Can you spare some thoughts on possessive Jayce?

Oh absolutely.

So just a little disclaimer, while I see them both as being a little possessive of each other in their own ways, I don't think either of them are aggressively possessive. They're jealous of each other's attention, especially with how quickly they got on the same brainwave. And there's a lot of jealous Viktor content out there (not for no reason. Listen I love Jayvikmel and think in an ideal world there's a wonderful dynamic of Mel going "this is my boyfriend Jayce and this is Jayce's soulmate, Viktor" but I can't deny the looks Viktor shoots when Mel is around.)

(Viktor you just met this man. she just saved both your hides. stop looking at him like you're five years married and he's flirting with the waitress)

But I DIGRESS. My point IS that there's a lot of jealously pining/possessive Viktor content BUT I think there's just as strong, if not a stronger, case to be made for possessive Jayce.

Because Jayce is already, in canon, very protective of Viktor. And being protective is like one half step and a shuffle from being possessive. That's the whole reason possessiveness is so easily romanticized, because of the protected and cherished feelings it can elicit. It's why a more toxic expression of possessiveness is an erotic fantasy!

And Jayce's protectiveness over Viktor is already SUPER physical. I know I know. We all know. It's like "yeah yeah Jayce can't stop touching Viktor I've seen it before"

But I can't get over how it's not just constant back touches. When Jayce reaches for Viktor he almost always puts himself to the side, facing Viktor with his arm wrapped around to Viktor's back. It's a very shielding stance that he falls into around Viktor like that's his natural state. In the bottom right one Jayce only starts to reach, but he still turns his torso so that it's facing Viktor.

Even when they aren't touching, it's like his natural stance around Viktor is squared the fuck up between Viktor and the world, or practically looming protectively over him.

(and OOF sorry Mel for that screenshot but uh. That's. Quite a stance. Girl get out of that polycule, those two are nuts)

Fandom rightly assigns Jayce as a sweet puppydog of a man. I often call him a golden retriever with the anxiety and energy levels of a husky. But with Viktor?

Jayce is possessive over Viktor the way a guard dog is possessive.

(it's another reason I adore that one brief moment where Viktor smacks Jayce's hand away on the bridge. Viktor doesn't even look up as he does it, he just automatically waps that shit down and Jayce flinches his hand back. It shows how aware Viktor is of the dynamic and that he isn't smothered in the slightest by it. He only allows it to resume after Jayce apologizes. and once again I am roasting a good chunk of fandom for needing season2 to make them realize that Viktor is the Dom here. Guard dogs have a collar and a leash.)

Jayce says: This is mine, do not touch. Also though!

Jayce isn't unaware unaware of the differences in their physique or the fact that Viktor is actively deteriorating. He's also well aware of the fact that he can take a hit, where Viktor can't.

Remember, Jayce had to watch his mother collapse and nearly die, and he couldn't do shit all about it. He was helpless, alone and desperate. We can assume that at this point, it's only him and his mom, that's his last bit of family, and he can't do anything to help.

Now there's Viktor. Viktor who has quite literally saved Jayce's life, given him back his purpose. Not only that, they have improved on that dream together. And now, this new family of his, thus man who saw his potential when even his mother had given up on him, is slowly waisting away in front of him.

The purpose of HexTech is to improve the lives of the common people, yes, but as time goes on, for Jayce, it becomes more and more about saving Viktor.

Jayce puts himself physically between Viktor and anyone else because he can't protect Viktor from the disease that's inside him. This is also why he's so awed and excited with Hexcore, it's the best solution they've encountered so far! And he doesn't place himself between Viktor and the plant until it starts to die. As soon as the 'solution' presents itself as a problem or possible threat, Jayce places himself between it and Viktor.

This is all to say: Jayce CANNOT conceive of himself existing in a world without Viktor. He will do anything, literally anything, to protect the sole person who believed in him in spite of everything everyone else was saying. He's loyal to a fault and HE will die for those he loves, but he can't accept the other way around.

People talk about how hard long distance relationships are but nobody talks about the struggle of long distance friendships. I would give my left leg right now to just be able to sit in our pjs and watch movies or to just be able to give a big hug.

Living in Nothern Canada and talking to American Friends all

Friend: -asks question pertaining to the conversation we were pre piously having-

Me: I have no damn clue. I almost ran over a moose.

Friend: What the fuck Canada?

I feel truly Canadian tonight...and extremely shaky.

I have a kitten now, and I bought him a new toy. I’m killing myself laughing watching him try to figure it out.

‘In that dream I thought the eastern sky grew dark and there was a growing thunder, but in the West a pale light lingered, and out of it I heard a voice, remote but clear, crying: Seek for the Sword that was broken: In Imladris it dwells; There shall be counsels taken Stronger than Morgul-spells. There shall be shown a token That Doom is near at hand, For Isildur’s Bane shall waken, And the Halfling forth shall stand.’

middle-earth meme: eight characters (3/8) ➝ boromir, captain of the white tower

And seated a little apart was a tall man with a fair and noble face, dark-haired and grey-eyed, proud and stern of glance. He was cloaked and booted as if for a journey on horseback; and indeed though his garments were rich, and his cloak was lined with fur, they were stained with long travel. He had a collar of silver in which a single white stone was set; his locks were shorn about his shoulders. On a baldric he wore a great horn tipped with silver that now was laid upon his knees.

Do you ever think about the possibility? That I could be royalty? Well, I don’t know, it’s kind of hard to think of yourself as a duchess when you’re sleeping on a damp floor. But sure, every lonely girl would hope she’s a princess.
