proven guilty your honor

I uploaded it a little late

Well I had a sketch that makes memes lying around and I drew it digitally and it looks like this ^^

Mel: How do you function if you never sleep?

Viktor: Well, When the caffeine inevitably runs out, The anxiety and panic attacks kick in, So I never feel tired I’m, always running with energy!

Jayce: Are you okay Viktor…

Viktor: no

Jayce : 👁👄👁

The fandom : 🎱👄🎱 😌 🍵

Viktor: Being gay isnt a choice. It’s a competition and i am losing. Have you seen my husband? Sure he is hot but his personality is a dumpsterfire. Like how on earth does one manage to get 95% of the fandom against him? And not to mention the whole “imma have lovely heterosexual sex whilst you die babe” thing. Wtf happened to our hextech dream? Your more slimy than rio (rip i miss you bestie<3). Like I appreciate you kicking your father figure from office for me but like damn,can you pretend like you still see me as part of the undercity? If your going to hate them, hate me to. Don’t seperate me from them.You have only known me as viktor in piltover from zaun, never just Viktor from zaun. You refer to “The undercity people” as dangerous. Not “Your people”. You acknowledge that I am from the undercity, yet you more so see me as someone you met in Piltover, cutting me even farther from my roots. And if Piltover and Zaun go to war, which they inevitably will, i must choose between my home and my house. With a foot in both worlds, i belong nowhere without betraying somebody.

Viktor: Anyways, can i get a large Sprite-

Thoughts on Arcane

Okay the hype for this show is spot on. This show is amazing. I went in only knowing that it’s about two sisters who end up fighting on opposite sides of a conflict and I’m happy I went in with limited knowledge because it didn’t play out at all how I expected. When I first started watching the show I thought that Vi was the one who was gonna be radicalized against the topsiders but once the end of episode two hit and episode three played out it completely flipped that thought on its head and I realized I was dead wrong. 

Vi is such a fantastic character and is my favorite character in the series. That’s not a disservice to any of the other fantastic characters instead it is a testament to how well written Vi is. I think Vi’s character and arc are summed up in what Vander told her in episode three “You’ve got a good heart. Don’t lose it. No matter how the world tries to break you.”. Vi is a good person who has been hardened through hardships just like many residents from the undercity. Vi has every reason in the world to be bitter and she has every reason in the world to just give up but she keeps getting back up. Her struggle made me legitimately emotional. This show really gets oldest child syndrome. I am also the oldest child in my family and I’ve felt what Vi felt when it came to Powder and I’ve felt what she felt when she was forced to watch Powder become Jinx. I think she’s a fantastic deuteragonist of Arcane. (Also Vi is just a complete badass.)

Powder’s descent into Jinx is also masterfully done. I don’t know if I’ve seen an animated show tackle how untreated trauma and mental illness can radically change a person and lead to their descent even half as well as arcane did with Jinx. Powder is by nature a kind and caring person but the world succeeded at breaking who she was and creating a much more cruel person in her place. This is kind of a fine line to tread because you could villainize mental illness but I think arcane makes it clear that it wasn’t only the mental illness that lead to Jinx but the negative influences in her life. Silco legitimately cares for Jinx but he projects his own problems onto her however unintentionally and neglects to actually treat her by regurgitating the belief that suffering has made her a stronger person. I think this is more of a warning for these toxic lines of thought that make it so that people have trouble asking for help and stew until a breaking point is reached. It’s a very fascinating take on the character and I am so excited to see where the show takes her.

I also wasn’t expecting Ekko to be the leader of the firelights but I loved the reveal. Ekko’s fight with Jinx was also fantastic. Having the show switch between the past Ekko and Powder and the present Ekko and Jinx was a fantastic divide to draw for the audience. The excitement and innocence in the past was perfectly contrasted between the brutality and tragedy of the present. And when Ekko hesitated you understood why. Just like Vi he can’t let go of the Powder that he knew despite how much he liked to claim the contrary. (The fights in this show were fantastic. I also loved Vi vs Sevika.)

The one part I thought was iffy was Jayce’s part of the story. Too often I found he was the least interesting character in his own story. Viktor far outshone him, in my opinion, with his arc and struggles. I often found that I much prefered when Jayce was playing off of someone than when he was alone. Viktor, Caitlyn, and Mel all had more presence to them and more interesting stories. I think this is because he isn’t really his own driving force when it comes to motivation. He is manipulated or convinced by just about everyone around him about what he is going to do next. Viktor was the one who fixed his research and pushed him to continue working on the crystals which kicked off hextech, Mel was the one who made him a councilor, Heimerdinger was the one who gave him the progress day speech, Vi was the one who convinced him to go after Silco, etc. I found myself wishing that we could cut down his screen time to show more of Viktor, Mel, and Caitlyn. This is my opinion so if you liked him all the better for you. I always like when people can enjoy things that I couldn’t (media wise).

I have a lot more thoughts but these are the ones I’d like to get out for now. There is so much to this show that I am definitely going to rewatch it as soon as I can and most likely write more about it.

Arcane Incorrect Quote #5

Viktor: The best part of an oreo is the cookie part, not the frosting. Deal with it.

Heimerdinger: Darkness without light is an abyss. Light without darkness is blinding. You cannot have a coin with one side.

Jayce: YO SOCRATES! IT'S A FUCKING COOKIE!

Arcane Incorrect Quote #12

Jayce: What kind of spider is that?

Viktor: It looks like a daddy long legs.

Jayce: Alright, it's a good-looking spider, but I wouldn't say it's "daddy".

Viktor:

Viktor: Wait what

Arcane Incorrect Quote #13

Jayce: No, I don't want to talk about physics! I don't know anything about the laws of physics because they are hard and boring. I simply would like them to behave in a way that is most convenient to ME and MY LIFE! Is that really asking too much?

Heimerdinger: Yes, as a matter of fact, it is!

Jayce: Well, guess what? Science is stupid bullshit!!

Heimerdinger: You take that back!!!

Jayce: No. Magic is awesome. Science blows. The end.

Arcane Incorrect Quote #21

Jayce: Two years ago, I married my best friend.

Jayce: Mel is still mad about it, but me and Viktor were drunk and thought it was funny.

Arcane Incorrect Quote #23

Mel: Jayce, what are you doing?

Jayce: Making chocolate pudding.

Mel: It's four in the morning, why are you making chocolate pudding?

Jayce: Because I've lost control of my life.

Jayce: Here's your pudding, Viktor.

Viktor: Oh that's okay, I'm not hungry anymore.

Arcane Incorrect Quote #34

Jayce: Which is correct, seven and five IS thirteen, or seven and five ARE thirteen?

Viktor: Neither.

Viktor: Because it's twelve.

Arcane Incorrect Quote #36

Jayce: Did Mel just tell me she loves me for the first time?

Viktor: Yes, she did.

Jayce: And did I just do finger guns back?

Viktor: Yes, you did.

Arcane Incorrect Quote #49

Viktor, knocking on the door: Jayce, open up!

Jayce: It all started when I was a kid.

Viktor: That’s not what I-

Mel: Let him finish!

Arcane Incorrect Quote #56

Viktor: So Jayce, how did your first time cooking dinner go?

Jayce: Pretty good if I do say so myself.

Viktor: Oo! Okay, what are we having?

Jayce: Alright, so for appetizers, we have a potato.

Viktor: A whole potato?

Jayce: Yes. And then for the main course, we have grilled cheese sandwiches!

Viktor: These just look like big slabs of black.

Jayce: Because that's what they are!

Jayce: And then for dessert, we have chocolate.

Viktor: These are just chocolate chips?

Jayce: They sure are!

Jayce: And then for drinks, we have toast!

Jayce: *lifts up a glass of blended toast* Bon appetite!

I'm gonna write an Arcane crackfic and I AM going to take it seriously

Arcane Incorrect Quote #58

Jayce: Why are you on fire?

Viktor: This is just how my day is going.

ur a jinx - Chapter 1

Sooo, my sister @m-mommymilkers and I decided to put our minds together and create THIS absolute gem. If you want a shitty modern high school drama Arcane AU, here it is. I apologize in advance for our immature sense of humor, this post is coming from someone who will put a water bottle cap on a ball (giving it a hat shhh) and laugh at it hysterically.

Good luck. The entire chapter is under the cut. (Also hey @doxmino it’s done!)

Silco feels horrible.

His daughter hardly ever sleeps—this is, what, the first time in weeks she's gotten an actual good night's sleep?—and he has to wake her. He wishes he didn't, he could let the poor girl sleep all day if she didn't have school today.

There was always the option of letting her sleep in and passing it off as her taking a sick day. She hates school anyways, doesn't she?

But Vander wouldn't stand for that. He knows, and Silco knows, that as parents, they need to value their children's education.

And also their health and well-being. Well, that certainly doesn't help, now, does it?

He stares at the teenager hugging her giant shark plushie, snoring away. Her long hair is quite literally all over the place; draped over the plushie, hanging over the edge of the bed, and it even made its way into her mouth somehow? He sighs, slowly stepping over. "Jinx."

"Hm..."

"Jinx?"

"No," she pouts tiredly, rolling over and facing away from him.

"I'm afraid so," he sighs. "Look at me?"

She's stubborn at first, but turns her head after a few seconds. He brushes the long strands of hair out of her face, ultimately pulling them out of her mouth with a wad of saliva clumping them together in the middle.

"That's... Disgusting."

Jinx smiles sleepily in response.

"I can't braid this. You need a shower," he continues.

"No. 'm fine," she insists, laughing it off.

"Jinx."

"I'm good, I'm good!"

"There's spit in your hair, I'm not touching it."

"You're just as stubborn as I am."

"Jinx..."

She freezes before huffing with frustration. "Fine, whatever. I'm gonna be late, though."

"That's quite alright. Take your time."

And late she is. About an hour behind schedule, in fact. She doesn't bother to blow dry her hair, but rather pats it down with her towel and tosses it aside right after. She steps out of the bathroom, all dressed and ready to—

No.

Silco shakes his head, "You're not going out like that."

"Why not? What's wrong with it?" she asks, posing in her black crop top, torn fishnets and shorts.

"It's freezing outside! You'll catch a cold!"

"'You'll catch a cold!'" she mocks in a high pitched voice under her breath, which he pretends not to hear. "I'll... Wear a jacket or something."

"Thank you."

"Yeah, yeah. Can I wear yours?"

"What?"

"Well, I figured I'd ask instead of taking it like last time," she snorts. "It looks cool, too."

"Does it?"

"Yeah, it looks pretty cool on me, anyway. You don't look so bad in it either."

He sighs, "Okay. I don't mind as long as it doesn't become part of the mess that is your room, are we clear?"

"Aye aye, captain," she salutes before plopping down at his feet, her back turned to him. "Now, this hair ain't gonna braid itself!"

"It's still wet."

"Okay, so? It's clean."

"You hardly did anything to dry it."

"If I miss school, you'll get in trouble," she mumbles indifferently.

"If I get in trouble, I'll drag you along with me to court."

"Ooh, scary."

"Mhm," he lazily responds, grabbing the hairbrush off the side table. "You should put together a proper sleep schedule."

She chuckles, "Nah. I'm fine with sleeping whenever."

"Jinx... You don't sleep at all. The last time you slept was three days ago."

"Four days ago," she corrects.

"Four days ago!" he echoes.

"Yeah. Oops."

"How... How do you go that long without sleeping?"

"Occupying myself with work," she crosses her legs and rocks back and forth. "Oh, and coffee, which we're gonna need a lot more of that."

"No, we don't."

"Yeah, we do."

"No, we don't," he insists sternly.

They throw the same arguments back and forth as he braids the long strands. It gets old fast, but it's all part of the morning routine. Silco is used to it.

Her pupils are dilated, large black holes in her bright pink eyes. Silco can feel the car shake with every kick of her legs against the passenger seat. "Would you please cut that out?"

"Can't," she answers before stopping anyways—at least attempting to—and pulling a ballpoint pen out of her backpack.

As if the seat kicking wasn't bothersome enough.

She puts her thumb on the button at the end of the pen and begins pressing it rapidly. Click, click, click, it went.

Again, this is an everyday thing that he had grown used to. He just keeps on driving. "And how exactly does your tiny body handle that much caffeine?" he inquires, not taking his eyes off the road.

"I dunno," she shrugs, pushing the button still.

Click, click, click.

"You forgot to eat again."

"Oops."

She's indifferent to the idea of not eating. She's always spending all day working in her room on art or little machines, or passed out at her desk. It's almost as though she lives solely off of coffee and candy, nothing else.

"You're eating lunch today."

"No."

"I'm not saying it has to be big. At least something healthy. Even if it's just one of those small packages of baby carrots, it's better than filling up on sugar."

She pouts, "Well, you know I don't like carrots."

"Fruit, then."

"Maybe."

"Please."

"Fine, okay. Fruit it is, I guess."

Another moment of silence. Click, click, click, the pen starts again.

Silco takes a brief glance down at the pen, as well as the tip of his daughter's thumb, flushed a deep pink from pressing the little button for so long. "You should stop. You'll tire out your hand."

"You know what? Okay. It was getting boring, anyway," she mutters to herself before unrolling the left sleeve of her father's jacket. She doodles on her pale skin with swift marks, finishing a really messy—but cool, as she would say—sketch of a monkey. "So? Whaddya think?"

"I think you should stop drawing on yourself."

"But—"

"It isn't good for your skin."

"If it was really that bad, they wouldn't let kids anywhere near these things. It's just pen, after all! It comes off in a few washes!"

He opens his mouth to speak, but only closes it and gives a defeated sigh. What's the point in even trying to argue with this girl anymore?

He stops the car at the front of the school and Jinx leans over to grab her backpack from off the back seat. "Remember what we discussed."

"Eat healthier food, drink water throughout the day, blah, blah, blah. Got it."

"And, one more thing. Please try to stay out of trouble."

"No promises, old man," she sticks her tongue out. She gets out of the car and slams the door shut, striding into the building as though she hadn't gone all weekend without sleeping.

If she's being honest, she hates being told to take better care of herself. For starters, she knows when to take a break from caffeine and junk food, and that's when she can feel her body shutting down. If she's feeling dizzy, cool, then can have a little water. She can take a catnap. But other than that, she'll live.

Like she's said to Silco and, even her sister a month or two back—maybe three, she can't remember—it's her body, she knows how to take care of it, and she'll do whatever she pleases with it.

"Pow-pow!"

Speak of the devil...

Jinx whips around to be practically tackled to the ground by her older sister. "Vi! Violet, quit it!" she struggles as the taller, more muscular girl hugs her.

"What, am I not allowed to hug my little sis? Bring it in."

"Vi! You're embarrassing me!" she whined.

"That's a shame. I don't really get to see you every day, though, now do I?"

"Sometimes, before classes. But... I guess we don't really see each other every day like we used to."

"I'm glad we got the chance to meet up before classes, though. I've missed you."

"I missed you too," she smiles a bit, finally returning her hug. "Oh! Uh, you should know," she speaks up again, "Th-the name's Jinx now."

"Oh, okay. It really... Suits you, I guess?"

She's right; the girl is known by a majority of the other students for all the trouble she's caused throughout throughout the years. It started in kindergarten; she had asked to join some other kids in a game of kickball, in which she kicked the ball through a window. Both her and the group were held accountable.

Only four years old and a few people already wanted her dead.

Then, fast forward a couple years, she had started a food fight in the cafeteria. She knew what she was doing; it was exactly what Vi did in second grade, and if she wanted to make anyone proud, it had to be her older sister.

It wasn't as big of a fight as she'd hoped for, but it was fun. Either way, regardless of how many students participated in the food fight, she was known to be trouble.

She was a problem.

A jinx, if you will.

And so it became her name. Shortly after Silco and Vander split, she could only blame herself.

She's trouble.

Trouble.

What a funny word! Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble. It sure looks weird when you stare at it for too long, doesn't it?

"Pow?"

"Mm?"

"You're doing that weird zoning out thing."

"Oh, heheh. Whoops. Man, it's chilly, huh?" her focus switches immediately.

"A little," Vi shrugs slightly, but agreeing nonetheless. "We should still have some time before first period. Let's hang out inside for a bit, yeah?"

"'mkay."

Every table in the science lab is clear, all except for one that's cluttered with several papers, a glass slide, and a microscope. Viktor had arrived at school early and wanted to get a head start on his biology assignment. Everyone was told to pick one of the slides—all of them had something different so no one would cheat—and fill out a five-page-long packet of questions regarding what they were viewing under the microscope.

He takes little notes on a separate sheet of paper before a pair of hands falls over his eyes. "Guess who?" an all-too-familiar voice rings out happily.

It's none other than his lab partner—well, except for individual assignments like this—and close friend, Jayce Talis. "Morning, Jayce," he smiles back faintly before gently grabbing his hands and taking them off his face. "Are you here to work, too?"

"Just here to see you."

What a flirt.

"Well, I'm a bit busy, but I wouldn't mind if you sat with me."

"You're always working, Vik," Jayce pouts. "It's all you ever do."

"I value my grades, thank you very much."

"So do I, and even I'm not working 24/7. You need a break."

"I don't need a break. Not yet."

Jayce sighs and looks at his paper with a blank stare. "Then... Maybe we could go somewhere after school?"

"As long as I can get my homework done before the night's over, sure," Viktor finally accepts, not once looking up from his microscope.

Well, that was a short conversation. It's okay, though, because there are only about five or six minutes until first period starts, and there's still a lot to be done; a lot being the several flyers and posters that him and his best friend, Caitlyn, had planned over various texts and emails.

@caittt_k: What do you think?

@caittt_k: [one image attached]

The posters were... A bold choice, to put it nicely. Neon pink wasn't exactly attractive in his eyes, and the use of gold glitter and big, holographic letter stickers to spell out "CAIT 4 PREZZY" only made it worse.

@itzyaboi.jayce: its flashy

@itzyaboi.jayce: idk

@caittt_k: Flashy is better than bland, isn't it?

@itzyaboi.jayce: ig

@itzyaboi.jayce: but its an eyesore for me tbh

@itzyaboi.jayce: its so bright

Cait tries to reply, but keeps pausing as Jayce continues to critique her work.

@itzyaboi.jayce: what is this ur 3rd grade bucket list? lol

@caittt_k: Jayce.

@itzyaboi.jayce: "im gonna get a pony 🥺✨"

@caittt_k: With all due respect, please shut the fuck up.

@itzyaboi.jayce: oh damn ok sorry ms "prezzy"

He makes his way down the hall to meet up with her in the library like they had planned yesterday, but is interrupted by the bell.

@caittt_k: We'll just have to put these up during lunch.

@caittt_k: No side conversations, no distractions.

@caittt_k: And definitely no more mentions of my third grade bucket list.
