Me, knowing fine rightly that Jayce and Viktor are (and always have been) THEE toxic gay exes of League lore:

Also me, watching s2 ep 6 of Arcane:

[therealneilperry]

What If Jayce saw a terrible future where the Machine Herald goes dark, and so he decides killing Viktor is the only way to solve this, only for Singed to bring Viktor back, causing Viktor to rid himself of his humanity and CAUSING the future Jayce saw rather than avoiding it!

Do you get what I’m saying, the most doomed yaoi of all fucking time!

[rotten-eros]

finally done with this one! with three versions.

as i said in previous post, its based on that soviet poster of "do sports!" since i was painting a bigger work also inspired in jayvik and i thought it fitted them well. spending well the brainrot with digital practice of references. original poster below the cut.

btw, i think jayce has a lot more hair, he just occasionally likes to shave because it feels more "clean" or "professional" /headcanon. its just that i like for the people in my art to still have hair. none is weird.

what if we met when you prevented my suicide attempt and after years of devoted partnership i then return the favor but then you die anyways so i do everything i can to save your life and then i shoot you in the chest with the gun in my big fucking axe

[civil-defivil]

Me looking for my next favorite character when I start a new series/game/comic/etc.

[nightlilly0110]

Jayce: Hey, I know we’re in the middle of a fight right now, but I have an important question.

Viktor: *sighing* Defender, why is it that-

Jayce: Can you run Doom?

Viktor: Yes, actually.

Jayce: Really?!

Viktor: No, you idiot! With what screen?!?!

[simulation-error]

Have we talked about how Viktor tried to make Jayce's 'evolved form' not only unique in design, but also reflective of the patterns seen inside the Herald?

[duhhck]

remember when jayce visited cult viktor and they kissed and made up, that was my favorite scene- WIP

[multifandom-brainrots]

EVEN AFTER EVERYTHING HE STILL HAS THE BLANKET. EVEN AS THE FULLY REALISED MACHINE HERALD. THIS IS A CATEGORY 10 DOOMED YAOI EVENT. I REPEAT WE HAVE A CATEGORY 10 EVERYBODY TAKE COVER

The Machine Herald

im being normal about arcane s2 yall, oh my god. there will likely be spoilers on all my accounts so fairwarned! anyways i love viktor and am very excited to see how they turn him into the machine herald

“I COULD RECOGNISE HIM BY TOUCH ALONE, BY SMELL.”

“I WOULD KNOW HIM BLIND BY THE WAY HIS BREATHS CAME.”

“AND HIS FEET STRUCK THE EARTH.”

“I WOULD KNOW HIM IN DEATH.”

“AT THE END OF THE WORLD.”

“HE IS HALF MY SOUL, AS THE POETS SAY.”

Madeline Miller, 2011, The Song of Achilles

Clips used from Arcane s2 ep 9

I think if Viktor just called Jayce a good boy when he showed up, Jayce would have dropped the hammer and started praying to him.

[therealneilperry]

GUYS STOP THE JAYCE HATE! Everyone’s like “I love doomed narratives” and then when the narrative is doomed yall r hating on one of them?

WRONG! I love when ships are doomed, make em shoot each other, make em kill each other!

Yeah Viktor’s my fav character, yeah I want Jayce to shoot him again!

[rotten-eros]

“In all timelines, in all possibilities, only you can show me this.”

reference down here, i just learnt where this is from lmao (Il Sepolcro Degli Amanti, Roberto Ferri). when i saw this i just couldnt avoid that it was them, bringing four different versions since i wasnt satisfied with the background.

I'm literally so obsessed with the idea of the Heartbreak Incident as part of Doomed By The Narrative(tm) but the difference is that the Heartbreak Incident has already happened. Sidestep (and so many of the others) are doomed not by the future but by the past, which both haunts and doomed the narrative.

This is a story about choice but the inevitable has already happened. You had no choice but to be doomed by the narrative, you have a choice on whether you're doomed again. But no matter what you do, no matter how much you succeed or fail - you were doomed. And that matters. So much that it shapes the behavior of everyone around you.
