The pacing in s2 really distracted us all from really inspecting how funny and genuinely fascinating Jinx and Viktor's one and only direct interaction was. I don't mean the snark, I mean Viktor had to have known Jinx fired the rocket, either from gossip in Zaun or being literally in a bunch of Zaunites (and Salo's head).

There's no way that Viktor didn't know practically killed him and irrevocably altered the trajectory of his life. In fact, he's likely gotten all kinds of angles on who Jinx is from everyone in the commune. Viktor really could seen from the periphery if his followers' minds the Jinx's growth from Vander's black sheep to Silco's darling terror. And after seeing all the things she's done, he invites her live at his commune!!!!!!

Insanity.

#arcane #jinx arcane #viktor arcane #arcane ramble #jinx and viktor #viktor and jinx #they're so fascinating #s2 works best when you don't think to hard about it but sometimes these unintended implications lead to such interesting conclusions #i once joked that viktor would be beyond caring that jinx fired the rocket and i was technically right #and i really wish we could expand so much more on this #it's also crazy that in spite of all that jinx is visibly put off kilter by viktor and his cult vibes #she sees his weirdness and she's also the only ones the writers have articulate what's wrong with him #and even calls him the machine herald when that's not on anyone else's mind #so she kinda sees him too #jinx was really in her sad meow meow era in s2 so it feels like some people memory holed how straight up vicious she was in s1 #and yet viktor invites this girl who wears misfortune like a cloak into his space
