HEEELPP0 FHE KID??????? THATZ WHAY MY KID FINNA LOOK LIKE WHEN I LET MY BROTHER BABYSIT HEEELPPPP (I SHOWED THE KMAGE RO HIM AND HE CACKLED)

ANYWAQYYYZZZZ 😈😈😈 YAPPALICIOUS TIME

{{I actually have a small literature draft written out for whatever I explain below!! Lmk if y'all want me to share it 🫶}}

So basically Viktor and Marly met before the time of the Arcane show, when Vitkor first became involved with Piltover's Academy. One of the people who worked on the show posted this on Twitter (sorry for the bad quality I screenshotted it over YouTube Shortz 💀) 👇

It reads: (From Amanda Overton, one of Arcane's show writerz!!) "We have a backstory for Viktor that wasn't made canon to explain how he got into the Academy. His parents saved up their money to buy him a uniform and he pretended to be a student until he gained Heimerdinger's attention. Instead of punishing him, Heimer made him his assistant!!"

I've been going off of that tweet for their story,, and treating it as their canon bc i make the rulez now‼️🗣️

So basically when Viktor was made Heimerdinger's assistant, Heimer was probably all like "You need a proper tour of the school" and whatnot,, and since he himself is supa busy (Head of The Council which is Piltover's government system, and also dean to the Academy), he chose someone else to do the official more in depth Academy introduction and tour instead!

AND WHO BETTER TO PICK THAN MARLY????!!!!!!?? Mostly basing this off of my own experience, the amount of times I've been put and placed to help out new students due to being "friendly", "able to work with many different people" and "responsible", (all said from my teacherz,, thank you teacherz,,) is quite frequently!! And I almost alwayz get along w these ppl so shout-out to all the new studentz I knew back in like elementary school!

So basically Heimerdinger calls upon Marly to help out with Viktor, such as touring him around the building, helping him set up his dorm, ECT,, the two also share a few classes!! Marly is down for the task as she is for most thingz,, but shez surprised, as shez never been directly called upon to help someone, itz usually she seez someone new in one of her classez and she startz talking to them. But nevertheless, she pullz up and is ready.

So BASICUHLLY she tourz him around for the day!! Marly is excused from her classez, and Viktor doesn't start his official classez until the next day. They hang out and have lunch in the school library (idk abt y'all but at my school you can do this itz so fun) and just chat n whatnot teehee,,,,,

The two got along really well initially! Marly (and me I've been told multiple timez) is a super easy person to talk to, very friendly!! And as Viktor eased into the conversation, the two practically bounce off one another'z wordz. They both got lil sparklez in their eyez when they talk about thingz they're passionate about. OUGH y'all shoulda seen Viktor'z face when Marly mentioned that, along with being an artist, she was interested in geneticz, and was quite skilled in that field.
