#SO MANY THOUGHTS ABOUT THEM

How its going!!

hello again proseka tumblr i offer you the scrunklies

[ellenchain]

I love the way you depict post-canon Jayce and Viktor in your comic! The faint hints of purple and…ethereal(? what do you call shimmering galaxy skin tones??) on parts of Viktor’s body and Jayce’s wrist are soooo good, and ofc I wholeheartedly believe Jayce should always keep his beautiful handmade (literally! Ha!) circlet design and the psychic connection it enables.

I’ve seen so many post-canon designs where they just go back to their entirely human bodies, or at least an earlier version of Viktor’s mechanical evolution, and I think that’s so lame visually AND thematically. S2 gave them so many new visual elements (that they earned through extreme pain and effort and love!) that fans can mix and match, and instead people choose to simply give them the ol’ factory reset??

Thank you very much! I'm glad you like the way I portray them! ❤️

Okay long answer ahead, sorry in advance

I honestly had a few trial runs where their bodies looked different. Viktor especially, as I wasn't sure how the rune affected him.

At first I wanted to give him a mix of Machine Herald and human body:

But then I reconsidered and changed it. The rune integrated itself into his astral form and… Destroyed? Healed him? At least we see that both Jayce and Viktor end up being sucked into the rune. So if we disregard the fact that they both died (no no), it would make the most sense that they ended up in another dimension (like Ekko and Heimerdinger).

Either they ended up in bodies that aren't theirs, or they got their own because they ended up in a dimension where they already died - like in my comic.

So there were two options for me: Viktor and Jayce look exactly the same as they were drawn into the rune (Jayce with full armour, Viktor in his Machine Herald form). But that would have not make much sense, because then what was the rune doing in their astral form? It would have had basically no effect (externally) and, as you wrote, that would have been a bit boring visually.

The second option would have been a ‘new’ body, affected by the Arcane and infused with magic. So in the end it was a mix of their old bodies for me: Jayce with a beard and long hair because that's sexy; Viktor with his weak leg and fragile body, but healed from the anomaly and the hexcore by the rune. But both are now connected to the Arcane, the rune has united them (as we basically saw at the end). In spirit they are basically one, physically of course still two different beings. That's why I like that Jayce retains his ‘scars’ on his forehead + wrist where he suffered hexcorisation, and Viktor has ‘scars’ all over his body that have effectively replaced his old body of machine and magic.

I also like the option that Viktor is still a divine entity, just healed by the dark influence of the Hexcore. Meaning that he still has his powers as we saw in act 3.

I know he's more mage than Machine Herald now, but maybe he'll replace his leg with part machine at some point, because that would be pretty lit.

On the other hand, I'd also think it would be nice if he had two forms now: his Machine Herald form, in which he can better control the Arcane, and his human form, which is powerful but still fragile.

Well, so much for my essay - thanks for your message hahaha!!! I find it so exciting how many fan theories there are now - one better than the other tbh

mainstream media can sometimes get sibling relationships So Wrong, and everything about it feels fake and stilted. but Chip and Jay read exactly, and I mean exactly, as siblings. From the bickering, to the banter, to the “I’m going to make this worse for you on purpose,” to the “ok imma just fucking shoot you actually.” To the point where they’d kill for each other. they’d die for each other. They care for each other so much that it hurts. When they’re unsupervised together, they are 100% bad influences on each other. And yet their relationship and love has changed both of them in some fundamental way, and has helped them to become the people they are now. It captures everything it is to be a sibling, I think.

hi i’m hiding in the bathroom at work shh but.. i think some of shiloh’s greatest fears would be being forgotten and dying alone. i think that’s why death scares him so much. they don’t want to die in vain and be forgotten, or to only have the bad parts of him being remembered. they want to have a lasting impression on this world, no matter how small or stupid it has to be

[images ID: three images of a comic titled "one must imagine sisyphus happy" by druid-for-hire. it is a visual narrative beginning with someone with wrist pain (depicted by bright orange nerves) working at a drafting table. the reader is shown the same wrist as the person uses it for many everyday tasks such as carrying a grocery basket, pushing elevator buttons, typing, and doing dishes, until the pain dissolves all the panels into chaos. the person then performs several physical therapy exercises until the pain subsides. they sit back down at a desk with their laptop, sigh, and begin typing. a small spark of pain reappears. end id]

a fun little piece i made during the semester and submitted into our school comic anthology! (which you can buy at the Static Fish table at MoCCAFest in NYC ;] ). it's about artists and injury
