“Only Andrew saw the strain in Neil’s mask”

And We’ll Be Running by @littlespooneven (here’s the tumblr link too)

“It had been six months ago when Kevin called him, sounding drunk off his ass and on the verge of a breakdown, begging Neil for help. Andrew Minyard, guitarist for The Monsters, had been assaulted by his old foster brother and it finally convinced the courts to take him off the mood altering medication he’d been taking since almost two years prior after an incident where he’d defended his cousin from a bunch of homophobic assholes outside a club.

At the time, he’d had nothing else going for him so he said yes. It was just meant to be something to do for a few months. Now, well, he doesn’t really want to leave.”

omg so over the weekend i read this wonderful band au fic and died and y’all should read it bc i’ve been thinking about it ever since

my piece for the @weddingvowszine! this was so fun to do, i’m glad i got to be a part of it~

I wanted to like do a pic for Neil’s eyebrows/eyes and then felt meh about it and didn’t know what else to do with it, so I just kept it in a folder for like a month. but here, I give it to you all~

Quick it’s been a whole 3 updates without Lux getting a skin! Make her a D&D build instead!

Jokes aside (which are actually inaccurate since Ezreal currently has the most skins but…) I’ve been having a blast playing Lux personally in soloqueue. Along with the fact that she is practically the poster child for both Demacia as a Region and League of Legends as a game it’s only fair to make a build for her.

This build is going to give me some sort of terminal illness though because I get to make a full level 20 build in one of my infamously most despised classes to build characters with.

GOALS

Illuminate the enemy - Lux is a light mage, so we’ll need a whole lotta light spells. Light Cleric? Nooo that’s crazy talk.

We can do this - Unlike most full AP “supports” Lux actually has a shield, which at least gives her more to do than just steal kills.

The superior tactic is to never give up - Lux also has a good amount of CC in her kit with Slows and Roots. And the laser; can’t forget the laser.

RACE

You may be surprised to hear that Lux is a human, and unlike most magic humans where I make some excuse to use the Eberron Dragonmarks this time Lux will actually just be a plain old Variant Human! Variant Humans get an increase in two Ability Scores of their choice: Intelligence and Wisdom will let you focus on the tactics, focus on the enemy, and focus on the battle. You also get a skill of your choice like Deception to hide any secrets you may have, and a language where we always pick Celestial for the Demacian good girls.

Of course the main feat of Variant Humans is their ability to get a Feat at level 1. The little light needs a single spark so Magic Initiate will give you that spark! Go into Cleric to get a Lucent Singularity in the form of Sacred Flame, and while you could grab Word of Radiance for a close-ranged burst of light I’d instead suggest Guidance: magic can be used for protection or harm. For your first level spell Shield of Faith will let you throw out your wand to shield your allies. Sure there are probably stronger spells to pick but this is the most in-character.

NOTE: If you want a stronger build with less Radiant damage Resilient (Constitution) or War Caster are very good picks to keep Concentration spells up.

ABILITY SCORES

15; INTELLIGENCE - Lux is a master of superior tactics. That is to say that this isn’t a Cleric build.

14; DEXTERITY - For once this isn’t “something something Medium Armor” but rather that I’d just like to have AC that’s not godawful?

13; WISDOM - In part so that Magic Initiate isn’t terrible, in part so we can see the truth in people.

12; CONSTITUTION - I have no reason for this other than “it’s nice to not have completely godawful health?

10; CHARISMA - There has to be some reason Lux is getting all those skins but ultimately we need other stats more.

8; STRENGTH - You’ve got a big brother to do the heavy lifting. It’s your job to keep smiling!

BACKGROUND

Lux is many things depending on what skin you decide to wear, but officially she’s a Noble of the Crownguard family. As a noble you get proficiency in History and Persuasion as well as a gaming set of your choice. (Lux seems the type for chess? So choose a Dragonchess set unless your DM allows Tellstones instead.) You also get a language proficiency of your choice so pick whatever your ADC will understand. Unfortunately Giant Ape isn’t an option.

As a Noble you have a Position of Privilege. You are welcome in high society, and people assume you have the right to be in suspicious places. Commoners make every effort to accommodate you and other nobles treat you with respect. And if you need to you can have a meeting arranged to meet the local nobles.

I’m so sorry

This…this is so dumb. It makes me so happy. 

This is the best thing I’ve ever done. 

I dim the lights remotely as we hear Kristen Stewart say, “I'd never given much thought to how I would die...”

Too late, they realise.

The pregnancy? A scam.

All of the Twilight movies? Lined up.

The doors? Locked.
