i'd guess it's different for every person, and also difficult to make it not philosophical. for me it's accumulating in good experiences while also helping others have a good experience.
this lends to then some pretty fun things like doing things for the sake of it if it means it's that temporary fun for you or someone else. I've noticed it's also helped me just get out and do more things i otherwise wouldn't have done. i compliment people on their outfit and i like how they smile because of it, i interact with my favourite people online because i know how it feels when someone does it to me.
then the little routinary bits in between is like a soft landing. the spontaneity of doing things for the sake of it can get overwhelming, but it's a comfort when sandwiched between things you can expect.
other than that i'm not so sure. life is dull when there are no others around to light up the room - i suppose the best thing to be is being a light to someone else.
Hello,
I know it’s been an extremely long while but um there is a question that has been haunting me for the past few months and that is
What is the purpose of living? And I don’t ask to draw out a philosophical answer, I want to know an actual, real world answer to what js the purpose to this everyday toil and the routine of following the same tasks everyday with some exceptions.
Do help me with the answer or your opinions , anything really. (Also I apologise for this post to look like an official email, apparently that’s all that I have been writing these days lol)
imho the fandom has always assumed jayce would sell viktor out for 1 cornchip or projected gleeful violence into his actions in a way that simply isn't true. "Jayce is going to exile viktor" "Jayce is going to stand with the piltover occupation and hunt viktor down" "Jayce is going to betray viktor" -- I really don't understand the thought process here and why this take is so popular.
The guy who kicked out the president so viktor could do black magic is going to turn on him? The guy who negotiated for the independence of Zaun after ONE WEEK of seeing corruption games play out is going to exile his partner of god knows how many years????????
The guy who literally tells silco "I am trying to save your people from annihilation" is the all-evil monster lurking in the shadows? let's take a minute to unpack. We didn't watch the same show
Just heard someone call Silco "World's okayest dad" and I nearly choked on my coffee
stared a bit too long at the piltover academy uniforms and decided to sketch my oc some of her own (in my head the left is when she's fresh in the academy and the one to the right is when she's sick of it all 😭)
still not over the random ass flaps in the actual uniform
Everyone always says silco looks like a rat but I've always thought he looked like a fish?
Like he has that dejected look, downturned mouth, long nose, wide oddly colored unblinking eye, dunkleosteus teeth, and he loves water. He also circles Marcus like a shark.
Don't tell me this doesn't look like an actual fish
Also not silco related but I'm now realizing how stupid most fish look now I can't look at one without smirking, like just imagine if a person looked at you like that
yall ever write smut, stop midway, and have to reassess the trajectory of your life, then proceed to write
to me it sound like 'nghh?' [one side of the face is pulled up in confusion] [head tilt] [brow slightly furrowed]
One of these is accurate for me, plz tell me I'm not alone
Thinking about how Vander and Silco complete each other...
Where Vander lacks physical affection for his kids, Silco gives too much of it.
Where Silco doesn't let his daughter be independent enough, Vander enforces his daughter being so independent she is the one in charge of her siblings.
Where Vander teaches kindness and peace, Silco teaches war and rebellion.
Where Vander makes Zaun slowly die, though have a community, Silco makes Zaun thrive economically but puts people against each other.
They are parallels but foils.
reddit woulda loved silco's stories
How to deal with an abusive ex, slice him, kidnap him, kill his best friend, stab him twice, steal his daughter, retake your old home, have your new boyfriend turn him into a dog "I will show you what you are"
r/prorevenge at it's best
Least favorite character by favorite poll results
whenever i look at my cat when he's asleep or hear him purring so loud, i just completely understand silco. like what do you mean youve committed crimes baby you're literally perfect muah
this reminds me of when my class was analysing this poem.
professor: What do you think Thomas meant by "Do not go gentle into that good night"?
classmate: rage and thrash, death shouldn't hold you back from being horrifically determined to be slay right down to your last seconds
professor: interesting... but sure, yes.
we quoted him so much after that. he's so right, we should be horrifically determined to be slay to our very last breath.
day 4, shimmer.
posting it here cuz it flunked on Twitter 😢😢

As a writer I hate it when people get so perfect with grammar and sentence structures. My personal opinion is if it follows the rules of language enough to where you can clearly understand what the person is trying to say it’s perfect. Language was created to communicate and express ideas, not restrict us. I was so bugged when Stephen King in his book On Writing said it was weaker or worse to say: ‘“He jumped!” he exclaimed.’ Then to say ‘“He jumped!” he said.’. It was just such a nit-picky thing to say. Language was made to express yourself but people judge certain ways of speaking/writing for no valid reason. Say everything other than said, say said as well, say whatever you want! Language is a tool not a barrier. Language is one of the greatest inventions in history, you should not be scared to mess up in it or to be judged for your words. Say stuff in weird ways! Say words from hundreds of years ago! All that matters is you are understood. That is the only rule that should matter. Never be scared to say funky things. If you are judged then ignore them. If you are understood and happy with the words you choose then nothing else should be of importance. Love language.
dni: incurious souls
I think the funniest fact is that Arcane was written all at once and then split into two seasons. They never wrote a second script. This means even if fans had some “requests” after the first season, it doesn't matter because everything was thought out from the beginning and nothing will be changed.
singed & viktor
you know what i absolutely love? the parallels between singed and viktor.
obv viktor's from zaun, singed from topside, both very very intelligent (more than the people around can cope with oops), and they find themselves living on the other side (singed moves to zaun where the ethical restrictions are... well, there are no ethical restrictions / and viktor moves to topside for the academy).
then their respective works completely change that place (singed's shimmer and viktor's hextech (yesyes he co-made it but that's besides the point, he was pivotal to it is what i mean)) to the point where it becomes a defining feature of that place (it's difficult to divorce the idea of zaun from shimmer, likewise for piltover and hextech).
ofc their motivations are completely different. viktor has his Help The Undercity thing going on, while singed appears to be mainly self-serving (as in, he does his shit if he wants to, bro just wants to fuck around). buuuut also what if their arcs may also parallel? (enter: delusions) what if in s2 singed's goal becomes to help people/a person, and viktor leans more self-serving? (idk abt the latter, his conviction about helping ppl is very strong) or maybe viktor's so way in over his head (i feel it's a bit unlikely) or the arcane somehow does that for him?? idk i'm spitballing
what is up with all these challenges that come up around october? isn't living a challenge already
I don't want to laugh at Sevika's plight but it's FUNNY.
Because imagine she met Silco and thought: "Hey, here's a guy who looks like he definitely won't take in 4 orphans, much less 1, so he can truly focus on our goal!!" Only for her to wake up—after sacrificing her whole ass arm—to her new boss havong already signed adoption papers for not just any kid, but one of Vander's brats AND the same urchin responsible for her loss of limb💀💀
To add insult to injury, that child, in turn, would grow up to be more of a thorn on the ass and dignity for Sevika rather than to the alleged father.
Arcane Survey!!
Hi everyone, I'm doing a research for my college social studies class on the social differences seen in Arcane (specifically, between Piltover and Zaun). Regardless of your opinion on the show, I would appreciate it if you could complete this survey to help with my research!
What is the research about?
It explores how the fandom perceives the social divide between the two cities and the characters whose ideals are a reflection of their upbringing and home. The research focuses on both sides of the issue without any bias.
Any and all opinions are welcome and appreciated.
Furthermore
The survey is completely anonymous. You won't be asked for your name, email address or location at any point. There is a question regarding your age range, but it's completely optional and you can skip it if you choose.
If you'd like to support my research, please follow the link below:
Reblogs, comments and any feedback in general is greatly appreciated~
