I lost it for some time but I'm finding back all the reasons I loved RWBY so much in the first place, and I think I can feel it as I redraw Penny, Ruby and many other things ♥ I have this Vacuo comic idea in mind for like a year now, and I think I can finally draw it

[Image Description: A warm-toned comic featuring Trigun98 characters. It opens with Vash shouting "YOWCH!!" as a half-eaten donut flies through the air, a bruise on Vash's tongue. Meryl, editing papers, is annoyed as he complains: "Ow! Ow! I bi'e my 'ongue..." "What's the rush?" Meryl asks, "They're all yours." Vash, still hurt, tries to explain: "They're jus' sooo good!" Meryl argues back, "Well, savour it then!" Wolfwood has been watching the scene unfold as Meryl continues, "Satisfying your sweet tooth doesn't come cheap, unfortunately." Wolfwood clicks his lighter open and closed, again and again. Without a word, he leans closer, his thumb on Vash's lips. "Wolfwood...?" Vash trails off. Then, Wolfwood opens Vash's mouth and knicks his thumb on one of Vash's canines in one fell swoop. "Wah? Huh??" Vash says as Wolfwood pulls his bleeding thumb away. He licks the blood off the wound then snickers at Vash. Meryl looks disgusted, Vash has lit up in an embarrassed explosion, and Milly remarks, curious: "Those are surprisingly sharp, Mr. Vash!" Question marks float around Vash, and his donuts lay discarded on the table. Each panel is signed by raepliica. End ID]

Requestober 2024 Sketches

The playlist is...well, it will be posting very soon! Keep an eye out for your req(s) every Wednesday and/or Friday after the 6th (I think?), pretty sure I got ‘em all >:3c

Doing the full season this time around! The entire mixed bag o’ candy haha

Day 1 had my beautiful boys!! ♥ I’m so happy that Yanderapy took the lead this year ah! It’s too bad I’m so out of practice with them haha, unconfident lines, but the idea was solidly in place from the word go - this was really the only image that came to mind for them, their weird dynamic hehe <3 Made for each other! I am glad their expressions came together so well in the final version, though I didn’t get to show Micchan kneeling! That’s alright tho ♪ Cute enough here hehe

Day 2 got a lot of notes! Kabu’s clothing design is So complex lol, just toss him behind Larry who’s like second nature to draw, suits are so so simple in comparison haha ♪ Still only ended up hiding bits of him! He did end up with his shoe on the outside of Larry’s, boxing him in that little bit <3 And look! His smirk!! As well as the “hiragana” on his sleeves while I was still under the impression that it was text and not Flame Texture lol

And yes, as you can see, I ended up going with the alt doodle, they got more! I was quite tempted by Larry holding Kabu since he’s so tiny lol, but that would’ve required drawing his details! No! Hide him!! The pose is fun and silly and cute tho haha, very plush-coded ♪ And then also a little smech for funsies <3 Just to follow up their staring-at-each-other-in-a-gay-way they ended up with ♥ Rather a fan of Kabu’s hands pulling Larry in :)

Day 3′s was such a pose change!!! Mostly for Edgar, though he’s still kneeling here, inexplicably haha - the angle changed for the final version, and both of their head angles and just, ah, nothing more than a general outline of what I was going for. I’m pleased with both tho! I think the final is much more clear and readable, but there’s always a bit of fun with Edgar looking down/Scriabin looking up haha. I suppose it’s more appropriate than an angel would be looking down on a devil, isn’t it? Haha

Day 4 was another easy one at least, the pose immediately came to mind to show off Nny’s clothes on an even ganglier, thinner frame haha. Like I said, I really tried for more fullbodies this year, so I had to give the tiny version a proper swing on-page! Ran out of room for the larger one, but I really wanted to draw him holding his shoe with his hand haha. You can see the goopmonster on his shirt here too! :D I think his annoyed face is quite cute hehe <3

Day 5 was practically a freebie, and I took absolute full advantage hehehe ♪ If I get the prompt of “soft” of course I’m going to opt for plushies! I’m back in my Webkinz era, and Tala is big big big on Webkinz as well :) And her being a plushie has something of an impact there too lol, but it was really fun to look over all my little guys! I ended up having an extra handful of thoughts about all of them so they’ll be getting their own post(s) :D Good too, since I didn’t talk much about Embroidery’s closet cosplay haha

Day 6 was actually a bit of a question mark for me at first! :0 Not as though I don’t love when Edgar has to clean up Scriabin’s self-inflicted problems haha, I just wasn’t sure what it should be! Making it seasonal helped a bit there - lots of sticker burrs around here when we go walking haha. The bonus ended up being a digital-only, but it was a good motivator to finish these, and then the full poses came to mind - I’m not sure why I was more excited to work on full body poses, but I really was! Maybe the success of meeting my self-imposed challenge haha

I ended up scrapping the alt since it reminded me a little too much of one of the ‘22 reqs - trying to keep things fairly fresh! It was also a little too cartoony haha, where would Edgar suddenly pull such strength from! This doesn’t look like a dream! At least it wouldn’t have been a nightmare of Scriabin being hurt :’) Rescue!

Day 7 was another insta-idea! Really going back and forth on those lol, it sprouted into my head fully formed! This was actually one of a couple I wrote down as I was away from my notebook while brainstorming, so it came back as a mini script; one of more dialogue-heavy ones! Chicken or egg, I wonder, hmm. I always draw Smoker with her sleeves up even though she usually wears them down haha, I dunno. Had a heck of a time with Angie’s hair! I tend to make hair super super fluffy but hers is long and straight and presumably weighs itself down! Doesn’t floof! You’d think having heavy hair myself would incline me towards knowing anything about it but nope lol

Little bouncy concepts haha, and poor Mousey so jealous in the middle, surrounded with them having the most fun!

Day 8 was fairly simple with such a focused ask of them eating Specific Food - can do! Chibis just felt right for such a cute food haha. Would Edgar have a crepe pan, I wonder... I suppose a lot of it comes down to the batter, I haven’t made crepes in such a long time so I wouldn’t know anymore haha

Day 9 featured the slouchy throne! You can see I like the little leggies haha, I did make it a touch more proportional in the final version but who can resist the sillies! Had to draw it and Mettaton separately so I could easily see their silhouettes, I think it all came together in the end fairly well :) Had one heck of a time getting the bottom of his shoes to play nice, but I’m proud of how it turned out!!

Day 10′s, who can resist skelehugs ♥ No I! Not me!! The original had them a lot more upright, I’m glad I went with my note of leaning them back a bit more. Also had Papyrus’ legs on either side of Sans, protective <3 I do like both, but I think they look a bit more reasonably comfortable in the final version, figuring out contact points with one of Papyrus’ legs all the way to one side was too much haha. No boots on the couch! I think they look a bit younger in the final version too, maybe from their eyebrow expressions? Interesting how such small changes can make a big difference ♪

Day 11 was originally going to feature a bunch more Pokemon!! Several of my pink-and-purple faves all gathered around MewTwo <3 Flaafy and Musharna and Sableye my beloved 💜 And of course Whismur!! Can’t but Whismur all the time haha, but in the end I opted to go for the simpler(?) option of just the two ‘mons interacting

Whismur is so spooked by you, even lying down!! Even tho I drew it so I can see it right in front of me, I just can’t imagine MewTwo lying down to investigate haha. More posing changes! Lot of ‘em this year. Pls to quiet, cats have very sensitive hearing, you don’t need to shout

Day 12 started off with probably the Correct Amount of confusion lol, considering even @cutiebetutie​ didn’t expect this to be the matchup lolol, still deeply hilarious to me. But hey, what was I going to do, question a crackship?? Do I look like the kind of person who would say no to exploring some possibilities? Of course I had to give them a scope lol

Haha, “Alt” in quotes as I knew this would actually be the full version, the handholding is cute but where’s the dynamic! There is something there after all! I think so anyway, some tiny tiny sliver that they could start from, and what more foot in the door do you really need? If Nny’s on his charm that drew Devi in, I don’t see why someone a little more airheaded like Jake couldn’t be beguiled haha, if he lasts long enough for that ♪ It’s very tense! I wish him well, I wonder if he could protect himself... Just cut and run, Jake!! Makes for an interesting suspense, that’s for sure haha

Day 13‘s kigurumis!!! Yay!!!! Smol and I successfully wore ours for Halloween this year, we’re them fr fr haha, definitely one of my favourites from this season <3 <3 They’re so cute! Biggest change from here to there is probably where the legs start/end haha, kigurumi have funny little legs hehe. And also Papyrus’ gloves! Sans ended up without any, I can’t resist a hand plate here or there ♪ Also him closing his one good eye to pun about was an accident until it wasn’t haha, just another excuse to do a touch of rereading :3

Day 14‘s turned out so good for how cramped the sketch was!!! Gaster’s hardly there at all! Which is appropriate in its own way haha, filling in the rest of his details was pretty fun tho :) Papyrus looks a lot more desperate in this version which I do like, but him openly enjoying himself is very sweet, who could deny him that <3 Quite pleased with how his arm and hand posing came together in the end as well, fairly minor changes but I think it all flows together much nicer :D

Day 15′s word bubbles turned out way cleaner in the sketch than the final version?? Calls for more practice I suppose; it is asymmetrical, but it does look nice! Maybe needed more colour swatches haha, more and more rows! Edgar’s unimpressed look in the final version is quite good I think but there’s almost a kind of urgency with no eyes behind blank glasses hmm, they both have their merits! I applaud everyone who caught Scriabin holding the bi flag as his swatches! :D Good eye!

Day 16 began The Sleepies lol, I was a bit tired while doodling the first go and it uhm. Well. I mean. You can see lol. S’a bit goofy haha

The alt was much much better! I did end up leaving out the grass which I’m a Little disappointed about - feels too manicured, too sterile in the final version! But I really couldn’t figure a way of adding a bit of visual noise that wouldn’t look flat as well! Minecraft, eh, lol. I am quite pleased with how round Moomin turned out tho :D He looks like a marshmallow in the final version! Yay!

I actually doodled Day 17′s concept before 16 since it came to me so strongly - I do kind of like how much more upright Mob is here, him being as hunched over as he is in the final version adds to the moodiness of the piece I feel. He really is such a good boy! I don’t wish him dark and upsettings!

Day 18‘s didn’t get a paper sketch as I was verrryyyyy tired and had no energy to scan, so skipped the step that would make scanning necessary haha. For all that, I do rather like the digital sketch tho! I think Snufkin’s left leg is a bit better proportioned, and his expression is maybe a bit cheekier? Moomin’s perfect, no notes haha. I also ended up really liking their tail expressions, how Snuf’s is kind of straight and flat while Moomin’s is very roundy hehe <3

I know I said Day 20 doesn’t count but I mean, it’s on the same page! It got the “Day 20″ label! Sketch can go here why not haha. Happy belated Ace Week! I thought it was fun to put a bunch of pink lovehearts around the big central ace heart for me specifically hehe 💜💗

I mentioned in the tags that Day 26‘s original concept was too big to try to do all at once and ahhhh I wish I’d been able to swing it!! I wish I’d been able to do the whole thing!!!! I love scenes like this the most!! Little isometric rooms with little isometric characters all chatting and interacting and being cute and silly and tiny!! I love that! Alas, it had to stay a sketch, but here it is!! Can you recognize everyone here? The main three got the center, but who could the rest be :3c And what of their costumes! Hehe ♪

Still fighting back the sleepies for what ended up being the final version so the dialogue was left much more vague than the caption haha, the aliens don’t even have feet here! I suppose they are meant to be in fish costumes lol, it tracks that only the fully-human Captain’s legs would end there, but definitely not intentionally done so lol. I like ZEX’s expression here so muuuuch ahh I wish I’d been able to capture it a bit better in the digital version! Always something for next time haha

I actually ended up drawing Day 30′s sketch very very last, so this was the last doodle of the season! Me, projecting my tiredness onto the Vargases? Nooo <3 Another one that ended up very very different from the final version, I just needed Something down to paper and out of my head to work with really - I knew even while drawing this that I was going to end up with something very different haha. Sometimes hand just does whatever it wants pft. The dialogue was the star of the show here! And you can see what Scriabin was up to, obscured by the couch haha

Day 31, penultimate sketches for the final day! I really do love Scriabin hiding behind Edgar - wants to be included but not That close, very much with Edgar in the way of anything bad happening to him haha. More pose changes! I like both versions, Todd holding Shmee for comfort or him spilling out of his lap as he focuses all his attention on Joel <3 Both cute in different ways!

Cats are still not one of my strong-suits, but I have been drawing them a bit more recently! Admittedly of the cartoon variety, but even that has had some effect I think! Like their little triangle noses, and the way their ears scoop inwards, and whiskers - little things! I like it! I had fun with these little concept poses, Joel kind of curiously huddling on Edgar’s chest, looking at the world from a safe vantage spot haha. Hold him gently! He deserves it!

All the sketches from this year! I ended up having a lot of fun this season even if it was a little lighter than previous years haha, thank you again to everyone who joined!! ♥

[capn-twitchery]

I love your ocs but I fear I am a bit out of touch with some of their lore. how much does Grace know about the red honey fuckery?

thank you sm!! :D♥︎ don't worry--i'm not sure i've actually spoken about this a whole lot!! (plus my lore is scattered around random posts like a ransom note. imagine being organised, couldn't be me)

for context: the two of them are a ridiculously slow slowburn bc neither of them know how to talk about feelings, they go in different directions a lot, twitch's response to Having Feelings (or anything) is to disappear to zee. everything takes forever. there's a summary of their timeline here if you want it !!

ANYWAY to answer:

tl;dr summary: most of the time, nothing! eventually, more than anybody else.

so, for most of the time, grace knows absolutely nothing. nobody does, really--twitch doesn't tell anybody, they don't want to talk about it, nobody sees their face at all.

as far as anyone knows, including grace, twitch's bad memory, lying & inconsistent stories are just a personality quirk. and they get sick sometimes, they just need bedrest & won't be available for a few hours, a day, a couple of days. nobody is allowed to see them.

grace remains mostly unaware for a long time--he has inklings that something is up. once he gets to know twitch better, he can tell they're not themself sometimes. but prying would push twitch away, so he just offers help, if they want company, for their headaches the surgeon mentioned. he'll leave the cabin door unlocked, just in case.

he has no idea how bad the "headaches" are until it's happening right in front of him, once they're close enough for twitch to trust him to that degree. he has no idea why it's happening, but he knows twitch doesn't want to tell him, either. and when they're sobbing in his lap, pleading for something he doesn't understand to stop, begging him to help them tie a blindfold because they don't want him to see their face, it's not exactly the time to pry.

it happens a few times. it never gets easier, and it never gets any clearer. it's not til after grace leaves for the new sequence and comes back that he finally sees their face uncovered. he doesn't connect any dots-whether that's because he genuinely just doesn't make the connection, or because twitch doesn't want him to make a big deal about it, who knows!

while he was gone, twitch starts connecting some dots: something's weird with their memories. they don't know how to process it. they bring it up subtly, ask grace if he knows anything about red honey, and maybe he can figure it out himself. he tells them he does, he learned about it during nemesis, in the palace cage gardens. it still haunts him, sometimes, the prisoners with their crying, the suffering the hollow looking eyes-

the eyes.

everything clicks all at once-twitch's eyes, their headaches, the memory issues, the inconsistencies, the lies. it only gets worse when twitch tells him they're starting to wonder if the memories are all theirs.

oh, god. how could anybody do that to them? who did that to them? but twitch doesn't want him on any kind of revenge mission, they don't even think they remember where the cage garden was, and they don't want to try either. he settles for comforting them the best he can-but what can anyone do to help, really?

at the very least, trusting someone enough to talk about it is a huge weight off twitch's shoulders. grace can help them try to figure out what's going on with their memories, it makes them better at talking to each other. it's not easy, but it helps twitch to move forward-slowly, but surely

[cerosin-bis]

i'm really curious as to your interpretation of why krueger killed his parents, did he have a particular reason? did he kill them just because he knew he was capable to kill? i personally hc him as having a but of a god complex but it would be wonderful to see your input. thank you tumblr celebrity!! ❤️

I wanna preface this by saying that "krueger offed his parents" is my interpretation of his in-game lore (fled his home country to evade murder charges *and* both parents dead), and not outright stated.

It is a choice of mine to have never fully imagined what could have led to this. I like when things stay vague. I also (personally, again) headcanon Krueger to have psychopathic traits, so... there's always a part of uncertainty/shadow that is absolutely inherent to the character and my interpretation of him.

My headcanon is that he half-accidentally killed someone while in his early 20s. realised that the thrill associated with it was not "addictive" per se, but definitely indulged something in his brain. This, alongside having developed since his early childhood (I absolutely stand with you there) an unassumed god complex, and at one point in his mid-20s it just... happened. Can't be more precise than this because that's the extent of it to me.

Bonus doodles of early 20s ID picture and late 20s absolutely did not not falsify his papers KSK krueger because this man has never been arrested once in his life and doesn't have proper mugshots.

[yuseirra]

Omg though, I had this happen for YEARS but there are times when I draw something in a very serious manner, going 'ohh this is so angst...' and then, I see people responding to it saying "it's so cute!"

I love that (while feeling a bit perplexed-is perplexed the really right word for this- I get a bit confused, but I'm happy!) um.. But I hope what I meant does still get through...! I really am serious abt conveying feelings and all? Although it can't be helped if it isn't!

So maybe I should go for "cute" in terms of creating things. I can make even sad things cute. I don't actually intend for things to be that way! So maybe it is a speciality that I just have! I'd like that! Then I have something more to be confident about you know?

Reactions really do help you learn things about yourself you can't find out on your own. I enjoy them, so thank you very much...I sincerely enjoy reading them when it happens. I want to know about how you feel about my things(please be kind because my heart is so very tender)

I'll go out and have fun! And draw more, hope you all have a good time today too! I've been here for so long, and there wasn't a single year I felt unhappy about being here, I felt so lucky and excited and fortunate and I believe I keep meeting the best people. That's true luck on my end and I know that well, so I HAVE to say my thanks when I could. On every platform I've been on, I should. I do it time to time... I'm grateful, so I wish to get better so that I can give out better things. That's what I'd like to say!

Thank you @ everyone!

Okay so, I haven't been on this blog for long (basically a week lol), but I still have met so many awesome RPers on here, people who offer me the chance to explore my muse, who write many different plots with me despite me being really medicore lol... and I am so, so, grateful for that! In fact, I don't even know how to express my gratitude for all of you being here!

So, the least I can do is to make a shoutout-post for the awesome people I've been writing with for the last few days. In no particular order. I just want to say THANK YOU with that - thank you for being here, thank you for writing with my Stephen, and thank you for indulging me despite my blog being a mess lol.

I am so happy I was allowed to 'arrive' here and welcomed by so many of you. THANK YOU!!! The year is almost over, so this is also a post for me to tell you: I hope you will have a wonderful start into 2024, no matter whether you celebrate or not. I hope that all the fortune you could ever need will arrive at your doorstep and that you will smile more in 2024 than you did in 2023 ♥ Sending you all good vibes and hugs!

Okay, here we go! AWESOME PEOPLE.

If you cannot find yourself here, that doesn't mean I am not thankful for you to be around - quite the opposite! Thank you so, so much for being here! ♥ ! I simply mentioned the ones I have interacted with a few times by now, exchanged one-two-more OOC messages with, or people who I know from my other blog and I am interacting with there too. In case you are a mutual, not mentioned and we didn't interact (a few times) yet: HEY HELLO, I am so up to doing that! ♥ Lets get to know each other!

Also, if we aren't mutuals: THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE STILL! I appreciate you for being around and think you are absolutely awesome, even if I don't follow you back! ♥

Okay, since I already made a massive post on my other blog the other day that basically sucked the life out of me (lol), I shall end this one here. Again: Thank you so much for putting up with me, for being around, for writing with me. *bows*

L. over and out! (Finally lol)

[mythvoiced]

“Are you sure you don’t want to join me in Milan?” It’s a question, but from Kang Aeri, it sounds more like a demand. An appeal if one were to put this interaction into legal terms.  “You wouldn’t have to worry about the cost or the language; I’m learning Italian right now and I’m very good. If you’re that worried about mooching off of me, I have something you could do for me in return.”

Casually, she links arms with them, her best friend and her favorite model. “C’mon Hyun-ah, think about it– no dispatch, no social obligations, no rules. We can even bring our partners along if they’re not too busy with their paperwork.”

( AND NOW I AM HERE!!! with the fashion bffs bc hyun needs a vacay and aeri is HAPPY to provide 🤩🤩🤩 especially if it means she gets to dress her bff however she wants :D )

@stillresolved | the 'girls' are planning~!!!!

Occasionally, Hyun will pretend. Or, well, to be quite frank, she does a lot more pretending than she does genuine emoting, which often leads to particularly interesting memories for the people around her.

She's mostly known for the stern demeanor, the coldness she emanates, look into her eyes when she's working and walk away knowing you've met something more powerful than you, at least because the will in her gaze would insinuate her to be so.

But with Aeri?

Well...

Every rule has its exceptions.

When Aeri links their arms together, Hyun lets her drag her in with the feigned eye-roll of someone who'd started considering relenting about ten minutes prior to the conversation even starting.

It'd be more sensible to remain in South Korea, hell, to remain in Seoul. She isn't the most savvy at her own public relation work - exhibit A the reason she supposedly needs a vacation - but even she would wonder, would going on a trip to Milan with a powerful, well-regarded fashion designer everyone knows her to be close to not just make her look...

Disinterest?

Arrogant?

She's in deep legal shit, after all, defamation lawsuits she's trying to start and others she's trying to battle, flounting money that isn't hers via a connection that is hers...

Wouldn't it be perfectly on brand?

Hyun turns to look at Aeri. The look in her eyes seems to insinuate Aeri is being both terribly tempting and awfully inconsiderate for attempting temptation in the first place. But isn't that what she likes so about Kang Aeri?

It's easy to forget how powerful Aeri's family is when in her presence solely because of how much more raw power she exudes. Wealth and status colour the air differently depending on if its new or old money. Sure, not even Hyun can say Aeri came from a poor background and worked her way up, she's a liar but not a dumb one.

But from the ground up Aeri worked herself anyway. Her background doesn't imply the freedom to do as she pleases. When her designs had started covering the racks she used to throw the brands of others she'd wear, they were sewn together by her own needle-pricked fingers.

And if Hyun were to say yes here, she'd say yes to Aeri's favour. Not the Kang's.

Which is perhaps where the real temptation lies: watching her best friend show off with things she's put together for herself, a ladder she'd not only climbed, but also built.

"You mentioned something I could do for you in return," she says, leaning away slightly to regard her with a teasing look. Honestly, she'd had her at the first hint of an idea of a suggestion here. Watching Kang Aeri turn heads in Milan while she upset the deeply Catholic country with her wife at her side, arms linked or around waists, all while said country could not say anything for how powerful her presence was, how lucrative it would be?

Witnessing that with her own hand stuffed in Boram's, all while she could sit by, smell like the finest of perfumes, dismiss people with 'I don't speak Italian, sorry' and pretend trouble doesn't await her back home?

Oh.

Yeah.

Definitely.

"You're lucky I'd do anything for you," Hyun says, reaching around with her free hand to pinch Aeri's cheek, which is about as obvious a 'duh, I'm coming' as the phrase itself would have been.

What do you think how Seraphine and Viktor would interact with each other, especially in their own experience between being from the Undercity and being a child of parents that came from there?

I took a little moment to rewatch some of the episodes at the first Season to have a better view, so sorry for the little delay on answering this, in case you were the first Anon asking about Sera in Arcane. I dearly appreciate you btw, helping me come with neuron food for her character ♥

A little disclaimer before I proceed: Know that my vision here is again, following my divergence for her lore, which I take as canon-to-go until Riot fix the issues. Since Arcane is meant to be the new runeterra-prime canon, we are considering it as both lines for LoL & Arcane simultaneously.

Most of my muses are far from the events of Piltover/Zaun the show presented. So besides Seraphine & LeBlanc, I think all can work well for the situation going on. I have also divergence in events regarding LeBlanc, but this would be boarded in a different post.

So! I personally think there could be interact in actual good terms to be honest, both before HexTech’s development & during the continuation of the investigation alongside Jayce.

From EP 2 / S1, Viktor basically mentions "Nobody's ever believed in me, a poor cripple from the undercity" He was an outcast right from the moment he placed a foot on Piltover, without sponsor benefits nor a name of his own. He simply had faith on himself. He basically in that scene with Jayce when he gives his notes back, he was also thinking he was on the right path and wanted to help him complete his investigations. He is very honest there on wanting to change the world for the better, thinking in that moment that Hextech has the potential to do it. I personally think (and this is coming from my own personal experience with chronic joint pain & other health troubles due hypermobility), that it is inevitable not to wish to have better chances to navigate the world arounds us. The way Viktor at first thinks it could change the world for the better, probably comes from that side. At least, I admit, if I could have something almost magical to facilitate my life for the better, instead of dealing with pain every day, I would take it.

The world needs to become better for anyone disabled, for everybody in need. Arcane presents us with realities that mimic our world. Since I imagine Seraphine to be passionate over invention & science equally, long before actually discovering her magical potential & hoping for a dream to be a recognized inventor at the Academy of Piltover thanks to the influence of her Dad & her constant, almost daily, job at the workshop...

I can actually imagine her trying to come out with inventions of her own at the back of the shop. (I keep in my brain dearly that her Arcane involved in S2 is help trying to aid those in need or sending supplies). She would had heard a lot about Zaun and the difficulties for the people down there from her Dad and Mom, so she tries her best to think on ideas to make their worlds a better one, even if it´s nothing but the dream of a young pink-haired girl by then... I can actually see her getting along with Viktor in that similar wish: Make the World a better place. Regardless of her talents & how the workshop got to be renown at Piltover to fix here and there little problems. Her family also came to the City of Progress **without a distinguished name, no sponsorship nor benefits, but faith on themselves.** Seraphine is not denying the effort, she probably saw it first hand on her childhood, how the workshop had ups and downs, how dreams shattered and repaired themselves a lot. I feel, before the events on S2, they could had formed a friendship out of casualty. Maybe Viktor had been there a couple of times at the workshop, purchasing pieces from them as well. Maybe Sera had come up with something to help him out of casualty... who is to say conversation over science won't spark all as she sits repairing something, maybe about Zaun itself. Maybe Viktor heard the students at the academy about the place and he just wanted to take a look... who knows, Im coming with reasons out of the blue too. That man looks curious to see potential on things, probably he thought on bringing something that was complicated to repair as a test, and mah gal there returned it in perfect function with the cockiest of smiles

" There... like a piece of Pancake. " "I think you meant Cake" "Cakes are more difficult to make >:3c " Also I think that, over the same feeling of a similar past, they could feel understood. How people looks pass them, as if they are not there. But having a friend who actually sees you as a presence, could be comforting, even if in the slightest. Maybe, following again my hc of her wanting to be at Piltover's University one day to pursue her passion, they could share books between them and experiences inside that place, have some bg of Seraphine going there eventually to help with something by his recommendation, not necessarily the hextech investigations obviously... but I assume Viktor was probably aware of many other investigations facing trouble if being the assistant of Heimmerdinger. Many students could use her help.

Who knows? ♥ Maybe he could have faith on her, knowing what it is to not have anyone have faith in you due were you come from... if he was able to scalate from his background to where he is by dedication and faith alone, maybe she could also too. Seeing a fellow Zaunite blood person cultivating her path without more than following her dreams.

This is also me being self-indulgent me, I would had loved it if Seraphine would had been involved in at least some of his projects. Again, not necessarily hextech involved, but as while he is doing his own researches, he mentions after all 'Do you think I came here wanting to be an assistant?', and I personally interpret it as he still trying to be recognized beyond the shadow of Heimer. I think It would be nice for him to also have a friend during this time who believes he can do it, doesn´t matter if Piltovan or Zaunite.

So yeah, I can see her being that friend that would cheer him on, during his path of success, before he would get extra busy. Maybe it was also thanks to his words that Professor Heimerdinger would had known about the workshop, and eventually with time had created those headphones with the tiny drop-size shards of hex-crystal. HOWEVER, I admit your ask made me reconsider it, that perhaps Viktor & Jayce could had given them to her?

But hey, again, I’m not pushing anything, I’m merely thinking on possibilities as I write this reply, sorry if I ramble a lot. Also never consider my ideas like engraved eternally on stone with laser or something, I’m very open to discuss things and exchange thoughts ♥

So yeah! Those are ways I think they could had interacted. During the events on Season 2, it comes to be a far trickier situation. Maybe she could had arrived to the little Cult place? Now this makes me wonder how she would had perceived the symphonies of the people in there since all of them were husks of their former selves & a collective hive mind. I think she would had tried to talk to Viktor to ask for answers over it, even if she wouldn’t do something drastic against her friend as Jayce did when shooting him. She may had probably ended there while delivering supplies to the people in need, and heard about the ‘Eden’ that the Messiah practically did down there...

If any Viktor muse would like to expand on any of this and work plots for them, know that I would be more than happy too! I think they both have a lot to offer as interaction wise ♥

Thank you for the ask; Noonie ♥ ; have a great day!
