#though my headcanon for Viktor in Playground and maybe even post-canon is that he's genderfluid

[ellenchain]

Oh! OH!!! WAIT, is Viktor hiding that he's trans in your Playground comic? Because it certainly vibes that way!!

Ohhhh that's actually an interesting interpretation that I didn't have on my radar! Now that I think about it, it really does come across a bit like that! But I have to disappoint you, that won't be the subject of the comic 😶

One of the reasons for this is that the comic is actually about… well… porn… and even though there's a bit more story in part 3, I wouldn't really be doing justice to the subject by putting it in a porn comic. It's a sensitive subject, and if Viktor were to come out to Jayce, I'd want to treat it accordingly.

If you're wondering why I'm portraying Viktor as trans at all, I really wanted to leave it up to the reader to decide for themselves whether Viktor is cis or trans. Since the story takes place in the astral plane and we will only see Viktor briefly in the real world again, it won't be 'resolved' at the end what his real body looks like. I thought that way I could do justice to any headcanon (including my own).

I hope that Playground has not lost its appeal for you now! Viktor isn't hiding anything bad, it's just his own insecurities and a little (big?) misunderstanding. But I don't want to tell too much now!
