Not some of the people in the comments saying "exactly" as if they didn't watch the SUBTEXT and Implications that S1 Vi was getting beat up (and who knows what else dont even wanna think about it FOR A LONG TIME) with Caitlyn having to take her away so she wouldn't have to experience more trauma again than she already had FOR A GOOD DAMN REASON or saw Vi at her worst in her Pitfighter timeskip after Caitlyn betrayed her (Releasing the Gray, arresting random Zaunites, and not caring about the well being of a child.) And unbeknownst to her cheated on her too.
Also as @srslylini said, which I wanna first give my respects to them for sharing about their trauma experience and I support that you'll safely heal from this. Like they said, Trauma doesn't just go away because "sexy times with hot dictator girlfriend", it's something that will pretty much stick with you, your entire life and won't get better if you're constantly exposed to it. Vi returned to these behaviors while as a Pitfighter because she doesn't know how else to live her life peacefully....she's been so exposed to it and used to it that the only way for her to cope with pain by simply destroying herself with pain....like she was in Stillwater. This will pretty much destroy anyone, it's why that scene is so PAINFUL to watch.
The fact that the caitvi intercourse scene PARALLELS the Cait meeting Vi in Stillwater scene in S1. It's only just pouring more salt in the wound
ALSO can we stop throwing subtext to EVERY criticisms of season 2 as an excuse like I feel like it's so thrown around that I don't even think some of the ppl saying this know what the word even means and WHERE it applies. YES S2 HAS Subtext but it doesnt apply to this scene... WHERE IS THE SUBTEXT??? That Vi is reclaiming her Trauma by said exposure to Trauma because of Caitlyn???
quick rant about the caitvi sesbian lex scene cause whatttt (amazing perfection art btw) but DO but do people not understand subtext? Expositional dialogue? Emotional vulnerability??? Like oh my word the Vi slander is annoying like generally speaking I’ve heard people literally say it’s out of character for Vi to not give a shit about jinx, miss the suicidal tendencies etc but like imagine being in Vi’s shoes. Here you are, expecting to be reprimanded by your then ex gf because once again here you are giving people you care about the benefit of doubt, because you love them that much, because you are a selfless individual that always put the needs of others above your own. You expect to be condemned for choosing wrong. (Rightfully so) But then the tables turn Caitlyn basically admits she planned the whole ordeal, knew Vi would free jinx so ultimately when we read between the lines it’s her saying she chooses Vi above anything else is willing to let go of whatever personal grudges she had in the past towards jinx/any unresolved feelings/hatred for her sister because she loves Vi that much. It’s such a heartfelt moment, Vi realising this hence the whole being-lost-in-the-moment thing god forbid Vi allows herself to be emotionally vulnerable for once to give into her NEEDS I love that scene so MUCH because it’s the first time caitvi get to be “selfish”, instead of focusing on fighting losing battles but yeah lets say vi is a heartless pos for fucking cait in a cell ig lmao
