Zaunite Viktor with baby Rio • from 'this devotion may contain side-effects' [ao3]
this is my first arcane fanart ever, so i'm a bit nervous ;--; I tried hard to reference Viktor's features while staying in this style but not sure if it worked. But i'm still proud of it!! This is Viktor around 17. in the fic, he was adopted by Vander and Silco. No guesses who dressed him here :3 heuehue.
fic summary below the cut!
After the doctor hurts Rio, a freshly-orphaned Viktor is taken in at The Last Drop. Years later, there’s a riot on the bridge. When Silco doesn’t return, Viktor sets out to find him — only to witness one father trying to drown the other.
In which child-Viktor refuses to abandon Silco; an act of devotion that changes the trajectory of Zaun’s uprising. While Vander makes deals with the Enforcers, Silco builds an empire in the dark. Someone has to fund his son’s endless charity work. And send the kids to school. And cure Grey Lung in ten years. Being a single-parent of revolution is hard.
There’s siblings-of-divorce, waverider eggs, volatile crystals…and a Piltie wandering around the Lanes looking for blue gems. Viktor was impressed it took this long for the man to get mugged.
Luckily for Jayce, Viktor’s very good with knives.
Now that youre on tumblr i can finally tell you this. Your Zhongli art is the most breathtaking thing ive seen. I fall in love with his ethereal beauty. The vibrant gold and orange hues thats charasteristic of Zhongli which also happens to be my favourite colours. There’s just something about it,,,he looks every bit the otherwordly god he is, but at the same time he’s so utterly human……..ough. HOW DO UU CONVEY THIS VIA ART WHETEBDND
I’m absolutely going to cry … omg … I am so honored and happy that you like my Zhongli, he is one of my FAVORITE genshin characters and such a pleasure to draw! I always aim to capture his energy, HES such a hard to convey character because he is so larger than life! This message made me so happy, thank you!
Here’s an exclusive cover reveal of Beast At Every Threshold, which will be out with Arsenal Pulp Press in March 2022!! A huge THANK YOU to @litarnes​ for the stunning cover!
An unflinching shapeshifter, Beast at Every Threshold dances between familial hauntings and cultural histories, intimate hungers and broader griefs. Memories become malleable, pop culture provides a backdrop to glittery queer love, and folklore speaks back as a radical tool of survival. With unapologetic precision, Natalie Wee unravels constructs of “otherness” and names language our most familiar weapon, illuminating the intersections of queerness, diaspora, and loss with obsessive, inexhaustible ferocity—and in resurrecting the self rendered a site of violence, makes visible the “Beast at Every Threshold.”
Ft the Korrasami poems and other diasporic/queer work about Phoebe Bridgers, Rina Sawayama, Chihiro from Spirited Away, Wei Ying from The Untamed, and the meme of Patrick Starr shovelling dirt in his mouth, I’m so excited for you to read this collection about existing when one’s existence is rendered unbearable.
Beast At Every Threshold is available for preorder now.
