Mel's protection should have saved Viktor too, and she's trying to figure out why it didn't

(Editing to add: see this post for details on the Mel's armor/shield theory)

S2 ep1 shows a circle of protected stone where Mel and Jayce were during the explosion. My theory is that Mel's magic armor activated and saved them both. It seems like it casts a sphere of protection around wherever Mel is.

The center of this circle is not Mel's seat - it's Jayce's. She ran to Jayce to save him.

No other Councilors were in range of Mel's protection, so they all got hurt or killed.

But Viktor was, in Jayce's words, "right next to" him. He was easily within Mel's circle of protection.

1) Viktor tried to run and mistakenly left the circle of protection. But are we meant to believe that Viktor, close to dying already and using a crutch, would have outrun Mel?

2) Viktor's augmented body clashes with Mel's

Why does Mel try to touch Viktor in episode 1? It seems like a throwaway moment, but not even Jayce touches him in this scene. So why Mel?

She's curious. And possibly, feeling responsible. She's wondering why her protection didn't work.

Is this Hexcore brand of the Arcane trying to reach out to Mel? Or trying to defend itself from her?

Mel was trying to protect both Jayce and Viktor, which is reflected in how she holds Jayce as well as Viktor's cane when she promises to protect Hextech:

But if, for example, Mel's magic is Solari in origin, and Viktor's is from the Void - or the Arcane equivalent of similar opposing forces - then it's possible that their magic rejects or hurts one another. So Mel's circle of protection either rejected Viktor, or was what hurt Viktor, and not the explosion.

all the scott summers panels in my screenshot collection.... mostly just because i want to be able to look at them all and go :) wow it's scott :) :) for some reason he's just been on my mind lately

theres is something extremely funny to me about these pages creating a (relatively) big fanon scene with multiple different AUs and interpretations, just to then look at the actual comics where it never got brought up or acknowledged ever again

i'm honestly so used to it at this point i forget there are people who still go by canon and dont see any relation between surge and kit & the diamond cutters

I really wish the Monster Hunter team had put like 3% more thought into their biggest story ever. Or at least had literally any kinkster proofread it. Like...

There is this mysterious substance all over the land, and it's somehow connected to everything that makes the world function. This substance is later revealed to be milk.

There are monsters that have been specifically engineered to be unable to drink anything but milk, and the milk has hypnotic powers on those monsters, to some degree. The monsters are covered with milk and sustained by nothing but milk, and are made big and strong and scary thanks to the milk.

There was one monster that was sick of the milk and decided to hork down some meat instead, which is shown on screen as him gobbling down giant cocks (chickens). This monster goes insane from not having milk, and ends up having to be put down.

As previously mentioned, an ancient civilization pumped the milk through the entire world. The milk controls the seasons, and the very balance of nature itself. The milk made these people godlike, and their entire civilization was centered around their milky powers.

The final boss went to the source of the milk and started to take from it directly. This made it ascend into an angelic form, covered in milk and made extremely powerful. As you continue to beat the ever living milk out of it, it's slowly becomes more corrupted.

Please tell me this does not read like smut?

I'd seen interviews w Spike (btvs)'s actor about the SA scene, how he can't even stand to watch that kind of thing but was contractually obligated to film it so he couldn't say no,

And I'd been kinda procrastinating on finishing the show bc spike is my favorite character how could they do that to us 😔

Anyway I did finally get to that episode and there were tears in his eyes during that scene

MAN I'm seriously so sad about season 2. Bc I wish act 2 had the same emotional impact on me as it appears to have on so many others. But rn I'm just somewhere between unable to care and actively annoyed by some of those writing decisions. Seriously the more I think about it the less I like it.

the internet has made some of you approach every human interaction like it's pvp and you're so not fun to talk to because of it

[bitchapalooza]

So apparently I've accidentally given Sanji a feeding kink in the current fic I'm writing without realizing? Huh...

[bloodied-dagger]

I hate when people tell me I’m a good person. That just makes me feels worse

[britneyshakespeare]

literary theses are so hard to come up with when i choose to write about things i really truly love with that emotional, subjective part of me that is the true professor in my heart... like i know how to analyze texts... but can't i instead just tell you about all the beautiful, magical parts instead?

Too many slightly stressful things happened to me in a row, I need my brain powerwashed

[confessions-of-an-old-cassette]

being in love with your best friend is just. i'll never say anything because i don't want to ruin it. you tell me i look pretty today because that's something friends do and i look into your eyes a little too long. i'll sit by and watch you and your boyfriend because it makes you happy and i care about that more than me getting what i want. you know me better than myself. i know you better than anyone. i look at you like you're the only person in the world and you aren't even looking at me. people say we'd look cute together and i die a little inside when you shake your head. you've only ever seen me cry once, and i know i pulled away from your arms too soon.
