Yes, Jayce Talis would practically become Victor Frankenstein or a necromancer to keep Viktor with him, but you know who else would do it? Machine Herald. I just know that mf would turn Giopara half machine just to keep him alive and I honestly think it doesn't matter if is out of love, or bc he wants to prove his work was worth, because both are quite interesting to explore. That's why, for me, vikjayce is a step ahead, bc with Arcane you know is 100% devotion, in og lore?? They have a false screen of a simple dynamic, but they are both trapped in that false dynamic while also beliving thats the only way for them. It could be any reason or no reason at all. Vengeance or love, love and vengeance.
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."
Getting into arcane has done this to me
Thinking of some art and fics I’ve seen where Jayce Giopara somehow got sent into the Arcane dimension and either badly hurt or kills Arcane!Viktor. Thinking of Jayce Talis coming just too late, having to watch, helpless, as a version of himself kills the man he would sacrifice anything to save.
Considering their divorce era, I think Talis would crash out harder than anyone’s ever crashed out before. Not Jinx, not Caitlyn, maybe Viktor in his Act 3 post-cult era. Maybe. Frankly I think this man would make the first interdimensional nuclear bomb. He’d become the Machine Herald of his own universe and then cross dimensions just to start the cycle over.
MH and Giopara my favorite divorced couple
I posted this on Twitter back in October but never posted it here. I still think it's funny.
yeah idk which jayce would be worse in the other’s universe. giopara in the arcane lore would be so completely unprepared for that viktor’s softness. he’d see his uncovered face (when did that mask replace him in his mind’s eye? he can’t remember.) and curse jayce talis until the end of time for having what he can’t (what he’s too prideful to work for).
but talis in LoL lore??? Girl it’s over. he sees the machine herald and recognizes viktor by his soldering. his heart would break a thousand times over. he’d see his augments and wonder how he could have missed that viktor was hurting to the point that he’d REPLACE himself? and he’d curse giopara until the end of time for missing the signs and letting things get like this.
machine herald viktor would be SO fucking confused and arcane viktor would be side eyeing giopara incredibly hard
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
