JAYCE AND VIKTOR

“I don’t want to live without you, either,” he whispers, but not in the common tongue. He retreats into Zaunish, where it feels a little safer, and kisses Jayce again. It’s still soft, just a press, but this time it lingers. He’s never been very good at saying how he feels but he’s trying. For Jayce.

A little something for this thing I wrote

(Art without text below)

They break just for their ragged breaths to intermingle. Jayce’s chest burns. Viktor’s eyes are half-lidded, amber and glinting, lips swollen and trembling.

A peaceful landscape for today's painting

As important as it was to contact Tumblr when they made that asinine, fucked up change, now that they've reversed it, you have a chance to say thanks for reversing it.

I know that you're probably still riding the high (negative) from the stress of going through yesterday's changes, and worrying about the fate of your community, and how badly the change would have affected creators. We banded together, and we let the staff know that we didn't like what they were doing, and you know what? They listened. That's part of why we're here on Tumblr and not other places that would have just shoved that down our throats regardless of the hundreds of thousands of complaints. Yeah, they fucked up. Big time. But they also backed off, and it's important to speak on that front as well if you want them to do it again later.

So, even though you may still be mad that they did it at all, take a moment and a breath, and click here. Select feedback if it isn't already selected. And just say "Hey, thanks for listening to your users, and for rolling back the change. I like my community here, and I like that you listened to us when we asked you not to do something we didn't like." It doesn't need to be elaborate. But if we want them to listen to us, making it worth listening to us is a step in the process.

Which also means that if you added a negative review somewhere due to this update, consider retracting or editing it to address the back track on the update. If you were a premium user and you cancelled in order to speak with your money to object to the change, consider speaking again now that you've been listened to.

Not only will you get to see the hilarious names of these works but usually a short story and a detailed look at his work progress!

Hextech can and should be making mobility aids, it's pretty ridiculous that in this magic, steampunk world Viktors legbrace, cane, and backbrace aren't enhanced with hextech. Especially the legbrace, there HAS to be a way to make a hextech legbrace that makes it easier for him to walk and run. Probably even would have stopped his mobility and health from getting so much worse over time.

Jayce and Viktor are constantly talking about using Hextech to help people but instead are forced by their funders to basically create amazon same day shipping. Whenever they try to push for things to make peoples lives better they're told to wait longer, but the stuff that makes the council money gets pushed through rapidly. They keep doing what they're asked so hopefully they can do what they want but it never actually happens.

It really stands out at the beginning of season 2 when Salo fucking painfully thunks down the stairs in the wheelchair.

First of all, it shows how accessibililty is not at all on the councils mind, but also how the hell are there not hextech hoverchairs. Salo is one of the richest and most powerful people in piltover. They have FLYING SHIPS THAT CAN TELEPORT, hoverchairs are so doable. But of course the funding isn't for that.

We know it's possible because ZAUN has shimmer enhanced prosthetics and limb enhancements.

Even Vi's gloves are limb enhancements. And again, the gloves were originally designed to help workers but they were told to wait like a decade, up until the council realized they could be used as weapons, then they seemed just fine to have them ready to go.

I will never be mad at Jayce for kicking Heimerdinger off the council. Knowing that Viktor probably wouldn't be dying if they had been allowed to use hextech to help people from the beginning. Viktor was right when he said Jayce would understand him using shimmer, Jayce would agree to whatever it took to keep him alive. They tried doing things the right way but then they were out of time.

Banned Books Week Day 2

Not that any book deserves to be challenged or banned, but what is often upsetting is that many challenged/banned books are in fact beautifully written tomes that end up becoming best sellers, on numerous "Best of" lists, or actual award winners. Today's list highlights just three of those.
