#Jayce 'wanted to make a right choice' but he will probably cause everything bad and make Viktor change and abandon humanity

[midnightcatharsis]

Imagine this scenario: Jayce thinks he needs to kill Viktor to prevent a tragedy caused by Viktor changed into an emotionless villain robot who looks down on humanity. He goes to where the members of the cult/commune live with a hammer just like in the show and just like in the show Viktor invites him in without even caring whether he has a hextech weapon. Jayce is fully set on killing him, his hand closes on the hammer but then he sees Viktor and hesitates. Viktor was even more beautiful than before, his face still fully human not hidden behind the mask, his eyes fully human. Expressive emotions visible on his face and in his eyes.  He's so, so much different from the machine Viktor from the future that Jayce has seen.  That one was cold, this one before him is happy, excited that he can see Jayce and share his knowledge and dream with him. But Jayce knows he has to kill him, his hand on a hammer again… yet he still can't force himself to do it. Viktor greets him, and Jayce can't respond. How can someone like Vik before his eyes change into the Machine Herald? How does someone like that who still cares about humanity (maybe Jayce has seen Vander) change like that?? And then he slowly realizes… what if he never changed? What if it was a self-fulfilling prophecy? His eyes widen and he remembers all that he knows about the hexcore and arcane he recalls that the hexcore is learning and adapting, evolving really, and that it can revive itself… Of course, since it's constantly adapting it must mean that after reviving it would want to eliminate what caused its destruction… emotion and humanity. After all they were the reason why Viktor allowed himself to be vulnerable near Jayce. It is trust that makes him so easy to approach and attack... and kill. He starts to think that perhaps he did murder Viktor in the previous timeline and this event was what caused the hexcore to change in the way that allowed for the tragedy to happen and for Viktor to become a villain… Jayce decides not to kill him ever again, instead, he tells him what he saw and talks to him which in the end results in them teaming up to find a different way to destroy the hexcore while not killing all the people already healed by it… Or something like that.

I really need a fix-it

Jayce Talis

Okay so here is an actual analysis on Jayce Talis. Sorry my initial post turned into something else.

Jayce Talis aka “The Golden Boy” is a man of love and sacrifice to his core. He is a genius inventor and great spokesperson. He understand himself well enough to know what he wants and won’t stop until he gets it, yet it is this determination that will be his ultimate undoing. Throughout season 1 we explore his love of magic, his genuine want to help people and his impulsivity. I always found it weird how quickly the fandom labeled him as dumb just because he is naive. First naive ≠ dumb and quite frankly he is not as naive as yall portray him as nor is he easily manipulated. An apt description would be foolhardy. Listen this may sound un-nuanced but that boy was doing what ever he wanted😭. We first see him basically tampering with illegal contraband which caused an explosion (it’s not his fault) like come on that could have killed someone (it did in the AU). He was literally the personification of ask for forgiveness not permission😂.People bring up the fact that baby Ekko scammed him and well yeah but also no. For one he probably wasn’t spending his own money, it was the Kirramans. Two given what he was trying to do what’s not to say that those items were still severely undervalued and he was getting the steal. Jayce does not care what he has to do, he’s gonna get what he needs. If Jayce believes in what he is doing then there is no stopping him. We see this hastiness when he is made a council member. The amount of times Mel or Heimerdinger told him one thing and he would do the opposite was actually kind of funny. The only thing Jayce listened to in the heat of the moment was his heart. I think it’s important to stress that I find Jayce is only really like this in high stress/stakes scenarios. When the show gives him a moment to think he will make a level headed decision. Now I’m not saying Jayce did not get manipulated, cause he did. Marcus got to him about that damn barricade, but again that was a high stress scenario don’t make it right but it should put stuff into context. Jayce throughout the show is giving impossible choices, that he must make the possible happen. He wants to help and will do his best to but doesn’t realize that sometimes the best thing he can do is listen and realize perhaps he can not be the one to save the day.

Love him or hate him, yall have got to recognize him first. He is the bright eyed idealist who must grapple with the reality that maybe not everything is possible. He fights with the fact in all the good in the world the ability to do bad must be taken into account. He is a person whose journey is not of finding himself but of maturing to understand who you are to others ( this one sounds sooo corny). He is the “Man of Progress”, “Defender of Tomorrow”, the extremes of idealized progress.

This is not the last Jayce Talis analysis post you’ll see on here but im tired and hate typing for too long. I’ll probably post more on him and where his character went in season 2 another time.

Ps I’m seeing online yall calling Jayce a people pleaser. From the explanations I’ve seen… yeah I’m a have to disagree with that one. Obviously I haven’t seen them all so I could be wrong.
