honestly i think this is my favorite jayvik frame of all times. like Jayce looks so purely in love here, his gaze is full with adoration and i can’t see ANYTHING platonic about it.

"Perfect" humans made by Viktor are completely androgynous. Not only they don't have physical "imperfections" like illnesses, they have no defining sex characteristics or, obviously, gender expression.

And Viktor obviously have control over what exactly he does to his drones -- in AU where Jayce went, his corpse, while still changed by Viktor, still resembles him. Same face, same broad shoulders. Because Viktor deemed him already perfect or whatever his gay ass was thinking.

“Always with ya sis, even when we’re worlds apart.”

“Still got your insides kid?”

“I am the dirt under your nails Cupcake, nothing’s gonna get me out.”

“Always a dance with you.”

“I’ll never forget this.”

“Don’t cry, you’re perfect.”

“You are the wolf.”

“In all timelines, in all possibilities, only you could show me this.”

“You were never broken Viktor.”

“I would’ve never given you up, not for anything.”

"You have a good heart. Don't ever lose it. No matter what this world does to you."

"Ever since you dropped into my life, it's like I put on glasses..Except, I can't tell whether everything's blurry or clear."

“I must say, since I’ve met you lad, I’ve truly lived.”

“There is no force in this world that can control you. You will never be a passenger.”

“I’ve never seen you give up on anything Ekko.”

but why is his leg damaged? it is not the fall down that leads to the fracture. no. it's his hammer.

jayce's leg is crushed by his own hammer. the same hammer he used as a weapon, betraying his and viktor's original hextech dream of progress, hope and prosperity, for zaun and piltover both. the same hammer he used to kill a zaunite child. the same hammer, the symbol of jayce's choice: confrontation over progress, council chamber over a science lab, everyone else's expectations over viktor, golden boy over partner. the same hammer, a promise broken.

it's the consequence of his own actions that damages jayce's leg.

his hammer - with everything it symbolizes - crushes him. so later we see jayce dismantle it to brace his leg.

jayce lets the past go with all it's mistakes, leaves it behind and climbs up, and then, and there, he gets a new hammer. a new promise. a new oath.

in all timelines and in all possibilities 🫶🏻
