Since you agree on clingy Viktor. Do you agree on annoying Viktor? Does he tap your nose while you're speaking? Does he pinch your side when you're reaching for something on a shelf? Does he bite?

...Sorry. The Viktor brainrot got me...

Hi Anon! Sorry it took so long to answer this one, again it was tundl playing jokes with me or I'm just going blind because of my old age, who knows. Anyway.

I hope... I hope this is not going to ruin anything for you, but I see Viktor as a person who cherishes his personal space most of the time, therefore I think he would also respect the personal space of his partner when the time is not right for a loving invasion.

So: as long as you are busy doing something, he doesn't disturb. And it's my very personal take, because have me deep in thoughts, writing, trying to focus and come and pinch my side or begin talking at me and I WILL cry. BUT! But.

Have a private moment when the stars align and the time is right - and he is absolutely insufferable. Have a groundbreaking thought that you are trying to voice out naked in bed and he will nod at you with a smile and tell you that's so very interesting while biting your neck and go out of his way to distract you while probing more of the groundbreaking thoughts out of you and he will be just utterly amused with the struggle. He will be disgusting and lick your face and continue to lick it while you squeal. He will tickle your feet and play with your hair and your fingers. It's the levels of annoyance that are not annoying when it's your lobster, you know?

Viktor brainrot got you, you say... Interesting, I wonder why, who did that to do you dear Anon?

Small habits

The laboratory was immersed in a deafening silence interrupted only by the continuous rustling of pages and the rhythmic noise of the pen scratching against the paper. Viktor was bent over a series of formulas, his eye alert and focused with his hair disheveled from the long day. Every now and then, in a completely unconscious gesture, a hand would leave the pen to curl a lock of hair between the fingers, before returning to writing. He was aware that he hadn't always had this habit of playing with his own hair. It was a gesture that he had acquired, almost without realizing it, during the long afternoons spent with you, in his laboratory, while you were both immersed in your own research. You, with your light smile and eyes always looking for hidden details, often noticed details about Viktor that not even he himself perceived. You had the habit of reaching out for his hair, absentmindedly playing with a lock as you reflected on a calculation or a formula that you couldn't figure out. Viktor was aware that you didn't do it with the intention of distracting him, but rather that it was an involuntary gesture, your way of calm down, to find a thread between your thoughts and arrive at the solution to the problem. Yet, every time he felt your fingers in his hair, he couldn't help the smile that grew on his face. That small gesture had become a source of calm and comfort for him. Over time, without realizing it, he had begun to replicate that gesture when he found himself alone. Now, in the quiet of the laboratory, while the dim light of the lamp reflected on the sheet full of calculations, Viktor continued to play with a lock of his hair.

I just got into the Arcane fandom recently and seeing people discuss Viktor's potential and capabilities as a sexual and/or romantic partner is really interesting to me as someone who's exploring the asexual label.

I really liked your Humble as I go fic and I do agree with what you said in your notes, but I also wanted to get your perspective on my characterization of Viktor and if it holds any sort of truth to his character as a person who hasn't even finished the series.

Based on what I've taken in, the only way I could see Viktor not having sex is if he didn't see any value to it, but it's difficult for me to fully believe given how his relationship with Jayce is absolutely filled with so much passion and love when they've had no instances of sex. The only thing that would be holding him back from entering that stage in a relationship would be himself. He's a workaholic to the freaking core and the environment that Arcane has these characters in would be enough for anyone to not have the ideas of settling down and finding "the one" in their minds.

But is that enough to label Viktor as ace? Because you can still be intimate with someone even if you identify as asexual—it's a spectrum just like any other queer label. Honest to God, Viktor screams yearning; I have not seen such a character with the potential of being the most hopeless romantic in a hot minute. He is as cheeky as he is passionate, which could definitely translate into other possibilities in bed.

Tbh I think I lost any comprehension of thought midway of this rant. It's 2:00 AM and I hope you're picking up what I'm putting down. I only opened this can of worms because you write for Viktor frequently, so you should have a good understanding of his character.

Sorry for the big rant! Idk anyone in my life who's seen Arcane so Tumblr is all I have rn unfortunately 🥀🙏

Hi Anon!

First and foremost, I think there is no 'right' or 'wrong' in exploring our blorbos, and absolutely everything can be done with them. So, I don't discard any headcanon, or canon for that matter (even though ace Viktor in canon was introduced rather poorly I think it's fully valuable to have him as such in fics).

So yes, totally! Especially that ace doesn't have to come with the aro label! Which agrees perfectly with your yearner Viktor trope. I think on some level platonic yearning can be stronger than sexual one. When it comes to Viktor and Jayce, it's still ambiguous to me in season 1 (I think Jayvik there is very Jaybe, Jaybe not, therefore all interpretations are valid), but season 2 (a little spoiler maybe?): they are definitely obsessed with each other. Big yearning on both sides, platonic or not.

I think we don't see Viktor engaged in any romantic situations in season one, because we've been denied the 7 years in between arcs. And once we get to see more of him, he is... busy trying to not die. So, your: "Viktor not having sex is if he didn't see any value to it" is very right, maybe not so much as he doesn't see any value in it, but literally has no time to waste for it. Sex is a very vulnerable place, I think it's even more vulnerable when you are a person with disability, therefore with death looming I agree that it would be low on Viktor's priority list.

I do like to explore him as a sexual being, I obviously lean toward him being on the dominant side of things and mostly portray him in cishet scenarios, but I do not think that's the one and only truth. I think there is no bounds as to what Viktor is: he can be cis, trans, dom, sub, switch, straight, gay, ace or just simply queer and freaky and vanilla if that's your vibe, and there is nothing wrong with any of it. I also think that since you are exploring your own ace label it might be a really nice way to go in-depth with it through Viktor.

I hope I did pick up what you've put down to your satisfaction. Feel free to ask follow-up questions, but please remember I operate on my personal impressions of a character I like very much.

Also: "you write for Viktor frequently" - that's a very delicate way of saying that I am fully obsessed with him and do nothing else with my life but write silly stuff about him :D Anyway, whenever you want to yap, I'm here!

I love the concept that Viktor ends up with Jayce’s last name through some originally non-romantic means so much that I have multiple versions.

Jayce accidentally gives Viktor his last name by being so insistent on putting Viktor’s name first in every circumstance. When he’s listing their names on anything he puts them down as “Viktor and Jayce Talis”. When he introduces them to people he says “Nice to meet you, this is Viktor and I’m Jayce Talis” with a pause before Talis because he always forgets that he should say his house name too. Viktor slowly starts to notice that they’re referred to in the tabloids as “the Talises” and that higher ups at the academy will introduce him to investors as “Viktor Talis” without Jayce even being there.

When they first start working together, they put their initials next to things in their shared notes to mark when they have questions or agree with something the other wrote, or to differentiate when someone is dictating while the other talks. In an effort to not have it confused with a variable, Viktor initials VT (VikTor) as a bit of a joke to look similar to Jayce’s JT. However, one day when Heimerdinger is looking over their notes, he marks out a question in the margin for Viktor with “Viktor Talis” written out next to it in full. Viktor and Jayce debate for a moment after he leaves if it was supposed to mean it was for both of them, but the contents of the question makes it entirely clear that Heimerdinger things VT stands for Viktor Talis and has accepted that Viktor has adopted Jayce’s last name with no questions.

At the beginning of Hextech, as they are trying to get investors, Viktor regularly gets identified as being from the undercity and harassed for it by wealthy Pilties when he tells them his name is “just Viktor” when asked what house he is from. So one day Jayce suggests just telling investors that his last name is also Talis, thinking that people will assume they are brothers. Viktor gets flustered and tries to politely decline, but Jayce seems to confident that he lets it happen. It takes him weeks to figure out that Jayce doesn’t realize that everyone thinks they’ve gotten married or plan to. Viktor doesn’t have the heart to tell him and won’t let Mel break the illusion.

Jayce takes Viktor on a tour of the forge and when he gets done takes a hammer to jokingly knight him and dub him “officially part of house Talis” Jayce thinks nothing of it until the next time they meet someone new together when he almost spits out his drink hearing Viktor introduce himself as “Viktor Talis”

Some investor that they fucking hate can’t keep their names straight for some reason but always sees Jayce wearing his house sigil so he says “ah, Viktor Talis” every time he sees Jayce. They find it so fucking funny that even just saying “Viktor Talis” sends them into uncontrollable laughter.

Ximena refers to them exclusively as “my boys” to the point that most people who met her after Hextech was founded assume that she has two sons, Jayce Talis and Viktor Talis. She doesn’t feel the need to correct them as she does truly love them both as her children and is also quietly hoping one day Jayce will get his head out of his ass and ask Viktor out on a date.
