While we have canon scenes where Jayce tried to assist Viktor on the bridge and he actively protect hexcore from Heimerdinger cause it has a chance to cure Viktor.

Breaking his promise and resurrecting Viktor without his consent? Cool, we do crazy things for love.

Being a classist asshole on the bridge scene? He was under political pressure and he did what he thought was the best, he also apologized right after so yeah, no issue.

Making weapons using hextech even after he knows how much Viktor despises the idea?, sure, yeah it's reckless but also he's on the council that time, he needs to protect his people.

Blasting Viktor's chest and killing him at the commune?, nvm, he promised mageViktor to stop Viktor, so it's necessary.

I can forgive him for almost everything but one scene.

The scene where Mel sidelined Viktor when they discuss how they should make weapons using hextech and Mel clearly said "The choice is yours" to Jayce ALONE and don't even ACKNOWLEDGE Viktor as co-founder of hextech, as if Viktor opinion doesn't matter.

Like, searching ao3 fanfiction and do moral crusade because the fic is horrible and nasty but wait, -check notes- the fic was tagged properly, it's proship content, death dove don't eat kinda thing

And then demand the whole fandom take action against it? While most of us aren't even aware of the fic in the first place?

Claiming we all support the fic like we all working on it like some fucking big project?

You can't expect people to know every single problematic thing that happened in such a big fandom as this one. Freak people exist, they create freak stuff and as long as they keep it on their bubble it should be fine.

Also, they are kinda self-sustaining too, they have their own authors, artists, audiences. And always always tag their works properly

If you get jumpscare by their work then it's on you

Block them, mute them

How many times should people tell you to curate your own space, protect your own peace?

I even block a lot of big javik artist and author cause they also create for ships I don't like

And vice versa, I can't trust you if you said you love Viktor but just see Jayce as his accessories for shipping.

If hextech was still his dream, he will be back to Piltover and rebuild the city after the war. You won't let a mere "lab partner" tarnish your life long dream.

If his tendency of suicide force him to end it with Viktor, as in "he would love to go back, but that also imply he will let Viktor die alone, and he won't do that".

Why? Why can't he let his "lab partner" die alone? Aren't they just a co-worker? Mere colleague, strictly professional relationship?

While he has so much to fix? A city and reputation to rebuild, family, friend, and a woman he love waiting?

Oh, maybe because this "lab partner" is no longer just a "lab partner" but a "partner" partner?

Or maybe cause he finally realize that he don't want to bring magic to the world? All he want is his partner back.

He has no reason to stay, yet he did anyways.

If Jayce was truly a man of duty and honor, a man who knows what his obligation is, he will comeback to Piltover, his main goal is to stop Viktor, to broke the mind hive and he did it with Ekko's help. His obligation is to serve his people, as a councilor, as a man who invented hextech, he should be back, rebuild his city, secure the hextech, etc etc.

But he didn't come back, he stayed with Viktor cause he knew that all of these horror will not be happening if he just let Viktor die. Yet he can't let him die, not in this timeline, not in other timelines.

So no, he's not stayed out of duty or obligation. Cause he already achieve his objective, to stop Viktor and broke the mind hive.

He stay because he want to. Because it's Viktor he want to be with at the end of all these.

I think people do connect with their story and want to create arts based on their interpretation of their relationship.

Man...

We can't really enjoy anything at this point without getting backlash.

I mean it's still a win tho? We finally have them confessing to each other, finally finishing what they start together.

Viktor will not have the ability to do what he did without Jayce doing all that necromancy to him. If he just let Viktor die it will be it. Yet he can't, he can't let Viktor die, no matter how many timelines they doomed together, he will always choose to bring Viktor back to life. And just like that the circle continues.

They phrase it as if Viktor forced Jayce to stay, to take part in sacrificing himself to break the circle, but Viktor did not do such thing? He asked Jayce to leave, he was ready to die ALONE to atone to his sin. If you watch the scene closely you can see that the arcane tries to separate Jayce and Viktor TWICE. Yet Jayce swim forward grabs Viktor's hand and doesn't let go.

It was a conscious decision from Jayce part, that he chose to end it with Viktor. He chose to be there rather than go back to his mom, his friend, his people.

Does that make him selfish? Maybe. But should you blame Viktor for it? No, cause that was Jayce's decision to stay.

People then complain that we twist everything to romantic nuance. But since when sacrificing yourself - to or with- someone you love viewed as anything less romantic?

Aren't Jack from Titanic viewed as the most romantic man cause he sacrificed himself to save Rose?

Jayvik having their peaceful cottage-core life with 2 adopted cats when the trouble knocking on their door.

I think the fandom strips Jayce so much of his own agency that they think he cannot fall in love with 2 different people in his life, in which both love shapes him the way he is.

Jayce was in love with Mel, she is listed as his former lover in their official wiki page ffs. But people are still running their mouths, saying their sex scene is just a political manipulation move. Mel also genuinely grows fond of Jayce; she even warns Ambessa to not play around with Jayce. That Jayce is off-limits. While they both don't have canon lines saying they love each other, we can say so by observing how the character was animated, the underlines of their expression etc etc

And Jayce is in love with Viktor. I think the necromancy is enough reason to say that he cannot panthom live without Viktor. He chose to bring him back to life even without his consent, and by doing so, he doomed everyone else to their early grave. He chose to dust into cosmic matter rather than going back to his former life, going back to his people, his MOM, just to be with Viktor.

That "But you were never broken, Viktor. There is beauty in imperfections. They made you who you are. An inseparable piece of everything I admired about you." is the last nail in the coffin.

If that line was between m/f characters, their ship will be the most canon thing ever, even if the creator says it just a brother and sister love, no one will take that shit.

"In all timelines, in all possibilities, only you can show me this." "You were never broken, Viktor. There is beauty in imperfections. They made you who you are. An inseparable piece of everything I admired about you." People will argue about how their actions towards each other lack the romantic nuance. It makes me wonder what "romantic" nuance we are looking for to make it canon? a kissing scene? a sex scene?

It also begs the question that if the kissing and sex scene happen under other influences, is it still considered romantic?

Cause what happened between Jayce and Viktor is the text book yearningtron1000. They doomed multiples timelines just to be together dammit, choosing to dust into cosmic matter, mingle themselves together in astral plane just because they can't help thinking of losing each other again.

Viktor really asks Jayce to go back, to leave him alone to deal with the aftermath. He gives Jacye the chance to come back as a hero, as the world's savior, but Jacye says, "Let's do this together" instead.

And people also said that Jayce decided to go with Viktor out of obligation? Cause he is the founder of Hextech he feels the responsibility to destroy it too, but wasn't it will be more beneficial for him to come back as a hero? If his obligation is to serve his people, he will choose to come back, to build and fix what Viktor has ruined with their Hextech. Yet this man chose to ascend into fabric of the universe cause he didn't give a damn about everyone else but Viktor.

Cause as he said, He thought he wanted to bring magic to the world, to help humanity through their Hextech, but in the end, all he wanted was his partner back. And since they're not doing all the science again, not building prototypes again, what does that "partner" imply? hmm??

Was reading a usual shipwar comment and someone says that Viktor is also manipulative to Jayce cause he persuaded him out of suicide to monopolize Jayce's hex tech research to himself, to make him feeling something of his old boring life. To give him a purpose.

If Viktor really thinks that he can monopolize the research by himself, all he needs is to stole it and go back to zaun. He was smart enough to come out with the hex core, figuring the initial way the hex tech work might take him months but he can do it by himself.

But he didn't did he? He persuaded Jayce out of suicide cause he believe in him, Viktor put himself as a coreteral, his title as assistant of the dean, his long journey from undercity to where he was. He was betting on a lost dog, if he-they- failed he risks being exiled, all his hard work will be gone. He will be back becoming just a cripple from the undercity.
