Papercraft Masters of the Bazaar, so far! I made these designs digitally, foolishly not thinking ahead to "what if i did em paper". But I'll get them all eventually...!
I think who they are is quite obvious. If you don't recognize the one in white, Well, that's just a Mr E—
Spin this wheel of ~300 AO3 tags three times.
Congratulations! The 4th dimension exists and you are their FAVORITE blorbo. The tags you got are from the most popular, most influential fanfic starring you. How are you feeling?
this is the best possible outcome for me
this is pretty good
this is fine. i guess.
this is terrible actually
they're assassinating my character
i'm suing the fourth dimension
Perhaps it's just because I'm a short woman who happens to enjoy both frilly dresses and sex, but I get so mad when people say Ariana grande or Sabrina carpenter are encouraging pedos by uh .... being short, enjoying cute things, and enjoying sex. I'm sorry some adult women are very cute and hot and like sex. And it literally has nothing to do with children. The people accusing them of being creeps are the ones inserting children into the discussion at all. (hyumjim voice) And I'm NOT supposed to be creeped out by that???
This post got me blocked by a mutual but I don't care I'm an advocate of women expressing their sexuality EVEN IF they have committed the crime of being short.
Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.
If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.
Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.
Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.
I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.
Writers: It's asking to read your Google Docs and be able to 'summarize' things from them and such things. I just turned all mine off.
why is back sleeping so difficult and uncomfortable when it's supposedly the only way to sleep that doesn't slowly implode all of your bones. the human body seeks its own ruin with the fervor of a cordyceps ant
Dying in sunless sea: if you die you are lost to the depths you cannot return another must take up your mantle.
Dying in Fallen London: I have genuinely considered drowning because it takes less time to get back from that than getting from one side of the zee to another.
here, have some bi-ace solidarity
my favorite part about this is everyone tagging their ace/bi mutuals like "look!! it's us! it's you!!" target audience
stop being funnier than me on my own post
please stop writing "viscous" when you mean "vicious", it produces the weirdest mental images ever
"a viscous murder" yeah i don't want to know what that could look like
it looks like the Boston Molassacre of 1919
#and vice versa btw#i don’t know what a vicious fluid would be like#and i don’t want to find out
it looks like the Boston Molassacre of 1919
Stop saying “there are plenty of fish in the sea”. I’ve got my eye on one specific, emotionally distant salmon with commitment issues
I'm personally after the white whale that took my leg
I also want the whale that took this guys leg
Not amab or afab, but a secret third thing. Hmm what could we call it
I'M GOING FERAL OH MY GODDDDD
thank you(@/buniiiibees on x) for this blessing
hehe winter holidays happy new year i guess
Jayvik & Timebomb Parallels, AKA, why isn't anyone talking how Viktor and Ekko mirror each other in Arcane??
I'm surprised I haven't seen more comparisons between Ekko and Viktor, not to mention how those parallels between the characters also create parallels between the Ekko/Jinx and Viktor/Jayce relationships, which I'm gonna argue here are both romantic relationships.
1 ) Both Viktor and Ekko see it as a personal cause to make life better for people in the undercity, to the point of both becoming a local leaders focused on creating a place of peace where Zaunites can retreat to in times of peril.
Indeed, from a narrative perspective, I would argue that one Doylist reason Ekko needed to go into the Anomaly in Act 2-3 is to make space on the scene in Zaun for the rise of Cult Leader Viktor.
If Ekko had been around, he would have either served as a roadblock to Viktor's rise out of a general sense of distrust, I imagine, or he might have easily become a supporter, or maybe even a cult follower of Viktor's if he admired and believed in the vision, which would of course doom the world.
(This further illustrating just how narrowly Jayce, Wizard Viktor, and Ekkko had to thread the needle on defeating the Machine Herald in the final act, since I would argue Ekko like Jayce remaining in the canon universe for the months of Cult Leader Viktor's rise would also have led to Ekko and Jayce's defeat or assimilation before the final act had either stayed.)
2 ) Both Viktor and Ekko are, of course, genius undercity scientists who are able to grasp quickly concepts like wild runes and the Anomaly. But it's their partner's actions that bring Hexgems into their life. Powder by causing the explosion where he gets the shards from, Jayce of course by creating Hexgems in the first place.
3 ) Both are Heimerdinger's close assistant and pupil before they meet their true scientific partner in Jinx/Powder and Jayce.
4 ) Aaand, this is where it gets gut-wrenching, because both Ekko and Viktor have to say goodbye to the alternate universe version of the person they love and this is where it gets wild because they make the same face while doing so. And their loved one, Jayce and Powder, make the same face back of startling when they realize they're looking at an alternate version of the person they love.
(Source here if you want to watch the full videos side by side because it's NUTS how similar the faces Viktor/Ekko and Jayce/Powder make to their alternate universe loves: https://x.com/yearnerjayce/status/1863132466346656031)
In the blocking of the scene, they've even both got a version of one half of that universe's part of the relationship lying between the two of them (Powder holding her version of Ekko, while the Hexcorized version of Jayce lies between Wizard Viktor and canon Jayce), so the blocking is visually very similar too in a clear romantic parallel that is mind-boggling.
By the way, these moments are also technically happening in the same episode as far as romantic parallels go, we just don't learn about this parallel on Viktor/Jayce's side until the final episode with the full reveal.
And of course, both future Viktor and canon universe Ekko must make the ultimate sacrifice of losing access to an alternate version of the person they love who is happy and healthy (instead of, well, Jinx, and/or dead in the case of Hexcorized Jayce), in order to save the world.
By the way, there is a parallel that stretches throughout the whole 2.07 alternate universe episode, with the heavy implication that Ekko and Powder are this world's Viktor and Jayce. They're even doing an Innovators Competition. In both universes, Hextech is explored through the loving partnership of a pair of young scientists.
5 ) Finally, both Viktor and Ekko stop their loved one from committing suicide. Interestingly, both Jayce and Jinx attempt to do so in a way that's related to Hextech, with Jinx using Hexgems in her grenade, and Jayce getting cut off from Hextech being the reason he's seeking to end his own life. They also, coincidentally or not so coincidentally, attempt to do so in a way that's related to falling from a height.
Both are interrupted by someone they're not too happy to see at first, but who goes on to be their partner. Even Jinx/Ekko get one last partnership in the final Act, which is an interesting mirror to Jayce/Viktor, whose suicide attempt -> partnership helps launch the action of the whole series in the first Act of the first season, making these two couples in a way, mirrors bookending the series.
Oh my gosh, I never realised the parallels between viktor and Ekko because I have always interpreted the timebomb and jayvik parallels as it being ekko and jayce vs viktor and jinx.
However, now that I think about it, even though Jinx and jayce never met, they are low-key, pretty similar, and share an intriguing amount of parallels.
You obviously have the basics of both jayce and Jinx being incredibly intelligent and figuring out hextech.
However, you also have the fact that both jayce and Jinx create weapons with hextech that they use to tear down piltover/viktor's commune.
Both of them are shown to genuinely be freaking out and being totally out of it when they are seen loading their weapons voices of silco/viktor haunting their head as they shoot down and have their action show the beginning of chaos!
Both of them get pushed into becoming symbols of zaun and piltover. Jayce becomes piltovers golden boy/man of progress, whereas jinx becomes a symbol for zaun's rebellion.
Mel's "you're a symbol of the future, now jayce," and sevika's "you're a symbol."
Silco and Mel politically manipulate jayce and Jinx while also being shown to genuinely love and care for the two characters, but both Jinx and jayce feel betrayed in a sense of that manipulation.
Both of them not really wanting anything to do with politics in the first place and being shown much more happier inventing stuff.
Both jinx and jayce having the same reaction to realising that viktor and isha are dead or are going to die.
Both jinx and Jayce's final outfits being one that heavily reminds them of said characters (isha and viktor) that they lost.
Both jayce and Jinx are depicted as impulsive.
Both Jinx and jayce are also shown to be incredibly naive at the beginning of the show, wanting to help people but going about it the wrong way and causing tragedy.
Both jayce and Jinx hallucinating loved ones when they're at their worst state all isolated.
Finally, both of them having a scene of them saying "iam sorry too" in season 2
How jayce's experience with a magic rune was a positive one where he and viktor are flowing around while powder falls from a great height and finds out the horrifying damage hextech has led to killing Mylo and claggor.
Or how both of them were rejects in a way from their social circles trying to prove themselves and be better.
So far, these are the parallels I can think of, but I know there is more, and I mean way, more like these two's relationship with the creation of hextech.
