ugh yeah the update that changed legends of runeterra path of champions really ruined it, i really like playing jayce and viktor in that game and they just? removed them. and also removed all the charm of it. huge bummer. apparently they'll be adding more champions over time so hopefully the boys get added back in eventually at least :/

Ugh I really hope so. I was reading the update so I have SOME hope, and honestly there are some aspects of the path of champions 2.0 that I really like. I enjoy the kind of umbrella quests alongside the personal ones (tbh I’m not incredible at card games so I enjoy that I can pick WHO I beat ezreal and gangplank with, etc), and the graphics are really pretty. The champion shards are really unbalanced right now though I think, and I just miss my boys T.T

Even without the comics, just hearing Jayce and Viktor’s little voice lines made me almost unreasonably happy lmfao. They said they can be summoned as support champions but I’ve been playing quite a bit and I haven’t gotten them yet?

But yeah I just really wanted to get Viktor without spending money 😅😭 I’ve heard a lot of people jokingly hate on Ezreal— I don’t know enough about him tbh but now I kinda hate him too after that drop LMFAO

3. what's a wip that you've procrastinated on the longest? why?

my novel because i ALWAYS procrastinate on my novels. they're harder to write than fic because i have to do all the work, i can't just take characters and settings i already know and write those. with my original writing, i feel more pressure to figure things out, fill in holes, make it GOOD because i want to publish it, and all of that becomes paralyzing if i'm not consciously writing every day. i don't think my original writing is as good as my fic, and as a former gifted kid, if i'm not amazing at it on the first try (or first draft) then i tend to give up (this is something i'm working on though). i've procrastinated because there are so many pieces i want to figure out but haven't yet, and the disorganization of the story and how far i've had to deviate from the outline makes my mind feel cluttered and then i don't want to write at all. this is just the tip of the iceberg on why i procrastinate on this particular wip, there are SO many things keeping me from doing it and most of them are things that wouldn't exist if i cared a little less.

6. write 3 sentences of any wip you'd like, post it in the answer.

well, sir e, congrats, you've made me work on my novel for the first time in a month and i don't even hate it!! so here's what i've got (plus the sentence before what i wrote just now for context):

“Do you really never wish you could leave?” Ellis asked without thinking.

“I never said that,” Enyo replied, the words soft and reedy, as if it took a herculean effort just to get them out. “But if I had to choose between in here and out there, it’s not much of a contest.”

Enyo turned his face up to the sunlight and closed his eyes. The light emphasized the shadows on his face, making him look even more gaunt and unwell, even as the soft glow warmed his features. It reminded Ellis of Winslow’s plants, reaching desperately for a shred of daylight, a breath of fresh air, even if they would never feel either without the film of the greenhouse between them and the outside. The only way someone could prefer life like this, Ellis thought, was if they had forgotten any other kind of existence.

20. how do you usually come up with story ideas?

lately i don't, haha. but in general, they come to me in all sorts of ways. sometimes i'll just be thinking in the shower or driving because those are pretty much the only places my mind wanders freely and i just think about stuff. sometimes i'll dream about something and write down something interesting. other times, i'll get inspired by something else and i'll get a flash of an idea that blooms into something bigger. occasionally i sit down and actually TRY to come up with an idea just by thinking about stuff i enjoy writing about or characters i like or things i want to explore.

i also take from my own life and experiences and fictionalize it because i feel like it's easier to write about myself if i'm not writing so directly about me, even if i'm using my emotions and experiences (like how my novel wip is essentially a giant fuck you to everyone who's ever said mental illness is all in your head like it's something you can just turn off and think your way out of). lastly, sometimes i come up with lines, just single lines that i write in a random notes app on my phone and leave to marinate, and there's a list of like 30 one-liners that i thought were pure gold sitting in there now. sometimes, if they relate closely enough, i piece them together into a full story.

Viktor’s sense of humor headcanons

Dude has a freakin morbid sense of humor

It honestly takes most people by surprise since normally Viktor always seems so professional and solemn

But he’ll make a dark joke about his condition. Something along the lines of

“Ooh it’s windy today. Hold onto me so I don’t go flying.”

“You think you look bad? At least you don’t look like your one McDonalds Sprite away from death.” Inspired by @steelandscience

“Well, I’m still faster than you crushes replies >:3”

and they’ll just be like

“Is it ok to laugh at that?” 👁👄👁

Other than that he just loves messing with people

He’ll mostly make his dark jokes just to see the reactions he’ll get.

The lil fluffy bastard

Loves him some good old fashioned sarcasm. Especially when he’s cranky

Viktor: *obviously looking around for something*

Jayce: Hey Vik! Did you find that missing part?

Viktor: Yes Jayce, about an half hour ago, but now I’ve hidden it again so you can find it. :D

Jayce: …

that golden girls reference

[malicious-gay]

Actually, I'm only going to leave you hate comments.

@steelandscience

[sharpace]

I don't know anyone else who'd be interested but I've jus realised that I can find official character model/texturing sheets of pretty much all main arcane characters but I can't for the life of me find Jayce.

I found a Viktor one because I struggle with his face, a Mel one for her hair, a Vi one for her scars, a Caitlyn one for her outfit n now I want a Jayce one (because the entirety of him causes me confusion) but I can't find anything. Not even final design concept art...

Who thanos snapped this man?! I feel like I'm wading in an ocean of League Jayce with a desperate need for a slither of Arcane T-T

Am I going insane? Is there actually Jayce tezture art somewhere but I'm too small brained to find it? Have I been banned from all Jayce-centric character art sites without my knowledge? Please Jayce. Where are you hiding?

Hello! You came to the right place. Haha. I knooow it's painful how many screenshots I've saved of him to get the details right.

Though, @steelandscience came in clutch tonight and provided me with this character design sheet:

Hope this helps with whatever you're working on!!! :D

[sharpace]

Aaaaaah!! You and Kit are lifesavers!! This will go in my little gremlin reference folder. I'm slowly building them up.

But as for the Viktor reference, I use this from a twitter post. The site the post links says they were recreated with permission so I assume that they're official!

https://mobile.twitter.com/jumaralohexcore/status/1490841021101785089

Well @steelandscience is more the lifesaver!! I’m just the messenger! The medium for conversation! The ouija board if you will!

But aaahhh! Thank you for sharing the link! I had seen these individually but oh man it’s nice to have them in one neat place! Thank you!

[steelandscience]

Hello there

Welcome to my Arcane blog! My name is Kit, but I usually go by Sir E here :)

This started so I could post my random writing and art bc Arcane took over my professional art pages. The tags are not always organized, but the important ones are:

#sir e art - my arcane art

#sir e speaks - any meta analysis, asks, random thoughts, or anything I comment on in a post

#sir e writes - all of my fic updates and writing snippets

#arcane thoughts - meta analysis only (in post or tags)

— ⚙︎ — ⚙︎ — ⚙︎ —

Most of my writing can be found on AO3 under the username SirExcelsior.

Steel and Science is my series of Jayce and Viktor fics. Unrelated and with no particular chronological order.

I’ve a Good Heart (Albeit enasnI) is my very long, slow burn, canon-friendly jayvik fic from their first meeting through the divorce era, and is the one I primarily work on :)

— ⚙︎ — ⚙︎ — ⚙︎ —

Primarily jayvik content, or anything related to Jayce or Viktor separately. However, I will occasionally reblog other arcane meta posts I think are neat, other character edits, production notes, official art, interviews, and gifsets (including jaymel).

Please feel free to tag me in anything arcane related, DM me, or send me an ask to discuss anything about the show, send art or writing requests, or just to say hi!! I am always thrilled to hear from anyone <3

[nowwheresmynut]

I see V has added his own notes on the page? Is that in Russian? Is it just the same thing translated or is it something else entirely because I'm upsettingly monolingual but intensely curious.

No! He's just written it mirrored and from right to left, like Da Vinci did when he didn't intend for other people to read his writing hehe

You'll be able to read it in good plain English if you flip the image! Sorry for the inconvenience! I can post the easy-to-read text here later if you want. For now I'm leaving the challenge open the devil made me do it

I'm overjoyed that it made you curious enough to ask. Most of the writings is @roguequartz 's work, send her some love if you enjoy it 😁

(edit) @steelandscience did the transcription here

[malicious-gay]

Can you have a dash that you don’t clog up with the same post I have already posted reblogged over and over smh this blog is just FAN BEHAVIOR

I'm being bullied, actively, by @steelandscience. You are witnessing cyberb//llying :(
