I Can’t Help But Wonder

Odysseus, who just violently and mercilessly murdered 108 or so men, who claims in the next song that he’s no longer a kind or gentle man, actively listens to Telemachus and kindly and gently responds to everything his son’s expressed.

Telemachus asks, “Am I like you? Am I strong like you? Will you embrace me? Will you love and accept me as yours?” He says, “I’ve felt so alone.”

And Odysseus claims him in a heartbeat, answering, “My son. My boy. My sweetest joy I’ve ever known. I embraced you twenty years ago. I’d do the impossible for you. I’d die for you.” He says, “Seeing the men here today, I can only wonder what you’ve been through for twenty years. My son, you’re already strong. You’re my own. You’re not alone. I’m home.”

And then they fucking embrace.

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.

i don't think you guys understand the levels of lesbianism in this scene

this 90 caliber electric net is caitlyn's E ability......aka, she's the ONLY champion in league of legends that can use this ability.........thus, the writing decision to have vi, a separate, melee league champion, be the only one in the show that EVER also triggers it (someone informed me that cait does use it during Hellfire), with her bare hands (and against another champion, at that), suggests levels of intimacy and trust that i can't even comprehend

additionally, this isn't the first time caitlyn's given up her gun (aka ALL of her special abilities) for vi, either

oh to have a girlfriend

It's driving me insane that Viktor refused to sacrifice Vander's humanity in the face of his glorious evolution.

The fact that in League he sacrificed his own humanity for it, but in Arcane he refuses. The fact that Jayce left him with no choice and actively sacrificed Viktor's humanity for him. The fact that Viktor refused to do the same to Vander. The parallels between Viktor being revived by someone who couldn't bear to lose him and Vander being revived by someone who could care less that he was lost. The fact that both Jayce and Singed only wanted their subjects to survive. The fact that both Jayce and Singed killed the people they revived. The fact that the cog from the very start of the dealings with the Arcane landed with the corrupted side facing up. The fact that there is no longer a chance of returning from the path they have led.

The fact that Viktor finally understands Singed.

🎶 When we’re all together, we can’t help but sing along! 🎵

Cold Inside is my favourite song from the Winter’s Crest album, so I just had to make some holiday art inspired by it 😄 Happy holidays!!!

(Fun fact if you finish What Doesn’t Break and then listen to this song you too can cry on the bus on the way to work because you’re so emotional about Laudna finding happiness 🥹)
