MelWeek 2025 ✦ @melmedardaweek.bsky.social · Aug 29

What a wonderful week of celebrating Mel Medarda. Thank you to everyone who participated! Feel free to stick around until next year or follow our future projects to get a glimpse of Mel in other contexts.🧡

Thank you for appreciating Mel,

This marks the end of our wonderful Mel Medarda appreciation week. We are thankful for every contribution and happy that this week that was meant to uplift and celebrate an often under-appreciated character succeeded greatly at doing so. The love and appreciation for Mel is there! Which also means that this won't be the last you will have heard of us.
We were more than happy to organize this fan week for our favorite councilwoman-gone-mage and we will be returning for more Mel appreciation next year. So stick around if you don't want to miss out on future announcements. If patience isn't your virtue and you're eager for more Mel related events as soon as possible, you are welcome to join our onlymeljay Discord Server. We are currently working on more weeks and events

(such as the Meljay Fall In Love Week) so we as organizers will definitely be sticking around for a while!

Thank you to everyone and have fun using your bonus day for prompts you might have missed out on!

Our AO3 collection will remain open for two more weeks so late additions can be approved by us until September 12th.

Happy Mel week because every week is Mel week to us! ♥

It’s a #melweek miracle 🌟 my commission arrived just in time for the celebration! If you’re looking for an artist, Keyx still has a few commission slots left open too 👀

First commission of the batch! A fully rendered #melmedarda icon for @armoralor.bsky.social! As always, she was a joy to draw 💖

#arcane #art #artcommissions

Icon of Mel Medarda from Arcane Season 2. She has just awakened her mage powers and thus the gold mark on her face have fully appeared. He head is lightly tilted towards her left hand side, and she's looking behind herself, as if she was alerted by something.

Mel Week Day Four: Sensation - Era of Magic.

High Fantasy AU where Jayce was once an apprenticing blacksmith, but is almost exiled after being accused of magic. Queen Mel Medarda saves him, but requests he works at the castle from now on #arcane #melweek #melweek2025 #melmedarda #jaycetalis #meljay

An meljay edit meant to represent Mel Medarda and Jayce Talis. The background is a hunter green colour and layered over top are two photographs. One is of a man wearing full plate armour, such as knights used to. Next and slightly above is a second image of a darkskin Black women wearing a jeweled blue dress, she's looking off to the side towards the man in armour longingly, the tips of her fingers tinged with darkness as if she recently used magic. Text on the edit reads: "First of Her Name, Queen Mel Medarda" and "Hand of The Queen, Sir Talis."

Mel Week Day 5: Correspondent - Youth / Exile.

Do you remember the last time you slept in your childhood bed? The last time your father tucked you in? Your brother read you a story? Your mother hugged you back? When did you realize it wouldn't happen again? #arcane #melmedarda #melweek #melweek2025

A photo collage edit meant to represent young Mel Medarda in Noxus.The background image is of a rocky shore, similar to the one we see in the Welcome to Noxus Bite Marks music video. Four additional pictures are layered over top, including one of a young Black girl with her back to the camera as she stands in a library browsing books. Next to her is a photo of a high cathedral ceiling, scrap paper, and Mel's painting of Noxus.

Mel Week Day Three: Hook - Vulnerability.

Don't let all that poise and elegance fool you, the refined Mel Medarda get's her strength from the size of her heart and the love it contains. Art commissioned from @hexffection.bsky.social 💘 #arcane #melmedarda #melweek #melweek2025

Chibi art of Mel Medarda from Arcane season one. She is wearing her iconic white dress and has her hair up in braids, gold accents everywhere. She is making a little heart symbol with her hands and winking.

#MelWeek
Day 2: Luxury
Here’s my man Mel Medarda from my fic, A Timely Manner. Though this would have been a picture he’d have taken before the events of that story. The cover version of this would say something like ‘The Man Made of Pure Gold.’ (Have the sketch as a treat)

A drawing of the gender swap version of Mel. He’s on a duck blue background, his signature on either side of him. He’s posing with his body to the side and his head tilted toward the viewer. He’s wearing two ear piercings, a lip piercing, black sunglasses, light blue necklace, white shirt, black belt, dark grey pants, gold watch, and gold boots. He’s also got a black leather jacket over his far shoulder and a golden ticket in his near hand.

The sketch version of gender swap Mel. Not colored.

The embodiment of beauty, Mel Medarda indulges herself with a portrait that illustrates her new pink gown 💫

#melmedarda #arcane #arcaneart

Portrait of Mel from Arcane. She lays back on a green chaise longue, wrapped in a light blue shawl and wearing a pink dress that has dropped shoulders. Mel wears her hair in two buns and wears gold earrings and a gold necklace. She has a content expression and the stirrings of a smile.
