Vander Arcane - Blog Posts

In my heart they’re lovers

I'm sorry but Silco having his jacket tucked inside Vander's is just so intimate.

what thE FUCKKKK DID I JUST WATCH

To clear it up, platonic character x character would be something like writing about Vi and Jinx, clearly with no romance involved, or a found family fic, something along those lines! If you have any specific ships or requests just sent an ask!

Arcane spoils👍

OH MY GOD VANDERS ALIVE????

THIS IS SO FUCKING MAD HOLYYY SHIT

I DONT WANT TO FINISH THE SHOW SO WUICK BUT YOU PULL SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND I KINDA HAVE TO WATCH THE NEXT EPISODE LIKE

Another Arcane headcannon:

So you know how Get Jinxed is cannon in the Arcane universe? We were all wondering if Jinx published a song or something, or is it just a random coincidence that a song like that exists?

But I give you this... Felicia(Jinx and Vi mom) is actually the singer. Now hear me out Jinx and Felicia have the same voice (I was so fucking startled by this when I watched S2). And the lyrics can be explained to fit her...

Wanna join me? Come and play

What if this is a call to arms, like for their revolution?

But I might shoot you, in your face

It's Zaun, anyone might shoot you at any time, tho it's a nice warning

Bombs and bullets will do the trick

What we need here, is a little bit of panic!

Once again a call to arms

Do you ever wanna catch me?

Right now, I'm feeling ignored!

Remember the fact that the goal of their revolution was independent Zaun, they needed Piltovers attention, to reach their goal.

So can you try a little harder?

I'm really getting bored!

Piltover ignoring them and not taking it seriously and just sending down enforcers to deal with the Undercity filth.

So much better, so much fun

Let's start from scratch and blow up the sun!

'Blow up the sun' would probably reference Piltover-the-sun-shines-out-of-my-ass attitude and general goldness.

Come on, shoot faster

Just a little bit of energy!

I wanna try something fun right now

I guess some people call it anarchy!

Let's blow this city to ashes

Literally saying let's bomb Piltover

And see what Pow-Pow thinks

What if Jinx got the idea for Pow-Pow from this song?

It's such pathetic neatness

Making fun of pilties!

But not for long cause it'll get jinxed!

How sad would it be if Felicia sang this song long before children were even a thought and Jinx struggling with her name after Silco took her in, listened to the lyrics and got comfort in the fact she could just be a jinx to her enemies, not family...

Felicia picked a catchy song so it would get stuck in everybody's head and dragged her Bozo's to help her kicking and screaming...

Also Silco playing guitar and Vander drums lives rent free in my head.

🎶Our love, is a bubbling fountain... Our love, for eternity

(Part of my Zaunite Viktor AU)

You know that feeling when you accidentally call your teacher or boss mom/dad? Yeah that shit's embarrassing lmao.

Also, what do you think of Powder's fanart? ;)

e

everything about this family photo makes me want to throw up oh mygod bunny ears the expressions VANDERS TATTOO RAAGAGHHRHGRG

also they hold eachother like an old married couple im going to kill myself the hand on silcos shoulder was bad enoufh what do you mean silco returned it by gently and firmly grasping vanders arm with a soft expression on his face can i die? can die right now ?

AU vander and silco go 1(one) scene without caressing eachother challenge(IMPOSSIBLE)

I'm not very happy with the result, but I really wanted to try to draw Vander.

And here I can afford to kiss this big guy. Why? Because I'm an artist

orianna better not find out that she got given a second chance at life by her father who showed a child experimentation on a live creature and then created a drug that plagued two cities and started a war and made a comically large furry (literally two wolves inside vander if you think about it) and then met twink jesus and combined the furry with the drug to save her

 Everyone’s reaction when Victor literally became Jesus (Even mine brother said he’s Jesus)

SPOILERS FOR ARCANE

I'M SO SADDDD!!

WHY DID THEY NEED TO KILL JINX? SHE WAS ALREADY HAVING HER REDEMPTION AND FINALLY HAD VI IN HER LIFE AGAIN. WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY DID THEY HAVE TO DO THAT? I DON'T WANT HER TO BE DEAD CAN SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE UP A THEORY THAT SHE ISN'T DEAD? LIKE THE SHIMMER IN HER BODY LIKE- ALLOWED HER TO LIVE?? DUIBAUIBDIJWABJD

VANDER SILCO ENJOYERS HOW WE DOING TONIGHT 🥳🥳🥳

Arcane characters as tma entities bc I need an outlet for s2 being so close

Jinx is desolation (duh)

Powder is the lonely

Vi is slaughter

Caitlyn is the eye but more garchivist than anyone else

Viktor is corruption or maybe end

Jayce is the eye (?? idk bestie)

Mel is the web

Silco is either corruption or web

Ekko is the vast

Sevika is the hunt

Heimerdinger is in the same league as stupid idiot motherfucker jurgan leitner God damn fool book collecting dust eating rat old bastard shithead idiot avatar of the whole biggest clown in the circus laughed out of town cowboy motherfucking Jurgen leitner

Ambessa is slaughter just a very different type to vi

Vander is hunt (furry)

Markus is hunt (police)

Singed is either flesh or corruption but the moldy corruption

Sky is lonely (same as powder)

I'm not doing anyone else bc they are irrelevant and I cannot be assed

🚨Crack theory🚨 but at first I was confused how Vi's death led to an alternate universe where everything is a utopia. Even if Hextech was never invented it doesnt explain how all the class disparity was solved. And then I realized it was probably this:

Vander and Silco are the only ones who really had a plan for a unified and independent Zaun. My theory: after the accident, Vander went into grief over the death of his daughter and stumbled pathetically into the arms of his ex-twink, finally apologized for trying to kill him that one time, they get back together and solve all poverty with the power of old man yaoi. (Also Silco stops making drugs at some point)

how do you think Silco reacts to Powder and Ekko dating in the au? honest if I was Ekko I’d be TERRIFIED everyday of my life knowing who my gf’s parents are. I also think we need more fanfiction about this

I think Ekko is one of the few people who are safe from the "scary dads" thanks to being Benzo's kid. Also, Ekko knows how soft they really are.

Had to tell my friend that Vander and Silco aren't brother and not related today and that Vander is not Jinx's actual dad. The things calling one brother when not related does to a girl

Doing whatever this is cause I need motivation and reminders

stop why is this making me so emotional

she had a nightmare

The Hound of the Underground

Disappointed in the Vander backstory

I fully expected that it was coming, but I'm disappointed in the timeline all the same.

The "Vander got upset because a fight against Piltover Silco instigated killed the woman he loved" was literally my first draft for my longfic Fathers and Daughters, and I ended up scrapping it because I felt it was too cheap and wouldn't justify the violence of his actions against Silco.

"When she died I lost my head" he says in the letter.

But when she died you actually dropped your gauntlets and picked up the girls and everyone has been assuming this was the moment you swore off violence...

The fact she goes on to let Vander name her kid, and seems to be thick as thieves with them, and ALSO tells them of the pregnancy before she builds up the courage to tell her partner... Tells me that surely... SURELY by the time Vi is 10-11, whatever she is on the bridge in season 1, she would KNOW SILCO as her mom's bestie, no??? Not just Vander.

It feels like this entire angle is pulled under the rug to simplify the conflict in act 1.

I do appreciate being right on the money with Silco knowing and being friends with the mom, and having known Vi as a baby. I think it makes sense, especially if he was an important community leader.

I just hate her death being the catalyst of Vander's actions against Silco. It means that the timeline actually like this:

Mom-Silco-Vander are best friends. Silco is "Bozo 1" and has been leading the transformation of the Lanes with Vander's help. He's already planning his nation of Zaun. His notebook is literally saying "NZ" for Nation of Zaun.

At an ONGOING confrontation with enforcers, Silco throws a molotov cocktails that doesn't seem to even kill an enforcer (Powder and her innefectual bombs parallel? The entire scene is intercut with the monkey bomb clapping so... The scene leading to a friend's death also parallels the events of Jinx's birth.)

As the smoke clears/the POV looks down, we have the reveal that the girls' Mom is dead.

Vander admits the blood was on his hands as well, meaning he either started this confrontation with Silco, or fought just as badly/increased the violence (and we see him murder enforcers later on). Anyway he admits to carrying the blame, and apologized in person to Silco for the dubbed "betrayal".

Then he went home, shaved, dragged Silco into the Pilt, and tried to drown him *because their common friend died at the failed uprising*.

He's then haunted, seemingly, by visions of Silco being dead:

To me it's sort of weaker and sadder, as it establishes Vander as someone more flawed and less ruthless. It's not that he wanted the Lanes, it's not that Silco was getting in the way of what he wanted.

Vander was out there happy with everything they were dishing out, right until their actions cost the life of a friend, and he broke, emotionally, and BLAMED it on Silco, going so far as to kill him (or try).

He surrendered his gauntlets, picked the children up, tucked them in at home, shaved (I cannot stress this enough), then took Silco into the fucking river and brutally attempted to murder him.

Then he massively regretted it and left little breadcrumbs of apologies in case Silco found them and returned to him.

So, canon couple, first off lol

Fellas, is it gay to hang your jackets inside each other's in your secret hideout? Is it gay that all your core hidden memories begin with your mate smiling at you?

Yes, yes it is. Zaundad is canon and I'm not taking commentary.

Secondly, that means Vander was an emotional ticking time bomb who wasn't ready for the price to sacrifice in order to gain their freedom. I really wonder what the alternative reality would have been like, were Silco the one dying on that bridge.

Anyway, it brings some twisted sadness to the situation, because the mom wanted Zaun "no matter what" for Vi's sake, her child's future. But Vander decided that lives weren't worth spilling over that dream and tried to kill Silco over it, before teaming up with Grayson to continue enforcing a status quo.

So that means that Silco, even as he raises Jinx, is continuing her mother's dream, of building Zaun, a country that's safe for her children, "no matter what".

But very sadly the show also acts like Silco doesn't know the kids, and like the kids don't know him. Powder, sure, but Vi not knowing Silco is just downright stupid. Not even knowing him by name? When her mom was out fighting alongside him??? The mom is ALSO a miner, very clearly working with Silco and Vander, alongside the nameless poor husband.

I feel like this doesn't really solve the issues that were already raised when we speculated about act 1. It just clarifies that Vander was truly, willfully a force of oppression inside the fissures, working against the revolution necessary for Zaun becoming possible.

But it implies Silco didn't recognise Powder and Vi, and that Vi didn't recognise him or understand how he knew Vander. It's a disservice to the story, because that tie, that old bond, could really have worked to dramatize the sacrifices Silco is ready to make, as well as the depth of Vi's hatred for him.

But the show acts like they're strangers and that Vander's death is the core beef between them until Jinx enters the picture.

And then there's the Benzo scene, when Vander holds his wound from Silco's knife, and says "we both know there's worse than enforcers out there" WHO ARE YOU FUCKING TALKING ABOUT??? Yourself? You seem to be the worst thing around here! It seems clear he knew Silco was alive but had nothing to blame him for by then.

I'm left with holes that take the shape of "shock value" and "plot twist".

"Ooooh Silco knew the mom, twiiiist, but please don't think about the implications, because we wrote season 1 without taking this in consideration."

Feels like another job for fic writers, but IDK if I have the strength for it. I just like my own version better.

At least now we know that Silco did not IN FACT DO anything to "deserve" what he got. I'm sorry, but throwing a molotov at enforcers when fighting for your freedom is based and Vander was dishing death right there next to him.

The base violence necessary for change, eh? Vander just delayed the price being paid for Zaun's creation.

Hope some of you guys enjoy this bc hardly anyone else on my TikTok or Insta did <3333

Honestly it was kind of fun to do, but I now understand why some people only wrote the name of characters instead of adding pictures cause omg it was too much work—mind you this was originally 5-6 mins but I deleted vids cause of the temporary tiktok ban and bc capcut was shut down

Oh, and this was supposed to be way better quality but I had to rush it bc, again, TikTok and capcut was going down

Doomed Found Family my beloathed

I just want them to be a happy family 😭😭😭

Posting it as a wip because I might not finish it by Act 3 🥲

For all the heartbreak in Act 2 I am forever grateful that it clarified over and over that Jinx is Vander’s daughter

I’ve been a Vander Stan from day 1 and the amount of “Vi was Vander’s daughter, Jinx was Silco’s” posts implying that he didn’t care about her like he did Vi drove me crazy

So I’m gonna need all of the fix it fics after the last episode 😭
