While I’m working on a few different Arcane things atm (none digital as I’m away from my tablet for a month) I’ve just created another AU that’s very near and dear to my heart. Keep your peepers pealed for a reveal sometime when I’m free to draw 😅🤩👀

Gentle reminder that often creativity decides to hibernate for a bit.

It’s okay.  You’re not broken, you’re resting, and much like spring, creativity comes back.

like i'm sorry but we as a fandom have to stay firm on our anti-AI values. we cannot suddenly start giving AI a pass when it's something we "want to see" like destiel kisses. it's not suddenly fine. we're not going to start using AI to make fanfic scenes come to life or audio AI to make characters "say" stuff we want to hear. you have GOT to be firm on your anti-AI stance. if you start making exceptions then suddenly anything will fly. fandom is for real art and creations made by real people. no AI fanfics. no AI art. no AI rendered "bonus" scenes. no AI audio. none of it has a place here.

[velvetwyrms]

fuck an "intended audience" how about we normalize engaging with new and unfamiliar art pieces on their own terms

[velvetwyrms]

​You’re so right and it’s incredible. I recommend the BBC Proms orchestral version which I too, have saved on a Jayvik alien invasion/cosmic horror AU playlist, it’s so GOOD!!!

Cosmic Love by Florence + The Machine is the lowest hanging fruit to put on a JayVik playlist but it’s honest work and by god someone’s gotta do it

[velvetwyrms]

Nothing beats the feeling when you start getting comments on every fic in a fandom or ship from one person, and it’s clear that they’re going on a fic-binge. 

[velvetwyrms]

TBH maybe more people would rp with real humans instead of chatbots if we sat them down and taught everyone proper roleplay etiquette

[velvetwyrms]

Doing Science StuffTM and all I can think about is my Arcane ‘Guardians’ AU (Northern Lights-esque magical animal companions with Paleobiology and different rules/world building/biology) 🥺💖

Once I’m less busy I wanna draw so much of it, but also it takes a lot outta me. If people are interested then I’ll create more of it though.

[See the first instalment here]

More biblically accurate cosmic terror Viktor & his tiny bf 💖 I’m so happy with how I painted the metal here! Censoring because of tumblr BUT you can see the full thing on my BlueSky.

For those in want of more of Eldritch MH!Viktor, you can check out more artwork & upcoming WIPS on my blog, and I’m currently writing a modern cosmic horror fanfic over on ao3 where the first chapter is already posted!

[Please reblog to stop my hours of hard work from dying in your likes. This let’s others enjoy it and motivates me to write more of these two and this AU! <3]

Closeups under the cut 💖

[velvetwyrms]

wound tending is everything. unparalleled intimacy. let me care for you. let me touch the skin around your open flesh. let me stain my hands with your blood. let me get close and breathe in the same air as you and stare into your eyes for a few seconds too long. let me make you think of me every time you see the bandage, or scar

[velvetwyrms]

You asked for HCs here we go:

Viktor is an excellent DM, and appreciates that while they all have vastly different styles of play, they do try their best at the game, whether that’s getting into RP, tactical fights, or creating interesting characters.

He does try to spin the story for Ekko to have a chance to actually rp his character in a way that’s fulfilling, but works to make sure that everyone gets fair treatment & time in the spotlight. They all have their strengths and weaknesses, but that can work to their advantage, from including old NPCs and plot lines from his and Jayce’s childhood, to creating challenging fights, and moments that he knows will catch Vi and bring her back into the game. He’s very patient and adaptable with how he runs things.

THAT BEING SAID, Viktor and Jinx have the same relationship as Brennan Lee Mulligan and Emily Axford:

Viktor: Jinx is the best D&D player I have ever seen, she is incredible. She was also sent from hell to kill me.

Even with her detailing though, he sees it as a challenge, but one he manages to loop back around eventually.

Ekko also has Ally Beardsley Rolls btw. He will pull the most insanely risky shit you’ve ever seen with an incredibly high number to beat and rolls a 20 when they need it most, always, without fail. Boy saviour in every universe!

STOPPP!!! At least he didn’t evolve into a cat-weasel either.

Writing a scientific paper about evolution and comparative biology, as an actual scientist, to dunk on Viktor Arcane and his Glorious Ovulation or whatever so hard it’s making me cackle. Man is so wrong. I’m giving extreme side eye in the form of this very literal essay, in which I will—

[velvetwyrms]

divinity kink in less of a "fuck me in a nun habit" way and more of a "put me on my knees and rewrite my understanding of faith and show me what a loving god's hand feels like and give me mercy and wrath and splendor and leave your communion dripping from my lips and teach me how every part of my body was meant to worship you"

@diminiefreckle

LITERALYYYY YOU GET IT. I *FELT* MYSELF PHYSICALLY RECOIL THIS MORNING WHEN WATCHING THAT SCENE AGAIN AND DECIDED I NEEDED TO ACADEMICALLY BONK HIM ON THE HEAD.

Shoutout to Harry Lloyd the man that you are and all of the animators & script writers who worked on Arcane for helping me speedrun this paper fuelled by whimsy and pure spite 🥰💖

Heya folks, good news, I’ve started writing Chapter 2 of Summertime, my JayVik modern/sci-fi horror/alien romance au ft. that one gorgeous cosmic horror giant version of machine herald!viktor.

If you haven’t already, you can read it here!

Here’s the name and the first snippet for you:

[velvetwyrms]

I love when characters are always drawn in lab coats even outside the lab because it implies that 1) they are either constantly violating lab safety rules or 2) they have a second, casual lab coat purely for external use
