Ngl I sometimes hate the arcane fandom for their general view surrounding jayce.

Don't get me wrong I love meljay, I love jayvik but Gosh it seems like this is the only thing the fandom talks about that includes jayce.

I am tired, could we please talk about jayce as a character. Can we talk about how well written he was in season 1, how he was thrusted into politics and tried to get down and slovenly the corruption just to get swallowed by it? Can we talk about how the moment he sees the violence and sees just 1 situation of how piltover failed the undercity, he immediately went into action trying to do what he believed was right and give zaun independence?

Can we talk about how he has always been presented as a healer and a fixer, but sometimes his own care damages the thing he wanted to protect? Can we talk about how a lot of his time, as a character, he is mostly put out of his element. We mainly see big jayce moments when he is either up and fighting or when he is in the council, and the truth is the guy isn't a fighter and he isn't a Councillor. Jayce is a sicenitist at heart, he is a creator that is constantly put out of his element and so people think he is dumb nut honestly he adapts to everything so quickly it's insane and I don't think the fandom picks up on it enough.

I am tired of this. I know the jayce hate isn't as bad as it was in season 1 because I was there in season 1. I was there in the trenches where people used to call jayce a trump supporter in season 1 on Twitter. But the mischaractersiation still sucks and it seems like his character only revolves around ships, and I hate it.

*inhales* I KNOW RIGHT!

Literally. It truly feels like a lot of people only care about Jayce as an extension of the ships he's in, whether its Jayvik or Meljay. Rather than caring about him as a character.

It is the most irritating thing when the fandom reduces a character to simply being the ships that they are a part of. I hate how people treat him in this fandom.

Not to mention that a lot of the content for those ships feel very sexual or sexualized in general. And there's not anything inherently bad about that, and there are people who write it very well. But given that the fandom seems to really sexualize Jayce and how many people only started to like him when he got "hotter". It feels like... a lot and kind of gross at times... And than there's the whole "Jayce is a sub/bottom" and it really feels like people reduce him to being only that, when there's WAY MORE to him then that.

I should reiterate that if you like sub/bottom Jayce that is perfectly fine. I’m not trying to come off like you can’t enjoy that. Or saying that you can’t make sexual content with Jayce or of the ships he’s a part of. But when there is very blatant sexualization of Jayce and disregard for his character to the point that that's all people talk about with him. To the point that that is all they reduce him to. It paints a very bad picture and starts to leave a bad taste in my mouth.

And I'm also not saying that his devotion and capacity to love isn't a good character trait to talk about. But he has other character traits to talk about too... He is more than just his devotion and his relationships...

I am also very tired. Jayce is my favorite character in Arcane. And it just feels like people only see him as a "pretty face" or just an extension of shipping with other characters. Its very disheartening.

Like with all of the things that you have wonderfully listed above, there is so much to talk about with Jayce and his overall character in the show. He is very well-written in season 1, and is one of the smartest characters in the whole show in how he practically figured out a majority of creating a whole new branch of science on his own with no help from anyone. I really wish that part of his character got more attention because people discredit him so much by saying he's a himbo or acting Viktor was the only genius of the two of them.

I am not saying that everyone has to like him or that he's perfect by any means, but the way that people mischaracterize him and just don't afford him the same decency they do with other characters is just sad and annoying to see.

If you don't like him, that's fine. He does not have to be your most favorite character in the world. But don't make up reasons for why he's the worst or mischaracterize him just so you can viscerally hate on him. Or sexualize him to the point that you strip him of all of his other character traits and reduce him to nothing more than a ship.

I cannot believe there's absolutely no way to watch free shows and movies anymore, there are too many paid streaming platforms and pirating websites have viruses and ads preventing you from watching it uninterrupted((.)) id rather follow the rules and purchase media moving forward because it is too inconvenient. Seriously, free and no ads or viruses with 1080p streaming is DEAD.

I don't like how it turned out, but let it be

[jazz-penguin]

I really like fictional couples that actually enjoy spending time with each other. It seems like such a simple, mundane thing. But, often, I see fictional couples who are completely enamored and dramatic and willing to die for each other, which is fine. But like… do they enjoy hanging out? Do they have private jokes and would they be friends even if they weren’t in love? It feels like such a basic thing, but it’s something that I actually don’t see that often. And it feels so refreshing and honest compared to these over-dramatic romeo and juliet-esque romances. Just two people who become good friends and because they enjoy each other’s presence so much it grows into a strong attraction. It feels more real and tangible than two attractive people meeting and “falling in love at first sight” - like, of course, you fell in love at first sight! You’re both supermodels! Sorry, can’t relate.
