SHE'S SO FINE

THE ARTSTYLE IS BEAUTIFUL

received so much hate on tiktok for posting jayvik so heres more

EXACTLY.

it isn't just that "Vi thought Jinx left her in that cell", it's more than that

in a really short time, Vi thought she had both Jinx and Vander back, briefly hoped she might get Caitlyn back, then lost Vander again, nearly died, and woke up to the news that after all that progress things were back at the start 6 months prior, that she was going to have to get between Caitlyn and her sister again and possibly lose both again

she didn't get down to Jinx's cell with a rational plan and a clear head - she was desperately clinging to the last hope she had to make things right (in her head, right meaning = having both Jinx and Caitlyn in her life)

yes, she thought Caitlyn would be angry at her, but she also hoped that if Jinx redeemed herself in the eyes of Piltover, she might redeem herself in Cait's eyes too somewhere down the line

was it a good, rational plan? nope. but at that point Vi was one Warwick away from having a complete mental breakdown herself and she was running out of time (the war with Noxus being on their doorstep and all)

and then, not only did Jinx reject that plan, she punched her and locked her in that cell, separating them again. It doesn't matter what words Jinx used in that moment, doesn't matter what she said - Vi could hear her words, see her attitude, but she wasn't in the headspace necessary to listen. She was too caught up in her own grief and despair to pay attention!

she had been clinging to one last hope and she lost it - thought she had lost everyone, for good this time, and that it was her fault. she was basically back in prison (literally thanks to Jinx, but this was also pulling her back to how she felt after her initial separation with Powder in S1)

really, it's no wonder she had such a strong reaction to Caitlyn afterwards

I WILL add this to my bookmarks, but just from reading the tags/warnings I'm fucking scared

I'm still not okay after reading the Playlist for When Your Boyfriend Stops Breathing by @sunsetplums, still listening to the playlist too ˙◠˙ p.s. Birb’s name is Mango, she used to live with the fic’s author but passed away just a couple days ago so now Jayce is looking after her. Faint music on the bg is My děti ze stanice Bullerbyn by Květy

Fanfic is a free hobby.

It's one of the last few things we can have as a society that's free. You can engage, for free. People give you things (art, stories, etc), for free.

Don't buy into the consummerism just because it's everywhere else.

You don't have to consume everything you interact with. You don't have to use things, just because they exist.

You're allowed (still, for now), to have things that are enjoyable for free.

Do you realise how insane the world is? We don't have many places where we can just be, for free anymore, but ao3 is. Did you notice we don't have ads in ao3? We don't have pop ups? Where ELSE do we not have that?

Where else can you just go and not have to wait for a commercial to be over or for ads to be on the sidelines?

I don't think the younger people understand, but the whole of internet used to be like this. YouTubers would do Youtube for free, just because. You couldn't monetise your internet presence before.

Ao3 is like a little preserved corner of the internet where the old internet used to be, and it's being attacked by people who do not understand that free things are allowed to exist without judgment.

Please don't ruin this for us.

Some of us need it.

....I'm at the office and literally choked on my coffee reading this 😭😭

a brief documentation of the last hour of my life

HAHAHAHAHAH

what if you were a BISEXUAL and your bf nearly DIES and then he leaves you to become JESUS and then your hot gf gets KIDNAPPED and your little sister becomes a DICTATOR and you grow a BEARD

Update:

I need someone to talk about this. It got me rolling on my bed and literally kicking my feet at 2am
