Are jayce and viktor gay

Only to implode into nothingness with the promise that, no matter what happens, everything will be okay. Riot Games and Fortiche Production’s conclusion to Netflix’s Emmy award-winning League of Legends animated series. JayVik is the slash ship between Jayce Talis and Viktor from the League of Legends fandom.

The community saw themselves in this scene. All the lesbians who have spent the past several years wishing for a Caitlyn and Vi sex scene had their prayers answered with the final act of season 2. Maybe this helped him see the light. It was also incredibly fruity. Like any great show, Arcane coming to an end brings with it a feeling of mourning.

They both bear physical and emotional scars, but have little intention of stopping fighting. The final trio of episodes had so much ground to cover and so many character arcs to wrap-up, but it did the impossible and managed it, leaving viewers with the right kind of lingering questions and just enough answers to feel satisfied.

Christian Linke says the 'Jayvik' ship isn't romantic, despite what fans think. I believe society looks down on gay relationships between men more. The eighth episode saw Jinx escape her prison cell and leave Vi in her place, only for Caitlyn to show up to unlock the cell door and declare that, for some reason , there were absolutely guards around.

Linke revealed in an interview with Collider that while there is love between Jayce and Viktor, he never envisioned it as romantic. Few were left alone, and if they were, this decision was made of their own volition. But fandoms like this live on for years, especially ones that attract queer communities to obsess over characters and expand their universes through a constant stream of art, fics, and theories.

In season one, Vi and Caitlyn found themselves in a situationship which never quite breached the walls of romance. The way it was acted and framed made it abundantly clear to me that queer people were involved in its development, in how Caitlyn and Vi approach one another and swiftly throw reason aside in favour of passion.

But if you read between the lines, it was obvious there was something more between them. In fact, Linke revealed that Viktor was written to be asexual. Jayce tells Viktor there is beauty in his imperfections, and viewing his frail limbs and terminal illness as nothing but weaknesses that need to be eradicated is missing the point of what Hextech is all about.

Jayce and Viktor then hold hands and touch foreheads before fading away, taking the magic of the arcane with them. By insisting on framing Viktor and Jayce as just “brothers” or “friends,” the show risks falling into the “no-homo” trope, where creators deliberately steer clear of portraying characters as gay despite clear romantic subtext.

The only one able to save him was Jayce - his partner, which I stress is both the scientific and romantic definition. Cue an aggressive smooch from Vi as both women promptly tear one another's clothes off. Viktor once told Jayce to destroy Hextech in fear of what terrors it could unleash, but instead decides to save his partner regardless of the consequences.

But along the way, through mistakes they both made over the years, they were driven apart. When Jayce reaches the top of the Hextech gate and confronts Viktor in the final episode, it is referencing their shared history and who they truly are that turns things around. You can read this as platonic if you like, but the behaviour of both characters throughout the second season speaks to something more, with the writing and animation leaning heavily into queerness.

Several key plot threads were held together by relationships both familial and romantic, with Caitlyn, Vi, Ekko, Jinx, Jayce, and Viktor reaching the final moments of their arcs with people they cared for deeply standing alongside them. After Jayce is stuck in the arcane, he suffers a broken leg and has to disassemble his hammer to turn it into a makeshift splint, making him go through the same pain Viktor has for many years.

Arcane lead writer Christian Linke has explained that while there is a "love" between Viktor and Jayce, he doesn't think it's romantic. Maddie also returns and in doing so betrays Caitlyn… only to receive a bullet to the head. Viktor initially wasn't interested in Jayce himself, only what he could've been working on that could cause such a massive explosion.

Arcane is over, and now my life has no meaning. Both for themselves, and the world they have pledged to rebuild. Slowly but surely, the arcane tore his original desires apart and twisted them into something unknowable. Not only because they were simping for both characters, but it seemed like an unflinching display of sapphic love between two flawed yet beloved women.

To be honest, I doubt they'll make Jayce and Viktor get into a relationship since there's already a gay one, especially since it's between two men. “Gay sex is less gay than whatever the hell these two did in this finale,” was the message after the finale of Netflix’s hit League of Legends adaption, Arcane, delivered an emotional end to Jayce and Viktor’s storyline.
