Another Clue in Viktor's Tarot Card?

I think I figured something out. In an older post I talked about how Arcane used tarot symbology to possibly hint at future developments for season 2. It was specifically how Viktor and Jinx fit into the role of the Magician and Death tarots respectively and how it works for Sevika. There was one thing that was bugging the hell out of me when i finished it. What was the symbol within the Machine Herald's grasp?

At first I thought it was the mathematical symbol for fish (∝), without the curves, like how Ekko' infinity symbol are sharp triangles instead of round loops. I thought it could mean Viktor needed to recognize the balance and proprtions necessary to unlock the Arcane and be an indirect reference to how similar but different Ekko and Viktor are. But I think the answer might be simpler.

It's an 'X', sideways. Obviously, the 'X' could refer to the x-factor the Magician needs to unlock the Hexcore's power. And that's the fun trick of it because there's only been one person I know in League that's been explicitly associated with this kind of 'X', it's Jinx.

When Jinx's character debuted in League of Legends, instead of releasing a bio first, they had her 'vandalize' Vi's page with graffiti (really fun marketing move). The end of the page had a signature tag that said "X WUZ HERE" because they didn't want to reveal her name so they used this special "X" instead. Later, the tag was just replaced with "JINX WAS HERE.". I thought it was a one-time thing, but no, Jinx's special 'X' still remains in the game to refer to her presence. For example, one of Caitlyn's gag interactions has her shooting her rifle that's been tampered with by Jinx. And when it happens Caitlyn goes, "Ready, aim... (gasps) Urgh! Why am I not surprised?". Who else could it be?

So this symbol is still associated with Jinx, specifically as a substitution for her name, and it's in the Machine Herald's grasp. I don't think this is meant to hint at any future control Viktor would have over Jinx, nor would he want to. It could mean that he will need a partner in Jinx to help him complete the Hexcore once he and Jayce have their falling out and he's cast out from Piltover (some real Silco and Singed vibes honestly). But maybe it's another hint at how similar their actions will be perceived by us, the audience, like they fly under the same banner of void-touched outcasts playing offense and defense against Piltover. And more so that they will have a deeply impact full relationship with one another. Look at Ekko and Vi, they both bare her tag and you can't pretend she hasn't left her mark on them and their motivations. It's just odd that for Viktor, her tag is in a different position. Maybe it's a past, present, future thing.

I wouldn't bring this up if the creators of Arcane hadn't said that there were plenty of hints at season 2 that the audience hasn't picked up yet, so maybe this is another one. Also, I have noticed that Jinx sometimes has Ekko's infinity symbol on her marketing but it's still solidly an Ekko thing. Even when she has it on her Flame Chomper grenades it's used explicitly to frame Ekko and the Firelights for her damage because it's so well associated with him.

Update: I don't know why I'm just remembering this, but Jinx is also just wearing a big X on her shirt. In fact she's covered in X's, her shirt, her necklacklace choker thing, her shoelaces, her belt, her bandage, the back of her shoe they all have X's in her design.

Update 2: I found more X's! They're all over her background in the 'Enemy' music video. The art really isn't being subtle when you notice.

Update 3: Pretty sure this is the last one... maybe. After rewatching I noticed Vi's prison uniform actually has the symbol as a part of her ID number. Altogether her ID would be X516. Though whenever Vi was referred to as prisoner 516. Alone it actually says her name in Roman numerals, 5=V, 1=I, and 6=VI (a but redundant). If we treat it the 'X' as Jinx's name it makes Jinx and Vi before Vi even knows Powder has grown into Jinx, already intertwining their identities.

Update 4: I really thought I was done, but I wasn't. I found that both of Ekko's loc rings (which look similar to the bullet shells Jinx uses in her braids) have partial infinities that look similar to her symbol. Ekko specifically is represented with a complete hourglass, and this is literally the one exception. The fact that this symbol is visible when he talks about Zaun and Silco makes me feel ridiculous. If this is a subtle hint at the way Jinx affects Ekko... wow. Jinx isn't even dead, but she's practically haunting all these characters.

Seriously, it's a purposeful choice to do this, his game icon has full hour glasses. But in Arcane they're not, they're drawn to be similar to Jinx's symbol. Just like with Viktor and Vi, it means internally, not even consciously, he's seeking her out for her.

#viktor arcane #the machine herald #machine herald #jinx arcane #arcane #arcane season 2 speculation #it sometimes feels like any mystery can use jinx to solve it #she's a wild card #a loose cannon #jinx is the random ingredient that falls into the cooking pot and when you taste it you’ve invented a whole new dish #it feels so on purpose that almost every league medium keeps viktor and jinx's interactions from minimal to nonexistent #they'd cause too much of an uproar #legends of runeterra technically doesn’t count #vi arcane #ekko arcane #ekko #arcane speculation #arcane meta #arcane season 2

Me, with the unpopular opinion that, in a wq lives au, where wq marries jc, novel canon wwx is not taking well the news about chengqing marriage

#Like post res wwx doesn't have nice thoughts about jc #I imagine him thinking: 'look jc hates me so much he has forced wq to marry him. Because it's a forced marriage. Why else would she have #Married jc??#Look at jc hating me so much he has ruined his and wq's life. Do you see him lz?'#And then idk. wwx is such a wild card #Maybe he would have forgotten the murder mister to investigate (apparently) forced chenqing marriage #While wq is already very done because jc is fretting over jl's first haunt. Their beloved daughters first day of school #Yes jc they have everything already. Lotus pier it's their sect... WHAT A-NING IS THERE? MY A-NING?#This au is probably wild #Who knows what wn feels there. Like Imo he doesn't like jc. Maybe even hates him. Uh #Someone should write something like that please

We were all fools for claiming Eda would be the chronic adoptive mom. This lady has legally adopted exactly 1 child and found family bonded with one other. That is it. Story wise she capped it at two.

Camila, on the other hand, started with one child, adopted two in everything except actual legality, and unofficially semi-adopted three others. She took one look at King and already loves him, I have no doubt she will try to unofficially adopt him as well. Camila is the chronic child adopter and the only way she could rise to a physically unbeatable level is if she nabbed the Collector. Which I fully believe she can and would do

#the owl house #toh #for the future #camila noceda #eda clawthorne #king clawthorne #king #adopted kids #noceda #noceda family #the collector #text post #talk #drabble post #holds everyone so very gently. i saw those fics about 'ha too late yr on the christmas card already' eda #where is it for camila huh. where is it.

Alright, it’s time to talk about Lycion and dysmorphia and being a trans allegory

Because… yeah, I think a lot of people can really relate to being scared of mirrors because you hate everything you see in them, and going to extreme lengths to get a body you love

It’s not a complicated allegory

But, and I think this is pretty important and possibly more useful to the trans community than declaring him ours and trans… dysmorphia and dysphoria are not exclusive to trans people

They’re not even particularly related to any part of the body; it can be any part of it

And like 15 years ago when I was learning about trans issues and shit, I went and did a little research, because I eat knowledge. And y’know what fully settled any questions I had?

Found a case about a lady with what is currently being called body integrity/identity disorder, which is basically dysmorphia so severe that people have otherwise healthy limbs amputated to be able to live life in a body they can stand

This lady got both legs fully amputated, got a wheelchair, and became a pillar of her community where before she was almost bed bound

And y’know what, if that’s a thing that can happen and we can all agree that removing her legs was integral to her health, y’know what seems completely trivial by comparison?

Every gender affirming surgery ever

And y’know what is even more trivial?

All the other transition measures that have nothing to do with surgery, like hormones, puberty blockers, and social transitioning

Being trans has become a super political idea for basically no reason whatsoever, but it’s harder to maintain that ideology if you learn about things like dysphoria and dysmorphia as just medical conditions that absolutely anyone can get, and then look at what that means for gender dysphoria

Cuz if peoples’ brains can decide an entire limb has Got To Go then yeah, they’re probably also capable of deciding “that pronoun is Wrong” and we can take that just as seriously; it’s a much easier fix and also free

Basically I’m saying Lycion is our gateway drug cuz if you can understand this elf hates his body so hard he became a werewolf about it, are you really gonna throw a fit over someone getting a packer?

None of this to say you can’t or shouldn’t headcanon him as trans (and unless it comes directly and unambiguously from Ryoko Kui it’s a headcanon, nothing wrong with that it’s what fanon is for)

Just, y’know. Sound folks out on him without mentioning that part right away for your own safety and possibly entertainment 😁👉👉

Oh and super important: he’s not canonically cis either. Pretty sure it was just never specified. Enjoy and apply this knowledge across every character ever whose assigned birth gender isn’t brought up in canon

The thing Lycion definitely is in canon is a goddamn furry and an otherkin allegory, and arrested for awoo crimes. He’s one of only 5 characters in the Adventurer’s Bible with a stated gender (the others being Otta, Kaka, Kiki, and Inutade - everyone else has pronouns but no gendered nouns in English at least)

(Lycion’s “definitely a man” - or “definitely male” in the official translation, which technically excludes him from the gendered committee altogether)

You are, of course, welcome to disregard canon in all things you do - I personally encourage it, it’s much more fun to play in the space and do your own thing, and Dunmeshi has deliciously efficient story telling; there is so much empty space to play in

#delicious in dungeon #dungeon meshi #dungeon meshi spoilers #lycion #lycion dungeon meshi #trans thoughts #body dysmorphia #gender dysphoria #dysphoria #dysmorphia #everyone’s all about trans headcanons but when you mention theirs is just a cis headcanon… 👀#canon is limited and a suggestion at best #headcanons and fanons are free and wild #my personal headcanon is that lycion absolutely will not have sex in elf shape cuz he hates it #you’re not obligated to join me but are welcome nonetheless 😏#yeah this means he does need to text a guard every time but so does fleki when she gets high and familiars #and that’s canon that she does it #so i just think he would #and mithrun’s not gonna say no #but it’s funnier if he texts pattadol and plays his dysmorphia card and just doesn’t say why he wants to change #anyway hi i am super normal and totally a great person to have in your fandom who will not go super deep on wild tangents #definitely not making knotting jokes in the background shhhhh #i personally am devoid of gender but y’all that have one or more seem to like em

Build A Lesbian (poll 6)

Your choice made her happy! She looks pretty comfy judging from her big smile.

Her hair looks a little strange without any color though. So...

Examples with the respective colors:

#Actually managed to get some art out!#it's really fun drawing her #I played around with some color and I didn't find many colors I like tbh #I'm a basic bitch....#I at least wanted to put in one wild card lmao #I do have two favourites here but ultimately I will like them all #polls #my art #build a lesbian #The Tenderness She Gives

i cannot explain it. arlecchino & freminet's potential relationship is so fascinating to me. i think the trio all has a bit of arlecchino in them but freminet's the one who's a potential threat. they both were under the previous director, they're both perceptive even of the divine (they could both read furina), they both use their appearance & personality to achieve their goals/missions. she knows how to redirect lyney & lynette's cunning/analytical nature/loyalty as she wants, and freminet will follow direct orders. so what happens when he decides something else takes precedence?

freminet says protecting his family has become his personal goal rather than an oath given by either director. do you ever wonder if arlecchino has considered the outcome of freminet deciding she's hurt his family & deciding to act on it, like how she killed the previous director?

#thoughts #i hope mhy keeps arle as a schemer who cares abt the kids while also being entirely willing to manipulate & use them as she sees fit #like. she's like the twins' personalities combined w mim's strength. does this make sense?#like mim is a threat *bc* he 'just follows orders' so much. as soon as he goes off script he becomes the wild card #idk! i think mim was placed w the twins so he'd never become like how arle currently is. both so he wouldnt be an obvious threat & to help #in their intros it seemed like she was harsher on him than the twins & mim has “father...” as one of his fallen lines. idk! its interesting #& if time stuff hasnt gone down they may have known each other when they were both under the prev director. yknow?#could mim know arle's name? could one of the other older kids? i want to know more!#freminet #genshin theory #genshin impact theory #arlecchino

I love writing fanfiction about characters mentioned literally once and who fanon ignores enough to not give a personality. she is now completely customizable!! it's so freeing...truly the most american form of fanfiction by far.

On the one hand, it would be relatively easy to transition in the Locked Tomb universe, on the other hand if you want that really good Pussy™️you'd want to go to the best flesh magician available.

And unfortunately that would be Ianthe or Mercymorn.

#I can't even imagine what kind of scrungly vag Ianthe would give you #like it'd work for sure but who knows what she'd put up in there #Mercymorn is a wild card #she'll do an excellent job but she may do something heinous to you out of boredom #the locked tomb #tlt #ianthe tridentarius #mercymorn the first

I'm genuinely into the AU idea of Shiva leaving Cass with Willis. He doesn't even need to be the father for it to work, I can totally see her showing up out of nowhere to hand someone a baby while she goes and beats the shit out of David Cain, and her options for people she knows who could be trusted with a baby are. Not a lot. Then oops Willis doesn't want to give Cass into foster care.

Here's the thing tho Shiva was totally on board with Cains idea to raise the perfect weapon and the idea that child could one day challenge her and kill her, she was just cute like that, so I can't see her giving cass to Willis unless cass was willis' child, or cain was already dead at this point or there was doubt over if cain was the dad

#ask #anon #Shiva is a bit of a wild card tho #So she may decide it's more fun to mess with cain by giving him a baby not cass but a different one #Just to see how it all plays out #(now I'm picturing a Jason cass swapped au that'd be hilarious)
