#Those are my main ships but they're actually all in a polyam relationship and it's based

Guess who has a signed Heartsteel poster in their room? 🧡🩵💚💜❤️💛

Yep, I was definitely in Seoul for World's and got my poster signed by the boys and definitely wasn't in my bed in Ohio watching the show at 3AM.

For real though, I thought it'd be fun to print myself out a signed Heartsteel poster since all of their signatures are online.

Here's the poster! Sorry there's some pixels around their names, I didn't feel like trying to remove ALL of that. I hid some of it using their respective color's (which was a cooler idea than just black marker anyway). And uh you can say the extra white pixels reflect their glitchy hacker aesthetic or something.

Also I wanted to try and show all their personalities a bit. Sett covers himself up like a goof ball (would have done his face but wanted it to look good still). Aphelios' is just kinda there, basic, like his print signature, it's quick. Ezreal wants his name on him but not covering up too much of himself. Kayn is close by but not covering any of his beauty, ego too big. Yone's is sleek and neat. K'Sante's actually looks like a professional's in both placement and look.

Ok time to print!

Uh so, I ran out of ink. So that sucks. I have to wait 2 days to get some new ink so long wait for a hyperfixated mind. Actually writing this draft to keep me sane. Anyway, I'm also getting some glossy paper for the final too!

Anyway here it is on my wall! Yes it's shittly hung up with tape. It reminds me of the way I'd hang shit on my wall when I was younger, and their splash art reminds me of early 2000's boy bands.

I'll miss the era of Heartsteel. It's definitely my favorite thing League has done in awhile (maybe ever)! But luckily they gave us Hwei as compensation! Really excited to play him!

Bye now! 🩷

Q: Is Jim with Jane or Ariel? A: I can't decide, depending on the AU! Allow me to throw out this concept: Jim is a polyam relationship with both Jane AND Ariel and are all three in love

I've talked about it in this post, I assume that post was what made you send the ask?

I wouldn't say I didn't know what to "decide", it DOES depend on the AU 😁 All the AUs have differences, they're not all the same. Some characters' personalities varies, their story, their romantic partners, how they feel about their family, etc. I HAVE decided, I'm not "confused" or unsure who is Jim's main romantic partner, they just change depending on the AU 😊

In the college AU, Jane is Jim's professor in English literature, and that's how he meets her. She's his LI in that Hollina AU. Jim never has a crush on Lina in this AU.

In the high school AU, Jim has a crush on Lina, and while she's trying to figure out her sexuality and how she feels about Holli, they pretend they're dating. It's through Holli, that Jim meets Ariel, Holli's best friend's younger sister (Jessica). Jim pretending to be dating Lina, and crushing on her even though it's a lost cause, is a part of his character arc and his life story with Ariel.

In the high school spin-off though, Jim does pretend to be Lina's boyfriend for her sake, but doesn't actually have feelings for her. He's just being a nice dude, who knows what it feels to have to "hide" his love for not just one, but TWO GIRLS.

Yes, anon, your ask encouraged me to make this decision for this Hollina story 😁

I've always known that Jane was for the college AU and Ariel was for the high school AU, but I have been a bit unsure about the high school spin-off. It made more sense for that to be Ariel as well, because I didn't know how Jim would meet Jane since he's not in college, and she's his professor in the college AU. But for the high school spin-off, Jane is just a few years older, and a tutor for those struggling with English literature. Ariel and Jim happen to be two of the students she's tutoring 👀

It makes perfect sense for Jim, Ariel and Jane to be my first poly ship, I've shipped all of them before, and I'm surprised I didn't think of making them a polyamorous... group? Is that the word? I admit, I don't know what people in a polyamorous relationship call themselves, they're not a couple, so what is it called? 🤔

Either way, thanks for suggesting this! It kickstarted my brain, and let me finalize Jim's romance arc in the high school spin-off as well. College AU will still be Jane, high school AU will still be Ariel, but the high school spin-off will be both! 😁
