#jinx and viktor

[simplyofthestars]

"I have one condition" "looks like you've had a few" "You have much to offer at this commune, Powder"

THAT WAS VILE FOR NO REASON

jinx: *makes an ableist joke towards viktor*

viktor: *immediately deadnames her*

they deserved more time together lmfao

[mettywiththenotes]

It's funny to me that Jinx makes fun of his condition when she has one too. Kind of feels like a hint to it when Viktor uses her old name, the way she reacts and her whole thing of Jinx vs Powder, who is still there and who isn't

"Looks like you've got a couple (of conditions)."

"You have much to offer this commune, Powder." Sort of like he's replying "Oh you're one to talk."

Viktor clocked her fr

Arcane gives away the plot in incredibly unsubtle ways The most unsubtle hint is that Sevika's name can literally translate to "Servant of God". That's genuinely clever.

The origin of nations are highly mythologized stories so it works that her role in the story and on a meta level is to assist larger than life characters with cults of personality that can make Zaun's story happen.

The story isn't subtle about any of this! She worked for Silco, a man draped in anti-christ imagery with a cult clearly brewing in the background of Zaun, because he could make Zaun happen. Then when Silco's ability to put Zaun's independence above all else faltered in the face of his loyalty and love of his daughter he dies.

In a bit of foreshadowing Sevika already revealed the trump cards she had in her deck in the face of Silco's absence, Jinx and Viktor. Two figures already set up for greater feats of grandeur and idolization than Silco had achieved alive.

Jinx, whose been baptized and ressurected as often as Silco, is the character for without whom the plot could not exist (or keep going). Jinx's militancy against Piltover forced was the reason Zaun's independence into the Council's room. And throughout the show Jinx imagery has either absorbed or subverted Janna's symbolism.

Janna is characterized by swirling blue winds, but in Zaun it's the blue of Jinx's cloud smoke that defines the land.

Instead of Janna's blue bird meant to symbolize hope, Zaun is filled with Jinx's crows that call out Jinx's next act.

Now Jinx has desecrated Janna's holy site in her own image by adorning the ruins with a shrine to her own life.

Meanwhile we've seen Viktor in the Sump, shrouded like a prophet to heal those harmed from their long-term shimmer dependence. Viktor is not set to remain in rags though.

Half the time the Machine Herald is referenced it's always coded in power.

In the first shots of Zaun post-time skip we see a well guarded building called "The Herald's Palace".

In Sevika's playing cards Viktor's mask is given prongs to evoke the image of a crown. In both instances the Machine Herald's image is laced with Jinx's visual motif. First Jinx's blue swirls Frame The Herald's sign on his building, and her debut tag is centerd on his tarot card.

It's only in past deeds is Jinx's presence unseen on Viktor's work. For example, the drains of the water treatment system Viktor is hinted at creating are decorated to resemble previous iterations of the Machine Herald's masks and are visually his alone.

It seems we're in for a double act next season!

I'm glad Viktor and Jinx met but I wish they would have met in their prime. Viktor's in his Jesus arc he's not having any fun or building anything and jinx is depressed so she's the same way. The reason people wanted these characters to interact was because of their shared genius. There's only three people who can crack hextech: Jayce, Viktor, and Jinx. Jinx is the only zaunite who's intellect is comparable to Viktor's. Viktor literally complimented her bomb design. Jinx is literally the reason why Viktor is part hexcore now.

[mikdoodles]

so act two made me wanna draw jinx/viktor bestieism bc i love them so bad and i have been waiting 3 YEARS for an interaction between the two

[miraofhearts2point0]

Viktor brainrot always strong but what if Viktor becomes a Vander-like figure of sorts; not that everyone will love and respect him, but bc he'll become the peacekeeper in a world of druglords and chembarons. a Zaunite who crossed that bridge and lived; a Zaunite who believes his city can progress just as Piltover has.

i know a lot of people are worried Jinx stole his spot as the Undercity Symbol™, but i really dont think she will steal his thunder per say, i think Jinx opened the gates for Viktor to become The Machine Herald. Jinx is why Viktor could become who we will see later on; he picked himself up, yes, dont get it twisted, but it seems like Jinx went into hiding after her fight with Vi, and so, needing a new Undercity Symbol™, Viktor would step up to take her place.

i really dont think it's out of the picture at all. i think the two will build off each other; we wanted their duo since s1, right? why is this somehow too insane to comprehend or understand? idk.

Talking about Arcane season 2, so spoilers!!

\\

Showing the carnage that comes from Jinx with shimmer and hextech right next to Viktor's healing and purifying with shimmer and the hexcore is amazing honestly and so smart. It showed two very different results for two very different people. Viktor's major encounter and use being the Hexcore triggered and helped by shimmer and Jinx's major encounter and use being shimmer and its events triggered with hextech. I love these two so much.

[mettywiththenotes]

Jinx: He doesn't deserve you. If he doesn't treat you right by now, you're gone

Viktor: I'm gone

Jinx: NOW GO CHOP HIS DICK OFF-

[heavnlysaturn]

Jinx: So, muscles gets dumped and goes 'time to kill.' Classic

Viktor: A flawless demonstration of emotional maturity

I’m not sorry but I’m gonna stop being quiet about my favorite Arcane ship here goes

JINXTOR

ahem thank you. Anyone who doesn’t ship them, no need to read further :)

Also I KNOW THAT LOGISTICALLY THIS SHIP DOESN’T MAKE SENSE and I DO NOT CARE

I’m actually so so thankful to whatever animator was in charge of Isha’s design because I know that despite it not making any logistical or timeline sense, it encourages me shipping Vinx a thousandfold.

Because look at them:

The big golden eyes.

The tooth gap.

TELL ME SHE ISN’T THE SPITTING IMAGE OF BOTH JINX AND VIKTOR

(In the delusional fantasy world I live in,) Isha is the illegitimate love child of Viktor and Jinx

Beautiful happy family 🥰 (let me pretend)

[ploopyoopy]

Love their silly duo
