In Viktors bio he always states that he and Jayce were never friends, that they fought constantly and that their fallout was bound to happen, but in Jayce's bio he talks about how Viktor is his only friend and the only guy who understood him, and how sad he was to fight him. It just lives in my mins rent free how differently they saw that point in their relationship.
Do you think Viktor really saw things that way in the begining or it's just something he convinces himself of because it's too much to bear otherwise? I can imagine him going to the extremes of rewritting his own memories so they don't feel even the slightest bit bittersweet, just painfull, just so he can move on.
(also, saw Pacific Rim and either this ship has rotted my brain or the two gay science bros in that movie are just LoL JayVik in a different timeline.)
I tend to lean toward the opinion that Viktor is an extremely unreliable narrator when it comes to telling his own story. It’s why I don’t believe him when he says he’s eliminated his emotions, at least not to the degree he claims to. And I do think he’s lying about his relationship with Jayce—whether he’s doing it to be cruel to Jayce with the old “oh you thought we were friends? That’s cute”, or if it’s because it’s painful and he’s protecting himself is a mystery we’ll probably never solve. And actually it’s probably a combination of both.
I’m not sure if he’d go to the extreme of rewriting his memories… that does sound like something he’d do, but… I don’t think his animosity toward Jayce would be nearly as strong as it is if he’d done that. So once again proving he’s an unreliable narrator—you say we’re all better off eliminating our emotions and yet you hold onto your hate because you think it makes you stronger? Okay king, go off I guess.
And while Giopara is a piece of work, I don’t see what cause he’d have to lie about his relationship with Viktor. Honestly, saying he and Viktor were friends only hurts his reputation, so being honest about it is a rare moment of vulnerability for him. And a lot of the voice lines from him and other characters seem to imply that Jayce is at least trying to be introspective, that he’s trying to change and be better; the one from Skarner has been living in my head since their release… “sensing grief and regret, Jayce.” ☹️☹️☹️ This is actually so sad to me, that Jayce just lives with a constant stream of grief and regret when it comes to Viktor. And that it’s there at the surface when Viktor isn’t even around? Sounds pretty gay my guy.
TLDR; yes they were friends, Viktor is a big ol’ liar who lies.

|| Jayvik Tickle Headcanons ||
Tumblr media
A/N: in the spirit of doing what I want, I decided to grant these fruity ass motherfuckers some tickle fluff. yes it is ooc but at least they're happy :,)
I use the words "you" in this list but that's just how my brain dialogue comes out fastest. the "you" is always meant to be jayce or viktor
This list is in the context that they are married, so if this isn't your ship, you might not like this list. oh and there's tickling but whatever
-----
- jayce and vik are both lee-leaning switches
- but viktor gets tickled slightly more often than jayce does; he's a grumpy cat man and needs the affection
- let's start with viktor:
- very very ticklish
- wasn't touched a lot throughout his life, so his skin is very sensitive
- a few skittering fingers can have him leaping out of his skin
- most ticklish spots are his underarms definitely. unfortunately his arms aren't super strong so while he of course does try to squeeze them shut to block the spots, it doesn't keep the ler out
- his ribs are his second worst. he's so skin and bones at this point that just massaging the bone through his skin has him laughing hard
- his laugh ranges from high-pitched chuckles to near-silent and breathy hiccups. jayce knows he's hit a jackpot when he hears the silent laugh
- idea from @tickly-trashcan that jayce will scoop viktor up and plop him on a counter so he can't escape his tickle attack
- tickly kisses are his kryponite
- viktor doesn't hate tickling but doesn't love it either. before he met jayce, he didn't like it at all. he thought it was undignified. he still does, but that's kind of the fun of it. what's the good in spending your life working if you don't let yourself play every now and then?
- will go along with it for the game of it or because he's simply too exhausted to fight back
- if he senses a tickle ambush coming, he'll start waving away his attacker (jayce) with his cane, threatening to bonk him with it
- i cannot communicate how cute of a lee he is. despite the cold exterior, he is a ticklish little puppy
- VERY squirmy. CANNOT stop squirming
- said it before but I'll say it again: ✨️ hiccup-laughter ✨️
- he doesn't like the fluffy kind of tickle teasing. if you must, go for snarky comments and sarcastic quips. that'll make him blush
- can't outrun his ler, so he's in deep shit when jayce is in a ler mood
- can't chase his lee either so escaping him is pretty easy
- which is why it's so sus when jayce still manages to get caught by him. almost makes one think jayce doesn't WANT to escape hmmmm???
- but back to viktor
- he is a shockingly good ler
- his hands have spent a lifetime delicately handling machinery so you know he's got some meticulous fingers
- very observant to what spots hit you the hardest
- teases you about possibly enjoying yourself because of how little you're trying to escape
- treats wrecking you like a scientific experiment. ("let's see what happens when I touch right... here" "hm. you seem to be very ticklish there. i will need to gather more data on this, for science, after all")
- remembers every one of your tickle spots. every single one.
- laughs with his lee. it's all just so silly and ridiculous ❤️
- NOW ONTO JAYCE:
- bro isn't as ticklish as viktor but he is fucking BAD
- also doesn't have as much self-control as viktor in order to hold his laughter in in time. (I can't tell you how many times he's accidentally been prodded and he's let out a laugh in the middle of a council meeting. in an otherwise quiet room. viktor teases him about this relentlessly)
- similarly to when gets caught sneaking into his lab, jayce is terrible at talking his way out of getting tickled. he panics and says the most random shit in an attempt to distract the ler for long enough to get away. viktor is unfortunately too smart for it and it never works
- laugh ranges from adorable little deep giggles to infectious belly laughter
- does actually enjoy being tickles him but is completely humiliated by it. trying to get him to admit it is like pulling teeth
- exaggerates to viktor how much he DOESNT love it and is JUST going with it to be a good sport
- ^ says the man who sits perfectly still while getting his shit wrecked
- teases that point out how much he's having fun fluster him BEYOND SPEECH. BITCH GOES NONVERBAL AT THAT SHIT
- hides his face when getting tickled, even if just a little bit
- poor boi is so embarrassed
- most ticklish spots are his sides, which make it super convenient for viktor to jab his the end of his cane into his side at any given time
- second worst spot are his feet
- in a tickle fight, viktor is the one to call mercy most of the time
- jayce has the advantage of not being crippled and ill 🤷‍♀️
- most ticklings between these two happen either when they're bored or restless in the lab or in bed as they're preparing to sleep
- jayce is not a great ler, but he loves to be one
- he is so addicted to making vik laugh to the point where it starts to get on viktor's nerves if he's trying to work
- jayce has SERIOUS ler moods. he doesn't know that's what they're called or that there's even a word for it, but they're there
- prefers to tickle with vibrations and squeezes
- teases viktor with things like "what was that? I can't hear you, can you speak up?" knowing damn well vik's laughing his lungs out
- ^ other oblivious and sarcastic teases are jayces specialty
- a very fast tickler. you think he's in one spot and then suddenly he's moved to another
- uses tickle hugs
- jayce first found out viktor was ticklish one late night at the lab when viktor refused to call it a night. jay tried bargaining with him to get him to go to sleep, but he wouldn't budge. exasperated, jay tried lifting him to bed, but when he pulled him up by his armpits, vik started to giggle and pull away. let's just say convincing viktor to sleep became a lot easier after that
- viktor learned jayce was ticklish a few weeks later. the latter was so enthralled in his notes that he hadn't noticed viktor was talking to him. after calling to him several times, vik hobbled over and jabbed him, right in his unprotected side. jay jumped in his chair with a half-laugh, half-yelp and asked vik what he needed, very flusteredly. viktor, amused, asked "what was that?" and proceeded to poke fun at him. jayce, absolutely mortified, wouldn't face him until he changed the subject.
- but they've both grown to appreciate the laughter filled moments they spend together ❤️

WHY CANT THEY BE HAPPY FOR ONCE?! 😭

Hey, can you write about arcane characters helping a reader who gets period cramps, sore muscles and dizziness? Thanks love
I'm going through all of this now so it feels like a good time to write this.
Pairing: Jinx, Vi, Caitlyn, Ekko, Silco, Sevika, Viktor, Jayce x Reader
Tags: fluff, comfort, period cramps, blood, cuddles, comfort food, massages, soothing kisses
A/N: The Talia profile pic tells me you have taste. Very nice.
Tumblr media
Jinx doesn't feel pain from it anymore due to Shimmer but she remembers what it used to feel like so she's always very doting on you when it's your time of the month.
She tries to make you as comfortable as possible, moving pillows and blankets anywhere you want them so you feel cozy. Cuddles are a must, as are lots of words of affirmation. She will also try to take your mind off the pain by talking softly in your ear and giving you on occasional kiss if you want it.
"Ya need anything sugar? Ya sure you got everything? How about now? Yes I know it's only been a few minutes, but I can't help myself. Ya know I hate to see ya in pain. A kiss it is then, but don't hesitate to tell me if ya need anything else."
Tumblr media
Vi has spent most of her teenage years in prison so she sure as hell knows the struggles of a messy period. She doesn't want you to go through that so she stocks up like crazy.
She might be going overboard but she wants to make sure you have absolutely all of the necessities. Doesn't want you to move much if it makes you sick or if you don't feel like it so she's more than happy to carry you. While she does so she sneaks in a few kisses and eventually a nice, long massage to help you relax and help with your sore muscles.
"What's wrong sweet stuff? Ah, you're on your period. Good thing I already bought everything you needed. No I'm not paranoid about it, I just want you to have everything you need. You need my hands? I mean we can but it's gonna be really messy. Oh! You meant for a massage! Haha, sure, I can do that."
Tumblr media
When you're on your period you need to keep Caitlyn away with a bat. She's very nurturing and will pamper you to no end, especially when it gets really bad.
She has a warm bath ready for you every night so you can relax before sleep. She will stay with you if you want or she'll leave you alone if that's what you need at the moment. But will cuddle with you afterwards, you don't even need to ask her.
"I got the bath ready for you darling. Do you want me to bring you something to eat while you wash up? Something sweet like me? Why thank you, but I think you're far sweeter."
Tumblr media
It's a little hard for Ekko to get and split all the necessary supplies for you but that's why he makes those kinds of errands before hand. He regularly checks up on you to bring you snacks.
There's a lot that he feels like he needs to do for you, but you're just happy to have him close. He's always looking make you more comfortable but he's aware that it might be somewhat limited. That being said there's no end to his words of love and affection, not to mention the soft but firm touches and massages to help you out.
"Are you sick Firefly? Oh wait, it's your period isn't it? Let me check if we have everything. Yup all good here. Now then, you just relax and let me do everything for you today. Or if you want we can take a little walk, maybe some air will help you feel refreshed."
Tumblr media
Silco has seen his fair share of blood in his life so there's no way you're gonna gross him out or that he's gonna leave you alone when you're in pain.
Since he can't be with you all the time he makes sure you have all the items, food and medicine that you'll need. After he's back home there's no shortage of kisses and cuddles if you're feeling touch starved. That and he might get a little suggestive and touchy because he knows it can help release stress and ease your pain.
"I'm not gonna be here for the evening darling, are you sure you have everything? I can have something brought in if you need. Hmm, alright, but you know you're never a bother right? If you need something you can come into my office any time."
Tumblr media
At first Sevika is pretty surprised that you're in such a bad shape. That being said she won't leave you feeling unwanted or not cared for. She starts taking mental notes of all your cravings and needs as they differ from her own, she's always on the move even when on her period.
One thing that she does show you is her workout routine. She's aware that you might not be in your top shape but a little sweating and a warm bath afterwards really do wonders for you.
"Whoa there sugar lips, what going on, you look like hell. Your period? It's that bad. Huh, I just kind of power through mine. The Shimmer also helps, but I'm not gonna get you hooked on that. So what do you need, I'll make a quick supply run. After that we can spar a little. Trust me it helps a lot, get's your adrenaline pumping and after that the bath's gonna feel like heaven."
Tumblr media
Viktor is a very booksmart man so he knows a lot in theory but he gets a little scared when you're actually on your period. He doesn't want to make you feel more uncomfortable than you already are.
He always gives you kisses on your forehead or your cheek when he passes you by. There's no shortage of cuddles and he very quickly memorizes your favorite foods and drinks, as well as your monthly schedule so he's never taken by surprise by it.
"Oh, it's that time again isn't it darling? I see, I'll talk about getting shorter hours at the lab for the next few days. It's no problem, I want to spend time with you."
Tumblr media
Jayce grew up with his mom so he's very familiar with the things you need when you're on your period. He's not good with the sight of a lot of blood but it's different when you're also in pain.
You can expect a lot of frequent massages, neck and shoulder kisses and words of affirmation from him. He's happy to cut his work hours shorter, especially if he knows you need him there with you instead.
"It's alright babe, I'm more than happy to be here with you. Now tell me, is there anything you need, I'd be happy to make you anything you want. How about a massage then, you're always telling me I have great hands."

Hello Cinamun! I wanna start off by saying I love your blog very much, and your story is my favorite on Tumblr so PLEASE don’t block me!! But, I have to wonder if you’re starting to add drama just for chaos sake? We’re still in the middle of all the stuff with Dira/Ryker/Rah that’s unresolved, and now Jayce, who we’ve only seen as loyal and honest is gonna have an affair? It just feels like a bit too much. Can anyone be happy and secure for once? Does everyone have to go through pain and struggle every time? Hope is dealing with grief while being a first time mom of twins, and I have a soft spot for her so maybe I’m biased but I think she deserves a happily ever after. Black women deserve peace and happiness, along with all the BS we go through, there’s room for both. I really appreciate you as a writer. I just don’t want you to feel like you have to give us non-stop trauma just to keep up with the story.
Hey friend! Thank you for the kind words. But now, let us ask ourselves some questions, shall we?
"and now Jayce, who we’ve only seen as loyal and honest is gonna have an affair? It just feels like a bit too much."
Firstly....
Tumblr media
Why do you think this man is going to have an affair? Why do you automatically assume that? ESPECIALLY after all of the qualifiers you gave him. Its only too much if you're *making* it too much.
Hear me out....
If you're new here, yes, it might seem like "too much" so I ask, too much of what, specifically? Implication? Subtext? Friend, that is THEE best part of writing. Your head is spinning so when and IF a shoe drops, you never see it coming. So again, "too much" of what, specfically?
"Can anyone be happy and secure for once? Does everyone have to go through pain and struggle every time?"
Nope, you're not new here and I can tell because you started with "please don't block me" so you MUST know that I get your second question all the time. So you're not new here you just rebranded to fucking troll me, and I hate that, but I'm gonna entertain you while I wait for my flight.
If you think pain and struggle is coming because Jay ran into a student in a coffee shop on campus, you need to ask yourself why you assume there will be "pain and struggle" every time. I enjoy mindfucking you, it might not be painful or a struggle but you might be shook and question your life choices when I'm done.
As for your last few sentences, I am a Black woman so I write about the experiences of Black women. You're anon so I don't know if you're a Black woman, I don't assume the identities of my readers.
Myself and a bunch of IDENTIFIED Black women readers have been over this topic already, about Black women deserving joy and our happily ever after. It is absolutely true that we do. So for you to assume the characters in this story wont get their happily ever after because they are Black women says more about you than it does about me as an author and Black woman.
Initially I was going to block you because if you want happy shit in every plot, every arc, you can find that on other blogs. I write real shit. I don't sugar coat a gotdamn thing. But I decided to just let you make the decision of unfollowing me if its "too much" for you. I am actually writing what I like to write about and if that's non-stop trauma then so be it. If people don't like that then its on them to stay or go. Fortunately, I am NOT writing non-stop trauma and anyone who feels like that clearly isn't reading the same story as the rest of the room.
Would you like your wings to go?

Hi! Thank you for my last request! It was so gorgeous! You have golden hands! Can I make another one? Here's an idea. Jinx, Vi, Caitlyn and Viktor x Female!Reader, who has a pet red fox. She bought it on a fur farm. Thus, she saved the life of a little fox. Thank you very much!
(Hey! Sure I can, sorry this took a while lmao but Enjoy!)
Jinx, Vi, Cait & Viktor x Fox Owner Reader
Jinx
Tumblr media
She loves your red fox
From the minute she laid her eyes on it she fell in love with it
She wants it
She did get it
She always has it with her no matter what
It probably likes her better than you
But who can tell it’s wrong?
Who wouldn’t like Jinx better
She likes how you saved the fox’s like
It tells a bit about you and that you do love this animal
If you named the fox something she didn’t have input it
I'm so sorry but she’s either changing the name 
Or giving a silly nickname
She probably always has it in her lap
(She always does)
Or is following it wherever it wanders off
“Where are you going, Jinx?”
“I don’t know but TumTum knows.”
The fox loves her back just as much
She suggests that you guys go back to the fur farm and release all the animals
Well, you release the animals while she has a few “Words” with the owners
She likes messing with Silco with the fox
The man surprisingly doesn’t hate the fox
Don’t be surprised if you come home to find the fox on Jinx’s head
At her work desk
Both with goggles on
So still
And Jinx is making whatever the fuck she is
Just slowly back away and let them
Vi
Tumblr media
Vi at first wasn’t very big on animals
Not that she didn’t like them
She just never had any or didn’t really think she would ever get one
If she did it would probably be a dog
But when she got together with you and found out you had a red fox
She didn’t really question it
Just accepted the thing as her fur baby
They watch TV shows just sitting on the couch
The fox likes sitting on her arm 
She acts like she hates it but the fox messed with her hair so much
She loves it secretly, she wouldn’t say it though
She makes sure it has whatever the fuck it needs
She likes that you saved it’s life from a fure farm
She didn’t know what a fur farm was
But when you explained to her and told her
She felt bad for the other ones there if they were still there
She seriously suggests going back and getting them all
The next day you woke up with many animals in your living room
Vi just walks in with so many on her arms, head and some clinging to her legs
“So, I may have done a thing-”
She has a proud grin on her face %100
She tried okay?!
Caitlyn
Tumblr media
She always really liked animals
Any type of animals
She had seen many, many animals before in Piltover 
She always loved each and every one of them
She really loves your red fox
She makes sure that little thing has ANYTHING it needs
Does it need food?
Caitlyn will take care of it
When she is upset with you she gets the fox
Not to take it
No, no
She would never
But just to go
“I just want you to know, we’re both highly disappointed in you.”
With the fox in her arms as she just stares at you
The fox is a smug mf
Wanna know why?
Because whenever you and Caitlyn are together
Que the furry wife stealer coming to squish in the middle of you and be in her lap
IT KNOWS WHAT IT’S DOING
Because it gives the smuggest face ever
Caitlyn doesn’t see if but you do
She hated fur farms even before she got with you and met your fox
She probably also took the pets from there whatever way you did yours
Now you guys have a little farm 
Tobias is a fan, her mother will just need some convincing
Viktor
Tumblr media
Viktor always did like red foxes
He had seen a great deal of them in the Undercity growing up
There was one that followed him around when he was a kid that he loved
And it looked just like yours so he loves it so much
He wholeheartedly also despises fur farms
Feels so bad for the animals there
He will take the fox with him wherever he can
Which is the story on how Jayce got a new lab partner
He is the mascot of the lab now
Has his own station and work uniform
Viktor likes holding him
Because the fox is warm
There have been a handful a times you have come home to see the fox peeping out of Viktor’s shirt
Because it was cold and shimmied it’s way up his shirt
They were just watching TV and both snapped their heads to you when you walked in
It was amazingly funny
“Oh, hello dear.”
“Why is the fox up your shirt?”
“We were cold.”
The funny part is there was a blanket right there
They just chose to ignore it
The fox has accepted Viktor as it’s human father
Has also rejected you now
I’m kidding, I’m kidding
But yeah it has a favorite
And their name started with V and ends with an R

tell us more ur thoughts on marcus arcane? i can send more specific qs if that helps
thank you :)
hello anon! feel free to send any questions, because at this point, marcus arcane is my chew toy, and i mull over him likely the most after mel. i simply cannot be normal about him.
so i just reblogged the character motivation sheet for jayce, and i really believe that marcus is parallel to jayce. how so, gentle, you may wonder. i'm so glad you asked. what marcus wants most seems to be the ability to keep piltover safe, and to fill the shoes that grayson left behind. we see this in act one, where he follows her religiously, acts in ways for HER best interest because that is how much he loves and respects grayson. AND LET ME PAUSE HERE BECAUSE!!!! WHEN EVERYTHING GOES DOWN AND GRAYSON DIES IN FRONT OF HIM AND SILCO THROWS HIM THE MONEY... and he says this wasn't the deal. JUDAS ISCARIOT!!! iykyk (and if you don't know i will soon be making a set so you see. so you understand). also... the fact that he kept the coin that was encrusted with grayson's blood. as a reminder. marcus,,,,,, baby boy... anyways. let me continue.
I think it's also important to realize that this is likely when he becomes sheriff, seeing as he was grayson's protege. AND THIS IS ANOTHER THING. he and caitlyn were both proteges of grayson. and i believe part of him hates caitlyn, because he realized, in the end that he was a fool, just as grayson had said. that caitlyn was somehow bringing more change/peace than he could. and here's where i strongly believe that if grayson had been around longer, died later, marcus would have been completely passed over as sheriff and the job would have gone to caitlyn, if it had been up to grayson.
ANYWAYS. so then, timeline's a little fuzzy, but i think the year grayson died was the year marcus became a father. after the time skip, i estimate ren to be about 6-7 years old, which means that marcus' main motivation had switched from continuing grayson's legacy to keeping his daughter safe. again, how can we tell? during the funeral for the enforcers, where he's talking of the enforcers protecting mothers, fathers, sons. the camera zooms in to focus on marcus as he mentions daughters.
AND THEN. when he meets with silco, sees the bomb and envisions himself pulling the trigger, and killing both himself and silco. yeah, that scene lives in my head rent free. marcus has always been ready to be the marytr, and i believe, already he considers himself one. the only reason he does not, i think, because then his daughter, ren, would have no one else. i think silco sees he is losing marcus that day, and that is why he turns up to marcus' house, ren's room. and marcus' face when he sees her with him.... people died. (it's me, i am people). it breaks him because the only reason he has remained under silco's thumb, is his desire to protect this daughter, despite the fact that doing so corrupted him.
and then when he holds the gun at caitlyn, he cannot bring himself to pull the trigger. why? WHY can't he pull the trigger? perhaps because of grayson's memory? or perhaps does he think of his daughter in that moment. does he remember that she is someone's daughter too. like, marcus isn't a killer. it's not what he does. he had the opportunity to kill vi, but didn't. he could have killed cait, but again, he didn't. in any case, she does not end up dying, and it is marcus who dies instead.
WHAT ARE HIS LAST WORDS?????????? "Tell my daughter..." I love her. we never get to hear him say it, but we know. we know because after all, everything marcus has done is protect his daughter. to give her safety, and a home. she was his reason for living, and she becomes his undoing, too. he's just a man who was doomed by the narrative before he'd even begun. and in the end, he failed to protect his daughter. i really hope that next season, we get to see marcus' daughter, that caitlyn tells ren that her father loved her.
anyways. if you read this far, kudos to you. if you have any further questions about him feel free to drop them on me.

A/N: honestly, I almost made these two different parts but eh. why not put it together? Jayce is such a people pleaser. But he's so sweet. They had to move in together sometime. Thank you, guys, for putting up with my brain rot with this precious little AU
TW: None. Really sweet, I think. Domestication of the wild feral scientist.
Word count: 2124
Tumblr media
Silently, you set the cup of coffee beside the slouched figure next to you, stifling a smile. Whispering his name, you nudge his side gently, snickering at his grumbles after you as his head lifts just enough to narrow his eyes at you.
“Dove,” he grouches, despite the sweet nickname he has bestowed upon you. “I am tired, please allow me the chance to rest before Jayce gets back. I am out of coffee.” you just grin, pushing the mug towards him lightly, watching his eyes widen slightly.
“I know, i brought you some,” taking a sip of your own, you watch him drag the mug to his lips much quicker than you would deem safe. After taking a long drink, he sets it down, looking infinitely more satisfied. 
“Are you not supposed to avoid coffee while pregnant?” he eyes you slightly, fussing over you as he has since you told him. Normally, you would hate it, but for some reason… as long as it is him, you find you dont mind it as much. 
“What? Not thank you before launching into chastising me?” you tease, setting your mug down, allowing him to see inside. Sighing, he leans over to peer into your mug, sniffing it a bit. Ginger tea.
“Thank you,” you just nod, but his gaze does not drop from you hesitating as he taps the lip of your mug. “Ginger helps nausea, yes?” again, you nod, tilting your head. He frowns.
“I’m okay, morning sickness. It’s normal.” you assure him. He looks unsure, but nods allowing it to drop. But he doesn't seem any more at ease. Sighing, you nudge him with your shoulder, gently. 
“Speak now, or forever hold your peace,” you joke, eyeing him. He just looks down at his mug, eyebrows furrowing in thought. “Hey, V, I was kidding,” his nose just scrunches a bit, twitching in a way that reminds you of a rabbit. 
“I am aware,” he sighs, leaning back in his seat before eyeing the lab door, as if waiting for someone to march through at that moment. “I just have much on my mind, that is all.” you pause, frowning.
“About work, or about the baby?” 
“Work and the baby,” he admits softly. “And you.” 
“Me?” he nods slightly, eyeing you out of the corner of his eye, fingers twisting his mug slowly. 
“Housing,” he offers, looking at you fully now. 
“I have an apartment,” he nods, the hesitancy settling into his eyes and the way his lips twitch.
“I am aware,” he starts. “And while I understand your need for your independence” he is eyeing you unsure, licking his lips nervously. “Would you consider…”
“You want to move in together,” you cut him off as he struggles. Snapping his mouth shut, he nods, looking like a bit of a kicked puppy- though you're positive it has more to do with his nerves about asking you to “give up freedom” than you cutting off his highly uncharacteristic stammering. 
“Yes,” mulling it over for a moment, you pick your mug back up to take a sip.
“I assume it would be closer to the lab,” you state, as if you had already made up your mind. His shoulders slouch a bit in relief.
“I… hoped so, but it is not a requirement. I do not plan to spend every moment in the lab, not now.” raising an eyebrow at him, you let him have the floor, motioning for him to continue- if he so wishes. Sighing, he shifts in his seat, suddenly uncomfortable but lifts his chin a bit, a soft smile gracing his face. “I plan to be there for you both… as much as possible. Shorter hours working and more rest would be beneficial to my work as well- a well rested mind.” you nod.
“Of course,” he huffs, nostrils flaring a bit at your teasing, but his smile grows.
“I wish to be there for you,” his voice is quiet, but in the silence of the lab, it seems to echo. “In any way that I am able-” he pauses, unsure. “Anyway you need me. I will do my best.” softening, you lean towards him, squeezing his fingers that have come to rest in his lap. 
“Seeing your face will help immensely,” you soothe his worries. “Most things will be done by…” you motion to your stomach with a grin. He snorts a bit, nodding. “But I would appreciate the help getting ready for her.” he sputters to a stop, eyes round in shock.
“Her?” his eyes flick between yours and your stomach, furrowing. “You know already?” you shake your head slightly, tilting your head to the side, watching him. He is fun to observe. 
“Not officially, call it… mother’s intuition.” 
“It can be wrong,” he is almost accusing you, and if you didn't know better, you swore you saw disappointment flood his eyes. Smiling softly, you nod. 
“It can be,” you admit. “You want a girl,” you observe gently, not accusing, but it is also not a question. Gapping to himself, you continue, grinning. “How many rooms?” 
“What?” His brain is still processing the fact that you are sure that you are having a girl, and realizing that yes, he does want a girl. Your grin just makes his eyes narrow.
“How many rooms in the home that we get?” 
“Houses are expensive-”
“You can afford it,” you tease. He snorts.
“Less to spend on the little one.” he teases back. You nod, contemplating, but you pause.
“Home is what you make it, Viktor… whether it is an apartment, or a house, it will be our home.” swallowing, you look down into your mug, wincing. “Home is the people you come back to- not the location that you live in.”  
Silence. 
“Minimum bedrooms would have to be two,” he states softly, tone almost tender. You nod, eyeing him playfully. 
“We would share?” you don't miss the twitch of his lips. 
“You didn't seem to be against sharing a bed with me once, I figured it wouldn't be quite eh… so bad.” at this, you laugh, nodding slightly. 
“Okay, do you have a place in mind?” Before Viktor can answer, another voice comes from behind you, startling you both- nearly leaping onto Viktor’s desk. 
“I found one,” Jayce is grinning, eyes shining with a sort of mirth you had previously only noticed in the quieter scientist. Hand resting over your chest, you huff, willing your heart to slow. 
“Jayce,” Viktor warns slowly, earning a sheepish grin from his best friend. 
“Sorry,” he chuckles, offering his hand to help you down from your half perch. “I was just excited.” laughing softly, you nod, taking his help down thankfully. “I can't wait to be an uncle.” 
“Uncle?” you tease, Viktor tries to hide his smile behind a rather forced reproachful look. 
“A title he has bestowed upon himself,” he muses, earning a half hearted fake offended look from Jayce. 
“I won't be?” Viktor pauses, but nods.
“I suppose having additional family can only be beneficial considering I have none to share,” he hums, looking at you. “And I unfortunately, am unaware of your family ties, as well.” shrugging a bit, your smile is weak.
“No family.” both pause. They had expected a parent at least. At this, Viktor nods, hand resting over yours gently. 
“Uncle it is,” he murmurs, going back to his notes. Jayce just about jumps out of his skin in excitement, bouncing around like an over excited golden retriever. “Though, Uncle's help set things up” at this you slap his hand with a snort. 
Passing the baton. 
As if reading your mind, he grins a bit, the rueful look enough to melt any slight agitation you had towards him. 
“I can not lift much myself, Dove.” he assures you. That tracks. Jayce is just nodding like a maniac, his head reminding you more of a bobblehead than that of a genius, his smile contagious as it splits his entire face.
“Anything you both need, just name it.” 
The walk is quiet, comfortable. You stay by Viktor’s side, matching his speed, using the opportunity to slow down, and have a good look around. The buildings here are a bit older, not shiny and new like those closer to the council building- the walls brown slightly with age, chipped paint curling in bluish spirals. Some of the houses are covered in vines, deep green stems swaying in the early afternoon breeze as Jayce paces before you both. 
Sighing, Viktor eyes you from his peripheral, gently nudging your foot with his cane as you pause to admire an overgrown rose bush. Humming softly, you look up at him slowly, pausing at how his eyes seem to melt in the sunlight, swirling like the honey whiskey your father used to drink. 
Janna, I hope our child has his eyes.
“Yes?” your voice is quiet, almost as if you're afraid to raise it in such a quiet area- breathless as you breath in the floral scents surrounding you. He softens visibly, shoulders slumping slightly as what you've come to realize is insecurity settles in his gaze. 
“Would you… would you not prefer to keep stride with Jayce?” he sounds unsure, eyes flicking to the ground, eyebrows pinching. “I do not wish to hold you back.” he startles a bit at your snort, the sound seeming to reverberate around you. 
“I prefer to keep pace with you,” you begin, straightening as you step before him, tilting his head with your finger to meet his eyes with a softness he's decided he can get used to. “I am not having a child with Jayce,” you laugh, running your thumb over the corner of his lips gently, noting the way his lips part slightly and the way he shivers slightly. “He can wait for us.” you conclude with a gentle squeeze of your fingers on his chin before dropping it. He just nods, flushing slightly. 
“Of course,” when you both turn back, Jayce is waiting patiently, hardly attempting to hide his smile at watching you both. 
“We’re almost there,” he assures you both, waiting for you to catch up without complaint. Nodding, you smile, fingers finding Viktor’s arm, trailing down to his wrist before giving a small squeeze without giving it much thought. When he looks at you, you are already looking at something else, your smile only growing as you come to recognize the area. You played here as a child. 
“I know it isn't much,” Jayce starts, coming to a stop before a house- tall but stable. There is dirt everywhere, something easily remedied. The windows are caked with dust and dirt, but at least they don't need replacing right away. Looking over it slowly, you turn to Jayce, smiling. He looks nervous, shifting from foot to foot. 
“How many rooms?” you ask gently, patting his arm as you slip past him to the door. He grins, handing over the key, allowing you to open it yourself as you shoulder in, covering your face to avoid the plumes of dust that fill the air once the door swings open.
“Three,” he offers, looking in over your shoulder, only moving once Viktor pokes him with his cane- a quiet reminder that he, too, is here to see the home. 
The walls are bare, a few spots where the sheetrock had been torn open- the ceiling caving slightly. You can see through to other rooms in some places. Dust coats everything, various older pieces of furniture pushed into various awkward positions clumsily covered with sheets. From the other side of the room, sun filters in through the wall of windows, illuminating the dust dancing in the air around you. 
You hum at the sensation of Viktor's hand wrapping around your hip, looking up at him happily. He is still looking around, but he seems content, his gaze wandering slowly until it meets your own. 
“There is much work to be done,” he observes, making Jayce look uncomfortable, opening his mouth to defend the space.
“Ill help-” he pauses at Viktor’s gaze, softer than he is used to, a smile on his face. 
“You’ll get your own study,” you offer, tugging on the bottom of his waist jacket gently. He chuckles, nodding. 
Jayce grins. “So can I start working on it now?” leaning forward slightly, you match his grin.
“Not alone,” Viktor raises an eyebrow. Scoffing, you swat his arm. “I won't push myself, nor will i do heavy lifting- but i can clean.” he nods.
“With proper safety precautions,” he agrees. Jayce laughs, clapping his hand down over his friend's shoulder. 
“Welcome home,” buzzing with excitement, you cling to Viktor’s arm, cheeks starting to sting from your smile. 
“Home.”

Cats or Dogs?
Which do the chacaters of Arcane prefer? The sometimes ferocious felines? Or the playful pups?
Let's find out shall we?
Vi
Now, Vi may be a lebsian, however she does not follow any rules and shes not about to start now. Violet would definately have two dogs. One would be a super cute, super fluffy fur baby. While the other would be some big bulky protecter. She loves both her dogs equally and they go everywhere with her. For her smaller dog she would have a littler carrier for when it gets tired. As for her "scary" dog, she would most likely get a breed with lots of stamina so they wouldn't have trouble keeping up as she runs through the streets of Piltover. Names. When it comes to names, Vi would be very basic. Something along the lines of Fluffy and Spike. Only theres one catch. Fluffy would big her big dog while Spike would most certainly be her small baby.
She had considered calling one her of dogs Naked or Nude just so she could watch people's faces turn to horror when she said "Let me just go get naked."
Vi's dogs are very well behaved.
Caitlyn
Caitlyn is not a rule breaker. However, this is not because she dislikes dogs or even because she prefers cats. Infact, Caitlyn likes both dogs and cats. But due to the nature of herself job, she tends to not have enough time to properly care for a dog.
She never planned to get any animal due to her job, but when she found Whisker scared and alone in the wreckage of a burned down building, she knew he needed a good home.
When whisker first came into Caitlyns care he had a few burns which she tried her hardest to take care of. And with the help of the cities finest vet, whisker healed up in no time at all.
Whisker was never overly loving unless it was on his terms. With that being said, he did like to stay close to his master. This worked rather well for Caitlyn because she could get on with her work and not have to worry about Whisker being upset.
Whisker does not like dogs but Vi's dog fluffy is his bestfriend. Hates all other dogs.
Whisker is not that well behaved and will scratch all the expensive furinture in the house with no cares. Caitlyn never tells him off because she loves him so much. Her mother on the other hand... is not a fan of the cat.
Jayce
We all already what Jayces would prefer. Thats right! Cats!
...
Hang on. Thats not right. Let's try that again.
Thats right! Dogs!
Jayce would have a golden retriever called Pumpkin or Blackberry. And both him and his dog are loyal until the end. Which causes Mel to comment on alike him and his pooch are.
Pumpkin/Blackberry are protective of her master. In fact, when Jayce and Mel had gotten into a partiularly heated argument, she wake up and placed herself between Mel and Jayce. Then she got into a defensive stance, bristled her fur and showed Mel her teeth. All whilst letting out a low warning growl.
Mel wasn't afraid of Pumpkin/Blackberry but she did leave while remarking that Jayce should teach his dog some manners.
"Maybe you should ask Vi for some advice? Even her dogs are better behaved than this."
Jayce wasn't mad Pumpkin/Blackberry he was fuming at Mel though for how they acted but he did secretly agree with Mel.
Pumpkin/Blackberry still has some training to go before she can be the best girl around.
Viktor
This little lab rat has never had the chance to own his own pet yet. But If he had to pick between the two. Well... He wouldn't be able to pick. Why you might be asking? Its obvious isn't it?
The reason Viktor wouldn't be able to pick between the two is simply because his heart belongs to his work. Yet, there is something about those scaly little reptiles that fascinates him.
Would probably have a chameleon if he were to have a pet
красота is the name he would pick. Meaning beauty in russian. According to google translate anyway.
Author's note
I think I'd like to do more of these random headcannons. Or just more random writing things. I do hope you enjoy this little scribble of mine. If anyone would like me to do this specific headcannon for any other Arcane characters do let me know! As always, stay safe, drink plenty of water and please do take care of yourselves. I love you all my little plumpkins.

Viktor x gn! Reader - The river meeting the ocean
A/n: I had to write for my guy here
Summary: You love Viktor, you love the idiot even if he doesn't see it. But what happens when he does?
Warnings: allusions of sex, some past abuse from people (it's not mentioned who or exactly what happened), crying, maybe unrequited love (idk go figure it out), swearing, kissing, I think that's it? You have been warned!
The three P's:
[Pronouns used: You/your] [Pov: 2nd person] [Pairings: romantic! Viktor x reader, platonic! Jayce x reader (he's literally only mentioned once I think)]
Tumblr media
"You know you don't have to bring me food." Viktor muttered under his breath, just loud enough for you to hear with an almost annoyed look on his face as he frowned slightly.
Rolling your eyes you place the tray of food in front of him, interrupting any work he's been doing. Practically forcing him to actually take care of himself and eat.
"Ya, and if I didn't do that and force you out of the lab to sleep you would be dead." You deadpanned as Viktor stubbornly glared at his food as if it were the enemy. As if eating food would be starting a war.
And Viktor is undeniably stubborn.
Yet one look from you, he picked up his fork and started eating.
Your face relaxed a bit once he did, and a small smile was bestowed on your lips. Relief coursed through you like a title wave as you were incredibly worried for the scientist as he never took care of himself enough. Though you would never admit it out loud.
You go to leave the laboratory as you've seen your job done but Viktor's voice stops you in your tracks.
"Y/n, please don't come with food again, I- ah, I don't want your pity."
Your chest is filled with rage and your hands fists but you know, you know it's not necessarily his fault. You've had problems all your life with loving people, that doesn't mean it's Viktor's fault why you're so in a rage. He doesn't know, and with the way people often treat him you shouldn't be so surprised yourself he's asking this of you. In truth your logical side of your brain is completely surprised he didn't ask you of this sooner.
You've had people in the past who told you you loved too fiercely. That you were too much to bare and that you needed to quote on quote; "tune it down."
So you learned to stop showing your love for people and in this moment it makes you want to scream.
Because Viktor doesn't get it, he really doesn't. His intelligent golden eyes with all his observing still can't seem to grasp it and it kills you. Seeing as you don't want him to feel like you're 'too much,' but it seems like he isn't getting that you love him - because you love him more than the moon and stars combined.
You love him more than you love your favorite food, you love him so much you want to scream from the rooftops and hug him to death and just tell him; "You're fucking amazing."
But you won't, it would be too much.
Yet you can't help but snap at him; "I wouldn't be doing it if I didn't want to Viktor, I feel no pity for you."
And that was true, because when you pitted someone you thought of them as beneath you. Although if you were to hate or love, (you were the latter) it meant that you saw them as an equal.
"Then why do these things for me? Why... Why would you help me if you don't-"
Oh Viktor, you're nearly as oblivious as Jayce!
"Because I love you, you insufferable fool!" You hiss at him as you finally turn around to face him - to look him in the eyes and finally spill out your love confession because you rather he know that you thought of him as an equal rather than someone above him.
And perhaps your heart was leading you, (or maybe it was your anger issues, who knows.)
Quickly though, your face contorts into a horrified expression at what you just did as Viktor's beautiful face turns into one of shock.
You're hand lands on the door handle and you pull it open faster than you have ever in your life and sprint out of the room before Viktor can even get in a word.
Good thing too, because in your mind he didn't have anything good to reply to that confession.
If only you knew how wrong you were.
_______________
You locked yourself in your room, you hadn't come out in hours as you had been a bit preoccupied crying and moping around.
You couldn't believe what you had just done, you had just confessed a couple of hours ago. You could have possibly salvaged the friendship between the two had you maybe stayed to explain yourself. But no! You just ran away like the coward you truly are.
A new fresh wave of tears came bursting down your cheeks, forcefully taking control of your body as you shook and sobbed. How could you be so dumb?
Covering your mouth you tried to calm yourself because deep breaths obviously were not working at the moment so you tried to hold your breath instead. It didn't work and you just sobbed more in despair as your cries escaped your lips.
Then there was a knock on your door.
You didn't know who the fuck was at your door right now but you were going to strangle them.
Perhaps if you just didn't answer they would go away, you closed your eyes and calmed yourself trying to make as little as noise as possible.
There was another knock on the door.
Damn, they were persistent.
You were sure your hair looked like a mess, and your clothes looked crumpled, as well as your face probably had tear streaks down your cheeks, with red rimmed eyes and a snotty nose from weeping but you didn't care.
You were going to rain hell on however decided to disturb you.
Stomping over to the door you rip it open with a force of a elephant. Anger raided all around you and your dark expression certainly relayed a message.
They were going to regret ever knocking on your door.
When you did open it though, the face of Viktor is revealed to you and like a child... You slam it right on his face.
"For fu- Y/n I did not walk all the way up here for you to not even speak to me!" Viktor bangs his fist against the door.
You didn't reply, you didn't know how to reply.
It's silent for a few seconds before there's an audibly loud sigh and you think Viktor lets his head fall onto the door as he whispers desperately; "Please, just let me in."
One, two, three seconds debating with yourself, screaming at yourself to just leave it close, to avoid further embarrassment. Before opening the door, because you couldn't deny the stupid man anything.
Viktor had no idea just how much power he had over you, with a single word you would burn the world down for him if he told you too. Yet you would disobey every word of his if it was vital to save him.
His figure is revealed to you and he limps into the room, very obviously tired since it is a pretty long way to these parts of the dorms.
It's quiet, as both of you struggle with what to say before Viktor throws his hands into the air and pulls you towards him and kisses you firmly on the lips.
It's like a river finally meeting the ocean for the first time, it's like taking a sip of water when you're dying of thirst.
Then he pulls away and you know you want more than just a sip.
You pull him back in and your lips shift together sloppily, nothing like what you've been told it's like to kiss someone. If somebody were to walk in right now you're not quite sure they'd know you guys were even kissing both of you were so bad at it. It probably looked like you were devouring each other at best.
But that was the truth wasn't it? As you stumbled back onto your bed with him underneath you, you realized you were devouring each other. Yet you've been starving for so long you think you might you just deserve each other.
When you both withdraw your foreheads are still touching as you breathe heavily trying to catch your breaths. Viktor couldn't even open his eyes as he kept them closed as the sensation of your lips on his replayed in his brain.
Then you realized you were straddling him and that probably wasn't very good for his leg.
"Shit Viktor your leg-" You go to move but he pulls you back down with his hands on your hips.
"Don't, it's fine."
Suddenly the entire situation dawns on you and a small chuckle leaves your throat before you explode into giggles letting your head rest on Viktor's shoulder.
"How are we adults?"
Viktor can't help but join in on the laughter at your comment nodding his head.
"I really do love you."
Titling your head you observed his face, as your hands traced it. From his dark brown hair, to his golden eyes, all the way to his sharp jaw line until you cupped his cheeks.
"I love you more than I thought possible, you- you impossible man. You make me want to slap you and kiss you all at once. I love you so much I demanded that the stars listen to my pleas. Viktor I-" Your voice cracked and tears filled your eyes for the second time that day.
For a moment Viktor is silent and you fear that familiar pan of "you were too much," come over you. And you wonder if maybe you really were.
"Sorry was that too much?" You ask, voice groggy with tears in the back of your throat.
Viktor shakes his head and kisses your face. "Never is it too much, Y/n L/n I wish you would suffocate me with your beautiful words and loving actions."
"What? Like; Viktor you're so fucking amazing we should plot world dominance together?"
He laughs, and of course it's gorgeous. You didn't think it was humanly possible for a laugh to be gorgeous but of course Viktor would be the only human alive to have a gorgeous laugh.
He does end up staying the night, and he ends of being late to work the next morning and Jayce is wondering if you two finally got together.

was ranking netflix icons with my brother today and as we were looking at the arcane icons i asked him if he has seen the show.
”of course not.”
”why not?”
”it’s about fucking league of legends. i’ve never played that game.”
and i was just like. ok.
—————
UPDATE:
Forced him to watch the first episode with me because i’m annoying af
He said it was fine, he was excited to recognize some of the voice actors. I asked him if he’d like to watch more at some point and he said yes.
So it’s going great! I love being the annoying older sister who wants to share everything
—————
UPDATE 2:
Took a while to get him to watch it but we successfully finished ep 2. He thought it was okay but slow and that it was too repetitive and that not much happened.
He's 100% sure Viktor is evil and he can't understand how everyone around him doesn't instantly see it. Especially since his eyes are yellow (kingdom hearts fans will get it)
He does not like Heimerdinger because a) he looks like he's from a completely different show and b) he hates his name, he said that it sounds like a last name they would use on the simpsons to mock the character
He's so happy about mylo because he's voiced by yuri lowenthal
He says that Jayce looks way too old to be 24
"There's no way Vander will survive this season. Don't know if they're going to kill him off right away or if he's going to die in the last episode. An older mentor who is also kinda responsible for the deaths of the sisters' parents, yeah he's definitely going to die."
—————
UPDATE 3:
We finished ep 3. Sadly, I can tell that he's not really feeling it, not sure why :/ don't know if we're going to keep watching or not, only time will tell.
But here are some of his thoughts about the episode anyway:
My brother said he hopes Heimerdinger gets robbed. He said he hopes he gets robbed multiple times during the show.
Looking at Vi and Powder: "How can these poor people afford to constantly dye their hair"
About Jayce and Viktor and their experiment: ”…so what have they achieved exactly? 😐” THEY WERE FLOATING IN THE AIR AND HE WAS NOT IMPRESSED LMAO
Mel: The era of magic. / Jayce: The era of Hextech. / My brother: Magic sounds better.
"Is she hugging him? Can’t she just look at his face and tell that he’s evil, it’s so obvious. But I guess not, clearly she really is that stupid. [I remind him that Powder is still very young] I would get it if she was like 4, but she’s at least 9. Does she not realize he tried to kill her whole family?"
”They really just killed off like 80% of the characters. No one else is left except for Silco and the sisters. And the council members but I don’t really know them yet. [I remind him that Ekko is still alive] Oh right! They’re not going to kill him, he’s too young.”
”Nothing happened in episode 2 and everything happened in this one.”

Thinking of writing a fanfic from Blitzcranks pov over the MH/Defender conflict years because it has a lot of angst potential but also because it'd be so funny like it's a ton of scrap metal put together and it's been alive for 8 hours and IT ALREADY KNOWS YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH YOUR ENEMY HOW ARE YOU FUCKING UP THIS FEELING HIDING STUFF SO BADLY????
This is actually such a great idea!!! Like Blitz is capable of seeing things from an objective POV, and objectively, they’re like… bruh, you are obsessed with this guy, what’s up with that??
Would be really cool to read a story from Blitzcrank’s POV! Writing how they think could be a really fun experiment. Could mess with form and dialogue, sorta like coding commands? And yeah, too much of that could be exhausting, but just every once in a while, throwing in like… a computing sequence? An if/then command?
=IF (Maker hates Jayce, why expend so much time and energy on him?)
=THEN (Maker does not hate Jayce. Maker… still loves Jayce? More information needed.)
But they are also able to read Viktor’s defensiveness on the subject, so mostly they just keep it to themselves, all the while knowing these two emotionally constipated saps are down bad for each other. Poor Blitz.

CaitVi headcanons for paths cross, tangle into each other
Caitlyn:
Before Caitlyn meets Vi, she's very lonely. She has friends, but none are very close except Jayce. Meeting Vi and bonding with a bunch of misfits helps her become a fuller, more real person
She definitely knows she's gay, but doesn't date much during college claiming that she's “just too busy” (and yet you find time to hang out every weekend with Vi huh)
She knows that her and Vi have something in the back of her head- an us or a we, she just doesn’t think much about it until this fic
More specifically, she doesn't think about it until after Vi asks to lay in her lap at her apartment and she experiences something very LGBT
More under the cut (including Vi):
Her parents are very loving and supportive of her and Vi, but it was hard to get them to stop making distasteful comments about Vi for a bit when they were first introduced
Cait moves into a studio apartment like ASAP when starting college to get away from her parents and it helps their relationship
Jayce is her closest friend until Vi (as he is in the show), but sometimes Jayce invites Cait to do shit with him, Mel, and Viktor because he's trying to get Caitlyn to be more social haha. They all eventually grow closer, especially with Vi is added to the mix
Cait gets along with Powder but Powder still scares her/confuses her sometimes lmfao
The first time she tried her favorite tea was the first day she and Vi met. And yes that's why it's her favorite tea, even if she won't admit it
Cait is very touchy; she cuddles with her parents sometimes even as an adult and is very touchy with Vi, even in the stages of their relationship that were purely platonic. She introduces Vi to the idea of mutual touch between friends and that it can be a safe and nice thing. In retrospect this was kind of fruity of her tho bc how would she know? Its not like she bothers with Jayce lol
Caitlyn really likes taking care of Vi. Hence making her dinner constantly lol. She likes that Vi trusts her and tries often to show Vi that she is trustworthy
I'm autistic and I ended up making Caitlyn kind of autistic in this fic too? I asked my sister if that was bad and she told me that Cait is a little autistic in the show, so what's the harm, really.
Vi:
Vi acts like a fuckboy a lot of the time but she really isn't. She feels very vulnerable much of the time and occasionally expresses it, though mostly to Caitlyn
Vi is kind of a hustler in this fic; she works hard during her bachelor’s and works at the pub with Vander. She's probably just as busy as Cait but doesn't make it a part of her personality the way Cait does lmfao
Vi is a caretaker at home, the same way she is in the show, and takes that role pretty seriously. But because Cait is so self-sufficient, she lets herself have a little more fun around Caitlyn, and encourages Caitlyn to have more fun around her as well. Which is why she's so fucking annoying to her (rip Cait)
Vi has a few casual relationships/hook ups here and there during college but they don't last very long and a few girls back away as soon as they notice Cait’s presence in Vi’s life lol. They caught a vibe
Vi is usually the giver sexually but idk. Cait does something to her that makes her SO babygirl so Vi ends up being a switch when she and Cait start dating
I didn't really get into it during the fic but Vi and Powder were orphaned, adopted by Silco (who eventually gets arrested on drug charges) and then adopted by Vander
Vi was probably incarcerated for punching someone who was being a dick to Powder near the time Vander adopted them, but it was only for a few months or something. 
Vi fucking hated high school and school in general, but she appreciates the shit out of Vander and decided to work hard in night classes for him. She finds out she is smart if she tries and goes to uni on scholarship.
This is how I justify her being at uni with Caitlyn lmao, in any other situation I would have had her just do cars like she originally wanted. But I thought it'd be nice for her to prove to herself that she was smart!!!! Do something selfish 
Vi tried therapy around the same time Powder did and did really bad at it lol. She Did Not like opening up to a stranger. Therapy was much more successful for Powder. At some point she and Caitlyn meet though and Vi never ends up seeing a therapist ever again because she can talk to cait about anything and feel secure in their relationship, which accounts for a lot
Caitlyn is the first like, reciprocal friendship Vi has in a very long time. She's very used to being in relationships where she cares for another person but doesn't open up much outside of that or let herself be taken care of
Vi lives with Vander and Powder still and helps out at The Last Drop

My unpopular opinion is Mel is horrible. Her manipulative decisions are not “girlboss” or whatever and her simple classism just reminds me of people I used to know and am now I’m therapy for. Sure she has motivation but she is honestly horrible in my eyes end of. (Also the fact that people excuse it because she’s hot 😭???????)
strongly disagree
I ain't with you on this one anon, I'm sorry you got hurt by people similarly but I went on Mel defense here so if you don't feel comfortable reading it, please don't, stay comfy on the internet\
also enjoy some essay word vomit that is not structured at all
I think Mel's character is super fun, and also there's big reasons why the writers never had her ever interact with any citizen of the undercity (like even Viktor we never see them talk once in the entire show and considering their proximity to Jayce, it's kinda weird) and that is because Mel is shown to hate violence and suffering repeatedly throughout the show
Mel never interacts with anyone with the Undercity. Not even in the riot scene do we see her there, only the aftermath with the dead enforcers. I think the writer's knew it wouldn't have made any sense for her character to do it, when she's shown to detest violence so much it had her sent away from her family/country.
Mel has to be blind to how bad it is, in order for her to continue on. Because it wouldn't make no sense for her to have so much dislike of violence
Like even in the show's evidence with hextech weapons, with her mother in these scenes
Tumblr media
"We need that weapon, Mel. Let the war unfold. And then you come home. Take your place at my side. It's where you belong."
Mel could've very easily taken the route that would've brought her back to her mother, her family. Something she is shown to clearly yearn for with her paintings.
But what does she do?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
She gives it all up. Because she wants peace with Zaun. Because she doesn't want those weapons to be made and she knows this is a way to do it. (Unfortunately, one has already been made because this decision comes too late)
I'm tired of people writing Mel as this ruthless person, when in reality she's just ignorant and blind. Mel is compassionate when she realizes the wrongness of actions.
Like I love the idea of her interacting with Silco too for that one scene instead of Jayce. And Silco having no idea how to handle a piltie who is like 'wait all that's been happening?' because she just never witnessed or saw the details. Children dying would probably be like 'wait hold up' for Mel.
The writers constantly keep Mel from witnessing the horrors of the Undercity and there is very strong reasons for that. Because if she saw it, she probably would've pressed for change a lot sooner
I also feel like a lot of Mel hate is unfair, the fact that she in the end, does see the light and realizes 'shit's fucked' and uses her sway on the council to vote for peace with Zaun.
which in comparison to Heimerdinger who I feel gets way not enough hate. Heimerdinger literally sees and witness how bad the Undercity is and stays for like a day in it and is like 'oh they don't want my help' ??? YOU ARE THE REASON THEY NEED HELP SIR
Heimerdinger should get way more hate, where's that picture of boxer!silco hitting him. Need it back on my dash now
anyway
TLDR
Mel is compassionate, but blind to what happens to those outside of her small circle. If she were to see what happened, I 100% believe Zaun would've been freed a lot faster. Let Mel and Viktor talk one time damn it. Let Mel and Silco have that one scene instead of Silco and Jayce. Let her see Zaun and fight for freedom and be compassionate and we need more of those characters

So Jayce and Solomon broke up it seems now in my mind...but for how long?...lol
~
Jayce: I'm done with Solomon! We're over! I hate him now again!
Satan: *watches Jayce leave the room in a fit of rage*
Mammon: What the hell happened?
Satan: Jayce and Solomon broke up...It seems...
Mammon: YES! FINALLY!
Asmodeus: Does this mean I have to set certain dates to be with Jayce now? Since I can't be with both of them together now I'm sure? *sad sigh*
Mammon: Sheesh who cares about that right now? SOLOMON LOST JAYCE! ONE LESS MAN TO WORRY ABOUT IN THEIR LIFE!
Satan: I wouldn't celebrate too soon...
Mammon: Huh?
Asmodeus: Wait, why?
Satan: Don't you remember how they first ended up together?
Mammon: ...
Asmodeus: ...Wait...Wasn't it through...
Satan: Yep...The passionate hate Jayce had for Solomon from the first day they met...
Asmodeus: If they ended up together finally afterwards through how powerful that passionate hate was. I can only imagine how it might be if that passionate hate returns!
Mammon: Oh please. Jayce is over Solomon! Hates him and that's that. Ain't no passion involved. I mean what? They are gonna make some anti-Solomon club devoted to just hatin' and talkin' about him? Pfft
Belphie: Satan? Ah...There you are. Jayce asked me something weird...
Satan: Weird like how?
Belphie: Well...They asked how our used to be Anti-Lucifer club started and all...and then asked how I felt about Solomon...I said not much, and they just left while muttering something about Barbatos...
Satan, Mammon and Asmodeus: ...
Asmodeus: JAYCE? DARLING? WE NEED TO TALK! NOW!
Mammon: *already running to find Jayce* JAYCE! DON'T DO IT, BABE! STOP BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

hi! so, since you write some arcane meta, i was wondering: why didn't sevika betray silco? we've seen that she's been willing to switch sides before (when she betrayed vander), why didn't she with silco? she betrayed vander because he refused to stand up to the enforcers because he cared too much about his kids. when sevika had the opportunity to betray silco, he was acting similarly to vander (refusing to give up jinx, even if it meant not gaining independence), so why didn't she go along with finn?
Hello Anon! Yes, I love interesting meta asks. This is a neat one too actually. Casual warning that this is all my opinion, not necessarily the strict canon, even if I can sound like I'm preaching gospel.
Tumblr media
Let me answer the very end question to clarify things up.
I don't think Silco, in the end, is doing what Vander ever did. Not as far as Sevika knows or is concerned. She never gets to know Silco got an offer of peace from Jayce, or that he thinks of refusing for Jinx's sake. He gets abducted before that. At no point does Sevika see Silco give up anything for Jinx, or not take action because of Jinx, the way Vander did.
Quite the contrary: Sevika is tasked by Silco to hunt down and kill Vi when she returns to the Lanes, as we see Sevika come back to the office to report failure. Eventually when Vi is found, Silco goes to see her killed in person. He's proactive and not shy of killing Vander's kids. No other kids are in the equation.
Sevika may hate Jinx, but Jinx works for their cause, no matter how she may dislike it. She's building the bomb, she does take care of the blockade (again, even if Sevika disapproves of her killing Marcus). No one is refusing to hit on Piltover because of anyone else.
Why is Sevika so loyal?
Silco, unlike Vander, is acting out a masterplan. It's also a very different plan from his act I idea of handing out monsterification vials to Zaunites to raid Piltover. We can very easily assume that Sevika, his closest lieutenant and occasional advisor, would know the details of this new plan inside out. Heck, it seems even the Chembarons know what the deal is.
Meanwhile, Vander's goal was to not make any waves and to suppress uprisings from his own people. Sevika, under Vander, was impotent. He was getting in the way of vengeance, and in the way of progress for the cause of Zaun. The fact he did it for his children is irrelevant. He was an unbreakable status quo.
Going to Silco, she finds herself working for someone who has ideas, drive, a ruthless streak she clearly shares. Someone who'll break many eggs for the omelette he feels they've long deserved. Even if it ends up taking years to get there, act II takes great pains to show us how much richer and united Zaun is.
Sevika has clearly been kept busy. She may have serious beef with Jinx, and with Silco's reliance on Jinx, but again, Silco isn't protecting her. He's putting Jinx to work for the cause, even if she shows no signs of caring about it. She isn't being coddled and Silco isn't stalling because of her (though it's an idea I've seen in fanon, in canon we simply don't know what his win conditions are and why he's still faffing about playing the industrialist. We see him bemoan how the hexgates make Piltover leave Zaun "further behind", hinting at the idea he's struggling to catch up to some goal).
So the situation is simply different from Vander.
But then there's also the fact that Sevika clearly knows where she shines. She's a great follower. That's not an insult or a fault. Not everyone is suited for the top dog position. I think Sevika reached the place where she can utilise her skills best, and doesn't have to carry the burden of leadership—and she knows it. Funnily enough she gets on Silco's ass after he gives her a little too much to do lol
Seriously though, regarding Finn. Why didn't she go with him?
Not too hard, I should think : because he's a self-serving idiot without any sense of vision.
He doesn't understand Sevika's loyalty. He appeals to her ego, to her "want" for more, something I think he's 100% projecting and not realising Sevika just… doesn't want more. Finn never mentions the cause. He never talks of Zaun, just of petty power plays.
I think Finn completely misses the fact Sevika is a true believer.
She betrayed Vander when it he wouldn't stand up against Piltover, and then proceeds to be loyal to a fault to the one man whose entire reason for breathing is to create the Free Nation of Zaun. I think Sevika is way more devoted to that cause than she's often made out to be.
And Finn is all bling, all wealth and power and no politics, no brains and no future.
She uses him to remind Silco to stop fucking around (and maybe negotiate a raise lol), but it's clear she's never considered Finn seriously. Worse, she manipulated Finn by making him confident she was on his side. He shows up with his one supporter, and Sevika turns this into a way of cleaning up house. It's a master stroke of multi tasking. Finn was right. She is a scary lady.
I conclusion, I don't think Vander's motivations for doing what he did matter to Sevika at all. I believe she sticks to Silco because she's a true believer who has been doing a lot of satisfying work under him. We have to not forget that act II and III are a glimpse over 3 days of pure crisis, at the end of 5 to 10 years of work where they clearly got along enough to still be working together. And finally, Silco coming so close to getting what he wants is no known, and only Jinx, Vi, and Cait know about Silco wanting to drop the offer for Jinx's sake. Not a thing he even has a chance to do.
Hope that answers it x'D
