#like as much as i enjoyed the scene itself the caitvi sex scene was in a bit of a strange place imo

[mydignityisinflames]

Overall I did really enjoy S2, in particular act 3, but I definitely think it should have been 3 seasons not two. They crammed too much in so some bits ended up being a bit underdeveloped and there were pacing issues throughout the series but the animation was stunning as always and they did well to pack it all in with the timeframe they were given

I hate the CaitVi Sex scene

Everytime I see someone thirsting after the scene and gushing about how it's so hot, I feel so disgusted and ticked cause of how the scene came about and where it's located.

Before we get onto my rant about the scene itself, I want to mention the CaitVi scene that happened before that.

"She saved your life!"

"If you will just calm down for on-"

If you will just calm down for once? Hypocrite. Caitlyn's allowed to be pissy, allowed to call Zaunites animals (oh, "except" Vi though) and then fight like an animal by biting Sevika—

Sidenote:

That's also another scene I don't find hot at all. Any time I see it, I can't focus on how attractive Sevika is when she's smug (even though she totes is). All I can focus on is how Caitlyn bit Sevika. I don't remember who pointed it out, if it was on Tumblr or TikTok which I have promptly deleted since the ban, but someone pointed out that Caitlyn is fighting dirty—like a Zaunite. Caitlyn was backed into a corner, so she fought like an animal.

Fuck her.

I guess now she can somewhat understand why Zaunites fight the way they do. When you're backed into a corner, feeling helpless, feeling desperate, you fight like it and she did the same exact same thing she judged them for.

Bastard.

Lol can you tell I'm feeling bitter over her character?

Back to OG rant

—biting Sevika, gas the undercity and harshly interrogate someone who was a victim of Jinx's shenanigans, hit Vi for trying to calm her down from her grief driven rage, but oh, no Vi must calm down even though she's barely angry compared to when Caitlyn's angry. Not to mention that Caitlyn throws a tantrum herself and throws the tiny figure in her hand to the ground.

"—since you don't trust her enough not to shove her in a box."

Can we please take note of the tremble in Vi's voice when she says that? 'Oh, Jinx brought back her trauma from being in Stillwater!1!2!1' First of all, shut up. Second of all, yeah. . . So did Caitlyn?? Caitlyn may not have known what to do with Jinx, but the option for her to let Jinx go to prison was there and Vi hated it.

"Cait, she's changed."

"We can't erase our mistakes. None of us."

All the while not doing any time of her own for the crimes she committed—and no, I'm not talking about her gassing the undercity. What she did as a dictator, letting Noxians take over, and hardly doing anything afterwards even though she caused so much pain and misery to both Piltovians and Zaunites goes unpunished. Her losing an eye is nothing compared to the fear many people will feel while living under a dictatorship.

Get the guillotine!!

"Who decides who gets a second chance?"

Exactly. Caitlyn did no better than Jinx. She knows it too. It tears her up inside—as it should!!! Besides, did she think Jinx wasn't going to eventually get out of Stillwater? Or was one of her options to let Jinx rot there until she died? Yeah, I'm sure your girlfriend would love that.

Now, let's get to the scene itself!

But first let me talk about what happened right before that—

Vi tries to get Jinx on her side, Jinx rejects her, and Vi watches her sister leave while being told by her that Vi "deserves to be happy" and not to "worry about her anymore".

Yikes.

People say that what happened next with Caitlyn was Vi "finally being selfish", but it just feels wrong to me. Don't get me wrong, Vi deserves to enjoy herself after everything that's been done to her; however, you aren't going to have normal, healthy, healing sex right after seeing a loved one leave you for good.

Trust me lol I've had enough grieving/traumatic experience to know that you can feel upset for hours and won't immediately be able to get into a happy mindset even if you find something to entertain yourself with. You can have people try to cheer you up and you feel a bit better, but you still feel that lingering horrible feeling inside that will eat at you for who knows how long. You could give me Steb wearing the cutest little red panties I have ever seen in my life and I'd still be sad while trying to eat him out. You need to give me that like a day or so AFTER my little breakdown cause I won't enjoy it right after crying about losing my sis.

Sidenote:

Someone please remind me to draw that.

It would take at least an hour for Vi to get back to normal with the way she was reacting. At least. Vi was in that cell for who knows how long, but she was still upset and rather vulnerable when Caitlyn found her. No doubt she needed more time to get herself together.

Okay, now, let's get to the scene itself!!!

Bro, don't fuck me while I'm crying unless I'm crying cause I'm laughing too hard or because of sexy overstimulation. Fuck me? Nah, fuck you.

"I choose wrong every time—and because of it. . . I've lost everyone."

"Did you really think I needed all the guards at the HexGates?"

SHUT UP! SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT AWWWWWUUUPPPPPPP—anyway,

Your girl is clearly upset, grieving her lost relationship with her sister (and likely other loved ones shes lost like Vander/Warwick), feeling guilty, and clearly not in any type of good mood yet your first reaction is to smirk???? You think this is funny?? Now is not the time to tease, Ms. Dumbass.

Vi needs compassion and reassurance not. . . Whatever that was. Yes, showing that you knew all along and didn't do anything to stop her shows that you do care for her, but it also isn't what she needs. Caitlyn did not reassure her that Vi wasn't going to lose her so easily.

Mainly because if she did, that'd be a lie, but that's neither here nor there.

"Sorry to say, you've grown a bit predictable."

Girl, you are not sorry. Quit lying. I can smell the smoke coming off your pants, but I'm not getting the fire extinguisher.

Again, this isn't what Vi needs. Any therapist would be able to tell you that you should seek healthier coping mechanisms other than sex. Does cuddling not exist? Does making out and then putting a stop to it because you realize your girl is not in the right state of mind for this exist??? Seeking sex after feeling so vulnerable and horrible about yourself is in no way, shape, or form okay. Shit isn't cute.

Caitlyn, you are more of an animal than you realize.

"Listen! While you were gone, I. . . Saw someone."

All of a sudden you realize that you should stop things because you feel guilty, but that guilt isn't over letting your girl go down on you after being upset and grieving, but about. . . Having another girl while she was gone???? Girl, seriously, your priorities are wack.

She does hesitate for a moment once she sees VI's injury (I can't remember where the injury came from. I stg if it came from Caitlyn or whatever Caitlyn ordered her to do. . .) yet she continues on. There are multiple reasons why they shouldn't do it right then and there, but Caitlyn is so horny she lets Vi pleasure her.

The reasons:

1. Vi is not in the right place of mind, she just lost her sister. Please let her grieve.

2. That is a jail cell. After what happened to her, their first time should be somewhere comfortable. Vi deserves comfort. She deserves to be spoiled. You're in Piltover, Caitlyn has a mansion with a really good bed, but your first fuck is in a dirty jail cell??

3. That is a jail cell that contained her sister. Vi can't reclaim shit about having sex in a jail cell if it's a cell that contained her sister. If there was better writing, she'd feel guilty over having sex in the cell she lost her sister. Her guilt isn't going to immediately go away because of one fuck. That's not how it works. Wish it was, but it's not.

Can I also note that Vi is the one pleasuring Caitlyn and not the other way around? Maybe Vi prefers to eat out rather than be eaten, but I think it just speaks more to her always servicing others rather than servicing herself or being serviced. If the sex scene was gonna happen, at least show Vi being completely selfish and enjoying herself by showing Cait be the one to kiss her down to her coochie. Maybe she's a stone top, but she gives off switch vibes to me.

Fuck you, Cait. Always wanting things to benefit you.

(If it was me, I'd eat Vi out, but, again, that's neither here nor there. . . She's not even in my top favs. I just want the best for her cause I hate Caitlyn lol.)

"I'm feeling fantastic."

FUCK YOUUUU

Okay *drops mic* , rant over

[oodlyenough]

I pretty much agree about arcane. I'm still enjoying it, but I feel like both acts so far would've been better suited for a whole season each tbh.

Yeah, there's a lot of story in all of their ideas and we're just kind of getting the cole's notes I feel. It's a shame. I remember thinking S1 felt breakneck sometimes, especially just from the pov of someone who loves writing fill-in-the-gaps fic and had a hard time finding gaps lol, but season 2 has the additional burden of having to be the final season and it's just not enough.

I'm not sure about act 1 was a season unto itself, but episode 6 could easily have been a season 2 finale leading into a third season. We should've seen more than a montage of commander Caitlyn, the black rose stuff started off cool to me but now feels like a huge sidequest in an already-packed season, Caitvi simultaneously needed more time together and more time apart, it's crazy that Jayce and Viktor's whole everything is happening over like a cumulative 15 minutes of screentime... Ekko wasn't even IN act 2...

AND Caitvi fans were/are still really hoping for a sex scene somewhere in there lmao 😭 there's no time for anything

From a purely practical standpoint I can see why Riot looked at the long development time for each season and thought "nope". But the product suffers for sure.

[greys-reblog]

I've rebbogged some posts that express most of my thoughts already already but I thought I'll summarise it in a post myself.

Act 3 is dogwater actually imo. It's not the worst thing I've watched but for a show with such a strong season one and the 1st act of season 2 being really compelling, I am extremely disappointed. The only watchable/bearable episode to me was episode 7 and even that has it's own issues by itself.

Here are the things I didn't like:

Jinx deserved better. Jinx really did. I do not care about the theories whether or not Jinx is alive. You do not end a suicidal girl arc with a cheap sacrifice and vaguely hint at her being alive. Priorities people. (Imo it felt like they killed Jinx off to satisfy the criteria of one sister must be dead for the other to be happy as established in ep7)

If you thought Caitvi was rushed in act 2, it's WORSE here. There's no intimate charecter moments or apologies for how they treated each other. The most we get is a lesbian sex scene and while that was so cool I even had friends pointed it out on my discord status, people have already mentioned it before how forced it felt especially when Jinx just ran off to off herself. Sex is not the most important thing right now. Cait and Vi do somewhat care about Jinx too as evident by the previous dialogue.

Jayce and Vik have felt off charecter, I know that's the point but in this arc it's just especially bad. We don't even get Vik's League form as payoff for what they were trying to set up. (I'm a MelJayceVik shipper for context)

While ep7 is the favourite of mine and I enjoyed seeing Timebomb canon, the switch between Ekko and Hemi living their best lives and Jayce fighting for his life was also absolutely comedy gold, I just. Do not. See that alternate universe happening man. The Undercity DOES NOT gain independence through Vi's death, and it's cheap and gross and fake and honestly horrible even in fact that it does. The reason why Piltover and Zaun are so separated and horrible with each other is the prejudice, and it's even shown in the first few episodes that Vander and Grace were maintaining a very thin line of peace and once that broke, chaos wrecked havoc. Vi dying or not doesn't change that. Nothing is magically fixed because the other sister is dead. It took them YEARS to give Zaun independence for goodness sake, right before Jinx's blastered the entire council. Jayce arc made sense at least.

I do not understand why Viktor would just agree to work with Ambessa, their personalities are complete opposites. Vik chases for peace and freedom, Ambessa wants war every waking moment.

What's with the amount of killed champions man?? I did see a theory that they would be willing to kill off one but it was like. Almost every major playable charecter? And for what? Emotional value? Lazy writing? Ambessa literally just became a playable champion too to advertise season 2 and she DIES???

Honestly the only thing I liked about act 3 was Mel's arc, and the ending of Jayvik was sweet. CaitVi was nice, but it felt so unearned and undeserved. As Cait herself said, you can't erase the actions you've done.

The songs are still bangers at least.

I do not blame the people working on it, it's clear they were heavily rushed to try and pull off every story beat, it's just underwhelming that something with such a good season 1 with a 250 million budget ended up like this. They could've done so much better if season 2 was slightly longer, 15 instead of 10 episodes for example.
