Everyone (including me) going crazy over the (un?)doomed yaoi, canon Yuri and doomed straights is cool and all but
CAN WE AGREE THESE TWO WERE THE REAL MVPS ???
we finish this together
Expanding on the below concepts from a dream I had last September
Ig I’m headed towards a haunted/manifestation of guilt idea hmm
Somewhere, far away from Piltover đź’•
Does anyone else think about how Vi said "All us fissure folk can do it" when she was talking about parkour and telling Caitlyn to blend in or she'd look like an outsider and then we see Viktor's flashback and he can't.
His disability makes him an outsider within Zaun.
I've seen people make analyses that he assumed people weren't interested in him because of his disability. But that specific line literally poses that he was an outsider even within his own group. It wasn't an assumption, it would have actively put him at RISK even.
Like his loneliness and isolation isn't just about internalized ableism. It's about EXILE. I would almost imagine it was easier to go to Piltover where at least he knows he "doesn't belong" and it's not his people. Imagine trying to be okay with the fact his own group thinks of him as someone who doesn't belong and shouldn't be trusted. But I don't actually believe that the writer's knew that they were implying all of this this when they wrote it.
over winter break i started making these silly (stupid) arcane comics and ive decided im going to finish them

stealing this from @godsplatter but. Jayce & Viktor's dream butterfly. their dream.
Why can’t we just stay right here?
Everything between Jayce and Viktor can really be traced back to their childhood inciting incidents and it’s killing me.
Jayce: a miracle saves him and his mom, forever imprinting him with the certainty that miracles do exist, they can be controlled, he can save his loved ones no matter how awful things get, if he can just be smart and bold and quick enough.
Viktor: he saw the horror of what Singed had done—of forcing a creature to live against its will, of the degradation and terror of being fundamentally changed. For a while he thought he understood Singed, when he decided that he was willing to throw away all his principles to survive his own body. But he didn’t, really. He didn’t understand. There was still a line he would not cross. He wanted to die human.
It’s fitting, then, and unspeakably tragic, that Jayce is the one who played Singed’s role in the end. Because you can’t ask Jayce to let a loved one go, when he knows there’s a miracle that can save him, the solution is right there, it will work if you will just let him try—and so he forces a change onto Viktor against his will. He traps him into the Arcane, takes apart and reassembles his body, strips him of his selfhood and humanity. All so that Viktor will live. Singed wasn’t talking about the desperation not to die—he was talking about the desperation not to lose someone you love.
And so Viktor is…changed. He lives, whether he wants to or not.
And so Jayce loses him anyway.
