Hi! Wondering do you still used the same brush settings as your last brush post? I've tried using it and the strokes aren't coming out much like they do in your drawings :/ maybe I just suck lol

yup i still use my lanxin brush:

but i’ve been using a charcoal brush instead for sketching + lineart!

[milk-teah]

Hello, I absolutely love your work! If you don’t mind me asking, what are your brush settings?

I have a bunch of brushes but these are the only ones I ever use :D

Pencil -> for sketching and lineart

Pen -> Thick lines and details

Paper (1) -> For coloring

Paper (2) -> For blushes and lips, also if I want an airbrushy effect

Spy x Family chapter (now that Yor admitted she's in love)

Loid's bed breaks. Maybe in the middle of the night.

Yor hears and goes check, and says "You can sleep in my bed."

Loid is all "Oh I don't know, we're not really married blah blah blah"

Yor responds "I don't mind it", completely throwing off Twilight.

His real concern is that sleeping on the same bed would make Yor very aware that he basically doesn't sleep, and that's going to be a conversation, and if that goes badly it could put the mission in jeopardy

He says he'll sleep on the couch, oops Bond is sleeping there.

So he ends up sleeping with Yor and nothing happens but he's still worried sick about it, or, he oversleeps and arrives late in his psychiatrist cover job

Rewatching Spy x Family, and noticed something

Loid called the resort and trip "exhausting"

In the first episode, when he felt genuine pride for Anya passing the entrance exam, he immediately collapsed from what? Exhaustion.

Because it was real. Because he relaxed for a second, and his exhaustion caught up to him

When Twilight is "exhausted", it's because he was genuinely happy

[ideksams]

loid makes a confession 🌹 i can't decide if this is angst or hopeless romantic twiyor... uhehe.

(post-reveal and open to interpretation as to what's happening here haha)

Jayce piece 🛠️

Vintage Jayce and Viktor, in their early days

Arcane2 is finally here. So I will now use my photoshop powers for evil

Mel's protection should have saved Viktor too, and she's trying to figure out why it didn't

(Editing to add: see this post for details on the Mel's armor/shield theory)

S2 ep1 shows a circle of protected stone where Mel and Jayce were during the explosion. My theory is that Mel's magic armor activated and saved them both. It seems like it casts a sphere of protection around wherever Mel is.

The center of this circle is not Mel's seat - it's Jayce's. She ran to Jayce to save him.

No other Councilors were in range of Mel's protection, so they all got hurt or killed.

But Viktor was, in Jayce's words, "right next to" him. He was easily within Mel's circle of protection.

1) Viktor tried to run and mistakenly left the circle of protection. But are we meant to believe that Viktor, close to dying already and using a crutch, would have outrun Mel?

2) Viktor's augmented body clashes with Mel's

Why does Mel try to touch Viktor in episode 1? It seems like a throwaway moment, but not even Jayce touches him in this scene. So why Mel?

She's curious. And possibly, feeling responsible. She's wondering why her protection didn't work.

Is this Hexcore brand of the Arcane trying to reach out to Mel? Or trying to defend itself from her?

Mel was trying to protect both Jayce and Viktor, which is reflected in how she holds Jayce as well as Viktor's cane when she promises to protect Hextech:

But if, for example, Mel's magic is Solari in origin, and Viktor's is from the Void - or the Arcane equivalent of similar opposing forces - then it's possible that their magic rejects or hurts one another. So Mel's circle of protection either rejected Viktor, or was what hurt Viktor, and not the explosion.

I saw someone say on TikTok that "Viktor loved jayce too early and Jayce loved Viktor too late" and it's all I've been able to think about.

im dissolving in sulfuric acid

[love-byers]

no one's mentioned how viktor has his cane here even though he's not even standing and it's jayce's hallucination/fantasy

jayce meant it when he said he loves viktor wholly, not excluding his disabilities, and that he thinks viktor's imperfections are beautiful and admirable

viktor's cane, and therefore his disability, is a part of him and not something even jayce's subconscious could cast aside as he was losing his mind. his high opinion and adoring perception of viktor has always included the parts of him that viktor himself views as flawed and shameful

[420technoblazeit]

so much of viktor's obsession with the glorious evolution was rooted in hatred and dissatisfaction of his own body. it's only when jayce tells him that he doesn't see him as someone needing to be fixed, but beautiful in his imperfection that viktor is able to let go of that mission. ohhhhhhhh it's so good

[reyenii]

8 times jayce touched viktor

and once viktor touched jayce back

[420technoblazeit]

it's funny that we were all so worried about viktor's villain arc and then jayce was like L + ratio + here's my unconditional love and forgiveness + i always thought your imperfections were beautiful + nothing about you is broken to me + in every universe i will find you and save you from your loneliness + none of this is worth it if you arent by my side. and viktor folded IMMEDIATELY

[love-byers]

bisexuality demons were kicking his ass

[viktorianity]

goddd, something i can’t get over is how jayce didn’t even fucking spare a second glance at viktor’s augmented leg. AND he didn’t even judge him at all or how he looked after he came back to consciousness. he’s just like i would love viktor even if he was a worm, im just glad he’s alive and here with me.

and then when viktor left, he just slept all night in the lab, looking rough and being completely miserable.
