MY SHAYLASSSS
finally caved in and drew them 🫶🏼
i’ll say it til the cows come home but as undeniably strange as the star wars prequels are, george lucas’ direction with anakin was downright fucking inspired. people were waiting for whatever badass backstory lucas was sure to give them, awaiting a naturally intimidating actor with rogueish charm to be cast, waiting for this masterpiece of badass villainy or whatever, and george lucas is like no, no, i’ve got you. and then he finds the one man on the planet who looked babier than baby mark hamill and says, “his main personality trait will be being weird and awkward, secondary personality trait loving his wife, tertiary personality trait being incredibly good at murder, and all of these traits will do battle on the silver screen for three movies until they all win in possibly the worst way.” that fucking rules. george lucas could’ve done anything with darth vader and he willingly, enthusiastically chose mentally unstable college student who is somehow married but his only friend is his kind-of dad. that fucking rules, top down, that’s fucking exquisite. if you don’t think that premise is inherently entertaining you’ve got no taste
ohoho? Intersection of hyperfixations? Don’t mind if I do
Jayce, heir to a struggling noble family, travels to a remote village to find out why the tribute hasn’t arrived. He’s sure the villagers’ stories about a monster are just lies to trick him. Viktor, a former witcher now living as a cripple, doesn't want to be involved but warns him of the real danger. Unfortunately, Jayce is certain he knows better.
So, who’s the hero refusing the Call? (Viktor. It's Viktor, spoiler)
Vi, Jayce’s bodyguard and friend. My friend asked me not to hurt her in this AU but it's important for the plot T_T (I bet Arcane's writer might have said the same thing)
AU concept where Nanami is a knight and Gojo is royal but like it’s deeper than that
So the Gojo Kingdom had a prophecy of a princess with snow-white hair and glowing blue eyes who would be the next Six Eyes and Infinity user, but uh oh Satoru was born instead of a princess, so his parents parade him around as one and call him Satori. Nobody sees his face behind his veil (that part of the design mimicking his blindfold). “Princess Satori” was messing around with one of the knights on duty one night and got him to break character by revealing that there is no princess and it’s been a prince this whole time. That knight was Knight Lieutenant Nanami, who Gojo then requests to have as his personal guard
Blah blah blah they fall in love and they get married (they allow this to happen to keep selling the idea that Satoru’s a woman lmao) but on their wedding day, the exiled king of the Zen’in Kingdom, Toji Fushiguro (DON’T ASK HOW THAT BUM BECAME KING 😭💀), sneaks in and kills the king and queen, along with Gojo (so we moved the whole Toji thing to when everyone was a little older because it made sense in this plot). Gojo’s actually alive bc he revives himself with RCT, but Nanami doesn’t know that. And now that the king and queen are dead, and so is Satoru, this leaves Nanami to immediately become the king of the Gojo Kingdom. Eventually, after hiding out for a month and letting Toji think he’s truly gone, Gojo goes out and decimates the guy, comes back to the kingdom, and reveals that he’s been alive this whole time while also revealing that there was never a Princess Satori and that it’s been Prince (now King) Satoru the whole time.
Gojo and Nanami go and adopt Megumi and Tsumiki from the Zen’in Kingdom (as both an act of peace between the kingdoms and also to get these kids outta this place where they’re hated) and then have a redo of their wedding on a very small scale on this private beach that only a few people know about
So the bottom drawing is Nanami after he’s been king for a while and I thought it would be silly to give him haha funny mustache teehee because y’know that’s what medieval fantasy kings feel like to me :) there’s a lot more stuff that I left out but that’s the general gist of it all so far 😁
Penelope will always be a girlboss because by sitting behind the 12 axes she told the suitors to shoot through cleanly, not only was she
mocking them by being showing she was fully confident they wouldn’t succeed
But also BASICALLY TELLING EVERYONE THAT THEY WILL NEVER BE BETTER THAN HER HUSBAND WHO ACTUALLY COULD SHOOT THROUGH 12 AXES.
AND ON TOP IF THAT PROVING HER LOVE TO ODY BY SAYING THAT IF ANYONE WERE TO EVER SUCCEED THE CHALLENGE AND BECOME KING, THEY WOULD’VE KILLED HER BY DOING SO. QUITE LITERALLY, SHED RATHER DIE THAN RULE WITH ANYONE OTHER THAN ODYSSEUS!!!
Give me chronically fatigued Viktor.
Give me Viktor, falling asleep at his desk in the middle of the day because he’s been staring at those calculations for so long and his head is just too heavy to keep upright anymore, no matter how much sleep he gets.
Give me Viktor, leaving the lab early in the summers until Jayce builds him a personal AC unit, because the heat makes him drowsy.
Give me Viktor, falling asleep at a Council meeting, because it’s dark and he’s sitting and the voices around him have been droning on for hours. He startles when Jayce nudges him to leave. A succinct summary dictated by Mel appears in the lab the next day. (Viktor appreciates this, as it’s hard to focus on Jayce’s words when he’s so exhausted and he’s terrible at summarizing anyway)
Give me Viktor, nearly causing an explosion when his vision blurs/crosses while engineering, resulting in a stray spark. Jayce bans Viktor from operating machinery after 5pm, one of the only lab rules Viktor hates but won’t break.
Give me Viktor, frustrated at a problem for hours, only for Jayce to correct something he had made a mistake on due to brain fog.
Give me Viktor blaring music, drinking religious amounts of caffeine, and blasting his AC to near-freezing to keep himself somewhat alert.
Give me a Viktor who keeps oversleeping, showing up to the lab at noon because Jayce never has the heart to go and wake him when he clearly needs the rest. Viktor eventually moves in with Jayce because he can’t trust himself to wake up anymore, no matter how many alarms he sets. Plus, Jayce lives closer to the lab, and it’s an easier walk in terms of both pain and fatigue.
Give me Viktor leaning on Jayce at an event because there’s no place to sit and putting weight on his crutch relieves the pain in his leg, not the constant exhaustion pulling at his soul. Give me Jayce offering gentle support for that smallest bit of relief.
Give me a Viktor who’s not tired from long nights in the lab, but because of his illness.
