Sesbian Lex

Silco and Sevika hurrying from one business meeting to another.

I've so far shown only early moments but this is later in the sugarisnotacondiment AU, when he and Vander need to take care of two kids, and Silco goes full business mode. He tells people Sevika is his secretary, which she is but she doubles as bodyguard.

They are cool....

Mel drops Jayce and runs away with the hot lesbian from undercity

my arcane x asoiaf // Melvika heart is singing because of @/olgasnoww on Twitter.

TIMEBOMB again

Mel Merdarda my beloved

Mel is my Barbie to dress up

I really don't know what the story is with this but it was a fun value study hehe

Kinda obsessed with those early concept art of Mel that came out recently, especially that half suit version, so here is my interpretation of it (I kinda mixed that design and elements of her final one). She just looked so gorgeous, I couldn't resist 🙂‍↕️✨

hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset

the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years

taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult

at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)

'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65

it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age

it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.

you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.

young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!

there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big

People saying melvika is an out of nowhere pairing because they never met in canon like yeah, sure. however

Have you considered the themes??

Both of Mel and Sevika’s season 2 arcs involve them making very nuanced and impassioned appeals to morality. Sevika especially spends act 1 & 2 in this really interesting position of physical weakness; having to rely on verbal argument to bring the undercity together and failing because of it. We see her pleas for unity repeatedly fall on deaf ears despite the obvious experience and thought behind what she’s saying.

Enter: Mel. You know who also spends most of season 2 getting her appeals to morality shut down? That’s right! <3

Mel is interesting in the sense that she remains the only noncombatant character in the main cast right up until the last two episodes (even as a mage she’s not. a fighter at all - girl keeps passing out). Deescalation is always her first instinct and Sevika is repeatedly shown to be a single warning before a fight type-character.

This means, at minimum, any confrontation they have would be an argument & not a battle. That doesn’t sound like a lot, but in arcane?? It’s a fucking miracle.

Mel can be convinced through verbal debate which is something Sevika just does not encounter during the show; both characters kinda fulfil a specific need the other has narratively. I think a lot about the line in Mel’s flashback “Kino says war is a failure of statecraft.” -> it’s a defining line for Mel’s character in general, but it’s interesting for melvika in the sense that I think Sevika agrees. Sevika uses physical violence as a form of resistance against state violence, but she’s not a soldier. She views citizen violence as a method of showing the state’s failures to itself.

There’s SO much to be explored thematically about melvika & the nature of physical violence, it makes me a little insane. Mel has only ever encountered it as a hunt; invading armies and conquest. Sevika views it as a form of communication and beyond that - resistance, as the only avenue left to stand against oppression. Mel needs to learn that war isn’t the only thing that hurts people, her upbringing as a Noxian has skewed her perception of violence in general.
