saw a post complaining about how jock jayce hcs in college aus is inaccurate and bad because he’s actually a Big Nerd and like. hello why can’t a man contain multitudes? i think one of the hottest things about jayce talis is that he’s got the body of a pro athlete and he can put the charm on like a MOTHERFUCKER when he wants to, but at the end of the day he needs to lock himself in a room with his lab partner boyfriend and do nerd shit in order to survive. he’s a conventionally gorgeous man with a charismatic voice but if you talk to him for more than five minutes it becomes apparent that all this guy really cares about is scientific discovery and innovation (and his lab partner boyfriend). you don’t need to stick to one archetype and accept the status quo haven’t you learned anything from high school musical

#‘he would NOT go to parties’ sure he would! man’s not solely an introvert and seems to like Fun #but that’s only if he doesn’t have a chem final that week in which case his ass is NOT leaving his room / the lab for the next few days #in canon it’s his intellect/his creativity that MAKE him a popular guy to begin with. it’s not like the two traits are mutually exclusive #issues happen when he strays TOO far from his science nerd roots #tldr: he can be charismatic and outgoing and also a nerd who needs to retreat to the lab to recharge on the reg in order to function #rambling #jayce #jayce talis #arcane #also his enjoyment of a party would be highly based on who’s there / what kind of party it is / etc #if it’s a PARTY party and not a stuffy high class gala or whatever he’d be a little less likely to slip away into the night out of boredom #not that frat bros would be any better but there’s a middleground here
