Listen… this ship is really good💜✨🔥
"It's not a theory..!"
Or well, technically, what I want to highlight here is the chronology of 3 different lines - notice something?
Viktor: "I wanted to talk about your work... this HexTech theory of yours."
Jayce: "It's not a theory..! I've seen with my own eyes what magic can do, the lives it could save. You've no idea how beautiful it is."
Viktor, later: "This HexTech dream of yours has the potential to do that."
It's no coincidence that the wording around it is identical, with the difference being that Viktor immediately caught on and understood what the idea of HexTech truly meant to Jayce.
No wonder then, really, that Jayce promptly stared like Viktor hung the moon and decided right then and there that this was theirs, now.
(By the way: by virtue or vice of being a series about underrated moments, I don't think I in good conscience will be able to make one singular separate post about the line "Our HexTech dream." - however I will get creative and use lines that connect back to it, don't worry.)

Hallo! Regarding your latest arcane scene analysis: did you see the post (i think it was on x originally) where someone theorised that the split images you can see of jayce in that scene are actually the jayces from alternate timelines? It just makes so much sense and goes with my personal headcanon that we only get to see a fraction of his conversation with the mage (for the purpose of heightened tension) because in their full convo he tells Jayce about what the other versions of him did/didn't do and how it led to the same bad ending. So mage viktor, by observing countless timelines has figured out that it is necessary for jayce to kill viktor then, because he needs to reach the point where his mind gets absorbed and try to break through to him in that moment.
Anyway, sorry for ranting & i love your scene analyses 🙌
(This ask came in response to part 17 of the "Underrated JayVik moments" series.)
I did see that! (...If this is what you're referring to, that is 😅)
I thought it was an interesting catch, definitely - but I gotta be honest, your additions here are far more compelling to me.
I agree that it makes the most sense that what we see is not the full conversation (after all, that would mean their dialogue went straight from "Only you can show me this." to "Send me back!" which would be... very weird). However, somehow I never considered that the omitted parts may have included a line to the effect of "You will want to explain things to him. Don't."
Is it a fully satisfactory explanation, given that we don't get to see or hear any of this? No, not really. But yours is still a better working theory than anything the show gives us, so... what the hell, sure. 😂
(Hm, now that I think about it, while I don't know that I am fully on board with the idea that Jayce's "splitting" is simply him being haunted by literal tethers to alternate timelines, I could definitely see it as symbolic: Haunted, instead, by everything he would rather do than what he knows he is about to do.)
I'm also intrigued by the implication that the timeline mage!Viktor shows Jayce is the one that, in fact, almost succeeded (since everything, down to the position of Jayce's corpse, is more or less the same as it would have been) - with the difference being only that without also sending Ekko to the other timeline, the time rewinder wouldn't be invented and used to buy Jayce another chance to break through to Viktor.
It makes me think that perhaps, the timeline mage!Viktor shows Jayce is not actually his own, original one (which would also explain his vastly different appearance to the Arcane Herald), but instead the latest one. Again - the one that almost succeeded.
I CAN SEE IT RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES.
INFJ: Let’s slow dance.
ENFP: [does the macarena at ¼ speed]
this has empire siblings energy
ENTP: I like to reflect on things just for the hell of it. Even if I'll never know the answer.
INTJ: I don't. But you trick me into doing it.
ENTP: But are you having fun?
INTJ: And if I am, does your manipulation not count?
ENTP: I don't care about the manipulation, I care about you having fun!
I'm so sorry to everyone who tries to recommend something to me
that show you have every intention of watching and you are 100% confident that you’ll love but you refuse to watch right now because its not the right time.
It's 3am. My friend and I are taking an Uber back home from a party. On the way, I’m explaining my Skyrim fanfiction idea and my OC's backstory to them. The driver is a nice guy but he stays quiet for the duration of my story. I'm the first one to get off, my friend keeps going.
I get home and I see a text from them.
The Uber driver liked my fanfiction idea and asked them if he could read it somewhere.
this is beautiful, thank you so much 😭 every new yohren art is precious but this is just-- 🥺🥺
Ren tells Yoh of his sin. What follows after?
