I love old men

the russian text in this drawing is a rough translation of this portion arkady says. i'm in no way someone who speaks russian, so if there are any apparent mistakes/mistranslations. we dont talk abt it, glances around

i feel like the relationship between arkady and victor is something that was too quickly overlooked and underutilized after the fact. both have unfortunately fallen victim to the applaudably lazy “evil child” trope at least once, and are undeniably evil outcasts.

they are not exactly romantic, something between sexual and unbreakable. i imagine they're both arospec, victor futher having his apprehensions to a romance due to his previous roster of lovers. these two, however, are two broken pieces of a whole person that have been worn over time. in the darkness of marvel's box of character scraps, they have and found each other. i love them. their history with each other and outside of each other leading to a camaraderie is powerful and beautiful. two manufactured monsters that can find comfort in knowing that, yes, they DO understand each other.

weapon x as a whole share this general seniment, arkady and victor just having something a bit stronger. the team as a whole just isn't utilized enough to me, i need every ounce of information i can gather. i need every interaction, every word passed and feeling shared. i don't know, i read comics and feel like there's still not enough; not enough about their organization, not enough about their relationships on a deeper level. maybe it's just something insatiable for me, but i feel like my frustration is justified. they're all just my favorites ig, shrug
