this is so true i care for them so much

In my years in this fandom I've seen a lot of posts that assume Viktor deeply resented Jayce for the time they've spent on hextech or angrily imply he's 'sick of being jayce's assistant' (that's not his job, they're Partners, people.)

so today I bring you a very relevant reel of Viktor in his natural habitat utterly happy in his zone and proud of the work they do together btw. Actual stars in his eyes, if you even care

League Jayce is still not evil! League Jayce is not cruel or unkind. He only tells on Viktor to the academy board when Viktor /decides to add brainwashing to their shared work project & won't take no for an answer/ and even then jayce regrets the way viktor is thrown out of the institution, and the obvious impact it has on his mental wellbeing. When he approaches viktor in his lab he apologizes.

We see jayce treating his forgeworkers like equals (in legends of runeterra) who deserve the utmost dignity and credit for their contributions. We see him being exceedingly polite to viktor and trusting him again when he offers to work together. (in the LoR comic too) No version of Jayce is a monster people just misinterpret him and pass it off as canon. Jayce from league is socially standoffish, but always, always, seeking improvement.

imho the fandom has always assumed jayce would sell viktor out for 1 cornchip or projected gleeful violence into his actions in a way that simply isn't true. "Jayce is going to exile viktor" "Jayce is going to stand with the piltover occupation and hunt viktor down" "Jayce is going to betray viktor" -- I really don't understand the thought process here and why this take is so popular.

The guy who kicked out the president so viktor could do black magic is going to turn on him? The guy who negotiated for the independence of Zaun after ONE WEEK of seeing corruption games play out is going to exile his partner of god knows how many years????????

The guy who literally tells silco "I am trying to save your people from annihilation" is the all-evil monster lurking in the shadows? let's take a minute to unpack. We didn't watch the same show

yeah. yeah. yeah. yeah. ohhgg my god

cursed with loving jayce talis too much in a fandom that absolutely refuses to treat him like a human being. cursed with loving jayce talis too much to humor the heinous boring compulsive heterobait created to retcon a decade of him being obsessed with the man of his dreams. the hardest battles are mine but we will ride again in s2
