(Viktor very much has his emotions back)

Battling through the mortifying ordeal of exposing my Twitter acc cause, unfortunately, I needed to share this comment I wrote because????? The pieces just clicked in place for me seeing that user’s post

Of course Jayce was able to grit his teeth and shoot Viktor at the commune, even though every fiber of his being was (literally) screaming at him not to—

Of course he rejected Viktor’s invitation in the council room, even though I’m sure he almost rejoiced when Viktor called him his partner again—

Of course he willingly gave up his life, didn’t fight as Viktor took over his mind even if it risked him being ascended and trapped forever as a statue, never able to think or move or breathe, a prisoner of his own body—

*cue Jayce walking in looking like THIS*

Viktor: …change of plans 🥴

*insert THE most homoerotic fight scene in history*

Oh you can NOT just leave this in the tags bestie

Something something “Gay sex wouldn’t fix this situation” WRONG. I think in this case it absolutely could have. I think they could have at least given it a shot (or two. Or three. Then take a break afterward to talk things through. Then one more time just to be safe)

cred obviously to @/elijahjamss on twt/x

Some notes for a post canon story for arcane! I’m coping. This pbbly wont get written but it’s super fun to daydream about, and yall know how I love daydreaming.

(Anyways i think that vi should have a cool jacket in every new arc like how jinx has a new haircut.)

((Story ideas include; Jinx finally decides to send a postcard from demacia, of all places. Caitlyn is a reformed war criminal trying to not continue war criminalling. Vi gets embroiled in political machinations on accident (all she wanted to do was plant some trees). Ekko is once again the mvp.))

Once Vi is back in Cait's life, she completely changes her attitude towards Maddie.

Also, those pillows next to Vi? Was Cait sat there waiting for Vi to recover? Did she casually fall asleep next to Vi? I will pretend that was the case.

Cait flinches away when Maddie touches her hand and Cait calls is "consoling" and that to me sounds like that's all that Maddie was.

She was there to console her when she was heartbroken from not only losing her mother but also hurting Vi and losing Vi, the woman she was falling in love with.

Her tone towards Maddie is commanding and it even surprises Maddie but I think deep down Maddie knows she can't compete with Vi. I love that Cait interrupts her before Maddie even puts hands on Vi, I find it funny it's almost like "I can't let my rebound touch my Vi"

(also how fit is Cait in this scene)

What I love is that Vi is not even moving out of Maddie's way, she doesn't even look at Maddie. Probably because she's an enforcer, never really liked her when she first met her either and I just love that Vi's entire focus in that scene is Cait.

They both have their say and Cait patiently waits for Vi to get everything off her chest before Cait throws the little boat on the floor. Cait is intelligent, she knew what was going on, but it took her time to reflect and find a better plan. I think Vi also realises that too. I don't think Vi was expecting Cait to be this aware of it herself, but that little moment grounded them both. You visually see them relax and then the real conversation starts.

Cait shares that Jinx surrendered and that's when Vi completely drops her guard and both soften their voice and I love this dynamic about them. They are honest with each other, they don't hold back but also then don't hold a grudge and listen to each other.

Besides, Cait didn't take action as she was waiting for Vi to recover. Act I Cait wouldn't have hesitated to kill Jinx there and then. This is growth and again shows that she has since reflected and prioritised what's more important. Vi or revenge?

Would I have loved more dialogue? Sure, but Arcane does tell a lot of story with subtext and actions, so I wasn't

and im feeling fantastic

fucking fantastic

wanna get drunk and watch american classics

drink champagne out of plastic

don't you want someone crazy like me

y'all let it be known now that this is without a doubt going to be the caitvi song of the century. i just know it.

No but actually for as questionable the context before the scene was (I still think that maybe Vi would have been a little more worried about her sister) I loved how giggly and awkward they were throughout it. Like that hit me where I live. They got to be so soft and sweet with each other after everything, and I will always appreciate that

(Also, that one moment where Cait blows the hair out of her face had no right to be that hot. Like holy shit 😳)

The heads touching being a Zaunite gesture that Jayce, who once looked down upon the undercity, initiates. The way that when Jayce was hallucinating in the alternate universe (most likely with a high fever from his leg getting infected), staring at the fire, symbolizing passion, Mel faded away to show Viktor. No, not faded away. She melted away to show it was always Viktor underneath.

Jayce literally having his leg broken, crawling up from the undercity to Piltover with nothing, gaining perspective of Viktor’s life.

Viktor desperately looking to Jayce for approval for his creation, the “glorious evolution”, despite believing he has surpassed human emotion.

Viktor gently caressing Jayce’s arm as he grimaces in pain as their souls are becoming completely interconnected.

In every single timeline, it was Jayce. It could only be Jayce.

In every single timeline, he would choose Viktor. He would always choose Viktor.
