i just personally think frottage and desperate first-time handjobs are often way hotter to read about than penetrative sex 😞 i am not opposed but i am not the target audience for posts about destroying *anyone's* holes. wish i could find more of my people, u know??

So The Thing Is--and i say this as a neutral statement of fact without prescribing any takeaways--that bottom viktor is overrepresented in the fandom but bottom jayce is overrepresented in the actually good fanfiction, particularly in the last, idk, six months

[v accurate to a large and vocal contingent of the fandom but i did want to add a quick Those People Aren't Real Viktor Stans disclaimer when sharing]

you know i am really more of a season one viktor appreciator but he was definitely very cute and pathetic in his season two mindscape. someone should write a fic where he gets trapped in there and jayce has to rescue him. don't ask me where exactly this diverges from canon

i was gonna post something about a stillwater au where jayce and viktor only get to know each other and fall in love through letters as viktor continues jayce's research but then i remembered that lapsi's break, repair. break, repair. already did that perfectly

real viktor enjoyers know

☹️

kinda bummed that i don't have enough reach to get on the jayvik discourse blocklist, tbh bsky.app/profile/did:... @archer111.bsky.social add me to your list i am 5/5 on qualifying topics

bump! fics get buried very very quickly these days, anyone letting me know they read and liked it rly does mean a lot when its kinda flying under the radar ;;

THIS imo is peak fandom. this is what fandom is all about. finding new literal and metaphorical crevices in a canon work to joyfully shove literal and metaphorical dicks into. beautiful work

Its like… Vik’s body has so much potential… you know what I mean…

just came across a tiktok of someone saying they use an extension to change the names in fics to their ship and i think that's the problem with modern fic culture. people consume it mindlessly as some cheap romance / smut rather than engaging with them as a piece of unique literature from someone.

jayvik fandom so christianpilled that happily ever after for them is a nuclear family and capitalism. while the oppressive structure in Piltover is left completely untouched. fuck fighting the system, Viktor doesn't care about the undercity anymore cause he had babies

bro

jayce and viktor doing math in a fanwork starter pack

the other thing that's driving me absolutely insane about this ao3 tagging discourse is seeing multiple people go "use some other website if you don't want to use tags" or claiming that not tagging extensively is using ao3 wrong

yes!! YES!!

the fandom can dress it up all they want as a “soft epilogue” but the overall consensus that these two insane men need to be defined into the roles of husband and wife with a happy ending that coincidentally fits conservative propaganda w/ multiple bio children…it’s weird and should be questioned!!

personal preferences on tagging aside: no, helping people more easily filter out fics where the wrong person bottoms was not "why ao3 was made" learn some history!! i despair!!

✨ fic post ✨ No Potential Conflicts of Interest Were Disclosed - archiveofourown.org/works/72309266 #jayvik

saw a modern au thread on twitter that said viktor drives a blue suv. are you fucking kidding me. i am not a huge fan of modern aus but trust me when i say modern au viktor drives like a dark red 1994 ford fiesta and when jayce asks him why he doesn't buy a newer car he goes what why it still works

tearing my hair out with such ferocity that my skin splits open and my screaming skull bursts out like the fucking goosebumps mascot

hello #jayvik nation!! are you someone who only enjoys #bottomviktor content? do you like to yap?? if so, i am very curious about what makes you tick and have some questions!! i've never personally had a strong top/bottom preference on a ship and do not really understand it

i have done my civic duty 🫡

a bug!! #viktorarcane #jayvik

i know i keep complaining that people on twitter specifically aren't self-aware enough to tell the difference between accurate characterization and characterization that enables their kinks so with that in mind i want to be clear that i am *extremely* self-aware about this one. god damn

you know what you really gotta hand it to twt for normalizing announcing the dates for your fandom event before the interest check google form is even conceptualized

really feeling this today lmao

world's tiniest violin but i do feel like having bottom jayce events as the primary counter to the rampant "only viktor can bottom" nonsense leaves very little room for Vers Jayvik Enjoyers or dare i say even Side Jayvik Enjoyers

if one of these people met a vers gay man irl they'd react like one of those cops fake ODing because they touched the outside of a bag of fentanyl

the way twt fandom took a couple of insane gay scientists who do unethical necromancy and almost destroy the world for and because of each other and made the focus of their entire dynamic like, how many babies can one of them pop out is actually batshit crazy to me

!!!!!!

apropos of nothing another take i have is that people writing #jaycest or #vikcest (?) have this incredibly rare opportunity bc they are ENGINEERS to not do the standard backup name approach and instead use mathematical notation

the thing is maybe one day i will post the (short, it's not long enough to justify anywhere near the amount of time i've spent, you know, mostly just waiting for the right Writing Mood to strike) fic that i started writing in november and thereby intentionally interact w the fandom

[i should clarify that i am not actually mad at any of the people whose characterization choices i complain about on here i am sure many of them are lovely people i'm just venting pettily into the void because none of my friends are as deep in this fandom as me]

i have pinpointed the exact feeling these posts make me feel and it is the same exact feeling i get when i see one of those mobile game slop ads where there's always a girl who is pregnant and crying

"j*yvikling" is an accursed word

in my opinion viktor's accent is not diegetic and that's one of many reasons why the randomly speaking czech thing does not do it for me

NOW WE'RE JUST REPOSTING STRAIGHT SOFTCORE PORN(?) GIFS ON TWITTER AND CALLING THEM JAYVIK 😒

We gotta start putting Jayce and Viktor from the top shelf where these folks cant reach them my God that's crazy

Im starting to feel like the majority of jayvik twt project their yaoi fantasies onto jayvik because they haven't consumed any other sort of yaoi content and I'm like if This is the dynamic you want I can literally point you in the right direction

please if anyone wants to make a private group chat for discussing bad jayvik takes i am so in every day i have a new least favorite tweet

literally half the fandom

for real why are people like this what behavior from literally any iteration of this character in any canon makes you go yes this man was born to be barefoot and pregnant over and over again that's his top priority in life and the most important thing he wants from jayce

i just think all of these post-canon tradwife #jayvik fantasies are deeply tragic in a way that the people posting about them don't really comprehend

i get where this is coming from but my hot take is that #jayvik / #vikjayce fusion has more juice than either individually and i don't want people to be discouraged from exploring that 😭 i love all the post-s1 fic that tried to imagine the arcane characters following the path of league lore
