Underrated JayVik Moments/lines (8/∞)

It's 3am. My friend and I are taking an Uber back home from a party. On the way, I’m explaining my Skyrim fanfiction idea and my OC's backstory to them. The driver is a nice guy but he stays quiet for the duration of my story. I'm the first one to get off, my friend keeps going.

I get home and I see a text from them.

The Uber driver liked my fanfiction idea and asked them if he could read it somewhere.

8 and 13 with Brynjolf for your elder scrolls questions

What do they act like when they are sick?

Grumpy. As in “don’t touch me and leave me to die” sorta grumpy. He feels vulnerable when he’s sick and hates not being able to properly do his job. He especially hates getting ataxia. He almost blew his cover once trying to pickpocket someone in Whiterun. Sneezed on ‘em instead. He’ll never forgive himself for that, nor will he get that disgusted look they gave him out of his mind. Brynjolf will outright refuse to be babied by anyone while he’s sick, however he does fancy a nice bowl of hot horker stew when he’s feeling under the weather and would never reject it.

How would they react to being a Dark Brotherhood target?

Annoyed, frankly. Though not too surprised. He was a thief after all. Not the most popular guy out there. Assassins were not so different from thieves, though. And he’d no doubt try to sway the assassin’s attempt to murder him by trying to recruit him into a different sort of shady business that was much less messy. If worse came to worse, he was sure he could outrun them and good luck to them if they tried to enter the Ratway. 

I mean I just have to add a bunch of Astral Viktor to this because he's SO expressive

People: Viktor is not externalising his feelings, he's the master of microexpressions

Actually Viktor:

this is beautiful, thank you so much 😭 every new yohren art is precious but this is just-- 🥺🥺

Ren tells Yoh of his sin. What follows after?

Read right to left.

Why do right-wing memes make us look so cool. I support these gay anarchists and their dog backpack

game over.

>continue?

I see nothing wrong here

outstanding work everyone

Viktor was always afraid of becoming like Rio and Orianna, neither living nor dead, kept in glass by someone who would not let him die because he was loved too much. Jayce basically did just that to him.

How has this parallel never occur to me before? Viktor walking away was completely understandable before but this, this is just so sad...

Viktor being an apprentice for Singed longer than Arcane shows us really makes parts of his character deliciously more painful.

Viktor allows augmentations to his body, but never replaces anything despite the advanced prosthetics we see.

-> because Singed replaced Orianna’s arms and legs, and Viktor feared becoming her.

Viktor never uses Shimmer until he is absolutely desperate, though we see he could have access to it in Piltover a la Salo (or just by going to Singed earlier).

-> Viktor knows Shimmer was supposed to be a medicine because he’s the adopted son of the man who made it. He watches Shimmer, something he might have even helped with in its earliest stages as a teenager, become a drug that ravages Zaun.

-> The first person he “heals” is a Shimmer addict.

Viktor leaves after Jayce rescued him with the Hexcore.

-> Viktor was always afraid of becoming like Rio and Orianna, neither living nor dead, kept in glass by someone who would not let him die because he was loved too much. Jayce basically did just that to him.

Singed convinces Ambessa to let him talk to Viktor. He notices Viktor is fading and offers his creature up to heal him. He doesn’t actually do it until Viktor lets him.

Meanwhike, Viktor knows where one of the worst villains of the Undercity is. The reason Shimmer is flooding the Lanes. Viktor has a Councilor best friend and ties to the Enforcers who could root him out. Yet he never breathes a word about his location.

-> Because there is a twisted sort of love between them, a toxic relationship filled with acid, but at its core is a true affection of a father for a son.
