So, on a reddit post I made (it was on potential Arcane seasons) someone in the comments convinced me to write a whole essay on Rhaayn and despite writing it in an hour long hyperfixated haze I like how it came out so I'm posting it here too for the people who want to read my analysis on why their relationship could work:

Ok, so for myself my favorite thing about ships is when you can see what each member offers to the other, or you can see why they fell in love and chose to spend their life with that person specifically. And what Kayn and Rhaast have in common is that they are both lonely men that have been traumatized by war. Swain even says in a voiceline to Kayn that what he really wants is love, since as a child soldier Kayn has only ever known hate. On the other hand, the darkin have all lost themselves from their war with the Void and from being isolated for centuries in their weapons, and the other darkin we see all remedy their isolation in different ways: Varus’s heart is changed by Kai and Valmar, Naafiri embraces being a pack mother and wants the darkin to come together like a pack of wolves, and Aatrox calls his darkin brethren to him so they can have one last war together. Rhaast would never admit it, but I think him toying with Kayn instead of spending all his energy trying kill him is his remedy, he’s the only form of interaction he’s had in so long and deep down he knows he’d be isolated all over again without him.

From there, we know from their Odyssey voicelines Kayn is much more susceptible to getting attached to Rhaast, he still tries to talk to him after he’s killed Rhaast off and reminisces on the fun times they shared, which makes sense. Kayn is much more of a serious edgelord while Rhaast is still edgy as hell, but more in a Dante from DMC and always joking around kind of way. Kayn could use someone less serious to balance him out and keep his mood from getting too dark. Kayn is also someone who desires praise, he wants to impress Zed any way he can and in Odyssey he wants the galaxy to bow down to him as emperor. What I’m saying is Kayn has an obvious praise kink. And in his own way, Rhaast praises Kayn for being both a worthy opponent and a worthy vessel.

Which brings me to Rhaast, and I have an idea for how he would fall for Kayn which relates back to his desire for a worthy opponent. Rhaast rejected many possible vessels back in Noxus because he knew they wouldn’t give him a good fight, and were therefore too weak for him. But he respects Kayn’s power and wants to fight Kayn head on for his vessel. But what would happen if someone other than Rhaast brought Kayn near death? Rhaast feels like the type of character who wants to fight Kayn as his full power and have a fair battle before he would slay him (back with the DMC references, a very Vergil thing to do). I could see that turning into Rhaast being very protective of Kayn and even using his hemomancy to heal him during fights, as he can’t have someone stealing his kill, he needs Kayn to stay strong and healthy for when they have their epic duel to the death! Then once the time for that duel comes, Rhaast finally realizes he doesn’t want to kill this man he’s been protective over, who is just as bloodthirsty and lonely as he is, and who he sees as an equal.

And from there, there are so many ways their dynamic could go that doesn’t involve them killing each other and they could spend the rest of their time together doing whatever they want and bickering over the dumbest shit imaginable. (may have strayed a lot from the rom-com idea and got too into character analysis, but that’s the beauty of this ship is that there’s a lot of different parts of their dynamic you could focus on and find the romance in, they just work so well together.)

#also wanted to mention this somewhere but couldnt find a good spot to #but i recently got into the band GHOST #and Circe is such a good rhaayn song #'you cannot hide in the darkness' 'i can see through the scars inside you' 'from now our merge is eternal'#those are some rhaayn coded lyrics there #league of legends #lol #rhaayn #kayn #shieda kayn #rhaast #darkin

I tried to stop him from escaping but he said ‘I’ll run away to a different country!’ as he ran away. Forever, probably. Odd fellow.

I was knocked out in the scuffle with that Eddie chap. When I came to, Poe said he had escaped. Mr Poe, your statement?

I'm gonna have to watch this a few more times before I can form any detailed opinions, right now I'm just internally (and a little bit externally) screaming that it's perfect because honestly I loved the whole thing. Like I can't pick out a favourite character because I could write paragraphs upon paragraphs about how wonderful they all are; I was expecting Vivian to be a clear favourite because Mary Kate Wiles is my favourite actor in anything ever, but then Claudette showed up and blew the curve (which isn't to say I didn't love Fig and Ford and Wilhelmina just as much, but they didn't get their best scenes until later in the film) so I'll have to take some time adjusting to these new heights of incredibleness. All I can really tell you is that if you were to ask me my least favourite genres, noir and murder mystery would both be right up there at the top of the list, but when Shipwrecked got their hands on the genres they created two of the absolute best pieces of fiction I have ever seen.

Like as from polished and transparent glass, Or as from water clear and luminous, Whose shallows leave the bottom shadowless,

The image of a face comes back to us So faint, a pearl on a white forehead stirs The seeing sense no slowlier than this does,

So I saw faces, many and diverse, Eager to speak; and straight fell in a snare -- The pool-enamoured swain’s, but in reverse.

Dante Alighieri, Paradiso III ll. 10-18 (trans. Dorothy L. Sayers)

Quali per vetri trasparenti e tersi, o ver per acque nitide e tranquille, non sì profonde che i fondi sien persi, tornan d'i nostri visi le postille debili sì, che perla in bianca fronte non vien men forte a le nostre pupille; tali vid' io più facce a parlar pronte; per ch'io dentro a l'error contrario corsi a quel ch'accese amor tra l'omo e 'l fonte.

Christina Rossetti

(Dec. 5th 1830 - Dec. 29th 1894)

Brief Bio:

Christina Rossetti was born and raised in London. She was the youngest of four children, and the niece of John Polidori. Schooled at home and exposed to a multitude of contemporary works, their home was a revolving door of Italian artists and scholars. In her late teens she sat for paintings, and turned down numerous suitors. She published her first work in 1850, which led to a lifelong career as a critically acclaimed poet. Her works contained themes of faith, sin, redemption, and female agency, with noticeable influence from other poets. She continued to write throughout her life, and died of breast cancer in Bloomsbury.

Notable Works:

Goblin Market (1862)

In the Bleak Midwinter (1872)

Love Came Down at Christmas (1885)

The Grave:

Rossetti is buried in her family’s plot in Highgate Cemetery, London. The cemetery is divided into two halves: East and West. She is interred in the West Cemetery, which is only open to guided tours. Admission is by timed ticket. If asked, tour guides will gladly take you to see her.

Also buried here is her sister-in-law, Lizzie Siddal. Lizzie was married to Christina’s eldest brother Dante. She died of a laudanum overdose at age 30. The grieving Dante had her buried with a volume of poetry he’d written for her. Seven years later, at the behest of a friend, he had her exhumed so he could publish them. Dante himself was not present at the exhumation, but according to one account, Lizzie’s red hair had continued to grow and fill the coffin. Rossetti, haunted by his choice, chose never to be buried here. It has been speculated that this story partially inspired Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula.

Highgate Cemetery

Swain’s Lane

London N6 6PJ

Surrounding Area:

Across the road is the East Cemetery, which is open to the general public, though they charge admission. Here George Eliot and Karl Marx are laid to rest. At the top of the Swain’s Lane is St. Michael’s Church, where Samuel Taylor Coleridge is buried.
