I was really skeptical of him at first but the looks, the accent, his personality and then his backstory all won me over. I didn’t expect to like him the most out of the duo.
@@thesauce1682 “Wait a minute. This isn’t my bedroom!” Viktor ready for the totally believable lie that he got lost, while sneaking late in the evening, to his personal quarters with his “best friend.” Yea
I literally rewatched EVERY scene Viktor has in like 6 times because holy hell I never expected him to be this cute and sassy. Arcane is truly a gift from above 😭
@@maphytaffy Sorry for you but as far as Jayce and Vicktor's relationship is concerned they have never been in love with each other and have never been in a relationship either in act 1 or act 2. This is clearly confirmed in episode 5 where Your "dear Jace" has sex with Mel the counselor. Yes, you read that right! Jace is going to have sex with Mel! So he's attracted to women! And besides he's in love with Mel.
This makes me want to dive deeper into Viktor's mouth, I mean story. What made him emotionless? It cant be just something else. But it could be love, unreturned but tender and true love.
@@jannpial256 hun, you could have edited the comment why did you have to keep the ‘mouth’ part 😂😂😂 I’ve been laughing at this comment for a full 10 minutes because of that 😂😂 P.s these are definitely going to be spoilers (since it talks about his lore) but Viktor was obsessed with something called the ‘Glorious evolution’ essentially Viktor thought that human error was a weakness, since that consistent error in humans could mean death. On the other hand, machinery never makes errors (according to him) so the glorious evolution was about converting humans into robots. However, when Victor changed his body to become robotic, he didn’t realise that his human advantage of logic and emotion would actually be taken away from him. In my opinion, Viktor is a much better parallel to Jayce. Jayce is impulsive, emotional and is easily influenced by his ego. There was a part of Viktor’ lore that talked about him, trying to steal hextech from Jayce’s lab, to help his fellow Zauns folk who were suffering from a degenerative disease (if I remember it correctly) and the hex tech would be the only thing capable of defeating the disease. Obviously, Jayce being a piece of shit, decided that he would counter Viktor, defeating him, and was hailed as a ‘hero’ from there on, Viktor made it his mission to free humans of their weak flesh, and to transgress their weaknesses. Honestly, he’s just a misunderstood nerd that needs a hug.
@@jannpial256 no man read lore he doesnt love jayce he just wants to evolve and is convinced that emotion is obselite and he doesn't need it. He isn't gay Lore is key.
3:20 I love how the two of them have completely different cover stories. Jayce is pleading his case while Viktor is down there rambling on to himself about “wAiT a MiNuTe, tHiS IsN’t My BeDrOoM.” XD
for some reason, about people who need, for example, lung transplantation, do not write that they are destroying themselves. And about modern prostheses of hands and feet or implants. Victor makes his body hardy and saves his life, and I don't understand why almost no one thinks about it.
@@academyminor Probably talking about when Viktor starts going metal crazy and replaces other parts of his body that don't need fixing, like giving himself a lobotomy.

The fact that the Hextech became more important to Viktor than to Jayce. I felt as if Viktor was the real scientist behind the comprehension of the Hexgems while Jayce is more like the engineer & blacksmith/craftman.
It's because they have different end goals. Viktor sees hextech as a way to make the world better (and later on as a way to save himself/ secure his legacy), while Jayce sees hextech as a puzzle to solve and a tool for "progress", whatever that means
From what I understand, viktor what's to make life better for everyone and especially those in need and Jayce just wants progress and recognition in the end.
@@brook_angel jayce wants the same thing The difference is how they use their time. Jayce has more time to pursue his goals than Viktor and in the end he killed an innocent woman over time

Jayce does, the issue is Viktor doesn't have a house so he can't really wield much power. And it was Jayce who started the whole Hex Tech research project. Plus, Viktor clearly doesn't want the spot light based on how scared he was of having to give a speech.
@@shadowofhawk55 Correct. Seems like Viktor's the lesser-known scientist of Hextech, living in shadow. But he should also be the front face of progress day, even if he doesn't want to come out and give speeches or make public appearances. Everyone talks about Jayce, not Viktor. To me I think he's a brilliant scientist, he came up with the idea to crank the Hextech, and I'm pretty sure he contributed a whole lot in making it work.

@@rosethz2474 I am not denying that at all. They are most certainly equal partners. That said, the deck is stacked for Jayce to be the face of Hextech. And I imagine Viktor wouldn't care as long as History remembers both of them, which knowing Jayce (from Arcane, no clue what he's like in LoL) he would absolutely make sure happens.
3:19 "Wait a minute, this isn't my bedroom?" Why tf did you IMMEDIATELY think of the bedroom when you're sneaking into Heimer's lab with another man, Viktor?
Poor Viktor.... He is only trying to make people's life better since he better than anyone knows what the limitations of the human body can do to someone. He is not evil just misunderstood
"Wait a minute, this isn't my bedroom" as if it would've been easily explained for them to be sneaking into Viktors bedroom in the middle of the night 😏
Me before Arcane: I will never simp. (Spoilers below. I thought everyone already knew this, sorry ;-;) Me now, knowing that Viktor becomes a cyborg who turns people into machines: _as he should. as he ABSOLUTELY should. flawless king._
@@rumpalug in OP’s defense this is well known and the show is made knowing most will know some surface-level lol lore, either before going into it or from research after watching arcane to figure out who is which champion etc. it won’t impact your viewing experience so don’t worry much abt it
[Spoiler:] I love Viktor´s playfulness so much! When he kept Jayce from jumping to death the first thing he does is teasing him about being egotistical which makes Jayce angry, but also snaps him right out of his fatalistic despair. Later in the last episode after Jayce repays the favor he just dwells in a bit of self-pity going on about the past when everything used to make sense. And here it is Viktor again who tries to tease him out of his gloomy mood when Jayce remembers an incident of himself messing up and feeling embarrassed to which Viktor only replies: "At least you didn´t throw up." I admire how he is able to be funny just moments after feeling such despair that he almost took his own life. And he is not even doing it to deflect from his feelings, but only to lighten up Jayce´s mood.
2021 and people still think that you need to have a "valid reason" to ship lmao. You really think I care if Jayce sees Viktor as a brother/partner, so what, it's fiction, it doesn't affect your life.
In the show, VI and Jinx kind of took the spotlight, but I absolutely love the way they shaped Viktor - ambitious, enthusiast but also depressingly weak, no wonder his future prospects are machine oriented - flesh grows weak, robotics don't
If you read the lore, viktor and jayce were never friends but more like a 2 mad scientists with different ways of doing things are helping each other for their own gain and their inventions.
By the LoL lore, Jayce is also supose to be a white man with blue eyes and working for the Giopara family, the patreons who give him the crystals in first place. But Arcane is not going to follow the LoL lore. I love that there's not 'actual' lore since every game (LoL, LoR, Wild Rifth, etc) are taking different aproachs to the characters. Is like a "chose your own history, enjoy the multiverse" 😎
@@ian_cris I think every game has is own lore. Yeah, they are inspired in the same universe, but sometime there's contradictions in the comics/short storys of LoL and the cards in LoR. LoR's lore is good as compliment and expansion of the universe, but didn't replace the actual lore of LoL.
@@estrellaescobar5723 The lore of LoR is the most recent and expanded in many ways, it makes sense Arcane takes a lot of this game to tell the rest, also very presumably Arcane is the new canon, either because of its popularity in addition to how much Riot is connecting the plots and character relationships, which is probably Riot's new direction in lore. It wouldn't be strange for LoL to upgrade his lore to suit Arcane
I just finished the show and the first scene in this video punched me in the gut. Victor looks so healthy, his limp is barely even noticeable. His body failed him so quickly
I just think it’s a bit odd how they made Jayce say “he’s like a brother to me.” They’ve clearly seen all the jayvik shippers (which have existed long before arcane was a thing, by the way) If they really didn’t want to make them an actual mlm couple, they could’ve still gone through with the show with Jayce having never said that line. Like damn, Vik got brotherzoned so hard. LoL already has two wlw couples (Diana/Leona and Caitlyn/Vi), meanwhile a whole ass Twisted Fate and Graves exists and they were going to be husbands but that idea was shut down. Why is Riot so allergic to mlm couples, come on. First TF and Graves, now Jayvik..
I honestly think this show has been in production so long they had no idea about jayvik being a thing since it wasn't really 'big' before this at all... but they also seem to not know any other word to describe two men who are close to each other lmao they brotherzone m/m ships a lot
@@cokecan6169 I already mentioned in my comment that Diana/Leona are another wlw ship, they were censored before, until Riot finally made them canon recently. Plus, Neeko is also a confirmed lesbian character. Not to mention that not every relationship is sexual?? Funny how you say “why does everything have to be sexual” when a whole ass straight sex scene is playing while Viktor is struggling to live lmao, but go off I guess. “It’s annoying when people ship any two male characters resembling friendship.” Okay but you could say the same about literally anything, people do the exact same thing with female and male characters. Literally look at Jayce and Caitlyn, they have a big age difference and an almost sibling dynamic, but people still ship them because according to them, “they are obviously flirting” and “you don’t look at a sibling like that.” See, here’s the thing, I don’t mind Jayce and Viktor not being canon, but what I do mind is the fact that they instantly shut down the shippers by saying they have a “brotherly” relationship. Like man, now it just feels weird. They didn’t even hit us with the “and historians said they were good friends”, Viktor just immediately got brotherzoned lmaoooo.
@@cokecan6169 I agree to an extent but that’s just people being afraid of being perceived as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, which in turn is an unwitting display of their underlying homophobic tendencies. (before you say anything about homophobia, reminder that gay people can be homophobic too) As the LGBTQ+ community begins to grow more accepted in our society, those fears will go away. It’s also a result of people being insecure of their sexualities, homophobes exist and the fear of judgement is what causes those problems. So, not to be redundant but that’s why I believe that things will change as people become more accepting. Normalizing those types of relationships will improve the state of society for most people. I hope you realize that the LGBTQ+ community needs those, as you call them, “cringe” relationships, they’ve had literally nothing which is why this is the most basic thing that can be done for them. A lot of people create gay characters just for the clout and money, it’s unfortunate and disgusting that they’re using a minority for their own gain, but it at the very least helps us begin the process of normalizing those relationships. Anyways, as much of an interesting conversation this was, I don’t like making long RUclips threads so this will be my last reply. Thank you good day.
okay but the absolute tragedy of viktor, our baby, our beloved, our spicy little pepperoni, our boy, being gay and desperately in love with a straight man ?? and viktor is slowly dying and they both know it, and he's struggling to complete his life's work with jayce but he can see jayce drifting away from him, being stained by flawed piltovan morals and logic ??? and the dual pain of heartbreak and jayce's betrayal to their original idea of improving life and helping the undercity ???????????? *cries*
If they did ever make a scene where they both confessed their love or smth, i would imagine Viktor would say some cheesy shit like "I've never been able to walk normally, but you *literally* made me fly Jayce"
I've been playing LoL for 8 years, and I never realized Viktor has an accent lmao. In my defense, I'm Eastern-European, so Russian accents just sound like normal English to me.
When I first saw Viktor I thought he was gonna either be the one to steal the research or be the jealous colleague that turns evil I am sooooo f*cking glad I was wrong, but know I just wanna medical help, all for the sake of GLORIOUS EVOLUTION
It makes me so sad that these two friends, best friends,brothers, (probably not) lovers but STILL they were close...knowing what happened to Viktor and Jayce in the future makes me so sad :(
I always got the impression from the way Viktor looks at Jayce and how he looks at Mel that he had some kind of stronger feelings for Jayce. I definitely also feel like Jayce doesn't have the same thoughts, his eyes only see Mel. Its kinda sad 😢
Me before watching Arcane: I'll probably like that "Jayce" the most Me after watching Arcane: ...I'm in love with an absolut crazy maniac of a girl with trauma and an unbelivable cutie that will probably die soon Edit: 3:46 oh and his face made me go crazy for him, just saying
@@Shoko-t3y What happens is much worse though, sorry to break it to you.... You will see him suffer alot more in the future, and him and Jayce becoming enemies is going to hurt alot.

3:19 "Wait a minute, this isn't my bedroom?" Why tf did you IMMEDIATELY think of the bedroom when you're sneaking into Heimer's lab with another man, Viktor?
oh god..
Because it's night time...?
@@tinago845 he was sneaking in Jayce into his "bedroom"
Wait a sec 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@yanuwwuu stop so fucking cringe
Viktor’s reaction to ‘are you sure you know what you’re doing?’ IS SO DAMN CUTE????
There are two types of people in The arcane fandom
- Victor simps
- silco simps
That's me andmy friend from school in a nutshell
Why not both?
IM BOTH
Can’t believe you left out a good chunk of the cast, people are simping for every character 😂
what about Caitlyn simps ;-;
3:47 a precious "I am not entirelly sure, but yes, It may blow up" Viktor expression.
HES SO- JAKAJWSLSUSKS
Ya know?
😬
Viktor is too pure for this world XD
I know!!!!!!!! 😭 😭
until he becomes a champion...
He need to be hextechize
@@antonioarredondo9680 I mean , not much different though, in arcane or as a champion, he is still crazy about invention and progress
HE DOES DRUGS????????????
nobody:
Viktor: Wait what? It wasn't my bedroom? How could i even-
Poor Viktor.... He is only trying to make people's life better since he better than anyone knows what the limitations of the human body can do to someone. He is not evil just misunderstood
He is both evil and misunderstood
@@dillonkeller4477 he's not evil what do u mean. Everything he had done was for the sake of humanity, at least that's what he hoped.
He knew the limits of the human body yet failed to understand the advantages of it too.
RUclips CANNOT be recommending me this video now of all times 😭
"Crank it"
"It's time to crank it"
The foreshadowing of Blitzcrank
Bruh i didn't even thought about that!
Hope to see blitzcrank in future series hes like adorable giant friend
@@hs5942 we will
"Wait a minute, this isn't my bedroom" as if it would've been easily explained for them to be sneaking into Viktors bedroom in the middle of the night 😏
It hurts seeing this after S2.
I love how Viktor just immediately whips out those keys planning to do a crime like its no big deal 😅
I'm a lesbian, but all these characters are incredibly attractive, and FOR WHAT!!!
NO SAME FR
at 1:34, when Viktor says ''I simply believed in myself'' you can see a third eyeshine appear in his eyes and i think that is beautiful.
Me before Arcane: I will never simp.
(Spoilers below. I thought everyone already knew this, sorry ;-;)
Me now, knowing that Viktor becomes a cyborg who turns people into machines: _as he should. as he ABSOLUTELY should. flawless king._
"flawless king" hajsdha I CAN'T
Spoilers but i dont even care, im looking forward to this :0
@@rumpalug in OP’s defense this is well known and the show is made knowing most will know some surface-level lol lore, either before going into it or from research after watching arcane to figure out who is which champion etc. it won’t impact your viewing experience so don’t worry much abt it
Error be like: You dropped this King 👑
@@ouchiegiverjr 💀💀💀 lmao that's exactly what I'm doing
Their eventual separation in the future is gonna hurt lol
yeah Victor becoming a villan is sad
@@mistercat5300 not really a villain
@@mistercat5300 it’s more of a vigilante vibe for me.
I falling in love whit someone can brake my heart?
So, have you watched season 2 already? 🥲
Viktor is so full of conviction and hope during Act I. He’s expressive and witty. By the time Act II rolls around he’s a shell of a man in comparison.
True. He changed so much, not only physically 🥺
I never thought I'd be so invested in Viktor because of his voice, and I don't even play the guy in LoL.
[Spoiler:] I love Viktor´s playfulness so much! When he kept Jayce from jumping to death the first thing he does is teasing him about being egotistical which makes Jayce angry, but also snaps him right out of his fatalistic despair. Later in the last episode after Jayce repays the favor he just dwells in a bit of self-pity going on about the past when everything used to make sense. And here it is Viktor again who tries to tease him out of his gloomy mood when Jayce remembers an incident of himself messing up and feeling embarrassed to which Viktor only replies: "At least you didn´t throw up." I admire how he is able to be funny just moments after feeling such despair that he almost took his own life. And he is not even doing it to deflect from his feelings, but only to lighten up Jayce´s mood.
2021 and people still think that you need to have a "valid reason" to ship lmao. You really think I care if Jayce sees Viktor as a brother/partner, so what, it's fiction, it doesn't affect your life.
Well said!
Fr they arent real people, people get so mad over works of fiction lmao
Yeah but the problem starts to arise when we're discussing lore and the ships are brought out as fact
@@spunkysamuel oh gee i wonder how garen x katarina came to be to the point riot wanted to make a movie out of it
@@juniemunie2931 Citation needed
kinda ironic of heimerdinger to despise magic while he himself is a creature of magic..
He didnt exaclty despise magic he just dont want people messing with it cause is really dangerous as the rune war done a lot of damage to the world
Well Yordoles are similar to Ionian they reach harmony with magic so they know how to used it without draging other people.
he dont despise it, he fears how easily it corrupts all species when feeling its power
That scene of them hovering together in Heimerdinger’a lab is just… woo! Beautiful! Life-changing!
In the show, VI and Jinx kind of took the spotlight, but I absolutely love the way they shaped Viktor - ambitious, enthusiast but also depressingly weak, no wonder his future prospects are machine oriented - flesh grows weak, robotics don't
no liver, replaced by tech, no heart, replaced by tech, no red cells, replaced by tech, no brain, replaced by tech. No soul, replaced by tech.
Unless you throw sand at it
watching this to cope with act 2💔
I could not have guessed this outcome.
If you read the lore, viktor and jayce were never friends but more like a 2 mad scientists with different ways of doing things are helping each other for their own gain and their inventions.
Lore of League has bewn changed multiple times already, its gonna change again
By the LoL lore, Jayce is also supose to be a white man with blue eyes and working for the Giopara family, the patreons who give him the crystals in first place. But Arcane is not going to follow the LoL lore.
I love that there's not 'actual' lore since every game (LoL, LoR, Wild Rifth, etc) are taking different aproachs to the characters. Is like a "chose your own history, enjoy the multiverse" 😎
@@estrellaescobar5723 LoR is actually canon, and introduced many new characters from piltover and zaun
@@ian_cris I think every game has is own lore. Yeah, they are inspired in the same universe, but sometime there's contradictions in the comics/short storys of LoL and the cards in LoR. LoR's lore is good as compliment and expansion of the universe, but didn't replace the actual lore of LoL.
@@estrellaescobar5723 The lore of LoR is the most recent and expanded in many ways, it makes sense Arcane takes a lot of this game to tell the rest, also very presumably Arcane is the new canon, either because of its popularity in addition to how much Riot is connecting the plots and character relationships, which is probably Riot's new direction in lore. It wouldn't be strange for LoL to upgrade his lore to suit Arcane
Viktor made a gay joke for his cover story I love this man
watching this rn makes me feel... 😭😭😭
4:13 oh my god... the gear.... 🥹
RIGHT?!
has Viktor been holding onto it this whole time?
“When you’re going to change the world, don’t ask for permission.”
Such a great quote victor is best boi
I just finished the show and the first scene in this video punched me in the gut. Victor looks so healthy, his limp is barely even noticeable. His body failed him so quickly
Viktors impressions are always so strong. His accent is amazing
I just think it’s a bit odd how they made Jayce say “he’s like a brother to me.” They’ve clearly seen all the jayvik shippers (which have existed long before arcane was a thing, by the way) If they really didn’t want to make them an actual mlm couple, they could’ve still gone through with the show with Jayce having never said that line. Like damn, Vik got brotherzoned so hard. LoL already has two wlw couples (Diana/Leona and Caitlyn/Vi), meanwhile a whole ass Twisted Fate and Graves exists and they were going to be husbands but that idea was shut down. Why is Riot so allergic to mlm couples, come on. First TF and Graves, now Jayvik..
I honestly think this show has been in production so long they had no idea about jayvik being a thing since it wasn't really 'big' before this at all... but they also seem to not know any other word to describe two men who are close to each other lmao they brotherzone m/m ships a lot
@@cokecan6169 ok name me one canon riot m/m ship vs canon m/m friendships
yeah that's what I thought
The fact that the sx scene overlayed with viktor dying, they knew what they were doing
@@cokecan6169 I already mentioned in my comment that Diana/Leona are another wlw ship, they were censored before, until Riot finally made them canon recently. Plus, Neeko is also a confirmed lesbian character. Not to mention that not every relationship is sexual?? Funny how you say “why does everything have to be sexual” when a whole ass straight sex scene is playing while Viktor is struggling to live lmao, but go off I guess.
“It’s annoying when people ship any two male characters resembling friendship.” Okay but you could say the same about literally anything, people do the exact same thing with female and male characters. Literally look at Jayce and Caitlyn, they have a big age difference and an almost sibling dynamic, but people still ship them because according to them, “they are obviously flirting” and “you don’t look at a sibling like that.”
See, here’s the thing, I don’t mind Jayce and Viktor not being canon, but what I do mind is the fact that they instantly shut down the shippers by saying they have a “brotherly” relationship. Like man, now it just feels weird. They didn’t even hit us with the “and historians said they were good friends”, Viktor just immediately got brotherzoned lmaoooo.
@@cokecan6169 I agree to an extent but that’s just people being afraid of being perceived as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, which in turn is an unwitting display of their underlying homophobic tendencies. (before you say anything about homophobia, reminder that gay people can be homophobic too) As the LGBTQ+ community begins to grow more accepted in our society, those fears will go away. It’s also a result of people being insecure of their sexualities, homophobes exist and the fear of judgement is what causes those problems. So, not to be redundant but that’s why I believe that things will change as people become more accepting. Normalizing those types of relationships will improve the state of society for most people. I hope you realize that the LGBTQ+ community needs those, as you call them, “cringe” relationships, they’ve had literally nothing which is why this is the most basic thing that can be done for them. A lot of people create gay characters just for the clout and money, it’s unfortunate and disgusting that they’re using a minority for their own gain, but it at the very least helps us begin the process of normalizing those relationships. Anyways, as much of an interesting conversation this was, I don’t like making long RUclips threads so this will be my last reply. Thank you good day.
he single handedly became my favourite character, tugged at my heart strings too much ngl
0:48 Sorry but all I can think of is:
“I saved your life”
“You didn’t save my life, you ruined my death! That’s what you did”
Mel: _"this is my boyfriend Jayce, and this is his boyfriend Viktor."_
I have never been this attached to a gay ship in my whole life
After S2 EP 6, this hits even harder.
okay but the absolute tragedy of viktor, our baby, our beloved, our spicy little pepperoni, our boy, being gay and desperately in love with a straight man ?? and viktor is slowly dying and they both know it, and he's struggling to complete his life's work with jayce but he can see jayce drifting away from him, being stained by flawed piltovan morals and logic ??? and the dual pain of heartbreak and jayce's betrayal to their original idea of improving life and helping the undercity ???????????? *cries*
You realize bisexuality is a thing, right? You're going to be ruined by S2.
I just watched the Act 2... Didn't remember that's how they used to be
It hurts
If they did ever make a scene where they both confessed their love or smth, i would imagine Viktor would say some cheesy shit like "I've never been able to walk normally, but you *literally* made me fly Jayce"
2:10 WTF IS EVEN THAT BOY YOU CAN'T BE THAT CUTEEEEEEEE HELPPPPPPP 😭😭😭
I just now noticed in the scene Viktor is taking Jayce’s book, Heimerdinger is saying “Magic is far too dangerous in the wrong hands.”
"Wait a minute, this isn't my bedroom."
HAHAHAHHA I loved it🤣🤣💖
Guys I want them to be together so bad it’s not fair LMAO
1:04 I'M IN LOVE WITH THE "eh, a little agotistical, don't you think?"
"OUR hextech dream"
*communist music starts playing*
2:08 viktor has the most beautiful side profile and no one can change my mind
"I don't even know your name"
"GLORIOUS EVOLUTION"
gotta love how viktor's first excuse was that he was sneaking a boy into his "room"
I've been playing LoL for 8 years, and I never realized Viktor has an accent lmao.
In my defense, I'm Eastern-European, so Russian accents just sound like normal English to me.
When Viktor says "I don't know how to do that sir" to Heimer it sounds like the Indian guy from the vine "help me I am under da water oooh"
Viktor: "It's in heimerdinger's lab" *summons keys*
Jayce: *immediate panic*
ok but where the hell did the keys even come from
Watching this after season 2, act 1's release: 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Yeah, I am here. 🥲😩
STOP im heartbroken
When I first saw Viktor I thought he was gonna either be the one to steal the research or be the jealous colleague that turns evil
I am sooooo f*cking glad I was wrong, but know I just wanna medical help, all for the sake of GLORIOUS EVOLUTION
we all gotta agree viktor is of cinnamon boy and we want to protect him.
This didn’t aged well😭 Jesus Christ💔
No it did not…
Viktor Christ
I’m obsessed with his voice and I don’t know why.
how you feeling after their breakup LMFAO
It makes me so sad that these two friends, best friends,brothers, (probably not) lovers
but STILL they were close...knowing what happened to Viktor and Jayce in the future makes me so sad :(
THE AMOUNT OF GENDER VIKTOR HAS
"Will you please stop hovering?"
"I'm not sure how to do that, sir :D"
this hurts to watch today
Viktor looks so healthy in the act 1 :,)
I always got the impression from the way Viktor looks at Jayce and how he looks at Mel that he had some kind of stronger feelings for Jayce. I definitely also feel like Jayce doesn't have the same thoughts, his eyes only see Mel. Its kinda sad 😢
I still can't believe they stopped both of each other from *trigger warning* killing themselves.
I just realized that Jayce said “am I interrupting” just like Viktor did when he gonna jump
Me before watching Arcane: I'll probably like that "Jayce" the most
Me after watching Arcane: ...I'm in love with an absolut crazy maniac of a girl with trauma and an unbelivable cutie that will probably die soon
Edit: 3:46 oh and his face made me go crazy for him, just saying
Oh, he won't die
@@missilluminati3389 Wait really?! AHHH YESSS

The GLORIOUS EVOLUTION guy couldn't look any more glorious here.
He looks and sounds so gentle aaaaaahhhhh
Victor is handsome and pretty at the same time
Get you a man who speaks his name so tenderly to you XD
i honestly don't think victor is falling for jayce, but then agian it could just be because I am deeply in love with him.
For some reason, in my head, I find Viktors accent is a mix of a russian and an owl who has the parrots ability to speak
Me, after s2:
Haha, well lol.
Not the fact they both saved each other from jumping out a building-
I am now officially head over heels to Victor and no one's going to stop me otherwise
Viktor turning himself into a cyborg
The arcane fandom: WE MUST PROTECT HIM AT ALL COST
I actually want to protect The Machine Herald too
Bro helped a kid to scare his bullies that's SO wholesome
Also he programmed the hexclaw to have humor. LMAO, u can see an emote in game of the Hexclaw mocking him by touching his shoulder distracting him
He's just a silly goofy drama queen really
