Hi ito, was rereading some of your fics today and got so much nostalgia from when I first read them, which reminded me of how lovely and amazing your fics are and just wanted to let you know that they've genuinely shaped and impacted the way I am (to a very extensive degree may I add). Which led me to wonder: Do you have any of those? Like, do you have any fics that have rewired your brain or changed your life in any way? It would be very interesting yo know!
Anyways, again I love love your fics, they'll forever hold a space in my heart, hope you have a good day :)!
I'm sick today and was dying in bed when I read this, but it kind of felt like being revived in a video game. I'm now dressed, fed, and on my laptop. The miracles of people being incredibly nice to me.
Honstly though this is such a lovely thing for you to say. I can only hope that the thing I've chosen to do for a lifetime (making art in many forms) actually impacts people :D
I do in fact, have many of those! Some of them are bookmarked on my page and some aren't but here's a few that come to mind:
first love/ late spring by citiboys: obviously. i have gushed about this fic so many times, I've grown trite and predictable. It was like unpaid therapy. It has influenced all of my jjk works and the very way I think about relationships in real life.
Choke by valleykey: truly rewrired the way I think about the art of fics. the medium in general you know? It's truly limitless, the way traditional publishing won't ever be, and that's so wonderful. I'm lucky enough that Key is my friend now, and I get to gush to xex about xir work.
On the process of being unmade by kinematics: funnily enough, key recommended me one of their works first,, but it's this one that blew my fucking brains off. The amount of class consciousness and politics and understanding of trauma this person manages to inject their stuff with is unreal.
11:53 by bokeae: I must have talked about this before. Like, there's no way. This fic shot 16year-old-me in the head. It's so fucked and so spectacular and I can't believe it's only 20k words but manages to take me on a journey that literally rips the fabric of space and time. Largely the inspiration behind "F#A# Infinity."
most of user Gravitational's works: they have truly mastered purple prose. I've studied their style so many times. I've read and re-read all of their jjk works. I cannot comprehend the artistry with which they weave emotions into words. I aspire to write like them one day.
and last but definetely not least: I Was Screaming Your Name Through The Radio, by ElectricSplatters: call me basic, I call me a fan of the classics, okay? Compared to the rest of this list, this fic is the most played-safe in terms of style but my godddddd does this person know what good miscommunication means. It's in the way they make me understand why the characters can't say these things to each other, even though they feel it to a catastrophic extent. It's in how their dynamic visibly matures on page, as they grow older. I don't think I'd be off if I said this fic is what shapped most people's understanding of skk outside of canon.
i tried to include a variety of stuff in terms of fandoms and ships in case anyone wants to take a dive but these are like...A key to the fucked up basement that is my head. Sun leaks through the broken windows every once in a while.
have an amazing day and thank you for making mine :D

Like. Love doesn’t transcend severance but grief does. Grief changes you in a way love doesn’t, like. Like even if you remove the memory of loss, grief remains, but if you remove the object of affection, love doesn’t. Like. Innie Mark wakes up in the elevator every day knowing his outtie has been crying before work and feeling a certain void that he doesn’t know how to satisfy or express with the vocabulary of limited emotions he has been given. But like when he sees Ms Casey, she sparks no emotion or memory. But also grief is like. A sadder word for love. So maybe she does. So maybe Mark’s grief finds a home in Helly’s face. Like
do you get me?
"I can make like 10 of these" pleeeease do (if you want and have the time to of course!)
Sure!
- In the alternate universe, Powder is wearing Vi’s necklace from act 1 season 1.
- Jayce’s hammer is designed to resemble a butterfly when cracked open (a symbol of transformation and rebirth)
- He and Viktor break opposite legs :)) (plus Jayce’s whole journey in episode 7 is climbing to Piltover from the undercity with only one leg. Basically what Viktor did, metaphorically. Only then is he able to understand him)
- In the document Cait is checking at the end that outlines the vents, only Jayce is written as an inventor. Viktor’s name is nowhere
- In the intro, Ekko has two shadows that tick like a clock.
- Most scenes of Mel from Jayce’s eyes can be directly paralleled to earlier scenes of Viktor, frame by frame.
- There’s also this brilliant scene from s1 where Jayce is about to go on stage and sets his coffee mug directly in the viewer’s line of sight, hiding Viktor in the background. The mug has Jayce’s face on it (symbolic of Jayce overshadowing him)
- In the alternate reality, it’s shown that Powder draws Ekko on her notebook and he lets him draw on it too.
- In the final battle, they painted each other. There’s Ekkos designs all over Jinx’s body and she’s wearing his jacket in the beginning. (Plus i think she cropped his top lmao)
- The rune embedded on Jayce’s skin is right over his pulse point. // when he operates on Viktor he basically makes the hexcore his heart (which becomes a metaphor for him losing his humanity both figuratively and literally later)
- They say the rune of inspiration is what was missing from the equation all this time,, and a little before Sky dies she’s about to tell Viktor about independent research she has been doing that might be useful. She had probably found it.
- It’s possible that Cait died along with Vi in the alternate universe, since she was the one that caught them breaking in. String of fate and whatnot.
Bonus LoL fact: Jayce calls Viktor “Vee” in their canon interactions, when he gets way too enthusiastic about blasting people
