Always big ol puppy dog eyes like "am I doing this right?"

Maybe, yeah Its hard to tell if the anomaly was the arcane itself or if it was being controlled by Viktor when it sucked them up

But as to why did Jayce arrived at the conclusion that he needs to kill Viktor, I'm just gonna assume that it's because he was too close in proximity to Vi 😭

That's probably the case, but I feel like it's still a leap to start with killing your partner 😭

If he had shown Vik what he talked to his future self about (which he does anyway later and it works) I think Vik would have listened

Not to mention that Jayce failed to finish the job

Closeups

ooh I really like this take on it ❤️

oh also, regarding art, one of the best pieces of advice I've seen from other nsfw artists was looking at rock climbers for anatomy reference in understanding how muscles work. Does wonders trust 🙏

aw that means a lot to hear, thank you! ❤️
Not finding any art for a ship you wanna see art for is a hell of a motivator to do it yourself 😅

thank you!!
Right now I'm consumed by the jayvik brainrot, but I'll probably end up making some old man yaoi again in the near future

However since we're already talking about symbolism, what about the "wounded healer" and "the wound that never heals"?

I think either way works really well for them, especially looking at their character arcs there's plenty arguments to be made for either version. I fuck with anything that swaps the "stereotype" though with Jayce being more wolf coded and Vik more Lamb, especially with the whole Jesus arc

oh almost forgot to add the one to this thread that started it all:
the way I started shipping them was so fucking stupid, I had leveled Wesker a good bit already when Vittorio was released, so I used the offerings on Wesker to gain points to level Vittorio and, well... this came to mind

I also started writing a fanfic 2 years ago at this point that has 25 chapters and was last updated last year 💀
If y'all are interested it has a ton of smut, angst and fluff
I might be motivated to write more if I see that you guys like it 👀

This one was inspired by a piece done by the talented @zenzenv.bsky.social

Yeah you get it 😭

Yeah thats what I was thinking, but imagine if Viktor got those braces on his leg and spine via medical doctors first.

Especially since I can't imagine Jayce designing a spine brace that would need to be screwed into Viktor's back 🥺
