Some notes for a post canon story for arcane! I’m coping. This pbbly wont get written but it’s super fun to daydream about, and yall know how I love daydreaming.

(Anyways i think that vi should have a cool jacket in every new arc like how jinx has a new haircut.)

((Story ideas include; Jinx finally decides to send a postcard from demacia, of all places. Caitlyn is a reformed war criminal trying to not continue war criminalling. Vi gets embroiled in political machinations on accident (all she wanted to do was plant some trees). Ekko is once again the mvp.))

Sketchbook available on Patreon for two whole dubloons!

Omg the situation in-game when you line-up LeBlanc and Swain’s voicelines and how they actually interact now is kinda hilarious.

She absolutely hates Swain’s guts and is seething the moment she sees him.

Meanwhile Swain is just happy for her attention.

Leblanc continues to seethe and be passive aggressive around him.

Meanwhile Swain is unbothered, continuing to flirt with her all through it.

And of course the infamous line that they’re “enemies with benefits”

Which btw, considering how infamous it is, I’m surprise Riot didn’t include a SPECIFIC response to this line, but unfortunately budget of an indie company /s

However her generic taunt response of tossing him into a pit for his horny also works lol.

Some may have wanted LeBlanc to flirt back, but honestly, this whole dynamic is actually much funnier and interesting to me.

Aside from Mordekaiser (for understandable reasons), Swain is the ONLY other person who causes LeBlanc to raise her voice and exhibit more emotion. While she rages and seethes, Swain is talking to her completely normally, even with affection.

There’s also the larger contrast between the two, where LeBlanc obviously doesn’t trust ANYONE except herself and is very defensive as a result. Meanwhile Swain actually once had to depend on other people and does have true friends, people he trusts (Darius, Draven, Katarina) and fostered true bonds and loyalty with. I’ll get into that discussion at a later date.

Some food for thought for swainblanc dynamics, from an official source:

Swain’s then-narrative writer agreed that it “makes sense” that LeBlanc sending assassins constantly at Swain is NOT actually be to kill him, but to FEED their souls to Swain when Swain kills them. All so that he won’t ’run dry’; as Raum keeps Swain’s leg healed and serves as his arm as long as there are souls to fuel Raum.

That’s right. She’s letting her own assassins be snacks for Swain, all to keep him healthy. I assume those assassins prolly have disappointed her in the past so she sends them as ‘care packages’ in a suicide run at Swain, in the guise of a legit assassination attempt.

Like this is them. Leblanc can only show ‘care’ for Swain under the guise of murder; meanwhile Swain hints he knows what her intentions really are in his voiceline that plays when he starts a match with an opposing LeBlanc on the field: “An assassin is due any moment. It’s how I know LeBlanc cares.” But he can pretend he’s quipping sarcastically to give her an out.

Ok I don’t think I’m missing anything. The only full rose blooms was the rose at the start of the trailer, the giant metaphorical rose at the end…

…and the two roses around Swain (and Raum) during the panning montage right?!

The first at bottom right as he appears; and then top left right over him and Raum!

What do you mean by this, LeBlanc?!

Honestly I don’t see it as like… ❤️s lol. Maybe that Swain is perfectly cultivated, the ultimate specimen of her centuries project to produce an actual exceptional ruler…that can undermine her as a result and lead to them having their particular relationship.
