A SINGLE GEAR TURNING...

... MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE. rp & ask blog for Blitzcrank, the Great Steam Golem || fusion of 2011 & 2016 canon || written by Poro

[thesinglegear]

"Greetings, fleshlings."

This is an independent roleplay blog for Blitzcrank, the Great Steam Golem from League of Legends. Penned by Poro, mun of @metalvsflesh.

This interpretation is a fusion of my old blog, 2011 lore, and 2016 lore. Any lore developments and rewrites caused by the Netflix series Arcane is and will be ignored, but muses taking them into account are still welcomed to interact so long as you respect the fact that Blitzcrank will treat your muse as if they are from an Alternate Universe.

Additionally, please note this blog is a side blog and my secondary roleplay blog, with my primary roleplay blog ( @mxgalodon ) taking priority. As such, replies may be slow. Please do not hesitate to approach me with questions or plot ideas, however.

Important Information (below the cut):

Blitzcrank is genderfluid (masculine-leaning) and uses they/he pronouns.

This blog does not have a primary Viktor. By default, Blitzcrank does not know the status of Viktor and has mixed feelings about him. They believe he abandoned them to Stanwick, but have fond memories of him otherwise.

That being said, I am willing to interact with any and all Viktors who are interested in writing with a Blitzcrank as if he is their designated Viktor. I'm perfectly fine with adapting the lore I abide by to fit with your Viktor's lore. I only ask you give me a run down if it is not clearly outlined on your blog.

The only exception to this is any Arcane-based Viktors, as he is not a machinist and did not create Blitzcrank. All Arcane-based Viktors will be treated as if they were from alternate universes.

THE FLOURISH AND SHEATHE

[the-evolution-comes]

wink. [nonverbal prompts] (thesinglegear)

"Hold still."

Viktor left for only a moment, returning with a tool box and step ladder.

"Kneel, please. Your right eye seems to be malfunctioning."

[thesinglegear]

"ʏᴏᴜ'ʀᴇ ᴍᴀʟғᴜɴᴄᴛɪᴏɴɪɴɢ," the golem quipped back, without a moment’s hesitation. He made a dramatic show of rolling his eyes as soon as Viktor rounded back with the tool box. "ɪ ᴀᴍ sᴜʀᴘʀɪsᴇᴅ ʏᴏᴜ ʀᴇᴍᴇᴍʙᴇʀᴇᴅ ʏᴏᴜʀ 'ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ' ᴀɴᴅ 'ᴛʜᴀɴᴋ ʏᴏᴜ's. ғʀᴏᴍ ᴍʏ ᴏʙsᴇʀᴠᴀᴛɪᴏɴs, ᴀᴅᴜʟᴛs ᴏᴠᴇʀ ᴛʜᴇ ᴀɢᴇ ᴏғ 𝟹𝟶𝟶 - ʟɪᴋᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀsᴇʟғ - sᴇᴇᴍ ᴛᴏ ғᴏʀɢᴇᴛ ʙᴀsɪᴄ ᴍᴀɴɴᴇʀs."

Blitzcrank - for lack of a better term - squatted to the level requested. There was a certain smugness to the way he handled himself, despite his expression staying completely neutral. As if one were waiting for a prank to start...

[metalvsflesh]

Art prompt: Blitzcrank, but unbearably smug.

“I am not sugarcoating any such thing.” Orianna said with a particular rush. Had she come off as defensive in her tone? She hadn’t the time to decipher herself.

“I am simply saying that the. Meaning. Is well. Though, the execution may require fine tuning.”

"ɪʀʀᴇɢᴜʟᴀʀ sᴘᴇᴇᴄʜ ᴘᴀᴛᴛᴇʀɴs ʙᴇᴛʀᴀʏ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴛʀᴜᴇ ᴛʜᴏᴜɢʜᴛs," Blitzcrank stated matter-of-factly. "ɪ ᴡɪʟʟ ɢʀᴀɴᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀɴᴏᴛʜᴇʀ ᴀᴛᴛᴇᴍᴘᴛ. ɪᴛ's ᴀᴅᴠɪsᴇᴅ ʏᴏᴜ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ʟɪᴇ ᴛʜɪs ᴛɪᴍᴇ."

“Fathers are the worst. It’s like their job is to mess us up.” @thesinglegear​

There was a rather heavy pause from the smaller machine, one that had seemed to hold for just a hair too long.

“I do not think that is inherently true,” she replied slowly, as if trying hard to pick out the appropriate words. “I think it is more along the lines of going beyond their… skill set.”

[thesinglegear]

"ɪ ᴅᴇᴛᴇᴄᴛ ʜᴇsɪᴛᴀᴛɪᴏɴ."

The golem didn’t really know what she meant by ‘beyond their skillset’. Perhaps with a little thought he could, but, frankly, he would rather it just be said outright.

Blitzcrank raised a massive hand to the side of his face, as they had seen others do before when speaking in hushed tones. It should be noted: he did not speak any quieter.

"ʏᴏᴜ ᴋɴᴏᴡ ʜᴇ ᴄᴀɴ'ᴛ ʜᴇᴀʀ ᴜs. ʏᴏᴜ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴛᴏ - ᴀs ᴛʜᴇʏ sᴀʏ - 'sᴜɢᴀʀᴄᴏᴀᴛ' ɪᴛ. ɪ ᴡᴏɴ'ᴛ ᴛᴀᴛᴛʟᴇ."
