NO LITERALLY LMAOO

i think the general idea behind it was to be reminiscent of his mechanical design in league and make the visual transition from his uniform to his suit easier, but it just is so much.

Mans is wearing like 4 layers at least including his brace.

Speaking of which—his back brace seems based loosely on his suit, too—with the leather shoulder strap looking vaguely similar to the strap across his chest supporting the hexclaw.

In-universe however I wonder if Viktor chose to adopt so many layers into his daily outfit because he looks to have like 2% bodyfat at this point and being skin and bones can get cold and/or he wants to better conceal the fact that his health’s taking a turn for the worse.

But yeah op you’re absolutely right and you should say it—Viktor’s act 2-3 outfit is horrible lmao

Surely this is a safe place to say this

Random thought while struggling to find references for this fucking outfit THIS ACT 2/3 ACADEMY(?) UNIFORM IS FUGLY I'M GONNA SAY IT

The fuck is this mess. What is it. Why does it have like 5 layers. wtf is his tie tucked into. The color scheme. Vertical stripes. Tf are those weird strappy buckles for. What are the reflective bits. Is it a reflective vest. For all the forklifts driving around ofc. The only saving grace of this outfit is that it exists on Viktor's body and that elevates it from a 1/10 to a 2/10.

Is this specifically Viktor's wardrobe or is it an Academy uniform cuz it's a lot different from what he and Jayce wear in Act 1 (and they're not really involved with the academy in later acts iirc I guess but I'm in no logical state here)

Look at that. Comfy. Practical. Scholarly. A dress shirt and a thin vest. The kinda shit you can wear while hunched over at a desk for 15 hours straight. Easy to cosplay. Shit I wear this on the regular already.

Why'd they give him a goddamn sleeveless silver surfer ass parka later on. I hate the vest. Why it look like that. Is so fucking bulky. That shit looks heavy. My boy gonna melt in any decent summer. I worked up a sweat and a sore neck just looking at it. Spent 20 minutes trying to figure out the fucking act 2/3 fit for cosplay and drawing purposes and I'm like 90% sure he's wearing three separate tops not including the vest. Viktor if this is your own style and not like obligatory businesswear then this ain't it (you're still stunning ofc)

(im very sorry im rather drunk and have been spending too much time thinking about this)

and you will surely be the end of me, but how could I 've known?

guys is it gay to gently cling on to your partner after discovering you’re destined to be soulmates in every universe for the purpose of dying hand in hand

okay but jayce's eyes in this scene where is meets viktor and just- everything

the first time he sees him jayce is genuinely in shock, he's surprised his eyes are widened and his pupils shrink in shock for a moment and for a second its like he actually sees viktor and the scene is a lot warmer, it feels warmer as well

but the next time we see his eyes the background and everything gets colder a lot colder and they're narrowed, his pupils seem to kinda return to normal and while his eyebrows are tilted in anger just look at his eyes. there's something soft in them and especially the one on the right of the picture (jayces left aka the one thats kinda covered by hair). like it kinda looks like he was to cry or is about to at the very least, although this could just be a trick of lighting.

but his eyes look kinda similar to the one in the scene below (NOT THE EYEBROWS). the expression is similar cause it looks almost sentimental. it looks like he's breaking down like he's about to cry and its so raw. the lighting is different and yes you could argue that those are just his eyes but they tell so much.

then after viktor is dead his eyes seem to harden fully once more because as he was shooting he didn't see viktor he saw something else, something that he now killed which yknow... yeahhh he still looks traumatized as hell-

anyways when he was shooting viktor he didn't see him, he probably saw the hextech or- hell he might've saw the future and traveled back in time to stop it. he might've saw what viktor had become, something controlled by the hextech and knew the only way to stop it was to kill it

I think I need MelVik connecting when Viktor was on his sick bed. they had been amicable before, maybe a little more than that due to their connection through Jayce and her presence around Hextech and such. but they weren't entirely friends. not yet.

and she goes to see him. perhaps she feels a tinge of guilt at assuming the worst about Jayce, or her bleeding heart makes her feel responsible for keeping Jayce out of the lab when Viktor had needed him. maybe Jayce needs to step out for a moment, and she soothes his worry by promising to sit with Viktor. maybe she just wants to be closer to the man that's so painfully important to the one she loves, wants to befriend him, wants to know him, all before it's far too late.

maybe it's a little bit of each.

but she goes to see him. she sits in the chair that Jayce has nearly worn a hole through, and keeps a semi-awkward distance between them, not knowing what is too close and too far.

this man is dying. he is dying and he has accepted that. he looks like a corpse. cold emanates off of him. he is something she doesn't fully understand.

she doesn't know how to approach.

but she does.

she greets softly and speaks softly and hesitates to touch, but rests a hand over Viktor's and feels how cold he is, even as a sickly warmth brews in his bones, leeching the warmth from his skin and the energy from his body.

he seems surprised she's there. it feels out of place. like the song and dance of their dynamic has shifted, and now he needs to relearn the steps. and now this is a dance of two, not three.

she will tell Viktor, in enough detail to be understood and not enough to be awkward, where Jayce was. because it feels right to confess. it's not an apology, but the avoidance of keeping something like a secret from a dying man.

Viktor will probably just nod and say something self deprecating, because what else do you say when your body is already making a joke of itself? before assuring her that Jayce is not his keeper, that she is not to blame, but even that comes off as some twisted attempt at humor. sue him for being sardonic as he lay dying.

but unlike Jayce, who will cringe at the jokes, she will hide a smile behind her fingers, muffling a soft, if not saddened, chuckle in her palm.

Viktor's eyes will light up ever so slightly.

she'll feel awkward once more. should she have laughed? was this playing into a complex? was this right of her?

Viktor will smile weakly.

she'll feel a little less awkward.

she will realize Viktor needs someone to laugh with. that Jayce, bless his soul, cannot be that person for Viktor. his worry has brewed too long. it's too strong.

but maybe a fresh face like Mel's can be there to smile when Jayce cannot. will laugh when Jayce cannot. can make cheeky jokes and pokes and prods.

the three fit together like 3 pieces of 3 broken puzzles. they fit together, not perfectly, but they fit, and create a finished object, even if off kilter her and uneven there. but it's ok, they're making due.
