If Garret Hardin has no haters, mourn my passing, for I am either dead or brainwashed beyond saving.

Hextech/Hexgates was absolutely allegorical for nuclear.

Love this

Would say, neither knows the person is explicitly their mutual because neither openly confesses to using Tumblr, but they both highly suspect the other, to the point it's painfully obvious to Jayce (he follows both by sheer accident and figured it out out later).

They have shockingly similar anti-war/colonization/industrialization takes and the only break in Viktor's smut/intox posts is a 50 rb long chain conversation with Mel about Noxus imperialism and it's flaws.

Modern Jayce would def have a Tumblr account he uses for fanart, ships, and memes and he's not that shy about it. (You ask what social media he uses, he'll say Tumblr among others). He probably posts innocent sfw headcanons and reblogs all his favorite art WITH tags praising it and a comment on it. Also shares some science fun facts or rbs them.

If you say 'Tumblr is dead' when he's around, he side eyes you for a solid minute.

Viktor also has one and tells no one either bc he sees it as not relevant or bc there is a ton of smut on his dash and he posts when drunk/high.

HC: Viktor's autism and Jayce's ADHD clashed at the start.

Like I think that Viktor was very much a 'dont touch me' and 'focus on one thing at a time' autist

Meanwhile Jayce was always touching him and in his space and working on a billion things at once

Humanity is nothing but a self fulfilling prophecy. Paradoxical in a sense. We speak our position into existence, founded on nothing but our own worldview, and repeat it until it becomes true.

We tell ourselves we are the dominant species until every other animal is in cages for us to view. We claim we own the land until we flatten it to create our own concrete geography. We say that the resources are ours to consume until we've consumed so much that they no longer exist.

We claim men don't cry until so many men hear it that they believe they cannot cry, so they don't. We speak out against racism saying that so many people are racist until it is true that so many people are racist. We tell ourselves that facism will return until it does.

We've spent so long becoming a prophecy of hate that we ought to become a prophecy of love. Humans have so much care to give but they forget they can place it in strangers. Humans are the most compassionate species documented. Humans are social animals and depend on each other for support. Humans possess the ability to change their future to the one they want.

Look at yourself. What prophecy do you believe you should fulfill? Speak it into existence, as we have done before, and let it echo until it becomes truth.

Every child is obsessed with fantasy, and can you blame them? With a limited understanding of the world, unlimited creativity, a reality based on experience instead of logic, and no indication of laws, fantasy explains everything to them while allowing the imagination to remain uninhibited. Yet, as we grow older, fantasy fades. We learn laws, we are given rules to how the world operates, we are taught logic and scientific causation, but the desire for the unbridled joy of fantasy never fades. Therefore, the general population enjoys movies and books and art and other works that indulge them in fantasy, let them live a little in the shoes they once had. It's brief and fleeting and isn't as powerful as when one was a child, but it is a glimpse and that's enough.

However, there are two populations that are not satisfied with only reliving fantasy briefly, they want to create it. They want to take the magic they once experienced and bring it back. Those are society's engineers and artists.

Engineers believe that fantasy can be recreated through mastering the world. Engineers believe that if they know enough about the world, they understand all the logic, all the science, all the physics, all the math, all the things that killed fantasy, they can bring it back. Not through undoing, but through shaping to their will. After all, if one can master the logic that defines reality, then one can bend that logic into any reality they want. Essentially, if they learn to create everything, fantastical reality is included in that everything and thus, they can create fantasy. Engineers root their search to create magic in their understanding of everything else, believing that at some point, a human must possess enough knowledge to change their logical reality.

Alternatively, artists do not subscribe to that worldview. They diverge from engineers in the methodology of creating magic. Where engineers believe that magic has to adhere to the logical understanding of reality we are offered, artists believe they can create magic through an experience based reality. Artists know perception is reality, so if they can simply make their subjects perceive magic, they can make their subjects believe in that magic. No regard to the rules engineers cling to is given from artists. No, they need not worry about actually changing their world, only the feeling of such. Minds like Christopher Nolan or Hans Zimmer never let go of the magical feeling they experienced as children, thus they know what their goal is. After that, it is just finding the right chords to pluck and colors to show.

Two entities walk towards the same goal, but their paths vary greatly. One knows what the other does not, though neither can say who lacks. Both never let go of their childhood dream, instead they work tirelessly to revive it. While everyone else watches them and reaps their benefits, two wild minds redefine reality.

"Why's Viktor your favorite?"

"Because I see myself in him"

"Oh, you're gonna be Jesus and start a cult?"

No. I see an inventor who's trying his hardest to make the world better. I see someone who's been wronged by society so many times but he doesn't give up. I see someone so intelligent, he struggles to find others that share his perspectives. I see a dedicated pacifist. I see a chemist, an engineer, and a creator all in one. I see a disabled man whose body is slowly killing him and he knows he can't stop it on his own. I see someone who only wants to take away the pain from others, instead of seeking revenge on those who did it to him. I see a man willing to sacrifice himself so no one has to be sacrificed for his mission. I see a man who's haunted by every mistake of the past. I see a cooky introvert who has amazing ideas but can't articulate them easily. I see an inventor who needs help at times.

That's the Viktor I see in myself.

I don't get it. Men get mad when women don't go to the gym because "they aren't taking care of their health". But then they get mad when a woman goes to the gym for a while and gets strong and "manish". But they also get mad when a woman lifts smaller weights because she's "wasting equipment". And they call cardio and pilates "baby exercises that aren't hard" and tell women that they should do "real exercises" but like I said above... They can't do those...

So according to men, what are women supposed to do?
