#sooo this should've been just a silly project but no

[borreall]

I finally did it! I did it and made an illustration based on all of Taylor's Swift Eras Tour as Knights!!

Little backstory: Back in June,while I was still working on my Barchelor's Degree and in a frustration episode, I decided to make a fanart of Taylor Swift's eras yet again!(last year I have done that aswell,but it was done in the eras poster rather fashion ).

But I wanted to elevate the fanart and do something different this year,so I decided to make Alef Vernom's Eras Knights! (for those that don't know him,he is an artist that draws Taylor Swift fanarts and sometimes with other celebrities too,more popular and active on instagram and twitter,or used to until it got banned in Brazil,the country he is native from) Plus I wanted to do a fanart of his knights for a while now because I just loved his designs for knights and I discovered him exactly in the period he was creating them so I assisted like in real time as he was creating the design and putting stories on instagram along the way.

And so,I decided and dared myself to make a full illustration of the 11 knights of the Eras. At first I tought it'll take me max of 1 week maybe- and then I'll finish it. Of course,that did not happen because your calculations do not fit with those from the market( a little Romanian proverb that basically means that what you planned at first is not going to actually work up until the end xd) and as I was creating them... I finished college,sustained and passed my Barchelor's degree, entered at masters and a whole summer passed.

Not going to lie it was a hard ride,but it was a fun one. What started as a project that was a little idea of a fanart became a summer of frustration, blood,sweat and tears; alongside a rollercoaster of emotions. But here it is and I hope you like it as much as I also loved making it :) <3

CLOSE UPS:

[hexxbug]

ACT 3!!

I can't believe it's over :((

This is probably more analysis than the other ones I've done lol, spoilers below :o

AHHHHH so sad, I loved it sm

Timebomb!!! I don't ship it a lot, I prefer them platonically icl but it was sooo cute! (the au has won me over though lol but I personally still think in the main timeline they wouldn't be together, maybe Ekko has a crush on her but I hc Jinx as either aroace or just not in a place to be interested in romance)

AND WE GOT MORE EKKO!!! FINALLY!!!!

I think they should've given us a couple extra episodes because him and Heimerdinger, Mel and the whole Jayce Viktor story did not get enough screen time imo, could've done with a bit more interaction idk

Claggor glancing at Mylo, now I may be projecting but that was NOT subtle🤨🤨😏🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

HEIMERDINGER STAYED BEHIND!! NOOOOOO. he was such a silly guy I was very sad

Cait being like "who decides who gets a second chance" like it wasn't her busting Vi out of jail like 6 months prior

JINX SHE WAS SO BROKEN😭😭😭😭MY POOR LASS

lowkey wish we'd got to see her go absolutely batshit over Isha's death but I get the direction they went in (or just been able to see more of their reaction and recovery from her death in general)(because that shit was glossed over)

Vi being so upset and destroyed about Jinx, saying she shouldn't have done this and then Cait going mf I practically engineered this whole encounter😭😭😭

CAITVI IS A GO!!! I REPEAT CAITVI IS A GO!!!! HHHHHHGHHHHHGGG THEY'RE SO FUCKING CUTE!! I really love how the scene played out

VI'S "Cait I don't FUCKING CARE" just marry her already (ngl not the way I thought that confession would go but I'm glad it was pretty happy)

MEL!!!! I love her character design smmmm it keeps getting better and better🤩🤩🤩she needed more time and practice with her powers though I think they rushed that a bit.

HE REALLY WAS THE BOY SAVIOUR!!!!! COMING IN CLUTCH THERE AT THE END

JAYCE. VIKTOR. YOU GAY MFSS LMAO (platonic or romantic they are so in love) I also think they rushed their whole story because both of them were suddenly like "oh yeah besties again✨✨" and I wanted a bit more story there but THEY STARTED IT TOGETHER AND THEY ENDED IT TOGETHER🥲🥲(they basically saved Piltover with the power of friendship)

JINX NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I'm not okay💔 I know it's what she wanted, really, but it felt so flat idk I wish she'd lived and come to terms with every (also I love her and she needs to come back so that's probably why I didn't like it too lmaoo)(ik she fell like a hundred stories or whatever and canon divergence is a thing but my girl is a big part in LoL so maybeeeeee????)(I'm once again in denial....)

ALSOOO CAIT WAS LOOKING AT THE BLUEPRINTS FOR THE HEXGATE AND HAD JINX'S BOMB SO I WILL STAY UNDER MY LITTLE DENIAL ROCK THANKYOU VERY MUCH

Honourable mentions:

Heimerdinger being like "you sure it's 4 seconds???" and Ekko just like •_• "mmmhm yep definitely" poor guy was TRAUMATISED😭😭😭it was so funny to me

All the outfits in ep 7, I loved them! ALSO THE DANCE SCENE!! SO SWEET

LEST!! I wanted to see more of her she was so cool!

The blue haired woman who died:(( rip to a queen

And the guy who took over manning the hex gun🫡

Maddie, ngl I wasn't expecting her to betray Cait but it was unsurprising really, I would've loved to see what she'd make of the aftermath and better terms the city's are on but it was also a very dramatic moment for Mel and I liked the twist lol.

FIRELIGHTS(EKKO) FIGHTING TOGETHER WITH JINX!!!! AYYY

Just the whole union of Piltover and Zuan in the fight against Ambessa and the Herald(I wanted more build up for that too tbh but anyway)

VIKTOR GOING THROUGH ALL THE TIMELINES TO FIX IT AND IT BEING JAYCE!!!

The sweet little Cait and Vi scene at the end🥹

My mum who's been subjected to all of S2 and her main comment at the end was "I'm still a bit confused" 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Ugh it took ages to find a spare moment to read but I'm here to yammer as per usual!! I spent like 30 mins debating whether this should be a comment or an ask I've thought way too hard about it for way too long.

I'm shaking you by the shoulders the entire chap is sooo good man. I love how Technos powers keep tuning into the deaths happening around him.

I will say that Techno is a fuckin compartmentalizing champion, this boy is packing away so much trauma that Phil will Totally not weaponize against heroes.

By absolute fav section is, of course, the emduo crumbs. I absolutely love the bit where Phil realises that Techno doesn't have to just be a little sidekick… he can be a sonboy too.

Even if you look at it from the more callous point of view where he's using Techs abandonment issues as a way to get closer to him Phil's literally just signing himself up to get way too attached and adopt him either way.

Also I know we don't see really anything except glimpses of Wilbur but I like to think that Phils like literally never mentioned Tech to him before. That way when he inevitably drags Tech to meet him like "meet your new brother! :D" Wil is just completely blindsided. Its unlikely but its silly so I'm choosing to believe it.

Oh and that meeting is gonna end so badly. Just horribly. Currently putting my bets on Techno maybe getting really overwhelmed and lashing out with his powers so Phil can weaponize that further against him.

How I think it'd go down is way more messy and convoluted than what would really fit in this or whatever since its already long enough but that's how I think the adoption is gonna play out.

Anyway I've rambled long enough!! Absolutely banger chapter as usual, well worth the wait!!

Comment or ask, I am ALWAYS happy to hear your thoughts asdfghjlk and I have been munching on this ask for weeks. Just chewing on it like a cow to get every ounce of flavor out of it.

The boy has blood on his hands and that just makes him more sonboi shaped for a very greedy crow.

Techno is fiiiiiinee. Completely fiiinnnneee. There is no trauma on ba sing se. He can just think around it. He is a-okay for surre. There is nothing to manipulate. Nope. Philza is juuuuuust going to be a comfort. Nothing more lololololololol.

Phil has mentioned Technoblade to Wilbur in this. But he has described it the same way as he would describe any of his projects. This is just a fleeting whim of The Crow and Wilbur has heard his dad monologue about enough projects to just tune him out when he is talking. He's going to be very surprised when Phil rolls up with a child. Phil is going to be like "I told you about this" while Will is like "You should've known I wasn't listening!!!!"

And whaaaat nooooo the parent teacher conference is going to go so well! Why would you think there would be anything tragic there??? Its going to be fiiiiiineeee.

Thank you for all of your rambling. It made me smile so much! 🥺🥹 I'm really happy you enjoyed it!
