Jinx better embodies the Runeterra's definition of the actual Inspiration rune. Sky's death may also be a weird rune pun.

Wait wait, what the Loz sibling manga?

oh god i want to say it was one of the early NES promo mangas. iirc it was by mishouzaki?? it was legitimately batshit insane. they obviously hadnt figured out like. ANY lore whatsoever at that point and im not entirely sure that mishouzaki ever actually. played the game. or even read the manual. so the triforce functioned as like. a typical 80s manga space-weapon almost and zelda wore like a mech suit at one point and link experienced actual in-universe racism multiple times and at the end of the manga it's revealed that link and zelda are half-siblings because zelda's mother CHEATED ON HER HUSBAND

a patron asked me if i was goth today

usually i don't enjoy unsolicited opinions from people (especially men) regarding my appearance but this guy was obviously being genuine and he was just like "are you goth? can you explain goth to me? you rock the look." and i was like heck yeah thanks for noticing, now buckle up and let me tell you what goth means to me on company (well, the city's) time (since i work for my city's public library).

Hi, yeah I feel like Icarus has a bad habit of biting at their nails whenever a situation is like. Rlly bad. And to try and help them not do it so badly in early s1/s2 Centross would (poorly. Very poorly) paint their nails so they bit at the nail polish and not their nails themself. In s3 after Centross’ ascension, they would try to paint their nails but couldn’t bc of how shaky their hands were until Ven saw them trying to paint their nails and failing, so Ven painted their nails for him. And then Icarus would spend hours looking at how cleanly Ven painted their nails and get slightly upset due to how vastly different they were to how Centross would paint them

I love your Ryker drawings :’) so so cute. He’s my fav RF character.

*Ares voice* You made my day!

Really though, thanks! This really means a lot - Ryker is my personal RF fave as well (and then some) so I'm glad if I can do him justice when I draw him.

That said, perhaps I ought to share more Ryker here, so here's a little something from today!
