What actually happened to Jayce and Viktor in the end? And why didn’t Ekko’s Z-drive destroy everything within its blast radius?

TL;DR: the only timeline that could have worked was the one where Viktor gives Jayce the Acceleration rune, where Ekko invents the Z-drive, and where Jayce saves Viktor and gets his partner back.

Something we’ve seen pointed out is that the world rune that worked in this timeline was the Acceleration rune, which has the function of transportation through time and space. 

Ekko’s Z-drive was built by inverting Jayce’s Acceleration rune (this is important later).

We know from his experiments that the limit for reversing time is only 4 seconds. Any further back and it causes catastrophic harm to his surroundings. It’s implied that the further he overextends his Z-drive, the more disastrous the damage and radius of effect.

In the final battle against Viktor, we see Ekko overextend his Z-drive far beyond 4 seconds. Then, he yeets it at Viktor, whose mask is shattered from the impact.

We know that turning back time beyond 4 seconds causes catastrophic destruction of the surrounding areas: Jayce and Viktor, and perhaps countless others should have been caught up in the blast. But instead, we see something different:

Time stands still for a moment, courtesy of the boy who shattered time. 

Now things happen all in a manner of seconds: In the astral plane, we see Viktor comment on the anomaly that Ekko has created.

It’s something that Viktor as smart as he is, couldn’t have conceived— leave it to Ekko (and lest I forget, Heimerdinger and alt-Jinx) to show them all up.

This is debatable, but I firmly believe that Viktor with his awareness of all time and space, could have escaped or even survived the explosion.

It’s only Jayce, the only person who could show him what he showed him, that gets through to him in the end and convinces him to give up his Glorious Evolution.

"In all timelines, only you can show me this". Ekko is the catalyst but Jayce was the key.

Jayce returns the Acceleration rune to Viktor which kicks off a chain of events. The souls under Viktor’s control are freed from his grasp. Back in the real world, and back to the explosion, we see the following happening almost simultaneously: 

The blast from the Z-drive extends from Viktor’s reach to Jayce’s

The Acceleration rune embedded in Jayce’s wrist starts to glow from being activated by Jayce and Viktor in the astral plane

Jayce and Viktor are absorbed into the gem and the gemstone blips out of existence 

Recall that the Z-drive was created through an inversion of the Acceleration rune. To multiply something by its inverse, is to divide it by itself. The Acceleration rune multiplied by the Inversed Acceleration rune, cancels out the effect of the other: nullifying both the anomaly from the Z-drive but also the rune.

This explains why there was no larger explosion. Viktor and Jayce (who chose to stay) sacrificed themselves and took themselves out of the equation. Jayce and Viktor were the anomalies— just like the Z-drive should not have existed, neither should have Hextech.

Through all the timelines and permutations of runes that Viktor tried, the only combination that could have worked was in the timeline with the Acceleration rune. It couldn’t have worked if it was any other rune, if Ekko had never invented the Z-drive, or if Jayce had never convinced Viktor to give up his path of destruction, and got his partner back.

In short: Boy Savior saves the day; Love Wins

Loved this 🫠💕

HELLO!! is it alr if I request romantic Fagin headcanons with a baker s/o? Btw like I want the s/o to be like.. taller than him. Lmao. Let's just say they're protective when Fagin's in a bit of trouble,,, heh,,,

so sorry this took so long to get to!

~Fagin is 100% head over heels the second you even smile at him, he believes in love at first sight and the two of you are proof of it

~Very easily gets nervous and becomes a blushing, stuttering mess around you with even the smallest bit of affection you show him

~A peck on the cheek and you might have to help support him so his knees don't completely give out

~You're number 1 support in baking, he'll never turn down an opportunity to taste test whatever you're working on

~If it's safe for them, he'd definitely ask if he could bring some home for the dogs

~And how can you say no when he's looking up at you with his big puppy dog eyes?

~If he thought he couldn't fall even more in love with you, he was proven wrong the first time Sykes came to visit since he met you

~The way you automatically put yourself between him and Sykes, leaving him only able to peek over your shoulder as he watched you tell the man off without any fear

~He once dissolves into a giggly, blushing mess by the time Sykes backs off

~The next time you visit him, you hear him excitedly telling the story to all the dogs for what seems to be the hundredth time based off their bored expressions

i really do believe that the answer to a lot of people's self hatred is not to try and reassure them that they are wonderful and okay and enough, but instead to remind them theyre a completely unremarkable regular ass person who is not the center of the universe or especially important so why would they expect themselves to be some superhuman savior. like there really is a kernel of out of control self importance at the heart of thinking youre an evil lazy piece of shit. because why would you expect you be anything but just like some guy. if you wouldnt expect the guy who works at the vape shop or your mailman or whatever to be able to do something then why would you expect yourself to? youre just some random ass person. its fine

it's actually insane that we're supposed to rely on crowdfunding sites like gofundme to help people suffering from a genocide.

like a lot of people in gaza are currently reliant on these sites and it takes a lot of time and effort to raise the smallest amounts of money. due to the number of fundraisers people tend to ignore most of them until something 'special' stands out.

i know someone who has had their fundraiser taken down twice for no reason. he has lost a very huge amount of money due to that. money that took months to raise. it's cruel and inhumane for these websites to shut down fundraisers and steal the money that would benefit someone living in such hellish conditions.

the person who lost all this money is my friend siraj. siraj just wants to ensure his family's well being. please consider helping him out by sharing and donating. his fundraiser has been verified (#219)

please donate to siraj and his family here

I want you to know that my Ezzdeen is "ADHD" and very picky in his food, and now he is suffering from huge weight loss, because the crazy expensive prices for the food ,so that we can't afford to buy what he accepts, without you Ezz will not regain his health.

We needs your support more than ever, the daily costs of living, the expensive treatments, I hope that through your support I can reach safety with my family.

PLEASE DON’T SCROLL BY!!

We are in desperate need of help. We are a family of ten trying to survive in northern Gaza. Our landlord keeps increasing our rent, and we will be at the mercy of the drones and the tanks if we have to leave, on top of having to leave behind all of our belongings. Every kind of food at the market now costs a fortune and there are no jobs available due to the dangerous situation outside, so we have to fully rely on this campaign.

Starvation is making people around us more and more desperate and I’m scared. Robbers have attacked the families living next to our building. If we get kicked out, we will know the same fate. We can only count on ourselves and the kind souls who have money to spare for us. I swear I just want a miracle to put an end to this crazy situation, I want my life back…

Please help, I swear I’ll be thankful for anything. Share at least if you can’t afford to donate.

TOH: The Magic System & Lore: Brilliant Yet Inconsistent

The Boiling Isles is one of the most distinctive settings in modern animation, packed with imaginative creatures, unconventional magic, and a deep history. However, while the lore is fascinating, certain inconsistencies in the magic system stand out. The rules governing magic, covens, and glyphs—while creative—sometimes lack cohesion, making certain moments feel less structurally sound.

The Coven System: A Brilliant Concept with Loose Application

One of the most intriguing aspects of magic on the Boiling Isles is the coven system, which was enforced by Emperor Belos. The idea that witches are forced to specialize in a singular type of magic, losing access to all others, is a compelling world-building choice that highlights authoritarian control and limitation. However, the execution of this concept feels uneven.

Breaking Coven Boundaries: While most witches are restricted to their designated coven magic, certain characters seem to bypass these limitations with ease. For instance, while wild witches like Eda retain unrestricted access to magic, Lilith’s ability to share the curse with Eda briefly grants her wild magic abilities, calling into question how rigid these restrictions truly are. Similarly, certain coven members exhibit magic that appears outside their assigned discipline. This inconsistency weakens the supposed strictness of the system and raises questions about whether the restrictions are absolute or merely flexible for narrative convenience.

Glyph Magic: Inventive Yet Underdeveloped

Glyph magic, introduced through Luz’s discoveries, is one of the most unique mechanics in the series. The idea that magic can be channeled through symbols is a brilliant alternative to traditional spellcasting. However, despite being a fundamental element of Luz’s journey, glyph magic feels rushed and underexplored in certain areas.

Interaction with Other Magic Forms: The exact mechanics of glyphs in relation to standard magic remain unclear. While Luz is unable to perform traditional magic due to her human nature, the rapid pace at which she learns and adapts to glyph magic raises questions about its accessibility. If glyphs function as a natural conduit for magical energy, why don’t more witches use them? Could a witch theoretically combine glyphs with their natural magic, or are glyphs completely separate from inherent magical ability?

Glyph Discovery & Mastery: Luz learns glyph magic remarkably fast, deciphering its functions with limited struggle. While this highlights her ingenuity and determination, it also makes glyph magic seem overly simplified. A more in-depth examination of glyph mechanics—how their sequences interact, whether different combinations create new spells (Lilith was the one who found this out but I feel it would have been more impactful if it was Luz instead), and how Luz refines her precision—could have added layers to her journey as a spellcaster.

The History & Nature of Magic Itself

One of the most underexplored aspects of the Boiling Isles is the fundamental nature of magic itself. We learn that Titan blood plays a significant role in magical energy, but the broader origins and science behind magic remain vague.

Magic’s Connection to the Titan: Magic is often described as stemming from the Boiling Isles’ Titan. The concept of Titan magic, particularly with the revelation of the Collector’s existence, introduces fascinating lore that is left largely unexplored. What defines Titan-based magic versus external magical forces? Are there other sources of magic beyond the Titan’s remains?

Limitations & Magical Evolution: Magic appears limitless in certain cases, yet highly constrained in others. The existence of powerful relics, magical artifacts, and enchanted objects suggests layers to magic beyond individual spellcasting, but these aspects remain secondary. How does magic evolve over time? Can magical energy be exhausted or replenished in structured ways? These questions, if explored, could have deepened the complexity of the Boiling Isles’ mystical foundation.
