Been doin some quick Arcane screenshot studies! I plan on doing a lot more, and Iet's be real, most of these are all gonna be Viktor related haha
Sigh.
I’m going to end up buying those ugly Pop Mart figures, aren’t I?
Sketchy from Arcane rewatch, and all I've had energy for.
ch.2 wip stuff. maybe don’t process your grief by mending/making clothes that remind you of the other version of the same guy who is now dead. the actual guy wearing them may not love it. a mutual haircut experience ends badly. mysterious fading blanket pattern as an omen. three week prophetic fever dream. time travel consequences. fun 👍
You know how it is widely recognized that when Jayce is in the AU, his journey there mirrors Viktors? The damage to his leg, starving and having to climb his way from the bottom to the top of piltover in a broken body?
Well I just realised that Viktors time in the commune sort of mirrors Jayces time as a councilor. Not exactly of course but I think it is interesting how Jayce gains power in S1, while Viktor loses his, but then it is reversed in S2 with Jayce losing everything and Viktor becoming powerful (physically and as the leader of the commune).
So just like Jayce becomes the man of progress, because it is what Piltover needs, Viktor becomes a healer, because it's what the Undercity needs.
I also like how Salos presence kind of emphasizes this transfer of power - switching from the council with Jayce in S1 to being in the commune with Viktor in S2.
So yes, you could say they are two "sides" of the same coin - but I think it's more like they are both each side of that coin, at different times.
(There is also something to be said about Skys presence in S2, when you look at it from this lense, but I have not fully formed my thoughts regarding this yet and will save it for another post)
