How did I end up with such amazing friends through mutual brainrot of one fictional man? I had started the process of commissioning @eriochromatic for art of a scene from the last chapter of TMSA, but unfortunately had to back out of it for personal reasons.
Then @juniper-sunny swooped in, paid for it, and had it finished for me!!!???!?!! I cannot thank you enough, Juni! You are one of the kindest souls I have had the pleasure to come to know. I hope one day I can hang out with you irl. And Erio, as always, you blew this out of the park. Look at how regal and victorious my man is 🥺🥺🥺
Children of Zaun!
By now, word has spread of the events of tonight. I am here to say—definitively, without question—you are free!
They did not give you your freedom! You! You, brothers and sisters, you took your freedom! You fought and slaved over it. Through blood, sweat, and tears, you lifted Piltover’s boot off your face and said in one unified voice ‘No! We will not take this anymore!’
All those years—those decades—of waiting, and planning, and hoping. It all came to this.
Let us take a moment to reflect on those who could not be with us tonight in our journey, but whose shoulders we proudly stand on.
Revel in the victory. It is your victory. But come tomorrow, the real work begins. Let us show all of Runeterra who we are. Show them all…
The Nation of Zaun!
