Thinking about how the arcane artists and designers made sure isha had big eyes to make us see her more innocent and childlike (and make her death hurt even more.) They do this with the other children in the main cast, but with Isha they make sure to push it further, her eyes were bigger, full of wonder joy and innocence, just to make her have a stronger impact as a character
They do this same thing to powder to an extent, they don’t push it as far with her character but they do it, this plays in to how jinx and powder’s character models change, one of the main differences is her eyes because eyes are so key when it comes to character design and shape language and how we perceive each character
Character design save me save me character design…
Alright editors. I have a vision I need someone with the skills to create it to take my vision.
Mel Menards edit to “beautiful little fool” from The Great Gatsby musical.
Does someone see it. Do you see the vision.
No way I just saw someone say the arcane fandom is dead. Like tell me you don't know what a dead fandom is without telling me you don't know what a dead fandom is.
Timebomb coming soon 😈😈😈

When they’re siblings and they’re also doomed
I just wanted to come on here and talk about a personal hc of mine and that is the fact that jinx in like a modern au would be one of those people who has like the craziest looking hair but like in a good way. Like she tried to do one thing fell asleep with the box dye in her hair for like 2 hours and now she looks like she came out of a badass sci-fi movie. You see the vision? If anyone sees this I would live to see your take on this plz artist!!🙏🏾🙏🏾 Same thing with ekko I personally think they dye their hair together.
They could never make me hate you Viktor
Silco is an abuser and a terrible father figure and i'm sick of people pretending he's not.
On the arcane fandom, even to this day there's this weird ass narrative of Silco being "the perfect father for Jinx" or "A loving father who only looks for his daughter's best interest" "girl dad" or whatever other shit this people call him right now.
And the way that i fucking despise this cannot be describe with words unless you count screams of rage and foam as words.
But let's go point for point shall we?
First, how did they meet?
Well the show is kind of ambigous with where they met in time, we know that Vander was already present in the girls lifes before the death of their parents but there is no indicator of prior relationship with Silco. I will then assume for the lack of info that Silco was never an uncle figure to the girls, he was probably too busy with their Zaun plan and he does not seem like the kind of person who would get along with children therefore i will declare that his attempt in murdering Vander and the kids was his first formal introduction to the sisters. He knew they existed, but he didn't had a formal bond with them.
So we can say that when Powder thought she was abandoned by Vi was when Silco stablished contact with her.
Now let's look at this scene in a more raw way, no music, no animation nothing. Just words.
This little girl is crying. She is right now processing the fact that almost all of her family is death. This was all just a very awful chain of events, but her mind cannot comprehend this, this is all her fault in her perspective.
Then comes the true culprit. This man alongside all of his goons are ready to kill her, end with her family's legacy.
Then she just clings to him.
She's acting on pure impulse, because that's what children do. She clinged to him not because she trusted him, not because he seem like a good person but because as a child she would be looking for comfort in the moment where darkness was consuming her mind. And this is the exact moment where this man gets a hold of this vulnerable child and will basically set it all up for him to mold this child into his "Jinx".
"OH BUT THOSE WEREN'T HIS INTENTIONS YOU CANT SAY THAT"
Grooming is a manipulation tactict therefore it is not bound to intentionality, most manipulators don't even know that what they're doing is wrong. Silco very much fits in this.
He projected himself in this child, he said it himself "We'll show them all". This is literally not the case, Vi didn't betray her sister she was having a natural reaction to a traumatic situation, but Silco obviously wouldn't care about it, he doesn't know this children out of this surface level interaction, what matters for him is that he has found someone, he might not have the intention of grooming her but this will be his action from now on.
Now let's take a look at the kind of parenting methods he applied. Most of the community will probably call it "gentle" if asked.
I will however describe it as extremely negligent.
First thing first, Jinx's hideout is dangerous af, this place is not appropiate for...Literally anything, not for testing explosive or treat wounds or to let a child be there constantly. Because i really doubt Jinx only started to have this place only around the time where act 2 was starting considering that at the start this place practically looked like a monument to her trauma. So Silco let this girl spend most of her time in this isolated space that looks like it's going to collapse at any minute, let her test dangerous explosives, and also the final episode shows she could've fallen or thrown herself to the bottom at any moment.
"But Silco has some stuff that Jinx painted over! That means he loves her!"
Abusers can be and actually a lot of them will be loving. Plus loving doesn't mean he takes good care of her, we can say that he loves her but that's it, somebody doesn't hate waffles when they like pancakes and Silco isn't a good father figure for loving his child.
And if anything this loves he has for Jinx only isolates her.
Jinx didn't had anybody but Silco before Silco's death.
Her relationship with Ekko was the equivalent of a crater left by a meteor strike.
Sevika and the rest of Silco's goons/allies just saw her as a problem, a mess who will sooner or later kill them or kill herself.
And outside of them it doesn't seem like anybody else in Zaun cared much about her before the attacks on piltover.
Silco is the only one who actually talks to her, and he only ever tells her that she is "perfect". Good to know that you love your child buddy but your child is literally having hallucinations every three scenes where she even talks to her death brothers, has careless behavior for her own and others safety to the point where it almost looks like she's eargerly making the chances of her dying higher, and just generally seems like she has given up on everything but you.
Individuals who suffer through mental illness need help, literally any kind, wether it is a person just helping us with tasks that might be difficult for us or a psychologist (any mental health professional tbh) that assist us in our way to be more healthy and not harm ourselfs or others.
Letting your daughter fall deeper and deeper into a pit where she's literally treating one of her wounds with staples and looking at a shattered mirror while in crisis is not help.
Grooming a child so they can become a goon for a drug lord is not an act that reflects paternal qualities.
And treating Jinx's character as if she was the one who dragged herself in the pit while constantly praising her abuser is not a display of intellectual abilities. The way this fandom is so blatantly ableist when it comes to Jinx should be studied, before we saw AU Jinx almost everyone and their moms was convinced she would've ended similarly all because everyone turned a blind eye to the man behind all of her problems to the man that named her Jinx. Or worse they blamed Vi another child.
All to protect the fragile perception of the ideal father.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
I started this drawing not expecting much, but I’m genuinely so proud of how it came out 🥹
Heres a viktor drawing i was trying to do a s t u dy on arcane's artstyle lowkey failed i think??? Idk. But viktor's gr8.
I have no idea how to explain but Melvik as a ship *feels* just as gay as Jayvik. This might just be me, but Melvik isn't straight, it's just a ship between the sun and the moon that excludes a caveman himbo-hobo.
Meljay is 10x straighter than Melvik, yet both are technically straight.
Also Melvik should be remained to Eclipse because they're absolutely divine and celestial like the sun and the moon.
He
maybe i should put golf balls in my pockets so i can hurl them at drivers who feel like theyre brave for taking the left turn while there's pedestrians crossing.

Arcane Fandom Pet Peeve:
(I mean I know why latines do it but anyone else? STAWWWPPPP)
If she were a stereotypical Mexican mother, she wouldn't have let Jayce's disrespectful behavior slide ESPECIALLY since he barely reacted to getting expelled and focused more on what she did to PROTECT him!!!! Anyway—
He is so strict with having good health he will make sure to brush his teeth twice a night, floss, sleep (as best he can), eat nutritious food on a regular basis (again, as best he can), etc etc to the point where you can look into books about good life habits and it's literally just him
Though he tries to do things the proper way, he doesn't actually like hanging out with others outside of work (or even during work) and finds it hard to have friendly facial expressions. This, of course, makes him seem ruder than he actually is. Man rarely smiles (nobody knows if he even can smile) and hardly interacts much less talks to others unless they do so first. Even then, he'll make those interactions brief because people usually try to strike up a conversation while Steb and them are supposed to be focused on their work. If it's during their break then. . . yeah lol they'll still be curt interactions
He prefers being on his own, but he tries not to isolate himself because he knows it's important to be around people and socialize (even if he doesn't want to). Part of the reason he doesn't like socializing with others is because he is such a stickler for having certain behaviors and most others either don't or they are too up-tight for his liking. Just because he likes to do things the proper way doesn't mean he wants to socialize with snobby people that claim to be "proper". It makes him feel like he's at work interacting with superiors and in those cases he'd rather be alone than interact with people like that.
You can pry instructional materials out of his cold dead hands—whether it's cooking instructions, assembly instructions, procedures, etc etc he will follow them to the T. He will use those instructions that come with furniture. He's not the type of man to think it's a hit to his ego if he looks at instructions and in fact judges those who do.
Speaking of cooking, he's a mediocre cook. He would be worse, but following instructions helps him not be so bad. The food is good enough to eat and live off of, but it doesn't have enough oomph because his need to stick to cooking instructions can only go so far in making good food and he lacks natural cooking talent. Since he lives alone and he doesn't mind the mediocrity of the food, he doesn't make a great effort to be better. He'll get better with time, but it's not by much unless he gets a romantic partner or someone else who would possibly rely on his cooking skills. (He'll never be a chef though)
He will review training procedures on a regular basis and does his best to learn from each mistake he makes. Each year he has to do mandatory re-training, he makes sure to take it seriously and doesn't assume that he already knows his stuff. In his mind, the annual training is mandatory for a reason (which is true).
Surprisingly tolerant. He'll judge you over your bad habits, but he does his best to have an even temper. It will take a LOT before he loses his temper and when he does he ends up scolding himself over it. Losing your temper, in his opinion, is never a good thing as intense emotions can lead to irrational decisions/actions you may regret later.
Adding on to the previous bullet point, he refuses to lose his cool or raise to the bait when interacting with criminals/delinquents. It's a part of enforcer training that you have to keep a cool head and deescalate a situation as best you can before resorting to violence and threats. As a medic, he knows the importance of keeping your cool in dangerous/intense situations and, as an enforcer, why one needs to make quick observations without bias. Different law breakers will react differently and require different de-escalation methods which is why—
He gets annoyed being paired with someone who thinks being an enforcer means they can do no wrong compared to a criminal and have power trips over capturing a rowdy individual. Not only is it improper police conduct to not properly attempt to deescalate a situation, but it can cause unnecessary harm with an officer escalating a situation to the point of shooting a criminal or a criminal lashing out violently.
Despite others clowning on him for it, he will treat criminals with dignity and refuses to manhandle the criminal no matter how annoying/frustrating the criminal is. This mindset of his came about from hostage training and the motivations behind someone taking a person or group of people hostage. Law breakers may not be the best people, but they're people too and there are reasons why some (nearly all, if not all) people resort to crime. That and he never personally liked to use his power to hurt people—he's a medic after all.
He believes that the duty of an enforcer is to, yes, enforce the law, but also to protect the people. His desire to protect others comes first before anything. He doesn't like to cause harm which is why his main form of weapon is tonfas/batons. He knows how to use more violent weapons, but he'll rarely actually have those weapons on a day to day basis. While others during training were excited to use guns, he wasn't and only focused on the learning aspect of it.
In his trainee days, he was considered a bit annoying for always wanting to get things done the right way and trying to correct the mistakes of others. He did so only to help them (and because he didn't want morons to be in the police force), but there weren't many people who shared his dedication to do things by the book. Nowadays, he won't necessarily correct other's mistakes unless they are under his wing or the mistakes they made were serious.
Throughout his entire career, he is infamous for being a strict rule book follower and it disappoints him that others are so lax while on duty. He's disgusted/annoyed by those who aren't at attention while on guard duty because it only takes a moment of distraction for something horrible to happen.
I could get Steb to hesitantly shake his fish booty to reggeaton

Okay yeah call me a slur
CaitVi fans wonder why people hate them and their ship then they do shit like this
Fuck cops. Fuck copaganda. Fuck Caitlyn.
I hate the CaitVi Sex scene
Everytime I see someone thirsting after the scene and gushing about how it's so hot, I feel so disgusted and ticked cause of how the scene came about and where it's located.
"She saved your life!"
"If you will just calm down for on-"
Sidenote:
That's also another scene I don't find hot at all. Any time I see it, I can't focus on how attractive Sevika is when she's smug (even though she totes is). All I can focus on is how Caitlyn bit Sevika. I don't remember who pointed it out, if it was on Tumblr or TikTok which I have promptly deleted since the ban, but someone pointed out that Caitlyn is fighting dirty—like a Zaunite. Caitlyn was backed into a corner, so she fought like an animal.
Fuck her.
I guess now she can somewhat understand why Zaunites fight the way they do. When you're backed into a corner, feeling helpless, feeling desperate, you fight like it and she did the same exact same thing she judged them for.
Bastard.
Lol can you tell I'm feeling bitter over her character?
Back to OG rant
"—since you don't trust her enough not to shove her in a box."
"Cait, she's changed."
"We can't erase our mistakes. None of us."
"Who decides who gets a second chance?"
Now, let's get to the scene itself!
Sidenote:
Someone please remind me to draw that.
"I choose wrong every time—and because of it. . . I've lost everyone."
"Did you really think I needed all the guards at the HexGates?"
"Sorry to say, you've grown a bit predictable."
"Listen! While you were gone, I. . . Saw someone."
(If it was me, I'd eat Vi out, but, again, that's neither here nor there. . . She's not even in my top favs. I just want the best for her cause I hate Caitlyn lol.)
"I'm feeling fantastic."
FUCK YOUUUU
Not gonna reblog their post *cough* unlike this fuckass *cough* cause whatever, have ur opinion ig but I hate Cait/CaitVi stans—honestly, I hate everyone who can't let others have opinions without personally attacking them for it—butttt
I hate CaitVi stans sm
"frothing at their mouth"
"over lesbians making love 'impurely'"
Omg so cute Vi can't read so Caitlyn reads for her 🥰🥰 Omg Vi is Caitlyn's mutt haha Caitlyn is so sophisticated and smart and Vi is a dirty street rat who can barely read 😍😍 people are so stupid the council didn't deserve what happened to them because they were just now starting to get things done (and only to instantly switch and want to start a war because of what ONE Zaunite did) 🤬🤬 Caitlyn is a good person—everything she did was justified 100%!1!!1!1
Okay guys,,, this isn't funny. . .
Where's my sugar daddy?
Where's some random sexy stranger trying to save this pretty pink princess??
I'm not made to do homework by myself with no friend sitting beside me also confused and needing help 😫😫
"If you have any questions, don't hesitate to speak up"
I'm hesitating omg I feel dumb but it's literally just me not working on it for more than a few hours with multiple distractions and breaks ugh
I feel a bit better that some other girl was struggling tho like lol I feel you girl thank god for you saying that you'll have to get a tutor cause me too 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Anyway gotta really pay attention to my zoom class rn but I don't think I'm even gonna bother cause I'll probs have to go back anyway cause I know nothing of how to do this engineering shit but I refuse to drop out cause I don't want to let the haters win
I cannot function and go about my day to day life
why must I go to college? why must I go to work? why can't I be the malewife of an eccentric billionaire who loves me strangely but it's ok cause he's rich and hot and I'm the only one who can put up with it?
I WANT TO JUST DRAW STEB, THINK ABOUT STEB, DREAM OF STEB, EAT STEB WITHOUT FEELING ANY GUILT OR BEING HELD BACK BY RESPONSIBILITIES—-------
My beloved <333
(until I find a new man to obsess over)
can someone please give me the worst arcane takes they’ve seen from tiktok/twitter?
ive been told numerous times that both of those sites have the most diabolical interpretations known to man, and im seriously curious on how bad it actually is
