Do you ever think about the fragrance that Evelynn, AKA the Demon of Agony and K/DA Diva, has dropped? We've seen this moment in the "Harmony" comics.

At first glance, the name is very trivial. Just "Passion" - there's nothing surprising, nothing authentic, nothing unique about it. Expected and boring.

But let's assume Eve is less obvious. The name "Passion" might be an hommage to one of the most iconic fragrances of the 20th century - "Poison", Dior. And Evelynn's passion is literally poisonous.

"See, someone said, "Don't drink her potions

She'll kiss your neck with no emotion"

"Grab a cop gun" kinda crazy

She's poison but tasty

Yeah, people say, "Run, don't walk away"

'Cause she's sweet but a psycho

A little bit psycho

At night, she's screamin'

"I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind"

It is about Eve - she's passionate and poisonous at the same time. She kills you, but it's a sweet death; "Poison" smells like sweet death. It is starting with sugar plum, berries and vanilla, then continues with tuberose and white flowers, and ends with patchouli and spices.

Plum, berries and vanilla - sounds like some delicious dessert!

But then, tuberose, - a poisonous flower associated with sensuality and bodily scent, with obsession and desire.

Then patchouli and vetiver, a combo that smells like wet soil in a crypt.

It is all so Evelynn. Could it be that her own fragrance was inspired by Poison?

And the Poison bottle is deep purple - as the night where the demon lurks, and darkness swirls in it.

So Evelynn, I tell you.

Hi, tumblr.

Did you notice Viktor has many common things with Kali, the Indian goddess of chaos?

I am no expert, and honestly do not think that the Arcane creators have consciously implied these things, but I like the concept.

Let's go.

Kali the Godess is associated with time, death and destruction. She is also connected to transcendental knowledge and is the first of the ten Mahavidyas, a group of goddesses who provide liberating knowledge.

The main theme of many myths about Kali is Kali's pacification. She is both creation and destruction, she is as close to death as possible, she is transcendental knowledge.

Now, we have Viktor dying and then rising from the dead. Viktor is "I can't fight this time now". For a time, Viktor was connected to all transcendental knowledge of the arcane. He had started a literal apocalypse because he wanted people to live without pain, without any physical borders that hampered him so much. In countless universes he succeeded in destroying the world, and creating it anew (with questionable results, but well, who are we to question gods?)

Coming back, Kali's name means "who is black". In art forms Kali is painted mostly with deep blue skin - this is not about race and skin color, but rather a metaphorical representation of chaos and death she symbolizes. Then we have Viktor, who was transformed by the Hexcore to have deep blue skin fused with arcane metal, when he "rose above humanity", and lost the last parts of human-like skin when he became the Herald, as close to a God as you can get. His "final form" has three arms and deep blue skin, and moreover, his transformed face is similar in form to the crown Kali is depicted wearing.

All in all, we have Viktor who can comprehend all time and space and their possibilities through the arcane, and can manipulate them enough to influence universes (and save Jayce over and over, he who gave him the blanket fused to his every form)

Finally.... I mean, just look at him. Then look at Kali (there is one traditional art and one modern one). And one Viktor art! I express my gratitude to the artist (@azuriteseagate), because without that pic I would have never had that idea.

Anyways, I just think that it's neat. Once again, I'm no expert, so if you can add/fix/infodump, please do. Thanks for coming to my TED talk!
