Caitlyn: …Jayce told you it would be more romantic if you were mysterious, didn’t he?

Vi: How do I make a date more romantic?

Jayce: Maybe try being more mysterious

Later

Caitlyn: So where are we going, exactly?

Vi: None of your fucking business.

Caitlyn:

#Arcane family face studies part 1!

-Basically a lil project on the arcane style as I LOVE how the show designs related characters and makes them so similar yet so unique/different. Justice for Tobias here as his genes did try yall but cass practically copy and pasted. Im planning to do Jinx/Vi and their parents next and afterwards the Medardas!

I want to talk about THIS moment. Right before. There's a TON of people misreading Caitlyn's intent because she's using such a playful demeanor after Vi's sorrowful self-deprecation. To be honest, it's the best response she could have had, and the best tactic. Her demeanor serves as a stark contrast to the spiral of self hatred that Vi is going down, and it's an excellent distraction. Caitlyn is stopping her line of thinking, right then and there, and she does it while delivering one of the most romantic and understated declarations of love I've ever seen.

Stay with me here.

Let's be very clear: Caitlyn did NOT come to the cell with the goal of seducing Vi. Not even. How do we know? Aside from several context clues that come before this scene, the way Caitlyn responds to the kiss is very telling:

See how long it takes Cait to even register what the fuck is going on?? She's literally like "oh. OH. we're kissing? WE'RE KISSING." And Vi also OPENS HER EYES very briefly, to check that Caitlyn is as into this as she is, right as Cait settles into the kiss, likely sensing her hesitation/delayed reaction. This scene is NOT Caitlyn seducing Vi. This scene is Caitlyn giving herself to Vi, and Vi choosing exactly what she wants to do with her, which is VERY different.

What does Caitlyn say right before the kiss? She says, "Do you really think I needed all the guards at the hexgates?" Translation: I left Jinx's cell unguarded on purpose. I want you to know that I heard you during our last conversation. I want you to know that I trust you. I want you to know that my love and care for you is more important than my need to sate my grief and desire for revenge. I choose you.

And following: "Sorry to say, you've grown a bit predictable." Translation: I know you. I see you. I knew you would choose this, coming after your sister, and I facilitated the circumstances in which you COULD choose this. You don't choose wrong. You choose love, and I understand that now. I want you to know that I support your choices, and they won't cost you the people you care about, at least not me, not anymore. I know that you'll always choose your sister, and I've made peace with that. What you want is what I want.

That is MONUMENTAL. That's quite possibly one of the most romantic things I've ever seen in media. Because who the hell has the guts to give up their grief and forgive their mother's murderer, all for love? That's a level of sacrifice that not enough people are acknowledging.

People say Caitlyn never changed, never felt remorse, never grew from the bad choices she made. I say wrong. And this was the turning point.

people forget jinx had caitlyn for a whole day

if jinx was a guy people would have taken this alot more seriously

character va's outright stated jinx tortured her

Vi and Caitlyn both ending the season having lost their smart, inventive J-named sibling. Vi losing what little is left of who she was supposed to protect, Caitlyn losing what little is left of her support system. Vi losing her little sister, another death witnessed with her very eyes. Caitlyn losing her big brother, another death she couldn't even be there for herself. Vi is cursed to watch her loved ones get torn from her grasp, while Caitlyn is cursed to never know when they've been stolen from her hands.

Vi, who is haunted by the sight of her family's lifeless eyes, who can hear their screams with terrifying clarity, plagued by the same memories over and over. Caitlyn, who is haunted by the paintings of her own mind, who imagines endless versions of her loved ones' last moments because she'll never know, plagued by different horrors over and over.

Vi, who is terrified any time she and Caitlyn fight alongside one another, who feels her blood freeze with every second Caitlyn is in combat because not again.

Caitlyn, who is terrified any time she and Vi are separated, who feels her stomach drop with every second Vi isn't in her line of sight because not again.

Vi and Caitlyn both grieving their siblings and refusing to lose each other in the same way.

Okay, hear me out: Arcane x Brooklyn 99 AU - Piltover 99

Vi as Jake, Sevika as Rosa, Vander as Terry, Caitlyn as Amy, Jayce as Charles, Mel as Gina, Silco as Holt, Loris and Steb as Hitchcock and Scully, and Jinx as Doug Judy.

Vi and Caitlyn wouldn't be that different from Jake and Amy if they were in a workplace sitcom (plus Caitlyn literally does the exact same pose that Amy does in the intro!). Sevika and Rosa are already very similar. Vander and Terry are both big buff dilfs who love their families. Jayce is the only character I can see fawning over Vi like Charles does with Jake, and I feel like they have a similar naive and eager nature. Mel and Gina are both master manipulators who are unnaturally fabulous. And Mel having a relationship with Jayce is a bonus. Silco and Holt have the least in common, but they both have very no-nonsense attitudes. I thought Grayson would work for this role, especially because she was a mentor to Caitlyn like Holt is for Amy, but Silco is the more important and popular character. I couldn't think of any Brooklyn 99 villains that were prominent or menacing enough for Silco, but if anyone remembers one, let me know! Jinx is the only one unhinged enough to be Pimento, but I thought that his brotherly relationship with Jake and the fact that he's a criminal made Doug Judy a better fit. And I'm sorry to Loris and Steb, but we know nothing about them, and there aren't any characters like Hitchcock and Scully in Arcane. But I love them and wanted to include them, so there you go.

And for some of the side characters, Ambessa as Wunch and m*ddie as Teddy. Unfortunately I couldn't think of anyone for Ekko or Viktor, but I'd love to hear suggestions if anyone has them!

anyways Galinda would 100% be like making out with Elphie and say This is just something that friends do together ☺️ and Elphaba would be like. that doesn’t sound quite right but i don’t know enough about friendship to dispute it

[schrodingerspsycho]

saw this and immediately knew I needed it on my blog

[schrodingerspsycho]

you know what's wild to me? some people just... watched arcane

like they watched both seasons and were like, 'that was good' and then watched something else

they don't wake up thinking about the show and walking around thinking of fanfic plotlines, edits, and fanart. they just literally watched it and then moved on with their lives instead of making it their whole personality. they may have watched it and talked to no one about it.

like what does that feel like??

A sudden, terrifying thought

When you see an animal with its eyes set to the front, like wolves, or humans, that’s usually a predator animal.

If you see an animal with its eyes set farther back, though—to the side—that animal is prey.

Now look at this dragon.

See those eyes?

They’re to the SIDE.

This raises an interesting—and terrifying—question.

What in the name of Lovecraft led evolution to consider DRAGONS…

As PREY?

thinking about AU powder with tattoos similar, yet different, than jinx’s

(they are on her opposite side on purpose)
