In Defense of Jayce

So I'm a HUGE fan of Viktor and I am also so devastated about what happened to the family reunion between Vander, Jinx and Vi. But I think something sus is going on and Jayce has a valid reason. I mean we got to keep in mind that this guy definitely saw something in the void as we see here.

Everytime he finds someone in Viktor's commune, it flickers to this weird empty shell of a creature, so maybe this is their true form.

Another thing people have been complaining about is also that Viktor seemed to trust that Jayce wouldn't shoot him, that's why he didn't move. But what if it's the opposite? What if Viktor trusted him to shoot?

What if that look is lowkey a plea for Jayce to end it? There's so many clues to that, such as Jayce saying "I won't miss this time". What if this was a look of anticipation?

Keep in mind as well that Viktor made Jayce promise to destroy the hexcore and this is Jayce keeping that promise. Viktor even broke up with him left Piltover after he realized Jayce saved him but at the cost of that promise. Viktor also knew that Jayce was not in the "right" mind, but he didn't even try to convince Jayce during the scene where he took over Salo.

I also think Viktor's dialogue at the end of ep 6 could be interpreted both ways (i.e. two sides of the same coin as he mentions). He says that humanity is the cause of failure in the commune, but it's also the reason the commune exists. On the contrary, this could also be applied to hextech. It is the reason the commune flourishes, but it also leads to its downfall.

He also says that which inspires us to our greatest good is the cause of our greatest evil, which may also hint at Jayce's actions in both this episode and in episode 1 of season 2. Perhaps he wants to achieve the greatest good - destroying the hexcore - and in doing so, has to cause his greatest evil - kill his boyfriend partner. This is the reverse of episode 1 of season 2, where he revives Viktor (his greatest good), which leads to the hexcore growing erratic (greatest evil).

I think the writers are leaving a grey area for Jayce and Viktor's actions as a result, hence why I think Jayce killing Viktor definitely has something to do with a "greater good". The two of them are two sides of the same coin, where Jayce inspires and causes Viktor's actions and vice versa.

Idk I might be going out on a limb here but I'm just so excited to see what's really going on with Jayce and Viktor. There's a reason this is saved for the finale.

Jayce's bracelet is one of the most clever examples of symbolism so I'm gonna talk about it :))

At first, the bracelet is presented to us as a symbol of Jayce's dedication to magic. As a child, he would have died an orphan had The Mage not saved him and his mom. The blue crystal he wears on his bracelet is the only physical reminder he has of this event. This is the event that sparked his desire to recreate magic. When Jayce has his research taken away from him and after he's been told he can no longer pursue magic, he takes off his bracelet before trying to kill himself. If he can't have magic in life, he won't have it in death.

But then Viktor arrives, talks Jayce out of it, and gives the bracelet back to Jayce. From this moment on, the bracelet represents his friendship with Viktor and his will to live as well as his devotion to magic. In season two, Jayce touches and fiddles with his bracelet after telling Mel that Viktor once saved his life. Viktor is his best friend, Jayce wouldn't be alive without him, which is why Jayce has to save him, no matter the cost.

After being exposed to the arcane for an extended period of time, we see that the bracelet no longer exists. The crystal on the bracelet is now permanently attached to his skin. Jayce comes back to society, but he isn't the same. He now has an intense determination to destroy all things hextech. He says it's a curse, that it's evil, while talking to Viktor. Before Jayce goes to attack Viktor, when he's on the outside of the commune, we get a shot dedicated to Jayce's wrist. We can see the crystal embedded in his skin. And in the moment he fires at Viktor, we see all three things the bracelet represents realized.
