i was trying to make a meme but i fucked up the audio layering and

It’s their greatest invention as of yet

"Are you okay" NO. THERE ARE LITTLE FICTIONAL BITCHES IN MY HEAD. AND THEY'RE KISSING.

YOU’VE BEEN HERE TWO DECADES

This is a canon event

The not so fun facts of the first scene of Episode 1 (and on Jayce and Singed)

- You can see that Viktor's spine shattered on impact (Hexcore x-ray). He died in the council room (hence Jayce later telling Viktor, "my partner died in this room")

- Despite the fact other people died, including Mrs Kiramman whom Jayce was very close to (she was his patron and he owed her a lot), he only starts crying when he sees Viktor. It's also the moment he starts dissociating (as proven by the back and forth of the action, where we the viewers see events in the present in the council room and in the future in the lab)

- Viktor doesn't have clothes on the top half of his body in the lab because Jayce attempted to revive him on scene, and failed

- The lab is five blocks away. Jayce RAN five entire blocks while carrying dead weight (which is an insane physical feat)

- Jayce didn't save Viktor's life. Jayce literally brought him back from the dead by using the Hexcore.

- Jayce broke Viktor's promise because he would rather have Viktor be alive with him (paraphrasing, "I'm going to leave the council, my place is in the lab, with you") than to respect Viktor's last wish, destroying the Hexcore.

- Jayce studied all of Viktor's research. He doesn't care about the outcome and the toll on Viktor's body (which was literally so changed that Viktor himself replied, "What am I?") as long as it means Viktor is "alive"

That scene illustrates perfectly Singed's character motivations.

"Why would anyone commit acts others deem unspeakable? For love."

At that point in time both Heimerdinger and Viktor had warned Jayce about the Hexcore. One was Jayce's mentor and the other his partner.

And yet Jayce rejects their opinions each time if it means saving Viktor. (He continues research on Hextech in the hopes of saving Viktor's life. He refuses to destroy the Hexcore because he wants to bring Viktor back to life.)

I find it super interesting that both of the brilliant Piltover scientists in the show are the ones to reject scientific ethos. And this leads to unspeakable horrors, with the creation of Warwick and the Herald.

Yet funnily enough, both Jayce and Singed get their happy endings. The only thing they wanted was to be reunited with the person they lost. And they did. We see that Orianna is alive at the end of the episode just like Viktor. Viktor's theme only plays when Jayce tells him that "(they are going to) finish this together" indicating that at the very end, the original Viktor came back. It is also indicated visually by his appearance which is that of Viktor from Act 1, Season 1.

(We know that regardless of the existence of Hextech, of whether Jinx bombed the council room or not, Viktor would have died by succumbing to his disease. Much like Orianna. I can't help but think of the very, very dark timeline where a grief-stricken, brilliant Jayce meets Singed.)

What a beautiful, beautiful show.
