Presence. Viktor x Sapphire (Arcane OC) blurb below the image!

Her presence wrapped around him before her body did, a current of warmth and understanding that seeped into his soul. Cloying and refreshing all at once, her essence never sought to overwhelm him, only to anchor, grounding the chaos in his mind while fanning the flame of their shared connection.

Her thoughts no longer vied to replace his but wove seamlessly into the fabric of his consciousness, a delicate symbiosis of two minds moving as one. When her chest pressed to his back, the quiet rhythm of her heart syncing with his, until he couldn’t say if he hears one heart or two at once. Her need blanketed him with delightful heaviness, making him pliant, giving him the opportunity to lean back into her, to surrender, in a way.

His senses parsed her chemistry instinctively, with reverence of a lover. Every molecule was a hymn to their bond, a hymn that spoke of trust deeper than words, a love built on the unshakable foundation of shared understanding. She was the only one who could dismantle him so completely and rebuild him stronger in the same breath.

Her giggle bubbled up in his own throat, light and unrestrained, a sound so rare it startled him into opening his eyes. The echo of her laugh ringed in his mind, while her lips stayed closed and her joy spilled into him like sparkling wine trough the intricate wires connecting their consciousness. He turned his head, catching her mischievous smile.

“Something amuses you, Sapphire?” he asked, though he didn’t need an answer. Yet, he asked anyway, because hearing her voice was a pleasure he would never take for granted.

She laughed then, actually laughed. A soft, velvety sound that vibrated against his skin as her hands slid up his chest. “Something… someone…” she murmured, her voice a whisper that settled over him like silk. Maybe a little deeper than remembered, like she grew more confident in her own body.

Her hands slowly slide up his body, hard planes of his hexed flesh throb beneath each caress and Viktor lets out a short sigh, just as Sapphire hums in appreciation in the space between his uncovered shoulder blades.

She chuckled again and Viktor felt the corners of his lips tilt upward.

He stopped her hand, intertwining their fingers and lifting them into the light filtering through the greenhouse glass. The interplay of shadow and glow caught the metallic threads in his hexed flesh and reflected in the delicate human softness of hers. Their bond was there, palpable in every shared glance, every unspoken thought. Her consciousness brushed against his, tentative but present, giving him a taste of her emotions, her unwavering trust, her unspoken devotion.

“You’re cataloging scents again,” she teased, her voice carrying the gentle lilt of her amusement. “A brilliant mind that refuses to rest even for something so trivial...”

“Scent? Trivial?” Viktor’s voice dipped into incredulous disbelief, though there was a faint curve of amusement to his words. “You do realize how much information a single molecule carries? How it can tell a story, mark a moment, or even warn of danger?”

Sapphire’s smile widened, and she tilted her head to nuzzle into the nape of his neck, lips grazing metal etched into the spines. Her voice a low, teasing whisper. “I realize you’re the only one who could turn my perfume into a philosophical debate.”

Her breath ghosted over his skin, pulling a quiet hum from deep in his chest. “Hardly philosophical. Perfume, as you call it, is merely a layered compound, designed to—”

She cut him off with a playful squeeze of his hand. “—to distract and delight. You love it because it reminds you of me, not because of the molecular structure.”

He paused, turning his head just enough to catch the edge of her grin. Her words disarmed him, as they always did, wrapping him in that strange, contradictory comfort she embodied. She was his chaos and his clarity, and it left him feeling both unbalanced and utterly centered.

“I…” His voice softened, hesitant but honest. “I love it because it’s you.”

For a moment, the light filtering through the greenhouse caught in her hair, turning the strands into threads of liquid amber. Her smile softened, the teasing glint in her eyes giving way to something quieter, something far more dangerous to his carefully guarded heart.

“You see?” she whispered, leaning forward until her lips touched the sensitive skin of his neck again. “Even you can admit it. You’re not as logical as you like to think of yourself, Viktor.”

“Mm,” he murmured, his lips quirking again, this time with a hint of self-deprecation. “And you’re not as gentle as you pretend, Sapphire.”

For a long moment, they stayed there, quiet in the haze of the greenhouse, her warmth sinking into his back, his pulse slowing to match hers. Viktor finally broke the silence, his voice a whisper meant only for her.

“It is a lot of power to hold over someone. I wouldn’t want to abuse it.”

Sapphire smiled into his skin. “You can have it.”

Finally done

I'm curious why you don't post your Arcane OC on Twitter?

I’m scared shitless. Plain and simple lol 😅

Below is probably absolutely nonsensical, delusional thinking that has nothing to do with reality (the Twitter part), but it’s the way my mind works:

People on Tumblr are the most accepting ones that I know, fandoms on this platform are what they should be - a place of borderless creativity.

While Arcane fandom itself is quite healthy, Twitter is definitely not and basically I’m scared of diehard headcanoners of gay Viktor to come for my soul and crucify me.

It’s very cowardly of me and might never become a reality and I know I shouldn’t care that much, but I had enough of that experience with spiderverse fandom and I don’t want to put myself even in slightest ‘danger’ 🫠

HII I just wanted to pop in and say I LOVE ur art artstyle and your oc pairing. like I can't even begin to describe the art for them both but I just love it and I can't wait to see more of the lore (especially their relationship.) I wanted to ask if its okay if I could do fanart of your oc sapphire x viktor or like a small spread if that's okay? I'll 100% credit you in the post as the originator! Regardless, still respect ur work and as an artist ofc take care of yourself.

THAT MEAN SO MUCH THANK YOU OH MY GOD!!!

Gonna cry over here, don’t mind me, but yes! Yes sure it’s okay, and I’m in general always will be positive about any content my creations inspired people to make! I absolutely adore the creative cycle it produces, it’s the best feeling in the world to know that you have someone so much energy they wanted to do something with it and ofc my little heart melts if it’s specifically about my character 🥹

I plan so much more with Viktor and Sapphire, I enjoy exploring every period of their relationship, since it’s so different in each season but is still reverent nonetheless aaaah need to structure my endless yapping to keep posting 😁

[aspidisnothere]

MY OC X CANON'S NAME IS SAPPHIRE TOO AND I ALSO SHIP HER WITH VIKTOR OMG!! OC TWINS do you call them saphvik too?

OH MY GOOOD THATS SO COOL WHAT!! My friend actually called them that the first time when they wrote a small fic for them (after I sent them I think 7 screenshots of lore oh my lord), which I’m still absolutely insane about haha. It didn’t occur to me that they can be called that before they sent me the file 😄

[aspidisnothere]

Viktor with updo should be illegal

Jayce Winner of the Pathetic Yearning Competition Talis

[aspidisnothere]

I bet in the universe where Jayce sees Viktor as he is instead of Salo, everything goes fucking wrong because he won’t be able to shoot him

[aspidisnothere]

Glorious ovulation or whatever he said

Hi omg, I just discovered you and I LOOOVVEEE your art so much!! Could you draw Sapphire and Viktor in their “final” forms? Arcane ending got me crying😭

Yaaaa, here it is! Finally finished Machine Herald x Machine Maiden (Arcane OC, Sapphire)!

Thank you so much!! And I genuinely loved the ending, since I believe Viktor and Jayce didn’t die and teleported god knows where + Mel’s ending was both satisfying and sad. (I was rooting mostly for Jayce, Viktor and Mel, so I’m out of the debate about badly or not written Vi and Jinx endings lol)

Lore below the picture!

It's been a huuuge inner debate whether to make her white or grey. After discussing with friends, we concluded that while white feels more fitting for her character-given her role as his follower and her life's dominant colors of white and gold-grey also holds merit. According to her shared lore with Viktor, his agreement to undergo transformation was conditional on Ambessa's promise to place Sapphire by his side.

His refusal to ever be separated from her again led to a unique intertwining of their essences during the process, causing her body to adapt and absorb dual influences.

Take note of this detail: her exposed gold part are her literal bones, shattered and forced outward through her muscles.

Previously, I mentioned that Sapphire suffered from a genetic disease that caused her internal organs to rot. She survived thanks to runes etched into her bones at an early age, designed to suppress the disease. These runes kept her alive—until she agreed to live and work in Demacia, where her condition began to deteriorate.

During the transformation, the hexcore interacted with her runes in an explosive reaction. The hexcore's energy magnetized the runes embedded in her bones, violently pulling them out through her flesh and skin, reshaping her body in the process.

Tagging @renn-pumkin-head since they asked 😁

Machine Herald x Machine Maiden (Arcane OC) WIP

I’ve been asked to draw Sapphire and Viktor in their final forms, and the timing couldn’t be more perfect!!! With Act 3 now released, I was finally able to finalize Sapphire’s story. She evolves into something similar to Viktor—though not exactly the same. I’ll share all the details once I post the final piece haha

[aspidisnothere]

How do I stop feeling like this about OC x Canon I can’t get any shit done without zoning out

[aspidisnothere]

Viktor x Sapphire (Arcane OC)

Sometimes, Viktor uses Sapphire as background noise while studying, treating her chatter like white noise to help him focus. They used to study the same faculty, so he could follow along with her ramblings, but after she switched to restorative craft, he’s often clueless about what she’s talking about. Occasionally, a chemistry note or concept might sound familiar, but the details are way over his head. Sapphire knows this and doesn’t mind—she gets to talk freely, often coming up with new ideas just by voicing her thoughts. Every now and then, Viktor will look up and fixate on her, but even then, it’s clear her words aren’t really sinking in.

[aspidisnothere]

Viktor x Sapphire (Arcane OC)

Here some WIP while I’m putting together her story and doing little sketches to accompany it. Waiting for act 3 though to finish the Machine Herald arc too 🫠 if you want you can read small introduction here
