Looking for mutuals who are into jayvik, I need friends :,)
I have a hard time making online friends so this is my first real effort to try and have some sort of community.
I don’t make a ton of content or anything so I find it hard to fit into fandom communities, since I just don’t have the time or energy to do art or writing. I like to rp. I have a lot of OCs as well.
(I’m a huge fan of oidingus btw if you’ve heard of them :3)
i bring a sort of "this character is canonically malnourished and would gain at least a couple pounds during their hypothetical healing arc wherein they get better" vibe to the function that people dont really like
In all timelines, in all possibilities! This week’s Ship Sunday is about JayVik, the ship of Jayce Talis and Viktor in the League of Legends and Arcane fandom. Before its popularity surge due to Arcane, the pairing was usually known as Jaytor, VikJay or VikJayce. Vikjayce is now more commonly used for their League versions, while Jayvik is used for their Arcane counterparts.
The pairing has been shipped since Jayce was created to be Viktor’s foil in League in 2012. Their popularity skyrocketed after the release of Netflix’s Arcane, particularly after season 2 in 2024. Jayvik is one of the fastest growing pairings of the show and video game fandom, being the most popular ship during the first bimester of 2025 on Tumblr and, at that mark, reaching nearly 10k new fanfics since the release of season 2.
Popular tropes include trans Viktor, alternate universes/time travel, and post-canon explorations. There are also different tropes that are popular depending on if you’re reading Vikjayce or Jayvik, with some works even exploring the dynamics between both pairings at the same time (alternate universe shenanigans, anyone?).

Some art of Warrior Cats Au jayvik during their time as apprentices. Sagepaw is Viktor and Goldenpaw is Jayce.
Singedpelt, Sagepaw's mentor, realises pretty early on what's going on between his apprentice and Goldenpaw (He does NOT like Goldenpaw).
Singedpelt tries to maintain distance as a metnor, but still cares about Sagepaw. He sees how the clan treats his apprentice and knows things can only get worse if he continues his closness to Jayce. He knows the dangers of close relationships because he had his own kit once.
Also, I imagine that Singed believes in Star Clan and all, but sort of hates them because they won't let him see his daughter. Just a sad sort of Headcanon. Maybe it's a punishment, or maybe she's not even there because she's still alive, who knows.

Viktor returning to Zaun should have received way more emphasis considering he's like spent probably the past decade in Piltover, returning rarely if at all, and you could make an argument that the way he's trying to do things now, of people neeing to be fixes and perfected, is a very Piltover way of seeing people (even his perfect puppets are white and gold, colors primarily associated with Piltover, whereas darker and richer colors, like Viktor’s own color palette in season 2, are more associated with Zaun). Viktor being a foreigner in his own home while he was never able to shake being a Zaunite in Piltover would also just be heartbreaking. Loneliness is one of his central themes ... he belongs nowhere.
Realizing the fact that i've been hyperfixated on Jayvik for almost a year now. Like an entire year of my life.
There has not been a day in the last YEAR I have not yapped someone's ear off about these bastards. I've written fanfiction, I've drawn them, I've gone on several-hour-long rants about them- the brainrot is really, really bad.
shout-out to the crippling urge to talk about them or I'll blow up
