Readers, make sure you have all your favourite Ao3 fics downloaded.

Writers, make sure you have copies of all the fics you have posted on Ao3.

I don’t want to be alarming, but things could get really bad really fast. OTW shared this today on Twitter, and I'm a bit worried about it 😅

Ao3 is a non-profit organisation. If they have to start paying taxes, I have no idea what will happen.

I can't believe all they had to do to Jayce Talis was take away all the hope he had and then take away the last little scrap of hope he didn't know he was hanging onto for me to love him with my entire heart

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.

I had to think about the fact that Amanda Overton mentioned that Silco is an introvert.

When Vander and Felicia were talking, he was sitting a little more away from them, writing down things, eating and drinking for himself in silence and focused. He enjoyed their company, he felt comfortable and included, even though they weren't directly speaking to Silco. He wasn't perhaps much of a talker back then or preferred to be in company with someone without holding much dialogue with each other or doing interesting things.

Listening to the people you consider your friends, a nice meal and a drink was perhaps a safe haven for Silco.

God, how broken he must be to become the kingpin we all know and love 💔

I haven’t even drawn any proper fan art of the show yet, but the Arcane and Leyendecker combination is just too good

"Viktor the scrawny introvert is less sexually experienced" sure sure whatever but why go for that basic shit when instead...

They finally bang and during the afterglow it somehow comes out that despite looking and acting Like That, this nerdass demisexual Himbo has always been too distracted by illegal science to mess around and now Viktor is sitting there processing that he took the virginity of Piltovers Most Eligible Hot Bachelor over a worktable like

too little too late

i have been feeding my arcane hyperfixation instead of doing hw. time to fix that
