A/N: I had so much fun writing this for you all, its been on my mind for a bit and I feel like I really had to get it out there. Also why haven't I seen this threesome content before? Are you all sleeping on all this hotness? To make things easier in this fic LC will be called Miguel since that seems to be a popular name theory for him.

Upon opening the door to the grand bedroom you weren't quite sure what to expect. But this was a favor, or really more of a suggestion for Miguel, and he's been your friend and co-worker since... well quite a few years now so you couldn't really refuse. Although this will be the first time you have the same client at the same time.

You first heard Miguel talk about Ambessa Medarda when he came back to Babette's walking a little funny. But the way he described her, the image you had in your head, paled in comparison to the real thing.

Even though she was currently standing behind Miguel you could clearly see how muscular and just... big she was, scars along her body, her arms, her face and her legs. One of her hands was firmly holding Miguel's hip while the other worked furiously up and down his cock, already dripping with cum. Miguel had one hand over the one on his hip, while the other one was raised above his head and bent backward so he could hold Ambessa's neck as they kissed.

The moment Ambessa's eyes locked onto yours she broke the kiss, letting Miguel's moans sound around the room, "Is she the treat you promised, handsome?"

Miguel tried to respond but whatever he was about to was quickly interrupted by another high moan, but he managed to nod his head as his eyes too locked onto yours, a little smirk appearing on his face.

"Yes then. Are you just going to stand there? I don't mind if that's what you're into, but I'd like to have a good look at you. Thake off your clothes." It only seemed fair, after all you were the only one still fully dressed. You desired to remedy that as you locked the door behind you and started walking toward the two, taking off your clothes piece by piece.

Both Ambessa and Miguel took in the sight of your now naked body and the wetness already gathering between your legs. "What would you like me to do my lady?" Ambessa licked her lips as she looked between your legs and then back down at Miguel's cock.

"I think I'd like to see your skills." You were about to ask further when Ambessa's hand stilled, her index finger teasing the tip of Miguel's cock, "He's about to finish soon. Why don't you use that pretty mouth to help him?"

You gulp at the suggestion, or maybe more of a command you're not sure. Your eyes travel from Miguel's face to his cock which twitched as soon as your attention was on it, making more cum run down the shaft. "Do it please. I'm so damn close." You've never heard Miguel's voice like that, you actually wonder how long he was being edged before you got here. "I'm curious too you know." When you raise an eye brow at him, he just chuckles and shrugs, "A guy hears a lot, can you really blame me?"

"No, that'd make me a hypocrite." You step closer and hive him a brief kiss, "I thought about it too." Miguel's breath hitches as you kiss a path down his body as you get on your knees. Instead of taking his cock tight away you decide to clean it up first, licking off all the cum coating it.

"Fuck." Miguel's hips jerk forward when you finally wrap your mouth around the tip, taking him inch by inch, pulling up so you have only the tip in before you take in more, "Holy shit. Yeah, I see why you... got so much praise." You hum around his cock and tuck a lock of hair behind your ear as you increase your speed.

"Talk to me, handsome." Ambessa nibbles on Miguel's neck, "How does she feel?"

Miguel takes a deep breath as he tries to keep his body still in Ambessa's arms, "She's... fuck... I wanted to try her mouth for so long. Your mouth feels amazing, sucking my cock like that. And your... tongue gods... swipe it again..." You oblige and run your tongue over the cockhead, getting a broken moan of your name in return.

"Touch yourself, I want you to be ready for me." You open one eye to see Ambessa following the bobbing of your head with a satisfied grin.

With very little resistance you sink one finger inside of yourself, moving it in time with your mouth around Miguel's cock, your moans and whimpers only adding to his pleasure.

"I'm gonna come. Down your throat, I'll... can I please? I don't want to pull out. Wanna see you swallow it all." Miguel's hand let go of Ambessa's neck and cupped your cheek. One affirmative moan from you was all it took for get him to unleash his warm load. Gulp after gulp you took it all until you felt Miguel's hand on your cheek fall away, his breathing fast to catch his breath. When you pulled away a string of sticky cum still connected your mouth and his cock.

You were about to wipe it away when Ambessa did it for you. You thought she'd lick it herself but instead she pushed her thumb along your lips, "You heard him. All of it." Your mouth opened and closed around the thick digit, "Good girl. I love obedient little sluts like you." You felt your inner walls clench around your finger at the praise, "And you too." Miguel chuckled as he turned his head for a kiss.

"Thank you my lady, I try." He gives he another kiss and stumbles back a little as she moved away from him, her finger exiting your mouth with a wet pop. "I'm ok!" Miguel found his balance quickly.

"Stop." Her voice was assertive, her gaze even more so as she looked at the finger furiously working between your legs, a pool at wetness already beneath you.

"But..." You barely got a word out before Ambessa narrowed her eyes at you, which was enough to get you to obey. With a whimper you moved your finger out, brushing it over your clit as you did so.

"Come here." Ambessa pulled you by the wrist and onto the big bed. Your hands moved across her body, feeling every rippling muscle. "On your knees, mouth own, hips up." She bent her legs at the knees and guided your head down and between her legs. Your mouth started watering even before you took the first lick.

Ambessa hummed as you slowly licked a way between her folds, from her entrance all the way to her clit, dragging the flat of your tongue across it and closing your mouth around the stiff bundle of nerves.

"You do have a good mouth indeed." You moan around her clit, only getting a grunt in response, "Don't just stand there watching, I think she's more than ready for a cock." You felt the bed dip behind you and felt Miguel's hands smoothing over your thighs.

"What do you think pretty? Do you want my cock?" He teased you by only nudging the tip between your lips, his cock already as hard as it was before.

You move your hips backwards, lick Ambessa's clit one more time before replying, "I wanted it since I heard people talking about you."

Miguel smiles wide, "Yeah? All good things I hope?"

You barely hold back a moan as the tip of his cock presses over your clit, "Only good things darling." You bite your lower lip as you feel the cock slowly being pushed inside. You take a few seconds to adjust before you glance up at Ambessa who's leaning on her elbow with a very pleased look on her face.

"Now that's a pretty sight." Her hand cups your cheek, the touch much too gentle for someone of her demeanor. You almost want to melt into the touch but you have a different task. You kiss her palm before diving back between her legs, licking into her tight opening, moaning at the taste of her.

Soft hands grip your hips as Miguel starts to thrust in and out. "I'd go slow but... mmm... you're gripping me so tight. Fuck, I could keep my cock in here all day. No offence my lady."

Ambessa laughs and tangles her hand in your hair, gripping it in a vice tight grip. Her hips move toward your face when you whine half in pain half in pleasure, "Non taken. I'm the one who's getting the pleasure of seeing it after all. And after you're done... I'll make sure neither of you walk for days." Miguel's hips smack into yours with extra force. "Arch your back, beautiful. Ass up, I want to see him absolutely ruin that pretty little cunt of yours."

You can do nothing but comply, the new angle allowing Miguel's dick to thrust deeper, hitting a spot inside of you that's making your legs shake.

He starts to groan as he begins to rut into you, thighs slapping against your ass, his tongue pulsing, cum dripping into you bit by bit.

"You're getting so damn tight, love. Are you close? Or... maybe you want to make me come again and again. I can do that for you no problem." Miguel's voice was getting a little shaky, showing that he too was getting close.

Ambessa hums when you moan into her, your tongue curling upwards, licking and lapping up every drop of her juices, "He was right. You really do have a talented mouth. I'd wager you could bring almost any Warlord to their knees. Lick faster." You comply as you feel her press your head closer, "That's a good girl. Gods you were made for this weren't you? A pretty little mouth, and a pretty little cunt, made to be thoroughly fucked. And you take it so well too."

You roll your hips backwards onto Miguel's cock, which makes his pace falter for just a moment before he finds it again.

"Don't come inside her yet." Ambessa commands and both you and Miguel whine.

"Lady Medarda... I don't think I can do that... she's already trying to milk me dry." The pace that Miguel is using is one you didn't even think he was capable off.

Ambessa yanks you back by the hair, pulling you away from her cunt even as you try to get back, "Is she now?"

You're having trouble focusing, trying to catch your breath while licking Ambessa's slick from your chin and mouth and desperately trying not to come around Miguel's cock.

"Please." You beg as your hips roll back again. Miguel's grip on your hips tightens, his pace getting more and more sluggish with each thrust.

"You're lovely when you beg for it. And that expression? I could look at it day after day and not get tired of it. Say it again. Beg for like the good little whore I know you are." You clench your inner walls around Miguel's shaft over and over.

"Please. I want to... I need him to give me his cum." Ambessa grinned and nodded up at Miguel.

This time Miguel couldn't keep his voice down, and neither could you as both your orgasm crashed over you almost at the same time. You slammed your hips back backwards riding his cock as he spilled ropes of cum into your sopping wet cunt. Miguel's whole body was shaking by the time he finished and pulled out, his cock still hard.

"You two made quite a mess." Ambessa shifted on the bed, sliding further down as she pulled you up into her arms, "Lucky for you both it's the kind of mess that I like best." Ambessa's lips captured yours, licking into your mouth to taste herself on your tongue as her hand moved down your body, smacking your ass before she drove two fingers inside you. You were already sensitive enough, her rough fingers only added to it as she fucked the cum back inside you.

"Fuck, I... again... I'm..." Your orgasm bleeds into another as Ambessa keeps thrusting into your quivering hole.

When you finally manage to catch your breath you give Ambessa a blissed out smile.

"You have a pretty smile too. From what I've seen so far, all of you is pretty. But there's one part I'd like to have a closer look at." Ambessa pulled you up with ease, spreading your thighs and licking the slick and cum off your thighs, "And while I'm having my fill of you, if you would handsome?"

"With pleasure." Miguel let out a long, satisfied groan as he slid all the way inside in one thrust. He took a few deep breaths before he started to move back and forth, "Good?" Ambessa chuckled and tightened around him in response. "Ok, ok. Fuck. I get it." You heard that tone enough times to know that he was trying his damn hardest not to come right there and then.

Without even realizing it you ground yourself onto Ambessa's face. "So eager even though you just came twice? Oh sweetie you are going to be so much fun." Ambessa didn't waste a moment as she pushed her tongue inside you, her hands very loosely holding your thighs which allowed you to move your hips as you pleased. "Don't hold back, I want to hear every sound you make."

As soon as you heard that you no longer bothered trying to swallow you moans, instead throwing your head back in pleasure as Ambessa ate you out like you were her last meal. At the same time you felt warm kisses being pressed across your back, accompanied with strained moans.

"Finger. Please." Ambessa chuckled as she moved her tongue from your entrance to your clit at an agonizingly slow pace and she circled your clit even slower, applying just enough of pressure to make you chase her tongue for more. Soon enough a thick finger pushed inside you and noticed that Ambessa was matching Miguel's pace, or rather he was trying to match hers.

You let out a long strained moan as Ambessa added another finger, curling them toward herself.

Your whole body shook and for a moment you thought you'd black out from the pleasure, luckily Ambessa's hand caught you, while her fingers slowly worked in and out to help you ride out the end of your orgasm.

"Fuck." Miguel groaned, "Now?" His hips moved at a rough pace as he made sure to drag his cock almost all the way out, only leaving the tip in before he slammed back in with force.

Ambessa hummed and clenched around him which made him falter and let out a string of incoherent words, "Now." She mumbled as she moaned lightly while kissing and nipping at your inner thighs. The moment she says that Miguel increases his pace until he finally, finally comes with Ambessa's legs wrapped around him. He leans his forehead against your back he catches his breath.

You still feel Ambessa move under you, riding Miguel's cock, her small moans muffled by your thighs. Her grip tightens on your thigs as she lets out a long string of curses, you hear Miguel moan and whimper as Ambessa comes all over his cock, her strong legs still wrapped tight around him until she's satisficed.

When Miguel finally pulls out you hear both him and Ambessa exhale. A moment later Miguel's hands are on your hips, his lips on your neck, smiling against you're skin.

"And I'm the insatiable one." You turn your head to steal a quick kiss from him.

There's a brief, amused chuckle from Ambessa as she taps your thighs, letting you know to move to the side. As soon as you do that though she pulls you back down and against her left hip. Miguel takes his spot on top of her, laying his body across her, his legs crossed one over the other at the ankles and slowly kicking in the air, a very pleases smile plastered across his face.

"Proud of yourself there?" Ambessa's left hand reaches down to cup his cheek.

"Yes actually. I lasted longer than last time." He smirks with his sunshine grin and tilts his head further into Ambessa's palm.

Ambessa hums and runs her hand through his hair before tucking his face into her neck. She turns her head toward you and just like you did with Miguel earlier, steals a kiss.

"The two of you better cancel any other clients you have. I'm keeping you for as long as I'm staying in Piltover."

I'm looking side by side picture with Viktor and that local cuisine boy and...they look nothing alike. 💀 The only thing they have in common is the mole being in the same place.

What If Jinx and Local Cuisine (LC) Were in Cahoots?

A writer for Arcane confirmed that Jinx does have friends that will be revealed next season, and I realized LC might actually fit the bill as one of them.

First, I should explain what kinds of traits make people gravitate towards Jinx.

From the few scenes we see of LC, he actually demonstrates the kind of traits that would make him compatible for Jinx's circle. People in Zaun, from regular chempunks to Inx members admire (and even champions like Sylas) Jinx because she satisfies/inspires their desire for revenge against their oppressors in Piltover. These are people that accept the necessity of violence and choose to go further by reveling in it as a source of catharsis.

What does this have to do with LC? Well the first time we meet LC is at the brothel where he was seen wearing the Wolf's mask. The Wolf is a part of a twin personification of death in Runeterra, known as the Kindred. The Lamb represents quick and painless death and wears a wolf mask, while the Wolf wears a white lamb mask and represents violent and painful death. The Wolf associated with punishment because when you refuse the Lamb's "gift" by resisting death the Wolf will relentlessly hunt down the fying to tear them apart to make them submit.

LC's association with the Wolf, related to violent death, has fueled speculation on his purpose going into season 2. Even if you don't subscribe to the theory that he's related to the princess beheaded by Ambessa and he's on a revenge quest, the show chose to depict him as an entity kills with a violent passion.

If the theory's true why wouldn't LC want to see Piltover burn as much as the Medardas if the theory's true? The princess theory offers solid motivation for why he wouldn't just be targeting the Medardas, but Piltover too. While Noxus is the warmongering expansionist empire that killed the princess, Piltover is the nation that facilitates its survival as vital trading partner to the empire. The advent of the hexgates has likely only improved the efficiency of Noxian warband supply lines. People like the Medardas invest in Piltover to keep themselves wealthy and on top, hell the practically run it now.

A righteous thirst for revenge and no compunction with violence against Piltover makes Jinx and LC potentially birds of a feather. If that's true then LC could theoretically fulfill a critical component for Jinx's operation, information.

For Jinx to pull of even half her exploits she needs an intel source, and LC is the most obvious connection. LC is the only character from Zaun that can regularly move between the two cities on legitimate business to meet his high profile clients like Ambessa without drawing attention. If most of his Piltovan clients act like Ambessa, then they probably talk about sensitive topics at and around him all the time, like the one between Ambessa and Jayce that led to the refinery raid. LC is probably the best source of informal knowledge on ongoing developments in Piltover's highest circles of society.

There's no way Jinx could pull of the heist without prior inside knowledge. The shipment raid and the heist all happened on the same day, Progress Day, within a handful of hours. Jinx would have had to know that there was a hexgem to steal in the first place, because that was a guarded secret. Even the first time she robbed a home in Piltover required an outside party, Ekko, to case the joint for her. Instead of robbing a nice trinket from a great house for Silco as an apology, which she was entirely capable of, instead she KNEW to target the hextech workshop. Jinx knew where the guards would be posted and what abandoned building to set on fire and rig with explosives. Almost like she already had intel on the hexgem and decided to strike when it was convienent.

I'd also like to include the fact that even in the concept art for Jinx's hideout we see Jinx in the zone on her work bench while a mysterious figure comfortably leans into her space.

While the figure has few discernible features that matches with most of Zaun's cast in the show and the concept art, there is one determinable feature. The figure has a sleeve with a red and gold stripe pattern similar to the one LC wears at the brothel.

The mysterious figure also lounges on the rail in a similar fashion to how we the audience were first properly introduced to LC.

Personally, I think it makes sense for Jinx to make friends with figure like LC because not only do the have similar goals, Silco would likely approve of it too. Silco doesn't like Vi or Ekko because they threaten his relationship with Jinx, someone like LC, who doesn't work for him, but is still under his purview won't do that.

And honestly, LC gives the same vibes as Chadd, a violent, organized, and prominent member of the Inx (Jinx followers), just with less hero worship.

Sidenote: Wouldn't it be hilarious if it were the case that the only reason Jimx knew how to break into the Kiramman's home is because LC told her about it. You can bet this dude went on jobs as an escort to atleast one Councilor's party in their home.

#lc is also the only character in the cast outside of caitlyn who has a change of clothes to fut in with zaun and piltover #and caitlyn had to steal them #the only time ambessa kicked lc out was when the conversation was going to be EMOTIONALLY vulnerable between her and Mel #violent intense well dressed dudes flock to jinx's personality #it's a pattern #pretty boy arcane #local cuisine arcane #jinx arcane #arcane #arcane meta

Hi! This was requested by AlienDuck on AO3. Hope you'll enjoy!

MORNING AFTER WITH SILCO,LCB,SALO AND HEIMERDINGER

You knew Silco was an early bird;you were expecting him to be far gone;not even a trace of his perfume or warmth on the space next to you.

This time you found him sleeping soundly, limbs tangled to yours. That was a new but welcomed situation.

You were just about to try to un-tangle you when his grip got stronger -Stay...- He mumbled -...please-

You shrugged with a content smile and relaxed.

When you opened your eyes, his hands were already on you;working magic on your back.

-Good morning...- You said before letting a hum out of your lips.

-Morning little lamb. I thought I could give you a massage after yesterday-

You appreciated the gesture since you recalled him not going easy on you. You saw the stars and more that night.

-Thank you...I really needed it-

-Want me to prepare you breakfast?- He stopped;kissing and napping your neck. You giggled -You're spoiling me!-

-Anything for you-

A wonderful smell reached your nose;waking you up. You could already feel your mouth watering.

-Dear the maid brought us breakfast-

Salo put the tray on the bed and got under the covers.

-You don't have work today?- You took a sip from your cup.

-No, not after what we did last night. I took a day off just to stay with you. I wanted to make sure you were fine-

You almost choke;it wasn't unusual for him to treat you well, but he was so busy, he barely took a day off from work.

-I...thank you- You kissed his cheek and saw his smile. You could never get tired of his rare genuine smiles.

You thought it was impossible to fall for a Yordle but Heimerdinger managed to do the impossible.

His mannerism ended up stealing your heart and he was a gentleman through and never pushed you to do something that made you uncomfortable.

-My dear?I believe it is time to wake up-

You grumbled and hid your head under the pillow.

You heard the yordle chuckle -As much as I would love for us to spend more time together we both have work to do-

You sighed -Yeah;you're right- You sat on the bed-At least let's have breakfast together?-

He kissed the palm of your hands -Sure. That sounds great-

Remember this guy?

Oh what am I saying, of course you do. There’s not much that we know about him other than that his name might be Miguel, that he’s absolutely getting pegged and that I find his face extra punchable. However, there’s a compelling theory making rounds that he might have an agenda of his own. Concretely, that theory links him to this girl:

And sure enough, when it comes to visage, these two do look similar. The same shade of green eyes and brown hair, pale skin and prominent lips... the girl’s dress even seems to be of the same turquoise colour as his jacket. It’s not too far-fetched to imagine these two being related, other than that one died in Ionia (recently revealed via one of the artists working on the show) and the other is now working as an escort in Piltover, seen wearing the mask of Kindred no less - the twin aspects of death:

Separate, but never parted, Kindred represents the twin essences of death. Lamb’s bow offers a swift release from the mortal realm for those who accept their fate. Wolf hunts down those who run from their end, delivering violent finality within his crushing jaws.

But what I find the most interesting about this tinfoil hat-worthy theory is what it would mean for Ambessa. At this point, she already has a fire catching under her ass, with her rival seemingly dead-set on wiping out her family. Old sins catching up to her and coming to bite her in the ass sounds like yet another layer of drama to pile on top of that already loaded plotline, but it wouldn’t be unlike Arcane to expand upon seemingly minute details and make them plot-relevant later. We’ve seen random items from ep. 1 showing up again during the mad tea party scene in the finale, the reappearance of Huck in ep. 6, as well as the coincidence that the boy who dies at Jayce’s hands in ep. 8 being a child of a moderately important side character.

To further support this theory - if indeed you can support a crack theory - Ambessa is always nursing a glass of wine in her hand and in this particular scene from ep. 9 even comments on its quality, appearing to be less than impressed with it:

91 00:06:33 --> 00:06:35 Noxian wine is bold by comparison. 92 00:06:35 --> 00:06:37 The grapes are hardened by the climate.

That is to say that perhaps the wine is poisoned, if indeed revenge is the dish being served to Ambessa. Local Cuisine seems very upset when Mel slaps the glass out of her mother’s hand and spills the wine, although he could very well just be angry about Mel ruining his pristine white shirt.

But what I personally find compelling is the possibility of parallel arcs in s2 where Ambessa and Jayce (and also Viktor) would have to answer for the lives they took. And Arcane writers do love their parallel arcs. Let’s enumerate some of those parallels:

Caitlyn, Jayce and Heimerdinger are forced to confront the realities of life in the undercity and their own complicity in the exploitation thereof

Jayce and Vi are trying to save Viktor and Jinx respectively

Mel and Jinx are forced to weaponise hextech at the behest of their parent

Viktor and Jinx undergo a transformation that makes them inhuman

Viktor and Jayce accidentally kill an innocent bystander, using a technology they invented to help people

Jayce and Vander are forced to make a deal with “the other side” in order to prevent further loss of life

Vander and Silco are given an ultimatum that involves giving up their adoptive children

Mel and Jinx are forced to choose between their parent and another person

... and many more.

Jayce killing - albeit by accident - a son of a prominent Zaun chembaron certainly doesn’t seem like a throwaway detail that will remain unaddressed. Renni will no doubt want to avenge her son and Jayce will thus be forced to face consequences of his actions, in addition to the trauma of killing a child roughly the same age he had been when he was saved by magic.

What’s more, according to the Council Archives, Renni has a personalised chemtank for her own use, meaning that she has one of these babies all for herself:

Do I smell a possible fight in s2? I do! If Jayce has to take up the hammer again and become his vigilante self of League of Legends lore, this duel might very well be the next step in his journey of embracing the mantle of the Defender of Tomorrow.

Admittedly, Ambessa’s and Jayce’s situations are not at all similar. They might both be heads of state that have taken some drastic measures, but she is a warmonger with many other, more heinous crimes to her name than Jayce’s accidental manslaughter; however, none of the parallels I’ve listed above are one-for-one examples either. There are always differences.

But I digress; what you really should take away from this post is: I think that Local Cuisine is sus. Or perhaps I just hate his face and want someone to rearrange it for him. Or both.

I find the thought of Local Cuisine being secretly evil so fucking funny. Cause like what is he gonna do to Ambessa? I'm pretty sure she can snap his neck without much effort. The only way he can have an advantage is if he has Shimmer or he's a super well trained assassin like some Black Widow shit.

It's even funnier if he's really bad at his attempts and Ambessa knows about all of them so she just avoids it all the while letting him think she's not onto him. And the only reason she lets him live is because she thinks his attempts are hilarious, and you know, because they fuck on an hourly basis.

Finished watching Arcane last night and I have some thoughts about Ambessa Medara that I need to get out of my system.

What I find fascinating about Ambessa as a character is the fanbase's reception of her: she's a big muscle mommy with a hidden soft side. However, I don't think the show's writers want us to like her and especially don't intend to portray her as an attractive person. The reason I think this is because (aside from her gender) she's a textbook example of a toxic, hypermasculine, alpha-male power fantasy.

Let's elaborate. Only a few minutes after we're introduced to her (having invited herself into her estranged daughter's world in a display of Emotionally-Healthy Parenting TM), she announces that she's off to "sample the local cuisine," gesturing towards a male consort/companion who awaits her.

And then there's this scene:

Here we are shown Ambessa naked in a bath being massaged by the same comparatively small companion we met earlier. The power dynamic in the relationship is clearly one of domination and submission. She's indulgent in her consumption and luxury and lobs criticism after criticism at a visibly uncomfortable Jayce, all while the artwork behind the two reinforces how this exchange will play out: Ambessa holds all the power, while Jayce is on the defensive.

In short, everything about the way Ambessa talks and carries herself is meant to convey one simple message: I am powerful. She never needs to insist on her power--it's self-evident.

On the surface, this seems like an extremely well-written feminist icon. Ambessa is strong and confident, bending to no-one and self-assured. In flashbacks and in her own dialogue, she's presented as someone who is willing to take ruthless and decisive action regardless of other's feelings. She exudes confidence and charisma and never apologizes for the space she takes up in other's lives. Other people exist largely to fulfill her goals and desires. Further, later she reveals that she exiled her daughter Mel because her daughter's more merciful and diplomatic nature weakened Ambessa and her resolve.

In short, Ambessa is the textbook icon of hypermasculine power fantasies enfleshed in a woman.

Thing is though, these traits don't become less toxic when they happen to belong to a woman. Imagine the two scenes above if the character's genders were swapped. Then what we see is a confident, muscled warmonger who establishes his place in the social hierarchy through displays of sexual dominance and belittling those around him. Imagine Caitlyn attempting to discuss the situation in Piltover as a nude, muscled man insults her competence and strides naked over to her in a clear display of power. That's not a character we celebrate; it's a character who makes us feel violated by their very presence. Moreover, it's a character we've all probably seen before a hundred times.

Toxic behavior doesn't stop being toxic when done by a woman instead of a man.

Ambessa is not intended to be a likable character. She manipulates and dehumanizes others (especially sexually), refuses to show mercy, and pushes away those closest to her out of her fear of weakness. She's not an icon of female empowerment. Her character is a commentary on how easy it is to think that feminism means adopting the toxic ways in which men have often exercised power over others. Dehumanization and exploitation aren't behaviors that we should celebrate just because they make a women look strong. Rather, we should re-evaluate what we think strength looks like.
