Raditz Practice.

I kinda feel like writing a funny one shot of post S2 Viktor stuck in league verse (Yes this is inspired by League Viktor getting got by the Arcane rewrite gun rest in piece you will be missed). Poor guy would be so discombobulated by everything.

Why does Jinx look more fucked up than usual?

Why does Warwick have a proper snoot?

Who tf are half these people?

WHY DO I HAVE SONS??? PLURAL???

WHY IS JAYCE A WHITE ASSHOLE NOW???!!!!

I think it'd be funny. Bonus point if he swapped places with League Viktor who's just sipping sweetmilk and taking a vacay while Arcane Jayce frantically tries to get League Viktor back to his world and get his Viktor back.

I also think it'd be funny if when Viktor got back the thing he couldn't let go of as like the absolute worst part of the League timeline was Giopara. Like he just grabs Jayce by the shoulders like:

"Jayce listen to me I just went to the worst timeline ever. Everyone was fucked up, Piltover and Zaun were in a full blown war. Worst of all? You were an insufferable narcissistic asshole and also White."

im a cringe romantic and a diehard angst enjoyer but. i like to think. that in their lowest, most secret moments, amongst the seemingly endless suffering and hatred, leagueverse vikjayce desperately yearned for the ending arcane jayvik got. dying together, side by side. getting to break out of the violent cycle by ridding the world of their existence, but also. ensuring their souls would spend the rest of eternity together once more.

people mostly focus on the timebomb "happy ending" universe bc it's obvious but?? with their old league lore in mind, i genuinely think that knowing how terribly doomed vikjayce have always been, the ending they got in arcane is actually the "happiest ending" they could've possibly gotten.

I love the way others portray LoL VikJay vs Arcane JayVik.

Your favorite couple in the friend group got in a fight but now you think are working it out. (YIPPEE!!)

And then the two who you can't tell if want to kill each other or fuck nasty. Neither seems like a good option.

Viktor & Naph, Jayce & Amaranthine I really like the little stories where Naph and Amaranthine appeared and "grown man takes care of a child" is my favorite genre(?

I feel strange and a lil awkward (dejected really) that sometimes it feels like I'm the only one that loves pre-Arcane LoL-canon!Jayce. I feel like I was the only one excited to hear that Jayce would be in Arcane.

He's been one of my critters for a little over 10 years now.

He's actually the only reason I watched Arcane. Because as someone who plays both ADC and Support, I fucking hate Cait and VI.

LoL!Jayce is forgotten, boring, pompous, arrogant, a genius that's a fucking moron, and a giant ass. Seriously, the guy's a dick.

But, because he's a dick but also a hero it actually makes him extremely compelling to me. He's full of contradictions:

He thinks he's better than everyone else yet also wants the world for everyone.

He wants everyone to be safe and happy but also he just really doesn't like people.

He's arrogant and self-centered but also awkward and anti-social.

Self-centered but not selfish.

Full of morals and ethics yet incredibly weak-willed and naive when it comes to the few people he admires.

He's this big, important inventor and defender of Piltover but also he has like 2 friends because no one can stand him.

He learns humility and that he's a giant fuckin' jerk through his own insecurity when he's not smart enough to immediately figure out a scientific problem. It actually causes him to rethink about life, people, and how he interacts with others. He realizes he needs to fix it but doesn't know how and has to fight against his nature to not be a total douche.

Jayce makes no sense in a perfectly human way. It's this garbled mess of a personality that makes him feel truly human to me.

One of my favorite universes to make up is a mild crossover between League canon and Arcane canon where Jayce and Viktor are cousins with their League counterparts, with the League versions being older.

Not only because the Arcane and League versions are very different and it's really fun to make different stories and dynamics with them all, but because of 2 things

1) Making comparisons and contrasts with the Jayces and Viktors, like how they relate with the family dynamics (like how cousins with the same name absolutely need different nicknames to be told apart or how they look somehow completely different but the same man in different fonts)

2) How Vikjayce somehow ends up being less catastrophically messy by comparison to Jayvik, despite the much worse starting point as the only people who can stand the other's ego
