This Art Made Me Finally Understand And Put Into Words My Obsession With Silco's Design.

Underrated JayVik moments/lines (8/∞)

"I've come with Viktor; my partner and a Zaunite."

Finally the hypeman Viktor deserved.

Jokes aside, this line is one of the reasons I started making this series in the first place. Specifically the "Zaunite" part of it.

Why? Because not only has Jayce up until this point always referred to just "people from the Undercity"... I feel like he never even fully acknowledged that Viktor was one of them, either.

Or rather: that Zaun was still a part of Viktor.

Sure, Viktor essentially introduces himself to Jayce as a "cripple from the Undercity" and often enough states his wish to help the people there, but I believe this likely struck Jayce as gracious - same as it was for him - rather than personal.

After all, Viktor had successfully escaped the Undercity, right? He more than deserved his place in Piltover, right?

Jayce never thought less of Viktor for being a Zaunite, but that doesn't mean he respected his heritage. (The biggest indication of which, of course, being their infamous argument on the bridge. When Jayce says "They're dangerous!" he absolutely means it as a them, not a you.)

Yet here, he finally acknowledges and demonstrates respect for Viktor's heritage as a fully integral part of who he is - a boon, even, rather than a misfortune - and gives him the floor for this crucial moment of the proposal.

Speaking of: it's a pivotal gesture not only in terms of Jayce recognising Viktor as a Zaunite. I want to draw attention to this moment in episode 4 real quick:

(I LOVE how this is a perfect mirror image to the scene above.)

Here, Jayce is keeping Viktor from speaking even one word in front of the council. To protect him, to take full responsibility, to do the right thing... to do everything except take into consideration what Viktor might have even wanted to say.

He means well, of course he does - but it will take him until the season finale to realise that what marginalised people need is not for someone to protect them or govern them or speak for them.

It's for their voice to be heard.

In conclusion: not only is the scene as a whole the perfect culmination of Jayce's character arc in season 1, but this line in particular proves how it would have also served as the perfect starting point for a mended - and while more jaded, way stronger - JayVik bond if things hadn't gone south again immediately.

I know Viktor will later say "our paths diverged long ago", but even though that is true looking back from that particular moment in time, I've always loved how in reality, they did, just for one day, fully find their way back to each other in this season finale.

Idk if u guys will agree with me but I feel like Silco is simultaneously very straight and very gay but couldn't be further from giving off bisexual vibes. He occupies two opposite ends of the spectrum but avoiding the middle completely.

Thank you, this helps so much! I always struggled with visualizing how exactly Viktor looks in 'jellyfish'.

Viktor and Jayce designs based off 'the line is covered in jellyfish' written by @yunuen 🪼🪼 I love this series so much and wanted to give back somehow!

censored nakey versions below

I loved the idea of how their bodies delt physical trauma and entanglement with the arcane, especially Viktor who is now both human and something else entirely.

Please read jellyfish if you haven’t already!! It’s a post-canon fic of Jayce and Viktor trying to survive the tundra as they rediscover themselves and collide into each other’s orbit once again

hello there my fellow disgrace on society, may i interest you in some larceny this fine day?

I love the thieves guild because people in Riften are like “those eeeevil thieves are responsible for everything wrong in this city!!!! They’re all terrible bastards, every one of them!!!!!!” and then you actually meet some of the members and it’s just like a couple hardasses, some angry lesbians, some tough guys that are actually fairly soft, and a bunch of dramatic gays.

People of Riften: ggrrrr what do u want???

Thieves Guild: hello fellow degenerate pull up a chair

Crowley's "Ngk" vs. Edgeworth's "Ngh"

It's 3am. My friend and I are taking an Uber back home from a party. On the way, I’m explaining my Skyrim fanfiction idea and my OC's backstory to them. The driver is a nice guy but he stays quiet for the duration of my story. I'm the first one to get off, my friend keeps going.

I get home and I see a text from them.

The Uber driver liked my fanfiction idea and asked them if he could read it somewhere.

Just came here to say I'm a Ne-dom and my thoughts are strongly visual. If you were to sit in a café with me and we'd talk about a certain topic, and then a month later I'd hear about that topic in a completely different situation, the image of the café and the exact view I had from my seat would pop up in my head.

Although I don't have color-synesthesia, my brain does make some weird associations. For example, when I play the guitar I associate notes and frets with specific gender, animals, etc.

Also, there is a term for not having visual imagination at all. It's called aphantasia.

Alright, this might be the weirdest question you’ve ever gotten, and I wouldn’t be surprised if you ignored it, but… do you picture Enneagram and/or MBTI types as colors? I know, weird, but I was reading your latest type 2 post (the one in which you mention Annie Wilkes and Alex) and suddenly I had one of those crazy realizations you have out of the blue - I have been seeing type 2 as something abstractly light pink all along since I’ve started learning about Enneagram around two years ago. Do you also do this? Coming to think about it, I once saw people on Tumblr, if I recall correctly, talking about doing something similar, but with school subjects, lol.

EDIT: Turns out it was Buzzfeed, lol

https://www.buzzfeed.com/hattiesoykan/what-colour-do-you-associate-with-these-school-subjects

Interesting. I don’t do this, no, because I don’t have color-synesthesia. I have read about it in the past, and it would be interesting to know if it’s related to type at all or just a random occurrence in certain people.

I actually have very poor visualization skills. I’m not sure if it’s typed to being Ne-dom or if it’s just a weird thing my brain refuses to do, but I don’t think in pictures, colors, or even words – just in ‘thoughts.’ And when I’m envisioning a scene, I’m thinking in words rather than ‘seeing’ two characters do something. So when I think about 2, I think “the helper… over-helping… wanting love… pride” rather than envisioning a character, color, or person.

If anyone relates to the color thing, reblog and add your thoughts (rather than sending me an ask) since I’m curious to read it. :)

Oh.

Underrated JayVik moments/lines (16/∞)

"I suppose your legacy has been well-secured."

How is this a JayVik line? At first and even second glance it isn't, but bear with me for a moment.

What this line does do initially - seeing as it's said in response to Heimerdinger stating he never contemplates his own death - is tell us how important the idea of "legacy", of leaving something good behind to be remembered by, is to Viktor.

This is not a novel idea; I've seen multiple posts talking about the tragedy that is Viktor, in the end, leaving no legacy at all (if he's lucky, that is - otherwise there would only be the tale of that one time a metal maniac threatened to end all of humanity) because all of his accomplishments and good intentions vanish with him and Jayce.

And yes, that sure is one - very bleak - way to look at it.

However, fortunately that's not all there is to his story.

Because if you think about it for a moment - think about Viktor's motivations throughout the show -, there are two additional driving forces that contribute to this desire to leave a legacy, apart from his desire to help and his strong moral compass:

Loneliness and a damaged self-image.

People suffering from both often end up believing they will only ever be as good, as desirable, as lovable as the good they do for others. They wish to be remembered in death because they can't imagine feeling treasured in life.

I think for someone like Viktor - having placed all of his capacity to make a difference in the world on his "gifted mind" rather than his value as a person -, to be loved unconditionally for who he is may have been so grand an idea that changing the world honestly seemed more attainable to him.

Yet as I pointed out in part 4, even after ostensibly achieving what he thought he wanted in the commune ("an immaculate physique, community, the ability to help people and 'make the world a better place' - a perfect legacy"), from the way he speaks to Jayce and goes on to think and act after facing rejection by him, you absolutely get the sense that there is something vital missing from the picture here.

And it's scarcely even new information at that point, really, as we already learned this a lot earlier by how - when faced with the loss of both love and legacy - it wasn't the threat of losing legacy which Viktor's mind got stuck on:

"Jayce will understand."

It's almost as if... oh I don't know, as if Viktor had thought what he wanted was to bring magic to the world, but ultimately...

Oh.

"I thought I wanted us to give magic to the world... Now, all I want is my partner back."

Jayce, same as Viktor, had big dreams of making a difference in the world since childhood, which - while definitely also driven by a strong desire to help people - is proven here to be equally rooted in the very elementary human desire to connect with someone. For someone to understand him and share his dreams ("our HexTech dream").

He found, and was found by, that someone in Viktor. The fact that the very catalyst of Jayce's dreams - the mage - turns out to also literally have been Viktor all along only serves to emphasise this point.

And here, at the end of everything they've endured, Jayce concludes that maybe, to love and to be loved in kind can be enough. Can be everything. Can be all he wants.

I like to believe that Viktor came to that same realisation about himself in those final moments of perfect connection they shared.
