Fav arcane scene??
...the caitvi jail scene....BUT HEAR ME OUT
okay no other sapphic scene in animation has ever been this well done and thought out- for once it didn't feel like it was being catered to men who fetishize lesbian relationships- this felt real and written for queer women. the details and the subtext of their dialogue before is so important- I could write an essay on subtext in arcane because its insane- as someone in screenwriting classes I could never do what the arcane writers did.
AND CAITLYN HAD A MOLE ON HER BACK THE DETAILS-
The ultimate lesbian couple

What a day to emotionally destroy me 😀
Slow down, time is not our friend
We love a happy married couple
grips them so hard they explode into a quadrillion atoms again
rebirth
My thoughts exactly:
Jayce would totally share his last name, Viktor, he’s not greedy
Tumblr is weird because sometimes you go to a mutual's page and like/reblog half their content like you just broke in their house and imediately ate a little piece of all their food, tried out some of their clothes, sat on their sofa, and then just left.
And sometimes the mutual notices and does the same to your house.
And that's encouraged here. I love it.
EXACTLY.
it isn't just that "Vi thought Jinx left her in that cell", it's more than that
in a really short time, Vi thought she had both Jinx and Vander back, briefly hoped she might get Caitlyn back, then lost Vander again, nearly died, and woke up to the news that after all that progress things were back at the start 6 months prior, that she was going to have to get between Caitlyn and her sister again and possibly lose both again
she didn't get down to Jinx's cell with a rational plan and a clear head - she was desperately clinging to the last hope she had to make things right (in her head, right meaning = having both Jinx and Caitlyn in her life)
yes, she thought Caitlyn would be angry at her, but she also hoped that if Jinx redeemed herself in the eyes of Piltover, she might redeem herself in Cait's eyes too somewhere down the line
was it a good, rational plan? nope. but at that point Vi was one Warwick away from having a complete mental breakdown herself and she was running out of time (the war with Noxus being on their doorstep and all)
and then, not only did Jinx reject that plan, she punched her and locked her in that cell, separating them again. It doesn't matter what words Jinx used in that moment, doesn't matter what she said - Vi could hear her words, see her attitude, but she wasn't in the headspace necessary to listen. She was too caught up in her own grief and despair to pay attention!
she had been clinging to one last hope and she lost it - thought she had lost everyone, for good this time, and that it was her fault. she was basically back in prison (literally thanks to Jinx, but this was also pulling her back to how she felt after her initial separation with Powder in S1)
really, it's no wonder she had such a strong reaction to Caitlyn afterwards
I have so many thoughts about this, I don't even know which one I should write in the caption.
Everything is beautiful. Every time someone gets to say those words, even in private or just to themselves, the world heals. And I'm glad.
a conclusion to bottom jayce week hehe
