Okay So Turns Out Monty Is Rlly Fun To Draw Now For Me Now

it’s gonna be alright

Never going to stop talking about the harassment that those SolarMoon shippers did to artists like me who never said anything about the ship and just drawing canon celestial family because people in this fandom were quick to sweep it under the rug. Yes I'm salty as fuck that there were only a few people who acknowledged that we didn't deserve that harassment, while the rest blamed us for "being complacent to the hate" because we like to draw the canon family dynamic of the show. Are we not allowed to draw or write a fic about the canon family in the show anymore? Because it makes us perpetuate the hate for that ship when WE(the non shippers who never said a thing about the ship) weren't even involved in that hate train. NOT ALL WHO DOESN'T SHIP THAT SHIP HATES IT. But because of the harassment we received, we might as well actually grow to hate it.

For several years, Viktor’s leg caught my eye—specifically, I was searching for an official diagnosis and struggling to find something that fit him. After years of speculating, I believe I've found his condition's proper diagnosis and name.

Viktor has a rare and severe case of femoral anteversion in his right leg.

What exactly is femoral anteversion? It is a condition in which the femur rotates, causing the knees and feet to face inward rather than forward. This can impact one or both legs. This condition usually resolves on its own, but more severe cases require medical intervention such as leg braces, therapy, and surgery in more extreme instances—however, this condition is treatable.

This condition impacts children, typically the result of trauma, fetal development, or genetics. Viktor was likely born with this, which would propose that he’s either genetically predisposed to it or the result of a tough pregnancy.

This small scene is an excellent example. It’s only several seconds long, but here we can see that his leg is rotated inward, and he corrects it to face forward—which pains him as he visibly winces—all while Jayce speaks.

It’s noticeable when he’s a kid. You can see how his leg twists and faces inward and how his foot catches on the heel of his other foot, which causes him to trip. In episode 8, while he runs on the dock, he almost trips from this issue again before catching himself and sprinting. Viktor also has an in-toe gait; his step curves as he walks, while his other leg does not.

His leg brace, which we see in Act 2, serves one primary purpose: to force the leg to rotate and face the proper direction. However, at this stage, his condition has been left untreated for so long that it is progressing and showing a drastic impact on his entire body that the leg brace will not fix. It also makes mobility even more challenging for him, with difficulty bending and extending his leg.

This condition can throw the entire body out of whack if left untreated. It can cause pelvic issues, osteoarthritis, spinal decompensation, labral and chondral damage, hamstring-originated tendinopathy, and even weakening of the abdominal muscles, as well as a wide range of spinal problems. The feet, hips, and back are significant body parts that work together; if one is bad, the rest will suffer.

Viktor would require a femoral derotation osteotomy; however, given the severity of his condition and how other parts of his body are now significantly impacted--such as his pelvis and spine, we now have more complications on our hands and that's not even touching on his unnamed lung disease.

There's still so much I could discuss here, and perhaps later, after work; I have a handful of notes I've taken about this and how it all just ties together for Viktor, and honestly, it has been really fun to look at and analyze.

the first God who ever answers your prayers is a man who bares his neck for you.

he answers your plea for blood in a foolish show of unearned trust you find yourself unable to betray.

the taste burns on your tongue like sunlight should on your skin.

and yet for the first time in two hundred years, you are fed.

the first God who ever answers your prayers is a man willing to die of his devotion.

the curse in his chest, the promise of forgiveness, your teeth in his neck.

as you drink your fill, you wonder what will get him first.

the first God who ever answers your prayers is not yet a God at all.

but you are the first to pray to him.
