I had an idea for claggor with a reader who is basically Gordon Ramsey. LMAO, I mean, she's like a 5 star michelin chef/baker type. She can make delicious meals out of scratch and cheap ingredients (maybe she works with Jericho, and that's how they met ???👀) your claggor work is so amazing. I'd love to see what you do with this!!

prompt: Claggor is helping you set up yours and Jericho’s new restaurant
“Clag, help!” You grit through your teeth as you were on a ladder, trying to hold up a heavy box that was slipping off of the shelf. “Babe!” You cry, his head pops up from underneath the counter as he was currently trying to fix an electrical problem. But seeing you in distress he automatically rushes to your side.
“I told you to wait, [Name].” He frowns, holding the box so you can climb back down. He steps up, pushing the box back up. “I got impatient.” You sheepishly look away from him. He places his hands on his hips, towering over you. “Well, listen to me next time please.” He sighs, giving you a disappointed look to which you smile. “Sorry, babe.” You stand on your tiptoes and peck his lips.
“Mhm, you’re going to not listen to me again so your sorry means nothing to me.” He heads back over to the counter, getting back to what he was doing. “Mm, you’re right.” You nod your head, eyeing that box with a hateful glare.
The two of you were fixing up an old shop and turning it into a small restaurant. You used to work for Jericho and he’s branching his own business out. Since he trusts you he decided to make you a co-owner for this place.
And here you are. You truly enjoyed working and cooking for Jericho. He practically took you under his wing. He showed you everything you knew. Then you learned your own tricks. Making food exciting and fun. You love it and so you took pride in now working for yourself and co-owning a place like this with Jericho.
“You hungry?” You hum out to your boyfriend. Going to your walk-in fridge that barely had anything in it yet. “If you’re cooking.” Claggor responds, not looking over to you. “Well, it’s definitely not going to be you who’s cooking. You’ve burnt bread before.” You tease him as you pull out multiple ingredients. “Plus I want to make a few things off of the new menu, get your opinion.” You tell him.
“First off, rude. You distracted me. Second, I’d love to share my opinion.” He points a finger at you, looking back to the cords that stuck out. He was trying to figure out how to place them back in the wall or tape them up so it wasn’t such a fire-hazard. “You’re obsessed with me, not my fault. And I knew you would. I love cooking for you.” You sing as you prep out the food along with the oven and stove.
“You’re my girlfriend, of course I’m obsessed with you.” He rolls his eyes, muttering a small yes under his breath when he finally deciphers how to place the stupid bunch of wires.
“Mm, if you say so.” You chuckle, beginning to chop up the vegetables on a small cutting board. “I’m missing a few things so if these don’t turn out good it’s not my fault.” You notified him, you were slightly disappointed because you wanted him to truly know the things that are going on the menu.
“It’s okay, hun. I’ll probably still like it.” He stands up, walking up behind you, admiring you in your element. He loved watching you cook or bake. The focused expression that adorned your face, how natural it all looked on you. It made him happy that you had something so dear to you that’s also your career.
“I feel your eyes burning me.” You comment, peering at him through your peripheral vision. He grins. “Sorry.” He snakes his hands onto your hips. Kissing the back of your head. You leaned back into him while still cutting up the food. The two of you didn’t hear the front door open, a large man entering and checking everything out. He sits on the counter stool, smacking the counter. “Ahem, I’d like to order!” His voice booms, startling the both of you.
“Jericho!” The two of you announce and you laugh. “Too bad, old man. We ain’t open yet.” You “inform” him and he snickers. “No exception for the elderly?”
“We hate the elderly.” You joke and he gasps, clutching his chest. “Wow. What a ruthless one you are. I’m starting to question my decision.” He says, causing the three of you to laugh. “I’m actually making some food off the new menu if you want to try it when I’m done?” You offer, showing off the cutting board behind you.
He waves his hand. “No need, I just wanted to check in. Seems like everything is on track for opening day.” He sits proudly, and you nod your head. “Alrighty, it was nice seeing you!” You come out from the counter and pull him into an embrace. “You as well, little one.” He gruffs. “Can’t believe how grown you two are.” He breathes out, feeling sentimental at the sight of the two of you. He had been feeding Vander’s kids for years and you, he hired you at the young age of 13 since he was friends with your mother. You wanted a job to help out at home and he figured it couldn’t hurt to put you to work. Your mom hesitantly agreed to it and ever since the two of you have been as thick as thieves.
It then led you to meet Claggor. The love of your life. He got to watch your whole love story unfold.
“Crazy, I remember when [Named] gushed and fawned over you at 16 and now the two of you are practically married.” He dramatically says, purposely messing with you. You hit his arm with knitted eyebrows. “It was lovely seeing you, Jer. Don’t you think it’s time to go now?” You look down at you watch that graced your wrist and he cackles, hitting your back with such force.
“Alright, alright. See the two of you later.” He smiles, looking over to Claggor who waves goodbye. “Nice seeing you, Jericho.”
“You as well.” He huffs as he’s getting shoved out by you. “Get out of here.” You spat, slamming the door behind him, locking it as well. You huff, crossing your arms. Claggor smirks at you from behind the counter. Raising a brow your way to which you flip him off. “Don’t even.” You warn him, heading back over to the food.
He puts his hands up in defense. “Wasn’t even going to say anything.” He denies it and you scoff. Not believing him. “I mean, you gushed over me at 16… who would want to talk about that.” He jokes and you let out a loud groan. “Shut up or you’re not eating my food!” You threaten.
“Anything but that, your food is like a piece of heaven I don’t think I could live without.” He clasps his hands together, pretending to plead with your empty threat. You press your lips together trying not to smile.
Claggor sits at one of the booths you had cleaned off for the both of you. He gently taps on the table as he waits for you like he was told to. You wanted to serve him the food the correct way. On a tray and everything as you come out. “I took a small bite, definitely not how it’s supposed to be but I think you’ll still enjoy it.” You tell him as you place the plates on the table. He gawks at how delicious everything looks.
“Sure.” He tucks a napkin on the collar of his shirt. His mouth watering just by the sight of your food. You were always anxious about the things you cook or bake. Never having the right ingredients because honestly you couldn’t afford them. Nevertheless it always turns out amazing so Claggor never understood your fear.
You plop on the booth across from him. Your gaze observing him as he takes his first bite. You gnaw on your bottom lip, nervous. He lets out a loud moan, adding emphasis on it. Sort of exaggerating his reaction but not really.
“[Name], you’ve done it again. You literally can’t leave me.” He grabs your hand, looking sincerely in your eyes and your face heats up. “I don’t plan on leaving you but good to know I can’t specifically because of my cooking skills.” You playfully roll your eyes, digging into the food as well.
“You know that’s not the only reason… just the main one.” He takes another bite while squeezing your hand. “You’re stupid, Claggor.” You take your hand to your side as he makes kissy lips your way.
Draw sad steb with sad vi. both mourning ppl and etc. maybe a rainy atmosphere as well cause they're depressed together 😞
I was raised that to honor the dead is by continuing their memory and celebrating through stories. There is still mourning and regret, but it is carefully cared for and wrapped in heart filled nostalgia
It definitely shows here lol. What with Jericho's storytelling of how he helped fight in the finale and the three of them all going back and forth with good memories of the people lost

MASTERLIST
Part of the pre-production stage involved designing characters, environments, and props, with teams specializing in each of those areas. "In general we rank the characters based not on their screen time, but on the narrative and symbolic importance the directors have assigned them," character and props design supervisor Matthieu Gouget de Landres said. "For example a character may appear in only a shot or a scene but could have an outsize meaning. The sushi vendor in Season 1, a kind of big fish-lizard guy, required a huge amount of work for not much screen time. But we wanted the character to be representative of the racial diversity found in Zaun." "You want to be able to recycle some elements both in modelization and in rigging-which is the mechanical skeleton of how the character moves," Gouget de Landres continued. "As soon as you start coming up with different races, it gets complicated because they have different proportions. If they're not humanoid, you can't easily reuse their rigging on humanoid characters, which is most of our cast. In Season 2 we have a character named Lest, who is a vastaya, a race from League of Legends.She attends to Salo, who had his legs broken in Jinx's attack on the Council. She's a kind of cat-woman, and [some] vastaya have inverted legs. It would have meant creating a new marionette, at least from the waist down, with inverted legs-which means a new way to walk-for one character." He laughed. "So she wears a dress." He also brought up a montage in Episode 205 in which Vi, who has been doing mixed martial arts, fights a series of opponents. "There are fast cuts during which you see each guy for two seconds, tops. So we thought, 'Okay, we're going to recycle some people, we'll reuse some body types, we'll tweak some pre-existing stuff.' But the directors were like, 'No, no, no! We want some badass characters!' We ended up designing a whole bunch of new badass characters, all different from one another, and then modeling, texture, and rigging had to work on brand-new stuff-all that for two seconds of screen time for each character. The upside of creating a whole character, even if you only see him from the shoulders up in that scene, is that you can reuse him somewhere else. So maybe some of the guys in that fight sequence with Vi pop up in the battle in the last episode. It helps fill the scene and also provides a small wink: 'Ah yeah, we saw that guy earlier.' It helps create a richer world."

With Jinx's additional little doodles, including the little cat ears and whiskers with "whiskers" written inside, the whiskers she added on to Lest, the doodles on Lest's top, the stripes she added onto her tail and the little "hiss" she doodled near one of Lest's unused designs.
Very cute unused design with his "meat" belt

I apologise in advance for the quality, no matter what I do, this are pretty awful 😢
Vi's pages are almost completely covered in doodles, you can really see how uch Jinx adores (and I would say even admires despite their many fights) her big sister.
That's all for today! This was requested by a familiar anon🧁 that I haven't seen in a long time, thank you for the kind words!

To answer your questions 🧁:
No, I won’t stop posting about Arcane, despite some rude comments in my inbox. I have to admit, it wasn’t entirely unexpected (having seen toxic behavior from certain parts of the community before) but I had hoped to avoid it a little longer, since I rarely interact with people outside my circle.
That said, to answer the second question: yes, I do have favorites. The characters from Zaun and their dynamics are what I enjoy most about the show (which is a bit unfortunate, since Season 2 left me disappointed by the lack of focus on Ekko, Vi, and Jinx’s relationships 😢).
Silco is someone I take to heart. Hearing horror stories of a military dictatorship, I see in him an oppressed man desperate to free his people from their oppressor (though sometimes through the wrong means). He reminds me of stories from my own family. My grandmother, and to some extent my mother (though she was very young), lived under the Brazilian dictatorship. That kind of resistance, even in just a show, resonates deeply with me.
Every revolution is a war. And wars are written in blood.
Silco’s methods were violent, but his desperation and ideals felt tragically familiar.
I won’t claim to fully understand what it’s like, having spent most of my life in Europe, in a lower middle class household, but I try to be as aware as possible, out of respect for those who live through such struggles today.
As for the last point, you're right in assuming I’m not particularly invested in CaitVi. I don’t actively hate them, but I prefer not to engage with the ship or its fanbase (directly) due to repeated unpleasant experiences. (The ask I posted isn't the first deeply unpleasant one I’ve received from what I assume to be a CaitVi fan, I usually just delete them. But this one rubbed me the wrong way on an already upsetting day, so I ended up lashing out.)
However, I do want to keep this blog as unbiased as possible—though I admit I may not always succeed, and for that, I apologize. Regardless of others' behavior, I will post CaitVi-related content when it’s requested (and, as I mentioned before, no one has actually done so yet) as long as it's a respectful/neutral request.
So yes, feel free to send in page requests! And thank you again to those who’ve sent kind messages. I know not every fan behaves this way, but unfortunately, the loudest voices often leave the worst impression.
As for everyone else:
I know most of you are just here to enjoy the artbook and the show, and I really appreciate that. The supportive comments (more than a dozen, might I add) I’ve received since posting my reply to the negativity have been genuinely heartening, your presence and interest in this little blog means a lot to me. I’m only sorry to have dragged some of you into this situation unintentionally.
I apologize for any grammar or spelling mistakes, I'm currently on the train trying to get back home. My friend's car broke down in the middle of a trip yesterday and we were stuck on the highway for a while that's why I was worried if I could post today or not 😑
