Edit: can you spot the bisexual pride 'flag' here? It's not a physical flag, so good luck!

Long time no see ;3; Thanks to everyone whose been commenting on my work <3 I'm back from vacation and I'll be responding shortly~

For the task #4: Weakness

----

I drew the most abstract looking thing ever so here's an explanation:

Potion bottles and medical equipment:
Viktor has a weak constitution and wouldn't do well in a physical altercation. The bruises and cuts also imply his frail physical state

Face powder, bloodletting knife, leech:

I based Viktor's design on 19th century (mainly female) beauty standards. He feels a lot of mental and emotional pressure from his family to fit in with the aristocrats in society since they were not noble born. Maintaining these brutal and harmful beauty standards cause Viktor loads of undue stress. Although I've deemed his deathly pallor as his natural skin tone for aesthetic, his ivory skin is based off the idea that beauty was pale. Pale skin was highly coveted and a sign of nobility back then. To attain it, Victorians would resort to all sorts of dangerous methods; arsenic baths, lead face powders, and even bloodletting. Looking sick and frail was very much 'in' so one would try and make their waist cinched, eyes big and watery, and skin pale and translucent. Although he's male, I kept these ideas in mind whilst designing Viktor.

Foods:

As much as Viktor enjoys food, he's garbage at taking care of himself. He's thinner than he should be for someone of his height and that's because he doesn't take the time to ingest proper nutrition. He throws himself into his work head first without much care for himself. As a result, he always seems tired, pale, and thin. But hey, at least he's fashionable.

Rapier and HP symbols:

My boy as I mentioned is rubbish in physical altercation. His melee weapons exist for emergencies.

Bats and animals:

He loves animals; and he's a kind boy when they're involved. Which means that kindness can be exploited by those who wish to sway his favor. Want the necromancer's help? Mention some poor animal is being threatened by the situation; you'll tug his heart strings and garner his favor.

Wine:

As I've mentioned before, Viktor cannot handle his alcohol at all. He'll make a fool of himself for sure if you let him get tipsy.

Hearts:

Viktor, as cheerful as he is, is easily wounded emotionally. His heart is damaged from years of let-downs by human beings: His parent's high expectations, society viewing him as a curiosity and show pony, and the general looks of judgment high society in general gives low-born people like him. People hurt him; people broke his heart and let him down. Animals have never let him down as people have.
