I've seen a few takes about how Jayce has been possessed by the Arcane, hence the whiplash of his vicious actions, and how seemingly unhesitating he was in killing Salo and Viktor.
But I think Jayce is still himself, main factor being the eyes:
Jayce's eyes are still the same golden hue, unlike Viktor's and all his followers, which have taken on the iridescent tone of the Arcane. I think Jayce has certainly been touched by the Arcane, and taken on some side-effects from it (one of which being a healthy dose of PTSD), but I don't think he's necessarily been corrupted by it.
One effect we do see is Jayce "glitching" into multiples-- could there be some multiverse situation where Jayce has lived multiple failed iterations, and seen what the Arcane can do and the destruction it lays waste to?
Before Jayce kills Salo, he seems resigned that he has to do so. I don't think this is the face of a man whose actions are being corrupted, but of someone who has seen things, and knows what has to be done.
I also don’t think it’s unintentional that Jayce shot Viktor right through his Hexcore heart.
It's not a coincidence that his visions are constantly interspersed with fractaled flashes of anomalous Arcane beings when he encounters Viktor's healed followers. We see this with Salo, and as he makes his way through Viktor's village.
And when he promises “I won’t fail, I swear it”, who was he speaking to? I think this Jayce has lived multiple iterations of the same situation and knows something we don't, something he learned when he was stuck in the Hexcore Anomaly.
TL;DR: This is a Jayce Talis defence blog, and he is here to DEFEND OUR TOMORROWS I will not take any Jayce slander in this house

The truth of combat.
i'm still thinking about how after sevika questioned why jinx repaired her arm, jinx replied with "it was something i could fix", like that line was kind of glossed over but honestly i think it really speaks of jinx's character, especially given how earlier in the episode, she says how she only sees herself as a curse for everyone that gets close to her, and even for the whole society. even though she never really got on with sevika, she saw that she needed her arm repaired, the arm that sevika lost because of jinx, and thought that even though she has ruined everything, she could fix at least this one thing.
you’re beautiful 💕💕
a few days ago I woke up in the middle of night and wrote a series of haikus about jayvik
Based on the thought that viktor probably gets used to the feeling of Jayce hands wether it’s for comfort, joy, support etc to the point he basically waiting and yearning for the next time it happens again Here is the text again in the proper format:
I am drawn to you your intelligence, your care are clouding my mind
The warmth of your hand for a moment I forget it is you and I I grow used to it the way you let it linger so cold when you leave longing to feel it again, waiting, desperate when will it return? Oh just one more time My mind, my body, pleading rest your hands on me
just realised that jinx was the product of all three of them. she was raised by felicia, then vander, then silco. sounds like felicia, leads like vander, fights like silco. has her smile, his heart and his wits. has her braid and his scruff and his bangs. she's the best of them. i cant get over it
HE NEVER TOOK HIS EYES OFF JAYCE IM SICK IM ILL I AM PLAGUED

“Didn’t you try to kill him?”
“The greatest thing we can do in life…”
“…is find the power to forgive.”
