Okay so here is exhibit A of why I wanted to start putting these on a side blog. This has been sitting on my iPad for what’s got to be 8 months now in some stage of completion, because I’ve been wayy too nervous to post it.
It’s just much further off canon than I’m used to going with fanart, but it’s really fun to play around with pre-fall, fall husbands
kind of obsessed with the characterization of jayce and viktor as fundamentally good people who will also go absolutely batshit insane if you separate them because theyre also ridiculously codependent to a degree that is concerning for everybody else's wellbeing. they were literally away from each other for a couple of months and almost ended the entire world

Can’t believe Abbacchio was the first girlie to have bluetooth headphones
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.
good talk
Now it's his turn to wait for his boyfriend🙏
Geto and he’s the same except she’s a girl now so she’s not.
