but you were never broken, viktor. 💔 🩹

It matches the aesthetic of the show super well with the belts and golden gears and stripes.

It matches Viktor's character design with the colours of the shirt being the maroons and greys of his academy uniform, and the overall silhouette being similar.

It matches zaun specifically by having the outfit clearly be handsewn or customised from old clothes, with visible repairs. As well as gender non-conforming presentation with the half-skirt and the longer hair framing his face, shown to be more accepted in Zaun.

It also tells a story about Viktor specifically in this AU, like how his open shirt suggests confidence in his appearance, but the way the half skirt covers his bad leg suggests insecurity.

My headcanon for this is:

Vik got involved with some local mafia business and has a connection with Silco so I picked this palette based on that. In my brainrot if Vik doesn’t need to blend in the social norms of Piltover, he will have a gothic sense of style, highlighting the prettiest part of his body.

When he was 25, he was a lithe little thing flaunting his cute face and small little waist, wearing eyeliners, since makeup is more common in Zaunite men. He was using a half skirt covering up his bad leg. But later his health is failing and he’s covering his skin more and more.

Welp I just couldn't resist! Love them, love hands sooo this is the natural progression of events xD It was really fun to make! Made in procreate
