Plot thesis for Jayce Mel and Viktor (character analyses)
Tumblr media
When I think about what I would like to see in Season 2 of Arcane when it comes to the dynamics of Jayce, Mel and Viktor, regardless of the obvious (that Viktor will leave and become The Machine Herald and Jayce will get more involved in the war between Piltover and Zaun and will most likely deal more with the aftermath of Jinx' actions), I wish for a more Jayvik centric plot but not in the romantic way (even tho I would love that) but more in a way that Jayce will struggle with Viktor leaving, his actions will revolve more around the current threat coming from Zaun and what that means for his dying relationship with Viktor.
And I say that because I do believe (and I will just throw this into the room now) that Mel and Jayce's shared plot is close to being resolved. They started out as pushing and pulling forces for each other. Jayce being her ticket to putting Piltover on the map, bringing innovation and glory to her city while for Jayce Mel is this inspiring icon of power. Schnee said in his last video about why Caitvi didn't get a kissing scene, that Mel seduced Jayce with power and I would agree to that. To a degree. She gave him the means and freedom to realize his dreams and pushed him to become stronger and more independant.
Yet he awakened the softness and this caring side of her, she had burried under the pain of being cast out years ago.
Tumblr media
His soft spirit and need for closure and quite shared moments reestablished the empathy that made her so different from her family, from everyone but her brother Kino.
Tumblr media
And as Schnee already predicted, her plot of Season 2 will most likely revolve around Kino and her trying to fight for her old strong believes, against the war Piltover starts with Zaun. This is where she looses this connection with Jayce, I predict, since she would become this kind woman again. She doesn't need his soft side anymore to remind her. Their shared plot is resolved there.
Now out of totally analytic reasons I was wondering if Viktor could also be secuded by the concept of power. And my thought is: No.
Viktor does not seek power, he never wished to be seen as better, stronger or smarter than anyone. Yes, part of his plot in Season 1 is that he fears to be forgotten but I believe this doesn't come from the need to be somone great but by the experiences he made since he is disabled and was always a cast-out.
Tumblr media
He wants to be recognized for what he is: A smart, humble man that is ready to change the conditions he himself had to grow up in.
Tumblr media
But what would or did seduce Viktor is the question. And I say, it's innovation. He was seduced by what Jayce said at the trial, the sheer possibilities he himself had not been able to think of. This solution that is so different from anything anyone has ever dared to think of. Jayce thinking out of the box. It intrigued him as he said himself and it's also what seduced Mel in the first place (if we don't count her hungry look when Jayce simply walks in, that woman didn't know sht about his research lmao)
Both seeked his innovative mind, but for totally different reasons.
Mel saw the opportunities of her own growth in it while Viktor saw hope for himself and his people in it. And while Viktor helped Jayce to complete his research and bring him closer to his dream of helping people like he was being helped as a kid, Mel gave Jayce the opportunity to grow himself, gave him a glimps of what it meant to be in a ruling position.
But now you maybe wonder: Is Jayce power-hungry?
Was he so easily seduced by power because he seeked it, because this is who he is and that is why Mel became a part of him in Season 1?
And my answer is: No.
At no point did Jayce ask to be in power or a leader, he himself said it in Episode 5 and you see him struggling with his decisions and feel the anxiety and stress he goes through because of this responsibility that was pushed on him.
Tumblr media
I would argue that yes, he was more easily intigued by the idea of being in a position of power than Viktor would ever be but that is because he only and exclusively seeked self determination and the freedom to realize his dreams without any barriers or restrictions. Mel offered him that and that's what secuded him into a relationship. And that is also what made Viktor so appealing. This risktaker, fearless and eager to break any rule the academy and the council had set for Jayce, inspired him. I think, "If you're going to change the world, don't ask for permission." was the line that threw him over the edge, made Jayce not only trust and get him inspired by Viktor, it was the moment he devoted himself to the man.
Tumblr media
Now to the part of where Jayce's plot revolving around Mel resolves in Season 1 and why they won't depend on each other anymore so much in the next Season. With Mel giving him all the means to realize his dreams and visions, pushing him to think of his peoples' needs first and protect his city, she not only spoil and overwhelm him but also made him believe that whatever decision he made was going to help as long as it was for his people, right? Pushing him into building HexTech weapons when all he wanted was to build helpful tools. Row back with her demands when she realized war was no option but forgetting that Jayce by all means was no capable leader. She manipulated him enough to be able to know that others could do the same and they did. So he build his own weapons, feeling that high of power in the factory fight scene but also feeling the desperation of guilt when his pretention cost a child its life.
Tumblr media
Here, there is a moment of branching off. On the one hand, Jayce feels more seperated from anyone that had him make these decisions that led him to this low point, drawing him closer to Viktor.
Tumblr media
And on the other hand it made him understand why after all Mel did choose peace over war. It all collapses in the moment his own invention, that was supposed to help people and make the world a better place, is used to harm and maybe even kill his loved ones in a big final explosion that will bring his arc revolding around Mel in Season 1 to an end.
Tumblr media
It's a symbol for the chaotic path his trust in Mel has taken him down to and we will only be able to know where it takes him in Season 2 when it finally airs.

The fact that I'm using Cyberpunk slang for my notes on Business communication makes me chuckle every time I have to use it.

One of the (many) reasons I deeply dislike the "Annie and Finnick's wedding was only a propaganda move that meant absolutely nothing to anyone" take is that is... simply not accurate?
It is often claimed Plutarch had Finnick and Annie intentionally wear Peeta and Katniss' outfits to send some type of message, but that means to completely ignore how it was Katniss herself that offered to give Annie a dress for her wedding:
“when Plutarch has a fit over what the bride will wear — I volunteer to take Annie back to my house in 12, where Cinna left a variety of evening clothes in a big storage closet downstairs.”
How Peeta himself also made their wedding cake:
“As surely as the embroidery stitches in Annie’s gown were done by Cinna’s hand, the frosted flowers on the cake were done by Peeta’s.”
And to also disregard how everyone else felt and how happy and excited they were to be part of it:
“When it’s announced that children are wanted to sing District 4’s wedding song, practically every kid shows up. There’s no shortage of volunteers to help make decorations. In the dining hall, people chat excitedly about the event.”
All in all, it means to brush aside how everyone perceived their wedding as simply something good, genuinely so, and nothing linked to a false spectacle:
“Maybe it’s more than the festivities. Maybe it’s that we are all so starved for something good to happen that we want to be part of it.”

my actual dream is to draw a short comic about the bit in the council of elrond where aragorn and gandalf explain at length how they captured gollum all the while legolas sweats nervously as it gets more and more difficult for him to say that gollum escaped

i would like to take a moment to appreciate how everyone in community is constantly proving my point that society should be less weird about friends doing “romantic” things together like cuddling, kissing on the cheek/forehead, holding hands, living together/being life partners etc.
annie constantly kisses abed on the cheek and hugs him tightly. they also literally live together despite not being romantic in canon at all, same with annie and troy and abed and troy.
britta and abed cuddled together in the back of jeff’s car during mixology certification. britta also does small things like fix abed’s shirt in urban matrimony and generally sticks close by him a lot.
jeff and britta. that’s it.
jeff and annie definitely have feelings for each other but very rarely act on it. despite this they’re still quite affectionate to one another, with nicknames for the other and hugging and always walking together with their arms locked.
jeff calls shirley “sugar” in the second episode and kisses her on the forehead, she calls him “honey” in response. they also walk out together with their arms locked in the end of the foosball episode.
annie and troy hug a lot and again, live together. plus that whole “look! i’m annie’s backpack!” thing… he’s so silly.
troy and abed are obviously the most clear example of this (despite most of the fandom, including me, shipping the fuck out of them.) they live together. they spend every second together. they hold hands (as confirmed by annie). troy is so comfortable with abed that he instinctively puts his arm around him in curriculum unavailable. abed literally essentially put troy to bed once when he fell asleep after a study session.
abed wiggled his eyebrows at jeff once and i think about it constantly.
annie almost kissed britta once and britta and annie have sincerely considered sleeping together. also britta just straight up agreeing with jeff being like “i love women” as she strokes annie’s arm in the puppet episode.
i love that they’re all friends who do “romantic” things together and remain friends. i love them being so affectionate. more overtly affectionate platonic love in media please and thanks !!

Okay but I genuinely loved how many funny moments were in the final episode. Like it gave me a season 1 vibe. And yeah some were probably not intended to be funny but kinda were anyways
Annie coming to save them on Falco and being like Mikasa you're in the way and then being like "Where's Armin- I mean Pieck?", like girl you're not fooling anyone with this
Also the way she just shrugged at the fact Falco can literally fly like "I didn't think he'd be able to fly either 🤷‍♂️"
The whole okapi bit??? Mikasa believes that she's doing a good job explaining the titan to Annie. And the whole WTF IS OKAPI??? And then after she learned it, she was just screaming the name the whole time. Like she was screaming the same way Levi screamed Kenny's name. Big TIL moment for her
Butt-naked Zeke waving at Levi and being like "I know you want to see me but I don't want to see you" and after finally realizing how meaningful life is, immediately being decapitated??? Lmao
Pieck Ghibli-style running down the Warhammer spear
Falco going for a hug and Gabi suplexing him in the background and the change in her eyes the moment before
Levi's reaction to a lollipop???
All the jokes on the ship? Reiner sniffing the letter, the horse joke, Jean being like "I wish you died bro" to Reiner?? Armin having an important monologue and Annie is like "but I'm a military police" and Armin just straight up IGNORS HER LMAO

Plus one additional thought:
(Feel free to ignore, this kinda ruins the mood, I'm just having a lot of thoughts right now)
I love Jayce like no other but when you try to put a finger on who was to be blamed most for Jinx' attack on the council, I would actually say: Him.
Yes, the Undercity suffered most from the council's ignorance and decisions but it was Jayce who brought HexTech to live, Jayce who's notebook and Hexgem landed in Jinx' hands and Jayce who pushed the Undercity so far with his hotheaded last minute plans that caused so much trouble. Yes, the conflict started way before Jayce's time but his research is responsible of the destruction and even if the real villians are the people on the council... He became a councilor himself, you have to count him in :(

i think if thg characters were playing monopoly annie would steal the monopoly money but still lose anyway. finnick is the banker but he looks the other way bc she’s pretty. when johanna notices she just literally fucking pounces on annie. haymitch takes this as his opportunity to steal even more monopoly money. katniss is already asleep by the first few rounds bc she doesn’t like how long the game is taking. idk i just thought i should share that
