I never actually posted here my sketches of skin concepts, so why not
I worked a lot during the Star Guardian event. In order:
1. Star Guardian Protector Lux (Look if she's gone gone, I want her to be like a way too powerful guardian who looks after the other stars from all over the universe)
2. Star Guardian Harp (aka Fiddlesticks before being corrupted)
3. Star Guardian Zeri
4. Star Nemesis Qiyana
5. Star Nemesis Lissandra (this one is a very rough sketch compared to the others)

opinion on the porcelain Graves skin???? I don’t hate it but I’m mad it’ll take another year or more until we get another one and porcelain is such a boring theme. Stick him in an interesting skin line for once riot.
Sincerely? I tried to like this skin, I really tried, but.. :/
Well, on twitter I compared Porcelain Graves with the WR exclusive skin Dragon Lantern Graves (not the special edition) I'll transcribe it here.
Let's start with splasharts. Wild Rift's Splash arts are generally criticized, many times I don't agree, some of them are of even higher quality than those of League, which is the case of Dragon Lantern Graves. Even though it's not Graves' best splash, or the best skinline splash, it's pretty and pleasant, my only criticism is that it's a little too static, there's not much movement
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the Graves porcelain splash has some problems, at first glance it is.. pretty, but whenever you look at it, there seems to be something wrong, it really is a strange splash, and it's not the fault of the artist who made it.

Porcelain Graves Splash Concepts by Santiago Parra
in the end, they(riot) decided to increase the proportions and add a lot of texture, to achieve this result, so... yeah, it's not the best splash. but it's pretty
Dragon Lantern: 1
Porcelain: 0
About the VFX, let's be honest, they tend to do something very mediocre with Graves when it comes to visual effects, apart from his legendary skin (which it would be stupid of them to do something too simple) Graves' recent epic skins haven't received as much love.
Even though the Dragon Lantern skin has basically the same sounds as the base skin (i guess) the quality of the VFX is absurdly good (better than his legendary if you allow me to say). The Porcelain one.. is... mediocre.. ofc they couldn't put something cool like Lux and Lissandra's skins, right?
I can't post more than one video in a post, so here are the links so you can see the difference between the VFX of Dragon Lantern Graves and Porcelain Graves.
Dragon Lantern: 2
Porcelain: 0
Ok, let's get to the part that irritated me the most. The narrative..
Yes, we agree that Graves is not a big "important" character in Runeterra, he is not there to be a protagonist. That doesn't mean he can't cause real chaos, and set Bilgewater on fire just in an attempt to get revenge on his current partner. Why did I bring this up? because it is absurd to portray Graves as a pathetic and irrelevant character.
With that in mind, read Porcelain Graves' bio:
Not long after gunpowder was invented, the Zodiac searched for a new protector of the Dragon Relic. Though ancient and wise, the gods struggled to find someone worthy, so they settled for Malcolm Graves. Eventually his expertise in firepower was pointed in the right direction (away from all the breakable vases)
It's ridiculous, don't you think?
They are so fond of abusing the fact that Graves is, in some ways, a comic relief, that they make him the real joke, to the exclusion of everything else about him, and making him "unworthy". It's like they're saying "ugh, should this guy really be here? Who called him?". Whoever wrote the narrative of porcelain skinline seems to hate him, for real..
Now let's go to Dragon Lantern Graves' bio:
Graves, a free-spirited mercenary from a foreign land, can hardly wait to join in the fun at the gala. For this burly maverick, harmless ol' lanterns are no more than impractical ornaments—he much prefers filling up massive dragonflame cannons and setting the night sky ablaze with 'em booming explosions and dazzling lights!
1000% better, right? It's almost a delight. It's fun, brings out a little of who he is, and doesn't degrade his image :D
Dragon Lantern: 3
Porcelain: 0
AND WE HAVE A WINNER

Catching up with The Dragon Prince and decided to make a Crossover AU concept except all member of the Ghost Crew are different elves
(mind you I'm not deciding based on appearance or signature color ect I'm going with the General Vibe™ so it's rather personal, you can disagree or share your ideas)
Let's also say there are no humans in this case scenario kay? Let's dig in!
Hera- Skywing Elf, definitely, no doubt. Her love of flying is too strong for me to place her in a different type. She's also that "less than one in ten" case that's born with wings. I would say her horns would be long and curved to mimic the original lekku, I'd keep her green color (even though it's not usual for Skywing Elves to have that skin tonr) but maybe I'll add some silver/gray touches to
Kanan- Startouched Elf, going with what we know about that type, they're very rare and so are the Jedi after the fall of the Republic, so that's a nice touch. He'd have a deep indigo skin and obviously horns (to add the touch one could be chipped, to signify that he's been through a lot), his primal source is the stars ofc and ofc he's trying to teach Ezra about the arcanum with the stars, since that type of connection is rare and not much is known about it
Ezra- Startouched Elf, everything goes same as for Kanan, but I feel Ezra could have obviously smaller horns and a little lighter blue skin. He would also figure out the arcanum to more than one primal source and would definitely try Dark Magic at some point (just like how Ezra was tempted by the dark side in the show)
Sabine- Earthblood Elf- hear me out, she would definetly use her Earth Magic to create beautiful art, wether it would be with plants gems and crystals, she would have brown skin and green hair (at least originally, she could dye it later)
Zeb- Sunfire Elf, he would definitely still be a captain of the royal guard in Lux Aurea before its fall (lile Lasan) and it definetly fits that this type of Elves are known for amazing weapons (SWR Ladats- bo-rifle, TDP Sunfir Elves- Sunforge blades and armour) and his "heat-being mode" would definitely be something to see... He doesn't use the Sun Magic often, but like all Elves, he's connected to his primal source- the sun
Kallus- Moonshadow Elf, they're known for being great assasins and infiltrators, I think it would sit well with Kallus' spying abilities (and you cannot tell me that the phrase "by the light of Lothal's moons" doesn't fit perfectly!) He would still be pale with a bit of purple-ish hints, his markings would resemble his freckles, his hair would be white. He would know know a few spells but wouldn't rely only on them. He originally used Dark Magic, but after becoming one of The Good Guys™, he stopped. He's the perfect opposite of Zeb at first glance although also going with @seth-shitposts post about Kallus being like a moon that reflects the light around him, this is perfect.
Chopper- he would be Bait, but more outrightly unhinged
Not sure if I'm gonna write that or draw that but I wanna do SOMETHING

Disclaimer: I'm not a meta player so these numbers or effects may be fucked up. Please take it in all good fun 🙏🏻
Tumblr media
ー༄ Special Dish:
“Absolutely Normal Hot Chocolate.”
Type: Recovery Dishes
Ingredients: Cocoa powder x2, Milk x1, Spice x1
Effect: Restores 18~22% of Max HP to the selected character and regenerates 300~470 HP every 5s for 30s.
Description: Coviello’s specialty. Indulgent blend of cocoa and steaming hot milk, along with a dollop of condensed milk and a dash of cinnamon, with marshmallows to stir in or nibble on the side. It’ll warm up your body from the inside. Disclaimer: this version has no god’s remains inside.

ー༄ Favorite food:
“Venison Stew”
Type: Recovery Dishes
Ingredients: Raw meat x2, Fire-Water x1, Pepper x1
Effect: Restores 26~30% of Max HP to the selected character and regenerates 450~790 HP every 5s for the next 30s.
Description: A simple but hearty meal made of freshly hunted game. Since the Fire-Water is poured in the later process of the cooking, the alcohol should warm anyone up quite nicely. A perfect dinner to have in a cold winter night.
Tumblr media
ー༄ Signature Weapon:
🗡 Frozen Flame
Weapon Type: Sword
2nd Stat Type: Elemental Mastery
Rating: ★★★★★
Description: An icy blue sword with glowing red ‘veins’ along its blade. Forged by the cold frozen lake of Snezhnaya's endless winters and the eternal fire of Natlan, it seems to be especially receptive to certain elements.
Refinement Rank 1: Lux Aut Umbra
Upon hitting enemies affected by Hydro: Refreshes any existing Nota stacks and gains one Umbra Nota, which increases ATK to all party members by 18% for 10s. Max 3 stacks. The next two Umbra Nota can only be gained if wielder is off-field. When the wielder has 3 stacks, active character’s ATK SPD will be increased by 6%.
Upon hitting enemies affected with Cryo or Pyro: Refreshes any existing Nota stacks and gains Lux Nota, which increases the wielder’s Normal Attack DMG by 100%. This effect will disappear after 42 DMG instances or 18s.
A/N ⟡ Kit Concept: Mainly a weapon to better enhance Coviello's versatile playstyle. e.g. as support/sub-DPS, you'd focus on gaining Umbra Nota and making sure they go off-field, while as a main/sub-DPS, you'd focus on gaining Lux Nota (which can easily be done using their Elemental Burst).
Tumblr media
ー༄ Active Skills:
Normal Attack: Advancing in Caution
Normal Attack: Performs up to 5 rapid strikes.
Charged Attack: Consumes a certain amount of stamina to quickly step back and either 1) fires a pistol or 2) throws a dagger. Both instances deal Physical DMG.
Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Elemental Skill: Frostbite
Duration: 12s ⟡ CD: 20s
Cryo DMG: (Base level) 120% ATK + 140% Elemental Mastery
Applies a circular Cryo field which deals continuous Cryo DMG every 2s.
“Why do I wear thick clothes and layers if the cold doesn’t bother me?”
“….... You know I’m still human, right? Or was that a roundabout way of you saying that you want me to die?”
Elemental Burst: Ice Burn
Duration: 18s ⟡ CD: 32s
Enhanced Normal Attack DMG: (Base level) 120% ATK + 250% Elemental Mastery
HP Drain: 5% Max HP per second
Coviello activates their delusion and alternates between Cryo and Pyro DMG between attacks, causing continuous Melt reaction. This will convert their Normal Attack: Advancing in Caution’s Physical DMG into Elemental DMG.
While they’re in this state, their HP will continuously be drained.
“Do you know what severe frostbite feels like? It feels tingly at first, like sparks of electricity. Then, it starts to burn and swell, before you lose all feelings in that particular area... Heh. Ironic, isn’t it? How can cold ice feel like it’s burning your skin?”
“....... I suppose it's something you might not be able to wrap your head around unless you've experienced it yourself.”
A/N ⟡ Kit Concept: Great off-field support/sub-DPS for Hydro-wielding characters (specifically Childe), but turns into main/sub-DPS after their Elemental Burst is unleashed (which could also be a good support for Childe as you wait for his Elemental Skill cooldown). Also I imagine if RNG blesses Cov to fire a pistol as a charged attack, in-game Meirin would go "That's my child ;w;" /silly
Tumblr media
ー༄ Passive Skills:
Thermoregulatory: Party is immune to cold weather effects.
Avalanche (be upon ye): If the deployed party is entirely composed of Hydro and Cryo characters, including Coviello, opponents affected by Cryo will have their Cryo RES decreased by 10% for 12s.
Legal Hunting: Gains 25% more rewards when dispatched on a Snezhnaya Expedition for 20 hours.
Tumblr media
ー༄ Constellations:
C1: Frostnip
Increases the Level of Frostbite by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C2: Impermafrost ★
Active characters within Cryo field generated by Frostbite are immune to Frozen even when Wet (other elemental reactions with Hydro will still apply).
C3: Permafrost ★
If the opponent is Frozen, increase Frostbite’s Cryo DMG to 1.5x of the current multiplier value for Coviello’s Elemental Mastery.
C4: Hypothermia
Increases the Level of Normal Attack: Advancing in Caution by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C5: Blizzard
Increases the Level of Ice Burn by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C6: Gangrene ★
Increases Ice Burn’s Enhanced Normal Attack DMG to 1.5x of the current multiplier value for Coviello’s Elemental Mastery and reduce HP Drain to 4% Max HP per second.
A/N ⟡ Concept: C1-C3 enhances their support/sub-DPS capability, but C4-C6 evolves them into a decent DPS.
Tumblr media
ー༄ Idle Animations:
Crosses arms and watches the snow falling.
Sees a duckling on the ground. Crouches to pet it for a few seconds before standing back up.

 The coldest in both gaze and words was a foreign concept to that of the Ionian ninja . . . at least under the context of it coming from someone who she considered a beaming ray of light in an ever present haze of gray . . . it made her stomach churn in remorse , her heart sink ever slightly , and her eyes droop in shame .
  Akali's hand reaches out slightly beyond her person , towards the Crownguard daughter . . . before swiftly dropping back down to her waist level once again ,
  ❝ Lux . . . I . . . ❞ she struggled to find words ; what had originally been planned as a late night rendezvous where she would express a simple three word phrase to the other ? It had turned into one where Akali felt unworthy of such a notion . . . again .
  She had warned Luxanna before this arrangement had even begun , about the blood that stained her hands and it being the reason they would be so far apart more often than not . . . yet , that didn't sway Luxanna . . . at least for the long while , perhaps it was finally catching up to her ? Akali couldn't really blame her if that was the case .
  The Ninja tries her luck , stepping forward the blonde woman and gently spinning her to the point where blue eyes locked tenderly with those that were red ; Akali's death laced palm scooping the cheek of The Mage . . . her thumb aimlessly caressing the skin beneath it .
  ❝ 僕と走ろう、愛しのランタン 。❞ her voice is soft , attempting to reach deep within the confines of Luxanna's heart . Despite the thrill of a kill , or the pride that came with defending her homeland ? Moments like these . . . growing ever lost in those Crownguard eyes ?
  That was where Akali proved happiest .

Summary: Months of progress buoy everyone’s spirits. When Bruce gets frustrated over something and wakes up as the Giant, he loses hope.
Length: 4.5 K

Warnings: Bruce feeling like a failure, his friends worrying about him.
Author notes: Image of Bucky Barnes as Lord Buchanan is by Instagram artist Nixakimbo.
<<Chapter 24
📡 😞
In the time since Buchanan's and Ileana's daughter's birth and his father's passing much had happened in the kingdom.  Just two weeks after the birth of Livia, Lord and Lady Falcon welcomed their son James Steven Wilson.  Dark skinned like his father, as he grew his eyes changed to a light hazel with green accents like his mother.  The look was striking in a pleasing way. 
Buchanan and Ileana had both become engaged with saving the collection of books found in the remains of the building hidden in the ravine.  The Sorceress put an enchantment on it that only required a password to be spoken which would allow them entry into the space.  "Luceat lux" which translated to "Shine a light" was shared with a limited group of people, including Bruce, Lord and Lady Stark, William Harley, the King and Queen, King Thorn, Queen Jane, Lord and Lady Falcon, Baroness Romanoff and Silas Brenson, who despite his own self deprecation of his intellectual abilities had been shown to have as quick a mind as William Harley. 
Bruce took Ileana's suggestions to heart and removed the library computers to a place in Buchanan's castle that had been set up with power generated by the sun or wind as needed.  With the library's programming resources which surprisingly included many with the CD-ROMs still inside the resources he was able to reformat them and load software which they could use for scientific purposes, although they were unable to set up a network that connected the computers.  Lord Stark, William Harley, Silas Brenson, and Lord and Lady Falcon proved to be quick studies in programming, grasping the basic concepts quickly and proving themselves capable of reformatting the computers and creating additional programs.  Together with Queen Jane and Lady Buchanan, Bruce created a program that could run the calculations he had been working by hand.  Using the CD-ROM drives, and a number of rewritable CD-ROMs that were found in a library back room, he was able to make copies of the program for all of the computers.
Regular trips were taken to the Library to pull out resources that would be of greatest use to the most people.  On this particular day Buchanan, Erasmus and the Sorceress searched out resources in the Religion section that would help bolster the acceptance of technology by the masses.  Erasmus was almost overwhelmed by the number of different religions there had been in ancient times.  Some were puzzling to him but others held wisdom that made him wonder why the Church had suppressed the knowledge of them in the years since the calamity.
"It seems the Church was more intent on being the only place of worship to the people," he said.  "They controlled so much and regarded others with different beliefs as heretical and dangerous.  Lord Buchanan, you went to the Holy Land, saw and fought the supposed infidels.  Were their ideas truly that dangerous?"
"Truthfully, no," said Buchanan.  "They just refused to submit to the will of the Church.  Perhaps that's why the Church went to war with them.  I lost my will to fight the others for it seemed they just wanted to live peacefully by their beliefs, not the Church's.  I am still a believer but these past years have shown me that the Church doesn't hold the patent for living the righteous path.  It lives within the person."
"Well said," replied Erasmus.  "You would make a good priest in the new Church.  Too bad you married and had a child."
"Why should that stop anyone?" asked Buchanan. 
The Sorceress smiled and looked at her cousin.  "We have had this discussion many times," she said.  "Perhaps enlightenment should be offered to everyone who asks for it, not just unmarried men."
Erasmus bowed his head in deference to both the Sorceress and Buchanan and they continued looking for books.   Elsewhere Ileana had directed several others deeper into the Library, each with a battery torch.  She gave them the numbers that she recalled from memory on engineering, mentioning the types of that applied science, including hydraulic, electrical, magnetic, communications, radio and lighting.  One of her group found books on heating, propulsion and tools so they packed them as well.  Together they hauled them out and strapped them into great leather satchels carried by pack horses.  Outside, at the top of the ravine Ileana waited with Livia keeping her close for feedings.  Seeing where the sun was located Ileana reminded Rhodes to advise Lord Buchanan it was time to leave before sunset overtook them on the trip back.  Within a half hour they were on their way back, Livia in a carrier fastened to her mother's front that allowed her to feed her on horseback, if necessary. 
As they rode back, Buchanan kept riding close to see his daughter.  Livia had thrived since her premature birth and was very much loved and cherished by her parents.   Although she had his eyes and hair, her face was very much like her mother's.  Her alert curiosity took in everything on the rides to and from the ravine and as she grew older she would point at things in the trees with delight.
On one of his trips to the library Buchanan ventured deep into the structure, finding a section for children.  He pulled books and toys out then brought them to Ileana whose face lit up at the items.  Many of the books were ones she remembered from her own childhood.  Together they often read them to their daughter.  When Buchanan mentioned it to the King and to Lord Falcon they asked for some of the items themselves.  The toys especially, were admired and the King found a woodworker who could recreate them for distribution throughout the kingdom. 
Meanwhile Bruce and the other modern worlders, as they came to be called, continued searching out people with quick minds and teaching them about the technology of their ancestors.  Using materials readily available, they attempted to recreate the building of certain things that could benefit society as a whole.   Although the dissidents still grumbled about the invasion of modern technology in their quiet lives there were no more incidents of sabotage at the missile silo.    An incident in a large village in the Ancient Mountains brought the advantages of using modern technology to the attention of many after a small child fell into a deep well.  Using one of the battery lights attached to his head, Silas Brenson strapped on a harness copied from illustrations found in a mountain climbing book to rappel down, pluck the child from the icy water then climb back up.  In front of the whole village he emerged from the well with the child secured to him, taking less than an hour from the time he entered.  The child was hypothermic but using the treatment for hypothermia from a first aid book, the village healer was able to bring him around fairly quickly with no ill effects.  Both Silas and the healer gave credit to the knowledge from the books for the successful rescue.  The question was soon raised as to why a village could not have a small library of their own to share resources with those who lived in the surrounding area.
Baroness Romanoff, herself eight months pregnant wrote a moving letter to the King about the rescue of the child and how it helped turn the tide of opinion on the modern books.  She formally requested the King look to build a number of small libraries in larger villages and create their own library system where the books would be available to all, not just the nobles.  With the open support of the modern worlders a plan was drawn up to divide the books as equitably as possible and distribute them to the larger villages once a suitable building had been erected and shelves installed that could hold the books.   Stone cutters, masons and wood workers welcomed the opportunity to build the structures and with the addition of solar and wind power installations to power the buildings the potential to be open in the evenings intrigued many. 
Perhaps the biggest accomplishment of all was the successful building of a pair of radios by Lord Stark and William Harley.  Although rudimentary in appearance both could send and receive voice messages.  Initially their conversations were limited to Lord Stark's castle but when he read about transmission towers he directed his workers to build a tower a mile away and sent a message to Harley, who had wired the radio to the tower.  At first they heard nothing.  With some suggestions from Bruce Banner, a metal worker was conscripted to fashion two large metal saucer shaped discs that were fastened to the tower and to the side of Lord Stark's castle.  Once wires connected the discs to the radios they tried again and for the first time since the first asteroid destroyed much of the civilization of their world two men conversed over the air. 
By the time Prince Joseph turned one year of age most of the Lords and Baronesses had their own radio network over their estates.  It was used to share news from the King, for pronouncements of events, and even warnings of severe weather.  Meanwhile work continued on determining how to reprogram the missiles to target the asteroid which had now been identified and confirmed as the one that would cross paths with the world at a point in the coming years.  The three silos were connected to the radio network, using the equipment onsite, and with their modern technology had greater range than the rudimentary ones. 
Bruce and Queen Jane found a ham radio in a storage room in the silo whose missile had been launched.  On a whim, they set it up, connected it to the local radio tower and tuned it to 145.80 MHz. 
"You ever used a ham radio before?" asked Bruce.  "I think we should call ourselves KBL1 for Kingdom of Broken Lands 1."
"Nope," said the Queen.  "You?"
"No," he said, opening a library book on ham radio etiquette.  "Here goes.  CQ CQ CQ this is KBL1 calling CQ CQ CQ."
He repeated it several times but there was no response.  Just radio silence.  He looked at Jane.
"If there is anyone out there they could be on a break," he said.  "Why don't we try every fifteen minutes for the day and if we hear nothing then we know we're on our own."
She nodded and both returned to using the computers at the silo to run calculations.  Every fifteen minutes one or the other would call out to the silence, hoping to get a response.  But there was nothing for the entire day.
"We should go into the evening," said Bruce.  "Some operators only do it in the evening because the atmospheric conditions are better."
"I have to go," she said apologetically.  "I promised Lord Stark I would come to his lab and I'll get there after dark as it is.  You staying?"
"Yeah, I'm staying," said Bruce.  "I brought some food.  I can sleep in one of the cots of the quarters.  You'll be okay on your own?"
"I think Thorn has left me a couple of guards to escort me," she smiled, patting her growing belly.  "Especially since I got pregnant.  Soon, I'll have to return to home to have the baby.  Can't have the heir to the throne born in another kingdom, right?"
They said their goodbyes and Bruce watched as she climbed up the ladder to the outside.  She shouted and waved from the top that she and her escort would be leaving.  He pressed the buttons that closed the doors, locking himself into the silo.  Silently he ate his rations that he brought with him, then he tried calling out on the ham radio again, repeating it for several minutes before stopping.   Every hour he woke up trying for ten minutes at a time and every hour there was no response.  Just before morning he stopped, disconnected everything and put it all back into the storage room.  They were truly on their own. 
He searched out the cot and stretched out on it after he turned off the lights.  It was pitch dark inside and quiet.  As tired as he was he couldn't sleep and he tossed and turned until finally he slept a dreamless sleep.   When he awakened he was on the floor, the cot having broken underneath him. 
"Wonderful," he said to himself as he got up off the floor in the dark.
Reaching for the light switch he was startled to see the green skin of the Hulk once again covering him.  He ran to a bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror.  The spell that the Sorceress had laid on him the previous year was broken, returning him to his in-between state.  His clothes, now in tatters, were barely enough to cover him and he groaned in agony at being once again caught in this too big body with its bad temper and excess strength.  Carefully he climbed the ladder to the outside, pressing the button that would allow the doors to open.  There was no one there in the pre-dawn stillness and he looked around before pressing the outside control to close the silo.
"I'm going to miss this," he said to the sky, then started running towards the ravine, back to his hut, back to his self-imposed exile.
An hour later, after the sun had risen Lord Falcon approached the silo after being informed by Queen Jane the previous night that Bruce intended to stay the night to try and make contact with the stronger radio.  When he opened the silo doors he was puzzled that the lights were still on in the stairwell and went down the ladder to the level where he could turn the power on for the rest of the structure.
"Bruce?" he yelled.  "Dr. Banner?  Are you here?"
He went into the living quarters area, seeing the destroyed remains of the cot.  He picked up the pieces thinking at first that Bruce had tried to defend himself but realized the destruction was from the weight of too heavy a body sleeping on the cart.  Noticing the several pieces of torn cloth that he recognized as clothing worn by Bruce, he deduced what likely happened.  Returning to the main control room he sat in front of the radio connected to the network and turned it on, tuning it to Lord Buchanan's receiver.
"This is Silo 2 contacting Lord Buchanan, over," he said, then repeated it.
"Go ahead Silo 2, Buchanan here," came his voice.
"Buck, we have a problem," said Falcon.  "Bruce has turned back into the Giant.  He's gone from Silo 2.  He was staying all night trying to get a ham radio to work.  His cot is in pieces and there are the remains of his clothes on the floor.  Over."
"Damn," said Buchanan.  "He was worried that he was spreading himself too thin and this would happen.  I'm hoping he returned to his hut.  I'll take a trip out there with a change of clothes.  Can you contact the Sorceress?  Perhaps she can put a new spell on him.  Over."
"Alright, I will," said Sam.  "This couldn't have happened at a worse time.  Queen Jane plans to return to the Kingdom of the Green Lands to prepare for her baby.  Those two handled the lion's share of the science.  What will we do without them?  Over."
"I know," said Buchanan.  "Let me try to talk to him.  Over and out."
Lord Falcon retuned the radio to the King's frequency and advised him what had happened.  Like Buchanan he was concerned for Bruce and promised to contact the Sorceress immediately.  In fact, after he sought her out he asked her to come with him to the Giant's hut..
"I'm not sure I can make him human again," she said.  "Something happened in his mind that changed him back in his sleep."
"I'm not asking you to change him back," said the King.  "In fact, I think it better we get him to accept his condition.  I want you to show him, truly show him what a difference he has made to our kingdom.  We need him, Sorceress.  We need his mind and his ability to teach.  He doesn't have to be human to do that."
She nodded and prepared to leave with the King.  His garrison commander saw the King preparing his horse, immediately asking the King how many guards he wanted.
"None," he said.  "I go to comfort a friend and assure him that I accept him as he is.  Sending guards with me would go against my intent.  I won't be alone, as the Sorceress accompanies me and we will meet Lord Buchanan there.  Trust me on this, please."
Almost two hours later they met Lord Buchanan at the path that led to the Giant's hut.  He led Bruce's two cows and his bull behind them and also a pack horse with food, clothes and Bruce's work.
"I thought if we couldn't convince him to return then I should at least bring him the comforts of living," said Buchanan.  "He is in his hut.  I saw the smoke from his chimney as I approached from my estate."
Together the three rode their horses towards the stone hut.  Surprisingly Magnus did not seem bothered as they got closer and for a moment Buchanan wondered if the Sorceress had cast a spell.  She smiled and said that she hadn't, almost as if she heard his thought as if he spoke out loud.  They tied their horses up and put the cows into one paddock and the bull into another.  Buchanan knocked on the door.
"Bruce, please come out," he said.
He could hear the Giant inside, moving, and knocked again.
"Please, friend, come out and talk to us," said Buchanan.
"Who else is with you?" growled Bruce.
"Come out and see," said Buchanan when the Sorceress put her finger to her lips for him not to tell.
With a sigh Bruce got up off his chair and came to the door, opening it wide.  "Your Majesty, Sorceress," he said, surprised.  "You came to see me?"
"Of course," said King Steven.  "When I heard what happened I wanted to be here for my friend, you, so that you knew this doesn't change how we see you, the real you.  You're a teacher, and a scientist and you've made a big difference to this kingdom.  The man on the outside is different but it is the man on the inside that we care about."
He came out into the sunshine with a sigh and noticed his cows and bull in their paddock.  "Yet it looks like you're expecting me to stay here," he said bitterly.
"No," said Buchanan.  "I only brought them if you proved to be stubborn enough not to listen to friends. I even brought your great clothes and food, including coffee, if you decided not to return with us.  I didn't want you to be without some comforts."
"And you, Sorceress," said Bruce, appraisingly.  "Were you going to try again to return me to the stature of a man?"
"Only if you wanted it," she said.  "I was asked to show you how important you are to all of us.  You are, you know.  It's why this version of you was stranded here so long ago.  You make a difference Bruce.  To all of us.  May I?"
She held her hands out to him in a gesture of requesting permission to touch him.  With his consent she positioned her petite frame in front of him and lifted her hands to his temple.  Then she began showing him his own memories of his time from when he was first befriended by the elder James Barnes, to when he helped protect Buchanan's lands from the attack by Lord Pierce.  That was followed by the faces of the people who turned to him for knowledge and instruction on the vast treasure trove of science that needed to be unlocked to face the asteroid threat.  She finished with the trust Buchanan had shown him when Ileana went into labour prematurely and his assistance at Livia's birth, as well as becoming her god parent at her christening.  When she was done she stepped back.
"Have I misrepresented anything?" she asked.  "Did what I show you proceed exactly as you remember?"
He nodded.  "I'm afraid," he admitted.  "Afraid of losing my temper and lashing out with my hand and hurting someone.  I was frustrated last night.  Jane and I spent hours trying to contact someone with the ham radio and all we got was radio silence.  Surely, there should have been someone who was still on the air."
"Maybe there was hundreds of years ago," said Buchanan.  "Maybe like the crew at Silo 2 they lost hope and gave up.  We know from the Mars books that some of our people made it to that planet.  Perhaps they are there still, looking at us through their telescopes and longing for the day they can return home.  Or perhaps they also gave up and perished on that alien world."
"The important thing is we're not giving up," said the King.  "Bruce, your knowledge gives us hope.  Against all odds our ancestors survived and reverted to an ancient system of government to build again.  We are at a crossroads now as we reclaim our lost knowledge but we need a teacher to understand it all and like it or not, you're the teacher.  Don't hide in this forest as Bruce the Giant again.  Take your place in our kingdom as Dr. Bruce Banner, scientist and teacher, friend to a king, many lords, ladies, and every subject that lives here."
Bruce smiled.  "You're as good a man as your namesake in my world, Steve," he said looking the King in the eye.  "He had a way of making you feel you could do the impossible.  Alright, I'll return to Buchanan's castle, since he already has furniture built to accommodate my XXXXL size.  You do, don't you?"
Buchanan nodded with a grin.  "I can easily have more built to accommodate you," he said.  "For now, I have clothes you can change into so you look the part of honoured teacher and scientist.  Let's go home, Bruce."
Banner took the clothes and went into his hut.  He came out a short time later looking more civilized.  He closed the door and took his cows and bull out of the paddock.  Then he looked at the three of them.
"Thank you," he said.  "I was feeling very low when I got here, like I had failed everyone.  I forgot that failure is a basic part of science.  It's how we learn.  I won't forget again."
"Good," said King Steven.  "Now the Sorceress and I are going to return to the Palace.  You may be interested to know that I will be receiving a delegation from our southern neighbours tomorrow.  The same ones that joined with Prince Loke to wage war against us.  The trade of coffee for precious metals has gone well and they are looking for more trade goods, like fine woven linens, wooden toys for their children, and radios.  I'm hoping they've done some digging themselves and have found scientific installations that can help all of us when we solve our asteroid problem.  We may come out and see you in a few days.  I'll radio if we do.  Farewell good friends.  Safe trip."
He and the Sorceress mounted their horses as Buchanan did the same.  They journeyed together to the path that split.   One pair went to the ravine while the others took the path towards the estate.  Buchanan and Bruce stopped once, availing themselves of the food stuffs that were brought in the event Bruce stayed at his hut.  They sat overlooking a small pond while Magnus and the livestock grazed on the sweet grass nearby.
"Magnus doesn't seem afraid of you anymore," said Buchanan.  "I noticed it when we arrived.  At first I thought the Sorceress had done something but she said she hadn't."
"Perhaps he senses something greater," said Bruce.  "I'm no longer afraid of myself.  That's why I lived out there away from everyone.  I was afraid of losing control and hurting someone.  Living as a man the past year has been good for me.  They'll have to get used to me like this but if your great horse can anyone can."
"You know, we could breed Magnus to a large mare," said Buchanan.  "After some careful breeding we may be able to get a horse big enough to carry you.  That would be an imposing sight."
"No thank you," laughed Bruce.  "I don't really want to learn to ride at my age.  I'm too old for that."
"How old are you?" asked Buchanan. 
"In my world I was 56 when I found myself transported here," replied Bruce.  "I've been here at least 10 years easily so I guess I'm 66."
"You don't look it," declared Buchanan.  "Not even in your human state.  Perhaps your giant keeps you looking young."
After enjoying their break they began walking back to the estate and soon came to the first of many farms.  The farmers came out to their fences to greet Lord Buchanan as he passed.  They all recognized Bruce, asking if he would be looking like that from now on.  He and Buchanan took turns confirming it.  To a man the farmers just nodded their heads and turned back to their work.  When they approached the castle they looked at the north entrance then at the regular south entrance.
"I say we go in together," said Buchanan.  "If the horses react well then we know they have accepted you.  If they don't, I'll clear the north entrance for you."
Not really sure what to expect the two men entered the courtyard which had several horses being saddled.  As Magnus and Bruce's livestock walked in the other horses glanced at them and didn't react to Bruce at all.  He walked up the steps into the castle with Buchanan and turned back to look out over the courtyard.
"I guess I am home," said Bruce, with a small smile. 
The two men walked inside to get his oversized furniture out of storage and placed in the largest bedroom again.  Ileana came out of the reception hall carrying Livia, who held her arms out, not to her father, but her transformed god father who gently held her as she laughed and babbled at him.  He was home indeed.

Riot's obvious skin preferences used to just annoy me, like, I'd see the new skins and be like 'right, the same characters (skinny LeagueOfLegends-faced woman and muscled more-often-than-not-shirtless man) again, what was I expecting", but this last months I've been experiencing actual rage when I see ANOTHER FU****** COPY-PASTE and I was curious; what are your opinions about the matter? I want too see people raging and hating on this with me I'm sorry
I mean, I know it's what sells most how can people pay for the same sh*t over and over and OVER AGAIN , but really, would it kill them to make one unusual character, or at least drop the anime fashion for one month?!? With creativity you can create so many interesting concepts but it's like Riot throws it all over the window everytime they decide to just adapt the same characteristics into a slightly different body.
But anyway, what do you think?
SAY IT LOUD!!!
I used to ignore this thing about Riot releasing so much content for popular characters, like, it didn't interest me so i didn't even engage with it. but it's gotten so ridiculously annoying these last two years... even when there are interesting concepts, what's the point if it's only going to be aimed at champions like kaisa, lux, akali, yasuo or yone?
I had a small hope when Broken Covenant line was released, with Cho'gath and Nocturne receiving the best-looking skins in terms of design... (but soon after because of the narrative, and the use of the term "partners in crime" directed at rakan and xayah instead of the real couple who are partners in crime... yeah, as petty as that sounds, it really irritated me)
And in the same year as BC we had to put up with not only the Coven line(which is terrible, but no one seems to realize that) but also about 60% or more of last year's skins were with an oriental theme.
oh, and do I need to mention that champions like Yone, Sett and Ezreal received 2 or 3 skins in a short period of time? i mean, Sett won his Soul Fighter skin and just 3 months later he won his Heartsteal skin?.... Dr. Mundo had not received a skin for more than 4 years, my Graves had not received one for 2 years, and the last was a sport skin.
Everything about the current state of Riot has been exhausting to follow.
I really just wish Graves would be released in LoR soon, i'm begging for any minimal content about him.

The Pinnacle of Opulence: Luxery Fitted Sheets for Your Bedroom
In the realm of luxury bedding, few elements hold as much significance as fitted sheets. As the foundation of your bedding ensemble, fitted sheets play a crucial role in not only enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your bedroom but also ensuring your comfort and relaxation. When it comes to elevating your sleep sanctuary to the pinnacle of opulence, investing in luxery fitted sheets is a decision that transcends mere functionality—it's a statement of refined taste and uncompromising luxury. Let's delve into the world of luxery fitted sheets, explore their unparalleled qualities, and discover why they're an essential indulgence for discerning individuals seeking the epitome of opulence in their bedroom decor.
Tumblr media
The Significance of luxery fitted sheets:
Fitted sheets are more than just a practical necessity; they're a symbol of comfort, luxury, and attention to detail in the realm of bedding. Unlike flat sheets, which can easily become untucked and wrinkled, fitted sheets are designed with elasticized corners that snugly fit over your mattress, ensuring a smooth and wrinkle-free surface for restorative sleep. luxery fitted sheets take this concept to the next level by incorporating premium materials, exquisite craftsmanship, and meticulous attention to detail to create a bedding experience that is truly unparalleled in its opulence and refinement.
Craftsmanship and Quality Materials:
At the heart of luxery fitted sheets lies a dedication to craftsmanship and quality materials that sets them apart from their ordinary counterparts. Crafted from the finest fabrics such as Egyptian cotton, Supima cotton, or silk, luxery fitted sheets offer a sumptuously soft and indulgent feel against the skin. These premium materials are meticulously woven and finished to exacting standards, ensuring superior durability, breathability, and long-lasting comfort that will stand the test of time.
Thread Count and Weave:
One of the defining characteristics of luxery fitted sheets is their thread count and weave, which contribute to their exceptional softness and durability. Thread count refers to the number of threads per square inch of fabric, with higher thread counts typically indicating a smoother and more luxurious feel. luxery fitted sheets often boast a higher thread count ranging from 300 to 1000 or more, resulting in a luxuriously soft and silky texture that envelops you in a cocoon of comfort.
In addition to thread count, the weave of the fabric also plays a crucial role in the overall feel and performance of luxery fitted sheets. Popular weave options include percale, sateen, and twill, each offering a distinct texture and appearance. Percale weave is known for its crisp and breathable feel, while sateen weave has a silky smooth finish with a subtle sheen. Twill weave, on the other hand, provides a soft and durable fabric with a slight diagonal rib pattern. Whether you prefer the crisp coolness of percale or the silky softness of sateen, there's a luxe fitted sheet to suit your personal preferences and sleep style.
Attention to Detail:
What sets luxery fitted sheets apart is their meticulous attention to detail, from the precision of the stitching to the quality of the finishing touches. Hemstitching, embroidery, or intricate patterns add a touch of elegance and sophistication to luxery fitted sheets, elevating them from ordinary bedding to exquisite works of art. Each detail is carefully considered and executed to perfection, ensuring a luxurious and indulgent bedding experience that delights the senses and enhances the beauty of your bedroom decor.
Benefits of luxery fitted sheets:
Investing in luxery fitted sheets offers a multitude of benefits beyond mere aesthetics. Here are some of the advantages of incorporating luxery fitted sheets into your bedding ensemble:
Ultimate Comfort: luxery fitted sheets envelop you in a cloud of softness and comfort, providing a luxurious and indulgent sleep experience every night.
Superior Durability:
Made from premium materials and crafted with precision, luxery fitted sheets are designed to withstand the test of time, maintaining their beauty and performance for years to come.
Enhanced Sleep Quality:
The smooth and wrinkle-free surface of luxery fitted sheets creates an optimal sleep environment, promoting relaxation and restorative sleep.
Breathability and Temperature Regulation:
luxery fitted sheets made from natural fibers such as cotton or silk offer excellent breathability and moisture-wicking properties, helping to regulate body temperature and keep you cool and comfortable throughout the night.
Timeless Elegance:
With their exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail, luxery fitted sheets add a touch of timeless elegance and sophistication to your bedroom decor, transforming it into a luxurious retreat where you can unwind and rejuvenate in style.
Styling Tips for luxery fitted sheets:
Now that we've explored the qualities and benefits of luxery fitted sheets, let's discuss some styling tips to help you incorporate them into your bedroom decor:
Layering: Experiment with layering luxery fitted sheets in complementary colors or textures to create depth and visual interest in your bedding ensemble. Pair a crisp white fitted sheet with a luxurious silk or satin top sheet for an elegant and sophisticated look.
Mix and Match: Don't be afraid to mix and match different patterns, textures, and fabrics to create a personalized and eclectic bedding ensemble that reflects your unique style and personality.
Statement Pillows and Throws: Enhance the luxurious look of your bedding with statement pillows and throws in coordinating colors or contrasting textures. Velvet, faux fur, or embroidered pillows add a touch of opulence and warmth, while a plush throw draped at the foot of the bed provides an inviting finishing touch.
Elegant Accents: Add elegant accents such as decorative pillows, silk pillowcases, or a cashmere throw to elevate the luxury of your bedding ensemble and create a hotel-worthy experience in your own home.
Minimalist Approach: For a clean and contemporary look, embrace a minimalist approach to styling your luxery fitted sheets. Keep the color palette simple and understated, and focus on quality materials and craftsmanship to create a serene and sophisticated sleep sanctuary.
In Conclusion: luxery fitted sheets are the epitome of opulence and refinement in the world of bedding, offering unmatched comfort, quality, and style for the discerning individual seeking the ultimate in luxury for their bedroom decor. From their premium materials and exquisite craftsmanship to their attention to detail and timeless elegance, luxery fitted sheets elevate the ordinary act of sleep into a truly indulgent experience that delights the senses and soothes the soul. Invest in luxery fitted sheets and transform your bedroom into a haven of opulence and sophistication where you can relax, rejuvenate, and indulge in the pinnacle of comfort and style.
