A heartbeat fluttered, as Victor Vale opened his eyes, and smiled.
Just finished Vicious and thought I’d do a Victor Vale moodboard <3

Run, thought Victor, and he could see the response in Eli's coiled frame.
Chase me.

victor vale is one of the first (and very very few) characters that make me feel seen. as a biromantic asexual person, to have ve schwab confirm his sexuality as such felt so revelatory, because his approach to attraction and love was so similar to mine that if he were not ace, it might have made me question my own asexuality.
(not fully shake my belief in it, no, but certainly question it.)
personally, victor vale is a character i deeply relate to outside of his sexuality as well, but that was a pretty big factor as to WHY i relate to him so much.
Victor Vale is really important to me as asexual rep.
The only person he ever had a crush on was the girl that fit his specific definitions of perfect. Smart, likeable, nice to him. In order to stay within that “top of the class” role he’d been thrown into, she was a naturally obvious choice.
But she was taken by someone better.
Taken by Eli. Unwaveringly full of a million defensive layers yet still Victor finds common ground, a kindred spirit. In his friendship and eventual obsession with Eli lies something far deeper than simply desire- it’s the corrupting need to understand.
There’s no big reveal about Victors sexuality, it isn’t really discussed. Yet as an ace person, something resonates. Indifference to physical action doesn’t mean a complete lack of feeling. A meaningless action can be rendered priceless for the moments in between. Glances, whispered words, the sensation of touch.
It all comes back to that soul crushing yearning for mutual understanding. To find someone just like him, that’s what Victor wants. Someone to know his faults and his desires, to share in them.
This is an extremely nuanced reading but as someone that struggles to find media representation of my emotional processing, it’s a comfort to see a kindred want expressed. I yearn for more ace rep with individual depth. To love deeply is not always so straightforward.

“sydney, look at me.” he rested his hands on the car roof and leaned in. “no one is going to hurt you. do you know why?” she shook her head, and victor smiled. “because i’ll hurt them first.”

The problem with Eli and Victor's relationship is that they are best friends, ex-best friends, rivals, nemesis , mirrors, narrarive foils, a weird college situationship that neither of them can get over. They haven't seen each other for years and they still think about each other's minds. They can't live with it. They fall into madness when the other is dead. They can't live with the thought of the other being dead as if a part of them was ripped away and burned alive. They are obsessed with the idea they have of the other. They were the only people who completely understood each other in this world and it scared them. They haunt each other even though they are alive in the same room. They could never separate themselves from the idea of ​​what could have been. They are already dead in the same fucking grave.

ELIOT CARDALE | THE VILLAINS SERIES
but what fascinated victor most was the fact that something about eli was decidedly wrong. he was like one of those pictures full of small errors, the kind you could only pick out by searching the image from every angle, and even then, a few always slipped by.

Everytime I see someone say that Vicious is about good v evil I have to wonder if we read the same book. Eli? Good?? Victor? Good??
Imo the hero v villain is a lot closer to critising the blind agreement of people we like, than a who's morally correct question. As the reader, we can recognise that Eli mercilessly killing EOs is bad. And so is the police force allowing him! But that doesn't make Victor 'doesnt try to bring Angie back even though he knows he should, and is driven by revenge' Vale the good person.
Rather than good v evil I'd argue the conflict is religion v science. As it's very much Eli 'I put myself in God's Hand' Ever Vs Victor 'The body is a machine' Vale.

He's a 10 but he wanted to die just so he could test a science theory which btw, wasn't even for his own project.
