Long ass post with, AGAIN, a comic from the newest chapter of @yunuen 's "The line is covered in jellyfish" featuring: mushroomed Viktor and Jayce being fucking BOLD, incredible, love to see.

Bonus: Viktor after suggesting acid as a way to remove the fingerprints.

I feel like the Agatha trailer's should've used "Hit the Road" for no reason whatsoever.

Jayce and Viktor gift art ~ that ending was phenomenal and I'm still thinking about it.

[rins-rambles]

(Arcane Headcanon) Ever since S1 of Arcane, I thought we'd learn that Singed was the one who helped Viktor get into the Academy by passing along a personal recommendation on his behalf to Heimerdinger to help Viktor after he fled Singed's lab.

Since S2 is out now this falls firmly into the "headcanon" category rather than meta, but I'd like to think it's a plausible headcanon and perhaps explore what its implications could have been?

Viktor tells Jayce that no one ever believed in him when he came to Piltover but it is curious that he so coincidentally ran into the Head of the Council, Founder of the City, and Dean of the Academy Heimerdinger who not only took a liking to Viktor but eventually took him under his wing and elevated Viktor from impoverished student from the undercity to his personal assistant. Unless, of course, someone who was once close to Heimerdinger recommended Viktor to him as a bright young mind in need of a positive mentor (and I can easily see Heimerdinger being all the more eager to take Viktor under his wing after learning Singed once mentored him specifically too make sure the boy is free of any lingering influence from Singed's view of the world).

Basically, it strikes me as incredibly plausible that Singed realizedthat Viktor was far too soft-hearted for the distasteful work necessary to turn Rio into a cure for Oriana. But, Singed knew of someone else someone who was similarly softhearted who could mentor Viktor instead. And, at his core, I think Singed always had a soft spot for Viktor and did want to see him succeed. I could easily see him realizing Viktor doesn't fit in with him. While Viktor as a child believed that storming off would mean the end of his relationship with Singed, I actually do think Singed has enough altruism left to look out for Viktor anyway, and to relaize they were a poor fit, and to therefore send a covert letter of recommendation to Heimerdinger. Something along the lines of, "I'm sending you a student. Whatever our past disagreements, he is a gifted young mind who would be a credit to your institution."

That said, I think it would have to be something that happens without Viktor's knowledge in order to sync with his canonical in his belief that no one ever believed in him. And, given how he and Singed parted, it would make sense that Singed doesn't tell Viktor he did it AND for Heimerdinger to not bring the recommendation up either, to allow Viktor to believe Heimerdinger just "stumbled across him" ruminating in his steel oasis, perhaps knowing to look there because of Singed's direction and still being willing to listen to Singed's recommendation when it comes to a gifted young scientist, even if he would never work with Singed personally again.

And finally, if such a scene occurred (big "if" of course, but as I said, I think it's plausible) it's a bit of a shame that it wasn't shown on screen because it would have worked very well as yet another parallel between Mel and Viktor. That, like Mel, Viktor was also explicitly sent to Piltover because he'd get along better with those, "Soft-spined idealists," just like how Ambessa sent Mel away.

And, like Ambessa with Mel and (possibly) Singed with Viktor, there would be the tantalizing possibility that Singed also recognized the horror of what he was doing with Rio, and that through Viktor's eyes he could see it too, and so he needed to send Viktor away in part because he "weakened" Singed, distracted him from his singular drive to bring Oriana back and instead made him consider instead letting her go and seeing the child in need who was right in front of him (arguably the healthier choice for everyone involved and one Oriana would have likely approved of if she had a say). And this parallels too with Ambessa also not wanting to be distracted from her singular, self-destructive drive towards her goals and how Mel showed her another way that she wasn't ready to embrace, and never would be. This could have also leant some weight to Ambessa and Singed's eventual team-up.

But anyway, it's never made explicit so it sadly must remain in headcanon land, free to a good home if someone wants to use it in a fanfic, etc etc.

Sketch is done ✨

[rins-rambles]

A redraw of my fave S2E07 scene! Collaboration is simply perfect for jayvik: meeting of the minds, working in perfect harmony with your partner etc. Added a few nods to various parts of their journey, so it's a mix of a bit of everything rather than recreation step by step. Hope I managed to keep the rhythm of the scene though!

can you two just try to kill each other normally for once
