viktor x sleepy!reader hcs

[ vik lives in my mind rent-free and i would do anything for this white man ANYWAYS- ]

+whenever he’s working in the lab (basically 24/7), you come in and pass out on the couch, you’re actually the reason why there’s a couch there, it would be cruel of him to let you keep sleeping in uncomfortable chairs

+the sounds of his pencils scratching his notebooks and the sparks and clangs of his tinkering are like lullabies, he used to try to be as quiet as possible whenever you fell asleep in his lab but you insisted that the background noise was nice

+nah bc this man would be trying so hard to hammer nails or use blowtorches in slow motion as if that would make it quieter

+when you get closer in your relationship, you spend less time laying on the couch and more time on his lap ayOOOO

+he says you’re distracting him from his work but if you dare try to get off of him he will pull you back down at the speed of light (he’s so touch starved but you probably are too LMAO)

+leaves little kisses on your temples and absolutely adores your light snores, sometimes pauses whatever he’s doing just to admire how peaceful you look

+he appreciates when you stay awake to listen to him talk about his observations and discoveries and mindless rambling, you rarely understand what he’s talking about but you enjoy hearing him talk nonetheless

+he thinks it’s kind of perfect how low-maintenance you are, all he needs to do is let you relax in his lap and narrate his actions in that beautiful smooth czech accent of his in your ears and you’re happy AND he can still get his work done (work is his spouse, you’re the side hoe who gets free asmr)

+when he (an extremely rare occurrence) finally takes breaks, you pull him onto the couch and force him to take a nap with you, this man truly needs it- have you SEEN his eyes

+most of the time he’s the big spoon bc he’s most likely taller than you and it’s more comfortable- but also because it makes it easier for him to escape your grasp if he needs to get back to work even though it pains him to do so

+hold him sometimes tho, he needs it

+jayce will sometimes walk in to talk to viktor but immediately halts in his tracks if he sees you two sleeping peacefully, he’s grateful that his fellow hextech partner has someone like you to take care of him

“(work is his spouse, you’re the side hoe who gets free asmr)”

NO BC THAT’S WHAT I THOUGHT WHILE READING THE PENCIL PART

+I’M LISTENING ASMR RN

Okay I don’t know where else to say this or post this but I have TWO songs that I very specifically headcanon to be Vi’s and Jinx’s songs and I’m gonna scream about them.

First, we’ve got First Love/Late Spring by Mitski, and this is Vi’s POV on her relationship with Caitlyn. Please.

The black hole

Of the

Window

Where you sleep

The night breeze

Carries

Something sweet

A peach tree

Wild women don’t get the blues

But I find that

Lately I’ve been crying like a

Tall child

So please hurry leave me

I can’t breathe

Please don’t say you love me

胸がはち切れそうで (my heart is about to burst)

One word from you and I would

Jump off of this

Ledge I’m on

Baby

Tell me “don’t”

So I can

Crawl back in

And I was so young

When I behaved

Twenty five

Yet now I find

I’ve grown into

A tall child

And I don’t wanna go home yet

Let me walk to the top of the big night sky


All of it is perfectly Vi. The “Wild women don’t get the blues; but lately I’ve been crying like a; Tall child,” & “ I was so young; When I behaved; Twenty five; Yet now I find; I’ve grown into; A tall child,” lines hit perfectly because she’s stuck. She’s been the responsible adult her whole life, she’s taken care of Powder and the rest, she’s taken the fall for them, she’s been made to act mature but deep inside she never got the chance to grow into herself. She’s incredibly good at being a stone wall but the second her feelings are involved, her instinct is to push them away and run. Thus the “So please hurry leave me; I can’t breathe; Please don’t say you love me,” lines, directed at Caitlyn, make perfect sense. That’s where the whole oil and water analogy comes in. She’s trying her hardest to push her away because the emotions are too much for her to deal with.


Now onto Jinx’s song - Black Out Days by Phantogram.


Hide the sun

I will leave your face out of my mind

You should save your eyes

A thousand voices howling in my head

Speak in tongues

I don’t even recognize your face

Mirror on the wall

Tell me all the ways to stay away, away, away

And stay away, away, away

Dig a hole

Fireworks exploding in my hands

If I could paint the sky

Well all the stars would shine a bloody red

Stay away, away, away

And stay away, away, away

And stay away (I’m hearing voices all the time up in my mind)

(I’m hearing voices and they’re haunting my mind)

And stay away (I’m hearing voices all the time in my mind)

(I’m hearing voices and they’re haunting my mind)

Black out days

I don’t recognize you anymore


Do I really need to explain this one? It’s absolutely Jinx. From voices in her head, to not recognizing herself in the mirror/dealing with dual identities (between Jinx, who helps her deal with trauma through fully shutting it out being being cray cray, and Powder, who’s a soft, gentle child that really needs protection and love). And then uh… literally “Fireworks exploding in my hands,” which uh.. Jinx’s explosives. Which uh.. as a local Jinx x Ekko shipper, ahem-

And we know she’s good with fireworks, too. She can quite literally “paint the sky”.

arcane pet name hcs || pt 1

+includes: viktor, jayce, vi

viktor:

+ probably too scared to use pet names at first, they feel awkward coming out his mouth and he’s not used to it at all

+ his knowledge on affection is quite limited, limited to old books he may have read in his pastime, so he uses more old fashioned pet names: darling, dear, love, etc

+ the first time he said it was a complete accident, he was experimenting at his desk, goggles on and everything-

+ “darling, can you pass me the vial?”

+ he noticed you didn’t respond so he spun in his chair and lifted his goggles, staring blankly at you, “what?”

+ “you just called me darling”

+ “i suppose i did” my man has the slyest smirk as if he wasn’t shivering in his pantaloons too nervous to use pet names before this

+ tries not to use them too often, wants it to feel special even if in reality, he could say it 24/7 and you’d get butterflies every single time

jayce:

+ absolute menace when it comes to pet names, if viktor underuses them, jayce overuses them

+ he’s such a dudebro when it comes to this so he constantly uses baby and babe this is not debateable, it is a fact

+ rarely even says your actual name anymore, your new name is “babe”

+ pretty early in the relationship is when he starts saying it, unlike viktor, he’s had experience in this field and feels comfortable with most things already

+ “babe, we just made an amazing discovery-“

+ “baby, take a look at this!”

+“babe-“

+ takes it personally if you call him by his name instead of a pet name

+tries to say “babygirl/babyboy/baby” in a sexy way occasionally, it’s up to you if you like it or not LMFAO

vi:

+ god, i love women

+she uses pet names in a teasing way 90% of the time, not in a mean way but in a “you know you can’t resist me” typa way

+uses cupcake (of course), sweetheart, honey, hot stuff, etc- always has that overtly flirtatious tone and sly smirk on her face especially if you get flustered easily

+calls you pet names the moment you first meet, her charm instantly had you WHIPPED (i mean shii, me too)

+“hey sweetheart, mind helping me with this?”

+when she’s really trying to rile you up, she closes in behind you, her hands ghosting over your hips and her warm breath hitting the nape of your neck as she whispers in your ear-

+“lookin’ good, cupcake”

+likes when you hit her with that same energy, it turns into a competition on who can fluster who more

owning a cat with viktor hcs

[ 3rd consecutive post of viktor brainrot i swear i will do other characters and series’ ]

+i think everyone agrees that viktor is a cat guy

+idk why but i feel like he’d be like those dads who act like they hate the cat but end up being the one most attached to it

+you originally found the cat on the streets of piltover with no collar or visible owner, so after some time you decided to take it to your shared apartment with viktor

+trying to keep it a surprise, you hid the cat in your coat as you entered the apartment, viktor was reading a book in the living room and all was quiet and peaceful…. until a suspicious sound came from you

+“did you just meow?” viktor questioned in pure bewilderment, prompting you to open your coat, letting the cat leap out and onto viktor’s lap

+he didn’t even know how to react, he wasn’t upset or anything, just very confused as he made direct eye contact with this fluffy creature

+for the first few days of having the cat, he was very awkward with it, you’d have to grab his hand and guide him to pet it- it’s not that he didn’t like the cat, he just didn’t know how to effectively interact with it

+that awkward phase did not last long at all

+you’d come home to him cradling the cat by the window, showing it the great outdoors- or having very deep one-way conversations with it about his scientific research

+“what should we name this cutie?” you asked, waving around a feather on a stick as the cat played with it

+“oh i already named it, that’s kočka,” he replied nonchalantly and picked up the cat

+“you already named… that’s like naming a dog ‘dog’”

+“mm. precicely”

+they became almost inseperable, you barely got any time with viktor OR the cat

+one day kočka was no where to be seen in the apartment, surging with panic, you ran to the lab to tell viktor only to find him working with kočka pawing at his tools beside him on the desk

+after that, every day became a “bring your cat to work day” but only for him, of course

+he would probably train kočka to help him with his work in some way, only with the relatively safe tasks though, he wouldn’t dare put his beloved friend in danger

+if you’re crafty, you’d make a pair of goggles for the cat to match with viktor (very self-indulgent headcanon ik but wouldn’t that be so cute AUGH)

+if you ever broke up, he’s taking full custody of that cat no questions asked, visitation hours would be negotiable

**viktor’s league of legends lore spoilers below? kinda not really**

+after viktor goes through his complete glorious evolution and most of his humanity is nowhere to be seen, deep down, he still has a soft spot for sweet milk and kočka

+and you, of course, but kočka

+makes sweet milk for you and him to drink at your little dinner table, kočka obviously has it’s own chair beside him with a bowl of sweet milk

+probably tried to make the cat a cyborg too

medieval au with arcane characters

ft. jayce, viktor, silco, vander, vi, jinx, caitlyn, ekko, finn, grayson, sevika, local cuisine

prince!jaycewho is the prince of a small, run-down country that has long since left its glory days behind, coming to your kingdom to ask for your hand in marriage to save his country from ruin. you, being the sole heir to the throne, have no shortage of suitors, jayce being one of many, a speck of sand in the desert. but he gets his chance like everyone else, and in the one day he gets to spend with you, he somehow manages to leave an impression. he starts off as standoffish. he isn’t all fake pleasantries like his peers, but that doesn’t mean he’s any less plastic. he has to win you over, the fate of his entire kingdom depends on it. yet his personality can’t help but shine through as he subtly challenges you when conversing, weighing your responses, testing you— a member of the royal family, to see if you’re worthyof your title. and suddenly his face is more interesting than the rose bushes of the colossal royal gardens, and a competitive spark has been light. what starts off as a contest develops into something more. his eyes burn with determination to get the biggest catch and place first just to show off for you. his hands get clammy before your daily walks, fixing his hair repeatedly before stepping into your line of sight. his breath lodges in his throat when he lays his eyes on you during the grand ball, and Viktor has to nudge him to remind him he has yet to give you the greeting you’re looking for. selfish as it may sound, suddenly it’s not his kingdom’s future he is trying so hard for, but his own.
