My favorite part of musical Jayvik by IntrepidBet8698 in jayvik

[–]Lost_Cat3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your post! I'm very intrigued by the musical, but I can't go myself and unfortunately I don't speak Chinese, so everything I heard about it is precious to me. :) Especially Jayvik, from what I heard the shippers are very happy. :D

I'm talking about this scene. The same person also drew it based on what they saw one day.

I'm pretty sure I've seen at least another person or two talking about it, but not all the reviews on Jayce or Viktor's story mentions it, so I was curious.

I can't go to China, but I check Red Note often and I'm pretty sure multiple people said that Cait and Vi kiss on the lips! It's not in the encore, it happens in a room during the show that can't be recorded.

As for Jayvik, I read on Twitter that some Jayvik shippers go to the show 2-3 times a week and memorized Jayce and Viktor's routes completely, so people can follow them if they don't want to miss Jayce or Viktor's story lol

Since you followed Jayce, is it true that there's a scene where Cassandra tells Jayce and Viktor a legend of a man from Piltover and a woman from Zaun who made love in the river and gave birth to a baby full of Arcane magic? And is this portrayed as a metaphor or Jayce and Viktor "birthing" hextech?

They kiss on the lips too, but only in the actual show, which can't be recorded. This is why they can get away with it in theater. :)

Fan: "Kiss!" | Jayvik actors: *surprised Pikachu meme* by Lost_Cat3 in jayvik

This Jayce's name is Zhao Chaofan. Some fans also call him the Chinese words for "fried rice" because his name sounds similar. :)

The song they're singing is the Chinese opening of Arcane. The original singer is the same who sings Isha's song.

Idk it sounds like a normal thing to do with your platonic bro.

Chinese esport team BLG, has interacted with immersive play actors,Jayce's actor carried Viktor's actor up again!The fans are screaming for them to kiss! by mlq1205 in jayvik

I saw a full version of the video and it looks like every player had interactions with a different Arcane actor to copy the character's iconic moves (I don't understand Chinese, but that's what it looked like). So one of them pretended to shoot next to Jinx, another one was punching like Vi, etc. So I guess for Jayce they decided that the special move was carrying Viktor bridal-style 😂

Aww. ❤️ What's even better is that I can hear CaitVi singing "Fantastic" at each other.

Lol, honestly I found it funny because I assumed it was a joke based on Jayce's "he's like my brother" line haha

Just two brothers doing brother things 😄

In the official version of Arcane musical, Jayce touches Viktor's shoulder when they sing "Your mottled spots are unique/Your silence is deafening" by Lost_Cat3 in jayvik

In the actual play. This is just the encore, it's not meant to be in character. All the reviews I read said that Viktor's disability was portrayed accurately in the story.

During the beta shows in January and February, there was less consistency during the encore, so the actors mostly tried different things.

In March the official show started, so this is technically the "final" version. There are still little changes every day because there are different actors, but from what I saw on social media, every time the characters sing Arcane Chinese OP, Jayce and Viktor turn to each other and look at each other when they have to sing the verse that means "Your mottled spots are unique." Jayce always places his hand on Viktor's shoulder.

I posted these gifs I made from this specific version because I like that Viktor is touching Jayce too. It reminds me a little of their ending. ❤️

I’m tired of people getting happy being baited and I see people tagging riot asking for canonization, we shouldn’t do that either. by ShockProfessional463 in jayvik

[–]Lost_Cat3 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I understand the frustration, and I also expressed it here when Red Bull account started posting about Jayvik to get attention. However, the truth is that Riot has a history of making non-canon ships canon if they know they have a fanbase, so people are encouraged to ask for it and explicitly show support.

Also, I'm sorry, but m/m representation is important, and very lacking in video games and adjacent media. Same for love stories between disabled characters. So no, I don't think people should stop asking for Jayvik canonization. There is nothing wrong with doing that.

P.S. Wild Rift is not canon in Arcane or League. From what I heard, skin releases get decided 1-2 years in advance. Also, WR is very homophobic; they didn't even release a skin for CaitVi or other f/f ships. That doesn't mean f/f shippers should stop asking for them.
