Viktor Has A Rare And Severe Case Of Femoral Anteversion In His Right Leg.

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.

Alina keeps trying to make Baghra feel better while Baghra talks about her past is both sad and funny. Baghra nonchalantly saying she killed her sister and both of her parents were abusive in one way or another like she’s discussing the weather and Alina is genuinely concerned. Mal is just chilling in the background.

Something that I noticed, but is probably super obvious or overthinking, but in the scene that Alastor talks about how “one can become accustomed” to being at the hotel with the others he’s still distant. He’s put himself higher than the rest of the hotel (until Nifty comes up with him). He never flat out says that he himself is becoming accustomed, but that one could, showing both his words and physical distance from the rest of the hotel. It’s also a really sweet scene that shows a bit more of his dynamic with Nifty, not really getting a scene with them by themselves so far in the show. I don’t know, it’s just really interesting to me how he not only distances himself away, puts himself higher, and then shows that he has his own way of caring directly. Which is kinda of a common theme with him, the situation with Mimzy for example?

Pain Of Knowing

(This is based on the amazing show The Mysterious Benedict Society, the newest episode.)

Happiness. Unlimited pure joy. A flash of light and it was gone. Guilt, sadness, self-hatred, grief, betrayal, all emotions he greeted as though they were old friends. Wave after wave of crushing emotion enveloped his mind, turning it numb. He should tell the others. He should tell them that it worked and he was free. He should’ve, but he didn’t. It was too much, too much too soon. Despite himself, he missed the fake happiness. The way it calmed his mind even as he fought against it. He missed the way it erased the pain of knowing. Knowing what was happening was wrong, that his brother was the one who caused it all. Knowing he was being manipulated, put in place and moved around like a chess piece on a board, but not having the strength to stop it. Simply gone. Gone with a wave of a hand and a smile. He would tell them. He would tell them when every thought in his mind didn’t claw at him, when the near constant weight on his chest lessened. He would, soon. Just not now.

I hope you liked it! Sorry for any mistakes I made! I’m open to constructive criticism so feel free!

Thank You Canada 🇨🇦

I’ve been thinking. (Yes yes I know a dangerous thing to do) Van Eck treated Wylan the way he did because he couldn’t read and thought he wasn’t smart enough (even though he couldn’t have been more wrong) which makes me wonder. What would have happened if Van Eck met Kaz when he was a lot younger? I don’t even know where I’m going with this but here it is.
