Hi, I'm making a blog here because I don't like the rest of the internet that much. Really just an art student with no friends looking to waste time. Reblogs are at robomancing-reblogs and art is at robomancing-draws.

Patina

Concrete Canvas/Street Demons Lonely people doing art together, Viktor has a fantasy disability that's pretty similar in its effect on his life to his normal one, fluff and angst with a 4 angst/6 fluff ratio

This year's Tagfest aligns by chance with the year anniversary of Jayce's...eh...Becoming a ghost. He's been content to people watch and admire the city's abundance of street art, especially the art of his favorite tagger, an anonymous artist going by MetalIsPerfection. Viktor is content to be alone because he's learned that the alternative makes him feel worse, keeping to the shadows.

Asham

Cult of the Lamb Genuinely pretty dark, I guess they're furries, idk, consort Jayce, failed timeline vibes, commune Viktor but worse, if you vote for this one comment what Jayce's species should be

The Lamb adores his consort. This is just a fact of life for all other followers; if the Lamb must choose between any number of them and his precious consort, he will never choose you, wether that be for conversation or between your lives. According to legend the Lamb's consort isn't even unaging, and especially not immortal, yet in a thousand years his consort has never stayed dead for more than a day.

Hybrid Vigor

Prehistoric Hunters/Primal Hunt Love at first sight, soulmates, some animal-like behavior, some survival horror, low tech but they're still inventors, Jayce lets Viktor ride on his dinosaur

Just before entering a dangerous valley that will take months to cross, Viktor, the weakest and generally sickest member of his own herd, encounters Jayce-Who is ugly sobbing waist deep in a river. Honestly that probably should have deterred Viktor, he's not sure why it didn't.

It seems the COTL and KATAOWB inspired ones tied, so I'll just include them both, I guess? For the sake of not adding a bunch of extra polls, I'll just finish these off with Champy! As usual, just pick the one that intrigues you the most but don't get too upset if it doesn't get picked. You can find the ones that are already done here on Tumblr or on AO3.

Mutagenic Blue

Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts Inspired/Also that show slaps and yes I watched it it was fun Body horror, taking Kipo out of this makes it a completely different genre I'll be real, post apocalyptic, selectively mute Viktor (If you get that joke please tell me in the comments because I find it really funny), starts out pretty angsty then gradually melts into something much lighter, a lot of mutant kaiju animals, other characters present as their fursonas IG

Jayce is a man, he can admit when mistakes were made. Mistakes were made, but hey, at least no one was technically actually hurt. They managed to evacuate everyone before things went completely wrong. Yeah they kind of destroyed their burrow, and yeah, years of their research were destroyed, which is going to make fixing it a lot harder for Jayce. He can fix it though.

Jayce just needs to track down the mega mutant they accidentally released into the city and cure his mutation without a lab completely on his own. How hard could it be?

Viktor is the weakest and sickest member of his herd, always aware of it even if no one admonishes him for it. Jayce is expected to take his father's place in his own herd, but he's never wanted it for himself and it does not come naturally to him. The herds meet before crossing a dangerous valley, and the two click.

Chibi Jayce notices a new champy on the carousel who seems to be struggling a little bit, so he decides to make a new friend by helping him! Chibi Viktor would like whoever this is to fuck off.

Toy Box

Gnar's Toy Box/Toys Angst, Non-chronological timeline, terminally ill Viktor, later android Viktor, some black mirror BS, Jayce being pretty suicidal, Jayce caretaking and Viktor caretaking, Jayce getting better but very slowly

After the passing of Jayce's best friend, Jayce very publicly attempts to take his own life. He's left on house arrest with something wearing his late partner's face.

Second Chance Poll

I was thinking about some other silly AUs for Jayvik that would be fun, and am curious which you guys would be most interested in. (It might make it to the AU polls to get a fic for it but probably won't since my plate is full anyway)

Which Interests You The Most?

Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts Inspired

Plants vs Zombies Inspired

Cult of the Lamb Inspired

Slime Rancher Inspired

Mune Guardian of the Moon Inspired

Voting ended onMay 29

Key ideas;

Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts Inspired - Decades after an unknown apocalypse caused animals to mutate and the human population to dramatically decrease, humans live in underground cities called burrows to stay safe, and the animals rule the surface as small pockets of sapient animals or the rare mega mutants. Jayce and Viktor hope to isolate the mutagen that created the mutant animals and use its medicinal properties. They're successful, technically-But destroy their burrow and trap their first test subject in the body of a mega mute without the chance to form a mental anchor in the process. Jayce is determined to somehow find him and get him back.

Plants vs Zombies Inspired - This one is very loosely inspired. Humanity is nearly gone, reduced to living in bunkers called Greenhouses. What remains of it, both the dead and the living, is fought off and protected by sapient plants who were cared for by the humans and now return the favor. Jayce (a meteor flower) has a bit of a crush on Viktor (a sun shroom/red stinger), but can't find the time to ask him out when both of them have much more important things to do, like research and defense.

Cult of the Lamb Inspired - The Lamb has a favorite follower, one nearly as old as the cult itself, who he will not allow to die-Or at least not allow to stay dead, no matter what lengths he must go to in order to keep him alive, well, young, and happy. In that order of importance.

Slime Rancher Inspired - After coming out of cryogenic hibernation from the long journey to a new planet capable of sustaining life that has very promising new resources, Jayce (an crystallographer) and Viktor (an engineer and doctor) realize that they've been assigned to live on the same plot of land, very, very far away from the other colonists. While they question the logic of it, it doesn't bother them nearly as much as they thought it would.

Mune Guardian of the Moon Inspired - Viktor is carved from wax, melting in the heat and freezing in the cold. During the day he melts enough to move, and at night he solidifies to sleep, in an endless circle of maintaining his balancing act. Jayce, warm like the sun, wishes he could touch him just once without melting him.

Chibi Jayce notices a new champy on the carousel who seems to be struggling a little bit, so he decides to make a new friend by helping him! Chibi Viktor would like whoever this is to fuck off.

Alloy

Xeno/Kaiju Xeno fiction, established relationship, kind of a sickfic?, Viktor isn't terminally ill but he could become so, not a lot of actual conflict in this, mix of third person and outsider POV, childhood friends

Jayce and Viktor have been in a symbiotic relationship for nearly their entire lives, and have settled into their territory long enough for a city to form its identity around the pair of them. When the city's sound, light, water, and air become unbearable to Viktor, Jayce decides to move them back to his mother's territory until he can find somewhere they can thrive together again.

Vote on the fic you like the most based on the universe it's based on, the concept, or just how much you like the skin. If you vote, please reblog so more people can see it. I don't mind much either way. Just pick your favorite and hopefully it will get a slot so it can get published ahead of the ones you like less. Once it's published you can find it on AO3 or linked here on Tumblr. They're a pilot fic of sorts so the one with the most comments by the end of the month once the last one is published will get some "cover art" and a guaranteed continuation.

A Nasus bot pulls Jayce from a particularly grueling and bloody battle to bring him to its creator completely unharmed. Viktor is apparently extremely interested in making sure Jayce can't leave him again, no matter how long it takes him to see the vision.

Synaptic Integration

Kinetex Machina/Zenith Games Jayce Friends to Lovers, sports but dumber because Jayce invented it and I refuse to believe that isn't weirdly cringeworthy

Jayce decides that after years of backing out and denying himself out of fear of rejection or ruining their friendship, if he wins this year's Zenith Games he has to ask out his primary sports physician and augment technician. Viktor just wants to know why Jayce is being so weird so close to a game.

Patina-Concrete Canvas (Street Demons). A year after his death, Jayce has settled into his afterlife in Styxbridge City. He's content to people watch and admire the street art even if he's lonely-At least until he catches his favorite artist, an anonymous tagger known only by the moniker MetalIsPerfection, in the act.

Hybrid Vigor-Prehistoric Hunters. Jayce and Viktor's herds meet before crossing a dangerous valley and instantly click.

Panacea-Zombies vs Slayers. During a supply run to get new tools Viktor is bitten. The party splits three ways; Jinx and Atreus want to leave him locked in a room so they don't have to kill him and he can turn as peacefully as one can ask for. Viktor is in favor of swallowing all his medication so he can at least go out on his own terms. Jayce finds both of those plans completely unacceptable.

Champy!-Team Fight Tactics Inspired (Chibi Machine Herald & Chibi Jayce Giopara). Chibi Jayce notices that there's a new tactician, Chibi Viktor! He seems to be struggling a little, so Jayce takes it upon himself to show him the ropes. Unfortunately the new champy finds him extremely annoying.

Alloy-Xeno. Jayce and Viktor, a pair of kaiju in a symbiotic relationship with each other, live peacefully near Alloy City, a place happy to accompany them and include them in the identity of the city. Things change when Viktor gets sick from the pollution around the city so Jayce decides to move back to his mother's territory so he can recover-He just has to get through the areas occupied by more aggressive kaiju. (Most of the other characters are not necessarily antagonistic kaiju and no one's going to get decapitated Godzilla v Ghidorah style. The worst injury that's currently planned is off screen)

Synaptic Integration-Kinetex Machina (Zenith Games Jayce). Jayce decides that after years of backing out and denying himself out of fear of rejection or ruining their friendship, if he wins this year's Zenith Games he has to ask out his primary sports physician and augment technician. Viktor just wants to know why Jayce is being so weird so close to a game.

Prosopagnosia-Superheros (Superhero Jayce). By day, Jayce has a lot going for him; he's the inventor of Hextech, the face of his own brand, and he thinks that the co-founder of Hextech, his best friend, his soulmate if he had to guess, is finally warming up to the idea of Jayce taking him out to dinner-That is until his heroic alter ego swoops in and wins him over first. His life might actually be a joke.

19th AU Fic

Wow there are a lot of these to get through- As usual just vote on the one you like the most out of these options based on your favorite skin or the descriptions beneath the cut. If two of them tie, I'll do a tie breaker poll with further descriptions of the conceit of the fic and link the wiki page for that universe. (If it's a universe made by yours truly then I'll explain the concept a little more in depth) The winner will earn the 19th spot in a fic series you can read on AO3 or find linked here on Tumblr. If you vote please reblog the poll so others can see it, but it's fine if you don't. :] Additionally if you go read said fics you'll see that you can vote with a comment for your favorite! The winner will get a guaranteed continuation and some "cover art" (AO3 doesn't really have covers so it will kind of just be at the beginning of the first chapter and posted here on Tumblr. Sorry).

Superhero Jayce skin upcoming (I wish he was less ugly good god- Also who let him name himself Hextech Man? I don't consider myself particularly cruel but that's such a loser name dude. Vi named herself the Crimson Fist. She couldn't help him out by doing a little constructive criticism before he debut that?), still waiting on the wiki to be just a little more clear on what Soul Fighter Viktor's deal is.

Patina-Concrete Canvas (Street Demons). Jayce, a ghost "living" in Styxbridge City, admires the graffiti of his favorite street artist, an anonymous tagger known only by the moniker MetalIsPerfection. He's lonely but content to keep to himself and people watch-Until he catches the most beautiful person he's ever seen literally red handed at a tag.

Hybrid Vigor-Prehistoric Hunters. Viktor is the weakest and sickest member of his herd, always aware of it even if no one admonishes him for it. Jayce is expected to take his father's place in his own herd, but he's never wanted it for himself and it does not come naturally to him.

Slumber-Failed Arcane Timeline (Mage Viktor/Petrified Jayce). Viktor, after millennia of isolation only broken up by witnessing the agony of so many versions of the person he wants back most, at his hand no less, is interrupted by a far younger Herald of the Arcane. He's admittedly very interested to figure out how this one got so far without him ever commandeering his Jayce to stop him-Even more so when this Herald doesn't seem to have very grandiose plans...Actually is it cruel of him to call this particular Herald of the Arcane kind of underwhelming?

Tie Breaker Poll

The 17th AU poll tied between the Psyops AU and the Zenith Games AU, which was pretty surprising to me because usually Battlecast completely stomps both of them.

Amygdala

Psyops/Black Rose Group Viktor Strangers to Lovers, modern AU, newly disabled Viktor, domestic setting (relatively speaking)

While establishing a lab in the arctic to study a strange rift he believes can change the world for the better, Viktor is severely injured and forced to take medical leave. He's relocated to a quaint little town with nothing going on and virtually no risk of being found, but also no access to technological or pharmaceutical assistance for controlling his psionic abilities, leaving everyone's mind open to him, wether he likes it or not. Between "taking it easy" on his leg, the flood of unprotected minds, and his suspension, Viktor genuinely considers it torture. The only saving grace of his leave is his new neighbor, a handsome civie who's taken it upon himself to help Viktor feel at home-And who's mind has such a consistent stream of consciousness that it just becomes white noise.

Concrete Canvas. Jayce is an admirer of a local tagging artist, MetalIsPerfection, in a city populated by ghosts, ghouls, demons, and cryptids. No one has any idea who the artist is, until Jayce catches the most beautiful person he's ever seen red handed at a tag in progress.

Prehistoric Hunters. In a world dominated by megafauna and dinosaurs, two tribes meet in the same canyon and find safety in numbers as they cross a vast, open field, but are still wary of each other, and what lurks in the tall grass. Viktor, the weakest and sickest member of his herd, happens to bond with Jayce, who's struggling under the pressure of taking his father's place.

Zombies vs Slayers. Jayce and Viktor go out to find tools and supplies in a mall. Viktor is bitten by a zombie, and their survival group fractures-Jinx and Atreus want to ditch him before he can turn, and Jayce refuses to go along with it. Viktor is for the plan of swallowing all his medication, at least until Jayce points out that he's passed the typical gestation period of the virus and isn't showing signs of infection.

TFT Inspired. Chibi Viktor is a new tactician, a multiverse traveling being that collects champions to fight against other tactician's champions. Chibi Jayce notices he's having some difficulty with the learning curve, and being the wonderful and gracious champie Jayce is, he decides to take Viktor under his wing. Viktor is trying really hard to be appropriately grateful but Jayce is so smug that he really wants to shove him off the carousel every time they're on it together.

Xeno. Jayce and Viktor are a pair of symbiotic kaiju living peacefully near Alloy City, blissfully ignoring the territory disputes of other kaiju and fear from other humans. Viktor has been pretty under the weather due to the pollution coming from the city, so Jayce decides to move back to his mother's territory to leave him with her until he can find somewhere for them both to stay-He just has to do it without upsetting the more aggressive kaiju.

Minecraft. This one will use the lore and aesthetic of Minecraft but not really the blockiness. Viktor and Jayce wake up in a cherry blossom grove with no memory of how they got there.

Stardew Valley. Jayce Talis the public figure was well known and beloved in Zuzu city, but Jayce Talis the person feels like no one understands him at all, and is desperate for a way out of his life as a celebrity. When he receives a letter stating that he's inherited a plot of land nearby a rural county called Pelican Town, he doesn't hesitate to take the chance-However what he thought was going to be a chance to connect with his family's roots and get away from city life quickly turns into lots of farm work, battling slimes for carrots, completing quests for apple spirits, and having loud arguments with jojamart employees.

Concrete Canvas. Jayce is an admirer of a local tagging artist, MetalIsPerfection, in a city populated by ghosts, ghouls, demons, and cryptids. No one has any idea who the artist is, until Jayce catches the most beautiful person he's ever seen red handed at a tag in progress.

Prehistoric Hunters. In a world dominated by megafauna and dinosaurs, two tribes meet in the same canyon and find safety in numbers as they cross a vast, open field, but are still wary of each other, and what lurks in the tall grass. Viktor, the weakest and sickest member of his herd, happens to bond with Jayce, who's struggling under the pressure of taking his father's place.

Toy Box. After a very public breakdown and attempt at self harm, Caitlyn and Ximena decide to fill the hole his best friend's death left in his life. Jayce is less than ecstatic at the thing walking around his house, wearing his best friend's face.

Zombies vs Slayers. Jayce and Viktor go out to find tools and supplies in a mall. Viktor is bitten by a zombie, and their survival group fractures-Jinx and Atreus want to ditch him before he can turn, and Jayce refuses to go along with it. Viktor is for the plan of swallowing all his medication, at least until Jayce points out that he's passed the typical gestation period of the virus and isn't showing signs of infection.

TFT Inspired. Chibi Viktor is a new tactician, a multiverse traveling being that collects champions to fight against other tactician's champions. Chibi Jayce notices he's having some difficulty with the learning curve, and being the wonderful and gracious champie Jayce is, he decides to take Viktor under his wing. Viktor is trying really hard to be appropriately grateful but Jayce is so smug that he really wants to shove him off the carousel every time they're on it together.

Xeno. Jayce and Viktor are a pair of symbiotic kaiju living peacefully near Alloy City, blissfully ignoring the territory disputes of other kaiju and fear from other humans. Viktor has been pretty under the weather due to the pollution coming from the city, so Jayce decides to move back to his mother's territory to leave him with her until he can find somewhere for them both to stay-He just has to do it without upsetting the more aggressive kaiju.

Minecraft. This one will use the lore and aesthetic of Minecraft but not really the blockiness. Viktor and Jayce wake up in a cherry blossom grove with no memory of how they got there.

13th AU Fic

Battlecast (Creator/Resistance)

Rift Quest (Bright Hammer/Dungeon Master)

Psyops

Kinetex Machina (Zenith Games)

Lunar New Year (Petals of Spring)

Battlecast (Creator Viktor/Resistance Jayce). The Glorious Evolution is here! You're either with it willingly or with it by force, and the Resistance is fighting against Viktor's vast army of robots imbued with souls to keep their humanity. A Nasus bot finally brings Jayce to Viktor after months of searching, and Viktor decides that he can't risk Jayce escaping. (And not just because Jayce knows way too much about the inner workings of his operations.)

Psyops. This group includes the Psyops, Black Rose Group, and Arctic Warfare skin lines. A semi-modern setting in which multiple governments or more illicit groups invest in develop psionic abilities in their operatives to carry out special-ops missions which are somewhat ill defined. These psychic abilities range from mind reading to speaking with the dead, and operatives are morally grey at best. After an injury in action leaves Viktor on an involuntary medical leave, he goes back to his home town, sentenced to the misery of self regulating his psionic abilities and being bored all at once. The good news is that he meets a cute civie who's not only good looking, but also smart, kind, and funny. The bad news is that his civie is the brother of the enemy operative who shot him in the leg.

Rift Quest (Jayce Brighthammer/Dungeon Master Viktor). Rift Quest is a table top game universe similar to Dungeons and Dragons. Jayce is a paladin (My best guess is Oath of Devotion) and Viktor technically doesn't have a skin here, as he was intended to have a dungeon master skin but it was scrapped before its release. Jayce hits zero hit points and wakes up in a black void, with only a strange masked figure calling himself the "Dungeon Master" who tells him he has two choices to leave; Let him accompany Jayce, or roll three 20 sided dice and let the results determine if he'll survive or need to "roll up a new character sheet", whatever that means.

Kinetex Machina (Zenith Games Jayce). In a not so far future where augmentations are normalized and often used to push the limits of what's possible for a human, every four years the Zenith Games are held to boost optimism in its viewers. Also apparently Jayce invented a sport to showcase the augmentations he invented, so that's extremely embarrassing for him. Jayce is building up the courage to ask out his augment technician, and decides that if he wins he has to ask him out. Viktor is busy with the work that comes with being mid season.

Lunar New Year (Petals of Spring Jayce). Under the direction of the Herald of Spring, a garden fueled by the memories of mortals is carefully tended and defended from monsters born of the fears and darkest memories of humanity.
