Commission Work For Melvika 👀

Doechii's fit at the Schiaparelli Show 2025 was made for Mel Medarda 🔥

People who dislike melvika bc they think the characters would hate each other are so funny. Like damn, y’all never heard of enemies to lovers??

have Mel in her twenties! very roughly inspired by a rococo painting I saw a while back

I think the Arcane fanbase as a whole is very quick to clock Mel's manipulative tactics & condemn them without ever asking themselves why it is she acts that way. They either go 'problematic girlboss go queen' or 'what a horrible conniving bitch!' and move on, and it's been bugging me for a while.

Mel is the daughter of a Noxian Warmonger, raised in a 'might makes right' sort of environment that encourages violence as the means to settle conflict. The strong are always the winners, the losers must die. What made Mel such an outcast is primarily her resistance to such violence. Mel, at her very core, doesn't want to hurt people. We see this when she insists to her mother in that flashback to her childhood that they should spare that girl to "show the people that we are merciful," as she puts it.

To Mel, manipulation is the only way to avoid violence. Being too directly honest, not appealing to people, can be dangerous. It can lead to bloodshed. And if you look at things through her perspective in that sense, it's kind of obvious why she's constantly utilizing her cunning to get her way- because the only other way would actively put lives in danger. Mel's conniving nature is quite literally a coping mechanism that's followed her to Piltover, fortunately for her that makes her a very formidable politician.

For the Mel wine aunt agenda

Doechii never beating the Mel Medarda allegations actually

a commission for @waezi2

the concept described follows the same scenario in which powder passes away during the heist

have yall seen THIS young!sevika fanart cause im bout to kms and cry

actually have so many thoughts & feelings about ekko arcane

he really lost his entire family, found a tree, and went fuck it if the tree can make it so can we and started a whole community/revolution about it. he is the figurehead of a whole little sect of a society fresh out of his teens. what the hell dude

his best friend/childhood crush became a crazy murderer and he was mostly fully on board with the idea of getting rid of her but then he finds a world where she is happy and goes fuck it im helping my universe's jinx get there too

he is so incredibly present-oriented for someone whose powers are going back in time, he doesn't want powder back even after seeing the universe where powder is happy, he wants jinx in this universe

he's an optimist and a realist he is finding the possibility of life and joy and then doing absolutely everything he can towards that end, but he won't sink the effort into something he doesn't see as possible. he doesn't want to help vi "bring powder back" when they first reunite because he's in the present where powder is gone, but the moment he knows it's possible for him and jinx to work together and be happy and whatnot he finds her and gets repeatedly blown up for his troubles. and like. he watches her try to kill herself over and over again just for a chance to talk. he throws a bomb at god. he flips off a cop as a kid. ekko my beloved no one is doing it like him and i hope his funky little tree lives forever <33
