“Don’t Sugarcoat It, Cupcake”

the Ides of March grows near

Rewatching Arcane and I’ll never get over the fact that there is no indication that Caitlyn returns to Piltover to get paperwork to break Vi out, doubled with the fact that Jayce clearly had no idea she had done so, which means while she’s still healing from the bomb attack she ran away from home, impersonated an officer (dressing as an enforcer despite being freshly fired) and brought paperwork with her with the intent of forgery originally just to hopefully get a name from a prisoner because she was obsessively overconfident of the fact she’s a better detective than anyone else. Absolutely tickles me.

Thinking about this again and how Caitlyn’s original motivation isn’t revenge for being blown up, isn’t concerns over the Enforcer’s incompetency towards the case or suspicion of corruption in the force. The catalyst isn’t people died or a potential WMD got stolen. No, what finally gave her the push to break several laws without giving a fuck, diving headfirst into trying to solve a mass-murder/drug smuggling conspiracy to first and foremost prove herself, was being offered a desk job.

"this is what boys will be boys should mean!" "real masculinity is about being a protector!" "dudes rock!"

the reason surrogacy warrants particular scrutiny, aside the fact that its roots are literally chattel slavery lol, is that it is a contractual arrangement premised on the basically total surrender of bodily autonomy. it transforms a human body into a site of continuous, high risk labor with consequences that cannot be paused or meaningfully mitigated
