Tbh literally every post-canon AU I've read has been more thought out and carefully written too 🫩

Also thinking about the paparazzi catching them after the show and while Viktor was always proud of his marriage before, he's so tired and defeated about Everything that he just pulls Jayce's coat over his head and keeps himself obscured until they're back in the carriage with the curtains drawn 😭

Councillor Jayce celebrating a long hard day of yelling at Marcus by taking Viktor out to the opera for their anniversary, only he briefly excuses himself during intermission to schmooze and meanwhile Viktor heads to the bathroom to puke up blood and bile 🫩

Also there's a shocking amount of people in this fandom who are still stuck in 2015 Tumblr hell regarding characterization and what is ostensibly "offensive" for fictional characters to be doing and it's like... god, what is it like being so creatively defunct and insipid? 🫩

Viktor Talis, literally the most disappointed wife ever...

Woobification is funny as shit when you're self-aware about playing with Barbies but when people act like that shit is canon and get mad at other people for NOT treating their fanon as sacrosanct... man ☠️

As an aside, the show depicting Vi willingly teaming up with Enforcers sans commentary or conflict was just whack lmao

Also I simply don't understand loving a character like Jayce if you don't want to punt him across the room half the time lmao, a helpless uwu babygirl he is NOT and that's what makes him interesting 😂

Only JT_Talis has whimsy left in his heart now 🥲 Werejayce is just sad and crashing out 😭

Hot men suffering is hot 🤤

Aw thank you!

Jayce finishing his 7 year sentence and desperate to find Viktor once he's on the outside since "their" research was the only thing that kept him going, only to find out he was caught and exiled to Zaun 😱 and their work confiscated and sold to the highest bidder by the Council 🔪 naurr!!

Also I'm a huge proponent of Death of the Author and the ability of a work to stand up by itself without ANY supplementary material or commentary, so 😝

This might seem harsh considering I am an aspiring author myself and have strong feelings about fandom and all that, but my main point is less "wtf does the original author even know about their own work 🙄" and more "put up or shut up in the work itself". No cowards allowed here! 🔪

I'm thinking both of MXTX fucking up her own story in an ad hoc wish fulfillment "epilogue" and people taking the Arcane writers' what-ifs and musings post-show as a part of show canon itself when... no, since they never got permission to put it into Arcane it doesn't count and is basically fanfic 😂

SJ is explicitly the only character noted in SV to have a great ass and they want to take THAT away from him too 🫩

Yeah 😭

Mind you this is strawpage so it could just be 1 person but buddy read the room already 🤓
