You are somewhere, not in death or life

For more details and my ramblings about this below the break

GOD this scene really struck me when it happened, I have had this wip sketched out since it happened! So I have spent a lot of time shoving little details in here, and getting this just right.

The bottom pose of Occtis is based on Giovanni Dupré dying Abel (yes Abel from Cain and Abel), which felt fitting for Occtis's story of being betrayed by his family.

On the bottom I drew the soul of Pin, which is why he doesn't have his little button eyes. IDK why but his soul resting there reminded me of all the pets who refuse to leave their owners even in death.

The birds, I realized after finishing this should've been nightingales, but with the amount of times magpies were mentioned in this series I think we can all forgive my mistakes LOL.

On the top end, I wanted to visually show the pull from his heart to wander deeper into the forest, cause that really stuck with me during that scene.

Yk with the anime coming out figured it might be time to dust off this oc and finally finish them. Still a WIP but liking where this is going so far

Text post to explain my jayvik WHA Au cause I need to throw my thoughts out there.

Under the break so this post doesn’t show up giant on the feed

Basic setting stuff

Ama and Naph are Jayce and Viktor apprentices. Jayce and Viktor run a small magic supply shop called “the wild use” where they sell magical supplies, herbs, and make magical disability aids.

They started the shop together after Jayce was nearly banished for pushing the limits of “allowed” magic, as none of his magic is directly Medical or applied to the skin but he toes a line. Viktor, an apprentice under Heimerdinger ( who is basically Beldaruit) argued for Jayce’s devices. A such Viktor was assigned to essentially be Jayce’s watchful eye, to ensure their devices never stepped to far.

These two work extremely well together, and the store stays within the magical laws.

Year 1 they get a cat. They started having Viktor cat (rio) but in year one Viktor finds Blitz ( a cat with a severly broken leg) who he and Jayce build a small contraption (go look up cat wheel chairs to get a visual idea) to help him more easily move around.

About 2 years in they take in ama, and then a year later Naph. Neither of the two ever intended to have apprentices but they love those kids like their own.

Cut to ama and Naph thinking these two are married and just weirdly trying to hide if for a while. At some point they definitely ask and they’re both really cagey about it (both are pinning but surely won’t admit it).

To keep the timeline similar to cannon at year 7 of their partnership (they’re had amazing 5 years, and Naph 4) Viktor a condition beings to deteriorate. Which spurs Jayce into 1) confessing and 2) Jayce and Viktor stepping purposely into forbidden magic.

It starts with Viktor large back tattoo to help straighten his spine, as the external brace isn’t helping enough anymore. It will eventually end in them creating a series on sigils to go on Viktor chest to help with his lung condition. They attempt to hide these things for a long as possible from the kids but they only lasts so long.

Idk where I want this to end yet but that’s the basic premise.

Jayvik WHA magic shop!

as always my yapping about the piece under the break :D

Okay so this piece was a monster but god DAMN a I proud of it. I wanted to get a feel for the jayvik abode so I had to draw it. I figured these two inventive men would have to run a magic supply shop in the WHA universe it just makes sense to me! I wanted to include as many nods to the arcane hence the anomaly imagery in viktors coat and painted on the walls. I also couldn't help myself and made a hexcrystal style lamp :D

I designed this in mind with this being before viktor becomes a brimmed hat, when he and jayce are very above the board making magical devices to help people. It's hard to see in this piece but viktor is wearing his back brace, but I designed it to work kind of similar to the knights moralis banners

The two cats are Rio and Blitz, blitz is the one by viktor with the cat wheelchair as a nod to his cannon robot self.

Jayvik WHA au

I'm gonna write more about this au so it doesn't just stay stuck in my head. So making a master post for everything I post about it

The basics

Art posts Viktor's back tattoo Viktor at their shop

[spectralonyx]

Doodle of Viktor for my WHA au

As always thoughts for the art under the break :p

Of the two of them (Jayce and Viktor) we all always knew Viktor would be the one to test forbidden magic. Cause I think he sees how unfair and limiting it is for magic that could clearly help people to be kept away just because it could be twisted for evil.

I'm not sure I'm fully settled on this exactly back design yet but I think its pretty close to what I would make for a magical back brace

[spectralonyx]

It's Jayvik Week!!! Here's my piece for day two, firsts! As usual my rambalings about the art ( and close up of the painting) under the break :D

So this is a modern au of Jayce who became an artist, and paints based on dreams he has of Arcane Viktor and Jayce. But I thought these dreams would only be fragments and so these paintings would be different moments thrown together. So like this one is commune viktor, but the background is the scene where he saw mage viktor, and the floor is based on the goo Viktor was stuck in in the lab. I will def be doing more of this au cause its so fun, and I need to figure out viktors role :D

[bogleech]

Young people have GOT to stop talking about conservatives like they're scary menacing monsters. Yes the policies they back are horrifically destructive but that's entirely because of how individually stupid, fearful, emotionally stunted, weak willed and catastrophically gullible they are. That all is what made them become right wing to begin with. Just the most easily manipulated zombie sheep on earth.

[just7frogsinapeoplesuit]

People I have encountered in the past month who voted for Tr*mp include:

- Homeless girl who asked for my pronouns immediately and used them correctly every time

- Hispanic woman with a large family who just got her citizenship and is still working on her English

Neither of these women understood what they were supporting, they mostly saw ads that he was going to reduce grocery prices and voted based on that. Neither of them have consistent access to information or any relevant political education, nor the time, money, or energy to seek it out because they are focused on surviving.

A vast amount of republican voters are exactly the same, and it's a direct result of the GOP strategically denying them resources. We cannot move forward if you throw people to the curb for not knowing any better.

[just7frogsinapeoplesuit]

I need to emphasize that these people are "stupid, fearful, emotionally stunted, weak willed and catastrophically gullible" because they have been forcefully kept in poverty without access to proper education, therapy, or community support and fed fearmongering propaganda their entire lives without anyone ever showing them life can be better. They are traumatized and exhausted and a lot of them are trapped in religious cults.

They are like this because the GOP has meticulously engineered huge swaths of the country to be that way. It is not an inherent personal failing and it is very likely you would be the same had you grown up in the same circumstances.

You do not have to shake hands with bigots, but you need to have compassion and understanding for people who have not yet been given the resources and political understanding you have.

[just7frogsinapeoplesuit]

I'm not done here actually. Dehumanization like "zombie sheep" is in direct opposition to the kinds of strategies we are going to need to survive after January 6th. Yes, these people voted for something horrific, but they are still people and as things get bad most of them are going to be negatively impacted– and when that happens we need to be there to support them because that is how we get them to join us and fight back. Everything that makes them susceptible to right-wing propaganda will work in our favor in the right circumstances.

We simply will not get anywhere if we are determined to not see people we hate as people. Humans can learn and grow, zombie sheep cannot.

ETA: Since people are misconstruing my meaning here, we punch fascists on sight. But if someone says "I didn't realize this would happen when I voted for the fascists" or there's even a single crack in their loyalty you scoop them up ASAP no matter how much you want to toss them off a cliff because with a bit of compassion you can get them to turn against the fascists, and that is how we win.

[just7frogsinapeoplesuit]

I was going to be done with this post, but just came across something I want to add because it's a lens anyone who primarily interacts with politics online is completely missing:

This is the heart of what I was trying to get across. People are not black-or-white, they're messy and diverse and a lot more malleable than you might think. If you gauge party politics by what you see online and in the media you do not understand the average American at all.

If you see right-wing voters as a distinct class of people it just shows that you exist in a bubble. Only people with a certain level of education and access to information talk about politics the way it's discussed on the internet, and if you refuse to exit that bubble out of fear and hatred you will not be able to successfully organize resistance to the coming administration.

[hiveswap]

I hope none of you disappear in the coming days. Seriously don't do anything that can't be undone.

[hiveswap]

I know i'm just a random person you follow online but I mean it. People (all kinds of marginalised people too!) Have survived all types of horrible times and managed to find happiness eventually. If for no one else, survive for them. And also, try to survive because the people making you despair don't want you to live. Don't give this to them. Don't give your life. The best thing you can do is cling to it with everything you've got.
