VIK VIK VIK
putting all of this under the cut because i am incapable of being blunt and have to write a 500 page essay about him. i'm normal <3
this man scrambles my brain so effortlessly well that most times i sound unintelligent while talking about him but i'm going to try to make this as legible as possible because he deserves all of my dedication. FIRSTLY, i'd like to start out with his appearance just to get it out of the way. i won't spew some nuanced cliché like "he's the most gorgeous man to ever exist" because while true, i can't stop there, and as a poet i am obligated to describe him in far more detail. viktor has this asymmetrical beauty that just sucks the air from my lungs, and it's one of the reasons i applaud the animators, because they did such a good job at highlighting features (on both the men and the women) that aren't stereotypically appealing or common for their gender. viktor is all sharp angles, but it doesn't stop him from looking or acting soft and compassionate, which i'll touch on later.
everything from top to bottom has been so carefully thought out. the slight bump on his nose, the mole under his right eye and by his lips, his hair?? it was so tamed and clean when we first saw him in ep2, but overtime it becomes clear he pays less attention to fixing it and lets it grow out. and if that one frame of him in the lab wasn't enough, then we can go by his appearance throughout acts 2-3 to know that he twirls his hair often when concentrating, as it looks curly in comparison to finely cut/styled look from the beginning (this could also just be because he falls asleep in the lab most days and when awakened, goes straight back to work without realizing his hair has been messed up, but still).
another thing is how he emphasizes with his hands when he's talking, as if his emotions are on the verge of spilling out because of how long he might have had to bottle them up or let them lie stagnant, as he had no one to talk to them about. i could talk about micro-expressions but i might just make a separate post for that or message you abt them,,for NOW though, i'll mention his eyes, because they're very special to me for two reasons. 1: i can never quite decide what color they are. most people speculate that they're brown and only look amber because of the lighting, but i've always thought that they looked like molten gold or honey when the sun hits them just right. and 2: they hold so much emotion, despite having changed so much over the years.
he's tired. too many of my nights have been plagued by the image of him hunched over his desk, blueprints, prototypes and untouched plates of food and glasses of water strewn around him as he digs himself further and further into the grave that has disguised itself as progress toward a better future. he neglects his health in favor of buying more time that he can't afford, staving off the inevitable that he continues to ignore because his work is all he has left. jayce is coming to the lab less and less because of his duties as a councilor, and no one besides sky is there to remind him "there's still tomorrow". i keep thinking of him tinkering away with their latest machine and asking jayce to hand him a tool, just for his voice to echo through the empty space, where the only reply is one he's been dreading to acknowledge: you're on you're own now. he's isn't here.
and of course, viktor will never ask for help. he doesn't need it, seeing as he'd made it thus far without someone else, but jayce is his friend—quite possibly his only friend—and he's gotten used to his company. things can't go back to the way they were, when it was just the two of them basking, floating in the very essence that sparked their teamwork. viktor forgets he even exists while he's working, so the only time he knows that time has passed is when he can no longer see what he's working on, save for the bits and pieces highlighted by the moon’s glow.
now, i can't explain the next topic as well as this person did, but i'm both surprised and delighted that they went as far as analyzing how viktor's outfit design connects to his personality. i never really paid attention to this until reading their take on it, and now i can't see anything else because not only does it make perfect sense, but it also links in with other characters, so it's very likely that the arcane developers thought of this as well.
i love that no matter how far he's come and the accomplishments he's achieved, viktor never forgets his roots, nor is he ashamed to show them, even if it's subtle. if his first real interaction with jayce is anything to go by, he isn't one to shy away from his history, so he's prepared to let people know that he's from zaun and that he's good enough to stand among the prestigious innovators of piltover. he’s worked relentlessly to prove himself and knows very well that he’s intelligent enough for this line of work, but he still doubts his capability and pushes himself to do better when he’s already shed blood for his goal. he forgets that he's only human, which ties into his machine herald lore (i.e. "inferior constructs", augmenting himself as not to be held back by his ailment or disability)
WHICH SPEAKING OF!! as an abled person i cannot relate to his experiences, but from what i've read from others who can, arcane also did a very good job at linking viktor's disability to his dream for zaun and its inhabitants to be cured, not just of the problems caused by piltover's negligence but by afflictions that occurred naturally and still couldn't be helped due to the poor state of the undercity's healthcare (or lack thereof). i know i have some other saved posts about this part of viktor's character specifically, but i found this one in particular today and i just. they're so right?? i keep thinking i have viktor all figured out and that i've seen every post to ever analyze him, and then another one materializes from thin air and sucker punches me right in the gut.
ALSO looking back to what i said about his machine herald lore, i'm remembering how lots of people sort of play him out as a villain based from LoL lore, which is just. not it at all. i mean yeah i get it he has a deep, sort of menacing voice and laser and keeps talking about "glorious evolution", but viktor forces anyone to get augmentations. he's stationed in emberflit alley and offers his skill to those who want it, giving them every chance to back out. obviously for a lot of other people (me included), they say that he's nearing his villain arc just for the jokes (let's face it, if he turned into a villain we'd all be behind him every step of the way because he deserves to be a little maniacal as a treat) but is he evil? no. he's still the same guy who broke into heimerdinger's lab to help jayce achieve his hextech dream and nearly killed himself trying to help his people. LoL and arcane lore tend to clash in some cases but they still co-exist so 🤷🏻♂️
also have you SEEN machine herald viktor???
i need to be locked up immediately.......put in a straightjacket and sedated.
obviously i can and will elaborate more on viktor if you ask, but the last two topics on my mind rn are better said by the person who posted about them, and AGAIN i have to applaud the effort that went into deciphering the possible meanings/outcomes of these either overlooked or under analyzed moments in arcane: the steel oasis theory and viktor's exile. AND THAT'S JUST WITH WHAT WE'VE BEEN PROVIDED FROM THE SHOW ALREADY SO LIKE.....this is a warning for all my moots to mute me/stop notifications for me when season 2 drops cause if you think i talk a lot about viktor now, you haven't even seen the brunt of it
