guys is it gay to gently cling on to your partner after discovering you’re destined to be soulmates in every universe for the purpose of dying hand in hand

YOU GUYS JUST SEEN THAT SHIT RIGHT

jayce chose to stay with viktor I cannot take this

[oddp1ant]

Talking here instead of in the tags on this post because. My head is steaming.

This version of Viktor is 1) human and 2) older. In my dream reality, this implies that the de-arcanified version of Viktor we see at the end of ep 9 survives, regains physical form but is forever changed by the arcane = a mage, who eventually travels through time/realities to give Jayce the guidance he needs as a child and in the post-apocalypse wasteland, effectively securing the timeline in which he (and the rest of the world or w/e) survives, making it a closed loop. I like to think Jayce is with him for most of it, both of them figuring out their new magical interdimensional existence together.

Ofc, the take I've been seeing most of so far is that Jayce and Viktor were both destroyed in that final moment. I mean yeah, being at the center of hexcrystal/gem/shard activity like that tends to do that to people, as we've been repeatedly shown, but they were also in the weird metaphysical arcane-space when it happened so I'm honestly not sure the same principles apply. If that is the end for them, I guess mage-Viktor was just a product of some other reality where that was the trajectory for him, who due to his magic was able to see all the infinite Bad timelines and took it upon himself to interfere with this one to prevent them, likely nullifying his own and himself in the process. This is cool too, but makes mage-Viktor feel a bit like a random Deus ex machina since we have very little sense of where he came from or how he became what he is.

I may be delusional, but I feel like there's hope in Jayce's face when he sees mage-Viktor. Seeing him human again, seeing him older (something I am personally in tears over - Viktor getting to grow old ;;;;) seems to give him hope that there's a way back, AND a way forward for them!!! Idk. I'm crazy.

Edit to add: I guess my mind skipped over the option that mage-Viktor is the post-apocalyptic reality's Viktor, who presumably went full glorious evolution, saw that it sucked, and somehow turned himself back to a human form. I guess that lessens the Deus ex machina issue and is also very cool bc we love a villain who spends a thousand years bored and lonely in the desolate wasteland of their own creation until deciding the only way to fix this involves timefuckery and empowering the heroes to take you down before it can happen. There's something so "go sit in the corner until you've calmed down" about it. Also implies that Viktor had the ability to come back to himself even without Jayce, but not before it's too late. Always preventing each other from stepping off the ledge at the last moment, these guys.

Idk which theory I prefer, I think I'll have thoughts about this show until I die

[lefttoesucker]

Arcane writers are evil people who all want me dead

[hexcrispy]

the way viktor and jayce clung on to each other as they died intertwined……. oh god……

[jupyt3r]

NO BUT DONT YOU SEE

It's just like Viktor said. A singularity, simultaneously self-replicating and self-annihilating. Viktor and Jayce make each other who they are- Viktor is the mage who gives Jayce the hex crystal, and Jayce creates the Machine Herald out of his desperation to save his partner. But they destroy each other in the end. Or they start the cycle over again. Or maybe they unify into a single glorious mind. They're doomed but jayvik nation WE STILL WON

[withersage]

jayvik nation we won but at what cost

#jayvik nation

We truly are bravest warriors

We survived a "he is like my brother". We survived a het sex scene. We survived the Sky thing.

We lost every battle.

And won the war.
