idk. im just sick and goddamn tired of having to hold the weight of all my familys problems on my shoulders. im facing an impending move that got sprung on me out of nowhere, i dont think im capable of being a functioning adult, i keep slipping into complete mental turmoil so bad i dont talk to any of my friends and then i feel too guilty to try and reach out afterwards, my dysphoria is getting way worse, my body is constantly finding new ways to fail on me. i really dont think i need any more to deal with thanks. i think im good not having to be the only thing keeping this family from self destructing. dont think i need to be the only lifeline for both my mother and my sibling who hate each other. idk. idk. i just need a break i guess. idk

I'm not surprised (but still disappointed) that Arcane spirited Ekko out of Act 1 and 2, because if they kept him around then they'd have to engage in politics. I don't just mean, "Oh Ekko would know what to do and rally Zaun". I mean the writers would have to confront the fact that they don't want Ekko to challenge Piltover, the same way they don't want Jinx or Viktor to challenge Piltover in a serious way. It's easier for them to do it with the latter two because the audience readily disassociates those two's actions from politics and the ongoing conflict between Piltover and Zaun. They can't do that with Ekko because he's so plain-facedly Zaun-centric

Instead, both in League and Arcane they invent enemies for him that bring immediate danger to his community Zaun in the form of chembarons, mad scientists, and experiments gone wrong while avoiding anything but surface level criticism of Piltover. Even from Ekko's development his creators prioritized him having Zaunite champions as enemies over Piltovans, and even mentioned he would come to understand Vi's perspective eventually. Essentially, Ekko's character has been used as a way for Riot writers to walk around the fact they turned Zaun into the crime city Piltover deals with rather than parasitizes, and almost every other champion who isn't Ekko, Zeri, or Zac is a part of lineup of Saturday morning cartoon villains.

If Ekko was actually present for the events of Act 1 and 2, then the writers would have to find an excuse for him not to rightfully call out and even fight Caitlyn for gassing Zaun and occupying it. Without Silco as an immediate threat Ekko could engage with the wider Zaun and even interact with other Zaunite champions and the politics of their growing factions. Maybe Ekko would even be faced with the choice to turn Jinx in to keep the enforcers out and have to make a choice.

But the writers don't want Caitlyn or Piltover to be challenged too harshly and don't want to think too deeply on the political motivations/aspirations of their Zaunite champions. They just want Ekko to show up in the finale where the class conflict is pushed aside to face some larger existential threat that everybody can come together and dogpile on.

I can't get over how Shadow needed Rouge bribing him with a fucking spaceship to reluctantly attend Sonic's birthday party, but for Amy's birthday he not only went willingly but got all decked out in a costume, played along with the murder mystery game, went through lengths to get her tickets to her favourite band as a surprise present and agreed to go to the concert with her afterwards even tho he doesn't listen to their music to boot. Either Amy is a different kind of special or Sonic is just a different kind of "not worth it" lmao

Ok, this blew up more than expected so while y'all are here please consider helping out these guys!

One final note before I depart for the night.

God damn you, Robby, you had better not walk off that ledge. Yeah, you've screwed up repeatedly this shift snapping at people. Yeah, McKay and even Langdon deserved more empathy than they got from you. But the things you're actually blaming yourself for aren't your fault, and by god, your people need you. Mohan needs her work dad. Mel needs someone to remind her she's needed. Whitaker needs someone to keep reminding him to find peace. Langdon needs someone to set his ass straight and talk him out of his FUCKING ENORMOUS pride and into rehab before his addiction kills his career and possibly also himself.

Don't you goddamn dare leave us, old man.

Because they're shell-fish.

my favorite thing about Vlad King is that his hero name is VLAD KING and his quirk is BLOOD CONTROL and he has RED EYES and SHARP TEETH and he's 6'4 and built like a BRICK WALL and his PERSONALITY IS competitive but supportive, protective and encouraging, he gets along with his students and coworkers and his favorite things are tomatoes and cheese. he's got a dog :)
