jayce enduring a symbolic rendition of viktor's trauma is so painful and so, so clever.

being stricken down and immobilized through sheer accident or, in viktor's case, a cruelly random quirk that caused his disability.

then physically dragging himself from the lowest level of zaun to piltover, much like how viktor spent his youth reaching toward the promise piltover offered, but only if he could "pull himself up by the boot straps" and get there on his own. socioeconomic forces working against him be damned.

i appreciate arcane reminding us of viktor's origins - the reason he is so called to help people and, eventually, save himself - and putting jayce through the ringer - the contrast between he and viktor's lived experiences is front and center throughout season 1. the writers send jayce, and the audience, on a grueling journey to contemplate those experiences and how they've manifested in these intertwined characters.

When I started this tumblr I made the private decision to only post about my fics and nothing else. I said it would be the one space where I’d be “selfish,” the one place where it’ll be about the joy of my hobby and nothing else.

But over the past few days, I’ve watched trans creators who thought they were safe in this fandom come to the stark and heartbreaking realization that they’re not. And that’s emblematic of so many marginalized groups realizing that the thin veneer of safety that they thought they had in the world is being ripped apart at a terrifying pace.

Fanfic, at its best, is an anticapitalist, anti conformist, transformative, radically accepting, and imaginative art form, but that’s only true if the people within it are equally committed to that ethos and each other.

In other words, practice what you preach and don’t be an asshole.
