maybe i'm off base but between the overloading of vii content and using estinien and alphinaud so much in the marketing, it does feel like they're pandering to a crowd that wants to feel ''''safe'''' after DT was stupidly deemed too 'woke' or whatever

so the artist of jayce's ovn said the art is open to interpretation but liked posts from some meljays (i'm sure she probably like posts from EVERYONE) but some jvs taking this as a slight and are harassing her. they're also harassing the guy who made the video she quote tweeted.

if you're wondering how things are going on the bird site post the jayce card drop, someone posted an 'analysis' of it using ai summaries and said mel's arc is primarily driven by hatred lmao

unfortunately i DO love parallels and motifs so can't help but notice they included the detail of mel having her hand on jayce's chest....which typically only happened during important intimate moments between them or when mel is providing jayce with comfort.

yeah she specifically replied to a video calling them boring and was agreeing - a lot of professional black authors/writers thankfully called it out as a fucked up/unprofessional + she was very adamant that the CV sex scene be 'better' than the meljay one when they didn't need to be compared at all

remade my tifa alt - she was a cat before for writing purposes but decided to change it since i don't do that anymore. went for short hair because of the trend (plus on console so can't mod her hair). #ffxiv

anyway, if you got this far, thanks for reading. p.s. this moment answers the question regarding who ran to the other first when the bomb hit the council. toodles.

"okay, but answer the question: did meljay break up?" i don't know. if they did, they're some 40+ year old losers yearning in league. embarrassing i yell ya! (if you got this far, thanks for reading)

looking back, mel and jayce don't have much time to naturally 'grow apart' within the narrative if that's meant to be the takeaway. if anything, the parallels, the callbacks to their prior (romantic) scenes, and showing them working together conflicts with that.

i don't think there's a right or wrong answer here. i do think it's ultimately part of his apology - for believing for a second that the same woman he felt like nothing was impossible with could ever be controlled by the arcane or anything else.
131
chas. @melnerys.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
even still, the scene ends on a somewhat positive, although bittersweet, note for them. despite all the horrors they've both endured, there's one constant: how much jayce talis believes in mel medarda.
171
chas. @melnerys.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
this moment is really the only time mel actually vocalizes her pain regarding what happened to her. it's in character for her to confide in jayce about this - the same person she confided in before about her exile.
181
chas. @melnerys.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
now to jayce and mel's final scene. one of the reasons i find myself a bit baffled at takes that latch onto jayce's words in the council as law is because jayce *himself* doesn't treat what he himself says that way. he apologizes and acknowledges that mel is hurting too.
160
chas. @melnerys.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
hmm. i wonder why they wrote this.

mel. whatever happens, if you're me, i'm with you.
150
chas. @melnerys.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
these were choices made by the writers. it is a choice to show them still finding a way to be a team - in-sync and fighting to protect each other - despite all that has happened to them prior. notice that jayce doesn't look away from mel until *she* pulls away from his gaze.
150
chas. @melnerys.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
and when mel needs him, jayce rushes to protect her - even if its to his own detriment (pain in his leg). a scene that starts with them arguing ends with them holding onto each after facing danger in the council room. it's a parallel to the opening of act one.
151
chas. @melnerys.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
fear, however, can also be a motivator. mel and jayce's lives are on the line during this fight and we see them both lock in to protect each other despite jayce being weary of mel being a mage and mel being scared of her own powers. that same magic saves jayce's life - again.
161
chas. @melnerys.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
mel and jayce end up having to fight off viktor's puppet (and are losing, they are truly #loser4loser). having jayce specifically gaze at *mel* during the 'fear cloud's your judgement' line also reinforces everything said before. fear IS clouding his judgement.
180
chas. @melnerys.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
is it not....odd to place yourself in front of the woman you were just arguing with if you see her as a threat and dangerous? if you hate and resent her? unless.....you don't. narrator voice: he does not hate her.

150
chas. @melnerys.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
back to the council room: mel and jayce's argument is interrupted and despite everything said, we have this brief moment before jayce begins to talk with viktor. jayce steps in front of mel, glancing back to her before focusing his attention on the puppet in front of them.
140
chas. @melnerys.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
we see this when mel confides in jayce about her family and how the medardas only 'take from the world'. mel believed in jayce's vision and many of her actions in season one that are framed as manipulative, often are done for jayce's benefit more than her own.
161
chas. @melnerys.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
despite everything, mel doesn't regret taking a chance on jayce & viktor that night. she was *begged* to by the way, as it seems people forget. mel was looking for something to 'put piltover on the map', that's true but jayce also inspires mel to give back unlike a medarda - these are her own words
171
chas. @melnerys.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
especially not when the driving force behind what he's saying is fear. he's afraid of mel not being the mel he fell in love with - that she's not in control. this is reinforced by the arcane savior jayce voicelines (which the co-creators of the show were involved in).

mel. show me who you've become show me you're the one in control!

chas. @melnerys.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
ultimately, while i think we're supposed to empathize with jayce, i do not think you're meant to *agree* with him here. this is due to jayce's actions prior to this and mel's own response.
130
chas. @melnerys.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
so we have a traumatized jayce that's distrustful of magic now distrustful of mel. on the other side is mel, traumatized herself - we see it in how she communicates in this. mel, normally calm and self-assured is stuttering and fumbling with her hands while defending herself.

chas. @melnerys.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
remember that this scene initially starts off with jayce grabbing his hammer after it reacts to a presence - you're meant to think it's reacting to the approaching figure (mel) and jayce during this exchange probably thinks it was. it's really reacting to viktor's puppet hiding in the room.
