#in this tedtalk I will discuss why Caitlyn Kiramman is actually punk as fuck

[mrbonsaibones]

you know I’ve seen some people musing about this recently and I would like to add my thoughts on it:

Caitlyn Kiramman is like the epitome of that meme about how girls actually play with their barbies. like, you expect her to be Normal and Not Like That and then you watch her commit crimes for six episodes.

one part of her character that means a lot to me is just how committed she is to completely ignoring any authority that she can, and it makes sense! she’s been kept on an incredibly short leash for most of her life, her parents have enough influence to control parts of her life even as an adult, and my girl is probably pretty tired of that!

and like, yes, she’s righteous and good and just and kind and whatever but I think people should remember that her goodness is not her whole character.

it is also her wonderful urge to be just a little insane. Sure, she’ll impersonate an officer, forge official documents, and break someone out of prison. she’ll trade her weapon for drugs, she’ll flirt with a girl in a brothel, she’ll tell her mom to her face that she thinks her mom isn’t doing enough with her power WHILE getting shrapnel removed from her leg.

all this to say: I enjoy watching her buck authority and I wish people in this fandom would stop pretending she’s a pure little goody two shoes just cause she wants to help people. she is also Feral. please let her be Feral.
