league! viktor meets jayce talis thinking this jayce must be so soft and wholesome, only to realize the mf is a lot more crazier than giopara by the end of their lore

"bringing a loved one from the death without consent by the thing they told u to destroy? i'm impressed, talis."

The arcane I wanted

I posted this on Twitter back in October but never posted it here. I still think it's funny.

I hate that they're retconnining League Jayce and Vitkor PLEASE JUST LET THEN EXIST SEPERATELY FROM ARCANE I SWEAR BC ARCANE JAYCE AND V LITERALLY GOT PUT TO REST SO LET ARCANE J AND V EXIST IN THE COSMOS AND GIOPARA AND HERALD SUFFER AS DIVORCED HUSBANDS PLEASE WHY CANT THEY JUST COEXIST I SWEAR YOU COULDVE STILL UPDATED LEAGUE VIKTOR'S DESIGN WITHOUT TURNING HIM INTO SOMEONE HE'S NOT

Arcane Jayce would never do half the shit League Jayce does and that's okay let them be separate

THEY GOT JAYCE TOO??!?! NOOOOO

i think a lot about how ultimately, league jayce and viktor’s story was about elitism in academia — more than that, it has a lot to say about restrictions that are created in sponsor-ship based academia, which ultimately creates restrictions based on the “acceptability” or “fundability” of research, which ultimately leads to an academia that only serves the elite.

like, jayce (both in arcane and league) is a member of the middle class. whether or not its blue collar or upper middle class remains to be seen/up to interpretation, but the fact remains that he’s NOT a member of the elite. viktor is also NOT a member of the elite, he’s from the literal lowest echelon of their society. but the difference between them is the veneer of respectability politics. jayce ingratiates himself to piltover’s elite, becomes an apprenta for them, takes on the name of one of the highest houses in piltover’s upper class (giopara) and later moves to work directly under a house even more revered (ferros), thanks to their tireless work in keeping the lower caste (zaun) oppressed.

viktor, on the other hand, is ousted from the academic circle both he and jayce operated within when his work is STOLEN by stanwick, who is a professor with familial ties TO piltover’s elite, and also in a position of much higher authority by virtue of being a professor. viktor represents grassroots, anti-establishment academia, which is both entirely unregulated (an issue in and of itself! by the way!) but also in no way even allowed to sniff at the kinds of legitimacy only conferred to academics in that circle of elites.

both jayce and viktor are brilliant. but it’s also because of that ever present boot on the neck of academic progress (the rich) that neither of their work is actually able to do any of the good both aspire to. league jayce is a glorified weapons maker and superhero. viktor is reduced to a madman with no regard for free will, his actual contributions left in the dirt because they are “unappealing.” meanwhile, the real problem — camille ferros, for one — profits off the both of them.

do NOT get me started on how this manifests in arcane.

hehee

the demons in hell must be having a riot there's all these rumors about crowley and aziraphale dating and allegedly theres a picture of them together and then 90 years later you hear that a demon and angel ran off to alpha centauri and you're like oh must be crowley and aziraphale they've been a thing for ages but NO its your boss beelzebub (ex boss now, apparently) and heaven's supreme archangel fucking gabriel. like how do you go back to work after hearing this

Putting Giopara in arcane situations is so funny to me.

Mel: I propose that Jayce Giopara is elected to the council

Giopara: not at all respectfully I would rather kill myself, fuck you.

Viktor: we are NOT creating weapons

Giopara: too fucking late.

Himerdinger: wait a few decades and I’m sure it will be ready

Giopara: I wasn’t asking permission!?
