Ask Viktor

@askviktor

Ph.D., Co-Inventor of Hextech I have created this blog to encourage the non-scientific community to engage in scientific discourse. At the behest of my partner, I am willing to entertain unrelated queries as well, so long as they are respectfully presented.

Pinned

Welcome! This is 18+ role play blog for Viktor from the first season of Arcane. His blood has merged with the Hexcore, but he has not started experimenting on himself yet.

  • I am 34 years old and do not wish to interact with anyone under 18. I frequently discuss mature topics and, occasionally, write suggestive and explicit content.
  • Repeated sexual harassment or unkindness will result in blocking. I will give one warning before doing so.
  • I am willing to interact with anyone roleplaying any character, original, canon, or otherwise.
  • @thepolyamorywriter helps me with the Czech culture and language from which I draw inspiration for Viktor’s Zaunite roots.
  • I write content with several blogs, including @piltivorcango2hell, @gemstonedumpsterfire, and @the-hexcore. My primary Jayce is @jaycehousetalis and I will assume any questions about Jayce are referring to his rendition. My secondary Jayce is @jayceofprogress. Please consider all storylines as their own unique, separate timelines.
  • I answer questions in the order in which I receive them unless a question is temporally relevant. I often put a lot of time and research into my replies. At the moment, I have at least seven answers scheduled daily, which means that your question will be answered in about a month. I typically have 160 questions in my inbox and 40 answers in my queue at any given time. I apologize for the wait and thank you very much for your patience.

You can listen to Viktor’s personal playlist here and my Viktor-inspired playlist here. You can also find me at @cathartictrash.

Thank you for taking the time to read and interact!

Onyx is pacing back and forth in front of the HexTech lab, muttering to herself. She has been tasked with “spying” on the progress of HexTech, by a suspicious looking young girl she met on the opposite side of the bridge between Piltover and Zaun.

She was on her way down into the Undercity to collect a special type of luminescent paint for one of her projects, but pain in her hips and lower back slowed the process of walking. It was on one of her short breaks she was approached by her.

As Onyx recalled the encounter, she inhaled strongly, nervous as she was, after all she didn't want to cause trouble for Jayce or Viktor, since they have been so kind to her in the past. She did not wish to ruin their relation by any means, but alas she was in need of shimmer - BAD! She didn't need much, a couple of drops was enough to subdue her aches and pains, but she had run out of the previous vile and was desperate!

Onyx gathered herself, and knocked on the lab door before opening it slowly and stepping in silently.

*Fidgets her hands and looks around, spotting Viktor hard at work*

“Uhm, hello? Viktor? Hi… What ehum… What are you working on? And have you seen Jayce? Is he here?”

She steps closer, slowly.

Ah, Onyx. Come in.

Viktor sets down his notes and spins his stool around.

No, Jayce is not here right now. Council business. He may be here later this evening, however. Is there something I can help you with in the meantime?

“I eh, I just wanted to see what you were working on… currently…..”

She fidgets her hands as she walks slowly around the lab, looking over most of the inventions scattered around. She is nervous, and actually not quite sure what she is looking for.

“Sooo, council business eh?”

As much as Onyx needs the shimmer and wants to complete this “job” she is also a terrible liar, and it's oozing out of her nervous demeanour that she has a hidden agenda…..She cracks a crooked smile as she catches Viktors eyes, and she hurries to look away.

“I eh… I just… uhm… what was I supposed to say?”

Viktor tilts his head to the left, brow furrowing. He regards her for a moment.

What is it, Onyx? You seem… more distressed than usual.

He makes his way over to the tea station and puts a pot on boil.

If you require assistance, you need only ask.

Onyx looks embarrassed, tears welling up in her eyes, a sob leaving her throat.

“Viktor im in pain”

She blurts It out without any regards as to how it may make her look.She fidgets her hands again as is a habit of hers.

“My hips, my lower back… Iv, i've been using..”

The words catches in her throat, and she begins to shed tears, she grabs her hair by the roots. She begins to ramle, not sure if to Viktor or herself.

“I've been using 2 drops of shimmer mixed in a glass of water to subdue my pain. I've been doing so since I still lived in Zaun… Im out of my current vile, a girl… she offered to help me get my hands on more, if I just… If I just.. but I cant! Not to you, not to Jayce.. Id rather be in pain….!”

She slowly lowers herself to her knees,  now kneeling on the floor, in the middle of the lab, she feels pathetic.

Viktor turns off the flame immediately, and comes over to Onyx, placing a hand carefully on her shoulder.

Onyx… come, come with me. Sit on the sofa. Tell me everything, and we get this sorted, yes?

You wish to literally absorb my face, don’t you? Wicked thing.

Anonymous asked:

Have you heard of shimmer? It might help with your experiments. You'd see immediate results.

- 🖇

Ah, yes, certainly it would have immediate results, but what of its long-term consequences? Shimmer is illegal in Piltover and certainly I would not dream of breaking the law for experimentation.

Do you think you could think of a life where you had stayed in Zaun?

Avatar

I think of it more often than you might imagine. But, I wonder how long I would have survived in such an atmosphere. The air in the Sumps poisons slowly, and the water poisons faster. But, I would have been amongst my people, would have had at least another year with my parents, and perhaps I could have contributed more on the, eh, “ground floor.”

But, I would not have had access to the education and healthcare of Piltover, the refined tools and pristine laboratories which have allowed me to invent the environmental technology that I have. I would have never met Jayce. I would have never known what it is to be so fully known.

Zaun shaped me. Its cruelty forged my will and its resilience taught me that even rot can harbor growth. Yet, had I stayed… I would not be here today. This I know.

Hello! Sorry to bother you. My name is Audrey and I handle the communication at the Academy. The thing is… Well, I was in charge of sending out valentines for February 14th, but I accidentally forgot about this one. There is only one Viktor in the Academy, so I assume this for you. The sender chose to remain anonymous. Have a good day!

Inscription on valentine: «Hey, Viktor! You probably don't know me, but I just want to let you know that you are a huge inspiration to me! I also like you but... I'm such a coward and I'm afraid to tell you. But I hope I'll get the courage»

My inbox truly has been taxed of late. Several months have passed.

This is… such a kind message. I am romantically taken, but I appreciate the sentiment and hope that you are well, whoever you may be.

Anonymous asked:

do you have any advice from people who suffer with depression and suicidal ideations

Though I am not a physician of the mind, I know intimately the sensation of being fractured, of living in a world that grinds the spirit beneath the weight of expectation, disappointment, and relentless decay.

Depression is not weakness. It is not failure. It is the natural response of a mind carrying more than it was ever meant to bear. I have occasionally felt this weight myself, reoccurring thoughts of my work coming to nothing, my absence being a mercy to those who care about me.

But listen to me: You are not obsolete.

You are not broken beyond repair. The very fact that you feel, that you question, means there is something left in you that resists the void. That is not weakness. That is strength, no matter how small it may feel.

You are not meant to fix this alone. Seek others, not those who claim to have answers, but those who remind you that you are not some machine whose value lies only in output. You are a living being who deserves care.

Progress is a spiral, sometimes moving backwards… non-linear yet continuing upwards. If you feel you cannot continue, please speak to someone who can help… a friend, professional, a voice on the other end of a line. Progress is not achieved alone.

The world is imperfect. But so are all great inventions in their earliest forms. Give yourself the grace to continue existing. There may yet be a future, your future, that will astonish even you.

I am here.

Anonymous asked:

How are things going, research-wise? Any progress to note?

I hope you are well.

I apologize for the lull in my responses. I have been rather preoccupied with my research. I am pleased to say that we have uncovered, through theoretical inquiries and pattern decoding within Hextech matrices, substantial indicators of a previously undocumented sigil. The Inspiration Rune, unlike established hex runes which channel elemental forces or spatial manipulation, appears to influence cognition itself. It is, to the best of my knowledge, the reason why the Hexcore has been so volatile.

I have been working ceaselessly with Jayce and Sky to learn as much as possible about this rune before introducing it to the Hexcore. Initial simulations suggest it reacts not to force or command, but to will, to curiosity, to moments of emotional vulnerability. In essence, this rune may bridge the gap between mind and magic in a way yet unseen.

Since the current Hexcore has absorbed unintended biological matter, attempts to dismantle or otherwise destroy it have proven… unsuccessful. I am hesitant to create another without first disposing of its initial incarnation. Who knows what would happen were the two to interact? Yet, time is of the essence.

In short, we are doing as much as we can on paper before moving forward.

annon that asked if you can eat the hexcore I SEE YOU. what would be the texture. would it be like crunchy? and if yes what kind of crunchy - the ones that break once you press your teeth or the annoying that makes you put effort in the bite?

and if it's gummy would it be the gelatin kind of gummy or the sticky kind? so many questions... so many possibilities....

In all timelines, in all possibilities, only I am allowed to lick the Hexcore.
