I guess why the ending of arcane still doesn’t feel real to me and why jayvik moves me so much is because it defies so much of what I was taught to expect by conventional male-dominated, heteronormative narratives. Because at the end of the story, Jayce had everything he should have wanted. Saved the world. Both Piltover and Zaun respected him. He had strength and charisma and the cool magic hammer he’d fantasized about wielding since he was a kid, and his battle scars only made him hotter somehow. And he had a goddess of a woman expressing trust and care for him, and who probably would’ve liked to get back together with him, at least in some capacity. Meanwhile, characters like Viktor are supposed to die at the end. No matter how sympathetic of a villain he is, the gay disabled guy who irreversibly gave up his humanity to be an evil robot is supposed to self-implode. That character archetype is supposed to redeem himself by taking himself out of the narrative so that the hero can get the happy ending. Someone made a great comparison to the Phantom of the Opera, but this pattern is true for pretty much every mainstream story I can think of. Hell, even Jinx sort of did that, literally ejecting herself from the narrative so that Vi can live in Piltover and get together with Cait. Viktor seemed self-aware of this trope at the end. He had closed his eyes, deciding to accept his own lonely demise if it meant Jayce would live.

But Jayce rejects all of that. The story rejects all of that. And it doesn’t even blink twice to do it. Jayce says all I want is my partner back, and he chooses to die holding hands with Viktor instead. And the story says of course Jayce will choose this, because he always loved Viktor and wanted to be with Viktor more than he wanted any of those other things men are supposed to want. More than power, or respect, or sex, or legacy. Just Viktor. Always Viktor. And in the end, Viktor finally embraces that love, accepts and reciprocates it, in allowing Jayce to be with him in his final moments.

It’s so beautiful and it’s so, so queer. Do not come at me with platonic/romantic discourse because I do not care, I genuinely do not care. The story practically sings with queer love. It’s undooming him from the ableist patriarchal narrative so you can exchange magic wedding rings and hold each others’ souls forever in the astral plane. It’s everything I was afraid to ask for from a story because I never thought I would get it. I still can’t quite believe it’s real, and canon, and carved into the very bones of the story. I love it so much.

I’ve noticed this trend in the fandom where people portray Jayvik’s working dynamic as this kind of mentor-student thing, with Viktor being the cautious, genius guide gently reining in Jayce, the reckless, hands-on gremlin, but NO. That’s WRONG.

They’re both absolute disasters. They built a tea corner right next to all their sockets and cables. Neither has ever looked at a safety manual in their life. Their collective self-preservation level is negative five. They can whip up the most complex, groundbreaking invention in ridiculously little time, but the moment they turn it on, it’s either exploding, on fire, or seconds away from both. Heimerdinger wasn’t their supervisor, he was their babysitter. It’s a MIRACLE they didn’t accidentally kill themselves between act 1 and 2 of s1. I mean, guys, it’s canon that Viktor once said “imma do illegal experiments now”, and all Jayce did in response was say “whatever makes you happy pookie 🥰” and make sure the Council wouldn’t ban it.

And here’s the thing: their brilliance and all their achievements come exactly from how they constantly push boundaries. This isn’t “a sarcastic twink lectures his himbo colleague on how to use screwdrivers”. This is pure mad scientist x different font mad scientist. We were blessed with such a rare dynamic and we need to cherish it more

The whole thing with the writer saying they thought of Viktor as asexual just proves people have no idea what being asexual means. Like sure, he can be asexual but he can still feel romantic feelings towards someone, that wouldn't be the case if he said he thought of Viktor as aroace... But it's still not like every asexual person doesn't feel horny like on god it's about sexual attraction not the sexual activity by itself. 😭😭... It's a whole ass spectrum. I like to think of Viktor as asexual, it kinda fits him, but it doesn't suddenly mean he can't be with Jayce...

Implying that romantic affection and sexual attraction have to both exist in order for a romantic relationship to be valid, and therefore Viktor and Jayce cannot be a couple, is so invalidating to ace folks.

I also have such a gripe with the use of "platonic" to imply friendship and the absence of romance in today's context because it's infuriatingly misrepresentative of the concept of platonic love.

Platonic love is something that transcends carnal attraction, gearing towards a spiritual attraction in the mind and soul, where love still exists in that context. And newsflash, for two people to be in a committed romantic relationship, it's logical to assume that there are elements of a friendship within it, or as the foundation of it. Friendship and romance are not mutually exclusive. So in a way it is actually very fitting for Jayce and Viktor given their ending. And their relationship can indeed be classified as a platonic one. Just wildly different from what Christian Linke implied in the context of an absence of affection, or romantic love.

This is also telling of how society generally views romantic love, that it has to be linked with sexual attraction or the relationship is nulled. Just saddens me that there is such a connection.
