"the look of love" - sangihun animation

HELLOO SANGIHUN NATION

posted this on tiktok a week ago and remembered tumblr existed, so im posting it here now!!

my tt account is @sx7daysaweek :3

a vision dawned upon me in a dream...

test tube would be viktor but specifically only season 1 viktor

What actually happened to Jayce and Viktor in the end? And why didn’t Ekko’s Z-drive destroy everything within its blast radius?

TL;DR: the only timeline that could have worked was the one where Viktor gives Jayce the Acceleration rune, where Ekko invents the Z-drive, and where Jayce saves Viktor and gets his partner back.

Something we’ve seen pointed out is that the world rune that worked in this timeline was the Acceleration rune, which has the function of transportation through time and space. 

Ekko’s Z-drive was built by inverting Jayce’s Acceleration rune (this is important later).

We know from his experiments that the limit for reversing time is only 4 seconds. Any further back and it causes catastrophic harm to his surroundings. It’s implied that the further he overextends his Z-drive, the more disastrous the damage and radius of effect.

In the final battle against Viktor, we see Ekko overextend his Z-drive far beyond 4 seconds. Then, he yeets it at Viktor, whose mask is shattered from the impact.

We know that turning back time beyond 4 seconds causes catastrophic destruction of the surrounding areas: Jayce and Viktor, and perhaps countless others should have been caught up in the blast. But instead, we see something different:

Time stands still for a moment, courtesy of the boy who shattered time. 

Now things happen all in a manner of seconds: In the astral plane, we see Viktor comment on the anomaly that Ekko has created.

It’s something that Viktor as smart as he is, couldn’t have conceived— leave it to Ekko (and lest I forget, Heimerdinger and alt-Jinx) to show them all up.

This is debatable, but I firmly believe that Viktor with his awareness of all time and space, could have escaped or even survived the explosion.

It’s only Jayce, the only person who could show him what he showed him, that gets through to him in the end and convinces him to give up his Glorious Evolution.

"In all timelines, only you can show me this". Ekko is the catalyst but Jayce was the key.

Jayce returns the Acceleration rune to Viktor which kicks off a chain of events. The souls under Viktor’s control are freed from his grasp. Back in the real world, and back to the explosion, we see the following happening almost simultaneously: 

The blast from the Z-drive extends from Viktor’s reach to Jayce’s

The Acceleration rune embedded in Jayce’s wrist starts to glow from being activated by Jayce and Viktor in the astral plane

Jayce and Viktor are absorbed into the gem and the gemstone blips out of existence 

Recall that the Z-drive was created through an inversion of the Acceleration rune. To multiply something by its inverse, is to divide it by itself. The Acceleration rune multiplied by the Inversed Acceleration rune, cancels out the effect of the other: nullifying both the anomaly from the Z-drive but also the rune.

This explains why there was no larger explosion. Viktor and Jayce (who chose to stay) sacrificed themselves and took themselves out of the equation. Jayce and Viktor were the anomalies— just like the Z-drive should not have existed, neither should have Hextech.

Through all the timelines and permutations of runes that Viktor tried, the only combination that could have worked was in the timeline with the Acceleration rune. It couldn’t have worked if it was any other rune, if Ekko had never invented the Z-drive, or if Jayce had never convinced Viktor to give up his path of destruction, and got his partner back.

In short: Boy Savior saves the day; Love Wins

jayce enduring a symbolic rendition of viktor's trauma is so painful and so, so clever.

being stricken down and immobilized through sheer accident or, in viktor's case, a cruelly random quirk that caused his disability.

then physically dragging himself from the lowest level of zaun to piltover, much like how viktor spent his youth reaching toward the promise piltover offered, but only if he could "pull himself up by the boot straps" and get there on his own. socioeconomic forces working against him be damned.

i appreciate arcane reminding us of viktor's origins - the reason he is so called to help people and, eventually, save himself - and putting jayce through the ringer - the contrast between he and viktor's lived experiences is front and center throughout season 1. the writers send jayce, and the audience, on a grueling journey to contemplate those experiences and how they've manifested in these intertwined characters.

Viktor and Jayce in Gravity Falls where instead of the Hexcore, Viktor becomes involved with Bill Cipher 👁️ And they were lab partners… so I gave them the Stanford and Fiddleford outfits🥰

Arcane spoilers

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.

The Herald & The Souls of Zaun 💀 (based on Hiremy-Hirschl’s Souls On The Banks of the Acheron)

is it just me or do i see correlations between the divine machine theory + viktor as the machine herald

Agency is important to Viktor as a character, as someone who not only rejects the fragility of the organic body on the basis of his personal hangups about labor and emotional turbulence, but also in that he is always willing to use his own body as a test subject.

In Arcane, canonically, the judgement cast upon him for being visibly disabled has been an obstacle in his career in a way that doesn't grant him the privilege or funds needed to work on projects geared towards improving the lives of those bearing the brunt of prolonged work in industrial labor. His body is a front that people are unwilling to see past.

In his masking there is of course a sense of hiding his true self in a very literal interpretation, but this mask can be seen as liberatory: He is the one choosing the version of himself people see, and it does not diminish whatever is behind it. In body-modding there is a choice of what to show, what to hide, what to keep and enhance, what to reject.

The hexcore arc has been described as him being used as a flesh puppet, and this is in direct contradiction with Viktor's defining characteristics circling around the concept of control (of one's image, of one's flesh, of one's living circumstances, of one's emotions). I imagine that possession of this sort is body horror to someone like him, the vulnerability of himself as an organic, fallible human a door to this loss.

Where the hexcore uses organic tissue to grow, the inorganic becomes a symbol for reclaiming one's agency. Viktor and Jayce are scientists, engineers - in times of hesitation and grief, they do what they do best. I imagine machinery to be an opposite to the arcane: Metal is reliable and human where the arcane is unpredictable and beyond the confines of humanity as a species.

To bring yourself back to the body you rejected, that rejected you, you must go back to being human, and what's more human than invention, creation, a product of the earth sculpted by human ingenuity?

In our factory, we made hammers. You always save yourself. There is always a choice.

another gravity falls animation! :3 hope yall enjoy!

Viktor just went from being some guy to my all time favourite Arcane character. Funniest possible direction they could’ve gone with him. Every fuck in his mind body soul was spent and gone when he emerged from that goop. Woke up purple from a near death experience and immediately dumped his situationship, quit his job, fucked off to the undercity wearing nothing but a blanket and then became the second coming of Christ on accident. King of protecting his peace. Imagine being that guy who tried to shank him. Some Russian twink with dick and balls hanging out starts glowing and then magically cleanses the poison from your body. I’d be on my knees worshipping him too man what a fucked up situation. Someone please get him some trousers

I feel like if you love the hobbit you also have to be a Boromir supporter. Like if you love stories about the value of home and belonging somewhere and having a community, and you don’t understand why Boromir succumbed to the false promise that the One Ring would save a war torn and broken Gondor, idk what to tell you man.

he’s the adult supervision, he’s the voice of reason, he’s a cringefail king, it’s Captain Haddock! Quite a few people asked for a timeline post for Haddock after I posted one of Tintin.

I found the whole idea of the Haddock family curse to be very interesting, and the implications behind it to be pretty dark… cw for alcoholism and childhood abuse. Let me know if you need anything tagged.
