I don’t know if any of you will remember the bottom piece, but I finally finished this Alex Stern fanart and I’m quite happy with it so, here goes nothing!

hi! first off, LOVE your art style :) and also loving how you did fem jayvik in particular!!

bit of an odd question sorry, but for context: i've been working on writing a fem jayvik daemon au for a little bit and was browsing tumblr a bit ago and came across your designs for them and like. they IMMEDIATELY spoke to me more than most of the other fem designs for them i've seen with regards to what i've been kind of vaguely picturing in my head for them in the fic haha. would you be okay if i used your designs for them as like. the basis for my descriptions for them in the fic itself? if not no sweat at all :) hopefully this makes sense LMAO

Hi! Thank you so much for coming to me with this, I deeply appreciate it!

You’re free to imagine these ladies however you see fit, and if the art I drew fits your vision, then go ahead!

Credit is always appreciated, so if you were inclined to you could always add it to your author’s note :3

Also. This might be odd, but the only thing I feel iffy about being in a fic is the rune gem being a pendant. I don’t know if I have the words to express why but i’d appreciate it if that was left off of your descriptions 🫶

Thank you so much for checking with me first, best of luck with your writing!

hi! i saw on twitter that you’re not interacting anymore with arcane fandom on there and I completely understand and i’m sorry for what happened. i wanted to ask you if you’re gonna post on tumblr/instagram what you post on bluesky or not, because i don’t have the latter but I will do an account just to see your art because it’s amazing.

hey, sorry if you sent this a little while ago, I kind of lost track of tumblr (it happens periodically, oops!)!

Thank you for understanding! To be honest the state of the jayvik fandom as it is has completely soured me on creating any art or writing so I wouldn't hold any hope for more....... But yes, moving forward I think I'll keep instagram, tumblr and bluesky as my more active platforms because twitter has honestly become so hostile that I barely go there anymore!

And re: fanart, fandom behavior etc. As an artist who has been active in many online fandoms throughout the years , the only power I have left these days is to decide when I stop participating. So when I stop enjoying a fandom for a reason or another, then I stop creating art for it because it no longer brings me joy. Hope that clears things up!

do you have some idea when the zaino AU fic you’re writing will come out? i am obsessed!!

Hi! I'm not sure, I'm a very slow writer and since I also draw + work full time, it's probably going to take months. I will try to post updates and things if that's? interesting??? to keep you guys in the loop.

I'm also considering making a side tumblr just to chat writing and stuff but idk how interested people would be.......

I’m imagining baby zaunite Jayce with a leg injury angrily doing pull ups and getting ripped

Yes, YES. He breaks his leg when he's fifteen so you're completely correct in your headcanon in that he decides to use his growth spurt and recovery time lifting and working out as a way to deal with feeling so powerless. And then he basically never stops.

The reasoning behind that would be that no one will bully/ push around the biggest guy in the room, and by age 20 Jayce just wants to be left alone. (He spends most of his 20s alone in the shop so I guess he gets what he wants but he's profoundly lonely by the time him and Viktor meet. Positively STARVING for human connection)

did you see lol’s latest cinematic?? did you like the new characters designs?? i LOVED Katarina

I diiiid and I'm predictably very into Elise and Katarina's designs and vibes. Someone whispered to me that Katarina is not a girl kisser but as always that's not going to stop me from having beautiful headcanons 😌

Happy new year jayvik nation here’s zaunite jayce from my au wearing a little earring 🫶

[galaxyspeaking]

hii your writing seems really nice!! where could i read more of your arcane fanfic? :D

Hi!! My ao3 username is dualwelding so you can find what I’ve written so far over there! Hope you enjoy it ☺️

[galaxyspeaking]

love them being assholes to each other <3 jayce must still be a huge softy underneath though, right??

Oh yeah 100%! Tbh they won’t be at each other’s throats for long. They just both are huge loners who don’t really know how to communicate with people well. But Jayce is a softie at heart, just a bit gruff on the outside ☺️

[galaxyspeaking]

And apparently I am writing it 😳

a Zaunite jayvik au I’m thinking about writing…

hi just wanted you to know that all your jayvik art lives in a folder on my computer called "coping" so I can look at it when I'm reinjured by the plot

thank you for being a pillar of my mental health

sincerely, another completely normal person about jayvik

Oh my god nothing has made me happier. I've made it into the jayvik library of alexandria (let's hope that one doesn't burn).

Please use it to cope for as long as you need to op!!!

hey, might be a weird question, but how many hours per day do you usually draw? asking because I always have this nagging feeling I draw very little, but I also don't have a point of reference to say for sure 🥲

Oh gosh, to be honest... unless I'm hyper-fixating on something, I don't draw a whole lot. I don't know that i'm a good example. I've been drawing my entire life, but I've also been doing it for pay for the last 10 years and it permanently altered the way I feel about art.

I try to draw as little as I can outside of work (I work 40 hours a week so that's on average 8 hours of drawing per day but probably a little less when you take meetings into account).

Then when I feel like doing fanart I'll also take my own physical levels of exhaustion into account and see if I feel up to it. Sometimes I don't draw for months (outside of work)! Sometimes I draw 10 things in one weekend! My advice is: listen to your body and your mind. If you feel like drawing, draw. If you don't, try to not feel guilty about it. We can't be creative 24/7. We need time to cook, so to speak.

oh my god, the way you write us absolutely amazing. the amount of emotion you put into your work is insane, keep up the fantastic work!!

Thank you so much!!! I am a very emotional person (I think I feel more than I think, if that makes sense) so it's something I always hope comes across in my writing and art.

I'll keep!! doing my best!! at making people feel things!!
