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
I would like to add how relevant it is for her to still fall into these feminine characteristics here and there. She is not a man, and that's the whole point. She is not extremely feminine but still wears makeup and tops. Her facial features are soft. Even still, there is no "revelation of extreme happiness, and motivation from being feminine, and how it would be life-changing." (That's just stupid, I hate that trope.)
She just doesn't care. There are more important things (like an upcoming war, losing her family, dealing with being an enforcer, a heartbreak, and the list goes on and on...)
Even if there was a situation/scene of her wearing a dress, I don't think she would hate it. I believe Violet is just too comfortable with herself to care about that. Honestly, I feel like her clothing style is practical and a reflection of the life she has.
can we just…appreciate Vi for a second? For all the “let women be feminine” posting I’ve seen, I have literally never seen a butch 100% gender non-conforming female character. There is always a scene where she is forced to wear a dress, where she learns that being girly isn’t that bad. But Vi? She’s so unapologetic about her presentation. She never wears a dress once. Her fighting style isn’t “oh she’s skinny and fast” like most other women fighters on TV: Vi is muscular and punches the shit out of things. She’s angry, commanding, and assertive. We need more female characters like Vi.
I've been really into CaitVi x reader lately (cuz why choose when you can have both?)
I just don't know how to look for it. Does anyone have any recommendations? I would honestly appreciate anything lol

That's right. Do that. Destroy me.

I'm obsessed (like the whole fandom. AS IT SHOULD BE) with Viktor's moles
only you
“We need more complex, female characters” you couldn’t handle anyone from Arcane
Amen.
You should write the most niche, indulgent fiction that appeals to you specifically, because it will be much more artistically authentic and valuable than corporate slop that has been focus tested to death to appeal to the widest audience possible.
Write for yourself and you will always be making authentic art that has an uncompromised vision, and you will gain an audience that appreciates that.
