ARCANE LEAGUE OF LESBIANS: 2x08 - “Killing is a Cycle”
JAYCE VS VICTOR's Fight Scene
Arcane Season 2 |Act3|
[casually tears a hole in time and space to save you from yourself]
I'm going to explain the theory that Jinx is not actually dead
(I know this is long, I promise it's worth it)
This starts in chapter 8 of season two.
We see Jinx in the prision, she's devastated, lost, defeated, and wants things to end. And we see the first interaction she has with the voice of Silco. In this interaction Silco tells Jinx that "killing is a cycle" and that it would continue. But Jinx says she's "done running in circles", meaning: she wants to stop this cycle. To which Silco says:
And later, when Vi goes to visit Jinx, and Jinx tricks Vi and escapes the prison. Vi then asks her what she will do, Jinx answers:
And now Jinx knows the way to break the cycle, is by leaving.
Next time we see Jinx is in episode 9. She is still in the same mood as before, and now she cuts most of her hair off and burns The Last Drop
Burning down The Last Drop and letting go of her hair shows this closure. Later, she tries to kill herself, which is her way of "walking away" to "break the cycle".
But then Ekko shows up, saves her, and they go to save Vi and the others together.
At this point, Jinx wants to stop the killing and wants to leave, but she will always want to save Vi ("I'm always with you. Even when we are worlds apart").
But she still wants to break the cycle. She still needs to let go.
So, as she saves Vi from Warwick with the monkey bomb explosion, she escapes and leaves Piltover.
And we get a hint of that in the final scenes of the show when Caitlyn is going through her mother's database. She finds a blueprint of the hexgate tower and finds secret air ducts in the place where the explosion happened.
We also see her holding a part of Jinx's bomb.
And after seeing the blueprint she has this look. Like she's thinking "is it possible she survived?"
And in the very last scene we see one of these things that is flying away from Piltover.
Which reminds me of Season 1 Episode 1:
She has always wanted to ride one of them.
Maybe, this is her new way of walking away, instead of dying.
And the two frames are almost exactly the same, it couldn't not be a reference to that s1 moment.
And I know this theory may sound dumb but, why would they show us Caitlyn looking at those blueprints then? Every scene, every frame in Arcane is carefully designed. The team is very good, they wouldn't just show it for no reason. It wouldn't make sense. Especially because they have only 9 episodes of 40 minutes each (except 9 which has 50) to develop everything that happens in season two. And there are A LOT of things going on, they don't have time to spare. If they chose to show us that, it had a very important meaning.
Also I think it's kinda bad If Jinx just dies, I wouldn't like that ending, at least not like this.
i just need to express my love for this scene.
they literally coalesced in the most beautiful way imaginable. and i've been seeing a lot of people upset with the lack of a kiss. but, this scene should make very clear the love they hold for one another, and i actually enjoy it more without a kiss. touching forheads like this is actually a form of affection seen in the undercity, too. (cry) but what im trying to say is that their destinies are literally intertwined now forever, in every single timeline they will find each other. they were doomed to their own fates to save eachother. and jayce CHOSE to die with viktor, viktor pushed him away. he knew that this was his own end. jayce would rather die than live WITHOUT viktor. I MEAN, COME ONNNN. SOBBINGGGG. all viktor wanted was acceptance. in season 1 jayce would refer to viktors illness as a burden, and viktor in his machine form was his way of ridding himself of all his imperfections, as well as for everyone else. he wanted peace by eliminating human suffering.
but jayce realized viktors beauty in his imperfections. he loves him with them, and showed viktor he was never broken.
and that my friends is HOW DOOMED GAY YAOI SAVED ALL OF HUMANITYYY (and ekko ml) RAHHHH

my post
the way he dragged his finger up that man’s face
THE WAY VIKTOR WAS MERE INCHES AWAY FROM JAYCE’S FACE AS HE TRIED TO GET HIM TO BECOME HIS PARTNER AGAIN.
THE WAY HE WRAPPED HIS LEGS AROUND JAYCE AND LIFTED UP HIS HEAD TO MAKE HIM LOOK AT HIM?????
freaky as hell….
long choppy bangs, shaved head, chest wrappings... it's Vi's blood in Jinx's veins too

the way his eyes SHINE when he was hugged 🥲🥲
jayce’s final conversation with viktor was sooooo. It was never about this grandeur or “glorious evolution” it was always about that boy in the undercity, playing with his boat and having to look up at the other kids. It was always about the kid with the bad leg wanting to play with everyone else. So he tried to change himself, make himself perfect—but the burden of change was never supposed to be his. He shouldn’t have to be perfect in order to be loved. And Jayce saw this, told Viktor, “you were never broken.” And Viktor, now a twisted, gnarled thing, warped in his pursuit of perfect, looks across his sea of failure and asks, “why do you persist?” Because he’s not perfect now: he’s grey and damaged and evil, right? But the answer is so obvious. It was never about Viktor being broken, or perfect, or a so-called Herald to Jayce. As long as Viktor is Viktor, Jayce won’t leave. Because he promised. He promised.

I could follow you to the beginning
Just to relive the start
Maybe then we'd remember to slow down
At all of our favorite parts
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
