So

I'm thinkin about CaitVi right, and all you glorious fanartists that are keeping me alive rn, and I'm thinkin...man, I can believe I haven't seen any other skins in the fanart? Like don't get me wrong, league is a hellish but ultimately cool game, and obviously the show and the game are very different, but uh?

Can I convince any fanartists to play around with the league skins?

Like let's start with Caitlyn—

Here's the OG skin, right? And then the Arcane adaptation skin for fun. This is the Caitlyn we know and love.

Now, consider:

Battle Academia Caitlyn—CaitVi college au? Like tell me this isn't the cutest and prettiest fit you've ever seen?

Pulsefire Caitlyn—because what if Caitlyn wants revenge for what Jinx did to the council? To Jace and her mother? And what if she wants a weapon powerful enough to combat Jinx's Fishbones? Finds something in Jace's workshop, spruces it up a bit? What if Vi now has to convince her out of her rage?

Headhunter Caitlyn—because what if she was a villain, instead of Jinx? What if she was let down so many times, suffered too many tragedies and didn't get the help she needed? Villain!Caitlyn au?

Snow Moon Caitlyn—because what if Caitlyn looked through Jace's notes after he got KO'd, and wanted him and her mother back so desperately that she studied the arcane too deeply—became this mage that could use these runes for so much more than hexgates and those cursed blue stones, not unlike the one that saved Jace and his own mother.

And Vi ?

Again, here are the OG skins, with Arcane BEAUTIFULLY adapted from the OG. But...

Officer Vi—because of course, we're already halfway there. But what if this wasn't Vi's choice? What if they had parted ways, like oil and water, and Vi came back to an ambush? Every enforcer in Piltover would've seen the aftermath. So Vi gets caught—tries to fight her way out but even she's been overwhelmed by the army that's taking over the lanes, and all Caitlyn could do as an acting councilmember was pull enough strings to keep Vi out of prison again. They'll work together, and Caitlyn will keep a personal eye on Vi—and it's just enough to save her from Stillwater.

But they've changed, just like Jinx said. Vi knows it would never work between them, and wearing the uniform of those that ruined her life makes her want to crawl out of her skin. Caitlyn blames her for not getting Jinx under control when they had the chance, and now her family is dead.

Oil and water.

Debonair Vi—because now, the lanes need to be reigned in, and with both Vander and Silco dead, it's not going to be Pilties who get it done. Over her dead body.

So she becomes someone she hopes Vander would've been proud of—someone who protects and leads those in the undercity. Helps them instead of harming them. Tries to make peace in a ravaged place, like Ekko did. But now, Caitlyn has been sworn into the council, with her mother gone. They're forced to put aside their feelings and their strife in order to hopefully stop a full civil war—but they have very, very different ideas on how to make it happen, and like Caitlyn, there are certain things that Vi will just. Not. Allow.
