The principle of magic, which I will be discussing as you read further, is a recurring motif throughout Arcane.

First of all, thanks to her brilliant mind, I would like to credit my sister for coming up with 90% of these ideas and theories.

Now before going to the main point, let’s touch first on the history of runes.

Ryze, once a mage apprentice and later an adept sorcerer with immense arcane power, first learned about the ‘runes’ from his mentor, Tryus. These runes are a collection of shards that hold incredible power. Soon after their existence became known, power-hungry individuals sought to possess the runes for themselves, leading to the devastating ‘Rune Wars.’ When the conflict ended, Ryze took it upon himself to gather all the runes to prevent further abuse.

Moving on to the events of Arcane S1, I propose that the hooded figure who approached Jayce was Ryze. In an effort to save his mother, Ryze used the most stable form of ‘arcane’ magic to its fullest extent until its power diminished (as it no longer glowed) and then entrusted it to Jayce without educating him about its history—likely for safekeeping purposes. This way, Jayce could not use or abuse the stone as others had before him. The question, though, which I think is essential given the latest episodes of S2, remains: why did Ryze choose to give it to Jayce?

Years later, Jayce’s curiosity and admiration pushed him to create his own ‘arcane’ technology in collaboration with Viktor, which became known as Hextech. I believe that the creation of Hextech caused a thinning of the line between the physical and spiritual worlds, which means that magic was now easy to practice or perform.

The main point is that, in many fantasy narratives, the principle governing magic is that whatever you desire comes at a cost. With Hextech or Hexcore, when Viktor wished for a healed body—an intense desire—Sky was inadvertently consumed in the process, representing that necessary “sacrifice.” That’s when the Hextech technology started to devise its own capabilities (not to mention the fusion of Viktor’s blood and Shimmer with it too). This also aligns with Jayce’s analogy when discussing wild runes with Ekko (most notably his audible ‘sigh’ when passing a tome) where a second reaction (sacrifice) is needed to perform an action (magic). I think that was how the wild runes were made, in a sense.

As for Viktor himself, he’s become the medium for the physical and the spiritual world given that his body was nearly completely consumed, save for his face. Essentially, he embodies a sort of living martyr. The way he heals others seems to erase their ‘impurities’ through spiritual means; this creates a void that should have resulted in their death due to its physiological impossibility. However, because both realms must fulfill their part of the ‘deal,’ this physical void is filled with materials from the physical world represented by metallic enhancements. Later on, he’s nicknamed the ‘Herald.’

In the scenes where Jayce, Ekko, and Heimerdinger enter the underground Hextech chamber, visible smoke comes out from their mouths as they speak. This suggests two possibilities: they are alive (which is obvious) and the chamber has a cold temperature. Salo, who was ‘healed’ by Viktor, also went into that chamber one episode later but did not produce any smoke when breathing. It could indicate that he may be lifeless to some extent—less alive than humans. This contrast is further emphasized by Jayce, who, having just returned from his journey, still exhales smoke.

Those ‘healed’ by Viktor appear to serve him as puppets. During the healing process, their souls seem to be extracted in exchange for a more functional body. This concept connects back to the principle of ‘magic,’ where a troubling trade-off occurs: the enhancement of their physical forms comes at the expense of their essence.

Lore-wise, this principle is also present among the Void creatures, known as the Watchers, with an intent to destroy the universe. Lissandra, the Ice Witch, struck a deal with them for immortality, dooming—or rather, sacrificing—her world in the process. As the Watchers prepared for destruction, Lissandra’s sisters opposed this threat which parallels the current situation of Hextech. In Arcane, the gradual corruption of Hextech under Viktor’s influence can be seen as a modern parallel to the Watchers’ creeping influence. Viktor, akin to the Watchers, represents a force of destruction masked by innovation, while Jayce, much like Lissandra’s sisters who resisted the Void, stands as a reluctant counterbalance to the looming threat.

I’m not very sure yet with the time-travel theories, particularly about Viktor and Jayce travelling and meeting in different timelines and portals, but they’re plausible all the same. I’m just incredibly fascinated with the recurring themes and parallels of betrayal and sacrifices made for power. Can’t wait what the last three episodes will give! :)

WHILE IN THE SECOND TIME VENTI TRIES TO COURT LUMINE EVERYDAY WITHOUT FAIL ( he wants her back desperately and misses her so bad bro) WHILE LUMINE IS LIKE KINDA TAKEN ABACK SINCE ITS KIND OF ABRUPT SO SHE GIVES OFF SIGNALS BUT DOESN'T REJECT ( She also wants him back but wants to be sure if he actually does want her, since he mostly makes moves when he's intoxicated from alcohol )

Venti: crashes into her front door with a whole bouquet of flowers

Venti: PLEASE LET ME MAKE IT UP TO YOU

Like i can’t even look at myself in the mirror im so disgusted by myself and ive tried not eating but i just can’t, sorry for everything outta of nowhere i js needed to vent and u are like the best person in this app lol

hi sweetheart. i saw your other anon and i felt like it would be better to respond to this one.

tw: eating disorder and body descriptions below the cut, proceed with caution

i've been there. like exactly where you are. i hate the way i look sometimes, and there are days where i feel so strongly that i need to apologize to everyone i see out in public because they also have to see me, and that has to ruin their day, because seeing myself has already ruined mine.

some days will be easier than others, that's simply the nature of being like us. i'm not going to promise you anything, or tell you that bullshit about how "every one is beautiful in their own way" - regardless of how you look, you have worth as a person, stunning or ugly or fat or skinny or athletic or lanky, it doesn't matter. if you're breathing, you deserve the same kindness, respect, and appreciation as everyone else.

don't try to quit eating. that will actually send your body into survival mode, meaning that when you break and end up binging because you're starving, your body will hold on to everything with a vice grip, because she doesn't know what a beauty standard is. she just wants to keep you alive.

she's doing her best, and i think it might be time for you to help her.

you can't hate your body into a shape that you love. it simply doesn't work that way. what you can do is eat when your tummy makes noises. drink more water. find a reason to go outside for five minutes every day and just sit - no phone, no book, just sit in the sun and breathe. i also suggest taking it one day at a time. your body will continue to change throughout your life - did you look like this at five years old? you most certainly did not, i'm confident you were much shorter :p

and you'll look much different at 47 as well. try to breathe, my sweet. the world is not so cruel as social media makes it out to be. please, go outside. the butterflies won't judge you, and neither will i.

DON'T GIVE ME IDEASSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and when hiraeth releases their final mini album before a year long hiatus or more so poppy can focus in her health + kaia can do her own things + yvan can do musicals and do whatever projects they want because in the dulceverse yvan will be glinda for wicked instead of ari bc i can do whatever i want this is my silly universe and i can do whatever but two months in and vivi's rent is due and the lights are flickering and the eviction notice is at the front door and none of the girls are answering her calls despite them being together at poppy's vacay home in lake como so she had ONE chance and ONE dream she had NO OTHER CHOICE so she got out a dusty and retired angel of the season project and got these three talented girls from diff companies that she's been eyeing to be hiraeths little sister unit and it's all fun and games until the new girlies don't do good because there will never be another hiraeth / another kaia poppy and yvan and they have a lot to carry on their shoulders even during predebut and there's a lot of self doubts and hesitance and insecurity and tension between vivi and even themselves and it becomes a really big problem where they don't stand each other or just refuse to understand each other and it will be a story of them slowly becoming and understanding that they are their own person, either alone or together as they try to carry on a legacy even when they are not hiraeth they are THEMSELVES!

LORE SPEAKING they were born / created by "mother" the exact day each seasonal angels broke their own loop by eating their forbidden fruit = giving into temptation and they are little angels who were born to parallel hiraeth as hiraeth weren't "pure" anymore but ffs the little sisters wanted to be like them wtf....... and then they were left behind in celestias castle or palace i don't remember what it was and they hold some kind of grudge because why did they leave and not us?! why did they not took us with them?! but eventually hiraeths doctrine cult like messages gets to them and they are not ready to break their loop but instead they start shaking things up in celestia's castle palace whatever and being a pain in the ass for "mother" because they are sharing to other angels that they could be and do more outside mothers doctrine and this even makes the little sisters realize that they are their own person/angel and they are not the seasonal aengels as much as mother wanted them to be and maybe they start their own "cult" and its not like "mother" can force them to leave celestia because they are perfect w no sins!

I AM TROUBLED: Who is your favorite OC?

𝐐𝘂𝐞𝘀𝘁𝐢𝐨𝐧𝘀 𝐟𝐨𝗿 𝘁𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝘂𝐧 .

Who is your favorite OC?

I had a feeling this evil question would come.

That's like asking a mother who is her favorite child! (Don't ask Babsi's mother that because it is not her, that's for certain lol) ANYWAY. I can't settle for one only. Babette is most likely my favorite right now. Not only because I like to draw  &  make her interact with other muses here (which is GREAT for character development!), but also because she wormed herself into my heart.

*clears throat* anyway let's start:

  My first League oc, Habi, is also a strong contender. A very clumsy, basically Bear Grylls come to Runeterra kinda girl. If you read my prior post about making ocs, you remember me speaking about having a ship in mind when coming up with them. Yeah, that was her starting point. Then she got hit with the trauma hammer :) Habi suffers greatly from survivor's guilt  &  can't come to terms with her past. (I am sorry we will talk more about League ocs I know you guys can't really work with that) B-But I love the universe  &  it offers so much in regard to ocs.

────────────────────────

Polly, oh my baby Polly oh... I am very protective of her. She is a rodent, a wild little maniac. A complete unhinged firestarter  &  really blooms when spotted with her partner in crime, who is an art-fanatic, all proper  &  professional. Which is everything she is not. Polly is a hired assassin who was growing up in a terrorist organization which prepared her  &  other children to one day go on a suicide mission for their beliefs. Babygirl broke free, is now on the run (kinda)  &  earns her bread with the only thing she got taught — making people's lives miserable ♥

────────────────────────

Then we have Esteri, which started as a League oc but kicked herself into BG3. We all know her, we all hate her (hopefully).

────────────────────────

And Lilou. Uhm.. also a... League o- *gunshots* She's a sunshine in a city full of hate  &  crime  &  nobody likes to be there except her. The only oc who has a nice past. No trauma. Just kidding, ofc she has trauma, guys :) But it wasn't in her childhood. Lilou is a butcher  &  so awfully talkative she will not stop yapping. The woman can lift scary amounts of weight  &  is very blunt in everything she does.
