In another life...

Is this too niche?

Viktor never recognized Sky had her own dreams and passions until it was too late. Simon realized Betty never got to prioritize her own career because she was too busy supporting his.

Sky never got to finish her botany project. Betty never got to go on her archaeology trip.

Betty/Sky idolized and were assistants to their love interest.

Betty/Sky "died" and merged with a creature beyond human understanding (GOLB and the Hexcore). It's unclear if their true selves are still in there.

Betty/Sky sacrificed their lives to save Simon/Viktor, leading to Simon/Viktor feeling extreme guilt.

I had a moment to think about it.

The heartbreak has cleared and I'm remembering a lot about Season one.

I'm remembering Viktor in particular. He was always a character I loved to discuss the most because of how....alive he is. Even though he was the one that was dying. Jayce is a bit more expressive in body language but Viktor also had a wild personality, he had a cute happy smile, he had sass, a funny sense of humour. He can get vocally upset, he voices his thoughts, he reacts.....like a person...smacking Jayce's hand away when he's upset.

Viktor is human. Viktor was human.

Viktor's different in season 2.

We've been waiting for the Machine Herald since forever, and I remember someone mentioned that the saddest thing would be to watch Viktor lose his emotion when he's always so alive and he feels deeper than anyone else does. But that's the thing, we don't even notice it. We don't even notice his feelings being stripped away because we are so relieved that he is alive. Maybe even Viktor doesn't properly notice it, but he knows something is off when Jayce hugs him and he cannot feel his touch, or the cold.

We think Viktor is channelling his depth and his love into helping people, and helping people with science is something Viktor has always wanted to do. He also greatly regrets killing Sky.

It's amazing. Like the hexcore is showing us all the parts of Viktor that we recognise and love, without letting us realise that he's lost the parts that make him human. It's like when a drug addict gets high and they look happy, oblivious and unaware of the drug killing them from the inside.

'Till Death Do Us Apart

“This is amazing!” Sky gushed over the boat that he had brought that day. It wasn’t the first time she had marvelled over something he had built and it was safe to assume that it really wouldn’t be the last time either.

All Viktor could do was shrug. To insist that it was nothing never did help anyway.

“One day you’ll get to make a big one. I know it.” She hummed while putting the toy into the water after winding it up, watching as it took off at a steady pace.

Thanks for collecting this, OP.

I'm starting to like Sky more and more as a character (especially when I constantly see her get dunked on for no good reason!)

Amanda Overton (Arcane's writer) participated in a live reaction to Episode 8 of Arcane. Here's what she said about Sky and Viktor.

Sky was Viktor's humanity

"Sky became the expression of his humanity"

Unlike Jayce, Sky saw Viktor for who he was

"Jayce never truly saw Viktor for who he was in Season 1, and that’s one of his biggest regrets. But Sky was able to see Viktor for who he truly was"

Sky wanted to work with Viktor in a future

"I think Sky’s hope was that she and Viktor would work on that (her project) together, and maybe it would blossom into something more. But he wasn’t in a place to receive it."

Amanda didn't confirm if Sky was real or not

"Sky was absorbed by the hexcore" "Is there a part of Sky manifesting in the Hexcore? Or is it just Viktor’s subconscious projecting her? We always talked about that"

The most fun part of writing Sky

"Sky was always the one giving Viktor warnings, but I loved her the most when she and Viktor were vibing over science. Seeing Viktor happy again, connecting with the anomaly, and having it echo what he used to have with Jayce at the beginning—it felt like he was channeling that relationship into Sky’s character. That was the most fun part of Sky to write."

Implied that Viktor and Jayce hired Sky (i can't remember the exact min, but ill find it)

"We are gonna bring back opportunities to Zaun"

Viktor met Sky when they were kids

"They kinda grew up together"

Viktor 'kept' Sky in the void

'The void he had Sky in'

The layers of tragedy in Sky’s death.

The tragedy isn’t “The Hexcore killed Sky,” it’s “No one saw Sky’s potential as a scientist in her own right until it was too late.”

Especially if the fan theory about Sky’s research being about purifying Zaun’s air with plants is right*

Viktor is dying because of the gases where he grew up, which is “exactly the sort of thing (they) wanted to fix with Hextech.” But they didn’t need Hextech to fix that! All they had to do was give Sky a chance.

I think this is also why Viktor feels so much guilt over Sky- he sees himself in her. He asked Jayce, “Do you think it was my life’s ambition to be an assistant?” It wasn’t Sky’s life’s ambition either.

Throughout Viktor’s whole life people had overlooked him. Unknowingly he had done the exact same thing to Sky. She was doomed to the fate he most feared- dying without leaving a mark on the world.

I think it sucks that Sky’s storyline follows the pattern of scientifically minded women being relegated to a subordinate position focused on supporting the careers of their male counterparts.

No I don’t think the writers are sexist but it rubs me the wrong way that the only female scientist on the show is overshadowed by her male colleagues, never gets to pursue her own career, then it’s barely addressed in the show.

*Why I think this theory is plausible:

In the alternate universe, Claggor is working on a project to make plants that purify air in the underground. AFAIK they’re the only two botanists in the series- Sky had been working on a long term project to better Zaun as well. Especially since they both grew up in the undercity, they understand how bad the pollution is there.

Also: If Viktor learned about her research, he could have assisted her with it with the precious time he had left. He could have died at peace knowing the thing that caused his disease would never again poison Zaun, and that he had a hand in improving lives like he always wanted.
