James being the one writing most if not all the notes?
Sad because it makes a lot of sense, a lot of these patients and doctors. Same with the prisoners, it all leads to everyone just being James. Warden in the prison became obsessed with the idea that all the prisoners were sick, the notes in the hospital as well showing signs of maybe being treated not well there at one point in his life.
And the writing, a lot of it is the same handwriting, save for maybe a few off here and there. Mostly the prison notes, the writing makes me think it *is* just him because he writes his 1s in a very specific way. Along with his Ns, and Es if I'm remembering right.
Being stuck in his prison from Mary's sickness, the previous traumatic experience of possibly being taken care of very poorly at some point in his life. I don't know, I have a lot of thoughts. This is just a 'THEORY' so I'm not trying to say this is real. Just makes a lot of sense to me
They just read to me as self punishment, and some thoughts he may have had (like the note telling him to kill himself). Implying that, just like Mary, he delusionally came up with a different story to bury it.
Tumblr media
I think some day someone will put together the notes and give this theory a bit more effort rather then my post, because I'm not the only one who thinks it and there is just so much more I can say about it.

Arcane theory - Viktor's utopia and the eldritch horror
Sooooo been thinking. Clearly Viktor's 'healing' isn't actually healing, it's turning people into husks and vessels for some sort of arcane horror. Look at what Jayce sees when he walks through the camp and looks at the 'people', those images being overlaid really fast onto the supposedly serene faces (and also think about Salo not breathing and the like, and this sort of husk-face also appearing from Jayce's pov when he looks at him):
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I fully believe Jayce sees the 'truth' here, and that's why he has to kill Viktor. As Viktor said in season one - 'Jayce, you have to destroy it. You have to. Promise me'. As he said beginning season two: 'I should have died. What am I? The hexcore killed Sky, Jayce.' This force is evil, and I'll come to what exactly it does and what it means for Viktor's arc in a moment.
And as I've said before, not only does Jayce kill Viktor with Viktor's blessing - the entity within Jayce, the 'second will' that herald Viktor feels - that's Viktor himself, the part of Viktor unsoiled by the corruption by the hexcore. We see this because the Jayce coming back after months within the hexcore carries traits of Viktor, he has the leg brace, the shoulder brace, he's Jayce, but he carries Viktor's 'essence'. It's Viktor's choice that this version of him causing so much evil in the world has to die. It's Viktor taking back the autonomy over himself that Jayce took from him when he changed him with the hexcore against his will.
Tumblr media
This sort of split, two wills being at work, is imo exactly what's happening with the eldritch horror hexcore force in Viktor's body and mind too. I thiiiiink that Viktor's still fully in there, only totally under the thrall of that force and deceived by it into believing he's really healing people, and we see glimpses of him - e.g. when he refuses to use Vander for his own purposes. I think what's still purely Viktor is the Viktor we see on the astral plane, the one with the amber eyes that we know so well, the one who shows emotions and has facial expressions that we recognise.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is the Viktor that ultimately allows Jayce to kill him - because that's what happens, the boy/husk leading Jayce to Viktor is under his control, after all, and Viktor, with all his amazing powers, doesn't even lift a finger to try and prevent Jayce from killing him. Maybe this Viktor has started to realise that he's being tricked and used, that he's bringing evil into the world.
So probably that's the Viktor (or a version of that) that lives within Jayce now too. And Sky, the supposedly benign 'guide', his inspiration - that's the hexcore, it's the form the eldritch horror takes to influence Viktor, to bend him to its will, to make him think he's healing when he's in fact killing and making a conduit for evil in this world. The hexcore knows that Viktor's feelings of remorse towards Sky make her the perfect form for toying with Viktor, for deceiving him.
Now, this is suuuch a mean arc I'll have to say. Viktor, who's always wanted to help people, whose main clash with Jayce was over the urgency of that need vs. Jayce's other ambitions, like being well respected within Piltover, ends up killing so many, doing so much harm, while thinking that he's doing good and healing people. I really hope that this won't just be it - Jayce managing to kill Viktor, the Viktor-essence within Jayce evaporating. I do hope that this character does get another chance to actually do good, a less hopeless ending. But it's Arcane, it can be VERY MEAN AND TRAGIC, so we'll seeeeeee what they do with my fave tragic twink...

An Ah-ha Moment
So I'm watching marvel movies to help do some research for my fanfic, specifically The Winter Soldier right now. I had a realization, maybe people already noticed this maybe not. Well when Steve and Nat are at Sam's place they talk a bit about how they're each feeling with the knowledge that S.H.I.E.L.D. has become Hydra. Nat states that Steve seems fairly chipper considering what they just found out, and considering that he basically 'died' for nothing. And she's totally right. During their conversation Steve actually has a bit of a smirk on his lips, and there is a hopeful light in his eyes. Up until now his expression has been serious and flat, morose even. Steve responds with, "Well, I guess I just like to know who I'm fighting."
Earlier in the film Steve talks with Peggy about how lost he's feeling in the modern political climate and how he feels he doesn't know who the bad guy is any more. But now knowing that the bad guy is Hydra, that puts him back into familiar territory. He's done this before. He knows who the bad guy is, it's Hydra, without a doubt, and he knows how to fight them. This is probably the most normal and 'at ease' he has probably felt since he woke up. He's fought this war before, sure there's more advanced weaponry, and Hydra is much farther spread, but it's still Hydra. He's beat them before, he knows that he can beat them again. All he needs is the right team, an new set of Howling Commandos if you will. He's home, and he has a true and defined purpose.
Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED Talk. Haha

So about the three trailblazer kids being aeons:
if you go to the wiki, Idrila, Akivili and Long are all listed as missing and presumed dead, unlike, say, tayzzyronth and Ena, who's locations are accounted for.
Also about March: it's a pretty prevalent theory in the fandom that Idrila was absorbed by Fuli, since there is a possible overlap between "observing/preserving beauty" and preserving memories as a whole. Another things is that the knights of beauty aren't the only followers of beauty - the mirror holders, who collect relics and hope to bring idrila back that way. Mirrors are heavily connected to the remembrance, since the memokeeper on the express is literally in the mirror. Also: March, who collects memories via photos was found trapped in ice.
And apparently, Argenti is told that "he wouldn't recogize beauty if he was staring it in the face" while staring at March. It is entirely possible I've made this up somehow, and I will look for the video.
There seems to be less evidence about the trailblazer being Akivili outside of SU, but I bet chaotic personality and past seems totally in character for the trailblaze, after seeing the memory bubble in penacony.
Dan Heng is the one who has the most evidence so far, as there is a LOT about the vidyadhara high elders that's weird. If Glaciator Marum is the leader of the vidyadhara, why was the ancient sea loaded onto the same ship as IL? Why was he assigned to the ambrosial arbor? Especially since, out of all the high elders, IL seems to be the one most affiliated with water, the home of the vidyadhara.
It is also implied that IL is the only title that's stayed with it's original recipient since the beginning("Yubie, unsullied by 91 reincarnations"). Possibly from fanfiction.
If that's true, then dh is the only high elder that started as one. Even with the whole Bailu situation, he still posseses part of the high elder powers. It's even possible that he still possesses ALL of the high elder powers, since Bailu is stated to be able to wield the "lightning and rain", and that the dragonhorn pillory is intended to stop her destructive ability. If Bailu has destructive powers, then why doesn't dh have his healing? He is learning from bailu though, so maybe he just forgot(or maybe blade has the dragon heart)
Lalody's Lore on youtube has theory that Bailu was made after the sedition, by the disciples of sanctus medicus using the ambrosial arbor, which does have a bit of physical evidence, as neither dh nor df appear with a tail the way she does.
It's a bit of a stretch, but Hoyo does like dropping foreshadowing. It also explains how we're going to beat Nanook - by jumping him tayzzyronth style
Edit: Now that it's not late at night and I have my laptop out, I'm editing this so it sounds less like the ramblings of a madwoman (tho there's a limited amount I can do seeing as it is, in fact, the ramblings of a madwoman lol). Also formatting and clarity and any additional theories/headcanons/whatever I think of while editing this.
Partly crack, partly copium, but I've got some theories/crossover/au thing going on that I wanted to write down so here goes:
Crack/Copium/Theories:
All 3 of the trailblazer kids are actually "dead" aeons.
Stelle/Caelus: Akivili (Herta makes us LARP as Akivili in Hertian Realm and we're known as the Trailblazer while Akivili is known as the Trailblaze so idk I know the player character looks like Nanook but they ain't dead soooo...)
Dan Heng: Long (maybe the High Elder Vidyadhara is actually Long's own reincarnation but they have no idea bc memory wipe. TBH makes no sense for the Permanence to be dead)
March 7th: Idrila (this one's a bit of a stretch so bear with me. The Aeon of Beauty could be HoHe Elysia expy and March is also kinda Elysia expy so ??? And March was froze in ice without memory so it's totally possible that's Idrila's mysterious disappearance)
Also:
Sampo is Aha. He gives strong vibes of being a Masked Fool in canon, but I think it'd be funny if he's actually the Elation.
Pom-pom was created by Akivili to protect the Express after Aha blew it up. Pom-pom is also a proficient marksman. This is bc of some canon evidence alluding to Pom-pom actually being really powerful (Yanqing and Welt both make mention of it iirc) and the engine of the train looking like a revolver. (Also headcanon that the Astral Express itself was made from one of Akivili's twin revolver pistols. Perhaps the other has the ability to summon the train?)
Lan has not and will not kill Yaoshi bc yin-yang/life and death balance and also bc what is a hunter without prey. The Hunt had no issue killing the Propagation, so this seems like the most reasonable reason why the Hunt has been after the Abundance so long without killing them.
On aeons and the relations between paths (I might end up making a relationship chart?):
Death Aeons: Nanook is unnatural death (think murder, natural disaster, etc.), while IX is natural entropic death (like degradation from aging), Lan is controlled, balanced death (think like hunters/predators keeping ecosystem in balance), and Oroboros is the death caused by one's own greed (think pollution, overconsumption). Terminus is the end of time and final death of the universe.
Life Aeons: Tayzzyronth is overabundant life (think how invasive species population boom bc outcompeting native species for resources), Yaoshi is overabundant continuation of life (think unnaturally prolonged life), and Long is eternity (without change or growth, entropy comes for all).
Mythus and Nous are polar opposites in path direction. Akivili is midway between the two (to trailblaze is to turn the unknown into the known).
Some paths are directly at odds with each other (opposite directions), some paths have overlap (too much overlap leads to one path consuming the other like with Ena and Xipe), and some paths are neutral (running perpendicular to the others). Mostly this matters in relation to pathstriders who walk multiple paths, as it is extremely unlikely to find, for example, someone simultaneously walking both the path of the Hunt and the Abundance.
Hooh's is the ultimate neutral path. Akivili's is also a fairly neutral path, though slight odds with Mythus's (to seek to make the unknown known doesn't really work with the idea nothing can be known) and maybe Aha (just bc Aha is a jerk and like Herta said, surely Akivili would've taken offense to Aha blowing up the Express). Idrila, Xipe, Fuli, Aha, and Qlipoth also have relatively neutral paths, though Qlipoth and Fuli are at odds with Nanook and Mythus. Xipe sometimes does not get along with Aha, if Aha is being particularly antagonistic.
Crossover/AU (Genshin):
Traveler and twin are Akivili (one soul two bodies, don't think too hard about it). Akivili is presumed dead by HSR universe bc Sustainer of Heavenly Principles imprisoned Akivili on Teyvat (a world at the fringes of the known universe/Yggdrasil/Irmunsul/Imaginary Tree). Claiming that they are siblings is far easier to explain than that they are two halves of the same god.
Zhongli/Morax is a high elder (do non-high elders have the ability to turn fully into dragons? are there any high elders who are not Dan Heng? idk) vidyadhara who arrived on Teyvat shortly before rebirth. Idk weird Teyvat magic or something made his rebirth cycle this time 10x longer than normal (should only be 600-700 years between rebirth and he's canonically 6000 years old). He is unaware of anything HSR related bc memory wipe from rebirth and nobody around to explain things.
The Imaginary Tree in HI3 and HSR and Irminsul in Genshin are the same tree (Yggdrasil), but some may only be branches of the other
So yeah, stay tuned to see HoYo prove my theories and headcanons wrong in the upcoming years.

My brain is slowly turning to sludge from trying to understand how Elias's body could possibly work based on the little information we've been given so far.
So we know that he doesn't really have organs, as he says so himself at the beginning of the college arc and even states later on that he doesn't go to the bathroom.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These statements are backed up by the fact that when he splits himself there's no flesh or blood inside, just weird flowing shadows.
Tumblr media
However, we see him eat and drink regularly, so like, where the fuck does it go? If he doesn't have guts and by extension no excretory processes, what happens to the food he eats??
We've seen that he has a sort of pocket dimension situation inside himself both when he threw his tantrum about Stella and when Chise's friends needed transportation alongside Chise during the red dragon incident.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's also stated that Zaccheroni is "too big" to easily be transported into the space (though Elias may have just tied him to the wall for the kids safety and was bending the truth here). It's very unclear what purpose this pocket dimension actually serves for him.
I can't imagine that it's part of his biological processes in any way based on the fact that it seems like a small room made of wood and with the exception of the tongues(?) that he restrained Chise with, nothing in there looks like part of an organ.
Which sort of leaves it a complete mystery as to how this man even eats. I know he isn't just pretending to eat Silkie's food and puking it up later because she would kill him for disrespecting her cooking like that. Maybe it just gets sort of absorbed by the shadowy goop inside him? His stupid nonsense anatomy pisses me off so bad

We can know what the amazing digital circus members did when they were working on the game when they hold their breath
Pomni- given how she changes colors it’s likely she worked on the color scheme for characters of the circus
Tumblr media
Zooble- since their limbs straighten it seems they worked on the models of the circus characters
Tumblr media
Ragatha- ragatha must have worked on how the characters interact with objects and the gravity of the game
Tumblr media
Gangle- gangle probably worked on the character animation given how her head spins
Tumblr media
Kinger- most likely worked on the lighting of the game or something like that
Tumblr media
Jax-
What do you the viewers think it is

OH YEAH
I'M NOT LETTING GO THE THEORY THAT JASMINE CAN SEE THE RIFT
Tumblr media
How did this sadistic bitch see the rift, but no one else batted an eye?
Tumblr media
"I saw it PHYSICALLY open...." COME ON
I'm tweaking, cause why no one talking about this tiny detail? Yeah yeah, I get maybe the coloring was just to show the reader what she meant...
Tumblr media
Again, flickering is suspicious, but Jasmine was the one to say, "Well, that's not good :D"
Tumblr media
And she also suggested that they should move
Like I've said before, it's either
A) She can see the rift
OR
B) She's one of the few people who can sense the rift opening or forming
idk
c'mon
it explains a lot, honestly

The principle of magic, which I will be discussing as you read further, is a recurring motif throughout Arcane.
First of all, thanks to her brilliant mind, I would like to credit my sister for coming up with 90% of these ideas and theories.
Now before going to the main point, let’s touch first on the history of runes.
Ryze, once a mage apprentice and later an adept sorcerer with immense arcane power, first learned about the ‘runes’ from his mentor, Tryus. These runes are a collection of shards that hold incredible power. Soon after their existence became known, power-hungry individuals sought to possess the runes for themselves, leading to the devastating ‘Rune Wars.’ When the conflict ended, Ryze took it upon himself to gather all the runes to prevent further abuse.
Tumblr media
Moving on to the events of Arcane S1, I propose that the hooded figure who approached Jayce was Ryze. In an effort to save his mother, Ryze used the most stable form of ‘arcane’ magic to its fullest extent until its power diminished (as it no longer glowed) and then entrusted it to Jayce without educating him about its history—likely for safekeeping purposes. This way, Jayce could not use or abuse the stone as others had before him. The question, though, which I think is essential given the latest episodes of S2, remains: why did Ryze choose to give it to Jayce?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Years later, Jayce’s curiosity and admiration pushed him to create his own ‘arcane’ technology in collaboration with Viktor, which became known as Hextech. I believe that the creation of Hextech caused a thinning of the line between the physical and spiritual worlds, which means that magic was now easy to practice or perform.
Tumblr media
The main point is that, in many fantasy narratives, the principle governing magic is that whatever you desire comes at a cost. With Hextech or Hexcore, when Viktor wished for a healed body—an intense desire—Sky was inadvertently consumed in the process, representing that necessary “sacrifice.” That’s when the Hextech technology started to devise its own capabilities (not to mention the fusion of Viktor’s blood and Shimmer with it too). This also aligns with Jayce’s analogy when discussing wild runes with Ekko (most notably his audible ‘sigh’ when passing a tome) where a second reaction (sacrifice) is needed to perform an action (magic). I think that was how the wild runes were made, in a sense.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As for Viktor himself, he’s become the medium for the physical and the spiritual world given that his body was nearly completely consumed, save for his face. Essentially, he embodies a sort of living martyr. The way he heals others seems to erase their ‘impurities’ through spiritual means; this creates a void that should have resulted in their death due to its physiological impossibility. However, because both realms must fulfill their part of the ‘deal,’ this physical void is filled with materials from the physical world represented by metallic enhancements. Later on, he’s nicknamed the ‘Herald.’
Tumblr media
In the scenes where Jayce, Ekko, and Heimerdinger enter the underground Hextech chamber, visible smoke comes out from their mouths as they speak. This suggests two possibilities: they are alive (which is obvious) and the chamber has a cold temperature. Salo, who was ‘healed’ by Viktor, also went into that chamber one episode later but did not produce any smoke when breathing. It could indicate that he may be lifeless to some extent—less alive than humans. This contrast is further emphasized by Jayce, who, having just returned from his journey, still exhales smoke.
Those ‘healed’ by Viktor appear to serve him as puppets. During the healing process, their souls seem to be extracted in exchange for a more functional body. This concept connects back to the principle of ‘magic,’ where a troubling trade-off occurs: the enhancement of their physical forms comes at the expense of their essence.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lore-wise, this principle is also present among the Void creatures, known as the Watchers, with an intent to destroy the universe. Lissandra, the Ice Witch, struck a deal with them for immortality, dooming—or rather, sacrificing—her world in the process. As the Watchers prepared for destruction, Lissandra’s sisters opposed this threat which parallels the current situation of Hextech. In Arcane, the gradual corruption of Hextech under Viktor’s influence can be seen as a modern parallel to the Watchers’ creeping influence. Viktor, akin to the Watchers, represents a force of destruction masked by innovation, while Jayce, much like Lissandra’s sisters who resisted the Void, stands as a reluctant counterbalance to the looming threat.
I’m not very sure yet with the time-travel theories, particularly about Viktor and Jayce travelling and meeting in different timelines and portals, but they’re plausible all the same. I’m just incredibly fascinated with the recurring themes and parallels of betrayal and sacrifices made for power. Can’t wait what the last three episodes will give! :)

Home: Victim or Villain? Why not both?
I always disliked the idea of Home being evil. But with this update and the last update, I can confidently say if Home is evil, I would still blame Playfellow Workshop for it. Since Wally is the star of the show, it'd make sense for them to use Home the most, right?
Whatever Playfellow Workshop was dabbling in affected Wally, and Wally affected W, like a domino effect.
That is probably why Wally told us "If you can hear me, then be quiet"
Anyway, this implies the creators/narrators of Welcome Home are still around. Well. If my theory is correct that they were involved in some dark magic to create the show- kind of like Amanda the Adventurer, then this wouldn't come off as a surprise.
By the way, I don't mean exactly like ATA, I don't believe they were sacrificing children and transferring their souls into the show but I'm almost certain they did dabble in some otherworldly things.
How else are the neighbors- specifically Wally and Eddie switching consciousness between their cartoon forms and their puppet forms? We see this happen with Wally all the time, and we've seen it happen with Eddie during the Homewarming update.
Home might be used as the source, that's why it was easy for Wally to suddenly have the ability to see through the...fourth wall I'd say? It’s almost like he’s thinking, "I literally live in the core of it all, you expect me not to know something about it?" That's why the connection is natural- mainly to him.
To me, everything is always going to be Playfellow Workshops fault. Some people have theorized Sally may be used to keep the neighbors in order, well if that is a possibility then I think Home being used is also a possibility.

OK CHAT LISTEN (tmagp spoilers)
so we know Alice says the voices in fr3-d1 started about a year before the start of the podcast, likely due to the web arriving in tmagpverse. AND it was an unknown amount of time between the start of tma season 5 and the end. AND WE KNOW that Jon emerged from the ruined Magnus Institute.
THEREFORE
Jon was stuck in a cesspit for at least a year, possibly more and had to think about how he just got stabbed by his boyfriend upon request.

Hextech and Void Theory
So here is my crackpot theory for Arcane Season 2 based on the evidence we have seen so far and before act 3 airs. I will say that I'm not a League lore expert but I did start reading about characters and settings unrelated to Piltover and Zaun. So, if you don't want theory crafting based off of vague League lore in case of spoilers, don't read this!
My theory comes in two parts but it has the same end result: whatever the fuck the corruption is, it definitely IS NOT magic/the arcane. From what I have read about magic in League lore it doesn't quite fit the aesthetic of the corruption we've been seeing. It DOES however fit the design philosophy of another realm: The Void
For those who don't know. The Void is a malevolent and sentient realm that exists outside and between spaces and universes itself. Literally a realm of nothingness. When the world of Runeterra came into existence, the Void did too, and it does not like that it exists. It wants to destroy the known universe so that everything is once again, nothingness.
The aesthetic and design of the Void match almost 1:1 to the designs we've seen of the corrupted hexcore and the the buildings of Viktor's commune.
League of Legends Void and Void denizens art:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Hexcore and Viktor's commune:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The purple with gold trimming and the eldritch designs (unnatural, chaotic, full of holes), match up with each other almost exactly.
Circling back to my theory. I think there's two possibilities:
1.) hextech teleportation was NEVER connected to magic and instead was connected to the void this whole time.
or 2.) Using hextech teleportation drew the attention of the Void and it is attempting to seep into the world of Runeterra using it.
I specify the that it is the use of teleportation that started this because the corruption we see started there, and in season 1, it seems like that is where the void made contact with Viktor (the scene where he's in the gate's tower and stares into the lights). Which makes sense to me, because the teleportation (and this is my theory) cuts through the void to go to another place. This is what allowed the Void to start seeping in and start corrupting everything around it. It's also where Jayce, Ekko, and Hiemerdinger were stuck after the core of the hexgate absorbed them. This explains why Jayce is so freaked the fuck out after coming back and why he is determined to destroy it all. Because he knows the Void will use it to try and enter the world. He knows Viktor would never listen to him, because whatever "Sky" is, she is definitely not really Sky, and more likely is an emissary of the Void. And so, Viktor is firmly in the grasp of the Void.

No way the saint of duty's name is "ortus" lmaoo. I'm calling it now that beef boy's name is GIDEON and Harrow's mind is just blocking it out for some reason. And I bet it was him that paper in the first book was talking about.

You know one thing I'm curious about Akutagawa is whether or not he's going to stay in the mafia, because if you look at this line.
Tumblr media
It's very clear that Akutagawa has found a new purpose in life that's outside what he had before, he's no longer the port mafia's dog, he's Aya's knight and the successor of Bram. Akutagawa now has sworn a path of righteousness and has sworn to protect the people, that doesn't really jell with the mafia.
Plus Akutagawa hasn't killed since he made his promise to Atsushi, and I doubt he's going continue after this, which is something Mori is defiantly not going to like. Plus if his amnesia continues he'll have absolutely no ties to the mafia and since Akutagawa has died already and doesn't remember anything Mori might just let him go.
But you know what group is hurting for members? The ADA, I'm just saying we might finally be getting ADA Akutagawa after all these years. And I think it would thematically fit since this arc seems dedicated to changing the status quo so, having Akutagawa start with this clean slate and start a new life would be really cool.
Plus I have no idea how he would take care of Aya if he was still in the mafia, Bram would've absolutely not approved.

How sad can Viktor's arc get
Just watched the teaser for the last act of season 2, and Arcane is really just going to break my heart with Viktor's arc, isn't it?
So in season 1 we see little Viktor confronted with what Singed has done to Rio, his friend, the experiments with no regards for the actual wellbeing of the animal, and it's what leads to a break between him and his mentor:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He finds Rio in Singed's lab again in the present, kept in a vat, and is still appalled, though he is at this point about to begin problematic experimentation on himself - but in a scenario where he bears the brunt of the risk and the suffering, where he has no intention to make another being suffer, so still not a Rio-situation.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And now we get the teaser, and apparently Singed got his hands on Viktor's body after Jayce kills him and is keeping him in a vat, experimenting on him, trying to 'revive' him in one way or another with the help of Vander's blood (as he suggested in act II), with no regard for Viktor's mind or wishes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And this leads to the eldritch horror within Viktor waking up again, and with it the cultists aka husks, and probably the full Machine Herald gone super evil transformation.
Tumblr media
DO YOU WANT TO KILL ME, AGAIN ROBBING VIKTOR OF ALL OF HIS AUTONOMY, TURNING HIM INTO AN 'EXPERIMENT' THAT WILL CAUSE SO MUCH SUFFERING???
AHHHHH dying (and also looking forward and also REALLY hoping that there's more in store for my boy than just this absolutely tragic arc)
