Here's the inevitable part 2 of the God of War Ragnarok x Arcane crack AU I had y'all 👍👍

These ideas obliterated me out of nowhere so I definitely went wild with them this time. I fleshed out more of the girls' origins and the drama with Silco who's on a spree for revenge on Vander.

Silco saves little Powder from a pack of monsters and she tries to give him a reason not to finish his quest for vengeance.

Unfortunately, their relationship isn't enough because Silco doesn't believe he can be saved. He uses his mind control power to manipulate Vi's anger + Spartan Rage against herself and Vander. Even so, Powder can't bring herself to kill him after seeing he's not entirely the monster they say he is.

The fight ends with Powder alone with Silco and scarred from the chains of Vi's blades of chaos. And of course Silco banishes Vi into another realm and assumes she would die from her injuries.

(Vander may or may not get revived and come back later stuck in his beast form bc this AU is tragic enough 😭)

I'll leave the rest to interpretation but this was a blast to draw! The Norse mythology theme is still my favorite and drawing the fight scenes and family stuff was the best part.^^

I compiled a bunch of my old cute and happy family art here in order to emotionally recover from season 2's ultra traumatic ending 👍

They're still together and happy I promise y'all 🙈🙈🙈

Currently working on a part 2 now, I wasn't expecting this to blow up so much lmao. I'm living for the Zaundad family angst rn 🔥

Here's some sketches of a random crack Arcane x God of War + Ragnarok AU bc of these ideas-- (Also bc the Norse mythology style is absolutely awesome 👀)

I couldn't resist imagining what little Vi & Pow would look like as mini gods with their adult tattoos like Atreus. Also me being delusional imagining Warwick protecting them as part of Vander's shape shifting ability--

Also headcanon that Odin/Silco has mind control powers, hence Vi and Powder vs Warwick rip. He tears their family apart even in this AU 🫠

+ Jinx gaining Baldur-like abilities through becoming Silco's daughter

I played Life is Strange 9 years late and took inspiration from all the amazing fanart I found. There was lots of symbolism and stories told through the art, so of course I couldn't resist trying it out with arcane. Especially with all the s2 trailers being dropped recently 👀👀

I hope it explores more of the imposter syndrome and codependency between Jinx and Vi. And also shows them breaking it and growing into stronger versions of themselves.

So far the teasers definitely dive into the tragedy of trauma, which I made sure not to sugarcoat here bc it resonates with me so much ❤️‍🩹

There's always a light at the end of the tunnel, so I hope the show emphasizes that when it comes out in November. Even if it's painful and devastating as well, which I completely expect 🙏

I think when people hear “Vi’s underrated in her own show.” They immediately think absolutely not, she all the fandom talks about.

But here’s the thing, I feel like 90% of the arcane fandom only talk about Vi’s attractiveness. Never her backstory, what she’s gone through, what she might go through in season 2. Even in the new trailer of pit fighter Vi it’s just people saying she’s hot.

VI’s been through a lot though, her parents died too, she always felt like had to protect Powder, Claggor, and Milo, and she failed to protect her brothers, and she had to see Vander die to save her. Then to learned the whole explosion that caused them to die was Powder. She was rightfully angry at Powder and regretted hitting her, she tried to go back for her but Marcus put her in prison before she could. Then after years in prison, having to feel the guilt of not protecting her family, she gets out. Just to learn that her little sister is working for the man who captured Vander, and Powder(now Jinx) is like Silco’s daughter, and is a completely different person. And she obviously feels torn between helping innocent people from her little sister, or sticking with her little sister.

I'm bringing back this random crack genderbend idea from 2 years ago bc I can 👏👏

I love to see how much the Zaundads/moms parallel their daughters/sons like this lmao. It's also cool and cursed to imagine the story being focused on brotherhood more instead of sisters.

I also got inspired by other design ideas I found, so of course I couldn't resist drawing my own 👀✍️

I mainly had fun imagining the slightly different designs and how Vi would turn into the most basic ass male character ever 😭 (still a badass softie by heart though) + Jinx proceeds to completely obliterate male gender norms 👍
