lancer hot take GO
1. CRIMINALLY underrated as a key player in the narrative. so often in fan content, he’s relegated to comic relief when in reality his character arc is the fucking CO-FOCAL POINT of ch1 (alongside susie’s)
but where susie learns that opposition isn’t always the answer, and it can lead to her hurting people she loves, lancer learns that the authority figure in his life isn’t omnipotent and perfect and he can stand up for what he knows is just. he can question the adult in his life he can BE HIS OWN PERSON and he doesn’t have to feel like he’s not good enough. fuck. not personal or anything prommy (lying)
2. i think he should be allowed to KILL. queen will livestream it. shit would be funny as fuck

azul & deuce’s unique magic incantations
Tumblr media Tumblr media
***Glorious Masquerade spoilers!!***
Okay, so we get a flashback of a deal that Azul made with Deuce prior to ascending the bell tower. Basically, Azul does something similar to what he did in episode 4 of the main story; he borrows Deuce’s unique magic (Bet the Limit/Double Down), which is more powerful the more damage the caster has taken. Azul saves Deuce’s UM to use at the best possible opportunity to strike back at Rollo after Rollo launches a particularly strong attack at the NRC gang.
AND WE GET THE INCANTATION FOR AZUL…
"The song ends, the sun sets. Give mercy to these poor souls. Now, the deal is struck/Go ahead and sign the scroll/Sign the contract! It’s a Deal.” (Translations provided by @mysteryshoptls, who is currently on hiatus)
The “song” relates to merfolk in that they are very musically inclined creatures (particularly Ariel, the titular Little Mermaid princess herself). The “sun sets” is a reference to the sun setting on the final day of the time allotted for Ariel to earn true love’s kiss from Prince Eric. Giving mercy to “poor souls” calls back to Ursula’s iconic villain song, Poor Unfortunate Souls. And, of course, making a magical deal to make one’s desires come true was Ursula’s whole thing--a motif that carried over to Azul, her twisted counterpart. The line “Go ahead and sign the scroll” is one way to localize the final line, borrowing from a line that Ursula utters in her song.
In the scene prior, we also get the incantation for Deuce’s unique magic (although it doesn’t have any immediately obvious Disney references): “You’ll pay for what you’ve done! Grit your teeth! Bet the Limit/Double Down!!” (I believe this incantation also occurred in episode 5-64, but it’s been so long since then and I guess it wasn’t all too clear at the time 😭)

A froggy day in the life of a young prince and a (to be) knight 🐸
Inspired by this prompt by @thepenultimateword! Based on my characters with @callmemeg
“And you confronted the witch head on because…?” young Prince Belir trailed, staring hard with his amphibian eyes at his equally amphibian as well as equally cursed wannabe-knight sister. Though, rather than nestling into the wet leaves for camouflage like he was, she was hopping around in the soil making a spectacle. She didn’t seem to realize that her usual move of athleticism did not transfer well to this small, round body.
“To protect you, of course!” she cried, struggling through a somersault.
"And what protection this is, thank you so much."
"Hey!” His sister’s throat swelled up and she involuntarily let out a croak.
Their bickering and frog-leaps eventually caught up to the witch. There she was, outside their vacation home, lounging in their family’s hammock, eating a croissant that- that- fine, they didn’t know it was theirs, but maybe their parents had bought it and she had stolen it from their kitchen!
“Hey, Witch!” Miana croaked.
The witch raised her sunglasses contemptuously. “Have your parents taught you no manners at all? That’s Ms Witch to you.”
If Belir had eyebrows, one of his would have been raised right now. 
“Oh, apologies,” Miana said without missing a beat. “Ms Witch!”
“Yes, children?”
“Turn us back!”
“Is that all?” She leaned down and turned both frog children to face the opposite direction.
“Not like that!” Miana’s throat swole once more. “We want to be human again!”
“Oh?” Her lips curved into a smirk, but her victims were… not bright enough for her to get the reaction she hoped for, so her face settled back into a tired look instead. “Don’t you know your magic basics and history?”
“Why, yes,” Belir answered. “Just yesterday I read that some cultures used to decorate magic wands with flower petals on special occasions.”
“Very good.” Belir proudly puffed out his little frog chest. “But I meant curses. Particularly the curse of turning people into frogs. Like your situation.” She gestured between the two of them.
“Oh. No, I can’t say I’m familiar.”
The wi- Ms Witch sighed, “Elvara and Doretan are going to hear from me,” she mumbled to herself. Then she sat up straighter and got out her teaching voice. “Turning people into frogs is a very basic and easy-to-break curse. It’s a very common curse, mostly used by people just learning magic or who just want to use a temporary spell. Its popularity is thanks to the famous fairytale The Frog Prince, that I will personally ask your parents to read to you tonight." Anyone else listening to their conversation may have heard some slight snideness at the last comment, but there wasn’t anyone nearby so that snideness was lost.
Miana nodded. “Thank you. But can you turn us back now?”
“No can do, frog princess. Only true love’s kiss will do the trick. You two do know what that is, I hope?”
“True love’s — HEY! No! What if we don’t have a true love?” Their trembling forms gave Ms Witch reassurance that there was at least some intellect in those heads of theirs.
“Well, I guess then you’d better start looking.” She lowered her sunglasses and resumed eating her croissant. 
With great difficulty, Ms Witch was able to control her laughter and her tongue while the two amphibians panicked their heads off.
Her entertainment was unfortunately put to an end when Ms Nerianne and Queen Elvara walked out the cabin door. 
“Jadi, remind me, do you have any allergies —” 
“WAHHHH! NENE! MOMMY!”
“MRS MOM! NENE! I DON’T WANT TO BE A FROG FOREVER!”
The two frog children continued wailing as two very surprised guardians looked on. They looked toward Ms Witch, Jadi, who had a hand on her mouth to try to muffle her snickering.
“My word…” Elvara rushed forward and picked up her kids, her slimy, crying kids, but her kids nonetheless. Memories of her children being small enough to hold in her arms resurfaced before her critical thinking did. Thankfully, that wasn’t the case for Nerianne.
“What did you do, Jadi?” She withheld the second croissant she had brought as hostage till her question was answered.
“Nothing! You wanted me to teach them magic, I’m teaching them magic!” With a wiggle of her fingers the hostage croissant had transferred to her hand.
“You made them cry!”
“Nuh-huh! I turned them into frogs. I never made them cry. In fact, they started crying when you two came. A suspicious correlation, don’t you think?”
“Oh Gods, Jadi.” Nerianne’s so-done voice was undefeatable.
“Sorry.” Jadi finally had the sense to look sheepish. “But, on the bright side, I agree to take them on as my pupils! Also, I’m allergic to eggplant.”
Nerianne sighed and took one of the children from Elvara’s arms. 
“Dory! Dory, come here!” Elvara called for her husband Doretan, still entranced by the fact that her children were so small.
Doretan walked out, still in an apron and flour, “Yes, Elly?” He paused at the sight of the crying frogs. He didn’t know frogs could cry, he realized.
“I DON’T WANT TO MARRY A WEIRDO WHO KISSES FROGS!”
“I DON’T WANT TO GET MARRIED AT ALL!”
Those voices were unmistakable. He sighed. It was only a matter of time before his children were turned into frogs, it was a very common occurrence among kids their age, either a curse by a jealous classmate or an accident while learning magic. Thankfully, the curse’s popularity meant its remedy was also very popular.
“So they’re finally frogs, huh?” He wiped his hands on his apron before taking one of the tiny sobbing creatures in his arms. “What kind of frogs are they? They’re so small," he mumbled.
“Aren’t they, Dory?” Elvara responded. “Almost makes me want to keep them this way. So small and tiny,” she freed Nerianne of froggy Miana and cradled her in her arms.
It took a while, but, eventually, Miana and Belir each received a kiss on their heads by their guardians. The kisses had turned them from two sad frogs back to their perpetually confused human selves. It was true love’s kiss. True family love. Tomorrow Jadi would go on to say that they would have known this if they had had better schooling in magic history. But today, they were ordered to get back to their chores and set the table for lunch with her instead.

What exactly drove mugman to cannibalism, did he snap or something and ate his first piece of human flesh and decided he liked it or sumthing?, how does he even get away with it????
Tumblr media
This.
Crystal Spade. The thing that is attached to his handle. Once every thousand years, he has the urge to kill and devour.
No. He doesn't like it.
As you can see by the ending of Ch 2 of Power to the King, Mugman killed and ate someone. Then he felt sick. And threw it all up.
And nobody in a high level can be arrested. Any of the people that The King is fond of, he won't allow the police to contain them. He'll kill them. You can't kill the King to stop this. His immortality goes far. So does Mugman's.

prince of blood/life analysis
The Prince of Blood [symbols: crown, bleeding cut]
The Prince class has its basis in Machiavelli’s The Prince. An example would be Prince Hamlet from the Shakespeare play.
The Blood aspect’s main theme is connection. You can find its official description here.
A Prince of Blood is among those who alter paths, drive, and passion. This is the “classpect group” they belong to. Members include: the Sylph, Maid, Bard, and Prince of Breath/Blood. These classes are all opposites or inverses of each other that alter the Breath/Blood dichotomy (paths, drive, and passion). A description of classpect groupings can be found here.
The Prince of Blood actively destroys the Blood aspect. Active classes tell themselves what to do and do so for their own benefit. They are more likely to stand up for themselves, but more likely to be cruel. Princes and Bards destroy their aspect and everything it symbolizes, while using that same aspect as a weapon. In doing so, they leave their opposite aspect in their wake. Due to their actions, they come across as their opposite aspect. Simplified, the Prince of Blood is motivated by themselves to destroy connection. In personality, they come across as the Breath aspect, seemingly defined by freedom.
On the subject of personality, the Prince of Blood wants to have control over things and has a strong sense of responsibility. Personality descriptions can be found here.
Their archetype is the True Promised, defined by control and connection. Archetypes are explained here.
Their opposite is the Bard of Breath, who passively destroys freedom.
Their inverse is the Sylph of Breath, who passively assists freedom.
A classpect or “god tier” is an individual’s best self. All classpects go through a journey from unrealized, to struggle, to realized. When a character is unrealized, they neutrally exist as their inverse. On their struggle, they will wildly flip back and forth between their inverse and true classpect. In their worst moments they will act as their inverse, in their best their true classpect. When realized, they will stabilize as their true classpect. They will still have room to grow, but will become happier, more successful people.
This means that the Prince of Blood begins life motivated by others to assist freedom. When their struggle arrives and they are at their worst, they will continue this behavior in negative extremes. However, when at their best, they will find purpose in instead destroying connection for themselves. When realized, they will stabilize and continue to destroy the Blood aspect actively, in a positive way.
They share their archetype with no one, being the truest representation of their type.
The Prince of Blood would quest on a planet similar to the Land of Breath [Opposite Aspect] and Blood [Aspect]. An example would be the Land of Rebellion and Barbed Wire. An explanation of planet naming conventions can be found here.
Two possible gods, or denizens, to reign over their planet would be Hera (Goddess of Marriage Vows) or Prometheus (Deliverer of Civilization). Other Blood aspect denizens can be found here.
When the Prince of Blood completes their planet quests and dies on their quest bed, they would rise to ascension on the wings of mosquitoes (symbols of blood). A list of soul animals can be found here.
The characters that I have currently classpected as Princes of Blood are: Jack Noir from Homestuck, Spades Slick from Homestuck, Red Hood from Batman, Arthur Maxson from Fallout, Leo Johnson from Twin Peaks, Hanzo from Overwatch, Thranduil from Lord of the Rings, Loghain Mac Tir from Dragon Age, Magneto from X-Men, Marcus Junius Brutus from The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, and Brutus from HBO Rome.
If any of the links not connected to my blog break, the content can be found on my Google Drive.

Ekko, Jinx, & Viktor: How Do They Carry the Legacy of Their Mentors
Zaun’s three most prominent minds, Ekko, Jinx, and Viktor, have been, or soon will be, cross a threshold they can never turn back from paths once Jinx’s rockets hits the council. Zaun and Piltover will never be the same, neither will the characters. It’s already been stated that the cast will likely become the opposite of who they were during the first season. And I don't think it was supposed to mean a personality flip, it's just the emphasis of traits that were more in the background in the first season, but under these new conditions become more prominent. Everyone on the show has a strong enough character that you can see the wires that make them run and the connections that keep them going. I think the best way to understand where they are going forward is to look at the mentor figures that are or had laid their foundations for them.
Jinx & Silco
Tumblr media
They’re the easiest to start with. Jinx and Silco had one of the most complex relationships within the first season. They came together out of a desperation for connection and comfort based on the shared trauma of abandonment, and together they became a family. Silco saw so much of himself in Jinx that he thought he could help her the way he helped himself after Vander’s betrayal. He gave her resources for her weapons projects, he taught her to be vicious like he was, trusted her to understand and handle his special operations, and he gave Jinx the love and validation she constantly sought. No one can argue that they didn’t love each other deeply, he just helped her like he helped Zaun, in a way that hurt her.
The root of their toxicity (outside of the violence and murder that permeates their circumstances) is the that fact Silco treated Jinx like he treated himself. Jinx is an entirely separate person from Silco, with her own set sensitivities and struggles with mental illness. On top of that no matter how often he evangelizes the success of his choice to sever the bonds of his past he couldn’t do it either, he still struggled. Despite Silco and Jinx’s volatility, Silco still chose Jinx over Zaun, not the idea of Jinx with all of the weakness of Powder gone, just her. Silco gave up his future for Zaun for Jinx’s life to be as she is. Upon Silco’s death Jinx, by herself, chose to definitively end any intrigue or negotiation that would be in the way of Zaun’s creation.
Jinx chose to carry on with Silco’s dream, not the way he would have done it, just in her own way. Now Jinx is alone, at least emotionally, and she’s left with Silco’s shimmer empire, his associates, pissed off chembarons, soon to be pissed of Piltovans, enforcers, Sevika, firelights, Caitlyn, her sister and probably Noxian interlopers (maybe even Ionians too) on her case. But if every major character will appear the opposite, Jinx will probably be able to handle it. 
Throughout the first season Jinx was struggled to gain the approval of the ones she loved most, and it kept her interactions insulated to a small circle of people. But now Silco's dead and Jinx’s decided who she is, and that means it's going brutal for literally everyone else. The brief times Jinx is around people she doesn't care about she easily overwhelms them every time, not even physically in Thieram's case. Silco even took cues from her to whip the chembarons away from Finn's attempt to foment dissent. When that scene happened I took it to mean, Silco learned from Jinx as much she learned from learned from him how to manipulate and terrorize people.
Without her struggle for acceptance after recieving full validation, Jinx's left with just herself and what she and Silco built together. Jinx already took the first shot, she knew her actions would lead to at least open conflict. She's going to make Zaun happen through her own more violent means. Jinx already knows most of the ropes. I honestly think it’ll be a 50/50 split between chembarons who want to kill her vs chembarons who think she’d be too much trouble to kill and easier to manipulate. If she really internalized what Silco taught her she can whip them into the shape she wants, it just won’t be easy.
Viktor & Singed
Tumblr media
In their first meeting Singed recognize Viktor’s engineering prowess and social isolation and decided to have him work as an assistant. Their relationship breaks down as a young Viktor becomes horrified at the suffering Singed’s experiment causes on Rio. When Viktor returns to Singed’s lab desperate for help as he runs out of time, we as the audience recognize in their exchange that Viktor is going down a similar path that Singed did.
All we know in the Arcane universe about Singed is that he was once a scholar at Piltover academy, he and Heimerdinger were colleagues, and he had a daughter. We know that his experiments caused him to be ostracized from Piltover’s academic community for likely violating the Ethos. But with the existence of his daughter (hinted at being Orianna), we have to speculate how these factors played into his fall from grace. When did his research take priority over the suffering it caused? Shimmer certainly helps as a restricted medicine, but he doesn't care about the "side effects". Was he in a position where his work saved his daughter, but the decision destroyed his reputation? Does he believe that his work will unlock some new breakthrough of human understanding? Was it arrogance? Pure curiosity? Who really knows. What we do know is that Viktor could put himself in harms way, but in the case of Sky, could not sacrifice others.
And that's the thing about Viktor, he's willing to help himself at his at his own expense, but not at the cost of others. He genuinely wants to use Hextech to help others, but with his limited time left he realized how little he's managed to accomplish in Piltover, and when he does do something it's diminished (Heimerdinger). Viktor has achieved so much and helped so little with the Hextech he and Jayce created. And this must all eat at him because his ability to create things for himself and others is where he derives most of his self-esteem, his one true source of pride. Viktor may be the introverted one of the Hextech pair but his self-imposed restraint from attention is learned. He knows what people see when they look at him, worse so in Piltover. It's only when he's in his element is he willing to expose himself to others, it's how he was willing to partner with Jayce.
In the aftermath of Jinx's rocket, Piltover won't be hospitable to him any longer. Once his research on the Hexcore and dabblings in Shimmer come to light he will be cast out of Piltover (if they don't send him to Stillwater first). He wanted save himself with the Hexcore, in trying he killed Sky, and yet he couldn't destroy it after she died. He chose to attempt suicide, but he couldn't destroy his own work, because it's such a fundamental part of him. Viktor can only find justification in keeping his work alive, and he will in Zaun, where he will meet those suffering from injury and illness from Piltover's exploitation. The border between Viktor's conviction to help other vs how his engineering prowess makes up his sense of self worth will blur as he realizes he can help more people if he just keeps pushing. From what I understand the Machine Herald takes on prophet-like status within Zaunite cults, that Viktor does and does not embrace at times. He will push past a point of no return, he'll just do it with the greater good in his mind.
Ekko & Heimerdinger
Tumblr media
These two are the latest arrivals. Honestly, they’re the oddest pair. A former Piltovan councilman and a young Zaunite community leader working together and learning from each other. Two people who helped create something amazing in the face of a crisis, Heimerdinger built Piltover to escape the Rune Wars, while Ekko founded the Firelights as a refuge from the Shimmer epidemic. Heimerdinger and Ekko meet because Heimerdinger’s been ejected from the council and has decided to finally visit the neglected half of the city he co-founded. He meets an injured Ekko by chance and helps him back to the Firelight’s Hideout where he’s amazed at what they were capable of building for themselves. It’s supposed to represent Ekko finding a new ally as connects with people who want to help Piltover and Zaun, while Heimerdinger is righting wrongs working with people in Zaun to hopefully improve things.
Even though we see that Ekko has managed to become a leader to a close knit and dedicated community, he’s had to grow up abruptly to meet the brutality of Silco’s reign. Despite having a community of his peers, based on his reaction to Vi’s hug, he hasn’t been able to find comfort and support in an adult figure in a long time. In theory someone like Heimerdinger, who’s persona screams gradfatherly figure, could be a source of emotional support that he’s been missing for so long (depending if his biological parents alive, the status of which is apparently a spoiler). But the glaring flaw in that idea is that Heimerdinger has consistently failed people throughout the story.
Tumblr media
If we can briefly sidestep the way Heimerdinger’s leadership over 200 years has led to rampant inequality and a militarized police force meant to harass half of his city’s inhabitants, there’d still be Viktor. Sure Heimerdinger gave Viktor the position as his assistant at the prestigous Piltover Academy, but Viktor not only earned it, but was frustrated with it. Heimerdinger wasn't offering Viktor him new opportunities, just the frustration of administrative work. They likely knew each other for years, so when Viktor diagnosis gave him less than a year left, how does he comfort him. By telling him he won't be remembered after putting the breaks on his projects meant to help the half the side of the city constantly being poisoned like Viktor was.
We know characters will change next season so I can see Heimerdinger realizing he could do more for the people of Zaun with Ekko's help and understand urgency over caution more. I can see Ekko finding an adult to finally let in and help him. I can see it because Arcane as a series doesn't seem to investigate the power dynamics between Piltover and Zaun too deeply. Maybe Heimerdinger will offer him and all his friends admission into Piltover Academy to keep them safe, and he'll refuse for himself similar to his League origin story. Heimerdinger would still think that Piltover and Zaun could remain united through some flexible compromise, because he never looks at the root of the problem, which is Piltover.
Some theorize that when characters complete their arc, that's when they’re most likely to die. In Arcane, the most dangerous position to be in is when you care about someone and try to do the right thing, this show loves to kill characters for that. Ekko out of everyone is the one with the most to lose, especially people, so for him to vulnerable in this next season would lead to disaster. Ekko was already shot in the chest by Marcus after listening to Caitlyn and nearly blown up to save her and Vi. Then led Heimerdinger, a well known councilman, to his hideout. Frankly, it's in Ekko' best interest to distance himself from Heimerdinger because memories run long and resentment goes higher for Piltover, especially once they retaliate against Zaun. If it gets out Ekko has been surrounding himself with enforcers, a former councilman, a future councilman (Caitlyn), and a snitch (Vi), he's going to put his community at risk. Every time someone from Zaun tries to work with Piltover it's a disaster for the Zaunite, look at Vander and Silco. If he's going to risk himself and his community the consequences shouldn't be so one-sided. If Ekko is to survive next season either he needs to reject Heimerdinger’s ways or Heimerdinger has to change for Ekko to help Zaun for the better.
