whendoesthekillingstart replied to your post “[ I love how Viktor’s new lore is throwing shade at every single “Evil...”

(There goes what initially made him interesting: A man who had a dream to help humanity gone too far and off the deep end)

[ I honestly don’t know how experimenting on people against their will made Viktor interesting in any way, shape or form, or how him being a genuinely good person stops his highly flawed ideology to backfire on him and do more harm than good in the end, which is exactly what his previous lore implied. Also he still has the Villain Aesthetics so honestly we didn’t lose we only gained. ]

[ I love how Viktor’s new lore is throwing shade at every single “Evil Viktor” head canon in existence

Viktor is cruel and mean? - buried Viktor would order people killed or kill them himself? - don’t know her Viktor hates humans and doesn’t care about them? - dead and gone Viktor forces augmentation and human experimentation? - cancelled ]

[[ Forewarning before you read below the cut: there is mention of severe depression and self harm, but also recovery later on. Please do not read if you don’t like said topics, as I understand it can be very sensitive for people. It is just some ping-ponging observation and theory stuff between me and @themachineherald that i am particularly proud of. ]]

i am borderline in fucking tears talking about viktor stuff with @themachineherald i want to fucking write a massive story about this so badly right now im probably going to post the convo anyway and cry

[themachineherald]

[ This is the most emotional I’ve been about a fictional character in years, please post the convo cause I am tearing up every now and then and we just love our son okay ]

[themachineherald]

us before: viktor is a good person but he is cold and distant and detached and has a hard time communicating with people

us now: viktor is the only good person in piltover and zaun, viktor helps everyone and they all love him, viktor doesnt have acolytes, he has friends, viktor is the hero we dont deserve but desperately need

The infamous, murderous, mad machine overlord. Not really. Think again.

[themachineherald]

[ hey can someone pls come and pick vik-mun up from the floor? ]

[themachineherald]

[ Since I was waiting for the lore to be released, I can finally return to this blog. And honestly there isn’t much I have to re-write because my portrayal and characterization based on this new lore is still very much canon. I will have to change the official lore on my blog and the details in the backstory, maybe the augments and write something around that, but overall, nothing will change in how I write Viktor cause hey they just made us canon babes! ]

[themachineherald]

[ When you spend five years loving a character and caring so much about writing and flashing him out and after five years all of that pays off and I don’t think I could be happier, Viktor deserved this and every single person that loves and writes him deserved this too. ]

@communistofzaun @steel-fixes-all @themachineherald @the-glorious-evolution-fanart  IS IT ALL YOU HOPED FOR? IT’S ALL I HOPED FOR. IT’S BEAUTIFUL.

[themachineherald]

IT IS EVERYTHING I COULD EVER HOPE FOR, THANK YOU RIOT FOR MY LIFE

[themachineherald]

[ 2017 is really a good year, we discover that Viktor is a good person with slightly flawed ideals but a kind heart that is in the right place and an a strong sense for empathy - emotions removed or otherwise ]

[themachineherald]

[ Viktor’s color story sent me from my chair and straight to the floor, where have you been all of my life ]
