In my eyes they are friends AND LOVERS, but most importantly they are SOULMATES and their relationship, the bond they have is truely beautiful. I hope one day I find such person in my life
Small thing I noticed while watching was at 8:11 Victor looks at Jayce with a slight surprise but when Jayce is thinking back at it at 15:03 he imagines Victor looking at him with a small smile like !!!!!!
Have you seen some of those flashbacks of season 1 he had in the finale, compared to the OG scenes? Jayce literally remembers Viktor with a yassifying filter on😭😭😭
I'm holding myself back from fighting with the "they're just bros" crowd in the comments because my mental health deserves better than arguing with trolls who refuse to acknowledge that romantic and sexual love between men doesn't cheapen, lessen, or negate their friendship and intimacy.
"im mot homophobic i just think two dudes can never just be friends these days and also that jayvik is gross and stupid and gay romance ruins friendship for me-"
2:21 jayce looks so incredulous yet at the same time just so so happy that victor’s alive, just the way he says it, the way he NEEDS to hug him, like he needs the physical reassurance that yes, victor is here, he made it, he’s okay. that “you’re alive” was said to convince himself just as much victor. poor baby just looks so damn relieved and i just- ugh i love them
If Christian Linke's (co-creator) statements are stopping you from thinking about Jayce and Viktor as romantic, don't let that happen. Many other members of the Arcane team have expressed their support for the idea of Jayce and Viktor having a romantic connection. In fact, the animators decided to portray it that way, that's why it looks like that. So, the co-creator is not the only voice that matters when it comes to defining what is canon. Feel free to support the type of relationship you want, all interpretations are valid. Opinions vary even within the Arcane team.
I slowed the part where Jayce is putting the hexcore in viktor and there is a flash of viktors skeleton which shows that viktors spine was infact, broken in half
At 3:29 Viktor sees the schematics of Jayce's weapons and realises what Jayce has done, and why Jayce wants to work in the lab with him, so he steals the book not because he needs it but because he is stopping Jayce from making more hextech.
Except the book is Sky's which Viktor kept after accidentally killing her. Jayce doesn't need Viktor to make hextech weapons, he's perfectly capable of it by himself.
there's a word in vietnamese & chinese for this that describes exactly what you're saying. i don't think the word soulmate is even enough to convey how much deeper. but watching the two this season reminded me of that word (it's tri kỷ if you're curious).
At the beginning Jayce called viktor his brother, then after a time he called him his best friend. Then, at the end, he calls him his “partner”. This wasn’t unnoticed by me and the more I think about it the more I realize that what they have (and what they developed) isn’t brotherly nor romantic, it’s something much deeper. They’re, quite literally, cosmically bonded
@@mateigabrielzaharia4842 I don´t think they´re either of those (Viktor gives me assexual vibes also), but the reason why I don´t think they´re brotherly is that they are far different from Jinx and Vi, the classic case of "we´re sisters and I roast the hell out of you, but if anyone else roasts you, they´re DEAD". I honestly do NOT sense this vibe in them, it´s just different bro, it´s hard to put it in a box so why even try
They’ve experienced countless universes together; their bond is literal transcending and no one can tell me they haven’t experienced every form of love
Be for real rn people, if one of them had been a woman there would not be a single soul to question the potentiality of them being more than friends. I did say "potentiality" because no one is obligated to see romantic love in their dynamic, it really depends on personal perception and yes friendships this strong does exist. But those strongly denying other possibilities and saying others are stupid to even think it could be more than friendship shows either a lack of understanding of their relationship depth and/or some latent homophobia. The chemistry and love shared by these two characters is otherworldly. Personaly, I did not ship them at all before but too much scenes from season 2 gave me soulmates and romantic longing vibes for me to ignore it. That's an entirely personal view and I understand any other reading might exists, but be warned that if you come into my replies with some "they're just bros you need to consult" type of comments, you're boring and I will not reply.
@@suezcontours6653 for sure vulnerability and deeply caring for each other doesn’t necessarily mean romance! I think either interpretation, platonic or romantic are equally valid interpretations of Jayce and Viktor “Accuse” of being gay sure is a choice of words though 😭
@@johannfunn6962 How when the creatives explicitly told the fans they're a brotherly bond? Jayce and Viktor are brother-bonded. Viktor is not romantically entwined in anything - he's asexual. It's extremely convenient they do this when the love interest is black.
You know that scene in 15:00 during that encounter before Jayce killed Viktor the second time? Apparently, someone on Twitter pointed out that Viktor wasn't smiling during that scene in the actual encounter Plus, the background was faded in his memory, while in the actual scene, it wasn't.
I like to think about how the ending could have neen averted and the commune preserved if Jayce just said "Hey buddy astral-link with me real quick and listen to yourself." It couldn't have happened really but god.
Preserved? .... Hm, if you think those people Viktor "saved" could have lived, if might not be right. They were not alive anymore. They were puppets, really, entirely at Viktor's disposal and had no will of their own, even the dreamy-like state they were was also the hexcore's influence on them.
17:54 …my heart skipped a beat guys like- I knew they prob wouldn’t kiss here..but god damn they were close- closer than I thought they would be here and I can safely say..this feels more than just friendship to me.
I was ready for a nasty divorce, instead I witnessed Jayce grabbing Viktor's nape, Viktor grabbing Jayce's trembling arm and a forehead touch. The intimacy....I will never recover
So for everyone saying that they can’t be interpreted as romantic: Arcane is an extensive project with so many creators beyond just the main writers who have their own interpretations. It’s been confirmed that many of the animators saw a romantic relationship between them and included details that represent this (ex: Viktor and Mel parallels specifically during intimacy, lip brush, eyes actively dilating, etc.). Even if it weren’t, creators can’t own the concepts they create with. But overall, you can’t blame people for seeing something romantic between them when the implications were added and intentionally so. I highly doubt that had one of them been a girl that more people wouldn’t see their relationship that way. Their relationship is both and beyond platonic and romantic, their souls fused, they are one
Fucking love when Viktor asks “what am I?” And Jayce’s answer is “alive” literally no judgment about what’s happened to him he only cares that his bff Is still alive
The one co creator who tried to retcon this relationship away failed to convince the fan base because clearly the animators, music team, voice actors, and maybe even other co creators, all had other ideas lool
Lol, u guys are weird. U can't convince OG league of legends players especially league lore enthusiasts. Don't make anything gae as hel, Delusional mfs forget thy ar not gae in the lore 😂
The number of people in the comments complaining that its platonic is so wild. Like okay, why do you care???? You saw a video explicitly labelling them as romantic and came to complain and be homophobic? "Wah male friendships cant exist because strangers online are interpreting cartoons wrong" my sibling in Christ go find real problems
It's because they fundamentally don't understand what shipping is. I've had so many little twerps say (about a lot of ships, not just Jayvik), "That ship's wrong because it's not canon!" that I feel like I'm losing my mind. I fear that we might need to bring back some level of fandom gatekeeping
the homophobia is definitely a part of it. Just like people freaking the f out when people said spiderverse gwen stacy is a trans girl. It strikes a nerve, i fear.
@@sleepygrle6738 FR. I caught a discussion under a Jayvik shipping short(literally titled "JaycexViktor") of dudes whining that they're relationship is platonic, and when I pointed out the video they're commenting is literally a shipping video, a dude was like "It's just a pairing video, not shipping". My brother in christ, it has the "character x character" formula literally in its title, "character/character" or "character&character" are platonic, the "x" is romantic😑😑😑these rules are 60+ years old😑😑
It's wild how many people are in the comments of this fluffy, clearly ship/fandom-based video harping on about how their opinions are the ultimate truth & shame on anyone with a different interpretation. Chill out, click the 'don't recommend me content like this' button and move the heck on already.
I saw a tweet the other day about how fan spaces have really suffered from the COVID-era influx of normies, and it was like an "aha" moment for me. A lot of these people don't know that proper fandom etiquette dictates not hating on other people's ships, because _they_ never had the middle school experience of an older fan telling them to stfu. The meltdown Jayvik antis are having is giving "baby's first ship war"
@owl.feathers Honestly I wish that were true, but having been in fandom spaces for nearly two decades I can say it's always been this way with popular shows/games/media. Queer romance (especially between men or masculine characters), whether in shipping or canon, really seems to upset a certain crowd that imagine it somehow degrades or erases the portrayal of deep, affectionate friendships.
2:24 besides me focusing in on how they embraced for 11 seconds which hurts cause it really looked like Jayce just wanted to keep holding him :( I also just want to talk to the animators cause they did such an amazing job with micro expressions! I can't be entirely sure what Viktor is thinking before he returns Jayce's hug, but the way his face morphs from uncertainty to pain to sadness, maybe a sense of this possibly being something he wanted before in other times of need but things being too different now, all of it was so beautifully done. I wonder if we'll ever get a breakdown from the animators on how they did facial expressions 🤔
you guys need to stop saying that its not romantic. it is. it may not be said out right but if you analyze their relationship/actions/themes its clear that the team (at least some of them) intended jayvik to read as romantic. jayvik also has a lot of parallels with timebomb, caitvi, and meljayce, all romantic pairings.
I think that it was intended to be up to the reader/watcher personally, I’m saying this as a strong jayvik fan. There are DEFINITELY some moments that cannot be explained by ‘oh they’re really close friends’, but it’s rare in the media to see a naturally close male/male friendship. I think that toxic masculinity kinda ruined the idea that men can have meaningful physical friendships with other men, so I don’t fault anyone for interpreting Jayce and Viktor like that
@@threelayerbeefybeanburrito872 i see what you mean but i think people refusing to see the romantic connotation of jayvik is a disservice to the animators. arcane is animated, every frame, every detail no matter how small it is is important. ex. jayces eyes dilating when hes looking at viktor/when someone mentions viktors name, that is intentional. its also not rare to see close (SUPER CLOSE) m/m friendships especially in mainstream media (ex. friends, b99, community) if you pick any show in any cable channel/streaming site its guaranteed to have a close m/m friendship. i do agree with the toxic masculinity bit, its just sad to see people lump jayvik as another media bros when the animators clearly put efforts into making them "more"
@@404max exactly, they were never just friends, they were soulmates and had a deeper connection. i typed a whole paragraph to some guy in one of the top comments about it lmao
@@threelayerbeefybeanburrito872 I don't understand this take. People can read an obviously ambiguous relationship however they want but, point me to an IP that has close male friendships but they all turn gay. Or better yet, point me an IP that doesn't have male friendships, of various levels of closeness, between officially straight characters. I can maybe think of 1 in which a long relationship between 2 dudes is revealed to be romantic(Supernatural), in 20+ years of consuming media. EDIT: lmaooo I looked into it and the Destiel Supernatural thing isn't even canonized officially, so the actual amount is absolute 0. Like, that way of thinking implies that is very common for close male friendships to be turned into romantic, thus the "poor hetero men don't have representation :(" when that literally never happens and hetero men and their friendships are THE most represented class in fiction. We DON'T have mlm pairings in mainstream media, we only have them in some media made for queers, and not even that many. Like, Jayvik being actually canon would be the "rare in the media" thing here, not the opposite.
I love that despite Viktor claiming to be seperated from his humanity he still holds both the blanket and cog (which isn’t the exact same one but is obviously a parallel to the og cog in the floating scene). His connection and love for Jayce also being what brought him back is so beautiful and well written 😭 (also just in general the way Arcane shows love as a driving force for sm characters is so beautiful oml (Singed’s love for his daughter essentially being the catalyst for many major events in sm of the characters lives??))
I didn't notice before, but Jayce is holding onto Viktor's cane. Probably to comfort himself, but most likely so he could give Viktor the cane as soon as he woke up so he wouldn't stumble or fall and hurt himself
I'm not really into shipping, and I respect that their relationship is platonic, but Jayce and Viktor easily had the most chemistry on the show. It may not have been romantic, but it was surely magnetic.
The fact that they get sucked into the rune gem and then it saps out of existence let's me believe they just transported to another reality and are fine and happy together 😌
Honestly? When it comes to Jayce and Viktor, I don't think it matters whether or not people perceive their relationship is romantic. Either way, its still the truth that they very much love each other. No matter the form, they love each other deeply, truly, and unconditionally. They're soulmates, romantic or not, they complete each other. There is something so profoundly intimate about their relationship, regardless of how its perceived.
This, straight up. A buddy of mine and I are like this. I don't believe in "best friends" because I don't compare friends. But he and I have always been on the same wavelength
17:56 VIKTOR GIVES JAYCE'S ARM A LITTLE RUB RIGHT BEFORE THEY DIE :(( I was too busy looking at their expressions in the moment to notice the subtle action, but it is 100% there. It's like a last nonverbal 'thank you' to his good friend. He appreciates that he's there with him :< ❤ EDIT: Damnnn I reckon I'm wrong - it's the way their space colouring works!!! it REALLY throws you off. if you focus on the outline of Jayce's arm, you'll see it moves in an identical way! :D Still, Viktor looks very much at peace compared to before, it's obvious he appreciates him being there either way.
i like the way it's almost all Jayce's fault but in the end he takes the responsability of what he had done and helps Viktor understand the truth and dies with him...this Is love
Ever since the finale, I've seen plenty of people defend the "platonic route" by saying that people are just not used to deep male friendships being portrayed in media, and as much as I understand that there are certain issues about the way male friendships are portrayed.... I think the ACTUAL issue here is the polar oposite. What we are NOT used to is deep male x female romantic relationships in media as a whole. Actually, the more I think about it, the more it hits me that, plenty of times, the male friendships get more of the spotlight and more of the depth than straight romance. Lets take Supernatural as an example: people like to complain about Destiel shippers, saying Dean is straight and that what they have is "brotherly love" and yada yada, but why is that that ALL the most important, deepest, most beautiful and meaningfull relationships Dean has are with other dudes? Why is that that every woman he connects to ends up dead or has to be separated from him? Why is that, that we cant have these beautiful, positive, deep relationships between straight couples? And this logic can be used for plenty of the most popular mlm ships you will find. Now, when it comes to Jayce and Viktor and their all so platonic "become one with the galaxy" moment, the ONLY couple I can think of that has such a beautiful, magical, trasncendent scene is Adora and Catra from She-ra POP, and they are sapphic! We have been fed plenty of insipid male x female relationships in the last few decades, and if all we have to look foward to when it comes to deep human connection ends up being mlm "friendships"... what can we do if they are written so romantically? Gosh, VI AND CAIT DIDNT HAVE WHAT THESE TWO GOT!
Caitvi went downhill for me. I still ship Caitlyn and Vi, but to me, they seem like a lacklustre version of Marceline and Princess Bubblegum’s connection
Brilliant edit. They were truly soul mates across universes.Also the way they pulverised at the end reminded me of Cassian Andor and Jyn Erso in their final moments- ugly crying

Why did them touching foreheads feel just as gay as the literal gay sex scene
Why would that be gay? My and my friend did that, and we straight, I also know a boy and a girl that did that and they are platonic friends
It's just showing affection
@@petrufrenc576Oh yeah i have a gay friend who did that with his boyfriend before they start dating.
Congratulations bro you may not know it but you are gay. 🥳🥳🥳
@@petrufrenc576Because they're fictional and people are allowed to view their relationship however they want. Couples hold hands, so do friends, so do siblings, so do total strangers who like holding hands. If you want to perceive them as platonic go ahead, literally no one is stopping you. It's just wild that you're saying this in a video literally about them being romantic. No one made you click here.
@@ButterflyScarlet Seriously, I find it so strange that so many people are saying that people who ship this are nasty, when the two of them are very close to one another and they never refer to each other as brothers (at least I don't recall a moment like that.) Like, majority of people who are close in media are shipped, its not a new concept.
In my eyes they are friends AND LOVERS, but most importantly they are SOULMATES and their relationship, the bond they have is truely beautiful. I hope one day I find such person in my life
Yesssss
“are they lovers?” “worse.” is my favourite quote referring to them😭😭

Small thing I noticed while watching was at 8:11 Victor looks at Jayce with a slight surprise but when Jayce is thinking back at it at 15:03 he imagines Victor looking at him with a small smile like !!!!!!
Ur crazy for this u dont havethe the right break myheart like this
GOD 😭
WOW
Have you seen some of those flashbacks of season 1 he had in the finale, compared to the OG scenes? Jayce literally remembers Viktor with a yassifying filter on😭😭😭
“small thing i noticed” - is in fact a huge, heart breaking, achingly beautiful detail that is critical to their entire relationship arc
the overlay of them levitating and then the coin rolling over into the reality where he just killed viktor.... im sending you my therapy bill
Future Viktor seeing past Jayce really was like “oh I’m about to make this man yearn FOR REAL”

Thank god someone else sees the sourdough starter 😭😭😭
NAH BRO that is CRIMINALLY ACCURATE XDD
They are the EPITOME of doomed yaoi
Doomed? More like they couldn’t have been more destined. Victor saved Jayce’s ambitions and Jayce saved Victor from his destruction. I love them 😭
oh my god
the way viktor says "only you" continues to wreak havoc on my psyche
I'm holding myself back from fighting with the "they're just bros" crowd in the comments because my mental health deserves better than arguing with trolls who refuse to acknowledge that romantic and sexual love between men doesn't cheapen, lessen, or negate their friendship and intimacy.

2:21 jayce looks so incredulous yet at the same time just so so happy that victor’s alive, just the way he says it, the way he NEEDS to hug him, like he needs the physical reassurance that yes, victor is here, he made it, he’s okay. that “you’re alive” was said to convince himself just as much victor. poor baby just looks so damn relieved and i just- ugh i love them
9:43 I love how Ekko and Heimerdinger got the spider-verse experience while Jayce just played Dark Souls
If Christian Linke's (co-creator) statements are stopping you from thinking about Jayce and Viktor as romantic, don't let that happen. Many other members of the Arcane team have expressed their support for the idea of Jayce and Viktor having a romantic connection. In fact, the animators decided to portray it that way, that's why it looks like that. So, the co-creator is not the only voice that matters when it comes to defining what is canon. Feel free to support the type of relationship you want, all interpretations are valid. Opinions vary even within the Arcane team.

hfhdhs omg that means he was DEAD dead😭😭😭
Oh damn I didn’t even notice that 😮it’s definitely broken alright 🤧
At 3:29 Viktor sees the schematics of Jayce's weapons and realises what Jayce has done, and why Jayce wants to work in the lab with him, so he steals the book not because he needs it but because he is stopping Jayce from making more hextech.
Except the book is Sky's which Viktor kept after accidentally killing her. Jayce doesn't need Viktor to make hextech weapons, he's perfectly capable of it by himself.
The book is Sky's. It has other ideas in it. Jayce already knows how to make hextech, they created it together for years.
I think they truly were soulmates, perhaps not in the romantic sense, but something deeper and more meaningful.
there's a word in vietnamese & chinese for this that describes exactly what you're saying. i don't think the word soulmate is even enough to convey how much deeper. but watching the two this season reminded me of that word (it's tri kỷ if you're curious).
At the beginning Jayce called viktor his brother, then after a time he called him his best friend. Then, at the end, he calls him his “partner”. This wasn’t unnoticed by me and the more I think about it the more I realize that what they have (and what they developed) isn’t brotherly nor romantic, it’s something much deeper. They’re, quite literally, cosmically bonded
@@youthisreadwrong2274 oh absolutelyy, that's such a lovely way to put it
They're bros. That's it. No gay, just bros.
@@mateigabrielzaharia4842 I don´t think they´re either of those (Viktor gives me assexual vibes also), but the reason why I don´t think they´re brotherly is that they are far different from Jinx and Vi, the classic case of "we´re sisters and I roast the hell out of you, but if anyone else roasts you, they´re DEAD". I honestly do NOT sense this vibe in them, it´s just different bro, it´s hard to put it in a box so why even try
Omg I didn't realize they were back in their academy uniforms!!!
Where do you see that? I’ve seen a couple people say this but I can’t see it 😅
so like... every interaction 😅 canon cosmic soulmates across all universes whose love almost destroyed but ultimately saved the world
“My God”
“What am I?” 2:13
Did you not hear him? You became a God!!!!
Specifically *his* god 😂
Jayce, a straight man: OMG You're alive! --->looks at the Hexussy
“I thought you were done with Hextech… and more importantly, ✨me✨ 🥺🥺”
They’ve experienced countless universes together; their bond is literal transcending and no one can tell me they haven’t experienced every form of love
17:22 Jayce trying hug Viktor make me tear…
Be for real rn people, if one of them had been a woman there would not be a single soul to question the potentiality of them being more than friends. I did say "potentiality" because no one is obligated to see romantic love in their dynamic, it really depends on personal perception and yes friendships this strong does exist. But those strongly denying other possibilities and saying others are stupid to even think it could be more than friendship shows either a lack of understanding of their relationship depth and/or some latent homophobia. The chemistry and love shared by these two characters is otherworldly.
Personaly, I did not ship them at all before but too much scenes from season 2 gave me soulmates and romantic longing vibes for me to ignore it. That's an entirely personal view and I understand any other reading might exists, but be warned that if you come into my replies with some "they're just bros you need to consult" type of comments, you're boring and I will not reply.
if one of them was a woman 99% of audience would think their story is a romance
I have SEEN too many ppl go "hes ace!!!" MY BROTHER IN CHRIST he can still fell romantic feelings omg he's not ARO-ACE.
People are doing this with Sky and Viktor. I’m not saying you can’t ship them (they are pretty cute)

@@johannfunn6962 How when the creatives explicitly told the fans they're a brotherly bond? Jayce and Viktor are brother-bonded. Viktor is not romantically entwined in anything - he's asexual. It's extremely convenient they do this when the love interest is black.
I know that Viktor is dying in 8:42 but.. he looks so soft in this scene and it just breaks my heart😭
he looks so beautiful like that
Why must he look so gorgeous whenever he's dying 😭😭😭 @pen3169
unfortunately looking really fine 😔
You know that scene in 15:00 during that encounter before Jayce killed Viktor the second time? Apparently, someone on Twitter pointed out that Viktor wasn't smiling during that scene in the actual encounter
Plus, the background was faded in his memory, while in the actual scene, it wasn't.
He remembered him smiling im gonna sob
HIS FOCUS WAS ON VIKTORRRR 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
No bcs I thought it was a seperate clip the first time I saw that scene BCS of the smile
AWW AGHFJKDJHDF
he imagined him smiling 😢
I like to think about how the ending could have neen averted and the commune preserved if Jayce just said "Hey buddy astral-link with me real quick and listen to yourself."
It couldn't have happened really but god.
All these advances in technology and not a single camera phone to record how crazy everything will be!
Preserved? .... Hm, if you think those people Viktor "saved" could have lived, if might not be right. They were not alive anymore. They were puppets, really, entirely at Viktor's disposal and had no will of their own, even the dreamy-like state they were was also the hexcore's influence on them.
viktor rly wore that blanket that jayce gave him the entirety of season 2
0:49 He is always holding viktor's cane
Ohhh he was pining so badly. They make me sick!
And Viktor with the cape
17:54 …my heart skipped a beat guys like- I knew they prob wouldn’t kiss here..but god damn they were close- closer than I thought they would be here and I can safely say..this feels more than just friendship to me.
I was ready for a nasty divorce, instead I witnessed Jayce grabbing Viktor's nape, Viktor grabbing Jayce's trembling arm and a forehead touch. The intimacy....I will never recover
So for everyone saying that they can’t be interpreted as romantic: Arcane is an extensive project with so many creators beyond just the main writers who have their own interpretations. It’s been confirmed that many of the animators saw a romantic relationship between them and included details that represent this (ex: Viktor and Mel parallels specifically during intimacy, lip brush, eyes actively dilating, etc.). Even if it weren’t, creators can’t own the concepts they create with. But overall, you can’t blame people for seeing something romantic between them when the implications were added and intentionally so. I highly doubt that had one of them been a girl that more people wouldn’t see their relationship that way. Their relationship is both and beyond platonic and romantic, their souls fused, they are one

Fucking love when Viktor asks “what am I?” And Jayce’s answer is “alive” literally no judgment about what’s happened to him he only cares that his bff Is still alive
8:07 I feel ill that The Vow plays in this scene where he killed Viktor. His promise... His vow..... oh yeah i need to be put down
The one co creator who tried to retcon this relationship away failed to convince the fan base because clearly the animators, music team, voice actors, and maybe even other co creators, all had other ideas lool

The number of people in the comments complaining that its platonic is so wild. Like okay, why do you care???? You saw a video explicitly labelling them as romantic and came to complain and be homophobic? "Wah male friendships cant exist because strangers online are interpreting cartoons wrong" my sibling in Christ go find real problems
It's because they fundamentally don't understand what shipping is. I've had so many little twerps say (about a lot of ships, not just Jayvik), "That ship's wrong because it's not canon!" that I feel like I'm losing my mind. I fear that we might need to bring back some level of fandom gatekeeping
the homophobia is definitely a part of it. Just like people freaking the f out when people said spiderverse gwen stacy is a trans girl.
It strikes a nerve, i fear.

I saw a tweet the other day about how fan spaces have really suffered from the COVID-era influx of normies, and it was like an "aha" moment for me. A lot of these people don't know that proper fandom etiquette dictates not hating on other people's ships, because _they_ never had the middle school experience of an older fan telling them to stfu. The meltdown Jayvik antis are having is giving "baby's first ship war"
people really hate queer men
@owl.feathers
Honestly I wish that were true, but having been in fandom spaces for nearly two decades I can say it's always been this way with popular shows/games/media. Queer romance (especially between men or masculine characters), whether in shipping or canon, really seems to upset a certain crowd that imagine it somehow degrades or erases the portrayal of deep, affectionate friendships.

ah yes arcane season 2, also known as 3 acts of jayce yearning
Act 1 is Jayce having his BI reveal
Act 2 is Viktor serving c+nt while Jayce is a stinky disaster BI

YEP JUST-
2:24 besides me focusing in on how they embraced for 11 seconds which hurts cause it really looked like Jayce just wanted to keep holding him :( I also just want to talk to the animators cause they did such an amazing job with micro expressions! I can't be entirely sure what Viktor is thinking before he returns Jayce's hug, but the way his face morphs from uncertainty to pain to sadness, maybe a sense of this possibly being something he wanted before in other times of need but things being too different now, all of it was so beautifully done. I wonder if we'll ever get a breakdown from the animators on how they did facial expressions 🤔
you guys need to stop saying that its not romantic. it is. it may not be said out right but if you analyze their relationship/actions/themes its clear that the team (at least some of them) intended jayvik to read as romantic. jayvik also has a lot of parallels with timebomb, caitvi, and meljayce, all romantic pairings.
I think that it was intended to be up to the reader/watcher personally, I’m saying this as a strong jayvik fan. There are DEFINITELY some moments that cannot be explained by ‘oh they’re really close friends’, but it’s rare in the media to see a naturally close male/male friendship. I think that toxic masculinity kinda ruined the idea that men can have meaningful physical friendships with other men, so I don’t fault anyone for interpreting Jayce and Viktor like that
While the show runners apparently did not mean for their relationship to be read as romantic, I’m CONVINCED the animators DID
@@threelayerbeefybeanburrito872 i see what you mean but i think people refusing to see the romantic connotation of jayvik is a disservice to the animators. arcane is animated, every frame, every detail no matter how small it is is important. ex. jayces eyes dilating when hes looking at viktor/when someone mentions viktors name, that is intentional. its also not rare to see close (SUPER CLOSE) m/m friendships especially in mainstream media (ex. friends, b99, community) if you pick any show in any cable channel/streaming site its guaranteed to have a close m/m friendship. i do agree with the toxic masculinity bit, its just sad to see people lump jayvik as another media bros when the animators clearly put efforts into making them "more"
@@404max exactly, they were never just friends, they were soulmates and had a deeper connection. i typed a whole paragraph to some guy in one of the top comments about it lmao
@@threelayerbeefybeanburrito872 I don't understand this take. People can read an obviously ambiguous relationship however they want but, point me to an IP that has close male friendships but they all turn gay. Or better yet, point me an IP that doesn't have male friendships, of various levels of closeness, between officially straight characters. I can maybe think of 1 in which a long relationship between 2 dudes is revealed to be romantic(Supernatural), in 20+ years of consuming media. EDIT: lmaooo I looked into it and the Destiel Supernatural thing isn't even canonized officially, so the actual amount is absolute 0.
Like, that way of thinking implies that is very common for close male friendships to be turned into romantic, thus the "poor hetero men don't have representation :(" when that literally never happens and hetero men and their friendships are THE most represented class in fiction. We DON'T have mlm pairings in mainstream media, we only have them in some media made for queers, and not even that many.
Like, Jayvik being actually canon would be the "rare in the media" thing here, not the opposite.
Every time they were on screen, it felt like they were giving each other an indirect kiss its agape.
Exactly!!!! Agape is the the most powerful form of unconditional love
ahhh the blanket parts, nicely observed
I love that despite Viktor claiming to be seperated from his humanity he still holds both the blanket and cog (which isn’t the exact same one but is obviously a parallel to the og cog in the floating scene). His connection and love for Jayce also being what brought him back is so beautiful and well written 😭 (also just in general the way Arcane shows love as a driving force for sm characters is so beautiful oml (Singed’s love for his daughter essentially being the catalyst for many major events in sm of the characters lives??))
I didn't notice before, but Jayce is holding onto Viktor's cane. Probably to comfort himself, but most likely so he could give Viktor the cane as soon as he woke up so he wouldn't stumble or fall and hurt himself
the fact that Victor is smiling at 15:04 just shatters my soul, knowing this is how Jayce remembered that moment
"Are they lovers?" Worse
I just noticed "The line" is playing on the piano when they hug at 2:29
Oh my god I love you
I’m gonna bawl
The song wasn't released at the time, is it possible ?
@@mamiedubingoI mean I assume everyone wrote their songs around the time they scored it. So the music could be cohesive.
@@mamiedubingojust because it wasn't released yet doesn't mean it didn't exist lmao. shows are usually nearly finished long before they're released.
I'm not really into shipping, and I respect that their relationship is platonic, but Jayce and Viktor easily had the most chemistry on the show. It may not have been romantic, but it was surely magnetic.
"It was affection that held us together" 😭
The fact that they get sucked into the rune gem and then it saps out of existence let's me believe they just transported to another reality and are fine and happy together 😌
he ran and carried Viktor FIVE BLOCKS
I love their interaction more than Jayce with Mel and Caitlyn with Vi.
Honestly? When it comes to Jayce and Viktor, I don't think it matters whether or not people perceive their relationship is romantic.
Either way, its still the truth that they very much love each other. No matter the form, they love each other deeply, truly, and unconditionally. They're soulmates, romantic or not, they complete each other.
There is something so profoundly intimate about their relationship, regardless of how its perceived.
So true. It's like me and my best friend/soulmate as well
This, straight up. A buddy of mine and I are like this. I don't believe in "best friends" because I don't compare friends. But he and I have always been on the same wavelength
@cricker1998 That's literally me and my friend Red. I have many who I trust and love, but we have a different kind of bond

"His gaze softens..."
17:56 VIKTOR GIVES JAYCE'S ARM A LITTLE RUB RIGHT BEFORE THEY DIE :((
I was too busy looking at their expressions in the moment to notice the subtle action, but it is 100% there. It's like a last nonverbal 'thank you' to his good friend. He appreciates that he's there with him :< ❤
EDIT: Damnnn I reckon I'm wrong - it's the way their space colouring works!!! it REALLY throws you off. if you focus on the outline of Jayce's arm, you'll see it moves in an identical way! :D
Still, Viktor looks very much at peace compared to before, it's obvious he appreciates him being there either way.
The smile in his memory omggggg
They're so in love, the official accounts have posted so many videos about them😭
u mean riot?
i like the way it's almost all Jayce's fault but in the end he takes the responsability of what he had done and helps Viktor understand the truth and dies with him...this Is love
Jayce & Viktor: This stuff is dangerous and we’re not gonna use it ever again
Jayce the second Viktor got hurt: and I took that personally
Ever since the finale, I've seen plenty of people defend the "platonic route" by saying that people are just not used to deep male friendships being portrayed in media, and as much as I understand that there are certain issues about the way male friendships are portrayed.... I think the ACTUAL issue here is the polar oposite. What we are NOT used to is deep male x female romantic relationships in media as a whole. Actually, the more I think about it, the more it hits me that, plenty of times, the male friendships get more of the spotlight and more of the depth than straight romance.
Lets take Supernatural as an example: people like to complain about Destiel shippers, saying Dean is straight and that what they have is "brotherly love" and yada yada, but why is that that ALL the most important, deepest, most beautiful and meaningfull relationships Dean has are with other dudes? Why is that that every woman he connects to ends up dead or has to be separated from him? Why is that, that we cant have these beautiful, positive, deep relationships between straight couples? And this logic can be used for plenty of the most popular mlm ships you will find.
Now, when it comes to Jayce and Viktor and their all so platonic "become one with the galaxy" moment, the ONLY couple I can think of that has such a beautiful, magical, trasncendent scene is Adora and Catra from She-ra POP, and they are sapphic! We have been fed plenty of insipid male x female relationships in the last few decades, and if all we have to look foward to when it comes to deep human connection ends up being mlm "friendships"... what can we do if they are written so romantically? Gosh, VI AND CAIT DIDNT HAVE WHAT THESE TWO GOT!
Finally someone else who saw the similarities between JayVik and Catradora
Caitvi went downhill for me. I still ship Caitlyn and Vi, but to me, they seem like a lacklustre version of Marceline and Princess Bubblegum’s connection
Brilliant edit. They were truly soul mates across universes.Also the way they pulverised at the end reminded me of Cassian Andor and Jyn Erso in their final moments- ugly crying
