A Cleaned-up N01D

The angel cassiel, pre-fall

Definitely for Jayce's sake...

...and maybe because she's one of the councillors most likely to be sympathetic to the undercity...

(not much competition there, considering most of the other councillors are bastards)

...but ALSO because I think he's be both nice enough to just want to do so and hubristic enough to think he could.

He is a scientist, after all.

So here's how Mel can survive. The bomb definitely gonna hit her, right? She basically has a target on her back. But hear me out:

Gold prosthetics.

We've got Finn's jaw thing, which I dunno if it's even a prosthetic but it's a big gold thing integrated with his body, and we've got two councillors with large gold parts of their body: that woman with the giant rings, which I think is just meant to be an accessory based on the ndebele people's neck rings, but the thing is about those rings irl is they may not TECHNICALLY be a prosthetic but they do deform the body of the wearer over time and I imagine they're hard as fuck to remove, so the line between them and the body is thin - and then there's the councillor whose entire body is just gold prosthetics to the point where you can't even tell what race he is under there!

So, yeah, there's precedent for gold prosthetics already, and Mel is absolutely COVERED in gold. It's an incredibly obvious visual motif - and not only is it obvious, but the parts where the gold ends and she starts are actually incredibly unclear already.

Like, what's going on with her shoulders and neck? How are those gold plates staying on there if they're not embedded into her skin? She's literally sleeping and they're still in there. You're telling me this isn't foreshadowing that she's gonna get gold prosthetics later on? Maybe something on her shoulders and back, where the bomb is definitely going to blow her the fuck up?

The arcane is a show absolutely full of prosthetics, to the point where if anyone loses any part of themselves at any point, however small, you can guarantee it'll come back as a prosthetic at some point (even Jayce's mum's fingers are visibly frostbitten in his flashback and in the future she has finger prosthetics!), so if they're injuring this woman who they've also very intentionally SMOTHERED in gold, there's no way she isn't gonna become some sort of gold cyborg.

And who's gonna do it to her? Mr. Glorious Evolution, of course. That or Jayce, but... I dunno, if I was to take bets on who's gonna make her a goldborg I'd go for mr. transhumanism.

Do the people want more horrible baby bird iterators?

A cоmmission for @cawsket. Thank you for trusting me with this!

imagine going to burger king and you're like can i have a chicken wrap which isn't a burger nor on the menu but isn't an unreasonable thing to order and they're like sorry we don't serve wraps but we can introduce you to our burger guy who makes the best burgers and then you go to the burger guy and he's like yeah i can make a burger and a wrap but i think you should go to the sushi bar next door because. i'm gonna fuck the wrap?

Mel doesn't make a move on Jayce in this AU because she assumes they're dating for real, like most people would. You'd think this would be out of character for her because she's good at reading people, so you'd think she'd be able to tell it was a sham. But no. The thing is, she's right: they are dating! They just don't know it yet.

Arcane AU where everything is mostly the same but at some point after the academy and before the events of the show Jayvik got married for the tax benefits and so Viktor could have a last name for practical reasons and basically it's a fake dating AU until someone else points out that neither of them seem even remotely bothered that this will impact their future romantic prospects with anyone outside their marriage

I dont go here (star trek) but I have to say I really like ur art :]!!!!!!

Thanks!! I should really post more of it, lmao

Hottest Arcane Character Polls

This poll is not part of the tournament, but does that make it any less meaningful? I don't think so. Reblog for sample size.

(so this is the final we *would have gotten* if there hadn't been that last-minute Vander surge. let's make this count)

Viktor vs. Ekko
