Oh my god, fandom people cannot fucking handle the existence of ace characters.

If the co-creator of Arcane says Viktor was intended to be ace, hes fucking ace.

It's like you cant even fathom that he could have a meaningful and deep relationship with Jayce that's not sexual or even inherently romantic. In fact I'm even more in love with jayvik as a QPR. Its. Its beyond sexual or romantic love. Its more.

I can count on one hand the number of canonically asexual characters in TV and most of them are only Word Of God confirmed. You'll live if you cant ship this one character.

If it were a lesbian character and people were saying "I just dont see her as a lesbian" or "shes only lesbian in canon I can ship her with a man if I want" theyd be (rightfully) crucified. But since it's an ace character (an ace man at that!!) Its suddenly perfectly acceptable

And the fact that I only recently found this out and havent seen a lot of people talk about it is also pretty damning.

#not art #text post #arcane #chat is it homophobic to confirm a character as asexual and put your foot down about it #also i do not think him saying that romance was never part of it is aphobic of him. its a bit ignorant #but that doesnt make viktors canon sexuality less valid #'they cant be ''just'' friends' 'theres no platonic explaination'#well they can and there is #vent #alastor from hh all over again. except this time the creator actually put his foot down and everyone is pissed at him for it #rant #also i do not understand people ipset that hes ace while disabled?? disabled ace people exist and viktor is def NOT portrayed as emotionless
