“Are you afraid?

“No…not with you”

[lvrstrsh]

no idea where this apple trend came from but it’s very cute and summery

love Derek with all my heart but he really did spend all of season 1 being as off-putting as possible and then acted genuinely shocked when the 16 year old he was stalking didn’t immediately want to join his emo band. like dude, your vibes are fucked beyond belief and A-posing ominously in the distance isn’t the ice-breaker you think it is

bro has jayce inside of him ‼️

the idea of standing in between a man’s legs who’s just been in a fight and is all bruised and battered while tending to his wounds …. all while his hand (a hand that is usually rough and malicious) is gently placed on the back of your thigh, just below your ass …. he’s looking at you as if you’ve hung the moon in the sky ……….. it gets me going

I find it hard to describe to people how I feel about jayvik (or the characters involved in the ship themselves).

It has been so, so long since I've seen a depiction of exactly what I want in a relationship on screen. Sure, things got close (Hannibal and Will Graham from the NBC show is the second closest example I can imagine), but nothing ever checked every box I had.

Soul-mates are always portrayed as a 'perfect match'. Two people that were, by some definition, made for the other, down to their very mannerisms. But it never goes farther than that. You never get what truly encompasses a *soul bond* - but for Jayvik, I did.

They are, by every definition, sew at the hip. There is no timeline, no possibility that exists that some version of them doesn't meet. It could be modern day, it could be the timeline we see in Arcane - it doesn't matter. Some rendition of their very identities do meet no matter what they do.

Not even just briefly. I truly believe that in Arcane's timeline standards, Jayce and Viktor encounter each other in the most meaningful way. Even if it's a single conversation in that timeline's version, they DO leave an impression. Viktor will always alter Jayce onto a better path for himself and Jayce will always drag Viktor back to the realm of morality.

Is this explicitly stated in the show? Perhaps not. But 'Every timeline, every possibility.... only you could show me this' eludes to it far more than anything else.

Jayce and Viktor aren't just 'soul-mates' or 'brotherly-bond'. See it as you will, but they ARE one being. One soul, split in two, doomed to forever circle one another and collide. Time and space doesn't function without it. There will never be a label that encompasses just *how tightly bound* they are.

THAT is what I've always wanted to see in media. And holy fuck, did I get it.

Jayce kinda herded Viktor around a bit in season one. He for sure overstepped and made decisions for both of them a few times. However what is interesting is that Viktor didn't seem to care. Like he cared about the decision but not that Jayce made the decision if that makes sense.

Like Jayce obviously walks next to Viktor with his hand on his lower back as we've seen in canon. He's also extremely tactile with Viktor in general. Jayce physically used his body to get between Viktor and Heimerdinger...like physically Jayce has a very...'he's mine' vibe towards Viktor.

[lvrstrsh]

The thing is Jayce and Viktor are freak4freak. They are equally fucked for each other. Yearning idiots, pining codependent freaks I tell you.

[lvrstrsh]

Well, folks, the numbers are in. We're in a committed relationShip with @ao3org, and it's called...drumroll...TagTeam! ao3blr was a VERY close second, so go ahead and use that tag too, ya crazy kids.

Play my tricks, fragile mind

Rest your head on me

[lvrstrsh]

I just wanted to draw Jayce shirtless how did this become a comic

[lvrstrsh]

Tumblr x AO3 gives me the vibes of ‘we were best friends for a very long time and have always been compatible, but you (tumblr) had a bunch of shitty relationships and needed time for yourself and I was more then happy to enjoy life as your friend by your side until you surprised me by making the first move’.

[lvrstrsh]
