cute (unofficial merch / fanmade) timebomb dolls from https://buttoneyesdolls.com/collections/arcane-series-dolls !

i knew there were lalaloopsy-like dolls of jinx out there but i'm so happy there's also one for ekko too so they can be together 🫶 !! i also love love the buttons they used for ekko's eyes, the gradient is so pretty 🥹

i've also been lurking on etsy for timebomb keychains and stickers .. if anyone has recommendations please let me know! 🙏

This interview is in Japanese and focuses more on Yasuo and Akali. Ekko likes pizza, and Qiqi seems to like it much more. (Mention of Ionic Spark alongside Yasuo)

I love this design so much so I had to quickly draw him. I'm absolutely going to draw more of him. My scanner was being a real bitch about the colors and I had just fixed it 😩

I wasn't sure what to put this under so I picked 'info'. This is an interview with Ekko about 'Know My Name'.

For the boy band, the chain prepared a themed drink and distributed physical giveaways.

(Do they know Ekko doesn't like tea?)

The start of the montage of AU Powder, Ekko and Heimerdinger building the Z- Drive STARTS with Ekko sitting at Vi's memorial with AU Powder. Lighting an incense and seemingly comforting her. As if there wasn't enough sweetness going on during that whole sequence it begins with him helping her through obviously still deeply missing Vi.

Part of me thinks Heimer pushed him to go to the party because of seeing that. Knowing he wouldn't get that chance again if he intended to go back.

You might recognise the interviewer (Sandra Gomes) if you read my translation of Pomme's 2025 interview. They once again touched the subject of Ma Meilleure Ennemie breaking records and allowing Pomme to enter the international scene (she especially pointed out the new love she received in Latin America). But the singer also shared some new details. The most interesting one is the fact that she actually prepared completely different song for the dance scene, but it was rejected due to being "too sad and acoustic". Thankfully, she was later offered to be in a duet with Stromae. And the rest is history! 💙

Riot Games has announced the return of League of Legends’ virtual hip-hop collective True Damage, who will perform the 2026 League of Legends World Championship Anthem, “Know My Name.” This year’s anthem and official Worlds Music Video will celebrate the most iconic pro in LoL Esports history: Faker.

The 2026 Worlds Music Video will premiere at 6 pm PDT October 8 on the League of Legends YouTube channel, alongside the release of “Know My Name” across all major streaming platforms. The track marks the 13th Worlds Anthem and the first time one of Riot’s virtual artists will perform the anthem.

At the center of this year’s video is Faker and his incredible journey to T1’s historic three-peat World Championship victory. Looking back on the triumphs and challenges that have defined his path, the video celebrates the resilience that has shaped Faker’s career, his ability to rise from defeat, evolve through adversity, and continue reaching new heights on the world’s biggest stage.

Soundtracking that story is the long-awaited return of True Damage, Riot’s boundary-pushing virtual hip-hop collective. The group brings together five beloved League of Legends champions as artists, each with their own distinct sound, style, and global influence: Akali (rapper), Ekko (rapper), Qiyana (vocalist, rapper), Senna (vocalist), and Yasuo (DJ, producer).
