I Am So Conflicted About The Drama In The Arcane Fandom Regarding Meljayvik Because It's All Just So

I am so conflicted about the drama in the arcane fandom regarding Meljayvik because it's all just so messy.

For one, not everyone likes every ship and that is okay. You don't have to like Meljayce or Jayvik, it's okay to only like one of the two or none at all.

But then there is the disposable black gf trope that makes this whole thing tricky. I hate this trope so damn much, it isn't fair. At all.

But then also Mel is SO MUCH more than Jayces lover in the story, like her romantic relationship with Jayce was a tiny part of her character and their relationship with each other as well. So I don't like the idea of reducing her to just that. Mel's arc this season was all about her other qualities, her intelligence, her power and her relationship to her mother, not about her love for Jayce or whatever.

I absolutely love Mel as a character. She went from someone who I thought would be a cunning villain, to this caring and intelligent leader, who will do whatever she thinks is best for her people.

Yet people always reduce her to "the girl that gets in the way of the Yaoi" or "Jayce’s love interest", like no come on?! She never got in the way of anything and she isn't just Jayce’s girlfriend. She doesn't lose her purpose if people don't like her together with Jayce, because that wasn't even what her arc was about! Free my girl!

₊˚⊹♡ Silly Fyodor Facts!

❥ he's very indulgent when it comes to entertaining, for example, Nikolai; playing along when there's a game, and even playfully outsmarting Nikolai -> joking around while remaining a neutral expression

❥ he hacked the sushi restaurant's order system for his order to arrive faster..

❥ he owns a book named "Frequently Used Japanese"

❥ he has the tendency to silently stare.. [for example at poe, who got anxious in response]

❥ occasionally, he takes things very literally and responds accoddingly

[poe: if i were to breathe this air akin to broth boiling at the bottom of a hellish cauldron, i might get poisoned.

fyodor: to me it seems like there is plenty of room to breathe.

//

nikolai: w- wait, what? you're really giving me something? is this some sort of illusion?

fyodor: no, it is not.]

❥ he prays every night before going to sleep

❥ he's fond of long hair on others and likes touching and braiding it, and tying it up

❥ he likes pretty people

❥ he's lonely and is aware that there's no one who supports him, to the point of saying "I am always alone. That is fine by me. Has been, and always will be."

❥ he would gift you a country for valentines day!

❥ he's anemic and describes himself as unhealthy

❥ he plays the cello and the erhu

❥ he claims he hardly feels any appetite [though he seems to like indulging in different kinds of food nonetheless; this might be him forgetting to eat on occasion rather than not liking eating?]

❥ he likes to have jam with his tea

❥ when asked to compare himself to a colour, he said "the white of the snow of my hometown"

❥ his biggest wish [and new year's wish!] is peace for humanity and blessings for the children

❥ he enjoys a dark and gloomy atmosphere and the nighttime scenery

❥ he, at times, braids strands of his hair, or puts it into a small bun or ponytail

❥ occasionally, he drinks red wine

❥ sometimes, he has a bit of a go-with-the-flow attitude; “Well, if Shibusawa-kun is happy, then I'm happy. I'm his friend, after all.”

❥ when he got the opportunity to, he wanted to try on a kimono; he's interested in different cultures
