Dont. Affirm My Gender. Right Now.

She’s is consistently talked about through her relationship to other characters & this extends to her trauma - not that I’m saying that analysis isn’t valuable but also. BARBED WIRE?? and afterwards she’s just chill and neither the show nor the fandom ever bring it up again??

I understand the writers had to rush through things, but the fact that there isn't even a hint of processing that trauma is really annoying. I was also angered by her being so stoic and having little to no reaction to all these events in the aftermath.

During ep8 it was genuinely to a point where I thought awakening her magic had fundamentally morphed her personality or something. That idk, Le’blanc stole her ability to emote during the transformation & that was why her reaction was so?? nothing

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.

"We need more complex female characters!" Y'all can't even handle Mel Medarda.

As someone who loves animated tv and movies I can say with certainty that the way arcane uses micro expression is so special.

Jayce in canon and fics: Viktor you saved my life :)
