Progress images showing the process of making this, as well as some preliminary sketches I didn't go with, are on my Patreon for $5/mo!
I feel like Sollux would be more of a league player. Karkat would try to play it but give up like a week later
HHGGH my sis frequently infodumps league to me bc she tracks the esports matches so my impression of that game is like. heavily skewed towards the glamorized big-scale competitions with dramatic live broadcasting
idk much abt the game so i tried describing the hs peeps and asked her what champions they'd play. here's what she said (my description was likely very insufficient lmaoo pls take with grain of salt) -
sollux jungler. been playing since early league days, shaco to troll, otherwise kindred
(i think he'd enjoy collecting fem skins and playing girls/girl mages too. cue vc constantly trying to bait him into pronouncing 2haco LOL)
karkat would start off playing garen in top lane, then eat shit and give up. months later revisits and plays more comfortably after switching to nautilus support tank in botlane
(nautilus design is so freaking cute im alr attached AAA the most perfect champ for karkat 🥺🤲!!)
terezi replaces toplane with mordekaiser, dave botlane on aphelios. not sure abt midlaner, maybe vriska as yasuo to be silly
bonus :ayaya: (she's a rosemary enjoyer) - midlaner rose as orianna, jungler kanaya as evelynn
i also like sollux dota 2- not just bc there's two in the name but also because dota and league have history as genre rivals so its funny thinking of sollux being a dota og elitist that way hajaha
however in my heart the best slkt gaming headcanon wld always be mmorpgs heh. i dont play so idk how it works but i did have some old scribbs w the concept, testing dynamic

Let me know how you like the single, askance reference approach, I'm experimenting with succinct weird ways to pitch things to the people I think will like them. Links go to my original Letterboxd "review" (comment), and if you click the poster or title there you'll be taken to the short synopsis, cast & crew, wide header image for some vibes, etc.
I don’t know if this counts but I have an au where Fingon is partially possessed by Glaurung during their fight! But I would absolutely love to see your power seeking Fingon takes!

Okay, first of all, I now have a MIGHT NEED for dragon possessed Fingon.
And I just think, there should be more Valinor fics that lean into Fingon's desire for a domain of his own. Galadriel's not the only ambitious Finwean who desires a kingdom! She's just the most patient about it.
Grant you, in Beleriand Fingon does ease up on these ambitions. He does nothing grand with Dor-lómin, builds no great fortress there, and even gifts it away to the House of Hador for their use. And since we are all reading overmuch between the lines here in our Silm fandom I've speculated that perhaps a good deal of the ambitions of individual Finweans has less to do with power and more to do with, shall we say, a certain level of insecurity that arises when you have too many royals and not enough kingdom.
What is a prince to be prince of when he shall inherit no corner of the kingdom for his own? What is his purpose? What is his place? What shall become of him as the throne passes him by and it becomes vainer and vainer to call himself a prince? What is he if he cannot be what his title proclaims?
That's a scary place to be in even for mere mortals.
It's not exactly great of Fingolfin to be power-jockeying with his elder brother, and it is a thorny wedge between Fingon and Maedhros, but it also feels like a lifeline for someone growing more and more aware of all he won't ever have and who will eventually lose what he does.
So if I were to write a power-hungry Fingon, that's the angle I would take, that's the driving motion; the insecurity of future obsolescence. He's young, he's hotblooded, he's impatient, he doesn't know who he is outside a royal and it's half-shameful to imagine it.
