My favorite Mel's concept design (she looks like a goddess)
I think that another element enforced Ekko's decision to return to his world was that, while he clearly enjoyed his time with Powder, she wasn't his. We see it in that while she uses her genius to help Ekko and Heimerdinger develop the Z-drive, she doesn't do it because she has a passion for it, she does it because a loved one asked her to.
In her world, she already has it pretty good. Life is improving for Zaun, she has her family, she has her Ekko who she is content to act more as his assistant, developing the ideas he comes up with. She likes her little lot in life.
But our Ekko's Powder is Jinx, whose mind is awhirl with changing ideas and chaotic imagination. Who can come up with the bonkers idea of turning her hideout into a goddamn war balloon. Who puts her artistry into her weapons, making it more a part of herself.
That Powder was born of general peace and comfort and deserves the Ekko who shares that experience. But our Ekko, the Boy Savior, knows that despite their sordid history, he can relate more to Jinx than he ever could to Powder.
I had this scarapiece done weeks ago, but I always forget to post here. 😭
Anya would be the kind of child to warn her parents about something school related the night before the deadline.
It'll be 9PM and she will turn to Loid like "Dad, I need cardboard and cotton for a school project tomorrow morning."
And Loid would reply "okay, I'll buy your cardb- TOMORROW?!"
Cue Loid walking around the city at night to find cardboard so his child won't get a tonitrus.
Listen, the parrot was the main cupid for this situation. At least reward him by letting him see the results of his hard work 🥺

hc he’s ridiculously sensitive on the electro mark spot
"Silco was the worst leader of Zaun, he only hurt his own people and was useless/didn't care about zaun"
Zaun under Vander: Submissive to Piltover, trampled and harrassed by enforcers, stuck in oppression and making zero progress even as his own children had to steal to survive.
Firelights: Fairly small group (some of whom are literal children) that are nonviolent, can't even stop Silco much less Piltover, and have no plans beyond stopping shimmer.
Zaun under Chembarons: Utter chaos, turf wars, Zaunites fighting each other while getting trampled and gassed by Piltover.
Zaun under Sevika: Needs a 17 year old girl to bring unity since their leader can't, sides with and makes sacrifices for Piltover only to be met with a single council seat in a majority-rule council made up entirely of topsiders and no independence in return.
Zaun under Silco: Innovations in medicine, fuel, and body augmentation; has thriving industries, cleaner air and water, and an army of chemsoldiers. Enforcers are driven out and Zaun is now strong enough to destroy Piltover before the innovations of hextech. Even with hextech Zaun is powerful enough to devastate Piltover to the point that war isn't even worth the damage. Silco's Zaun was even offered independence, which it would have gained if Silco was willing to give up his daughter.
Unlike Silco, the chembarons did not care about Zaun, and they did nothing beneficial for it. Sevika, the Firelights, and Vander all tried more peaceful means only for Piltover to spit in their faces.
As inhumane as Silco's methods were, they were easily the most effective. Silco was right that to gain independence violence was necessary, that they had to become what Topside feared.
