Maybe Arcane Was The Friends We Made Along The Way

Pinned post!!

This is a sideblog! If you get likes/followed by @wizardemail & are put off by a blank blog - don’t worry, that’s me <3

Message me if you want my discord, I’ll probably just give you the link to a couple arcane servers I’m active in.

ao3 -> ongoing fic is currently What They Took From Us, a mid-S2 canon diversion where the black rose dropped Mel off in Jinx’s hideout after the events of the Oculorum.

Askbox is always open! I take requests if you want to hear my thoughts on a specific character or ship etc

I haven't figured out what to write in the speech bubbles, so I suggest you come up with something they can argue about 🤧

(Oh, yes, a little interactive)

Thinking about meljay again and how great it is.

Mel's life is so messed up. She's sooo messed up. She's made to feel weak and inadequate for not being able to kill in cold blood at the age of 15. Her father is killed in front of her. She convinced her cousin, who she is friends with, to help Ambessa in her succession battle instead of running away somewhere safe, and then Ambessa kills her cousin! For no good reason other than "she might become an enemy in the future". And THEN Mel is exiled, to her understanding, for being upset about it and making friends with her cousin in the first place! She thinks her worth to her family is based on her ability extend its influence.

And then in Piltover she meets this man. This boy. Who's idealistic and full of potential. And she gets him wrapped around her finger. But then he looks at her with so much love and admiration. He shares his idealism with her. He makes her feel like she can give back to the the world. He treats her like she's full of love too. And she is! And she loves him so much!

And she lets that love guide her! She stops caring about what her mother thinks and decides to protect Jayce and his dreams instead, to try to keep him untouched as much as possible by the war and violence that she's had to live with her whole life. But of course she can't do that.

They are just so beautiful together and I love them.

We talk about Meljay or Mel in general trying to pursue Viktor/Jayvik in the meljayvik dynamic, but science proteges Jayce and Viktor collaborating and calculating the best possible way to ask Mel out is so cute to me, their collective yearning would be so powerful and in the end they'd put together a fifteen minute presentation on why she should date them with all this data that they've gathered and she's sitting through it stone faced and attentive meanwhile in her head she's like omg these guys are dorks... I have to marry them NOW

✦ 🎁 MELJAY GIFT EXCHANGE ⸻ IN SERVER EVENT

Our first creative event invites server members to create fanworks for each other in our very first in-server gift exchange. Our goal is to foster and deepen a sense of community within our server—and gift each other wonderful works while we're at it!

How is bnha anime of the decade...... they aren’t even anime of the hour of the minute of the second

The notes on this post were so toxic that staff just axed em

1969.........

Yes, when the original post is deleted from the server (not just the blog, but the Tumblr servers), there is no root post for notes to be added onto, and also no root post for time to be counted from, so it starts from zero. Most computer operating systems use Unix, which was launched in 1971 with the epoch date of midnight on January 1, 1970 as 1. Therefore zero is one second behind that date: December 31, 1969. Also, very unfortunately, this also means nobody except you and anyone you reblog it to will see this explanation, as you cannot open the notes to see comments when there are no notes.

The arcane fandom’s tendency to refer to ships like an identity wild to me. Like I’ve seen similar things elsewhere but it’s literally SO widespread here

“jayviks” “meljays” WHAT are we talking about

i blame @venomwrites for the meljay fever after that chapter

it's always funny when people are like 'i can't like caitlyn she's rich and a fascist' bc a: not what fascism is and b: she's selfish sure and privileged absolutely and certainly toxic/kind of manipulative but so are most of the main character counterpoints who have romantic or quasi-romantic attachments but c: most importantly i would still like her even if she were the worst version of all those things cersei lannister is one of my favorite characters in mainstream fiction caitlyn doesn't even scratch the surface of authoritarian cruel women. if anything my main complaint is that she wasn't worse for longer
