If it ain’t the truth 💀💀💀

The number one funniest example of people inventing bullshit reasons ships they don't like are "problematic" that I've ever seen was people calling Brienne of Tarth and Jaime Lannister "like siblings".

Fam.

Have you forgotten the number one most notable trait about Jaime Lannister.

Arcane Episode 6, 26:00

This scene is phenomenal for many, many reasons. Personally, I really like that Caitlyn breaks their contact rather than initiating more at this moment. Here’s why:

To start, it looks like Caitlyn is leading Vi in a way, as their breathing syncs up and they hold eye contact for several moments. Caitlyn is the one to break away first, which is very important. She’s a steady, secure presence but she’s not forceful. Her timing is crucial in this scene, and choosing to step away from Vi will set a precedent for their relationship.

If Vi hadn’t been in excruciating pain, disoriented, etc., she wouldn’t have welcomed Caitlyn to be that close. It’s vital that (I assume) Caitlyn realizes this because right before and right after Caitlyn gave Vi the shimmer, Vi wasn’t in a state to make a judgment about Caitlyn’s proximity. Earlier in the episode, though, Vi pushes away Caitlyn’s hand when she tries to wipe her face, and this is something to be taken into account for Caitlyn.

It’s not that Caitlyn made the incorrect choice, not at all. Her caring nature and her desire to help shine through at this moment. But, timing is crucial so as not to trap Vi or suffocate her. If Caitlyn had held that eye contact longer or tried to add further physical contact, things would’ve gone differently.

I don’t think Vi completely comprehended the situation, including Caitlyn’s closeness, right after she screams in pain and Caitlyn eases her back to laying down. She had just hallucinated and seen her mother prior to ingesting the shimmer and I imagine her grasp on reality wasn’t fully intact until Caitlyn already stood up and walked away. She pauses once Caitlyn stands up, making it seem like her brain is still catching up.

So, I do think Caitlyn has an understanding that Vi wouldn’t have willingly put herself in that kind of situation for a prolonged period of time. Caitlyn doesn’t push it. Having a choice (in both this situation and outside of it) is something that Vi needs. Her lack of autonomy in Stillwater shouldn’t be taken lightly and forcefulness will not be at all productive in her relationships in the present and future. (Same thing for the oil and water scene. Caitlyn letting Vi walk away is sad, yes, but very, very necessary)

This was obviously a very vulnerable moment for Vi and if Caitlyn had held that eye contact, initiated further physical contact, or otherwise added pressure, a boundary would’ve been crossed. Over time and in the course of their relationship, closeness and touch will further develop (as we’ve already seen, like in the bed scene prior to the council meeting). But, after having tragically negative associations with physical contact for so long, it’s realistic that the progression of trust and vulnerability is gradual for Vi, and not without setbacks. Caitlyn’s intuition, patience, and respect for what Vi needs, even if she hasn’t expressed it verbally, are crucial in this progression.

When Sadistik said “I'm masochistic when I love you till my heart bleeds I'll love you till I break when I'm running from your sharp teeth”

It was December 24th when my chest caved in and my everything called to say, "Let's stay friends"

Well, not quite, she used me beautifully and with that empty tone she can sing my eulogy

And now I feel like I'm ugly once again her excuses start to fill my empty stomach to the brim

The room starts to spin and I cry till I dry-heave I am a dying piece of her past, just another band-aid, she needs to relax until she justifies my pain with a reason that lacks

See, I just wanted her to see herself like I do beautiful but she speaks her lies in haiku

So resurrect me, teach me where to go from here and I will script to melody with meanings that are so sincere

Her frozen tears are streaming down the sculpted ice giving me the coldest bite every time I hold it tight

I'm masochistic when I love you till my heart bleeds I'll love you till I break when I'm running from your sharp teeth

I'm out of breath as I hang onto the broken glass picking up the pieces being strangled by a photograph

And she's a black rose trapped in cracked roads that can't grow but still I'm lost in her splendor and I'm an idiot minus the savant when I'm trying to move on but choose not to remember

I spent the midnight admiring your crooked edges juggling with history and times that we mistook as head trips

And look for exits from green eyes that haunt me at these times of wanting to idolize your good intentions

It's not a friendship, it's a see-saw torment I'm down on all fours for it and she's all for it, I used to find a little piece of solace in your breathing pattern fair in war and love but you cautious when you reached the latter

Weren't you? Love, do you believe in angels? Or just an instability and using me to scapegoat I held your flaws and the beauty that you mangled and I told you that I loved them just so that you could see your halo

And when she lies I'm a casualty of that and when she said she loved him I felt my galaxy collapse, I'm dancing to the heartbreak, while echoes make a point of it, I've never felt like this

I think about you in these nightmares and daydreams holding onto memories in times where we'd make peace

But you're a pantomime, witch-hunt for truth you have so many faces tell me which one is you

And you can be with him or anybody else, but they will never love you the way that this somebody felt, but now it's over 'cause he finally broke the surface

I just want to say goodbye and that I really hope it's worth it
