[arabella-strange]

the way I'm gonna smash that rb button when somebody makes the cute-as-hell gifs of Ashley and Robbie (as Yasha and Dorian) miming themselves jamming while everybody else across the Nein Hells has a serious conversation? pray for my keyboard

[idkwhatimdoingbutslay]

OH ALSO, i didn't say this in my response to your response but i think what you said about "vi isn't super connected to zaun as a people" is super correct. i don't think vi feels like she really has a place within the system of zaun and piltover. we see her work against the system, outside of it, or even attempt to work WITH it at different points throughout the show. it doesn't seem to matter to her where she stands with respect to the powers that be so long at she's getting what she wants (very similar to vander). so it seems like the author of that other post wants vi to be something she just isn't, some kind of social justice warrior. but vi doesn't believe the system can be changed ("topside and bottom, oil and water, that's all there is") so she doesn't concern herself with it. she's focused on protecting the people she loves.

ironically, OP seems to be somewhat anti-caitlyn, but caitlyn is actually the one who wants to fix the system and believes it can be done. caitlyn is going to be the one to get vi to take part in solving the bigger problems, because she offers vi a new place to belong, not in piltover as part of the system but at caitlyn's side trying to bring the two halves of the city back together.

UGH YEAH!

It’s been said before, but it’s always the Anti-Caitlyns who seem to have closed their eyes and plugged their ears in every single scene with Vi (and of course Cait) in it. The CONSTANT projection is crazy. Again, personal biases making it hard to critically think for people.

Vi is NOT Vander and her beef with Silco is not super similar to the beef Vander had with Silco. Vi is here for the people she loves and the collateral damage and/or improvements is not what she’s concerned about.

Like you said, Vi isn’t as progressive as people think. She was stuck in prison for SEVEN YEARS, abused constantly and beaten down her entire life to keep her in her place. She’s accepted the different positions in society, she just wants Silco GONE and her sister BACK. Not for particularly political/societal reasons, but because her sister is who’s she’s dedicated to and tied her worth to. She wants to go back to before Vander and Claggor and Mylo died, maybe even to before her parents died. She’s never been one to look for a future, but for the past. That’s why her and Cait were rocky in the beginning. Progress was never an option with her. (Idk if this got my point across just yes to what you said already 😭)

Again, you’ve basically said everything, but I really want to amplify the fact that CAITLYN WANTS TO DO AND BE BETTER!!! THATS WHAT SHE WANTS!!! VI WAS THE ONE WHO SAID OIL AND WATER AND CAITLYN WAS THE ONE TO COUNTER IT!!! THEY ONLY EQUATED OIL AND WATER TO THEIR RELATIONSHIP FUTHER INTO THE CONVERSATION, IT WAS ABOUT TOPSIDE AND BOTTOM FIRST!!!!

LIKE UGHHHH!!!! I’ll never understand what people who are anti-Cait want from the story (not to accuse op of being anti-Cait but that’s the vibe from their posts, sorry if that’s isn’t your intention). I WANT Zaun and Piltover to get better, I WANT Piltover to acknowledge their actions and change, I WANT Zaun to finally be respected as a population of LIVING BEINGS!! THATS ALSO WHAT CAITLYN WANTS!!!! THAT WAS HER WHOLE ARC!!!!! Ok, let me calm down.

We want progress don’t we???? Caitlyn is how we’re really going to get it.

Anyway, you’ve literally covered it all. The only person we REALLY see dedicated to the community the way people say Vi is is Ekko. Not even Vander and Silco were truly dedicated to the Undercity as a whole the way he was. Vi hasn’t necessarily really made a statement in the Undercity, Ekko has! Ekko looks at the Undercity as a whole, Vi looks at her loved ones like we’ve stated.

Ummm… yeah that’s it I think. Got my blood pumping there, jeez.

i've been doing a bunch of companion portraits for npc's for our odyssey of the dragonlords 5e game (aka THE ORPHANMAKER TOUR) (UNFORTUNATELY) and it has been primarily a reason to study hades' art style, google ancient greek statuary, and draw pretty hair

[deltadex]

#yeah i think caitlyn might also be thinking “who am I to ask you to stay” this a THOUSAND percent. i wish i could put screenshots in asks lol but the expression on her face when vi looks up at her while hugging ekko screams to me that she wants so badly to say something to protest against her leaving but she doesn't think she has the right. this is vi's sister they're talking about, while caitlyn only met vi a few days ago.

WAIT I CAN PUT SCREENSHOTS IN ASKS WTF

THIS FACE

like this is not JUST sadness. this is caitlyn's "i want to say something but i don't know what" face. and she's so respectful of vi's wishes that she just keeps quiet and hugs her instead of saying anything, and even then she hesitates like she's not totally sure if she's allowed to do it, or if she's supposed to be feeling this way after such a short time.

anyway i'm gonna die thank you for indulging my brain dump in your ask box, i just loved your tags on my post so much

Honestly, this scene was handled so masterfully! And at this point, the only thing Caitlyn knows about Jinx is that she works for Silco and was the one to steal the hexcrystal before almost blowing her up (unknowingly, for the second time). Yet she doesn't make a comment about Jinx like Ekko does. Caitlyn doesn't tell Vi that she should give up on her sister because she's become a hardened criminal. She lets Vi be because she can see how much she loves her sister. And she's not going to hold her back because of feelings she's only recently developed. It wouldn't be right of her to expect Vi to choose her over Powder. Not now.

That's why she's slightly hesitant to hug Vi and reveal any of those feelings. But then, unexpectadly for Caitlyn, Vi shows that she reciprocates those feelings (with "It's been real, Cupcake" and the cheek touch). In light of this newfound mutuality, they both let their gaurd down a little, and let any words they're not able to say seep into each other by hugging even tighter.

Anyways, thanks so much for the brain dump (It fueled this brain dump of mine lol). Always love your CaitVi analyses!

I leaned over to my friend when Fjord was talking about fixing up the Orphanage situation he came from, and told my friend that Yasha should change her title to the “OrphanTaker” and not even a minute later Beau says that to her. I screamed and flailed at my friend in the theatre!

[vithcy]

what about regular Virginia?

I'm assuming this is the Original Virginia from where West Virginia came of so this one is probably more White™? And again they sound expensive. WAIT the name is ringing some british bells mayhaps thats why it sounds white and expensive

Interesting shades of meaning: Calling something a "widowmaker" merely indicates that it's dangerous, but if you were to call something an "orphanmaker" it would imply cartoonish levels of violence and mayhem

Looks like with that tattoo, Yasha picked up the Abberant Dragonmark feat back at level 16.

Knowing what we know, that tracks.

+1 to CON to go from 14 to 15.

Free cantrip and 1st-level spell from the sorcerer list: Thunderclap and Absorb Elements.

And what I assume is the flaw: "The skin around the mark is burned, scaly, or withered." Or in Yasha's case, scarred.

Yasha’s new tattoo

HAPPY NEW YEAR have an art dump
