At the request of OP, and Ms. Aabria I’m very sorry if you’ve already been pinged @quiddie

NO BUT FOR REAL THOUGH It's very funny to look at how things came around full circle. I was at the S1 premiere w/ the CR and WBN gang and obviously went cukoobananas when Mel appeared on-screen, so when we were prepping for Calamity she was one of several aesthetic touchpoints for Laerryn's art! Now 3 years later, my girl gets a full mage-over - complete with LCS's gold forehead leyline and eyes? AND HER GO-TO MOVE IS SHIELDING? She's an abjuration wizard! Anyway, thank you kindly for posting this here so I can gush! I've been yelling in my house about her for DAYS. Also, if anyone at Riot sees this - IF YOU DO SPIN OFF MEL'S NOXUS STORY YOU ARE LEGALLY REQUIRED TO HIT ME UP. DEEPLY COMPETENT AND MORALLY COMPLEX BLACK FEMME MAGES ARE MY EXACT DEAL. LET ME IN THAT ROOM.

Aabria what did you think of Arcane as a whole now that it's fully over? 👀👀

IT'S DAY 4 OF WITCH WEEK! We've got five witches in the Coven of Elders, which means artwork of each witch per day for the rest of this week!

Today belongs to Mirara, Witch of the Waning Moon.

Seated already on her throne, you see a woman dressed in robes, deeper and more black than darkest night. A hundred points, sharp as needles, emerging in a crown of spikes, emerging from the back of a head adorned with a completely blank white mask. Arms longer, disproportionate to her already towering form, ending in gloved claws like needles tapping on the arms of her throne.

Stay tuned for the final witch tomorrow!

The Coven of Elders was lovingly brought to life by artist Jack Jones. You can find him here:

Suvi/Mirara endgame confirmed 👀👀👀

I’ve been trying to decide all day if Suvi would be the perfect library patron or the actual worst.

She would never ask a stupid/redundant question, she knows advanced search strategies (my librarian squee when Aabria mention Boolean operators cannot be overstated), she’s got a genuine interest in many topics and loves books……

But. She absolutely thinks that her wizard masters is worth more than a library science masters, and if this is an academic library Steel is definitely a trustee, so her self-importance is off the charts. She does not see the value in community programs and definitely thinks the collection is inadequate.

I think my conclusion is 90% of the time you don’t know she’s there and 10% of the time she’s driving you crazy.

quiddie

Okay wait a damn minute -- Suvi's subclass isn't [type of magic] it's [leadership of a complex org that requires rigorous management of systems and processes] and you think she wouldn't respect a library sciences degree? SLANDER. MADNESS. Also, everyone acts like she's allergic to the concept of community like half of her problem isn't a profound but unexamined devotion to her community. Homegirl was a ward of Steel, but absolutely the village's kid. Like, she was put in every goddamn community program in the Erian until she was entered into Billings at 10.

*points at the scarf interaction with Nif* If she found the collection wanting, she would 100% procure the materials herself and then tell the library to keep them when she's done because she doesn't feel like carrying them back to her tower. That's the kind of brat she is, just to be clear. Lol

quiddie

THIS.

Imagine if your bestie's entire job is cataloguing arcane info in her floating ponderin' orb and you look her dead in the eyes and let all of the knowledge of Avalir's engines and batteries die with you when the Calamity hits because you don't write shit down. Laerryn was a goddamn DEMON. If she remembered to return a book, there's a 90% chance she's added counterpoints or nsfw marginalia.

Would Suvi and Laerryn get along, in general?

How do we convince Brennan and Aabria to turn Steel into Gilear 2.0?

#worlds beyond number #the wizard the witch and the wild one #aabria iyengar #brennan lee mulligan #this is mostly a joke but also not #the crying fits of laughter I would throw if Steel's life became a constant Nat 1 with an unhealthy obsession with yogurt #what would Suvi even do in a situation like that #quiddie

I wonder what kind of verbal smackdown @quiddie would've unleashed on poor Patia here

Lemme be clear - the hardest part of data & stat work is getting clean data. And I am in no way incentivized here to help with that.

#LaerrynSweep (as it should be) but damn lol Patia's really getting no love here 😔😔

I know i have the smallest platform here, but if you guys could boost this and tune into this English or this Russian live stream it would really help out russian protestors right now. Navalny, a prominent opposition candidate that recently survived an assassination attempt, got jailed again and now people protesting against it are getting beaten by cops on the streets for just being there. These live streams are from an independent russian news source and it puts a lot of pressure on the Russian governemt if it gets a lot of views.

Police brutality doesn't only matter in the US.

Hey all! I'm getting ready to teach abroad, so it's time I get ready to start my process with getting a VISA and a passport. Since the first month I can get to the country I intend to teach in (South Korea) is February, I will need to expedite my paperwork, which can get... pretty pricey. If I...

I’m gonna be a teacher. But, I also need your help. I need to start the process of getting my paperwork ready for a worker’s VISA in S.K. + a Passport. These cost money, at least a full paycheck’s worth, and well… I don’t have it. This entire year has been a horrible rollercoaster for me, and a lot of people I love and care for. If I could, I’d pay for this on my own. I’m not really proud of asking for funds, but if there’s a need and if someone can help, it’s a good thing.

So, yeah.

You know the deal.

Signal Boost. Donate. I intend to be there in Feb. I’m nervous, but happy at the same time. - K
