Ngl, I genuinely panic just from thinking of Caitlyn looking vaguely in my direction...
she's looking at you like that, what're you going to do?
Even I can feel the tension...
in my freaky era
THANK YOU FOR THIS IM IN LOVE
There aren't many artists who properly portray Vi's femininity, but this specific piece is perfect. I understand how, due to her muscular physique, it would be easier to use male models as a reference, but often we lose the softness of her features. To me, she represents a lot of this existing balance between male/female traits. And that doesn't get lost in this. This is how I see them.
The focus on this femme/butch relationship tends to fall into the heteronormative trademark (by the fandom, not the writers). They are just two girls with their own identities and personalities. They don't fall into hyper-femme and fully-masc perspectives either. Who wears more makeup? Vi, not Cait. Who has sharper facial features? Cait, not Vi. Details like those are what build layers for them as individuals, and to their relationship in the process.

In almost every smutty CaitVi fanfic I've read, they develop a pavlovian response to a common phrase they use in daily life that got involved in sex as well, and I consider this to be a canonical perspective.
coming back after 3yrs just as this site is shutting down to post jayviks and name drop my other socials - find me on twt @OmenBairn
fandom is a lot more fun when your goal isn’t to be “that big, popular account” within the fandom but just to have fun and talk about what brings you comfort and happiness by the way
More like "Things I've written thinking about those two":
I hope our names can be together for eternity. In the same way, activists fighting for the same cause are linked by ideals. I want to be part of you just like that. I want to see your last name along with mine in history books, showing the world we are stronger together. We were the leaders and protagonists of change.

(Please ignore the fact that Vik doesn't have a last name in canon. In my mind, they sign as "Viktor & Jayce Talis"—as in, Viktor&Jayce TALIS)
It's easier to read with Viktor and Mel's voice in mind compared to Cait and Vi's
Maybe I just got accustomed to it, but Vi's voice tone is difficult to portray while reading fanfiction
"I really liked the way you write, I would like to see more of it"
Darling, I can pose for you naked and feel less exposed.
