She Did Nothing Wrong

Saving this for the day I’ll actually use good references instead of just googling poses every now and then and using my memory of those tiktok “improving this person’s art per their request” vids to help make my art

hot artists don't gatekeep

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

I am failing my readers—sorry guys lol

I have not worked on Feral and I might abandon that fic but I don't really want to. The rest of my fics I will NOT be abandoning tho. I just like working on fics in order and I was supposed to update Feral next . . .

The main problem is me having work and college at the same time. Usually, if I just had school during the day, I could do homework and then work on fics, but I go to work and then I'm supposed to do school at home?? Omg it sucks and I have yet to turn in more than 2 assignments in the last few weeks. I feel guilty working on anything that isn't homework, so I'm planning on working on my fics during the summer when classes are over for me (though I have two summer classes oof)

I will also make fanart once I have caught up on my assignments tho idk how I'll do that but we'll see if I can do my hw before I get kicked out of college or something

I don't like how some of the gifs shown are NOT the same whatsoever

Caitlyn's vs Jinx's Target practice

Caitlyn is able to train alongside professionals and have a set-up that is no doubt larger than the size of a football field (remember: she was running and shooting targets during the competition) while Jinx has only her and the rest of the kids. Maybe there are a few adults who can guide them how to use a weapon, but she's not given the same resources as Jinx. Not to mention, Caitlyn's training to be an enforcer or, at the very least, for fun and as a hobby while Jinx does so to protect herself.

Cassandra's funeral vs Silco's funeral

Cassandra has a fancy casket, is surrounded by a crowd of people who mourn her, and has a whole fancy funeral arrangement while Silco . . . Silco gets dumped in a river. Again, Jinx is not given the same resources as Caitlyn. Cassandra's funeral is an organized event and you could argue that since Silco is a horrible man surrounded by people who want him for his power, he won't have a whole crowd at his funeral—that only emphasizes the differences between Jinx and Silco. Jinx wasn't able to grieve Silco with people she cared about while Caitlyn could.

Vi stopping Caitlyn vs her stopping Jinx

I'm not gonna defend what Jinx did cause she was shooting at Firelights, but the narrative has established that she was raised to be the violent person that she is. Look at the alternate universe for example—Powder restrains herself and is nowhere near as cruel. Caitlyn, on the other hand, was not raised to be so cruel. She was a much kinder person who didn't want violence to occur before her mother's death. Then she aimed her gun at a child in order to get revenge.

Caitlyn hurting Vi vs Jinx hurting Vi

How?? How is this comparable?? Caitlyn's reason to hurt Vi was selfish while Jinx's reason was selfless (and heavily misguided like girl please everyone just seek therapy). Caitlyn hurt Vi because Vi was trying to be her sense of reason and Cait was too deep in her grief to care. Vi didn't want Caitlyn to shoot at a child, so Cait hit her and tried to go after her sister to kill her only for revenge. Jinx, on the other hand, hurt Vi to do right by her sister. She hurt Vi to keep her in the cell and leave her life forever so Vi could be "happy".

Which is stupid cause if Ekko can start getting along with Jinx, then Caitlyn should've been as well if she weren't such an asshole. There was no reason to choose.

Caitlyn's posters vs Jinx's posters

They are kind of comparable, I'll admit, but I would like to point out that Caitlyn's posters were propaganda. Not only was she harming the topside AND undercity, she was trying to make it seem like this would somehow (??) unite them. How?? How was she going to create peace between Piltover and Zaun with the militant state she put the Topsiders in??? Jinx terrorized the undercity (through her helping Silco) though she did so because she was raised by him and isolated. Caitlyn terrorized both the topside and undercity. Jinx did so as well, but she's from the undercity, so obviously she won't care what happens to the topside. Honestly, me neither. Explode those enforcer tents, Jinx!! Caitlyn though??? Girl, you live in the topside. Why are you doing this to your own people???

"—account for your actions."

"No amount of good deeds can undo our crimes"

Um . . . Okay. . . So how are you gonna account for you becoming a dictator?? Cause no good deeds of trying to fix the undercity is gonna account for YOUR WAR CRIMES, so what are ya gonna do??

same person different font.

theyll never be the same and jinx will always be better

YESSSSS

Well, I finally did the League of Legends shipping post for Mel

I did a few days ago a post about considering to talk about League of Legend champions that could be shipped with Mel, considering that people had started to opened to the idea of multishipping. First, a little disclaimer...

League of legends have 169 champions. Of course I can't talk about everyone, and I had decided to set a few little rules of who I would comment. I tried to get a variety of shipping "flavors" people could be interested in, but here are some considerations I took for my 10 characters.

A) I'm not going to talk about characters who have an ongoing couple in the main timeline. By extension, I won't include characters who won't be interested in Mel, like K'sante or Varus, as they are gay.

B) I will consider only humanoid characters.

C) I'm not expert on LOL Lore, so if there is something wrong, just kindly comment and I will correct.

With that being said, if the characters already introduced in Arcane doesn't suit your tastes for our girl Mel, then you have here some new characters to consider.

Female characters.

Samira, a shuriman who embraced Noxus's mindset and became a bounty hunter, looking for challenge and adventure.She is kinda related/ sponsored by the Black Rose. May Mel become her new patron, instead?

You want a little enemies to lovers touch? We have Karma, the vessel of the spirit of Ionia, who offers her the wisdom of remembering her past lives, one of the beacons of hope agaisnt Noxus's invasion of her homeland.

Do you want a little bit of what Elizabeth and Will had in Pirates of Caribbean? There you have Miss fortune, the daughter of firearms crafter, who became a pirate to get vengance agaisnt the one who killed her family, the reaver king Gangplank.

What about a little of beauty and the beast trope? Kai'sa might look like a void monster, but she is dedicating her life to stop the plague of the Void to dominate Runaterra.

Of course I will have a 'I can fix her' trope. She was kinda the reason of the post, as I saw people loving the vestaya design of Lest. Ahri, who doesn't have memories of her childhood, had been taking the life essence of humans to feel their memories and feelings. Until she feel in love...and accidentally killed her lover with her powers. Could Mel be her second chance?

Male characters

Mel is a painter, and so is Hwei, who uses magic to make his art a weapon. He uses his powers to bring justice to the world, while looking for the serial murderer that massacred his temple...

A Shuriman vigilante, a member of the Sentinel of Light who battles agaisnt the evil in the shadow isles, looking for justice and hunting for the warlord that killed the woman who took him from the streets...

You want family drama, someone who can understand the sibiling bond Mel and Kino had? Aphelios and hist twin sister Alune were treausured by the Lunari, as they considered them fated children. As they were considerated heretics by the Solari, Aphelios dedicated his life to protect his people, while her sister got involved with the mystical arts ending trapped in the spirit world. But when the Solari army reached the Lunari, Alune reached to his brother with her magic, and together they protected their people. Now Aphelios is a weapon, with her sister as his guide.

But of course we have some more...complicated guys. If you thought Heimendirger was paranoid about magic, you have to know about the city of Demacia, where magic is forbidden and mages are prosecuted. For Demacia, Sylas is a terrorist , for the mages, a liberator...and he won't stop until they are free, no matter the cost...or the collateral damage. Think of Magneto, from the X-men.

And of course , I have another I can fix him trope. Are you into Dark Romance? Into vampire aesthetics? There you have Vladimir a blood mage, ancient enough to have seen the foundation of Noxus itself. A member of the Noxian socialite, involved with the Black Rose, and leader of his own cult. A lot of things going on, indeed.

The potential of the shipping is endless...

This reminds me of when my white boss put on a playlist titled "Shit white people get turnt to" and we started talking about me seeing similarly titled playlists with the same songs. She went "Well, but I feel like those are songs everyone gets turnt to."

And in my head I was like, "Girl. . . And what color is this everyone you're thinking of????"

Also,

At my highschool prom, the DJ played Cotton Eye Joe and the kids who previously weren't dancing (like 80% of the dancefloor) were all getting down like we were at some kind of rodeo. I didn't dance cause 1, I didn't feel like dancing to that song and, 2, I was practically up against the wall and had no room to dance. But then they played Cupid Shuffle and less than half of the entire dancefloor got down. I would've, but goddamn it they still didn't give me any room to dance.

Old drawings from an older fic of mine called Down in the Bunker. That is a one chaptered fic (the other was multi-chaptered). I’ve def improved in drawing trolls LOLLL

Her hair looks so silky and gorgeous AAAAAAAHHHHH
