I can't unsee this

it's funny that we were all so worried about viktor's villain arc and then jayce was like L + ratio + here's my unconditional love and forgiveness + i always thought your imperfections were beautiful + nothing about you is broken to me + in every universe i will find you and save you from your loneliness + none of this is worth it if you arent by my side. and viktor folded IMMEDIATELY

There is no prize to perfection… only an end to pursuit.

This is Viktor, Viktor loves his personal space.

And this is Jayce, he also loves Viktor's personal space

Viktor is not immune to the pull of post forge Jayce

Does anyone else think about how Vi said "All us fissure folk can do it" when she was talking about parkour and telling Caitlyn to blend in or she'd look like an outsider and then we see Viktor's flashback and he can't.

His disability makes him an outsider within Zaun.

I've seen people make analyses that he assumed people weren't interested in him because of his disability. But that specific line literally poses that he was an outsider even within his own group. It wasn't an assumption, it would have actively put him at RISK even.

Like his loneliness and isolation isn't just about internalized ableism. It's about EXILE. I would almost imagine it was easier to go to Piltover where at least he knows he "doesn't belong" and it's not his people. Imagine trying to be okay with the fact his own group thinks of him as someone who doesn't belong and shouldn't be trusted. But I don't actually believe that the writer's knew that they were implying all of this this when they wrote it.
