Fade: You Know That Voice In Your Head That Tells You That You're Doing Something Wrong?

the heartsteel boys

heartsteel Christmas music head canons

some of you guys might know that I m from a family thats... a lot into music, and since I m visiting them for the holidays they definitely inspired some heartsteel headcanons xD

Yone, giving Aphelios a new instrument for Christmas and Phil playing it 24/7 until Kayn starts throwing paper balls at him, Ezreal is about to cry from overstimulation and K'Sante threatens to carry him outside if he wont stop </3

Aphelios and Ezreal forcing everyone to play Christmas songs together, Yone octaves down a part thats written in treble clef to play a song for two recorders (aphelios) and piano (ez) on the cello

Kayn just sitting in the corner and laughing his ass off (he can ofc not play piano when ez plays it already, and the guitar and bass just doesnt work for classical Christmas songs!)

Sett gets a triangle bc he is the only one who doesnt play another instrument

K'Sante playing the saxophone and being too loud for Aphelion's recorder :c and starting to almost cry because the recorder, cello and piano are in c while he is stuck with a shit ton of #'s and ß's

Kayn suddenly being forced to play the piano bc ezreal wants to try out the recorder with aphelios and they need the piano, but playing with 0 practice is hard. thank god kayn knows the piano well enough...

but k'sante just stopped trying and simply improvises, he isnt playing the melody anyway so why not simply hold the #e for half the song?

Theory: Young Sova Was Chaotic AF

I have this theory that Sova was spoiled by his grandma growing up (bc what grandma doesn’t spoil their grandkids) and had a major rebellious teenage phase because of that

Was a real headache to raise during this phase but got away with it bc his babushka was respected in the military (Imma connect this to that hc i saw somewhere before where his babushka was military and taught him archery)

He and his friends prolly pulled absolute stupid pranks on each other, sometimes using scraps of bullets, shells, and other shit they’d pick up from the nearby military base in Severomorsk

But he got humbled around his early 20s when he’s already in the navy and is now such a soft loving wholesome boy especially towards his babushka

That’s not to say he and his cadet friends were always on their best behavior either

But instead of being the fire starter, he’s the camera guy in every shenanigan (having a camera out in the field so often may have started his knack for intel gathering, drone piloting, and nature photography)

Reference for military shenanigans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eovfIlgiAw

(I just play the vid like I’m fiddling with Sova’s old files and every time the camera guy cackles, I imagine it’s Sova)

Would kinda explain why this guy’s so calm in the VP, man’s prolly almost done it all

Also puts some extra meaning behind Chamber’s line: “Sova, now here is a man of principle! But you have broken rules before, yes? Ah, of course you have.”

fade: “go hang a salami” backwards is “i’m a lasagna hog” and that pleases me

sova: how did either of those sentences occur naturally for you to discover this

can i just say that the funniest choice the valorant design team has made is giving sova, a man who's canonically born with a darker hair color than the one he has now, platinum blonde hair

this insinuates that he in fact either got it done in either a salon, by a friend who knows how to bleach, or by himself and i love that

Hells Coming with Me

(High Noon K'sante x High Noon Yone)

Skin ref for the K'sante one is here!

After collecting ALL the material I could find about MusicVerse AU I finally made super-detailed Ref Sheets of first two characters for myself!

And I share these with you! You can use them if you like!

MOST of the info in refs are just my PERSONAL opinions, headcannons and little hints while still trying to be closest to the original character feel. This page will follow whatever is written, but I'll still be open to people's opinions and thoughts! I have so much fun omfg

no i will not be taking constructive criticisms at this time

It was fun to draw them (I'm craving Heartsteel content plz give me more)

The only character I'll ever play in this forsaken game
