Saying Mel falls into the "Disposable Black Girlfriend trope" just because of jayvik completely disregards the writing of her character and how her relationship with Jayce is an echo of her problems with her mother and city.

Now I'm not saying the dbg trope is not a GENUINE problem in media, because it is, but usually this trope consists of a black woman with lousy writing who's tossed away for two (usually white and gay but that is a totally different long story that deals with a long history of racism and erasure of black women in queer spaces for the sake of gay men) characters who get with each other.

This is not that and I need to explain why. Jayce and Mel UNDOUBTEDLY loved each other at SOME point, but their relationship did not have solid ground hence them breaking up. Mel wanted to be with Jayce because it symbolized rebellion, a unique way of looking at life and helping people. It symbolized something she was willing to risk everything for to see it prosper because this was the city she was building for her family in Noxus, to show her family she WAS the wolf and could handle be a leader, and a peaceful one at that. But to Jayce, she symbolized high society, a seat at the very table that tried to get rid of him, a part of the power he thought he deserved and a place where he knew he could MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR THE PEOPLE.

The two of them loved the idea of one another, but never independently, the other. To say Mel is the disposable black girlfriend is to also ignore everything she went through in the season finale and everything that she's becoming, especially with the information that Noxus (where Mel is and will most likely be a lead character again) will be another series location. Mel is a complex lead whose story revolves around her at home life and familial relationship. Yes she's used as a mirror to parallel Viktor but that literally doesn't mean she's disposable, breaking up just means two characters were not meant to be and they recognized that.

Also in what world would Jayce be able to consciously even want to get back with Mel knowing she had magic and he was on a mini solo-war against the arcane? Where he thinks she's been able to control her magic this whole time and would constantly wonder why she didn't save Viktor because if she had, none of this would be happening?

That man does not wanna be with her 😭 he has literally always thought about Viktor.

And Mel has always thought about her family

They've both always seen each other as a way out their problems and a gateway/mirror to the ones they love. You could even say they're two sides of the same coin.

Also, Mel, Ekko and JayVik literally saved everyone in the end so idk how you could think this when Mel literally helped save the whole world as an imperative character to the plot.

Just want everyone to know I predicted the timeline JayVik stuff with my 3 hour long JayVik playlist that starts with someone talking about finding someone across every timeline over and over

And as I look at the description I'm realizing the invisible hand that carved JayVik was always Viktors hand

Ok this probably sounds SO DUMB but

Jayvik Astronaut au please hear me out.

This stemmed from the scene in s1 where they float in the air because of hextech kinda so if you were wondering why I thought of this that's why,

But just listen, engineers who create space equipment called Hexware. Designed as a security system (and unknowingly later on turned into weapons) for astronauts and their companion ai systems

Obviously one day something gets messed up on this one planet and they end up sending the two to ACTUAL SPACE and they're both like "OMG??? LIKE WE'RE GOING TO REAL SPACE??" and there's excitement and praise and they think they've made it and stuff but somethings wrong obviously and they end up fighting for their lives up there and stuff.

Will they live? Jaybe...jaybe not. Idk if I should expand on this or not, if I do I'll write something for it

I'm having a ROUGH time after episode 6 man

I truly think there are a lot of interesting factors of Viktors "Ascension" and becoming one with the Arcane but one of my favorite bits is the fact that he still sees Skye.

Like regardless of him losing himself becoming numb and devoid of understanding the human concept of emotions, grief still overpowers him. He sees her in every moment I feel, in every smile and laugh of the Zaunites because she meant so much to him while he was down there. But also, the arcane took her. The hexcube absorbed every fiber of her. And you'd think that would make him hate the arcane, despite what he is and becoming, more than he already does. But it's my belief and semi-theory that Skye is APART of the Arcane now, as much as he is.

And I yap about this all to say, Viktor is the Arcane, Skye is the Arcane. And in some crude, manipulated way, Viktor is Skye now, and she him. They'll never be apart again because they're one.

Or the Arcane is manipulating any human he has left with the visage of Skye which is honestly worse and I refuse to think about it because I wanna believe one thing in Viktors life goes right.

"it was affection that held us together"

You're telling me that when Jayce was building hextech into weapons he was thinking about how much he loved Viktor?

You're saying that when Viktor was taking shimmer behind Jayce's back, he was thinking that he loved Jayce so much?

You mean when Viktor was literally dying and messing with the hexcube after he told Jayce he wouldn't, he thought about his love for Jayce? He thought about how much he HAD to stay in this world with him? To continue working by his side?

You mean when Jayce was carrying Viktors dying body and looking at the hexcube, knowing Viktor wanted him to destroy it

All he thought about was "I love you".
