I had a moment to think about it.

The heartbreak has cleared and I'm remembering a lot about Season one.

I'm remembering Viktor in particular. He was always a character I loved to discuss the most because of how....alive he is. Even though he was the one that was dying. Jayce is a bit more expressive in body language but Viktor also had a wild personality, he had a cute happy smile, he had sass, a funny sense of humour. He can get vocally upset, he voices his thoughts, he reacts.....like a person...smacking Jayce's hand away when he's upset.

Viktor is human. Viktor was human.

Viktor's different in season 2.

We've been waiting for the Machine Herald since forever, and I remember someone mentioned that the saddest thing would be to watch Viktor lose his emotion when he's always so alive and he feels deeper than anyone else does. But that's the thing, we don't even notice it. We don't even notice his feelings being stripped away because we are so relieved that he is alive. Maybe even Viktor doesn't properly notice it, but he knows something is off when Jayce hugs him and he cannot feel his touch, or the cold.

We think Viktor is channelling his depth and his love into helping people, and helping people with science is something Viktor has always wanted to do. He also greatly regrets killing Sky.

It's amazing. Like the hexcore is showing us all the parts of Viktor that we recognise and love, without letting us realise that he's lost the parts that make him human. It's like when a drug addict gets high and they look happy, oblivious and unaware of the drug killing them from the inside.

Sky practically called Viktor a fruitcake and then faded away. That is queen behaviour.

[molynomials]

people hating on sky but idgaf they look pretty together and im happy for her

[posalis]

and i wonder: do you see her in the back of your mind in my eyes?

i see her in the back of my mind. all the time. (feels like a fever. like i'm burning alive. like a sign.)

[hexhomos]

i mean. pastel gay viktor is also very attached to sky for some reason

"Sky" is the Hexcore manipulating him into wanting more power and feeding his loneliness. This was actually ALSO confirmed by christian linke via audio interview lol:

In his 'saviour' skin Viktor is at peak controlled-by-hubris form, blind to the harm he's doing and working up into the big world brainwashing plan. He's act2 Viktor, the rest of his arc in this show will still happen. During a stream Amanda has also mentioned Viktor is hopelessly projecting the relationship he had with Jayce onto the fake hallucination sky; it's interesting to note Viktor gives up on his humanity when Jayce rejects him in ep8, and that is also when fake sky disappears.

It was literally a beard all along.

the last kiss

[notapersonyouthinkof]

Man does THIS with his "research partner" and then tries to prove that he needs a woman for whatever reasons

[sotc]

Loneliness is often the byproduct of a gifted mind.

[popomegranate]

I had a feeling that Sky had in some way been consumed by the hexcore but I definitely don’t think it is really her. Look at her face here. Look at her expression here. This Sky is exuding a malevolent confidence we never saw in the living Sky. Her likeness is being used to guide Viktor forward. Likely to spread the arcane.

Viktor actually looks like himself in the astral plain- with wide golden eyes filled with wonder & hope.

He & Sky are following their dream of helping make the world a better place.
