Oh, by the way: Vander is swayed by Jinx and Vi first, but then he attacks Viktor (because Viktor was bleeding or going to attack Jinx/Vi or both), who instinctively defends himself and ends up killing him. Jinx tries to blows Viktor up (again lol) but Jayce whacks the missile with his hammer before it can reach Viktor, and Viktor, seeing Jayce hurt, breaks out of the mind control.

Horrible AU where the transformation after Viktor's death in the commune was forced on him by Singed, and he is now both Rio and the weapon he hoped Hextech would never become. Ambessa uses him to invade Piltover, and he has to fight Jayce, who even as he's defending himself keeps trying to reach him, break him out of the mind control - and meanwhile, Jinx and Vi are doing the same with Vander.

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.

Hylic the Speed Demon!

Less Harrasment Than One Might Think Notable

My original OC, Bigbrain the Bolian

My problem with people saying two people (two men usually) have a relationship that goes beyond platonic and romantic and can't be labeled is this is always used as a reason why they can't kiss or whatever as if those two things are mutually exclusive

Jinx's hallucinations, or lack of them, are retrospectively a glaring symptom of the problems season two has.

She barely has them, and there's really no reason why that I can think of. Her mental health hasn't gotten any better, and even if it had, these things don't just disappear. And why would you get rid of them? They're a big part of her character. The only thing I can think of that makes sense is the writers just... Forgot. Or someone was laid off who was the real brain behind the operation. Or something that vital to her character was just removed for some incomprehensible reason. And that's what the rest of season two feels like, really. There's so many things that were just forgotten or ignored it doesn't seem like any of the same people were involved at all.

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

I would pay for a mod that lets your slugpups grow up
