Noticing a very bad trend of ableist takes on Viktor, especially on twitter.
How about we…don’t do that.

pondering my hexcore
nobody’s gonna talk abt Fortiche’s being sooo good in facial expressions? cause this is a masterpiece
and the change happened in seconds, let me remind you
Viktor: Jayce, I’m transgender.
Jayce, heartbroken: You’re moving to another science department?
Viktor: No, that’s a transfer, I’m-
Jayce, sobbing: BUT WE’RE PARTNERS!
Cowboy au
Jayce as a vaquero/cowboy and Viktor is an elixir maker. Someone’s got to take care of that man!
so I keep thinking
about how viktor, at nine or ten years old, was traumatized by his mentor because of his mentors obsession with stopping bodily death. about how viktor, twenty years later, realizes how dire of a situation he’s in and suddenly understands that obsession due to his own circumstances. about how he thinks jayce, his best friend and partner in his life’s work, will understand him trying to save himself.
about how he never tells jayce what he’s going to do because of jayces warped view of undercity residents and how that tears an already growing rift between them. about how he understands singed but ultimately is nothing like singed because when sky gets vaporized, viktor is torn apart and heartbroken. a life was taken in his risk taking. singed would have viewed that as a necessary sacrifice for science, the way he viewed rio as a project and not a living creature.
about how viktor has to come to terms with his own human error in such a gruesome and terrible way, and how revealing that is about his ethos as a character.
I think a lot of people start to conflate viktors morale and personhood with that of singed as he goes down a path that is still destroying him even if it prolongs his life. and I can’t wrap my head around that because he is nothing like singed. is he desperate? yes. but the key difference between them is that viktor understands the value of a life.
jayce didn’t understand. but I don’t think singed did either. even in trying to save his own life, viktor remained selfless, because his motivation for staying alive was to have a lasting positive imprint on the world. even as the machine herald, everything he does is pure in a strange and sort of messed up sense. he wants to forward humanity so that it doesn’t suffer by its own hand.
anyway, his motivations as a scientist and singeds are wildly different in this essay—
anyways i watched arcane
