Ao Bing Literally Had To Be Locked To Prevent Him From Following Nezha (otherwise His Life Would Be In

jayce talis would love league viktor and arcane viktor would fucking despise jayce giopara. he's hitting that man with a brick. over the head. twice.

ooooooo I wanna make up my mind but I don’t know myself

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.

Hey league lore fans, how about we make our own tag specifically for league of legends related stuff since the actual League of Legends tag is overrun with arcane stuff? I was thinking "runeterrablr" since runeterra's the world we're all attached to but i dont wanna completely overrun the 'legends of runeterra' tag by accident. Does anyone have any other suggestions 😭
