The Arcane community continues to show lasting enthusiasm even after the release of Season 2. Among its many creative groups, fans who focus on the connection between Jayce Talis and Viktor have built a dedicated space to celebrate their dynamic.
This enthusiasm led to the creation of Jayvik Gothic & Horror Week, an event developed by fans to explore the pair through darker and gothic themes. It stands as an example of how the fandom remains active, reshaping its favorite characters through collaborative storytelling and artistry.
Arcane fans organize Jayvik Gothic and Horror Week
From December 5 to 14, the Arcane fandom gathers online for Jayvik Gothic and Horror Week, a creative event centered on the relationship between Jayce Talis and Viktor. The hosts designed it for fans who appreciate darker genres and psychological storytelling. Participants explore gothic and horror interpretations through a mix of artistic formats.
Prompts Overview
| Theme Type | Examples |

Fans can submit art, fiction, podfics, cosplay, edits, or roleplay pieces responding to each prompt. The event welcomes all creators without registration requirements, but contributors must follow content guidelines since it is intended for adult audiences. Organizers emphasize proper tagging for safety and clarity, maintaining a respectful environment for participants exploring unsettling ideas within the Jayvik pairing’s gothic universe.
Jayvik in the Arcane fandom
Fans of Arcane continue to show lasting enthusiasm for the Jayce and Viktor pairing. Earlier in the year, creators and streamers bbno$ and Will Neff collaborated on a Jayvik-themed cosplay, portraying Viktor and Jayce. The project attracted significant attention across social media due to its creative execution and lighthearted tone.
The cosplay idea began after bbno$ watched Arcane and proposed recreating the duo’s dynamic. He worked with Jessica Nigri and Stella Chuu to design and complete the costumes, ensuring accurate detail and presentation. The effort demonstrated how community figures contribute to Arcane’s ongoing fan culture.
| Participant | Role | Contribution |
|---|---|---|
| bbno$ | Viktor | Concept creator, fundraiser |
| Will Neff | Jayce | Cosplayer, collaborator |
| Jessica Nigri & Stella Chuu | — | Costume and production support |
Proceeds from the event benefited wildfire relief efforts in Los Angeles, reinforcing a mix of fan creativity and charitable purpose.
