Hey!!! I Want To Write More On The Mysterious Benedict Society And I Have A Few Ideas Of My Own, But

I just had a thought. What if after everything and when (hopefully) the Metatron is away, Aziraphale is asked to be the voice of God? BUT he chooses Crowley instead? Just a thought.

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.

Viktor has a rare and severe case of femoral anteversion in his right leg.

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.

I have a proposal: we write the third season.

It sucks that it was canceled, but if WE write it, we can make the sister as quirky/ridiculous as her brothers, add some deeper meanings that we’ve already been talking about, etc. We can share rough drafts and ideas. Obviously we don’t have to, but it’s an idea. Plus, not all the stress would be put on one person to write.

Reblog if you think asexuality is a legitimate sexuality.

I'm trying to prove something.

The reason Vox has a picture of duck Lucifer is because he got the picture off of Charlie’s profile picture of him on her phone.

Oh wait, didn’t he technically already do this? In the second episode he literally gets knocked out with a taser and then was like “it’s fine, everything is completely fine. I wasn’t almost just kidnapped!” 😑.

Why do I get the feeling that Mr. Benedict would be that one character to get stabbed but never say anything about it. Like, he would probably try to handle it himself if it wasn’t life threatening. Until he passes out that is. (A certain tall person realizing beforehand and making sure he’s ok.)

I can’t stop thinking about this. What if Satine lived? Like, would Obi wan have stayed with her? Would Anakin have left the order too if Obi Wan did? What would happen to Maul? Would Anakin still go to the dark side? If Padme still died and Anakin still became Darth Vader, would that mean Obi Wan and Satine would have taken care of Luke? What would happen to Ashoka?

I’ve gone down a rabbit hole I don’t think I’m getting out of any time soon.
