This gives me brain tingles!!!
I think there has to be a fight between Jayce and Viktor before the latter leaves for Zaun, where Viktor condemns Jayce for his political choices after Jinx's bomb, and Jayce confronts his partner about the Hexcore, where he got the Shimmer from and Sky's death, that will ultimately tear their friendship apart.
I do think Viktor would be imprisoned IF he would survive the council destroying the hexcore. We don't know what that would actually do to Viktor's body, maybe it's like an instakill.
As to Viktor's next "impossible decision", it's prob going to be to defend the undercity from Piltover's attacks/initiate his glorious evolution. Bc we know Viktor is a pacifist, he doesn't want war and he doesn't want to meddle with stuff like that, but he will decide to fight, bc he's not only partly responsible for the weapons that will tear Zaun down but also the only one to have an adequate defense for it (the hexcore and all the magic and technology accompanying it). At least this is what I think. 🤔
In one the AMA with the writers from Arcane (I think it was Christian Linke but I'm not sure), said that one of the keys to building their characters respective narrative arcs was to "forcing them to make an impossible choice between two things they can't sacrifice" (for example, Silco having to pick between Jinx and Zaun; Marcus choice between protecting his daughter and keeping the peace between the cities vs exposing himself; Vi between Cait and Jinx)
Makes me wonder, what is going to be the "impossible choice" for Viktor and Jayce next season? 🤔🤔
Ouch, this one’s gunna hurt… (TW suicide mention)
I think Viktor kinda sorta already faced it. Or the beginning of it, anyway. The first choice—to die. To give up fighting. To lose everything. To leave this world before he made a mark on it, helped the people he set out to help. Or to survive his terminal illness, take back control, but with the knowledge that he cost Sky her life, and in so doing made the one critical error he never meant to make. To quote Heimerdinger himself, “no great science should ever put lives in danger.” He would always know that, in order to live, he had to sacrifice the very foundation of who he is—“to improve lives, not to take them.”
And we saw him choose option 3. Death, on his own terms. But Jayce stopped him, and I think it’s only going to lead to more destruction of Viktor’s psyche. He’s going to lose everything, possibly be banished by his lover only friend. And I think the ensuing rage and grief will swing him to choose the other option; life, on his own terms. Life that makes him sacrifice who he is. But at that point, I think he’s going to realize that who he was… is already dead. He already lost everything. So taking that final step toward becoming the Machine Herald won’t even be a hard one.
And as for Jayce, I really do think it’s going to revolve around Viktor. What Viktor did will likely come to light—his self-experimentation (which I foresee them calling ‘mutilation’), drug smuggling, and the subsequent killing of Sky. It’s a violation of their ethos, and in the wake of Jinx’s attack, what remains of the council will want their pound of flesh. And I’m assuming Jayce will still be the de-facto head of the council, so it’ll all come down to him.
I don’t think Piltover has a death penalty… so the options will likely be Stillwater Prison or banishment. But Viktor has a lot of knowledge of Hextech, knowledge that I foresee the council wanting to keep out of Zaun. So they will all lean for Stillwater. But Jayce still cares about Viktor, he understands why he did what he did, even if he doesn’t condone it. He wants to protect Viktor, wants to give him a chance. And this leaves him with an impossible choice—send his lover partner to Stillwater Prison, where he will suffer before eventually dying in there, locked away and all alone. Or… banishment. Equally grim, but Zaun is resourceful, they have Chemtech and body mods… maybe someone can help him, maybe someone can save him.
So he banishes his lover best friend.
But I do have a theory on this—Viktor will know how this judgement is going to play out long before the verdict. He knows the council, and… he knows Jayce. He’s seen how Jayce bends to them, how he allows himself to be cowed and corrupted by the pressure. And unfortunately, he’s seen how wrong he was to think “Jayce will understand.”
So he will probably sneak into the lab, steal the Hexclaw and the Hexcore, and leave for Zaun of his own volition. If he can’t trust his partner and lover best friend, then he can trust only one person. Himself.

Still to this day I think about Jinx and Viktor becoming besties, especially after he's became the machine herald purely because I'm kinda obsessed with their dynamic everytime theyre on screen together being this image.
Tumblr media
Jinx has enough emotions for the both of them.

For some reason, I really love the "Vi learns how to block" and "Jinx makes a Silco doll" (I also love most of these) ❤️ also if we'd get to see Vi's full back tattoo ... ooff, I'd SWEAT!!
And yes to the "Jayce does more collateral damage than Viktor" bc honestly ... he prob will 😬

Saw this and couldn't resist, here's my Arcane season 2 Bingo sheet like, a year in advance. These are based on my own knowledge of League lore as well as my pattern recognition of how Arcane likes to tell a story. Tell me whether you agree/disagree please, I love to discuss this show!
Template under the cut! @crankityart

LOOK. AT. THIS. ❤️
I love this weird crossover and the art is just so so good!! Hooty would drive poor Viktor crazy and that's perfectly fine 😌✨
Tumblr media
"JOIN THE GLORIOUS EVOLUTION, HOOT HOOT!"
A silly little goober of a sketch for @crankityart (based on Jinx nicknaming Viktor after an owl…) 😂

When your sister is the "affectionate" kind and your colleague really not used to Southern charm 😬
Winnifred had imagined the encounter to be kind of awkward and chaotic, but her sisters are just upping the game one after another ...

@thehistoriangirl Hehe, hell yeah!! >:D Winni would NEVER admit to that but uhh, yeah it's the skrunkly one ofc 👀💦
I'd like to imagine that Jayce is equally aware as delighted about her embarrassment 😛
Tumblr media
"I'm just kiddin'!" 👩‍🌾 ❤️
Ohhhhhhh, family reunions, am I right? 😌 ✨
What are sisters for if not to embarrass the little duckling in the family? 🫠 🫠

May I present? The offspring of the Peckers family! uwu
I had to give Winnifred a couple of sisters because family shenanigans are FUN! 8^D and designing related characters is always kinda challenging but quite enjoyable.
Secret tidbit: They ALL have awful middle names, Mr. and Mrs. Peckers went TO TOWN with naming their daughters.
Now take these facts! ✨
Rue Peckers As the oldest sister she is the most experienced one and quite confident in what she’s doing. She mostly helps their parents on their farm and loves to work outside. She is the pragmatic jolly type, very social, and easy to talk to. She used to spend a lot of time with the boys in their village as a child and got into all kinds of trouble. Still, she’s very reliable and has no trouble taking responsibility. She also used to fight with Elowen all the time as children, but nowadays they enjoy a very harmonious relationship. She loves to tease Winni every chance she gets and it’s not uncommon for them to get into a play-fight.  
Elowen Peckers The second oldest daughter of the Peckers family and by far the most motherly one. She’s very affectionate and not averse to physical contact. She loves to read books, bake and sew from time to time. She’s good with almost everyone and enjoys spending time with elderly people, having spent quite some time with their grandparents when they were alive. As a child, she did very well in school, unlike Rue and she is generally very book-smart. Elowen cares deeply for her whole family and her husband.
Sienna Peckers The second youngest sister and the seemingly most aloof one. Unlike her two older sisters she isn’t much of a people person, but in no way shy or insecure. She can fend very well for herself and is usually the one to address problems. However, that can sometimes lead to arguments. Still, she enjoys helping other people and listening to their woes. She plays a number of instruments and is very passionate about music and shares her love for singing and songwriting with Winnifred. Winni sees her as an inspiration and probably shares the closest bond with Sienna as both of them are the youngest sisters in the family. Also, she is the one to tease Winni the least.

@thehistoriangirl *SMOOCHES YOU* thankssss 🩷🩷🩷 I'm so glad others find her cute. 🥺 I love freckles and big teeth and ginger hair, I had to give her all of that! As to what she studies ... that's a good question. :^D I suppose something quite sciency, haha. I imagine her to be the only one in her family to really be into that, while everyone else doesn't really get all of the complicated stuff. I also imagine her to be like a lab assistant or maybe some kind of intern to Viktor and Jayce, helping them out as they start developing Hextech. 👀 💦 very cliche, but oh well.
Tumblr media
So ... uh ... I had to create a self-indulgent arcane oc because I'm weak okay?! 👁️ 👁️ 💦 She is only ""loosely "" (haha, sure honey) based on me, I decided to add a couple of things and also gave her a whole family to interact with and I'm having a really good time. :)
I will upload her sisters and some family reunion shenanigans soon! Now time for some facts!
● Goes to Piltover Academy on a scholarship ● Is the youngest of 4 sisters ● Grew up in a rural village in Runeterra ● Her parents are fruit farmers ● Used to be in musical theatre back in school ● Kids used to tease her for her bunny teeth ● Loves to read, sketch, and knit in her free time ● Usually buys second-hand clothing because Piltover fashion is EXPENSIVE ● Scared of moths because of an unpleasant experience ● Hides her Southern accent but occasionally it will slip through ● OF COURSE she's crushing on Viktor, don't even come for me!! :)))
I hope you like her *hides* 👉 👈 💦

Not to dunk on any Arcane writers, I bet coming up with pseudo-sciency stuff for your fantasy show is probably really tough, but it just occurred to me that the solution to Jayce's hextech problem in episode 3 is just ... so funny somehow?? Like, he and Viktor spent like an entire night putting down super complex equations, racking their little genius brains, and what they come up with by the end is "Okay, what if we just??? turn the machine all the way up??" 🤯🤯

Someone theorized that Jinx would lay Silco's dead body in the river. That would be quite a beautiful montage honestly with some sad violin music 🥺
Listen up, arcane peeps
What do you think the first scenes of s2 will be? Feel free to be specific ... let your imagination run wild ...
