Arcane S2 Thoughts - Caitlyn Changing

Just thinking more about Caitlyn and her timeline and her "changing." I have to remind myself that we've only seen a snapshot of Caitlyn and her ideals. Season 1 (Acts 2 and 3) takes place over what? One week? It's a crazy week, and yes, during S1 we see Caitlyn be incredibly empathetic to the Undercity and its people. She lets Vi out of prison. She shows compassion to Huck. She bridges the gap with Ekko. She defends the Undercity in front of the Council.

But we also see her have initial prejudice toward Vi (both in prison and out of it). She makes insensitive and naive comments about the Undercity (The Last Drop, shimmer addicts). She's trying her best, but you can tell there's subconscious issues there. And all the nice things we get to see her do are rooted in her self-appointed mission of taking down the leader of the Undercity to save the people there. People she really doesn't know that much about.

And she acknowledges that. She suspects that reality is different than the rhetoric she's been fed her entire life. Vi shows her the truth, and she sees the plight of the people there.

But, she's only had that truth for what? A week? And she's had this subconscious prejudice for 20 years? And then what happens?

Her mother is killed

The Undercity brutally attacks innocent (and not so innocent) civilians at a Memorial for said mother.

I mean, no wonder that bias is bubbling up again. No wonder Vi starts looking like an exception, and the Undercity folk start looking like, well, animals.

And we can still see that internal battle right? She tells the council it's just one person causing the issues, not the Undercity itself. She defends Vi to the Enforcers. Her objectives are focused on keeping the people of the Undercity safe, or at least minimizing damage.

But she still uses Hextech weaponry. She still uses The Gray to gas them out. She still threatens incarceration to that henchman in front of Vi.

Vi asks Caitlyn not to change. But Vi's only known Cait for one emotional, adrenaline-filled, sleep-deprived, chaotic week. Does she really know Caitlyn at all? Does Caitlyn even know herself?

I truly think Caitlyn's life changed when she met Vi, through Vi's heart and through her experience in the Undercity. But what is one week of change compared to 20 years of messaging. Compared to the grief of losing your mother. Compared to the guilt of believing that you could've stopped it. Had you been decisive enough. Had you been ruthless enough. Had you just, taken the shot.

Caitlyn calculates everything she does. And I think her fatal flaw is her belief that she, and she alone, can make the right decision. It's what led her to her rogue investigation in Season 1, and it's what's leading her to become Ambessa's war general in Season 2.

The environment you're in is a hell of a factor. We've never seen Caitlyn with a grief like this. We've never seen Caitlyn with this kind of power. And wow, the power. The power of her name, of her house, of the military. We don't know who Caitlyn will become in this new environment. She's probably finding out for herself.

So did Caitlyn change? I don't know, because I don't know if we ever really knew her at all.

I think a severely underrated part of Tamlins character is that he is compelled to do genuinely kind and good things because its the right thing to do. He had no real reason to protect Lucien and let him live at the spring court (that we are fully aware of), but he did it anyway. He didn't have to set up feyres family like that, but it was the right thing to do. He could have taken the easy way out when he became HL and kept things like his father did, but he didn't! He is a character driven by his moral compass and is shockingly kind despite everything.

and I fucking love that about him.

this whole dave grohl thing is so fucking funny to me I'm sorry like what world are we living in in which we assume famous rock musicians aren't fucking everything that moves like I thought this was just the base assumption. "cheating's bad!" yes it is. none of you would survive liking a band from- actually any decade if I'm being honest

[empyreansentinel]

thinking about it. nisha was really the only person who walked out of hyperion unscathed. wilhelm lost himself to his cybernetics. angel was bound within the control core. timothy lost his entire sense of self and was abandoned in the casino. rhys was used as jack's vessel and even jack himself was digitized and parodied after his death. his office got turned into a fucking tourist trap. but nisha lived and died on her own terms because of her connection to pandora. yeah, the vault hunters still kill her in the end, but the fight itself was for her own sport, not for hyperion. if it was just about protecting jack's interests, she would have never let the vault hunters touch lynchwood's bank or the mines. she would have killed them the second they stepped foot into her town, but she didn't. its why i think the ambush is such a miss on her character. she would have done it herself, win or lose. but i also think it was only a matter of time until hyperion got her too. if jack had won in the end he would have turned on lynchwood as well. there are no exceptions to fascism. and nisha would have fought back because, like jack, she holds her personal ideals above whatever love they might have had.

I need someone to estimate the net casualties of junmei's divorce. It's in the millions for sure, the question is just how many.

has franco said anything about the incident with liam? i haven't seen any interviews with him or heard any radio messages during the race

Yeah, he touched my rear wheel I think and he broke his front wing. I'm not sure what happened. I know that in turn 1 he braked very late, he passed, left me without space on the track and then it seems he wanted to cutback me when he came back and broke his front wing. So that's that.
