paper & Inklings

Petyr cut a pomegranate in two with his dagger, offering half to Sansa. "You should try and eat, my lady."

"Thank you, my lord." Pomegranate seeds were so messy; Sansa chose a pear instead…

Aren't you worried about what we're gonna have to tell people? All of the lies we will have to memorize and be on the exact same page about? Everything we've done out here? What happened to Jackie and Javi and... No matter what, we can't trust the scientists. Oh, shit. We're gonna have to kill them, Van. And even then, someone could slip up when we get home, and then everyone would know what we did and... I don't know what would happen, but it wouldn't be good for us.

This is Caitlyn telling Vi that she trusts her, trusts that her decisions are the right ones to be made, trusts that Vi is right in saying that Jinx has changed.

This is Caitlyn telling Vi that she's letting go, that she's finally putting her love for Vi over her grief for her mother and her hatred for Jinx.

can we talk about this? can we talk about how the biggest western adult animated show in the world right now has a lesbian couple as its main (endgame!) couple? can we talk about how nothing about either of their characters or the way their scenes are handled are fetishised or reliant on stereotypes? can we talk about how their s*x scene is treated with care, reverence and respect, demonstrating their intimacy and passion in a way that FEELS like wlw wrote and directed it, rather than catering to the male gaze? can we talk about how they got a sapphic artist to create the song that plays over this scene? can we talk about how both of their characters are written so well, in a show that has so many interesting characters but still manages to give each one the attention and development they deserve? can we talk about how their queerness is just a fact of the show - it is never commented on, never highlighted, never used as a source of conflict. they are both incredible and unique characters in an incredible and unique show, and they just also happen to be lesbians. i fucking love arcane, man.

still not playing LoL though, sorry.
