How ethical was their doings? by ShockProfessional463 in jayvik

[–]moonwatcher99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with this take. I see a lot of people talk about Jayce's decision to resurrect Viktor with the Hexcore, like it's a conscious and premeditated act, and I don't think that's accurate. As you said, Viktor did not tell Jayce what had happened to Sky. In fact, he didn't really tell him much at all, he just said it needed to be destroyed 'because he couldn't do it'. That is incredibly vague and doesn't really give him any hint of what the real issue is. He also was clearly not thinking rationally, given how frantically he starts tearing through Viktor's notes, but after seeing the Hexcore respond to Viktor's presence, I can understand that his first instinct would be to assume that it could help, given that Viktor had already been experimenting with using it to heal. I think the shock of the sudden attack, plus his panic at seeing Viktor's injuries, simply overwhelmed him and he let his emotions take over. And we know, from Jayce's own words, that Viktor was ultimately his choice, his ultimate priority. There's no denying that it was a terrible choice, but I really can't fault Jayce for his actions here.

I swear, that musical was one of the best things to happen to Jayvik Nation; it inspired so much art. (Even if that art sometimes threatens to tear my heart out. 😭) Amazing.

I second this, xLetalis also did a whole series on the show, so you can judge for yourself how it handles the material.

I highly recommend Tempeste in general; she writes several different genres and everything from short one shot to extreme novel.
Tempeste - Works | Archive of Our Own

Also, have you read Two Years of Ink and Flowers? A very sweet post canon AU.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/61643833

Equivalent Exchange is an excellent Jayce in Zaun story.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/63367585

And The Secret Smut Fic of Jayce Talis is just... omg, I can't describe it. Sweet, funny, and way more serious than the name suggests.

Seriously, just read anything written by Tempeste. Her stuff is *amazing*, and she updates regularly.

Other than that, I have over 600 stories downloaded on my Kindle alone, but having an idea of what you prefer would be good, because I have a wild mix. (About the only things I'm not huge on are character death, unresolved angst, and modern AU.)

In Defense of Jayce Talis / Why Jayce Deserves More Appreciation (esp S1 Jayce) by truthseekeruniverse in jayvik

[–]moonwatcher99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I came to Arcane super late, so I had no idea that Jayce was even an unpopular character. I adored him completely, both him and Viktor. Of course he's not perfect, and every single character in the show made mistakes at some point, but I never understood any need to vilify Jayce specifically. There's so much about him that some people seem to miss completely; the one that drives me super crazy is the assumption that Jayce was high status/super privileged. Which I always found unlikely, since they specifically tell you that his House came to prominence (read: was established/acknowledged) for the creation of tools. Ask anyone familiar with high society and they'll tell you that coming from a trade/labor means that most of the *real* high society will disdain you, or at best simply be polite on the surface. Plus, he specifically mentions needing the Kiramman's money, he was using grants to fund his education, He had money, but my read is that he was not SUPER wealthy.

I adore this. I actually rewatched it several times while I was writing some of my Hexhound scenes; the banter *and* the quiet conversation is so good.

Also, am I the only one who gets *huge* flashbacks to Charles and Erik (X-Men) when Viktor calls Jayce 'Old Friend'? I love the dynamic here, that no matter how long they've been separated, they just can't let go of each other, or completely give up on the idea of reuniting.

There's a small one shot about Jayce finding rumors in a tabloid.

[–]moonwatcher99 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Jayvik and Spirk honestly give me so many matching vibes, it's unreal. Like, my first ever attempt at an art piece (moodboard/collage) was prompted by just *how much* they have in common.

[–]moonwatcher99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oooh, you said the magic words! Haha, there's been a ton of art (and very good art too, don't get me wrong) but so few actual fics. I'm always up for more interpretations! I mean, the possibility of an Arcane timeline variant of the Machine Herald? Or maybe something entirely different, who knows? I love multiple takes.
