You know what baffles me, the arcane writers and animators have been shown to be able to write and successfully convey a sibling dynamic between both blood and non blood relatives

They have

Vi and jinx, a huge part of the storyline, they even go through a similar arc to Jayce and Viktor relationship progression wise, well as similar as blood siblings raised together can be to people who met in their early 20s

They have Jayce and Cait! They only have a few bits of time together and still clearly portray a sibling dynamic and even outside of the age issue someone would be considered very odd by the fandom to see their dynamic as romantic!

They even have a dynamic which could have been a sibling dynamic but is clearly closer to romance, ekko and jinx/powder.

They clearly are perfectly adept to write and execute clear relationship dynamics that are easy to interpret

They CAN write non blood sibling dynamics, but you know what this is?

*taps stick at a now projected image of Jayce and viktor*

not a sibling or brotherly relationship! None of the subtext aligns with that view.

So why, if we know they know how to portray multiple kinds of relationships, are we here? What’s the problem?

The problem is people including one guy who worked on the show, are claiming this

*taps again on multiple images of Jayce and viktor*

Is brotherly, when it’s so clearly romantic, well honestly it’s beyond romantic, as the one guy said, they’re everything, they’re soul partners

Their body language around eachother, their parallel character arcs, the way they talk about eachother, the things they did for and because of eachother..

It’s very hard to interpret that as brotherly, especially especially because they’re not brothers.

I’m in full support of deep life altering found family type dynamics. But that is not what it looks like, and we know the writers and storyboarders and animators, at least most of them, know that too.
