change is the only constant

"Wait."

"FUCKERS"

I can't fucking escape it.

Edit: found a better pic and. Yeah. They are.

After trying to kill viktor and rejecting him again after, Viktor was absolutely no longer listening to anything Jayce was saying. Jayce could not have shown that man anything because dude was NOT listening anymore.

If it wasn't for Ekko it would have all been doomed. Again. But in every timeline Viktor saw Ekko did not factor in significantly so he never thought anyone except Jayce would matter. To Viktor it just all fundamentally revolved around Jayce.

And older Viktor, having achieved the "glorious evolution" having gone through all the loneliness and grief that followed it, fully believed that Jayce could just show younger him that it was a bad idea and younger him would listen because it was Jayce.

And then Jayce went and pushed his Viktor literally in the opposite direction, once again resorting to violence instead of talking to Viktor, driving him to believe the "glorious evolution" was the only way when before he'd still been valuing humanity and had been willing to listen. And it needed a complete unpredictability like Ekko not just inventing a time machine but overloading it to recreate a situation where Viktor was willing to listen again and Jayce could finally do his thing.

preface!!!! i’m a trans masc lesbian ok i’m like the biggest lesbian lover i was the #caitvi lover s1. but over the course of s2 i felt my love for them kinda go away. and instead i became obsessed with jayvik.

now. why am i making this bold ass claim. they literally had the lesbian sex. that’s so gay??? yea duh pls stop poking jokes about “what’s gayer blah blah or blah blah” obv the lesbian sex is gayer.

BUTTT the actual relationship of caitvi feels much more sanitized and toned down. The problem of Caitlyn and her arc this season to adds to the discomfort I have with CaitVi. Here we have an ultra-wealthy political and military leader deciding to genocide, because that’s what it was, genocide. an entire people. because of the actions of one person. and who’s people is it but vi’s. and instead of having any sort of repercussions for those actions. she is rewarded with a loving and passionate relationship with Vi. Who didn’t even properly fight or bring up her mass extermination efforts against the undercity. Now cutting to real world issues, i understand they were trying to use nazi imagery to make Cait more menacing, but with the actual gassing and fumes being used in current genocides in Palestine and Armenia, it felt kinda tone- depth to just have her use it and not acknowledge it afterwards. Sure she loses an eye, but she still has all her money and power.
