Anyway, S1E3 17:48 I love how peaceful Viktor becomes in the windy chaos of the unstable crystal. He seems buoyed by a rock-steady inner faith, his uncertainties falling away. Fitting, as when the people of the Undercity cried out for salvation, their goddess brought the wind.

Viktor is so curious, gentle, and caring when he's trying to heal Vander, and it makes my heart ache. This is who he is at his core. I see these images, and I hear, "Scientists seek discoveries. Ways to make the world a better place." And CL thinks this feels wrong, because it's not REAL?

S1E3 17:29 I love this sweet, silly man and his adorably cringey sense of humor. This is the side of himself he doesn't let just anyone see--only the few in whom he places his trust. This is who Viktor is at his core, when he's not fighting for his life.

S1E3 17:14 God, Viktor in profile. An absolute Jack Skellington of a man. How is this even legal. It will inspire degeneracy in the laborers.

Aww, I'd forgotten about this forehead touch!

Viktor realizing he's not gonna get laid tonight and toddling off into the shadows like a dejected penguin will always be cinema to me.

S1E3 "We should be the ones to lead it! Piltover!"
I know she's a government official, but it still makes me happy that Jayce unquestioningly thinks of Mel as representing Piltover. Zero hesitations about her loyalty despite her Noxian upbringing. I wonder if his trust helped sway her decision.

S1E3 13:35 I'm Ace, and I have very complicated and frustrated feelings toward CL's "Ace Viktor" r̶e̶t̶c̶o̶n̶ notion, but I will say that Making Jokes About Sex Your Allosexual Friends Would Never Dare To Make" is stellar Ace representation. This is my culture. I feel seen.

1. Was Mel just... waiting outside Heimerdinger's office? Is there any explanation for this?
2. I love that it's canon that Viktor responds to sudden light by hissing like a startled cat.
3. Is this why Jayce was shielding his eyes in the S2 trailer?

S1E3 13:21 It's funny (and also sad) to have to imagine Viktor hunching down like this every time he needs to lock up (or open things up) for Heimerdinger.
Also, does he have to take the keys off the ring to open the door each time? That contraption is absurd.

"I'll show you what you really are," and his voice has that weird, tight quality like he's holding back tears.
Silco. Babe. You'll meet other guys.

S1E3 10:25 Vander and Silco's exchange of "brother" in very different tones is so much more rich when you know Silco is a spiteful, jilted gay.

S1E3 8:55 God, bitty Ekko. His EYES as he stared at Vi, unable to speak his devastation and his shock. Baby. I'm your mom now. It's okay. I love you. You'll be okay. Angel.

S1E3 8:32 I know in my heart there was a draft where Jayce kept his hand on Viktor's shoulder through the end of the shot. Cowards. #jayvik

In the "Our Hextech Dream," at the speed and natural way Jayce approaches Viktor, it feels for a split second like Jayce is going to slide an arm across Viktor's back with a very subtext-laden energy and I'm gonna spend the next few minutes just sitting with that image.

8:06 The delivery on "Yeah, locked away in Heimerdinger's lab" sounds to me like he's in on the joke the whole time. Like he's making the suggestion AFTER realizing he has access. I think the aired version makes Viktor look less intelligent. I wish they'd cut V's line entirely--only physical comedy.

S1E3 7:37 And after a few hours in Jayce's company, Viktor is so fuckin' SOFT. He'd never let the public see his posture and facial expressions. All of that artifice is gone. The defenses are down. The jayvik sets in fast. This boy is CRUSHING.

S1E3 0:40 God, I'd forgotten how good Silco's "drowning" soliloquy is. I love this fucking show. Such a delicious character. Can we kill Vander again?
