For several years, Viktor’s leg caught my eye—specifically, I was searching for an official diagnosis and struggling to find something that fit him. After years of speculating, I believe I've found his condition's proper diagnosis and name.
What exactly is femoral anteversion? It is a condition in which the femur rotates, causing the knees and feet to face inward rather than forward. This can impact one or both legs. This condition usually resolves on its own, but more severe cases require medical intervention such as leg braces, therapy, and surgery in more extreme instances—however, this condition is treatable.
This condition impacts children, typically the result of trauma, fetal development, or genetics. Viktor was likely born with this, which would propose that he’s either genetically predisposed to it or the result of a tough pregnancy.
This small scene is an excellent example. It’s only several seconds long, but here we can see that his leg is rotated inward, and he corrects it to face forward—which pains him as he visibly winces—all while Jayce speaks.
It’s noticeable when he’s a kid. You can see how his leg twists and faces inward and how his foot catches on the heel of his other foot, which causes him to trip. In episode 8, while he runs on the dock, he almost trips from this issue again before catching himself and sprinting. Viktor also has an in-toe gait; his step curves as he walks, while his other leg does not.
His leg brace, which we see in Act 2, serves one primary purpose: to force the leg to rotate and face the proper direction. However, at this stage, his condition has been left untreated for so long that it is progressing and showing a drastic impact on his entire body that the leg brace will not fix. It also makes mobility even more challenging for him, with difficulty bending and extending his leg.
This condition can throw the entire body out of whack if left untreated. It can cause pelvic issues, osteoarthritis, spinal decompensation, labral and chondral damage, hamstring-originated tendinopathy, and even weakening of the abdominal muscles, as well as a wide range of spinal problems. The feet, hips, and back are significant body parts that work together; if one is bad, the rest will suffer.
Viktor would require a femoral derotation osteotomy; however, given the severity of his condition and how other parts of his body are now significantly impacted--such as his pelvis and spine, we now have more complications on our hands and that's not even touching on his unnamed lung disease.
There's still so much I could discuss here, and perhaps later, after work; I have a handful of notes I've taken about this and how it all just ties together for Viktor, and honestly, it has been really fun to look at and analyze.
Being a female character in literally any media sounds so fucking exhausting, heaven forbid a woman does anything I guess/hj.
On a serious note I don't like the way some of you guys talk about Earth. Plain simple, I just don't. I think some of you are being very harsh on her specifically. One of the very few female characters in a male dominated space and she gets so much shit just for existing and being herself.
This also applies if you were to say "I don't dislike her because she's a woman, I dislike her because of [x thing]."
Guess what, Moon probably did that too. Sun probably did that too. Lunar probably did that too. Eclipse most definitely did that, along with Bloodmoon, etc. All these characters are flawed, dude. They all do things we're not always gonna agree with.
"Yeah but a lot of people like her so much-"
What's wrong with that? Everyone likes every other character. Because she's taking up too much spotlight or something?? She's one of the main fucking characters. Why can't people just fucking like her, why does she have to make room for the already male dominated space. Why can't a female character fucking breathe for a second.
If you think I'm not seeing all the facts or reasonings feel free to share your opinions or thoughts on the matter but I do feel this is something that needs to be pointed out.

Hey tumblr who the fuck do you think I am ???????
I have a suspicion that the whole Sun drinking wine thing in the show was to cause amusement at the idea that he was now the mom with cats relaxing in a nice house with a good book and a glass of wine in him hands. But viewers took it so badly (Moon didn't help either, but he already has a long history of misinterpreting and underestimating his siblings, especially Sun) that he became something that even had to be talked about in therapy sessions. Ugh I understand that the topic of alcohol may not be something that many want to see but you have to learn to differentiate between a joke on a channel FOR CHILDREN/TEENS and something really serious. Relax dudes.

Selfie Time! Say cheese.
Fun fact: Lunar stood on a stool to be taller. (Despite him being able to change sizes)
This was so much fun to draw and I'm definitely getting better at shading.
I missed drawing so much, I'm currently trying to balance school, work and life and gee I hate it. But I finally finished it and I'm sure proud at this.
Eh, host made this a while back. So welcome to our hellish, and empty, tumblr page. Mainly used for liking stuff or talking to people, but we might post stuff. This blog may end up becoming 18+ only but we aren’t sure yet. Have a lovely day and stay safe, dewdrops :)
