wait so if the first light happened in 2039 and cypher is canonically in his thirties (late thirties probably). that means.

that means cypher was born around 2010-2014.

Theory: Young Sova Was Chaotic AF

I have this theory that Sova was spoiled by his grandma growing up (bc what grandma doesn’t spoil their grandkids) and had a major rebellious teenage phase because of that

Was a real headache to raise during this phase but got away with it bc his babushka was respected in the military (Imma connect this to that hc i saw somewhere before where his babushka was military and taught him archery)

He and his friends prolly pulled absolute stupid pranks on each other, sometimes using scraps of bullets, shells, and other shit they’d pick up from the nearby military base in Severomorsk

But he got humbled around his early 20s when he’s already in the navy and is now such a soft loving wholesome boy especially towards his babushka

That’s not to say he and his cadet friends were always on their best behavior either

But instead of being the fire starter, he’s the camera guy in every shenanigan (having a camera out in the field so often may have started his knack for intel gathering, drone piloting, and nature photography)

(I just play the vid like I’m fiddling with Sova’s old files and every time the camera guy cackles, I imagine it’s Sova)

Would kinda explain why this guy’s so calm in the VP, man’s prolly almost done it all

Also puts some extra meaning behind Chamber’s line: “Sova, now here is a man of principle! But you have broken rules before, yes? Ah, of course you have.”

if not boyfriends then why the matching glowy blue eyes

fade: you know that voice in your head that tells you that you're doing something wrong?

cypher: you mean the one that sounds like sova?

can i just say that the funniest choice the valorant design team has made is giving sova, a man who's canonically born with a darker hair color than the one he has now, platinum blonde hair

this insinuates that he in fact either got it done in either a salon, by a friend who knows how to bleach, or by himself and i love that

I had to draw him in that family guy death pose after seeing the thunderbolts trailer 😭🤣
