AU I thought of that is very significant to my mental health.

just thinking about how distraught mel looks when she sees the hextech weapons after promising jayce she wouldn't let the council corrupt his dreams, essentially making all her efforts vain

and viktor's blank face as he sees the blueprints for the weapons, showing that jayce broke his promise not once, by reviving him with the hexcore, but twice.

idk, something about paths diverging or whatever. They left him alone unsupervised for like one day and he does this shit

Whoever made that post that Jayce should be Mel's narrative "dead wife" is a genius because it fits so well. Jayce to Mel represents all the hope and potential she sees in Piltover. When Jayce steps into her life he sparks the breakthrough she'd been waiting for Piltover to truly rise. He's the part of her life where Mel could believe that with hextech she could a build a world out of Noxus' reach and out of her family's legacy of violence.

But that part of her life, that hope she had, died with Jayce and the possibilities he created for her and Piltover. Jayce's death marks the actual end to the chapter of Mel's life that was Piltover, and now she's off to Noxus to start a new one.

The way Jayce says "partner" is exactly how a gay man would call his boyfriend when someone asks if he's got a girlfriend and he doesn't know if they're homophobic or not

As partners

its kinda crazy how the last episode of season 2 tries to paint viktor's fatal flaw as being a perfectionist and supposedly ableist towards himself when his fatal flaw was actually being a not-wanting-to-die-of-super-cancer-ist.

Jayvik redraw based on that one scene from Bladerunner 2049

Have a lot of different thoughts around that finale, good and bad, but these two were the definite high light of Act 3 for me :)

[spicy-apple-pie]

Imagine the Arcane gang all going to a party and Caitlyn and Jayce getting plastered af. Jayce is all over Viktor like “you don’t know how much you mean to me. I owe you my whole life, you’re my best friend and I just want you to know that.”

And Caitlyn bursts into tears and start blubbering about how she thought she was Jayce’s best friend and how she loved him like a brother but Viktor’s replaced her.

And Jayce is crying now like “no! Cait you’re like my other best friend! No one can replace you!”

Vi, slightly buzzed but not too hammered, starts trying to pick a fight with Jayce for making her girlfriend cry.

Jinx is chanting “fight fight fight!” While Ekko and Viktor are trying to separate Jayce and Vi (it’s not going well)

Moral of the story; Pilties can’t handle their liquor.

UM.

WE'RE SO BACK.

i cant stop making these jayvik memes so here take them

[cyberboomer]

pretty sure I saw someone talk about this but I can't find it so... this is meljayvik agenda

Mel going to Viktor's commune after her magic is revealed to her. They bond through being bestowed powers they never asked for, powers they received because people who love them wanted to protect them, save them, because they thought they could, because they never stopped to think if they should... These people's greed and ambition dragged them into something they had no say in, no agency in... And now they feel like strangers in their own bodies, in their own existence, grasping with a completely new reality, the foundations of their worlds shaken to the core.

And missing Jayce still, wondering where he is, if he's okay, without any news, not hearing anything from other people, like he just disappeared...

''Do you... love him ?" Viktor asks, and Mel hears the vulnerability in his voice despite his calm demeanor.

They sit on the edge of the small fountain inside the verdoyant dome of plants and giant flowers, the calm splashing of water soothing their uncertainty.

She doesn't hesitate when she responds.

''I do.''

Viktor nods slowly, eyes on the cog he traces the edges of with his thumb, and Mel feels a pang of sadness from him but also, an understanding, a similar sentiment to the one she bears for Jayce.

''You know...'' she begins with a slight hesitation, watching Viktor's fingers running back and forth on a dent in the metallic object. ''He loved you, too.''

Watercolor irises meet hers, expecting more, waiting for more. Hoping for more.

''And I thought... I thought it was brotherly love, he called you that.'' she smiles tenderly, a soft laugh escaping her mouth. ''But in retrospect, I doubt it was just that.''

She feels Viktor's hope, and an ache too, one that doesn't bear asking the question.

But it's too late, isn't it ?

The air is still in the commune, yet the plants seem to shiver with an imaginary breeze.

Jayce's presence has always been unmistakable to them, a constant in their lives for many years now, and they're just as painfully aware of his absence.

''He'll come back to us.''

Mel's hand rests on Viktor's, pinky finger touching the cog.
