I'm glad that people are still having fun on tumblr even after we found out about the frightening ghoul that reblogs posts but doesn't say anything

Underrated JayVik moments/lines (11/∞)

[The crystal being set on the inside of Jayce's wrist.]

...as opposed to the outside, where you'd normally expect to see the jewel of a wristband like this. It's a simple fact that still carries so much weight:

Of course, one thing it signifies is simply how it's not for show, not an adornment, but instead something deeply personal to Jayce.

Beyond that, however, there is just something so symbolic about keeping a memento directly on top of your veins like this. Where you might feel for a pulse, or - you know - cut in order to end your life (Jayce's suicide attempt just so happens to be the only time he takes it off, too - he doesn't even take it off during sex).

And while it's not something I noticed consciously for the longest time, everytime Jayce rubs his thumb over the crystal, as he so often does... he is inadvertently also baring his wrist and tracing his lifeblood; his heart, his "whole life".

Jayce is quite literally carrying the stone, the beauty and the dreams it represents cased in gold and close to his heart.

And I don't know about you, but I can just never get over how - even though he won't know it for many years - what this gem really is at the end of the day, is the bond Jayce shares with Viktor across time and space made manifest. Given to him by Viktor in order to set them on their path to each other.

At which point, when Jayce does find out, it is then fully embedded into his body and his very essence; to be - at long last - dug out of his veins, gifted to and shared with his own Viktor during their final moments.

I don't know, man... the layers of symbolism with these two sometimes actually makes it more difficult to write these posts because there is just so much to consider. For instance, in this topic alone we have:

You see the issue here? I feel like I can never truly get to the bottom of every facet I want to talk about in any of these posts (while still remaining coherent, that is).

Then again, I guess all that really means is that you are cordially invited to dig deeper if you wish to.

Part 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11/12

...So anyway, I dug deeper.

And I found another very fascinating layer to this which - quite frankly - I have absolutely no idea how it could have escaped my notice in the initial making of this post.

I wrote the entry under the assumption that the crystal is always on the inside - when in fact, for most of the show, it actually isn't.

In every scene prior to the first time jump, it is indeed on the inside (implying that it likely also had been that way hitherto), but after the time jump and up until episode 7 of season 2, it is instead always on the outside.

Ya know - in perfect tandem with how Jayce's changing priorities, his emerging larger-than-life persona as the "Man of Progress" and the dazzling Mel bait of striving for personal influence first in order to do more good later, have slowly but surely pulled him away from his dreams and Viktor.

Until this happens:

So yes: I still stand by everything I said in the initial post, and would merely like to add how you can actually glean even more from the position of the crystal than even I was aware of.

And yes, I did in fact watch every single scene with Jayce in it just to make this addition that hardly anyone will see. 🙃
