#jfc Jayce

[crazy-pages]

I like to imagine an epilogue scene where Viktor and Jayce are sitting shoulder to shoulder on some beach-like nebula on the astral mind palace.

And then Viktor says, "By the way, fuck you."

"Bwuh?"

"Even fresh off a death world and down half your sanity, you are such a goddamn privileged liberal noble."

"What? I- Viktor, where is this coming from?"

"My disability didn't make me damaged? Was part of who I was and shouldn't be changed? Jayce I was fucking dying from a wasting illness I contracted playing in tainted water from the mines that supplied *your* family's factories. Absolutely fuck you and the hammer you rode in on."

"Well I- I mean ... it sounded like a poetic and affirming line in my head? I meant it in good way?"

"Of that I am absolutely certain."

"Hey what's that supposed to mean?!"

Wheel of Fortune, The Tower, The Emperor

[mvmnbnv]

Why when we get one single female character in the entire history of fictional media who doesn't flirt with men to get what she wants ppl have to twist her being a smartass into a flirty encounter...? I'm gonna kms

[lliftedup]

What the fuck did he see what does this man know

[tacticalgrandma]

I'm still parsing my feelings a Mel stan and like an objective, "was this a good story choice" viewer. But Mel telling Jayce how much she believed in his ideals only for him to immediately try to hit her felt real low. And Mel barely getting an apology from him, not getting any closure with him- idk man to throw in something as heavy as that and then just address it with "I'm sorry I've been an ass"? Like it wouldn't even have had to be Jayce actually doing right by her. Just any form of us seeing Mel mourning the life and world she wanted. Mel being badass and outfoxing Ambessa and the Black Rose was cool and all but there's this sadness with her that we don't see realized at all and it feels dehumanizing to her character in an insulting way.

[starry-nights12]

Look at how this goofy mofo looks at her. I hate him.(affectionate💕)

[binghe-malewife-goals]

Everyday I wake up and wonder wtf are they going to do to Viktor in s2

[avelera]

Ok so after writing my super depressing extended version of the Jayce/Viktor breakup scene in 2.02, I'm sort of have a craving to write a Jayvik fic that:

Lets me play around with their voices until I get them "right", because I actually think Jayce and Viktor are quite unusual characters who buck a lot of male stereotypes and that makes them very interesting and challenging to write (as in, I've rarely see it done "correctly")

Something a bit more "slice of life" from the good ol' days of their early partnership, because hooo boy the events of Season 2 are just really really depressing and I miss early days Viktor when he still had a spark of hope in his eyes jfc

... Shameless smut. What can I say, I have a very specific scene in mind for them and I wanna write it.

Fortunately, think I can make all three of these things work in one fic.

Unfortunately for me, but fortunately for others, I'm 3,000 words into it and they just barely made it out of the lab. My plan is to write the whole thing tonight though, just like I did with "Catch the Fire" so... expect another one-shot soon?

Jayce really said; imma squash this guy like a bug before people get the chance to start thinking thoughts about him.

To slow friend!

(RIP Salo; you were a giant sack of shit, but you had a certain patheticness that intrigued. Especially as a weird playful cultist.)

[whumpedup]

WATCHED SEASON 2 ACT 3 INITIAL THOUGHTS BELOW

Pros: Jayce has a bad time during his trip through the arcane, Jayce's gorgeous black outfit, Mel's badass mage powers and gorgeous gold mage tattoos, JAYCE AND VIKTORS ARCANE LOVE CONFESSION, Ekko being awesome and adorable and badass, eldritch space Jayce and Viktor, Viktor desperately wanting Jayce to join him, Cait and Vi live (they didn't kill my lesbians thank christ), Zaun showing up at the eleventh hour in a needless but fantastic entrance, Caitlin letting Jinx go for Vi and to stop the cycle of hate

Cons: Jinx not getting to actually have a redemption without being killed needlessly at the very fucking end, Vander "dying" 4 fucking times omg let him rest jfc, Jayce's final outfit design, The face designs on the sides of Viktor's mask in his final design, Singed's dumb daughter plot they stole from another LOL character and didn't do anything with

I'm sure a lot of Jayvik people will be upset how they went out but thematically them ending hextech together like they started made a lot of sense. Also they gave me an amazing ending scene of them together so I am very pleased by this.

I am LIVID that they killed Jinx like it was the final step on their writing to do list. It was unnecessary and like the whole point of stopping her killing herself was about continuing on even when you've made mistakes and trying to make things better. And then you just have her kill herself at the end. FUCKING LIVID.

Overall I didn't like the last two episodes that much but the final fight and the end, minus Jinx, were pretty satisfying. And while I'm bummed they went the full arcane route for Viktor instead of tech I at least like some of the interesting things they did with it.

I'm very excited for all the aus that will hopefully come out of this!

(Please talk to me about Arcane, my dms and askbox are open)

[vole-mon-amour]

1x07, part 1.

Her little smile and his embrace. <3 He needed that.

And then he does, and he can run on his own, and he and Jayce are supposed to be enemies then. :(

He puts too much faith into Jayce. For better or for worse, he loves him. :(

Yet, he doesn't know where Viktor is. I'm so mad at him. :(

I like how loyal Sevika is to Silco. She calls him "Sir" gives advices. She sees a true leader in her and she cares.

YOU've had a lot on YOUR plate? Viktor is literally DYING. This isn't about you, you silly privileged boy. Jfc.

T h e y.

It took me ridiculously long to notice, but look at his tie. Look at his clothes. He looks amazing.

Calling the only person he truly loves his dog... oh, they're going to regret that in a minute. :) I love this scene because he deals so wonderfully and so in character with it. He's a great villain.

I like how even Sevika has to wear a mask and how for him it's a good signal. But while everyone is coughing, he gives his speech and he's breathing just fine.

He needs to take just ONE long breath while Finn is literally suffocating. Makes you wonder how resilient Silco truly is. And how much of that is the result on Vander trying to kill him & that he now has to take shots for his eye/immune system.

Here we go again. Totally platonic father and daughter relationship. x)

She tortures him & he lets her. She sits in his lap & he lets her. She insults him & he lets her. There's no one else he would allow to treat himself that way.

This one particularly gets me because she's almost sitting on his crotch and the zoom in happens on his reaction, on his hand, and I'm sorry, I can't see this as completely platonic. This is possessive and toxic and the line between parenting and romance is very much blurred.

The wrist touch. How vulnerable she immediately becomes.

arcane ii act 3 thoughts

... well that went splat

7.

well at least we know where ekko went. the monkey's paw finger curls.

so he was literally in the spiderverse. jfc.

ekko's journey to an alternate dimension was cool. but was it necessary. the way he and heimer construct the z-drive was clever, but could we have done it in another way. did we need to spend all this time in a fanfic when the rest of the story's so rushed. maybe this could've worked if arcane had 3-4 seasons instead of 2 but not at this point.

the way i was waiting for some revelation that ekko was tripping like mel was and it just. didn't come. nope, magical au where it was all okay.

think i dislike timebomb now actually. the chemistry and the general concept of them as a couple are cute but the way the execution of this ship totally cannibalized ekko as a character pisses me off. like how the hell is 'i wish i could have kissed jinx' his main plotline when silco's death, the power vacuum, the zaun-piltover war, the death of his tree and his followers ditching him for jinx was all Right There. but no, we need to angst over how he wishes he could have gotten a girlfriend, and that would have Fixed Everything about his life.

(why is this ship gwiles flavored to me. like I Know people are gonna compare them as a bm/ww swirl ship where the girl wears a dress and leather jacket in one scene, and wow you’re right! ekko and gwen both have their much more interesting arcs totally consumed in the second installment by a romance that's based on fleeting feelings from a long time ago focused on someone who fundamentally isn't that person anymore! and just like jinx, gwen fundamentally wouldn’t give a fuck about him!)

(why does this sequence feel like something btsv might pull, but in a more malegazey way.)

.... i don't even really believe jinx likes him back. like i've only ever gotten the indication that it's onesided. this whole alternate universe feels like a fantasy.

"you want me to change?" yes. literally. he does.

at least 'pretend like it's the first time' makes the kiss less creepy.

(... does alt powder even realize that he's from an alternate dimension. like did he even tell her. she's helping him get home so clearly she knows something.)

... like. again. if we had more time, diving into ekko's emotional crutch of a crush on her-- if he had a few episodes to actually interact with her and have those feelings fuck things up-- and giving him time to unpack and surrender it could have been cool! especially if he had to be conflicted about jinx accidentally taking the savior of zaun role he'd spent years working towards! but not at the cost of all the other more important things about him!

anyway it's funny that jayce is in a survival horror game while all that's happening.

heimerdinger playing that yeehaw ass song as jayce is dragging his hammer through hell? idk the dissonance between those things was funny. that harmonica was JAMMING.

anyway fwiw i like the z drive being built. i just really dislike that we had to take a whole narrative detour to do it.

def getting the vibe that vander and silco fuck in the Good Timeline. no yuri, so yaoi instead. ah, balance.

heimer dying there was fine. no notes.c

mel going through the Horrors. looks cool! if we had any indication that this was where her story was going in s1, or an additional season to get there, it would make more sense. an empath who can sense others' magic. okay. could we have gotten any foreshadowing of this.

same with ambessa's beef with the sorcerers. thanks. could you have set this up. no? then maybe you should have picked a different plot.

mel needing the plot bluntly explained to her is such a step down from how arcane used to impart its exposition. wish she could have figured it out on her own.

8.

so mel coming back doesn't lead to any political implications. did we forget she's a politician first.

the way mama bear ambessa didn't lift a finger to locate her missing daughter. guess that didn't matter either.

cait and jinx burying their hate of each other so fast was so disappointing. i get that jinx getting vi back fixed that for her, but man the promise of lesbian sex really made cait drop her love of her mom just like that.

the glorious evolution storyline's the only one that feels like we're actually seeing what was intended but it being so accelerated to hijack what should've been a Season Of War is still disappointing.

jinx being at absolute rock bottom in that cell with her hair unraveled. cool image. hate that isha is the cause of this and not jinx running out of crashout steam after silco died and she got sucked into being jinx of arc. love that this is when silco finds her. think it's kinda funny that he's saying ~just forgive~ see thats how you know he's just a fucking hallucination.

the way vi trying to hug jinx could have felt so impactful if they didn't already make up an act ago.

the way the viktorbot invasion causing piltover and zaun to get into a get along shirt could have been neat. if we got to see. piltover and zaun. actually duke it out.

jayce's whole speech feels so empty. ok babe. you were in the shadow realm for years but you sure know what's going on here.

'let's just get along' being the answer with piltover honestly expecting the people they've been gassing to want to help, and zaun Being The Bigger Person for putting aside civilization-wide generational trauma. i expected it but i still hate it.

caitvi fucking in jinx's jail cell. oh yeah they're never gonna beat the allegations that this is a throuple.

the fumbling! love that detail. i'm so annoyed about the arc of their romance but i can turn my brain off for a second.

biggest animated show in the world had its main couple be lesbians who eat pussy on screen. no excuses for anyone else. looking at you spiderverse gwen better ditch miles for a woman.

see this is why i have issues with arcane using pop songs. vi's eating cait out and the lyrics randomly mention america. they don't have a concept of what america is. i hate that this distracted me.

The Rose. man could this season have been stronger if they just didn't use this brand new ultimate villain bc there was no time to develop it. they could've just teased it and made the mages the main villains of the next arcane series.

ambessa using viktor's bots... idk man given how much she hates magic and praises equality on the battlefield this just feels incoherent

sky finally free of being viktor's magical conscience. thank god.

no ekko in ep 8. well him being the best character in the show is guaranteed look what happens when he isn't around.

9.

hate the ep 9 Montage. "~jinx is suicidal~'' thanks we get it! the way this could have been so much more impactful if we just sat with the character without a fucking vocaloid telling us what we already know.

ekko stopping jinx mid-suicide? k that was cool. mostly i'm grateful to him for turning off the damn music.

skipping ekko returning to zaun and seeing all the crazy shit that's gone down so he can have a moment with jinx? yeah sounds about fucking right.

not even him processing that she's still alive after the bridge fight. ok.

extremely funny that she keeps trying to kill herself. bro she just isn't into you. i wish this energy for gwen and miles. kill yourself in front of him repeatedly to change the trajectory of his life.

skipping straight to the noxian invasion. man did this need more episodes. they're playing this emotional music and i'm just like. sloooow. down.

know what would have been so much more fucking interesting than zaun Being The Bigger Person? zaun deciding to sit out the invasion or help the invaders. guess not.

maddie being a traitor works. she had that vibe right from the start and i know the caitvis are popping bottles over it. the way she's about to become The most hated character.

the way mel standing up against ambessa means nothing because she isn't using the political maneuvering we spent a whole season watching her use and is in fact using the type of force she was so against by letting cait beat her ass and relying on magic instead of diplomacy. the way mel essentially became what her mother wanted her to be, while declaring that she definitely isn't.

well jinx's gwenom hood looks neat. and her making her lair into an airship was at least set up.

but my god. could we fucking. see. ekko talk her down and convince her to live. could we see her and ekko bury the hatchet and agree to work together. could we fucking see ekko learn what the hell happened while he was gone. could we fucking see him co-lead the firelights with jinx. could we see them recruit sevika. could we fucking see that instead of skipping to the aftermath? like is he even participating in the climax as the leader of the firelights, or as jinx's boyfriend.

the way jinx showing up for vi doesn't mean as much as it could because they're already on good terms.

the airship fight with warwick was at least cool.

so was the zero g fight.

jayce vs viktor and ekko getting to spam his z drive-- especially using the instability of going past the four-second rule to essentially turn it into a grenade-- work great. at least some things paid off.

yeah sorry mel but jayce is gay as hell how else do you explain this scene with viktor.

so no one's gonna talk about isha dying. ok. that kid truly was just a plot device to make jinx happy, then sad. she could've been a puppy.

not that the dialogue in this act wasn't flowery and overwritten.

jinx dying/'dying'... well i knew she was suicidal and that with everyone coming for her, it just wasn't gonna end well. still don't like the vibe of the 'rediscover your love for life! then die!' ending esp after she gets talked off the ledge.

lol I guess she really doesn’t give a fuck about ekko. sure she’ll use him to save her sister, after that ?✌️

even if she didn't die, she still dipped without saying goodbye. she does. not. care. about him.

i do like that jinx making the decision to let go of vi after being unable to let go of anything all series long is what closes off her arc. just wish we hadn't already skipped to the reconciliation in ii.

oh my god turn off the jukebox though

and the message decay from ‘inequality will yield a cycle of pain and destruction’ to ‘wanna break the cycle? Kill yourself!’ Is… oh that’s bad

is it slightly implied that she lives? Yes. is she symbolically dead? Yes.

so the last thing we see of ekko is him mourning jinx. so he literally just is jinx's boyfriend in the end. okay. oh my god bro you have to move on

so nothing about the firelight tree dying? okay.

sevika getting one line the whole act doesn't sit well with me.

or zaun getting One Seat on the council. yeah that'll fuckin work out.

cait's new eyepatch is Great. even hotter. at least we can end on a high note.

i knew s2 wouldn't be as good simply bc it was being produced under a much tighter timeframe with far more expectations from the studio and the fandom, but jeez. i didn't think it would be Bad.

yeah uh. overall:

pretty to look at.

the central conflict of jinx vs vi mirroring zaun vs piltover getting a slapdash rushed conclusion so we can move on to the Bigger Enemy was awful. so many of their interactions in act iii felt emptier because the emotional payoff could've been so much stronger if they hadn't kissed and made up.

the noxian invasion immediately being hijacked by viktor's magic felt like even more of that. could have been cool! why are we skipping past it! this feels like season 3 cannibalized season 2.

like seriously. it felt like s2 was going to be cait-as-big-bad with enforcer vi, accidental joan of arc jinx rising to the top of the zaunite power vacuum with sevika's help, viktor slowly amassing his cult and the zaun-piltover civil war taking center stage with the end revelation that ambessa rigged the whole thing.

and a third season would have explored noxus vs piltover-zaun, with viktor's glorious evolution and the black rose shit taking center stage there.

but we got this instead because riot wanted to wrap this shit up.

jinx's isha detour totally derailed her. the sevika-jinx vs ambessa-cait parallels vanished. i guess nobody still knows she killed silco and that did nothing to enhance her myth to the zaunites. her death/‘death’ made sense but the messaging of ‘just kill yourself to break the cycle’ is so ugly

vi's arc fell apart right as cait's did. vi quit being an enforcer way too quickly and her pitfighter alcoholic arc also resolved too fast.

warwick. i really don't know. i think he's a good catalyst to force the sisters back together but i really don't think the execution works.

cait's arc went up in smoke after act i. from gassing poor people for sport to hanging out with them like it's nothing. girl i think you skipped some steps. congrats on the sex though.

ambessa could have been a great antagonist but even she had her lunch eaten by viktor. i still have no clue what went down with her and the rose.

sevika became an extra after one act. no continuity with her being zaun's kingmaker who finds herself backing jinx in the power vacuum as the hostilities explode. becoming the chair for zaun? she would not do that and she would be terrible at it.

viktor's arc, again, feels like it actually paid off. would have loved to see him slowly sink into madness after his cult spirals out of control but at least we got where it feels like we would have headed.

jayce having to grapple with the cost of trying to bring magic to the real world through watching his friend get warped by it was a great idea. wish he wasn't off in another dimension for 90% of the time.

mel... i don't even fucking know. at this point i'm like. she should have just died in the explosion, because suddenly becoming mel palpatine and unlocking all the powers of the universe totally undoes what made mel as a character special and effective. and no one even felt her absence.

heimerdinger was certainly there.

ekko... oh my god. what a waste. he had the MOST interesting shit to respond to in s2 and none of it was used. he got the z drive but at the cost of being the leader of the firelights watching his sanctuary die, navigating the zaunite power vacuum, having his faction abandon him for the daughter of his enemy, watching his philosophy be thrown out the window for war, having to weigh his anger about jinx's involvement in silco's operation AND how she's basically stealing his thunder but doing it in a way he'd hate with his lingering feelings for her fucking up his judgment. nope! we're gonna bench him for 90% of the show. he'll get one good action scene, but by god are we gonna make the most important thing about him his crush on jinx! jesus christ.

uh yeah season 1 was a 9 or 10 out of 10, season 2's a 6 if i'm being generous and that's just bc it was pretty to look at.

(yeah this feels like how btsv is gonna go. rushed because the prev installment was a huge hit, faced with impossible expectations from a fandom that's hallucinated that atsv was Perfect for years and that the writers were Geniuses incapable of misstepping or not being able to handle studio fuckery or unsurmountable pressure, doomed to fall on its face. pretty to look at, but bloated with old ideas it doesn't have time to explore, somehow still cramming in new ideas it has even less time to get into, hijacking a major character for ship fuel, and trying to tie up loose ends in a way that just cannot satisfy.)

[bringthekaos]

I read that you were worried about getting hate for defending Jayce, but I'm here to say THANK YOU. MY BOI TRIES SO HARD AND IT MAKES ME SAD THE FANDOM SHITS ON HIM. He's such a well written character and deserves more love!

ADJFAHFAFASJ hiiiiii fellow Jayce lover!!! 💖

Yeah, the early days of the Arcane fandom were so rough for Jayce enjoyers (Mel enjoyers too, JFC, people were vicious).

And I am definitely still anxious about when season 2 comes out and people come flooding back/new fans pour in, cuz… Jayce is really going through it. He’s made mistakes, and I’m pretty sure he’s gunna continue to make mistakes. But he is genuinely such a good man—he’s kind and sweet, a little naive, but he loves so openly. His flaws are what make him human, what make him a good character. Honestly “flawless guy with no imperfections that makes no mistakes ever and has no opportunity to grow” is so boring like??? I enjoy my flawed little guys, I like watching them learn and grow but also stumble and fall. And there is such opportunity with Jayce, such depth. Like… so much of his lore in League revolves around his regrets, mostly where Viktor is concerned. And he’s a bitter asshole because of it, because he’s hurting. Like… my babyyyyy, I just want to hug him and shake him and tell him to snap out of it, Viktor still cares about you, you can fix this if you tryyyyyy.

Anyhoo. I love him. I love his flaws, his scars, and everything that makes him Jayce.
