I was ABOUT TO SAY

Vi (Arcane) x Male!Reader Headcanons <3

she leaves you for a woman

[countcait]

So not only do you want your "Caitlyn gasses innocents AU" to be canon, you want your "Vi is suicidal AU" to be canon? You're making this pretty bleak, idk.

Someone literally said to me "Vi's not suicidal because she has Caitlyn" Girl are you fucking stupid. She lost everything. She had her sister back, had a second chance to have her dad back, was starting a new family with jinx/Warwick/isha and lost all of that again. She's literally despondent singing that song powder was singing on the bridge while staring into a fire and you think she's good because Caitlyn's there?

Then she had the nerve to say Caitlyn only asked Vi "are you still in this fight" because there's still a lot of work to do to rebuild. You think Caitlyn sees Violet looking depressed as fuck and she goes to ask her to help rebuild piltover, not to check in and see if she's okay? That's supposed to make me believe Caitlyn is going to help Vi through her depression. That's supposed to make me believe Vi got a happy ending.

I swear yall don't really give a fuck about Vi. Yall put all of her trauma and feelings on the back burner for that lackluster ass relationship. Caitlyn was with Maddie longer than she was with Vi but somehow she's all Vi needs to be happy. Yall really be acting like Vi is just an accessory for Caitlyn.

Are Loris and Maddie at the wedding both corpses propped up Weekend at Bernie's style? Because I approve.

ummmm, everybody I have something to say

thank you

Why do so many artists draw the favs in calvin klein undies? Is there a product placement sponsorship situation I'm not aware of lol

"I tried to do it like Matty Healy would do it."

The greasy man who readily admitted to jerking to "raceplay" porn of black women being beaten and degraded? This is your ~lesbian vibe~ inspiration?

This is why I usually actively avoid anything billed as "queer media." I'd rather watch something with 0 gay characters than watch misogynistic horseshit wrapped in rainbows.

upcoming movie about a lesbian detective. sounds cool! what could even go wrong?

straight woman immersing into a racist, violent porn addicted creep to play a lesbian correctly

but wait, is it even made by a woman?

no, but we have a straight couple of producers, one of them identifies as a lesbian

the lesbian attracted to the man in question (and married to him since '93)

I'm sick, I'm sick, I'm sick

Jinx stans practicing DARVO like it's an olympic sport.

The people calling Vi a bad sister completely ignore the fact that Jinx tried to kill Vi multiple times and overall made her life worse but Vi is the bad sister apparently

[countcait]

The way they instantly go silent when Caitlyn speaks, and then resume screaming when the kissing continues.

Invested crowd ! 🤩

Thanks Katie Leung (she posted this on her insta 2hrs ago) 🔥

Your posts reminded m of a video on Arcane I see occasionally. It's titled "From Revolution to Propaganda", which honestly makes me think both that the maker doesn't quite get what defines propaganda, and that they wanted it to be their flavour of propaganda.

Honestly, looking at Arcane through a socio-political lense, I think it does something that is quite bold considering todays climate: the show admits that it doesn't have the answers to the world's problems.

Arcane doesn't pretend that it knows how to fix class inequality.

The reason this makes some people foam at the mouth is because "I don't know" is probably the biggest faux pas in the world of internet-warped pop activism.

You're supposed to say "OBVIOUSLY the answer is the violent upheaval of everything followed by a vague gesturing in the direction of communism/anarchy/woke ethnonationalism/Midsommar cult in the woods. OBVIOUSLY everything will be so SIMPLE once everyone falls in line and agrees with ME and my corner of the internet. Good thing when I block and report a heretic, they cease to exist, so we can keep eliminating opposition to the REVOLUTION which will arrive gift wrapped to me at an unspecified date in the future just like an Etsy mystery box."

Arcane digs deep into societal woes for the sake of telling emotionally resonant human survival stories.

Certain other pieces of media dig deep into societal woes for the sake of emotionally bludgeoning the viewer into supporting a singular world view. There's a name for media like that...it's on the tip of my tongue...

I'm sorry to the bright shining stars of the future who didn't get to see their revolution fan fiction play out in this particular high budget fantasy action media. But they seem pretty happy with the new Superman, so maybe they'll follow the shiny object and forget about Arcane.

Probably not though, righteous indignation and endless complaining flicks the dopamine bean a little harder than fawning over "this flawless super hero is literally me and my entire twitter history" Hollywood extravaganza number 29.

Does anyone like my caitvi drawing😃😃

The second "butch and femme" labels become prescriptive instead of merely descriptive, they become misogynistic 1950's invert theory horse shit.

And yeah, in Arcane's universe where there's no homophobia and misogyny, there would never have been a practical purpose in passing as a heterosexual couple in public, therefore there's no historical basis for butch/femme.

The discourse surrounding the butch vs femme-ness of caitlyn and vi is so funny bc like. One why are we reinventing gender roles and two im pretty sure theyd throw you like a javelin if you said any of this to them in universe

[countcait]

Thanks for being normal on this website haha

I maintain a rigorous grass touching regimen. In fact my hands are green and war torn from doing battle with the grass day after day.

You know what's especially dumb? I don't think a lot of them deep down believe what they're saying. They're just so used to ignoring their own thoughts and emotions in favor of the thoughts and emotions that are prescribed to them by the hive mind. They're sitting there sweating, imagining how the rest of their friend group will punish them if they think the wrong thing.

When they look at Caitlyn and Mel they're running formulae in their head to see how the oppressor points stack up like:

woman - gay + (ruling class^rich) × white passing/white enough^cop = evil fascist pig Hitler²

woman + (ruling class^rich) + Piltover councilor √traumatic childhood + oligarch ÷ black = we're gonna tiptoe around this one

And then they turn in their homework for grading and get a C because even though they're correct they have to remember that they're still oppressing someone below them in the endless hierarchy and their penance will never be enough. Extra credit may be given if they adopt 2.5 self-diagnoses and identities before the next classroom session.

I love arcane fans. The entire premise of the show is that people aren't a monolith and that everyone's actions are based on difficult decisions their material conditions put them in and that while we can all agree some actions are terrible, they give context so you can see how someone may be led to making them and that explanation is not justification but an understanding.

And then the dickhead fans were like "everyone in piltover should have been killed in season 2. One state solution Zaun, everyone who is rich is evil (except mel, the wealthiest most powerful of them all) and jinx actually is a freedom fighter who did nothing wrong, and im just going to apply my wafer thin politics i learned from watching 8 hrs of hasans israel palestine coverage and use this as a vessel for my online political brownie points"

The discussion of this show should have been about how season 2 ep 7 was the laziest most forced fan service shown in modern media, but everyone's still arguing about how in the same episode where jinx shot vi point blank with a rocket, Caitlyn elbowed Vi and therefore she's an evil abuser and somehow hitler.

I ask myself why I still subject myself to the Caitlyn discourse on this hellsite and it's really just because there's some smart, spicy users dedicated to defending Caitlyn and I like reading what you all write. Plus the anti-Caitlyn brigade is a perfect representation of the type of insufferable tankie that I've been surrounded by throughout my teens and twenties so there's some catharsis happening when I watch them rage.

"Gaslight baby blue." Oh gag me with an industrial sized soup ladle.

Watch this unhinged mongoose gaslight baby blue and the audience into believing their crimes are on the same level in real time.
