The Way His Eyes SHINE When He Was Hugged 🥲🥲

jinx.....

More firelight viktor with ekko because it's all I can think about

☆ 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕞𝕒𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕖 𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕒𝕝𝕕 ☆

a common viktor mischaracterization that always bugs me is when people try to argue that viktor was this huge zaun activist prior to season 2 because he very clearly wasn't. a lot of the piltover characters weren't and it's easy to understand that given their privileged backgrounds but viktor's relationship with zaun is really complicated and i don't see a lot of people talking about it. i find it incredibly unlikely that he wasn't aware of the choices being made with hextech, specifically the way the hexgates contributed to the growing class divide between piltover and zaun and the choice to reroute the hexgate tunnels towards zaun so that piltover buildings weren't damaged in case of emergency

i don't really think jayce would have made those decisions without him and i think it's more likely that viktor approved those plans and turned a blind eye to the harm it was doing as a concession to ensure that progress on hextech could continue. because otherwise he and jayce wouldn't be able to get the support and funding they needed to do what they really wanted with the hex crystals. and i think that was a huge part of why, once he merged with the hexcore and it became clear that jayce was okay with their technology being used for weapons, he went to zaun to help people. because that guilt had been building up for the past 7 or so years and he was finally seeing the consequences of refusing to acknowledge the societal impacts of his technology

ok so i realized something:

we all know that isha is a parallel to powder with extremely overt similarities, with her relationship with jinx being a parallel to powder and vi’s. and through isha, jinx is able to see the reason for vi’s actions through the hard way, and live through the lens of an older sister. isha allows jinx to be vi for a moment. she lives through vi’s life as a protector.

now, who does that sound similar to?

Jayce.

jayce, when he is thrust into the alternate dimension, is forced to physically climb his way out of the fissures of zaun to the peak of piltover all with a broken leg. he is reliving viktor’s life, and ultimately realizing the reason for viktor’s desperation and his actions.

i feel like people enjoy talking about the parallels between viktor and jinx, but now i wonder if there are also some more thematic similarities between jinx and jayce.

Look, now we match

- In many hospitals. purple wristband typically indicates a patient’s “Do Not Resuscitate” (DNR) status, alerting staff to the patient’s wishes regarding end-of-life care.

hammerposting again because guys. we need to talk about this scene more

like. not just because it’s the girlfailure duo and i love them, but also because it makes no sense for them to win that fight

vi is a skilled boxer and could beat the shit out of multiple adults on a bridge even when she was like 15 and didn’t have superpower gloves, however. she’s within a 50 yard radius of jayce so now she has an iq debuff of 50%

and jayce?

JAYCE HAS ZERO FUCKING TRAINING. HE’S A SCIENTIST. THE BIGGEST FIGHT HE’S BEEN IN IS HIS FIGHT WITH BISEXUALITY AND HE LOST THAT ONE TOO

THAT MAN HAS NO EXPERIENCE WITH ANYTHING AT ALL AND THEN HE WALKED INTO A HEROIN FACTORY WITH A LESBIAN AND A 7 FOOT TALL HAMMER THAT SHOOTS LASERS, OF FUCKING COURSE HE SHOT A KID. WHO TOLD HIM ANY OF THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA

If the ep 6 reunion went differently...
