Rewatching Arcane

I'll see you in a better tomorrow.

there’s just something so poetic about how jayce is stuck in the crevice and is forced to drink the dirty water from the fissures that viktor grew up drinking and made viktor sick. about how in falling down into the crevice jayce gains a foot injury and needs to engineer a brace for himself so he can slowly and painstakingly climb his way out of that crevice. then he has to make the trek to the center of the city and to the hexgates and it’s also so *chefs kiss* like it perfectly paralleled viktor’s path

the way he dragged his finger up that man’s face

THE WAY VIKTOR WAS MERE INCHES AWAY FROM JAYCE’S FACE AS HE TRIED TO GET HIM TO BECOME HIS PARTNER AGAIN.

THE WAY HE WRAPPED HIS LEGS AROUND JAYCE AND LIFTED UP HIS HEAD TO MAKE HIM LOOK AT HIM?????

freaky as hell….

Back to the beginning

one thing i keep coming back to is the fight scene in the council room from s208 because it just tells us SO much about viktor. when he enters the room in his avatar he catwalks in. he moves with so much elegance and so much confidence. the way he pins jayce by the wrist and then slowly wraps his fingers around jayce’s hammer. the way he wraps his legs around jayce and cups his face and brushes his fingers over his lips. the way when he’s towering over jayce in the astral plane he calls him *his* partner for the first time.

we’re seeing who viktor is when he inhabits a body that he thinks is perfect

in the avatar of the great evolution, where viktor finally sees himself as powerful, as pure, as just like everybody else… he’s confident with jayce, even dominant, in a way he would never allow himself to be while he was alive in his original body.

and of course the kicker is that without his imperfections, without his entire self, he’s not viktor to jayce anymore. ‘my partner died in this room’

and it takes until the finale, until viktor can see himself through jayce’s eyes, for it to click that he could have been this way with jayce all along. that he has always been equal to jayce. that his confidence, his grace, his power - jayce saw it all along.

and i just found the end of the council room scene so devastating. the way that once viktor’s perfect evolved body is broken we immediately see him huddled and collapsed on the floor, making himself as small as possible

[kohtah-tsu]

it's funny that we were all so worried about viktor's villain arc and then jayce was like L + ratio + here's my unconditional love and forgiveness + i always thought your imperfections were beautiful + nothing about you is broken to me + in every universe i will find you and save you from your loneliness + none of this is worth it if you arent by my side. and viktor folded IMMEDIATELY
