So: for LoL, which storyline is your favorite? And if you were to decide, what direction would you take it?

I mean, my favourite story set in any League of Legends thing by far is Arcane, but I suspect that's not quite what you mean.

Second to that is Ashe and Sejuani, specifically as their relationship is told in the Ashe: Warmother comic. It's a comic about the ways in which their relationships with their mothers shape them into the people they become - both of them consciously rejecting their mothers' legacies, and yet both of them utterly reflective of them.

Like, Ashe's mother Grena is this unflinching visionary, utterly possessed by a dream of ancient legacies, who is at once incredibly powerful and willing to sacrifice any number of lives for her vision, but also vulnerable, flawed and terrified of what her leadership will do both to her tribe and to her daughter.

And you see those qualities emerge in Ashe as she determines to become the protector of the weak in the Freljord, the champion of the Hearthbound and the vulnerable. She inherits Grena's steel-edged will and dedication to a vision of the future, even as she tries over and over again to reject her mother's obsession with ancient glories and mystical names.

Sejuani on the other hand is raised by... well, by a bitter, abusive drunk who sees her as nothing but a signifier of her own regrets and failures, and who projects all her own insecurities and weaknesses onto her child.

And Sejuani grows up both resentfully rejecting all the insecurity and pain her mother has been beating into her, but also inherits her mother's brutality and willingness to see the human beings under her command as disposable objects whose worth is measured in utility.

They are two reflections, two shadows of their mothers, and of the relationship they had to them, sisters by mutual choice and love, who are brought into conflict because their traumas have shaped them in irreconcilably different ways.

It is ENORMOUSLY compelling as a narrative about siblings, and as a framing device for the conflict in the Freljord - especially with Lissandra spooking around in the background as a universal mother-figure for the region, who in turn has her own traumas about being alienated from her sisters in ways that are similar to how Ashe and Sejuani were split apart.

The Freljord sometimes runs the risk of devolving into pop culture viking stereotypes and high fantasy pagan god nonsense (/affectionate, I love Ornn so much), but Ashe and Sejuani and their estrangement, especially as presented in Warmother, brings the thematic core of the region back down to some extremely fundamental questions about how to survive in an abusive environment - whether it be a harsh winter, or a broken family.

Warmother is a fantastic comic, everyone should read it (the art by Nina Vakueva absolutely fucks, and the approach to character design is strong as hell), and it breaks my heart that Riot's management couldn't keep their shit together with Marvel for long enough for it to get any kind of a sequel.

Chapter 1 of my Ashe x Sejuani fanfic is finally completed. Please check it out and review/reblog. I’d appreciate it! I had a lot of fun writing this and only at the last minute panicked when I realize I didn’t have a title. After several Nordic song playlists later, came up with this title. Whoever read it, I hope you enjoy!

"You can't leave without letting me hug you first" for Morgana, Kai'sa and Sejuani, please?

Of course of course!

Would be delighted to. Hope this is fine!

YOU CAN'T LEAVE WITHOUT LETTING ME HUG YOU FIRST

Morning came too fast and soon you both would leave the bed;the warm furry covers and the body of your lover. Sejuani was the first to leave the bed, leaving a trail of cold from the moved covers. She was fast on her feet, despite the temperature. She wore her clothes and tied  her hair. You watched her for a brief moment, admiring the strong physique of the woman of your heart before leaving the bed yourself. She was ready to leave when your voice halted her step. -You can't leave without letting me hug you first- You opened your arms. -Heh, you sure are a softie- Sejuani embraced you before leaving to take care of Bristle.

A smooth,motherly like voice stopped you from leaving the cave Morgana was resting in. The lady opened her arms with a small smile on her face. -You can't leave without letting me hug you first- Your heart melted and turned back to her. She wrapped her arms around you. Her wings followed after;not too tight around you to let you breathe. Her scent was soothing and now you didn't want to leave the hug anytime soon. -I'll be back shortly, I promise you- You begrudgingly left her arms. -Have a safe journey- You waved at her;stepping out into the morning sun.

-You can't leave without letting me hug you first- You said to her as she looked down to a corridor opened by a void creature. -You talk like I'm about to die- Kai'sa tried to ease the tension between you too;sighing when she felt her suit react at the vicinity to the corridor. -What if you do.What if you never come back- The woman frowned. You were about to give up when she hugged you tightly;resting her head on your shoulder briefly. -It's not the first time I venture there. I'll come back to you- Your arms held her close just a little bit longer before she could step out. The two of you exchanged a last affectionate look before she let herself fall. You watched her descend with hope in your heart.

Can I request Sejuani, Jinx and Zeri (all from PROJECT verse) with sniper S/O?

Sure can 🩷

Zeri

She's so hyped to have you

She may be too eager to get in everyone's faces during battle

So having a cute sniper covering her back makes her feel safe

After you're done fighting will kiss you all over your face

Loves you so much she starts short circuiting everytime you return her kisses

Sejuani

(there's no GIFs for PROJECT Sejuani I'm sorry)

No matter how away you are, she's always keeping an eye on you

An enemy is too close to you?

Bristle's already trampling over them

Will protect you at all costs

After battle will check you for injuries

And let you come back to the base on Bristle if you're tired

Jinx

(same with Jinx)

You just wanna stay far away? Lameee

But she still loves you

No matter how lame you are

So will shoot anyone withing a five foot radius

Loves cuddling with you after fighting

Will say that you're a cutie

Just to make you blush

Building a Better Ashe

About a year ago I took a pass at redesigning Ashe the Frost Archer from League of Legends with the help of Ainsworth "Apple_Cork" Lin (https://www.instagram.com/apple_cork/ || https://linktr.ee/apple_cork) who I commissioned for the artwork.

We took Ashe through a number of ideations and various approaches to her character design, which you'll find below the Read More cutoff.

If you want to watch the video version of our design process (it's pretty good!) you can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fi5fuv1nLs

Goals:

The goal was to create a version of Ashe that puts less priority of simply making her "appealing" or look pretty, and more on doing storytelling for the kind of role she plays in the story of the Freljord.

Ashe as she exists now is basically a riff on the Drow Ranger from Dota, complete with WarCraft 3 style Hot Elven Ranger getup. She's a queen of the frozen north, but she runs around in a miniskirt, thigh-highs and a paper-thin cloak because

this design was originally put together to be running around sunny Elven forests on Azeroth, and got interpolated through Dota into League of Legends without ever really reconsidering the concept

it was designed for League of Legends at a time when worldbuilding and character storytelling simply were not priorities in their character design - characters were broad recognizable fantasy archetypes being thrown together Smash Bros style for a fighting tournament

Late 2000s high fantasy character design in gaming had a default preference for Sexy Cleavage Babes for female character design that permeated the entire design space, especially at Blizzard, whose influence formed the basis for League of Legends

Over a decade later, Ashe has been fleshed out as much more of a real character, with a place and role in the world and cosmology of the Freljord far beyond her original archetype. Now she is specifically constructed as a counterpart to Lissandra's imperious, manipulative, sovereign mysticism and to Sejuani's martial brutality. The Avarosa are the only faction in the Freljord (and one of the very few in Runeterra) who argue explicitly for a softer life with less violence and struggle as the ideal. Ashe wants to reform and abolish the blood-soaked warrior culture of the Freljord and replace it with communal mutual aid and sharing, with tribes pooling their collective resources rather than relying on constant raiding and warfare. She's also a notable champion of the Hearthbound, the "normal" people of the Freljord who are not blessed with Iceborn blood or noble lineages.

The Avarosa have successfully recruited a huge swath of tribes to their cause, and through collaboration and a focus on agriculture and mutual protection have become the breadbasket of the Freljord, able to extend their political reach simply by offering new tribes access to reliable sources of food.

The power and rhetoric of the Avarosa thus rests on

A rejection of martial warrior culture in favor of a culture of nurturing and mutual care

Embrace of vulnerability and "weakness"

The promise of plenty, of full food stores and protection from failed harvests and the bitter winter cold

So, the design goals are:

Contrast Ashe visually with both Lissandra and especially with Sejuani, who is her most direct opposite.

Tell the story not only of Ashe herself, but of the faction she represents, and represent its values in her design.

Make her unique and recognizable against the lineup of other League of Legends characters in a way that currently she simply isn't.

Early ideation:

Here we start by identifying silhouettes and the basic ideas of costuming that we want to run with. Since League of Legends women also generally have a bad case of Chronic Sameface Syndrome, we also explore a bunch of different face shapes and ideas for distinguishing Ashe physically outside of costuming and body shape.

Refinement:

We pick out a smaller number of variations to play with, and Apple_Cork explores various options for the costuming.

At this point we've settled on two main ideas: a "Warrior" Ashe, who is characterized by the hard life she's had to lead. Her struggles and suffering, especially the loss of her mother and the betrayal of Sejuani, are the emotional impetus that leads to her reaching the ideals of the Avarosans as an antidote to and rebellion against the Freljord's bloody history. We decide to use the A2 and A3 variation as a base for this, with addition of details like scarring and a somewhat bulkier musculature. This runs the risk of making her physically quite similar to Sejuani, which is a trade-off that might be worth it since the two of them are repeatedly positioned as sisters (even if not by blood) in their stories, and are very alike in their experiences and traumas, even if they've reached opposite conclusions from it.

The other idea is "Warmother Ashe." The Freljord is organized around matrilineal tribal leadership, with a significant emphasis on the social role of motherhood, with the leader of the tribe conceptualized as its primary mother figure. Most Warmothers we've known are hard-bitten, violent and domineering matriarchs, emphasizing the war bit of the name, and since Ashe represents a decisive break with that tradition, we want to create a design that puts emphasis on the mother part of the idea.

So an Ashe who is visually soft, associated with typical traits of nurturing motherhood and who visibly rejects struggle, deprivation and violence as part of her identity. The C1 and C2 variations form the basis for this character.

Both designs are intended to provide a strong visual contrast to the stark black-and-blue statuesque angularity of Lissandra, as well as the armored, hard-shelled, segmented look of Sejuani

A note on body politics and character design

It is generally Problematic™ to equate any one body type with any one set of personality traits, whether positively or negatively. A lot of common character design associations and shorthand is based on body stereotypes, and on a systemic scale, they can reinforce existing social bigotries.

The most common example: character design often employ the idea that good people tend to be beautiful and evil people tend to be ugly, and that a person's inner moral character can be read in their physical traits.

This is a trope with an extremely bad history, especially when it intersects with the politics of beauty, with eugenics and with racial caricature. Whiteness and the constructed features of whiteness are often used as the basis of beauty ideals, while traits and features associated with non-whiteness are considered ugly or undesirable, and thus in visual storytelling these traits can become markers of moral degeneracy or evil. Disney villains do this all the time, to various degrees of Problematicness.

I bring this up here because we decided to use a fat body-type on one of our Ashe designs specifically to code the design to be associated with softness, kindness, motherly nurturing and so on. These are positive traits, and it is meant to establish her as a contrast with Sejuani who is hard-edged, muscled and brutal. But also, yeah, fat bodies being associated with those traits is a reductive stereotype, just the same as associating highly trained, skinny and fit bodies with emotional coldness, lack of kindness and violence is reductive.

Character design is a tightrope walk between using available associations and stereotypes to create coding and shorthand so the audience can easily read the design on the one hand, and trying to redefine and re-associate traits in creative ways to create better storytelling on the other hand. League of Legends is a game that relies very, very heavily on existing and known archetypes, and we redesigned Ashe on those terms as well. It is fair to criticize our redesign for those trade-offs, within reason, and within the context of the problems of the design it is intended to improve upon. League of Legends as a franchise is generally unwilling to allow fat bodies to exist in ANY positive context, and especially not in women, whose visual priority 9 times out of 10 is to be conventionally beautiful and skinny above all else.

Final designs:

Warrior Ashe This design hews closer to her original design, employing the skirt, waist-wrap and thigh-high boots, albeit updated to look more appropriate for the fashion culture and environment of the Freljord.

The emphasis here is on Ashe as a war-leader and fighter, and we've added facial scars and her design generally features more hard and sharp lines and metallic accents to give her a more hard-bitten and warlike look. This is an Ashe who has led a heard and difficult life, marked by fighting and struggle.

Warmother Ashe This design pulls away hard from the original design, with only really the hood and cloak and white hair as identifying feature of the old version. She wears a lot of fabrics and furs, and is generally designed around stoutness and visual softness, and does not share the hardness or angular facial features of Warrior Ashe. Her clothes are finely embroidered with her tribe's iconography and she has pendants and trinkets associated with the various tribes that have been integrated into the Avarosa, or perhaps gifted to her by allies or friends.

She still has leather chest armor, albeit covered up by her cloak, and a shoulder pauldron, but it's ringed by fine feathers making it more of a showpiece. Same with the archery bracer, which is ostentatious and the bright brass makes it contrast with the rest of the design, which is meant to give the vibe of "this is a thing she puts on when necessary" but not a natural, integrated part of her fashion. Compare and contrast with the bracers on Warrior Ashe above.

Sylas x Sejuani headcanons if you know about their lore

Hey thank u for requesting! I really like Sejuani so I hope you like this!

Also since you didn't specify if you wanted it to be SFW or NSFW, I'll stick to SFW, but I do have some NSFW ideas I might post later

I can only imagine how Sejuani felt when Thorva brought Sylas to the tribe talking about the will of the gods and everything

Like Vrynna, knowing he had proved himself, she would accept his stay and help but absolutely would not trust him. She didn't become such strong Warmother for being a fool, and she'd know Sylas is the same, but they respect each other very much

They both have their respect goals and people they'd die for, and they know how that feels

Sylas is incredibly intelligent so he would pick up on their language quickly, which would please Sejuani

Despite holding figurative knifes behind each other's backs even in bed, their sexual attraction is ridiculous

Sylas is a gorgeous man as much as Sejuani is a gorgeous woman, so it wouldn't take long for her to take him to bed

(He would absolutely belive he had conquered the Warmother, while Sejuani is very aware of who she's taking to bed, which honestly make their affairs even more intense)

I truly believe he would still have a casual relationship with Thorva (their flirting was so clear lol) and Sejuani would not be bothered by it in the beginning because what they have in purely carnal. Same thing for Sejuani if she wants to have a relationship with someone else, though that is a little harder for her as the tribe's leader

Despite not hiding their admiration for each other, they wouldn't actually say how much they began to admire the other one. Both incredible strong, clever and cunning, they can recognize and admire the raw power and leadership both possess

I think that would also be a little bit of a problem, because I think they are too much alike when it comes to those things. They're so both very headstrong and that can't possibly end well

After a while Sylas would for sure be a little bit of a safe haven for Sejuani. He obeys her because they have a mutual understanding not because he needs her or because she is the Warmother, which makes him someone easier to talk to

Sylas would do his best to keep a wall around himself when it comes to Sejuani but long nights awake laying down in her tent, whispering to each other would make it a little hard to him

They wouldn't have a committed relationship but their admiration and closeness would make them very fond of each other, though they both live for their respective people/cause, and they're aware of that

(That is one of the things they admire in each other)

Hello. Can I request headcanons of Zyra, Elise and Sejuani (if you writing about them) from LoL having S/O, who is very good at stealing various things?

Of course I will do that!

I have to admit they may be a bit cluncky at first? I'm not used to write for LoL characters so I still have a lot to learn.

I jope it will be of your liking!

SEJUANI,ZYRA AND ELISE WITH A S/O GOOD AT STEALING THINGS

-As someone with the idea that only the strong can survived the rigid Freljord Sejuani is pleased by this ability of yours.

-Often jokes with you behind close doors about you being able to steal anything. She Would ask you to steal Ornn's cauldron at some point. You weren't sure if she was joking or not.

-She dares you to try steal from her wich you never do out of respect and love.

-Sometimes you steal food for Bristles.

-This malicious lady finds interesting that you can get whatever you want without people noticing.

-Is amused by the fact that you would even steal plants for her.

-She has a goal. A dream of enveloping everything in plants so she will make sure to use your skill to her advantage. She wonders if you can steal machinery or magic instruments to make her plants grow stronger and faster.

-As an ex-Noxus noble and part of the Black Rose Elise likes this skill of yours as she was used to use her charm to "steal" people's consent and much more.

-Now that is a spider queen she still thinks this can be useful for survival so she won't stop you.

-Very happy if you get something for her. This lady likes to be lavished with nice things. She might just do the same for you.
