A Little Comic Strip

i hc that jayce got his brow scar bc of a bad fall. his mom gifted him a dark blue blanket (the 1 he gave viktor) after their hike thru the blizzard so jayce could pretend he had a cape and look like the mage, and jayce tripped on it while running to show her how cool he looked and hit his head on the corner of a table. he had to get stitches and everybody at school thought it was a cool fight scar. no he’s just a nerd who tripped on his blanket because he wanted to be a mage. my blorbo

do you ever think vi hesitated because she saw fear in jinxs eyes. that she was forced to once more gaze at powder when she thought she would have to fight jinx. do you ever think—

"In all timelines.. in all possibilities... only you"

I PRESENT MY THEORY

ok I wanna point out some details I picked up on (apologies if this sounds janky Idk how to properly string my thoughts together):

1. we see jayce next to his hammer, reaching out to viktor. the hammer can have multiple meanings, but this pretty plainly implies he is choosing viktor over everything else in his life, as what was seen in the finale ( i.e “now all i want is my partner back” ).

Id also like to point out that jayce is considerably smaller than viktor, as if viktor is a deity to him, his entire world. (the halo behind viktor adds to that)

2. jayce is completely gold, and there are some sort of golden strings come out of viktors eyes. I think this is a way of referencing to viktors appearance during the whole jayvik finale, and I would like to mention that those strings are supposed to represent kintsugi— a japanese art of repairing broken pottery by filling the cracks with gold. kintsugi can be seen as a metaphor for life, that imperfections and brokenness can be beautiful. ( wow, that sure sounds like someone’s speech, I wonder who!! )

I’ll also mention that viktors body has holes and gashes in it, like hes broken pottery, and jayce being solid gold is a way of showing that he is sort of the “gold” that holds viktor together. he is the one showing viktor that there was nothing wrong with him, that he was worthy of love, and that jayce would always accept him for his flaws.

one more thing I’d like to point out is viktor having some roots of brown still in hair— signifying that while even in his godly form, he’s still there. that inspite of all of the hardships he endures, the acts he will take, no matter how far he gets from his humanity, he’s still viktor.

also just wanna say this piece is absolutely gorgeous, I can’t even begin on how much I adore it !! it’s so well rendered, the details and textures are bloody exquisite !!!!! thank u for feeding jayvik nation

Finally got the motivation to fully finish a piece. Here ya go, it's FULL of symbolism like every single element is there for a reason. Have fun with making up theories I'd love to read them :)

Oh sorry, just thinking about how jayce and viktor canonically love each other’s eyes

(viktor being the one addressing jayce in “the line” and thinking his eyes are pretty)

(viktors eyes being more illuminated in jayces memory than in actuality)

the way his eyes SHINE when he was hugged 🥲🥲

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!!
