Viktor has some kind of mind-reading power, right? That's how he knows random stuff, like that Jinx's old name was Powder.
And Jayce was sent back to our main dimension BY Viktor to persuade Viktor not to do any glorious evolution shit because it doesn't work (because it starts an apocalypse for some reason).
So instead of immediately blasting Viktor, why didn't he just... Let Viktor read his mind so he could understand the consequences of his actions? If I'm not mistaken, didn't he end up doing that in the end anyway?
It's not like he doesn't know it's an ability Viktor has. The other Viktor would have told him. So...???
Not to mention Shimmer is clearly addictive. You know what would happen if the supply for a drug like that suddenly and rapidly dwindled?
Addicts would die of withdrawal.
Those who didn't die would have to spend their life savings getting a fix from the few people who might manage to manufacture Shimmer for themselves or have some left over, who I'm gonna call Shimmer Scalpers. People would kill and rob other people who had Shimmer. Conmen would make fake 'shimmer' to sell to desperate people, then leave them to die and run with all the money.
Eventually, one of the chembarons would probably find out a way to mass produce it and then take control of the lanes, and chances are they might even be worse than Silco, because they might not even care about any cause except their own profit. It takes a privileged, immature mindset to think that removing Shimmer will just make all its problems go away.
Hindsight is 20/20, but I don't think you needed to be psychic to guess that destroying ALL the shimmer supply was a bad idea.
In Act Three it took three whole doctors to save Vi's life after she gets slashed by a Noxian blade across the chest. Yet in s1 it took a single drop of shimmer to save Vi from the deep stab in the gut Sevika gave her without any other form of medical intervention.
There's just a really gross sense of irony that Caitlyn and Piltover at large took away Zaun's main source of medical care (as controversial as it may be), and then put it's people through a meat grinder battle while withholding such care.
It doesn't help that the meat grinder battle was useless ploy for Jayce to get close to Viktor and so a lot of people, specifically Zaunites, died for nothing.
My character Cupid. He's not as friendly as he seems...
Arcane AU where everything is mostly the same but at some point after the academy and before the events of the show Jayvik got married for the tax benefits and so Viktor could have a last name for practical reasons and basically it's a fake dating AU until someone else points out that neither of them seem even remotely bothered that this will impact their future romantic prospects with anyone outside their marriage
stop making stupid as fuck posts where viktor uses his cane to beat people up. it actually drives me insane. viktor is one of the most nonviolent poeple in arcane. he is ideologically against it. a major part of his arc is that he does not want his inventions, which he made to aid people, to be used for violence. and you're having him use his disability aid for violence. literally think about this for more than five seconds.
Thanks for the fanart!
i'm on a lot of nyquil right now
god i know im just drawing the same scene literally everyone else is in my basic af style but i wanted to put together a print of the boys because i am unwell :') so here's one more meager addition to the pile. godspeed jayvik nation.
My hot take is that Viktor is not ace, or more specifically, that he was never written to be. You can't write a character as asexual if you don't even know what the word means. That would be like serving me a latte with oat milk instead of soy and saying it IS soy because all of them are just Alternative Milks to you. You got the thing confused with another thing because you don't actually know anything about either of them and as such, no, I do not believe either of them informed your writing process at all.
