intrigued by the idea that jayce dooms viktor to become the herald because he loves viktor too much to let him die. but mage!viktor could also choose not to save jayce from the storm in order to save himself from that fate, and yet he too loves too much to let go of jayce. endless cycle only broken by their choice to go together.

#lots of ppl recognize jayce's choice to fuse viktor to the hexcore for what it is (selfishness! loving flawed codependent selfishness! <3)#but few seem to really consider that viktor ALSO displayed that level of unfettered need to have jayce be around #future viktor sure but viktor nonetheless #i know its a time paradox yadda yadda but we're talking generally here in the wider scope of the narrative #its very poetic and bittersweet and beautiful and insane that they literally damn each other as opposed to live without each other #and yes i do think mage!viktors main motivator for saving jayce from the storm is because he wants jayce to save HIM. its abt the circle #idk if mage!viktor is all that concerned about the world really - on a superficial level yes obviously he comes to realize he's wrong #for 'liberating humanity from emotions' but theres more to it because jayce is so integral to his very being by that point #they have like infected each other with.... each other. they are inescapably haunted by each other #like mage!viktor had the same hellish experience that jayce did being touched by the arcane i think #lots of time to introspect and realize that actually the only person you need or really care about has been right there all along #as has been noted by others it was never about hextech it was actually just about Them changing the world #specifically Together #jayvik #arcane #.txt #still insane abt them yes thanks for asking
