the moment that changed everything in this timeline was that vi managed to convince jinx that they could be sisters again. unconditionally. jayce got the council to vote for the creation of zaun. and there was no bombing or subsequent deaths/injuries. viktor died months later. (1/5)

in my head, i imagine this jayce to have been in mourning for over five years. the last thing his viktor asked from him was to destroy the hexcore and keep working on their hextech dream. this jayce was unable to do either because of the weight of his grief. (2/5)

he continues his duties as a councillor and pauses any new hextech development. the council, agitated, overrules him and hands over all hextech operations to new young and brilliant minds. he’s unable to destroy the hexcore because it knows what he wants (viktor) (3/5)

though it’s slower, the anomaly still starts to form at the hexgates. and jayce, who is surprised ekko and heimerdinger came to him instead of the new people assigned to work with hextech, agrees to help, and gets thrown into mage viktor’s timeline. (4/5)

mage viktor senses that there’s something different about this jayce. his grief is not the same as the other jayces who have visited. his grief belongs to someone he can’t return to. they have that in common. (5/5)

Would have loved for Ekko and Powder to have been two of those minds. Imagine what the anomaly/hexcore would have done to them? Ooohhh... could you imagine a Corrupt Ekko?

ohhhh while i love the idea of ekko and powder (jinx at that point of the timeline) running hextech operations, i don’t think piltover would ever let zaunites have access to their biggest asset 🥲 not even for diplomacy’s sake

You're probably right, haha! Still, love the idea of Heimerdinger shepherding this young champion-to-his-people!Ekko into the fray, thinking he'll 'do better' than he did with Viktor - then through Ekko, it getting into Jinx's hands. And maybe not going so bad. Reparations for the council.

Your art is always so evocative and just. It punches through my heart in the best way.

Ough/pos
Please tell me Jayce gets some grief counseling oof

kidovna.bsky.social•2 days ago

he definitely did not which is why he’s been handling it so poorly. he’ll probably now throw himself into a mission to save mage viktor :’)

turbobroncobalt.bsky.social•2 days ago

I mean I know he didn't until now, but... in the future??? Please???
And you're so right
I'd love to hear ramblings of the basic plot points of that. Or maybe we could brainstorm it together
