Just a random assortment of headcanons & AUs for Arcane:
Headcanons:
- Vi does that thing cats do where she just curls up in random patches of sunlight.
-- Caitlyn almost had a heart attack because of this one time Vi was just casually sleeping on the edge of the roof.
-- One time her parents asked why her girlfriend was sprawled out on the coffee table and just "damn it Vi."
- Vi sometimes falls asleep while standing up.
- Caitlyn eats ice cubes.
- Caitlyn's parents are just as protective of Vi as she is. They hear someone say something and go into full "tf did you say about our future daughter in law" mode (in their polite Piltovian way, of course).
- Caitlyn told Jayce about that time Vi punched the tower down so now he sometimes asks her to help test the durability of whatever he's building because surely if it can survive that it can survive anything.
- Every time Jayce says or does something stupid Viktor just bonks him on the head with his cane.
Alternate Universes:
- Arcane AU where everything is the same except instead of actual explosives Jinx just yeets paint bombs at everyone.
- Instead of getting arrested Vi is adopted by Sevika.
-- I find the mental image of Sevika turning to Silco and going "if you get to keep the small explody child, I get to keep the small punchy child" amusing.
-- Eventually leads to a "competitive parenting" dynamic where Silco is actively trying to win while Sevika just does it by accident.
-- If Sevika wants time off or a raise she just asks Vi to break something that would inconvenience Silco (though, let's be honest, Vi doesn't need much convincing for that), sometimes they get Jinx to help because Silco is physically incapable of being angry at Jinx for longer than five minutes.
- AU where Vi actually is the leader of Zaun but Caitlyn doesn't know cause it just never comes up, Vi herself doesn't mention it and no one in the Undercity brings it up because "what idiot doesn't know that?" so the two of them are just off doing their thing without it ever being addressed, cut to some point in the future & the council mention wanting to meet whoever's in charge and Vi pipes up "oh yeah, that's me" and Caitlyn's just standing there like "excuse me, what???"

Nagisa-kun's not just a cutie (۶•̀ᴗ•́)۶🔥
(Reference from "Shikimori's not just a cutie")
I think Lucanis is a man of actions, not words.
Lucanis has the opportunity to take care of someone for the first time (or for the first time in a long time).
He will…
Protect your sleep, no matter how short it is.
Not just cook food for you and other companions - make sure your plate is full and you eat enough.
Check that your wounds are healing. That his treatment helps.
Know that your armor is intact and your sword is always ready for a battle. But the best armor for you is Lucanis himself.
Believe that the people you travel with won't let you down when he's not around. He'll explain them in private how to best watch your back.
Try to make sure that you don’t stain your clothes with the blood of enemies. Your hands. It is easier for him to live with the understanding that only his hands are unclean.
Wish silently that where your foot steppes the ground is firm. That the sky above your head is bright.
He can't say that.
The most he can say at the beginning of journey is:
"I’ll protect you".
Need to understand that the promise of protection from him is something that you will carry through entire life.
But Lucanis has no idea that his greatest feat is just…
To live for his friends. To be alive for you.
THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN
Had Hozier lived in Thedas, perhaps he would have written a song for blood mages in love, beneath the Chantry’s watchful gaze. A cover of "Take Me To Church" for the Dragon Age series.
Original Song: “Take Me To Church” by Hozier Background Track: Michael Gaffney Lyrics and Cover: FeatherWriter
Lyrics
My lover’s not hurtful She’s a smile in the Circle Her rivalry or her approval Laid claim upon my soul If a Herald ever did speak She’s the Fade’s new mouthpiece Every spell draining ‘til I’m weak Cultivating her mystique Power’s our curse They say there’s none worse
Chantry offers no absolutes Tells us worship our tormenters The gilded cage that we’ve been sent to Disappears when I’m with you Pay your price quick Can barely feel it Enthralled beneath your spell
Amen, Amen, Amen
Sing me the chant I’ll howl like a dog with each dissonant chord I’ll smile as I burn, and you can sharpen your sword Take from me this lifeless life Oh, Maker, let this be my reward
Abominations of a new kind Don’t let them come to light Hold the secrets deep inside Paint your lips with perfect lies Forget what they teach Embrace the Fade’s reach
No more wasting our potential Bare your soul to the essential Why hold back if we’re able? Binding demons into faithful Let the veins bleed Raise a new creed Bless this holy work
(Chorus)
No passions or fear when the ritual begins There is no sweeter innocence than our desperate sin In the shadow and blood of that sad, fallen scene Only then I’m made human, only then I am clean
Amen, Amen, Amen
(Chorus)
❝ You’re mine. Understand? ❞
