like i really don’t care about puppy play or whatever floats your boat. i just need you guys to think critically about what you’re doing when you have a white character call a brown character a dog. especially while they’re fucking.

side note i need to never see that comic page where viktor calls jayce a piltie dog ever again. can we please use our brains here. PLEASE.

The one time they manage to get Jayce’s skin tone right is for the ugliest bust figurine you’ve ever seen in your life

Finished up this piece of Viktor and Jayce #jayvik #viktor #jaycetalis #viktortalis

All I do is work and think about wife. do it for him (Jayce Talis)

Look okay irl has been busy as hell and I've been coping by imagining modern bearded Jayce who wears tight shirts, a watch, goes to the gym and visits his mom on the weekends. booty shorts. heart full of love and wonder, an engineer. tattoos. booty shorts. lot of booty shorts.

The true Hogwarts Legacy is 70k pounds donated to the people who took the legal definition of 'woman' to the UK supreme court and got a ruling that excluded trans women. You can't 'separate the artist from the art' when the proceeds of the art are used to attack trans people.

do you think there's a universe where they're happy #jayvik

Have we considered modern Jayce with tattoos. maybe eye glasses. do we see my vision

seeing a lot of tlou posting so this is a good reminder for everyone

Not a fan of this new trend we’ve got over here where artists come over here, knowing the people here left the fascist app and make a point to avoid knowing what’s happening over there, and start posting like their mentions aren’t hot on Twitter

Yo I’m not sure if you saw but the Black essayist you sent 70k followers after on Twitter because you couldn’t handle someone having criticism of Arcane said they don’t forgive you around 16 hours ago on that app. Kind of interesting how you haven’t posted this artwork over there yet.

Taps the sign. Our words are performative and part of the problem if we do not do exactly this. We are not above criticism or responsibility for our actions, just because we are saying what the black community has been pointing out for years.

last part of rant 4 right now i think, if you are a white queer do not separate ur self from what other white queers r doing when you speak about it. even if you, yourself are not partaking in this stuff personally, we are still obligated to leave room open for us to be criticized ourselves,

transphobic” when they r literally just pointing out how weird a good portion of jayvik fans treat black characters says so much about how white queers tend to victimize ourselves at the expense of black people especially at the expense of black people from our own fucking community

people also tend to ignore the fact that queer and trans black people in this fandom r often receiving so much bullshit where ever they r in pretty much any fucking space here. automatically assuming anyone criticizing how a community interacts with its black fans, is “being homophobic, or-

like yeah it actually is really suspect that the white head writers of arcane made all of the “oppressors” in arcane people of color and i curse them for that everyday bc now we get people who say absolutely horrendous shit about jayce and mel. and they think they’re in the right for it

everyday i gotta get on here and see people think that bc racism wasn’t part of the world of arcane they can write about black and brown characters as if they’re exempt from our real world implications. that’s not how anything works.

Jayce and Viktor beating each other up when I'm just trying to take my ten. VIKTOR GET OFF HIM. shit. puffs my cigarette

we are starting this week by LOVING HIM MONDAY

The rampant racism, especially misogynoir, that gets hand waved away because people enjoy the art of those perpetuating vile hate continues to disappoint. Everyone has the capacity to grow and learn, but the lack of awareness or desire to do better in this fandom is astonishing.

It's extremely transparent and wrong. it's so god damn wrong and proves every single point I've seen made about jayviks. No accountability, doubling down on antiblack behavior. I'm barely scratching the surface here and it doesn't feel enough while also, everyone in the echo chamber KNOWS what I'm

the Jayce struggle... #jayvik

Mini jayvik bajo la lluvia #jayvik #arcane #fanart

Taps the sign. I'm not saying these things for no reason or without cause. I'm trans and queer just like everyone else here and I'm asking for everyone to really think on what I'm saying. please.

>_> this app seems to be an echo chamber for everyone to diss Mel fans and call them aggressive bullies. Mel fans aren't on here to defend themselves - and thats.. a good thing? to everyone here? avoiding the arcane twitter drama (calling out racism) instead of addressing the problem?

Fuck dude shit fuck YOU GOT HIM!! YOU GOT HIM HES DOWN

Gonna tap the sign again. Do not like those posts to absolve yourselves of guilt. I don't post them to do that, for me or anyone else. This is a real, real problem and I want us all to take whatever uncomfortable feelings we have and think, listen, learn, and do better.

Does no one have an ounce of compassion, of empathy? None of us? I'm a white trans person in a queer relationship and jayvik are EVERYTHING to me and I can sit down and shut up and listen to black voices when they say my community is harming them. It's not hard, it doesn't take ANYTHING from me.

Threatening Mel fans with more gore fics about Mel. "That's not ME though" doesn't cut it if Mel fans, the black fans in the fandom, are asking us to address it and not just let this stuff slide.

I don't condone the ableism or homophobia said, but I don't condone harassing black women either. The amount of abhorrent shit I've seen in the past 24/48 hours makes me sick to my fucking stomach.

It's kind of overwhelming (but not surprising) that most big jayvik accounts aren't talking about the rampent racism in our sphere, this has been an issue for months, years, reduced to "shipping wars" and "petty drama" with Mel accounts (black women) being dismissed and called aggressive.

it’s actually so easy to treat mel like her own multifaceted complex character (even if you don’t ship her with jayce and you ship jayce and viktor together) if you aren’t a racist freak. by the way. mel get behind me

This doesn't undo the damage done, black fans have every single right to be angry. This shit will happen again, without a doubt, and I want everyone to see that and how fucking awful it is for black fans to experience. It's racist, it's painfully fucking unfair. They deserve to feel safe here.

Actually, HERE is my last thought: don't give a fuck for just a week, keep checking yourself and the content you engage with. Keep the momentum of talking about this, checking your own behavior and speaking up about the rampant racism in this community.

A final word for tonight. Do not like those posts to absolve yourself, do not share them to make yourself feel better. I didn't post them for that or to console my own guilt. I'm so serious. We need to all sit with this shit, recognize that we've been letting it happen and speak up more.

Comfort is a privilege rooted in white supremacy. I feel guilty and I want other jayvik people to feel it too and DO something! Our discomfort is NOTHING compared to black fans, black women, who have endured this shit for YEARS. Please, please learn from this like I'm trying to.

This has caused me to rethink things I've engaged with or remained neutral on, and it's terrible that THIS situation is what made me look into it more. It's terrible that it had to get this bad for me, a white jayvik fan, to give a shit and say something.

Black fans (black women specifically in this context) should not be made to feel uncomfortable/unsafe in this fandom and this shit KEEPS happening and should have been stopped when it started

Also to note - from what I've seen, Sky is also tortured in the fic. It is a reoccurring problem in the arcane fandom (and specifically the jayvik sphere) that black characters are subject to stereotypes and severe mistreatment, as a gag or in more serious context like the weird murder/torture fics

You can like Jayvik and not be a freak about Mel. Easiest shit ever actually.

I'm all for fiction and exploring dark tropes but there's some that bleed into reality and shouldn't be done. Choosing the only black female character to torture and assault in a fic is... disgusting

Happy loving her Friday 💖✨ #arcane #melmedarda

Been thinking about this a lot

serious post for a moment i don't really have any interest in writing jayvik or meljayvik but i figured i should be upfront here: i don't tolerate racism especially toward black characters and i don't want to be around people who excuse it. fan spaces are already awful for black fans to navigate

Today's lunchtime doodle :') #viktor

not broken. just lost #viktor

i just wanted to draw jayce in that one fancy shirt he wore for a single scene and this happened - #jayvik

although bluesky keeps suspending him and other desperate Palestinians, ahmad won't back down— he has no choice. no one wants to be in this position but it's necessary especially with constant threats of further displacement, direct from the IOF. please help him out 🙏🏻🖤
