100 things stolen from Bloodborg to make Arcane.

Please note, this is just a quickfire list of only 100 things out of thousands. Bloodborg has 6 interweaved POVs and a bunch of sub POVs. Thus when I say a character was taken from my POVs, I mean that Riot took the whole POV narrative and forced their cardboard characters into my trauma writing. This is why Arcane has essentially retconned all of the characters, who already had different backstories, personalities and so on. Some, like Viktor and Warwick, are so different that they are almost unrecognisable to the originals. Indeed, both of these characters have now been made into Bloodborgs.

1. Vi was taken directly from Rook’s POV.

2. Vander was taken from Warrick’s POV.

3. Caitlyn Kiramman from Josh’s POV.

4. Ambessa and Mel were taken from Neva and the white eyed child’s POV.

This equates to psychological and emotional abuse and violations. It’s criminal, and Riot will pay for these crimes.
