ITS SO CRISP!!! I want the art book so baddddddd 🥺

Digital Artbook was released in Japan so I found some HD Silco concepts on twitter and upscaled them to an even higher quality

crack-ass edit, shitty quality but I swear to god, it looked better in my head + plus, it took way too long to make, so here we go

(also, I forgot that tumblr only lets you upload 10 pics in one post, so I had to merge some of them rip)

anyways, taylor wrote the tortured poets department about them, prove me wrong

born to be a dilf power couple, forced to be mortal enemies

teehee, that one hurt to make :-)

I just love the fact in arcane vander even attempts to kill silco and he's like 'I'm gonna make it my life mission to kill u and everyone u love for the lols' and then jinx actually kills him and he's like 'u are exceptional'

AND PEOPLE STILL SAY THE MAN DIDNT LOVE HER-

Arcane Characters as SoC Quotes (Part 2)

Some time ago I have stumbled upon a post asking someone to draw Silco and Vander like this:

I cannot find the original poster I also think it was a screenshot from twitter that I found on pinterest. Nonetheless I have made a promise to myself that if I manage to pass the semester I will draw them, so here is my attempt, enjoy I guess?

Seeing as Jinx got two disc covers in the jukebox, Ekko and Vi got one each I have decided to commit some for Silco and Vander. Here you go, I may add colour to them later but for now this is it.

And yes I know the song for the divorced ones is realy named "Goodbye" but that's lame title and the line "Oh my enemy" always grabs me right by the heart and yanks like nobody's buisness so I changed it. And it looks better imo

Sooo I read this and was like, one day when I will have both time AND animation skills I will animate it. HOWEVER my brain couldn't let it go so here is my quick version in drwaing for now. Enjoy I guess?

Zaundad's story, but it's Mamma Mia songs:

1. Voulez-Vous - Vander and Silco meet. Vander thinks it'll be something serious, Silco only wants the sex.

2. Why Did It Have to Be Me? - after actually a series of ONS, Vander starts to catch some feelings. Silco notices and tries to end their hooking-up. Vander has some objections.

3. The Name of the Game - Silco fights with his growing affecting towards Vander.

4. Andante, Andante - Silco slowly opening up to Vander

5. Waterloo, Lay All Your Love on Me - a full romance, completely insufferably in love, Golden Age

6. Knowing Me, Knowing You - right after the Pilt

7. Mamma Mia - Silco seeing Vander for the first time since the Pilt (after Vi's death and when Vander joins the fight for Zaun again)

8. SOS - Silco and Vander try to work together during the Revolution

9. The Winner Takes It All - breaking point. They feel like there's no fixing what they lost

10. When All Is Said and Done - some time after Zaun wins its independence and starts to prosper fully, Silco and Vander meet again and realise that it's never too late to start all over again.

+ BONUS

11. Dancing Queen as Silco’s theme

I have read many fics now that have stated Vander didn't have a beard while he knew Silco and I am here to state that it's wrong. I'm 100% sure he did aaaaand I can prove it!

(Just so its clear in my head they are/were a couple and not just friends but this works regardles of their relationship)

So... in S1E1 in the very first scene sequence we get to see Vander during the bridge massacre. He has a beard in that scene.

Later during Silco's flashbacks there are few frames where we can see Vander in the river as they fight, in those few frames Vander clearly has no beard. These I presume are the reason some people think Vander didn't have facial hair when he was with Silco.

In season two when we get to see Vander's flashbacks there is a scene on the bridge, where Silco (without eye trauma) is shown standing shocked above Felicia's and Connor's bodies presumably staring right at Vander.

Now, my brain supplies that Vander and Silco went to that bridge together so Silco must have known Vander with a beard. But it also supplies that since in the attempted drowning scene Vander is without it there must have been time. And that my dear people is heartbreaking.

For I think that after that massacre Vander and Silco did meet back at the Drop, I think Vander shaved and changed his clothes so he could go back on that bridge without being recognised as one of the fighters. I don't know if Silco did too but with the way his hair looked in Vander memories I think he might have cut it as in the river scene he has it shorter. I think they went out there, risking their lives so they could take Felicia's and Connol bodies and send them off in the river.

(I also think it makes sense that Zaun's traditional way of "burial" would be sending the body out to the sea as Jinx did with Silco in season two as there is simply no space for dead to stay in Zaun without piling up uncontrollably.)

So I believe they have done that, and after preforming funeral for their friends they started fighting. The emotions must have been sooo high. And I think it's more believable that right after Vander's reaction to Silco would be relief that he's alive even if he did blame Silco for the outcome. So I think they stood in that river together with weight of all this suffering settling on their shoulders and I think it was too mutch for them to bear. And so a fight - attempted drowning - all that follows.

But you know it could have just been an animation mistake.

The Hound's Gone Feral

The Hound, after everything, has found himself back in time. He does not know how, and he does not particularly care. All he knows is that he will protect his pups this time, no matter the cost. Vander has time-traveled. Except he's not really sure he's Vander anymore. He's been Warwick for a long time now, and after that, he was part of a hivemind. He's not even close to the man he used to be, and he isn't sure what to do now that he's back to the time when he was still human. But then he sees his pups, his kids, and he knows that nothing else matters. But if he's going to protect them, then he's going to have to take care of the Silco problem. He isn't sure if the man is friend or foe, pack or prey, and so he sets about finding out.

This Vander is feral in a way that nobody is used to. Or, at least, nobody but Silco, who believes that Vander had gone soft. He finds out pretty quickly that Vander is more feral than ever before. Vader has Sevika tell Silco he wants to talk alone, which was a shock by itself since Vander shouldn't have known she was working for him. Silco comes long after the sun has set and the kids are in bed, not actually alone since he decided to bring Sevika with him. But that's fine with the Hound because he knows Sevika is good with his pups when she wants to be. Silco tries to go into the conversation with his silver tongue, but Vander is blunt and honest with him. He tells him that he's been changed, tells him he isn't sure how to see him. Silco tries to scoff and needle and provoke a reaction, but the Hound just watches.

In the end Silco finds the push he was looking for, the kids, and gets a reaction out of Vander. Vander has his hands on Silco almost before he's finished speaking, surprisingly gentle as he pins him against the wall. Silco acts like he's won, gloats about Vander's savage nature, but instead of flinching away Vander leans in closer and *admits that he's worse than ever.* Now Silco's starting to understand, with Vander growing into his neck, that the man pinning him down is far from soft. He starts to panic and struggle, making the Hound chuckle. "Regardless of if you are Pack or Prey, you will not harm the pups." Silco foolishly decided to push his luck, "And if I do?" Vander growled deeper than it should be possible for a human. "Then you will wish you had drowned."

And then Vander lets him go, lets him gasp for air, lets him run off trying to act like he wasn't completely terrified. But Silco knows that Vander has changed, that he isn't soft, and that's enough to change his plans. He also has to bury the part of him that wants to be a part of the Hound's pack, wants to be protected by Vander's bulk once more. Silco realizes that Vander holds seemingly no remorse for what he's done and is willing to do it again. This strokes his anger into yelling, which Vander shuts up by biting him hard enough to draw blood. The Hound is testing to see if Silco's blood will entice him to hunt, but Silco feels the punishment and the claim of the marking. Vander declares him not prey and lays him down in a booth to get the first aid kit and some water. Silco reacts when Vander grabs him to treat the wound and Vander growls back, enforcing the dynamic some more. Some more conversation.

After a few days and then a few meet ups with no violence from Silco, the Hound assumes that Silco has chosen Pack. Which means he starts trying to make sure the man has ate and drank and slept and is otherwise protected since he doesn't sleep in the den with the rest of them. He's been doing the same with Benzo and Ekko, but they take it much better than Silco does. Sevika is mostly amused by this point, and takes the occasional glass of water shoved her way with a nod.

Eventually, they get into an argument about something or another, and Vander threatens to punish Silco. Silco laughs, but then Vander handcuffs him to the chair and plops Powder in his lap with instructions to tell him about her inventions. Powder kind of shrugs and goes with it, and while Silco is definitely feeling the punishment in the beginning, by the end, he's getting along pretty well with Powder and actually helping her with her bombs. The Hound is smug.

The second the Hound and Dr. Corin Reveck are in the same room it is a blood bath. Silco is introducing them for one reason or another, and then Vander is on top of Reveck pounding his skull in. Corin struggles, and manages to get a few wounds in, but he is quickly and brutally overwhelmed by a panicking raging Hound. Silco is in shock and also fairly terrified, especially when Vander rounds on him, but Vander just holds him close and mutters some curses at Reveck's dead body before insisting he is shown his laboratory. Not wanting to get hurt by trying to say no, Silco brings him and watches as the Hound tears the lab apart. He knows very little of what is going on, but he knows from the few words Vader spoke to Reveck that the scientist had been involved in whatever it was that changed him. Silco doesn't think that Vander has taken shimmer, but Reveck did something to him, and so he's not that upset at the man's death. More so the destruction of his plans and a whole lot of shimmer. The only thing Vander handles with any care is Rio, who he puts out of her misery as gently as he can.

Sheriff Grayson meets with the Hound, and is very unnerved by him. Not to mention not very pleased about the hard changes they will have to make. The Hound isn't afraid to threaten, to state facts that double as threats, to drop Grayson's own death into the conversation.
