#THE SYMBOLISM OF THAT BLANKET LIKE IM GOING BONKERS CRAZY

[kilucore]

we joke but viktor not having sex organs after fusing with the core is so poignant. the core removed something from his body that tied him to his humanity. hes inching further and further from it in the name of evolution

and then there's the blanket jayce gives him. it's almost ironic, viktor tells him he doesnt feel cold, jayce can see he has nothing there to 'cover up' but he covers him anyway, as if to beg viktor to hold on to his humanity at any cost. and viktor does. to his dying breath, as he sets off on his mission, he keeps the blanket draped around him. it's the last thing tying him to the physical world, jayce is the last thing tying him to the world, he's the last person left who has any affection for him. but now jayce has severed that tie.

viktor lies on his death bed with a hole where his heart should be, but a blanket covering his lower half
