the brilliant inventor card reminded me that people really do forget jayce is just as much of a “mad scientist” as viktor. i know the original lore is part of why viktor gets that label, but they're literally both insane
never forget when singed said “…they will despise you. love and legacy are the sacrifices we make for progress,” viktor doesn't ask what it will do to him. he doesn't worry about his reputation. he just says, "jayce will understand." his first thought is jayce. no hesitation.
jayce and viktor lowkey canonically dated during those 7 years in the time skip, and jayce wasn't aware of it and it all happened in viktor's mind but it was still very real and detrimental to viktor's character
unfortunately viktor would love raisins and toss them back by the handful. he'd buy the chocolate or yogurt covered ones if he felt like treating himself.
