AHHHHHH I’m In Love With Everything About This

when I say literary parallels this I what I mean

idk man but something about Stanley "taught himself extremely advance physics/math/probably many other things while running a relatively successful business" Pines and Stanford "is wanted in almost every dimension with a judicial system of some kind" Pines is sooo fucking funny to me

what if we were both SCIENTISTS and saved each other from SUICIDE and worked in close quarters for a DECADE but our project turned out to be EVIL and one of us got involved in POLITICS while the other got involved in DRUGS because he is DYING and one of us got EXPLODED and then RESURRECTED but left to become JESUS while the other was transported to another DIMENSION and had to endure narrative PARALLELS before vowing to KILL his friend because he came back WRONG and what if we ended up ASTRAL PROJECTING and finally ACCEPTING OURSELVES all while saving the world as PARTNERS??? WHAT THEN??

people say the Brucie Wayne persona isn’t believable but if I caught Bruce Wayne drunkenly lying under a desk in an office he shouldn’t have access to with a ream of secure documents and he replied to my “Mr. Wayne?” with “Mr. Wayne was my father—oh god, my father” and then started sobbing, I would 100% back away and leave him alone. like that shit would work on me every time.

don't really care if the otp is romantic or platonic or erotic or whatnot. i care simply about the essentials (they are toxically codependent)

Viktor’s stance on Hextech weaponry is so important, actually.

Viktor is the only one vehemently against using Hextech to create weapons. Jayce initially agrees, but Mel convinces him that it is necessary, that it would keep more people safe than it would hurt.

Viktor stands firm in his insistence to not do harm with their creation, not just because he is from the Undercity and familiar with the violence Enforcers inflict on innocents, but because he himself is a victim of constant violence. From his body. Viktor is the only character near the council that is so intimately aware of what it is like to be in pain, and they want him to agree to create weapons.

Viktor, whose lungs were wrecked by the Grey so badly that his blueprints are often stained with red. Viktor, who works hunched over a desk, tuning out the aching signals from his leg, his back, his arms, his everything. Viktor, who is in a private war against time, against the consequences of previous Piltover innovations, against his own body.

Viktor never wanted to be a part of anything that would make anyone feel what he feels. And they wanted him to put ultra-powered guns in the hands that were strangling the place he desperately wanted to help.

Over his dead body would a weapon be powered by Hextech.

(Over his dying body, more like. Jayce should have listened.)

yes yes we all see how jayce has to follow the steps of viktor's journey, to climb all the way up from the lowest bottom (zaun) to the highest top (piiltover) with a damaged leg...

but why is his leg damaged? it is not the fall down that leads to the fracture. no. it's his hammer.

jayce's leg is crushed by his own hammer. the same hammer he used as a weapon, betraying his and viktor's original hextech dream of progress, hope and prosperity, for zaun and piltover both. the same hammer he used to kill a zaunite child. the same hammer, the symbol of jayce's choice: confrontation over progress, council chamber over a science lab, everyone else's expectations over viktor, golden boy over partner. the same hammer, a promise broken.

it's the consequence of his own actions that damages jayce's leg.

his hammer - with everything it symbolizes - crushes him. so later we see jayce dismantle it to brace his leg.

jayce lets the past go with all it's mistakes, leaves it behind and climbs up, and then, and there, he gets a new hammer. a new promise. a new oath.

i understand now. my place was always here in the lab with you

The greed they talk about in the bible

for you and your warped reflection

Hey quick question, who’s on first?
