#caitlyn stan

[chronicsyd]

"you're gonna hate Caitlyn after S2!" who? me? that's cute (but really, if Jinx stans are allowed a certain level of bias towards her after what we've seen her do, I think I should be allowed that same thing as a Caitlyn stan dontcha think? also don't get me wrong, I'm probably not gonna agree with Everything that Caitlyn does this season but that's like-- the Whole Point of the show. And knowing me, I'm probably gonna make a long winded rant about why I'm still defending Caitlyn and not gonna start hating her...)

(Also I'm starting to feel like we're heading into Abby Anderson territory with the way I'm already seeing people start to talk about her with S2... and LOOK, you can not agree with everything that she does and all that jazz but ISTG if I start seeing y'all send death threats Katie's way I'm Gonna LOSE it. Dislike the character, Whatever, but Leave The Cast ALONE. you can wish death on a character All you want, i may not agree with it and I probably won't be able to change your mind on it; but sending those same threats to the actors makes you rather pathetic)

(I also forgot to add that Katie's already been through this when she played Cho Chang in Harry Potter and let's just say the Harry Potter fans were... not the nicest to her, and that's putting it Very lightly. so I Expect Jinx stans to behave nicer to her regardless of your feelings of Caitlyn this season)

[hishighnesstheprincess]

Caitlyn really heard her mother say "the people of the undercity deserve to breathe" and then immediately decided to use chemical weapons like omfg she really wasn't joking when she said she and her mother couldn't agree on anything 😭

[n1blakelover]

man imma have to stay off the arcane (specifically caitlyn and vi) tags for a long ass time bc the amount of people shitting on them from the stuff that’s leaked is pissing me tf off, i’m gonna be in the goddamn trenches defending these two in s2 just as i was in the trenches defending vi in season 1

[dykesevika]

kinda bugs me a lil bit to see fans of characters who have atleast SOME form of merch complain about ‘having nothing’

[lilix-love]

Ooooo the arcane fandom actually kinda sucks...

Caitlyn and her “misfit” ways

When we meet Caitlyn she says is that she is a misfit.

The definition states that it’s something that does not fit or fits badly. This tells us that she doesn’t feel like she belongs in piltover society. That she feels set apart from them, she doesn’t agree with how they run it’s society.

This was one of the first things that drew me to Caitlyn, that she would say this about herself as a rich and privileged person even in piltover.

However, she contradicts herself almost immediately.

She becomes an enforcer. This is very odd because she said she doesn’t agree with piltover society, that she finds it misaligned to what she believes in. But then she joins the very group of people that help her class (her parents class) maintain their power and position.

I think she does this to oppose her parents. But rather she just ends up running right into their world. Which as stated is supposed to be something she doesn’t believe in.

This is such an contrast, Caitlyn believes she is a rebel and yet she does not act like one.

Caitlyn is well-intentioned and she does not actively cause harm. Which is why she’s given pass, even though she is part of the system and actively does upload it by being an enforcer, but she is naive and has a lot to learn about everything really, even her own society. Which the little she does know of she dislikes. Overall this is very interesting. The character saying and believing that she is a rebel in her world yet her actions do not portray that. The only "rebellious" thing she does is getting Vi out of prison, and even then that is for her own gain as she would have not gotten any information without Vi.

She’s a kind and sweet person, but that does not work well in either of these worlds and with her becoming more and more like Piltover I wonder if there will be any left of the misfit that Caitlyn once desired to be

[maxfieldparrishes]

some of these mfs on twitter are really out here hating on caitlyn before the season is even released

like... y'all know this is fiction, right? you don't get real-world activism points for pointing the blame at caitlyn for piltover's wrongs

[spop-romanticizes-abuse]

stop calling c//a an enemies to lovers trope challenge. it's an abuser x victim relationship.

the way i gotta be defending Caitlyn and Vi out here sometimes is Fucking Ridiculous! and the culprits bashing them are almost Always Jinx stans with ABSOLUTELY ZERO MEDIA LITERACY SKILLS to the point where I question if you even paid attention to what the show was Trying to tell you.

For Example:

NO, Caitlyn did not "brainwash" Vi; Caitlyn saved Vi's ass by letting her out of Stillwater in the First place, stays with her after being stabbed and traded her (probably) custom made rifle for the ailment to save Vi's life because she's a good person. Any other Enforcer would have probably left Vi to bleed to death for running off in the first place (if any other Enforcer were crazy enough to let Vi's ass out of Stillwater to begin with) Vi likes Caitlyn because she's good natured despite growing up with literally All the privilege in the world

With her marksman skills, Caitlyn could have Easily put a bullet in Sevika's head, but she doesn't. she aims for the shimmer device powering her arm, using a non-lethal way of taking her out (unlike a certain Other blue haired fanatic)

Caitlyn wants the cycle of violence to stop. she makes her objectives Very clear: Locate Jinx, Dismantle Shimmer, Neutralize anyone still loyal to Silco. with the grief over her mom she could have said she wanted to kill Jinx, but she doesn't. Neutralizing people still loyal to Silco, who mind you are still HORRIBLE people who, Like Silco have taken advantage of struggling people for power. and by dismantling Shimmer she's actually helping Zaun to recover from SILCO'S oppression and exploitation of them (remember people like Husk? the Children in Silco's shimmer facilities?).

NO Caitlyn did not maliciously interrupt Vi and Jinx's reunion in episode 6. Yes she and Vi did see the blue smoke but it's Very evident that Vi didn't tell Caitlyn what the hell it meant and just took off, and because she's faster than Caitlyn, Caitlyn spent the minute (or longer) of Vi and Jinx's reunion just catching up to her. she only looks up and see's the pair when she runs up the steps and stops, but Jinx had already heard her at that point and looked over, not giving Caitlyn enough time to make herself scarce before pulling out her machine gun. Vi Also didn't tell Caitlyn that Jinx works for Silco, despite having known that fact since her fight with Sevika.

Caitlyn didn't Force Ekko into agreeing with her. She even Says, "You'd be well within your rights to keep it, I wouldn't blame you." She offers a perspective that could help Both Piltover and the Undercity and Ekko trusts her on the condition that he's the one that gives the gemstone to the council (That is until Marcus and Jinx get in the way)

Caitlyn Tries to go about getting peace diplomatically, she doesn't manipulate the councilors into doing anything (despite them all being manipulative assholes themselves)

Manipulate: "control or influence (a person or situation) cleverly, unfairly, or unscrupulously." JINX is the one that does this when she kidnaps Caitlyn and Vi and forces Vi to shoot Caitlyn.

Caitlyn did not choose to be born into her family's power and wealth, and that's not something you can blame her for. was she ignorant to what people in the undercity have faced? Yes but that's because she's been cooped up her entire life, surround by people with prejudice towards the Undercity and never set foot into the undercity until she was with Vi, you can't blame her for that either.

Vi was a 15 year old CHILD who saw her adoptive family die right in front of her eyes. she was exhausted and overwhelmed by her situation. and her younger sister (who she had told to stay) had said she was basically responsible for it, Vi's known to lash out when she's upset and angry. and when her brain catches up to what she did, she's horrified and leaves to calm down and not to do Anything else drastic. but when she tries to go back when Silco shows up, Marucs kidnaps her. hating Vi for this is stupid.

"Vi runs back to Caitlyn when she left to go find her sister!" Vi heard a Gunshot and saw that Caitlyn was being held at Gunpoint. Vi had NO IDEA that Jinx was even watching the entire interaction go down, the shocked look in her eyes when she picks Caitlyn up off the ground is evidence enough of that.

NO Vi isn't selfish for not wanting to shoot Caitlyn. for one, being asked to shoot someone is ludicrous enough but Vi IS allowed to care about other people, which is why she proposes that the two leave as a substitute to what Jinx is asking of her. yes leave Cait behind, but she wouldn't be Dead (you'd think that Vi's seen Enough people she cares about in her life being dead but according to Jinx stans, Apparently Not!)

Being upset at Vi in S2 is Ludicrous because we have Zero context for Any of these scenes that we have gotten. we don't know Any of the specifics of her becoming an Enforcer, why she's saying "my sister is gone.", why she's fighting Jinx, ANY of it. Geez.

(See, this is why we need the "Why is the curtain blue?" discussions because apparently some of y'all don't know how to think. And No, I'm not just bashing Jinx's character, I actually really like Jinx's character but her fans are some of the most annoying people to interact with sometimes...)

Ladies and gays... Cuntlyn Kiramman is in the building, let's give her a proper welcome back 🫡💐💍✨️

[violets-emotionalbreakdown]

Whooooo wants to bet that on some level, Caitlyn blames Vi for her mother's death bc it was Vi who begged for Jinx's life and it's easier to be mad at someone else than deal with your own guilt and culpability?

[mvmnbnv]

Say what you will about caitlyn but at least her stans are chill people who embrace all her dimensions and don't act like she does no wrong

[lunaeuphternal]

Harold?!
