Okay But Imagine Viktor Getting A Chance To Show His Undercity Roots

this poor poor man

The art is gorgeous tho 💕

I need someone to draw this:

Odysseus, covered in blood, ragged and looks like death warmed over: *wearing a sash that says “most valid crashout” across it with Hermes/Athena bestowing a pageant crown upon him*

Optional skewered Poseidon in the background

ohoho? Intersection of hyperfixations? Don’t mind if I do

Arcane x Witcher crossover

Jayce, heir to a struggling noble family, travels to a remote village to find out why the tribute hasn’t arrived. He’s sure the villagers’ stories about a monster are just lies to trick him. Viktor, a former witcher now living as a cripple, doesn't want to be involved but warns him of the real danger. Unfortunately, Jayce is certain he knows better.

So, who’s the hero refusing the Call? (Viktor. It's Viktor, spoiler)

Vi, Jayce’s bodyguard and friend. My friend asked me not to hurt her in this AU but it's important for the plot T_T (I bet Arcane's writer might have said the same thing)

Remember what they took from us

kinder than man, athea davis

Everything between Jayce and Viktor can really be traced back to their childhood inciting incidents and it’s killing me.

Jayce: a miracle saves him and his mom, forever imprinting him with the certainty that miracles do exist, they can be controlled, he can save his loved ones no matter how awful things get, if he can just be smart and bold and quick enough.

Viktor: he saw the horror of what Singed had done—of forcing a creature to live against its will, of the degradation and terror of being fundamentally changed. For a while he thought he understood Singed, when he decided that he was willing to throw away all his principles to survive his own body. But he didn’t, really. He didn’t understand. There was still a line he would not cross. He wanted to die human.

It’s fitting, then, and unspeakably tragic, that Jayce is the one who played Singed’s role in the end. Because you can’t ask Jayce to let a loved one go, when he knows there’s a miracle that can save him, the solution is right there, it will work if you will just let him try—and so he forces a change onto Viktor against his will. He traps him into the Arcane, takes apart and reassembles his body, strips him of his selfhood and humanity. All so that Viktor will live. Singed wasn’t talking about the desperation not to die—he was talking about the desperation not to lose someone you love.

And so Viktor is…changed. He lives, whether he wants to or not.

And so Jayce loses him anyway.

thinking abt characters in a ‘beating them up is not enough i need the whole world to be against them” way. in an “i need their only purpose to be impossible and fucking insane with the circumstances they are given but i want them to keep trying even though they are the bug the universe tries to squash under its heel” way even
