I just love how messy my sketches are xD Which should I finish first? Hmmm
Soooo I’ve been thinking of a fanfic (maybe with some art?) combing Arcane characters and ATLA world setting.
Ekko is the avatar (boy savior)
Jinx is a non bender, feels like she is second to Vi, wants to prove herself. Great inventor, especially of weapons
Vi is earth, stubborn and strong. So competes in the underground earth bending fights to earn money. Her signature is the earth gauntlets of course.
Cait is a non bender, uses weapons (wealthy member of northern water tribe so we can have water and oil don’t mix lol)
Jayce is a water bender, crafter alongside Viktor. Him and Cait are like siblings, so I’m also going to age Jayce and Viktor down a bit to match
Viktor is a metal bender, trying to use spirit world energy as power (similar to kuvira’s whole thing)
Mel is the fire princess, her mom is like Ozai villain style
Isha is a non bender (orphan of the earth kingdom) that becomes the adopted younger sibling of Jinx and Vi
Vander is earth (earth gauntlets)
Silco is water (his river motif)
Sevika is a non bender, extremely powerful though
Heimerdinger is earth (he’s ancient and is slow to change)
I already have some basic backstory stuff planned out, just need some help writing! If you have any ideas to share please share them! Also, if someone would like to beta for the fic that would be great. (I don’t have like the story written out yet, just ideas)
I love Sevika as an ambiguous character and her design. Big, strong and muscular women are my weakness. ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ
you were a full time job I thought I'd never miss
Based on the genius piece by @@raccoon0ncaf on twt with "Jayce smooches everyone"
Vi kisses everyone (she can tolerate)
Also;
translation for first page notes;
when I was making Zy’s design I focused on how diverse and inclusive Arcane was. I had a feeling she’d fit right in with the characters in the show. Zy is an Acacian and Noxian mix as a folk tale descendant. I went with a dragon design because of my love for dragons.
Her personality is sassy and joking at first. But after the explosion turns her harsh and mean. She doesn’t support Silco’s group and leads a Rebel group known as the outlanders.
translation for the photo with the notes if you can’t
read cursive; Dear Sevika, I wish you the best as I have left to my shop as I could sense the hostility from Silco after the explosion. I couldn’t handle it… my arm hurts from my burns… Ily. -Zy
read sevika’s bad handwriting; Dear Zy, sorry my handwriting is horrible. The pain has been getting worse and this isn’t my dominant hand. I feel bad. I want to do something together. Meet? -Sevika.
translation for 3rd page;
North of the norm, south of the Nox. Dodge dragon horns and treacherous Rocks. For a tribe of lurking myth, beware the teach. As lurk the dragons below the surface. For thou must not be nervous. Acacians stay quiet, believ this not as lie. But as warning, to all you travelers. Not to be meddling with such forces.
Translation for the Acacian page;
Acacians, an ancient dragon tribe derived from fire mages and dragons. From which Royalty gained Prophetic and/or Fire control powers from their ancestors. Females are more dominant in the gene pool. If a queen were to die. The king would ONLY take over if the Next female in line was not of age. The tribe is and has been quite cut off from the world. symbol page;
As of currently, Zy has been running the ‘Near The Gears’ shop. And leading a rebel team against Silco’s rule. :)

SPOILERS FOR SEASON TWO ARCANE!!!

episode 2: NOOO VIKTOR HAS JESUS IMAGERY 😭😭 AND JUST LIKE JESUS HE'S GONNA DIEEE WE JUST GOT HIM BACKKKK WHYYYY also I'm calling it isha is gonna be to jinx what jinx was to silco and jinx is gonna be to isha what silco was to her ... hopefully that makes sense. wait if Viktor is Jesus, does that make Sky the holy spirit lmao 😭 the funny thing is I was looking at Viktor and thinking "huh he looks like Paul Atreides" well, well, well, another pale twink is Jesus once again. wait a minute who was that person...also ew icky heart beating

I'm sorry but I love what's happening with Caitlyn 😔
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ONNNN
you were a full time job I thought I'd never miss
Is it just me or do you prefer fics that go along with the show or game they are in? Like Sevika for example, I do not want to be a farmer and sevika is a rancher... like that is not arcane at all (no offense if you like that)
But it just gets old, like I would like a fic that goes along with the story line. Is that just me?
Mel and Sevika fanart for a friend! The designs are anachronistic, but they're my favourite versions of each.
“sevika found herself wondering how she even got here in the first place
not here, as in piltover
or here, as in on a seat in the council
but here, as in laying on a sofa more expensive than any item she’s ever seen in her life, as councilor mel medarda rested comfortably on top of her body.
the gold that decorated councilor medarda’s hand (which lazily traced the blue scars on sevika’s cheek) complemented her dark skin well. so well, that sevika felt the need to capture mel’s smaller hand in her larger one, bringing it to her lips for a kiss.”
idk why but this specific paragraph has been stuck in my head since i watched the finale, and i’m really feeling the urge to turn it into a melvika oneshot… but idk
Melvika Headcannons: Domestic Night Routine Edition
-----------------------------------------------------
Content Warning: Domestic fluff, cuddling, non-sexual intimacy, established relationship (wlw), mentions of smoking and alcohol, SFW
wc: 1281 sorryyy
🎶Promise Me- Kiana Ledé🎶
-----------------------------------------------------
- Mel will always have candles or incense lit. If Sevika smokes, sometimes she’ll do it in the room. Sometimes Mel gives her that “Uh uh.” look and she’ll take it on the balcony. But Mel secretly loves how the scents will mix and linger on Sevika—patchouli, tobacco, amber, and a hint of vanilla~
- Mel will play classical music or jazz on her little record player. Sevika always complains “You gonna play that racket again? They don’t even sing.” But she always seems more calm after Mel puts it on, especially with jazz.
- Sevika always showers first, because Mel will take an hour in the bathroom. She has one less arm and way less products than Mel (barely any); anything more than 20 minutes for her is excessive. But this way works for them.
- Mel likes walking into the bathroom after Sevika showers because it’s already warmed up for her, and she can still smell Sevika’s soap in the air.
- And Sevika can listen to Mel hum to the music in the shower as she gets dressed.
- When Mel comes out, a cloud of steam always follows her, the scent of her fancy soaps quickly fill the room.
- Before Mel is dry, before she even touches herself, she always offers to apply anti-chafe salve on Sevika’s arm where the metal plates are imbedded into her skin.
- Sometimes she won’t ask, she’ll just pick up the jar and Sevika will get into position on the loveseat at the end of the bed.
- When the air is profound like this, they won’t speak. Mel will still hum, and she will take her time massaging Sevika’s scarred skin around her plates.
- They often look into each other’s eyes, exchanging silent remarks like “Does this feel alright?” and “Thank you.”
- The best part of it all? When Sevika gets to watch Mel do her night routine.
- She will gladly sit back on the chaise and read while Mel props a smooth brown leg up on the stool to her vanity to rub her butters and creams all over her body.
- Sevika loves when Mel wears this one midnight blue silk robe. It compliments her mahogany skin and gold armor perfectly, she always looks lavish and delicious in it.
- “Are you really going to watch me apply cream to my legs?” Mel would say incredulously, stopping mid stroke on her propped leg. She’s luminous, her blue robe hangs open almost down to her navel, her full cleavage exposed.
- “Yeah. Now less talking, more rubbing.” Sevika replies, a smirk on her mouth hidden behind her book as she watches Mel with sniper eyes.
- Sevika loves to play in Mel’s hair, or graze her metal fingers over Mel’s back.
- One time, Mel missed a gold cuff on one of her locs.
- Sevika, knowing that she removes all of them before she sleeps, gently coaxed it off while Mel slept. Mel smiled tenderly when she awoke the next morning to find Sevika gone and a single gold cuff on her side of the bed.
- When Mel sleeps on her chest, Sevika always practices her restraint with her mech hand by seeing how carefully she can twirl the ends of Mel’s hair.
- It was a subconscious habit she wasn’t aware she’d picked up.
- One night, Mel stirred as she slept on her chest. When Sevika looked over, her mech hand was pulling her hair. She instantly felt bad; defective.
- Sometimes it had a mind of its own. She’s been practicing ever since.
- Only got caught once when Mel’s hair got tangled in the joints of her metal fingers, and she had to wake her up in the middle of the night so they could cut it.
- It was NOT a pretty sight.
- But Mel can’t stay mad at Sevika; she actually thought it was kinda sweet.
- Now whenever Sevika doesn’t initiate, Mel will plop Sevika’s mech hand on top of her head to scratch her scalp.
- “Do I need to fire you? Hop to it.” Mel scolds. It’s always met with a sarcastic “Yes ma’am” or “As you wish, princess.” from Sevika. Puts her right to sleep every time.
- Speaking of sleep, Sevika generally doesn’t do a lot of it, even less when she’s with Mel. Although the Medarda Manor is heavily guarded, Sevika takes pride in staying up to watch over Mel while she sleeps.
- If something were to happen, or if someone were to break in, at least she can be awake and be a last line of defense between Mel and any potential danger. She loves watching Mel sleep.
- Not just to ensure her safety, but also because she’s so freaking cute.
- Sevika will never tell her, and it doesn’t always happen, but Mel talks in her sleep. Murmurs really, but it’s always with the same attitude and inflection as if she were wide awake.
- Sevika loves to watch her eyebrows scrunch or her nose twitch, it’s fucking adorable.
- Sevika knows that sleep is a luxury. In Zaun, you can never get too comfortable, your reflexes have to always be on and sharp. Only someone of such a high status that could afford to be so guarded could sleep so easily, so unaware and relaxed.
- But Sevika liked it this way. She liked when Mel was relaxed, not stressing about the politics of the day or the issues of tomorrow. She liked that Mel felt comfortable enough with her to fall asleep, to dream. Even though Mel was definitely a spoiled princess, Sevika didn’t mind. Mel was her princess.
- They definitely cuddle, no matter what Sevika says.
- And Sevika is definitely the little spoon as much as Mel is.
- Like come on, Mel was on Jayce like a backpack after they banged. She loves to express her affection through physical touch, and Sevika is touch-famished. She loves the feeling of Mel’s skinny little fingers tickling and caressing all over her.
- If Mel does fall asleep on her chest, Sevika loves to reach down with her flesh hand and hook Mel’s thigh over her.
- Mel is more often than not wearing some kind of silk nightgown or négligée, most of them custom made with slits on either side to let her gold armor show through.
- Drives Sevika fucking crazy.
- She loves to kneed her flesh hand into Mel’s strong thigh when they lay like this.
- Sevika can’t fully describe the feeling she gets when she runs her hand over Mel’s armor.
- It feels almost too intimate, closer than being inside her or kissing her.
- Happy? Special? Sevika didn’t know, but it definitely made her feel good that she got to touch Mel this way; that Mel let her touch her this way, that she wanted her to.
- When Sevika does sleep, and it’s a deeper sleep, she snores like a lumberjack.
- Most times Mel finds it endearing or blocks it out, but some nights she can’t take it and Sevika wakes up with a smack upside her head or a pillow over her face.
- “Were you actually gonna smother me?” Sevika asks groggily, rubbing her eye and blinking up at Mel as she straddles her with her pillow in the air.
- “Still considering it.” Mel says as she slides off of her.
- If it becomes too much, Mel will make her a special Noxian sleepy tea, one her older brother would make her when she had nightmares as a child.
- Sevika hates it, and will only drink it if she mixes her whiskey into it.
- Mel lets her, because sleepy bed-headed Sevika holding a tiny tea cup and saucer makes Mel’s heart swoon.
-
I need them together so bad.
More ppl need to b shipping Mel and Savika bc jayce canNOT handle all that but I’m saying it right now Sevika can
Arcane characters as tma entities bc I need an outlet for s2 being so close
Jinx is desolation (duh)
Powder is the lonely
Vi is slaughter
Caitlyn is the eye but more garchivist than anyone else
Viktor is corruption or maybe end
Jayce is the eye (?? idk bestie)
Mel is the web
Silco is either corruption or web
Ekko is the vast
Sevika is the hunt
Heimerdinger is in the same league as stupid idiot motherfucker jurgan leitner God damn fool book collecting dust eating rat old bastard shithead idiot avatar of the whole biggest clown in the circus laughed out of town cowboy motherfucking Jurgen leitner
Ambessa is slaughter just a very different type to vi
Vander is hunt (furry)
Markus is hunt (police)
Singed is either flesh or corruption but the moldy corruption
Sky is lonely (same as powder)
I'm not doing anyone else bc they are irrelevant and I cannot be assed
So Lily and Mikaila posted recently the cover of a Live they are gonna do focused on Arcane. And i must say 2 things based on this cover:
One: They are gonna bash Vi for being with Caitlyn and then call her incestuous because of hair colors and somehow the shape of Caitlyn face looking similar to her mother
Second: They are gonna simp HARD for Sevika and claim that she should have killed Heimerdinger when she got the chance. Or if not her, Ekko killing Heimerdinger after meeting him when he left home because "EVIL CAPITALIST SHOULD DIE."
All i can say for sure is this.
Be ready for the Shitstorm.
ARCANE | Sevika Design Explorations | Anna Nikonova
I CHERISH HER
some of my arcane oc stuff !! :3
It’s so funny to me that of all Zaunites, Sevika was the one who got stuck representing them on the council. Like, this woman has decades worth of unresolved trauma, uncontrollable older-sister instincts, and a metal arm. Who though appointing her would be a good idea?
But anyways I need about ten seasons of an Office-style sitcom that’s literally just Sevika calling the councilors on their bullshit and becoming besties with Mel.
