Related to the "sleepy greyhound" content, I can see Machete sleeping like Dracula. Stiff like a board with his arms crossed over his chest. Drama, even in his sleep

I don't know about full blown Dracula pose but he definitely has a habit of crossing his arms before falling asleep.

It's a guarded/protective gesture more than anything.

Lunari Heritage in Zaun

This is gonna be a reach, but from the little we've seen of Vi and Jinx's mom and younger Silco, I'd guess they were both from the same ethnic group.

In a place like Zaun, where the people are left with scraps, any piece of jewelry sticks out. Vi's mom and Silco are both wearing similar pieces of jewelry. Silco's bracelet could likely be fitted as a necklace since it twice wraps over his wrist. Neither are wearing anything of high quality, but the necklace and bracelet in their respective pictures seem decently maintained if not worn. That's when I thought, these are probably heirlooms.

In fact they looked pretty similar too, but in smaller scale of the princess's own pendants. I wouldn't bring this up if it weren't for the fact that Piltovans prioritize elaborate art-deco aesthetics, the more elaborately geometric the better (Councilor Shoola). So you would assume even the simplest jewelry would be a square pendant or a straight line. But no, big plain circles, and then I remembered we saw that before, on the princess Ambessa killed. Big bronze circles.

And when we look at young Vi , you notice that she's wearing jewelry too. A simple necklace with a green (it looks green) gem. And I realized that the princess's necklace was also adorned green gems.

I'm pulling from scraps, but it's interesting that small things these Zaunites have to adorn themselves (though not for long with the time skips) are similar versions if not simpler version's of the princess's.

At first I thought this meant that many of the cast were actually of Ionian descent. But then in the Princess's scene a thought kept coming back to me, "Why is Mel wearing purple?". Mel, a skilled diplomat from a young age, typically wears the main colors of the nations she hosts and is hosted by. White for Piltover, Black for Noxus (Ambessa), and always with her signature accents of gold. So if Mel followed her mother to Ionia ,where green is a culturally significant color, why purple? It's because Mel and Ambessa weren't in Ionia, they were in Targon fighting the Lunari.

The Lunari are Rakkor tribal people in the Targonian region who worship the moon, and are persecuted for it by the Solari, the religious order that worships the sun. While technically Mt. Targon is influenced by Mt. Olympus and Greek mythology aesthetic, that's more the case for the Solari. Overtime the Lunari aesthetic has been mixed it's originally nomadic culture with East Asian influences. The prominent colors of the Lunari happen to be turquoise, silver, black and purple. It was such a little thing to remember but it made me see connections I hadn't thought about.

Suddenly everything starts to connect. The bronze coins represent the 3 moons that exist in Arcane's Runeterra. How do we know there are 3 moons, because the Valdiani piece Jinx stole was depicting their planet. In the Valdiani there are 3 orbits circling the Earth, meaning 3 moons (or satelites). Now the engraving on the gold of the princess's necklace makes sense, because it's supposed to resemble the gates at the peak of Mt. Targon. The pendant itself is shaped like the mountain with the gates fitted at the top.

Frankly, it works for the Princess to have been Lunari and waves of descendants of the Lunari to arrive in Piltover and end up in Zaun. In Arcane, Piltover was created as a safe haven to escape the Rune Wars 200 years from the start of the show. Even after the Rune Wars ended the shipping port has likely seen waves of migrant labor and refugees from the ongoing crisis that occur in Runeterra (*cough*Noxus*cough*). It's likely that many of the current generation of Zaunites are of mixed heritage of the various fleeing people's.

It creates a whole new dynamic of the ways in which Piltover's laws, their Ethos, strips the people of Zaun from their identity and reducing them to tools for the mines. Magic is inherently a part of religious ceremonies and religion in general in Runeterra, especially for the Lunari. How do you practice your religion in a place that has banned the means by which it's conducted? There must have been more people like the Lunari who didn't have a problem with their magic, their problem was that they were being persecuted.

The remnants of family keepsakes brought over as communities fled were clung to as best as possible especially as they had to let go of part their spiritual identity. But even that doesn't seem to have lasted either. Vi doesn't keep her necklace, her mother is dead, so lost is her necklace, and we never see Silco wear his bracelet. They could have been stolen, or at best, hidden for safe keeping, maybe Enforcers get suspicious at the hint of mysticism and suddenly they want to talk.

Finally, maybe a little less related, it is interesting how prominent Piltovans and Zaunites take on day and night aspects. The sun shines over Piltover at their best, begins to set at times of uncertainty. While in the cover of night with moon above, the strongest Zaunites strike hardest. One more thing, it is interesting how Arcane's Jinx has taken on darker tones of purple rather than stick with neon pink. I always have to go back and look at a reference to remember that her pants are purple-er than I recall.

Update: I wanted to include that the large doodle Jinx made on her cup actually looks similar to the Lunari's sigil. And the sigil remains on the cup into the timeskip, also the center moon is made smaller within the crescent like in the necklace. I also noticed Jinx's cup later has more violent bomb imagery around it.

Something about baby machete makes me cry really hard. he looks so nervous and little I just want to hug him and tell him it will all be okay

(Also I’m not 100% sure which one’s machete and which ones Vasco so incase I get the name wrong I’m talking about the martyr)

People seem very touched by the bread, I'm delighted.

I can't stop thinking about what'll happen after. there has to be an after because roier cubito has to return and I refuse to accept a world where he doesn't. so how will it go? he's gonna come back to a new life that isn't his own even though it should be, even though it originally was. he's gonna come back and he's gonna meet with cellbit cubito and he's only gonna know how their relationship always was before purgatory, but cellbit will know their relationship how it was now when it was slowly dripping down a drain. they'll be used to two different things. cellbit will be used to having the hurt of distance made up by the comfort of believing that his husband is fine and safe and happy. roier will be used to "as long as we're together we'll overcome" and to "if you were ever replaced by an imposter, I would know." because of lag, sure, but cellbit said he would know.

pepito is gonna be used to a dad that was there and who blessed pepito goodbye and who bought plushies and who went on adventures and who definitely wasn't perfect but who was also not totally consumed by grief, a dad who smiles. I don't even know what pepito roier will be used to. they knew each other for literally a week.

I think richas might understand it a bit. bad stuff happens and then everything sucks for a while but you put on a smile and you pretend until the smile no longer feels like a lie, even to yourself. maybe he thinks this is what roier is doing. maybe as far as he knows, there's nothing to get used to.

same for leo and everyone else. this is just normal. roier cubito gets bad, and then he gets worse, and he doesn't talk about it, but eventually he starts at least looking better again. everyone's weird right now and all over the place and busy trying to figure out what to do with the new start. maybe he might mention something to leo, but cellbit's back. maybe he's talking with him. the weird will go away eventually.

doied is good at this. he's been watching roier since probably before the start. the weird is barely noticeable even when you know to go looking for it, and no one knows to go looking for it. those who do can't because the knowledge would be shattering.

roier's gonna know, though, when he gets back. he's gonna know there was something to go looking for because he was stuck waiting as the something to be found. even if he knows how good at it doied is, it's probably hard to not at least wonder why no one else thought to look into the weird. why no one followed its trail of crumbs and found their way back to him

#qsmp #roier #speaking #i wrote up two whole posts thinking about what lunari wrote #was gonna wait to post in the morning but if i wait that long i'm gonna keep thinking that long and i've already thought enough #shaking roier cubito by the shoulders WHERE ARE YOUUUUUU #COME BACK! #posts from me for me

You play visual novel! Can you give me recommendation? I just started playing them and I'm looking for good once

Haha, yeah I do. Occasionally, at least.

I really enjoy the "Our Life" games by GBPatch Games - they're probably my all time favourite. Trouble Comes Twice by Foxglove Games, something I played recently, was also really fun.

If you can get your hands on it really dirt cheap, maybe check out Bustafellows. It's not that good, but the art is great and it does have its moments!

Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney is also amazing, if you're into a little law and order gedohns.

If you like Scifi, maybe check out Andromeda Six by Wanderlust Games - also a game I hold really dear - or Infinite Stars.

If you're into vampires, I'd 100% recommend both Vampire The Masquerate - Courteries of New York and Vampire the Masquerade - Shadows of New York. Thinking about it, I should probably replay those...

Fantasy-wise I really enjoyed When The Night Comes by Lunaris Games.

Scarlet Hollow and Slay The Princess by Black Tabby Games are really neat if you're into horror. And Touchstarved by Red Spring Studios is still a Demo for now, but it's already super neat! Oh and XOXO Blood Droplets by GB Patch Games is also fun to play if you like whacky, horror-leaning stuff!

And I guess that's all I have so far! Sorry it's not more, I'm sure you've heard of most of those already. I'm super picky with my visual novels so I don't play a whole lot of them, haha.
