Chilling how a chronic people pleaser like Jayce’s moral compass was thrown outta the window the moment he decided to not give a fuck about pleasing anyone but himself. Resurrecting a person who clearly wants to stay dead. Oh… his love is selfish, his love is unconditional but man is it selfish. Jayce Talis, your devotion for your lab partner outweighing your morals have enchanted me in ways I can’t articulate.

“I’m sorry. I failed you.”

Husk Jayce turning back into a human and immediately apologizing for not being able to stop Viktor.

Idk there's something really sweet to me about fix-it writers. Like, me and you- maybe we couldnt make it this time, but in another universe, a million people saw the pain of our story and are writing us a happy ending, giving us the chance we never had

It hurts to miss you

The thing with Jayvik is that both of them think the other is too good for them. Viktor looks at Jayce and sees the Golden Boy, the Man of Progress, the most eligible bachelor in Piltover, the handsomest man to ever handsome, with a brilliant brain and a heart of gold to match.

Jayce looks at Viktor and sees a genius, his saviour, the one person who believed in him when no one else did. The epitome of Good Intentions even if life had tried to make sure he'd become bitter and fiendish.

They are both each other's adopted stray while thinking the other is way out of their league of legends

I bet both Viktor and Jayce take 4:00 PM naps together. In the lab, on a mattress in the corner, nestled into a collection of old blankets, on the days where they plan to stay late. A one hour break before getting back to work. Everyone also knows they are unavailable during this time. Just normal things to do with your lab partner.

viktor is silly guy and a trouble maker and i wish more people would realize that. i appreciate how much attention jayce’s golden retriever energy and unwavering loyalty is given but lets not forget viktor “this isn’t my bedroom” “at least you didn’t throw up” “i’m not sure how to do that sir” arcane is also silly and goofy. he probably gets up to shenanigans with jayce, probably pulls little pranks and makes sexual innuendos and snorts when he laughs. he has a quick wit and a sense of humor. it’s the reason him becoming so mechanic and cold when he combines with the hexcore is so heartbreaking, it’s like he’s a completely new person.

so i think a thing that a lot of people get wrong about the jayvik dynamic (and i understand why, we love a sunshine/grumpy dynamic) is that viktor snipes or is mean to jayce and this is...simply not true. like at all in the show. possibly the meanest thing he says to him is, "eh, a little egotistical, don't you think?" but it's said with such fondness and playfulness that i don't think it counts. and then the next remotely critical thing he says is, "your mind has grown rigid, jayce," in, again, a gentle, playful voice. that man is fucking down catastrophic for jayce. like, equally obsessed.

oh mother… i was just starting to dream the silliest and softest of dreams

wonder if he ever tried reviving jayce with his herald powers till he went weak in the knees and had to kneel in front of jayce who was absolutely gone by then, maybe he cradled his face, maybe he put his arms around jayce’s neck and tried to see if he still smelled like jayce, maybe he kissed him. I wonder if he could sleep or if he was cursed by having to be awake every minute he lived, wonder if when he took his last breath, the corpse of jayce talis finally started rotting, or maybe they were immortalized by their love.

i always see people look at jayvik and go “omg he’s so hot you know all his classmates had crushes on him” LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER! WRONG!

literally everyone at the academy didn’t wanna talk to jayce because he constantly had that energy of “autistic guy who REALLY wants to tell you about his special interest” but because his special interest was illegal he would just never mention it and instead stand in the corner at parties and if you tried to talk to him he wouldn’t respond properly because he’s busy thinking of hextech, but again, illegal, so he just wouldn’t pay attention to you and if you asked why he would stare blankly at you and say “huh? oh sorry continue”

viktor is even WORSE at parties but his lack of bitches was more due to classism and not personality defects. despite that, when jayce and viktor got together everyone at the academy breathed a collective sigh of relief that their two least eligible bachelors were finally taken OFF the market for good, and only at the price of like 2 explosions
