Zaunite Viktor with baby Rio •  from 'this devotion may contain side-effects'

this is my first arcane fanart ever, so i'm a bit nervous ;--; I tried hard to reference Viktor's features while staying in this style but not sure if it worked. But i'm still proud of it!! This is Viktor around 17. in the fic, he was adopted by Vander and Silco. No guesses who dressed him here :3 heuehue.

fic summary below the cut! (Or jump to chapter 6!)

It really is. Napoleon x Iskander just feels like muscled bara dude on bara dude. Kinda like a Sean C*dy video. Just white muscled dudes fucking with zero chemistry.

Like when I first stumbled to it, I thought there was a legit history between them so I searched them up only to find out there is only one interaction as you mentioned and it is actually one-sided. And recently, I just found out there was one fanart made by the artist. But I don’t see how a possibly platonic drinking session could lead to NapoIska being one of the biggest ships in the bara community and for it to warrant so many fanart that it floods my TL sometimes even when I dont actively follow NapoIska accounts or I have them muted. And like you said, Iskander admires Achilles but like it’s obvious that is platonic admiration.

And it leaves a bitter taste on my mouth too because WaverRider have a ton of interactions, and it’s not subtext that they love each other. But this ship does not get the same reception in the Bara community unlike NapoIska and it’s probably because Waver does not look like the conventionally bara af character.
