Happy Holidays from the Holiday Boar
well
I guess I’m hopping on the tumblr artist bandwagon since twitter is going up in flames
here you go @journeytomonkiekid
I thought of this idea while I was in the middle of another drawing. So, naturally, I dropped everything just to make this
#loveanddeepspace #literallylovecaleb
about caleb . . .
omg wow it’s taken me so long to talk about my thoughts on caleb. i’ve been so obssesed with him lately and for good reason.
in love and deepspace, you get this incredible line up of love interests. you’re getting the famous artist that’s also a sea god. an arms dealer that’s actually a dragon. a gorgeous green flag doctor who’s your childhood friend. your strange coworker that’s actually a star prince or something ??
it all seems very fantastical, people that you’d only meet in a fairytale. which is great because i love all of the LIs, obviously
BUT CALEB. to me, he feels the most realistic. like i’ll look at him and i can tell this is a guy with a cock and balls i can’t even lie.
his and mc’s relationship is so ??? real ????? maybe not the fact that he is obsessed with her, but everything about them screams of home.
hidden waves, endless summer, everything pre-farspace fleet i am obsessed. he works hard and loves even harder like. im so sick.
he is someone i’ve met before and that’s an odd thought. domestic caleb is everything and i’d defend him with my life.
I don't even know anymore.. here's ashes for day 13 #inktoberprompts2019 #inktober #illustration #inktober2019 #intoberday13019 #traditional_art https://www.instagram.com/p/B3lWek3g0LA/?igshid=jrt1f8q00i0g
‼️ DO NOT DIRECTLY SAVE THESE FROM TUMBLR ‼️ The photos on Tumblr are compressed. They're not in full 8k. Please view and download them from Mega.nz instead. Download Link: (HERE)
Some more details:
If the download link is not accessible on mobile, use your desktop/laptop to access them.
These resolutions are in 8k. I know they're overkill, but it's upscaled so that you yourself can crop them out and do whatever you want with them. Desktop BG, mobile BG, etc. up to you with what you want to do with them
Reminder that the upscaler is NOT PERFECT, but it does its best. This is all upscaled from the original 1080p stills, with very minimal edits.
If I have time, I will do batch 2.
Enjoy!
Mel is alive, but at what cost
Mel was nearly killed TWICE, her mother began being a struggle, she'd been thrown aside and trying her best to stop her, her boyfriend is not doing well, neither is anyone else (can't blame them) and the fact that she hadn't cried or spoke much about this situation to anyone a single time?? She IS upset about every single thing, yet she stays strong and enduring every bit of torture. The most she did was tell Jayce that Ambessa put her palm on the table, and let him know that she is going to push for hextech. That's it, nothing remotely related to her feelings.
The fact that she was constantly looking at Caitlyn, being able to understand her grief and knew she was in pain?? Mel knows this feeling. She'd went through it.
And in the end SHE has to pay the price of her mothers incompetence.
The intro is very much foreshadowing, we know the hands represent black rose/LeBlanc.
This is what happens in act one, she gets kidnapped by them. The lyrics do correspond to the characters as well (not just Mel, everyone.)
"Tell you you're the greatest" plays as a petal of the black rose floats down the screen, I think it adds significance to the power this organization holds, possibly the Medardas greatest foe.
"But once you turn, they hate us" both Ambessa and Mel were present in this line, I think its foreshadowing for when Ambessa switches up for whatever reason and goes against both Piltover AND Zaun. And Mel WILL go through change as well, a change that could hurt her relationship with others, and receive interest from others too.
"They hate us" could be read individually too, I feel like its a sort of "realization" ?? Perhaps Ambessa WASN'T the one that switched up, maybe Piltover switched up on them, and maybe Mel JUST got out of wherever she's taken to, and saw the mess Ambessa had done to her city??
I think this represents ACT TWO.
The hands pull away and it sort of looks like Mel is fighting back, a "get away from me" type of scream. you know what this reminds me of??
Don't mind me just pushing my Jinx/powder-Mel parallel agenda
Here is when i think Mel truly learns about LeBlanc/BR, she curiously and slowly goes to grab the rose, she learns about the history between her Mother and them, Kinos death, and most of all, learns about HERSELF. The lyrics speak otherwise.
"Pray away, I swear
I'll never be a saint, no way"
This feels like a parallel to caitlyn of sorts if that makes sense. Caitlyn had done everything to try and stop the council from attacking the Undercity, she kept her mouth shut when Jayce asked about Jinxs grenade, she was willing to protect Vi and the undercity, but how many times has she been tossed around? She'd been burned, exploded, kidnapped (god knows what happened during that time) and hit in the face by the same person, her MOTHER died because of the same person. She has every right to go insane. And she is hunting ONE person, which is Jinx. Although she is harming the people around her along the way.
What if Mel goes through a similar situation? Her mother pushed for war in her city, she dragged the enemy along with her even if she didn't mean to, she manipulated everyone around her INCLUDING Jayce, she LITERALLY got Mel hurt from the chembarons attack and killed so many people during a MEMORIAL to get her hextech weapons, Elora is most likely DEAD, not to mention whatever happened in the past between them. And the thing is, this will NEVER end throughout the entire season.
And what if she learns what she is? That she's 'blessed' by Kindred? The fact that the wolf is quite literally in her blood?
I feel like the "ill never be a saint, no way" also sort of indicates Mel will realize she'll never be able to push for peace and mercy like she always hoped for no matter what, and she comes to accept that as much as it hurts. But not like how ambessa accepted the wolf, but she sort of realizes she needs to push a little violence, towards nobody but the one and only, Ambessa "fine, if you want me to be like you, I guess I'll be like you towards YOU." Type of acceptance.
I think its also related to Mels new outfit too, she's dressed like her mother, in red and all of that. I will still stand by the idea that she has plans to decieve, but she will do something she doesn't want to do.
Mel was left with no choice, that lyric sounds like realization, acceptance, but also like a plea at the same time, an "I'll never be who I wanted to be" because in the end, she's still a Medarda, she's still her mothers daughter, she still has violence in her veins, she will never not suffer from the weight her name holds, and she will never escape it either, its like a shadow.
The Characters won't be themselves at their core this season. And those vital parts of their characters that represent them are no longer there in the intro, they all have given up what makes them, THEM design wise. (e.g.) Vi without her tattoo, Viktor hiding his identity with the mask. And the thing is, they did that to themselves because they do self-harm, they're changing themselves because THEY want to, they're forcing themselves to do that, they think they're undeserving and they're erasing their past selves.
But Mel? Mel doesn't have her gold accessories, Jewelry, or her Armor, she'd been stripped bare and hidden away because of the brutality of her name. She pays the price her mother brought to HER city. She's forced to change herself against her will, because nobody is giving her a chance to push for her ideals.
This entire theory never ends, and with all of this? I kinda do see Mel actually committing Matricide, it lifts the "Ambessa will die" theory further.
Ok so I've never used tumbler to really blog anything but I need to write my thoughts out before I go crazy about this :) Spoilers for arcane sowwy.
Can someone please explain to me WHY ISHA HAD TO DIE? I understand that in order for Jinx to get at her lowest, and I mean her lowest, they needed to do something ti isha but what was the point of her death. She went in to save the girls from vander but it didn't matter cause the big guy still lived after that :(( like I don't know if it's just me but I think they could've found a way to get jinx sad and stuff without having to just kill her 😭😭 and it sucks cause I knew she was gonna die! They foreshadowed it like TWO TIMES(from what I remember) At the prison scene and the other at the little tunnel place, which now i realize both had vander in it. UGH. but anyway, in my head, everyone's still alive, so it doesn't matter 😇
Ughshshhshsh 😭😭
