I dunno why, but no earworm can survive this song. (And it, in and of itself, never becomes an earworm for me). Seriously - humming the chorus once or twice kills every earworm ever.

Hey, thanks for sharing that song. Never heard it before but I like it!

[tabaqui]

Yay!
Rainbow is pretty awesome, as is everything else Dio and Blackmoore were involved in. :D

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think I've heard that song before but it's pretty good!

My ultimate earworm is Seven Nation Army. If I'm really desperate to get rid of a song that's stuck in my head, I'll just get myself started on Seven Nation Army. The drawback is that I will then have Seven Nation Army stuck in my head.

Aaaand there is goes. I didn't even listen to it for this comment, but it's in there now. Dun duh duh dun-dun dun duuuuuh duuuuuh.

[tabaqui]

Heeee!
Quick, back to Rainbow!!

I'm glad you liked it. :D

[greghousesgf]

the Addams Family song does it for me.

I have no idea who this guy is or what is his deal, but is it okay for me to say that he looks hot?

[(Anonymous)]

Sure, you're not wrong.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh he IS very hot. And is a scientist. And sometimes works shirtless at a forge. HOT.

this show is still on my 'to watch' list but I already know I'm going to write SO MUCH PORN of this guy just because Viktor is everything I've ever wanted in a character so I hope Jayce's not annoying or anything in the end.

[(Anonymous)]

A lot of people think he is annoying and a bad person and that both Viktor and his (Jayce's) canon love interest deserve better. But I think they would love him and look more deeply at his flaws if he were the same character but either unconventionally attractive or ambiguously POC instead of a conventionally attractive white guy.

[(Anonymous)]

Uh... not sure which show you were watching but he absolutely is ambiguously POC in that. Not sure about the game but he is not obviously white in the show.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry are you seriously suggesting that the fact that he is a conventionally attractive white-looking dude makes it so people dislike him? Have you seen the slew of conventionally attractive cis-male white actors with the charisma of a teacup people drool over???? lmao

(also dude is a fucking idiot, I really hope his character will do better in season two, because as he is in season one to me he is an insufferable flag of a man who constantly changes his mind whenever the wind blows in a different direction)

[(Anonymous)]

I thought ayrt meant that people would be more critical of him if he wasn't a conventionally attractive white-looking dude?

[(Anonymous)]

That anon is saying literally the opposite of what you're saying here, nonny

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT here. Nope, I meant that they'd be more forgiving if he wasn't. I'm sure there are people in the fandom who would love to be more critical of the other characters, because everyone in that series, not just Jayce, is flawed due to some degree of stupidity or self-interest. But criticism of any other character is squashed because you can't criticize the character flaws of a lesbian, a black woman, a mentally ill girl, or a sick and disabled man without your motives being sus. Jayce is free for fans to unabashedly pour hate on because he's just about the only character who is privileged in every way.

[(Anonymous)]

Ah, alright. Running on very little sleep so brain just smooshed words together while reading. Thanks for the clarification.

[(Anonymous)]

Not the same anon and also I haven't really interacted with the Arcane fandom in any way so I have no clue if what you're saying is right, but personally what makes Jayce a profoundly irritating character aren't his flaws as a person (I don't dislike his arrogance nor his naivete when it comes to the reality of war, as an example) but the fact that he seems to have no spine at all? literally all he does he does because someone whispered in his ear and like... Sure, that can also be a character flaw, but he changes his mind on so many things, so many times, to me it stopped being a flaw and just became obnoxious and made me eye-roll hard whenever he was on screen.

Again idk if what you're saying about people in the fandom non wanting to criticize other characters because of their race/sexuality is true, but personally my main issue is that all the other characters act in a way that is congruous with their attitude/past and, yes, they are flawed, but they are flawed in a way that makes sense, and thus never threw me out of the plot the way Jayce did, multiple times. Like, the writing of Arcane is very much hinged on having characters who are complex, flawed and morally gray, but of all of them only Jayce was the one that to me felt less like his own person and more like a plot device on leg; that is what makes me dislike him, at the end of the day.

[(Anonymous)]

(Oooh.)
I'd say Jayce is just a tad bit annoying but not a bad person--he ends up making bad choices while having the best intentions but heh. Happens to a lot of people and a lot of characters. And he and Viktor do deserve SO MUCH PORN indeed.
