Drops Them In A Gothic Horror Au

oh im gonna kill myself

Jayce: omg dude we were so drunk last night! (had 1 mimosa)

Viktor: yeah (was sober)

The only scenes we got wherein Viktor actually expressed any emotions were the scenes in the cosmos. On the ground, within his Herald Era, he always has the same expression: calm, tired eyes, eyebrows slightly furrowed, mouth thinned.

Meanwhile, in the cosmos, we see him actually reacting to the things he comes into contact with: Vanders soul, Jayce's actions, etc. Look at him: his wide-eyed wonder, his almost childlike, innocent curiosity, his search for answers.

THAT is Viktor. This is him as we knew him in s1 act I, where he and Jayce figured out hextech. Where they levitated. Where they explored and discovered. And his eyes! Theyre gold! Those are Viktors eyes!

Maybe, without his deteriorating physical body to hold him back, Viktor can finally focus on that which he always loves: science.

"Scientists seek discoveries", and he still does!

Yes, his mind-body-soul-heart connection was, well lets say muddled at best (which does bring up my fav philosophical question of "where does the [sense of] self end?", but that aside), but he was still There, at least in some form.

Arcane is not a subtle show and I am not complaining in the slightest.

Silco really pulled a jinx and accidently killed one of his found family members, either with a bomb or by stoking the enforces rage whilst trying to help them. And then Vander took out his rage on Silco and tried to kill him (something Vander clearly regretted, but dam man) like it's no wonder Silco imprinted on Jinx so hard, they practically have the exact same backstory.

It could also explain why he hates Vi so much, as aside from her ruining his plans she's like the second coming of Vander to him. So, he ended pushing all of his unresolved hatred to Vander onto her, it actually explains why he went so feral during the dinner party.

Silco and Jinx even have the same hair like this is not funny, at this point I wouldn't even be surprised if Silco also used to make bombs and gadgets in the past.

So if I were to take away from this moment something deeper than “man Sevika's a freak”, I'd point out that we've seen the same tactic not long before.

What does this say about Caitlyn? She's fighting dirty. She's fighting like a cornered rat. She's fighting like a Zaunite.

And first of all there's hypocrisy. Caitlyn's been calling these people animals and monsters and whatnot but when placed in an identical situation she responds identically. Case in point: getting so mad at Jinx for terrorizing people out of grief that she goes ahead and starts to terrorize people out of grief. Sevika's expression afterwards is mostly “joke's on you I'm into that” but there's some surprise there too — you wouldn't expect that move from a Piltie.

Then there's desperation. Because she needs revenge; she needs it or she'll never ever forgive herself for what happened. So she'll throw away her morals and her dignity and just do whatever it takes to achieve the goal, whether it means chomping on someone like a feral raccoon or becoming a military dictator… which puts her in the same mindset as Zaunites, all of whom are desperate to survive and a lot of whom could never afford morals and dignity in the first place.
