Guys. Pls. Read it's perfect TTwTT

With nothing but a broken mp3 player, 18¢, a “fun-sized” bag of M&Ms, and a wallet full of gift cards that may or may not be expired, describe how you saved humanity from extinction.

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???"

Why people don't understand when we say

"Rosegarden is bullied"

I finally figured it out. they come from big ships. it seems other people think we're a big ship when we're not. they don't realize how small we are. it's majority ships vs a minority ship. that's not in terms of rival ships, but just the sheer size of any ship.

rg has like 20-30 active shippers (that's being generous. probably closer to like 10-20) at a time between twitter and tumblr; and only like a handful of content creators, most of which aren't even active in the community.

while big ships gets art or fics out the wazoo for big crumbs, we don't. we had huge crumbs the last two episodes and there's nothing. that's not a fault of the content creators ofc, but i'm using it to put things in perspective.

they don't realize even 5-10 people talking shit (joking or not) is huge for us. i've called it bullying in the past because that's what it is when it's so many people against so few. it's the sheer size of the ship vs the bigger ships like wr and nnd that makes the difference between 5 rg shippers talking trash about those ships and this ships talking trash about our's. neither scenario is right, but it hits harder when those 5 attackers are equivalent to 30-40% of one ship's active shippers vs 1-2% of another.

when you don't have enough people to drown out the hate, it becomes exhausting and really brings you down.

half the shippers i've asked said they were afraid to publicly admit to shipping rg bc of how much shit rg gets. i've met multiple people who've left the community because of the bullying, too.

if you check the twitter replies of this crosspost right now—only two hours since i posted it—there's already several people coming forward with their stories and their fears. more and more people keep coming out as the post spreads. my heart breaks for them.

the worst part is that i know rg isn't the only ship with this problem. i'm begging you all to think about how you would feel in our shoes. to try to be more mindful of the size of your ship vs the size of others.

trust me when i say your words are a lot louder than you intend.

Daily fucking reminder that Luigi Mangione is innocent, completely and fully. He has been convicted of no crime. He has had no fair trial. He is a SUSPECT. Luigi Mangione is entirely innocent and everyone needs to stop parroting this insidious propaganda that he “committed” the crime he is only SUSPECTED of. He is not a murderer. He is not a criminal. He is an innocent man.

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)

Heaven sent
