In my quest to keep myself distracted from the temptation of watching leaks I finally started digging into league Machine Herald lore and how come none of y'all never told me league lore is actually amazing wtf
Like not only is jayvik the funniest shit ever with this new context but also Viktor is genuinely very conflicting and my brainrot for him has only increased. Watched a 20 min video and I was actually captivated.
Bro really helped a sad kid by giving him a treat and a brain implant and telling him to go beat the shit out of his bullies. He canonically heats up food with his goofy shoulder arm. Man fell into depression and got even more depressed over the concept of being depressed. He drinks choccy milk. Jayce saw him as a friend and Viktor thought he was "flamboyant and arrogant." I adore him. We are all league Viktor on this day.

Paris + The Gods
please pretend that it looks like ares is taking the crown from paris instead of giving a crown to paris because having paris actively hand it over didn't work with the rest of the concept for this drawing
also please pretend that it actually looks like aphrodite is leaning over instead of looking like she's the same height as paris - a lot of the shading i used to indicate that she wasn't standing up straight got killed by the glowy hair effects
bonus flats + simpler shading under the cut, bonus ramblings in the tags

Eiffel question for you (kind of a sad one sorry): do you think he would learn sign language after getting back to Earth if he managed to reconnect with Anne? I think early Eiffel probably wouldn't, being too consumed with guilt to even try and chronically unable to commit to anything. But I think he's had enough character development by the end + loves his daughter enough to try and learn. Thoughts?
there was an AMA where they were talking about, like, methods of communication relevant to eiffel's job, i.e. that he knows morse code, and maybe a bit of ASL - and that part lodged itself in my brain, for obvious reasons. at best, he can kinda fingerspell and remembers a couple of common words - enough that he's frustrated he didn't care enough / pay attention before, but not enough to meaningfully practice with. and he wouldn't ask for help; the whole thing where he felt like he was creating distance from his mistakes the longer he went without talking about them... yeah. like you said, i think he'd be too caught up in that guilt spiral to even try.
"if he managed to reconnect" is a whole other complicated thing, but. given the chance? he loves his daughter, he is capable when he cares enough, and he's got more of a support system now, so i hope... i don't think anne is going to want to talk to him right away. and he probably won't cope well; eiffel's got some serious RSD and has historically... dug himself in deeper in situations without an easy fix. but i hope there will be people in his life to keep him on track, and i hope he will learn for anne, for whenever she's ready. "that's the thing about you, eiffel. you try. you really, really try. and then you... stop trying. don't stop."

“Um but having a democrat in charge hasn’t fixed everything” 1) republicans have the majority in the house and senate 2) fuckin reagan’s policies still have a significant impact today, you think one administration can undo trump’s shit in 4 years? 3) if Any lives are saved or significantly improved by having democrats in office it’s worth it. Yeah the fact that a Good Guy can’t get elected and easily change anything is part of why an entirely different system is needed but personally I would like for as many people as possible to be alive to see that happen
I feel like I’m not even allowed to say “yeah I don’t like the guy either” without getting dunked on for being a “lesser of two evils” person or having no moral backbone or whatever but like. Maybe having a moral backbone involves giving more fucks about material reality than symbolic expression of displeasure (with issues that affect others more than you)

it’s so frustrating trying to research how to support another cluster b disorder because your partner is questioning having it, but all of the stuff is about how abusive they’re going to be
if anyone could give me advice (preferably from someone w/ npd) on how to support a partner questioning/with npd, i would greatly appreciate it :(
