Whether you enjoy the relationship or not…

Jayce being in love with Mel doesn’t seem like something the creators did just to squash people’s mlm fantasies. They’ve been set up as so integral to each other’s stories, especially with a Noxus arc coming up, that wanting to forget they ever happened and put them with other people feels beside the point to me.

I mean yeah Viktor was rude as well but it's because of what they were speaking about. He was triggered by what she was suggesting. He also knows she was using Jayce at first at least and that's the source of his bitterness.

Respectfully no.

Viktor has an attitude with Mel the first time we see them talk as @thisislostinlace pointed out on your last ask. Viktor is just kinda socially cold and seems like an introvert to me.

Mel was never using Jayce she was working with him (and Vik). And what "she was suggesting" was protecting Piltover (and Zaun) because Hextech put them on the map and other nations were watching them.

Vik has never seen war so he really doesn't know what he's talking about. Mel knows they need protection from Zaun but really it was just an excuse to protect Piltover (and Zaun by default) from Noxus and others. Elora and Ambessa warn her of this. It's in the script go rewatch Mel's scenes or something IDK?

Noone wants to acknowledge this but Viktor/Jayce didn't manage to help the undercity besides the gauntlets and other tech for workers. If Jayce is guilty of this so is Viktor. But especially Viktor because he knows what its like there and what those people need but he spends his time in that lab worrying about himself.

Also Mel has always genuinely had feelings for Jayce

I was getting shit online a few days ago for being a bi butch.

A couple days later, I finally watched this 1996 interview, where Leslie Feinberg (author of Stone Butch Blues) makes an offhand comment about... bi butches.

I don't believe in afterlife, but I do believe that Leslie was personally giving me a butch clap on the shoulder ❤️

I genuinely can’t understand where ppl are coming from when they say that Mel is like?? Taking advantage of Jayce?? Did we watch the same show????? They are so sweet so soft and so so perfect together what is your problem!!

Hiiiii! So, a few days ago you were talking about the whole thing with Amy, Rory, and River. And when I saw those posts a thought arose in my head and I wish to share it with you.

Since River grew up with Amy and Rory as Mels. And Mels was Amy's best friend do you think that they ever talked about children? Since I know that it can come up when talking with friends, and like... do you think that Amy might've ever expressed whether or not she wanted children?

And if she didn't, that Mels would've had to listen to her mother say that she doesn't want children? The idea is so heartbreaking and sooo interesting.

What do you think about it?

no, no, see, you're so right and this drives me wild.

because, the way i see it, i don't think amy wanted children. she's somewhere on the 'hasn't thought about it' to 'vaguely negative feelings about it happening' range to me, which falls sharply into 'Not Happening Ever Again' post-s6. (specifically, in terms of having a kid herself, even if she could, i really don't think she would. i do love that she and rory end up adopting a kid later, because that does make sense, for amy pond who grew up alone in one universe with her family swallowed by cracks in time before the doctor helped her set it right again, for her to want to make sure another child won't be alone in the world like she was. getting off-track here.)

and that's so. because the first real memory river/mels has of amy is of amy shooting at her. and depending on how well the silence fucked up the rest of her memory, it might be one of the very first memories she has at all. that's how she met her mother, crying for help and getting a bullet instead. her mother tried to kill her, so of course, you have to think. she must have needed to hear that she was wanted, right? even if she was taken away, even if amy shot her, at some point, melody must have been wanted?

river is good at getting people to do what she wants, but she is very, very bad at subtlety. and mels is younger, has less practice, so when she wants to know this, she's just going to ask. blunt and quick, easy enough because amy's used to the way mels will open her mouth and you just have to be ready to roll with what comes out if you want to keep up. it's why they're such good friends (like mother, like daughter.)

they're nine, and mels asks if amy wants kids, and amy wrinkles up her nose and says she won't have time for children, obviously, once her raggedy doctor finally comes back. they're fifteen, and amy and rory dance will they-won't they in a way that makes mels twitchy to watch, and taunting amy about wanting to have rory's babies is a good way to get on her nerves. but amy calls her gross, tells her she's got more life planned than children would leave room for, and besides, imagine her, a mom? it'd be a disaster.

mels does. a lot. she looks at her mother and just sees her best friend instead. she's not even sure what she wishes was there, but. maybe amy's right. and besides. imagine her, a daughter, instead of the ticking time bomb she really is? it'd be a disaster.

they're sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, and on. mels stands on the outside of a love story that births a universe. and her. how do you compete with that? not that she would know, not yet, she hasn't been there. but it doesn't make her feel any less alienated when amy and rory talk in whispers about a half-remembered world that's bled through to this life, about roman soldiers and boxes and the big bang of belief.

all these memories, they never mention children. on amy's wedding day, she's different, not like someone remembering a dream but someone who lived it. rory stands straighter, won't leave her side, and they're both so much older than they were yesterday. maybe now, right? a wedding's as good a time as any to decide you want kids.

mels not being at amy & rory's wedding is such an obvious lazy way of them trying to explain why they totally didn't just throw this plot twist together at the last minute that i'm not even going to acknowledge it. of course she was at their wedding. she's their best friend. there's too many people around the doctor, and she wasn't ready today of all days, so despite this horrible burning need under her skin to strike, she stays her hand. doesn't let him dance with her because she might just tear his throat out if he gets too close. stays with amy and rory as the maid of honor should. she must have been there for the awkward questions that always gets asked, 'so, any plans for a baby?' 'when am i getting grandkids?' 'oh, you two are going to have gorgeous children together.' standing a few feet from amy in her wedding dress and watching her mother tense and grit her teeth and brush off the questions. watching her look nervously at rory but never ask if he means it when his mom asks him if he'd prefer a son or a daughter, and rory answers 'either one, some day, not anytime soon.'

god i'm just going on and on, aren't i. but really, what's it like to know that amy never changed her mind. the next time she sees them, she's already been born and stolen. i don't like let's kill hitler for. so many reasons. but there is something compelling about how recklessly river lashes out at the world, at the doctor. even her sacrifice at the end is almost suicidal, throwing all her regenerations into this man without knowing if that will even work or if it might kill her to do it. but it makes more sense in the context of someone who has reached the end of a long, long wait for some kind of indication, any kind, that her mother wanted to have her. and finally been told, no. she didn't choose melody.

was sick today so i stayed home.

And honestly, I'm feeling peak rn, i stayed home, sleeping or reading xena fanfics.

Like. These two own my soul now.

day uh. 5? also had to make up for nothing yesterday. anyhow, more ultrakill ocs! the one thats colored in is amitiel, and i was going to draw them with its primary weapon (that wasnt daggers) but i didnt like how it was turning out so i stopped.

the sketched ones are of armaros and @thatocelot's oc asbeel, in outfits we found on pinterest (linked below). unfortunately armaros would never wear something like that </3 it was still fun to draw her though even if i cant draw muscles very well.

i also cant do symmetry when it comes to traditional art for the fucking life of me i swear the only time i drew armaros or asbeel's helmets right was the first time i drew them and NEVER again. frustrating
