oh.

AND THE BEST FUCKING CAITLYN EDIT EVER GOES TO?!?!?!?!

Edit by m1llerae on tiktok 🙏🙏

I mean...there's a reason why 3 of my major fics are them meeting 2 seconds after this very moment...

THE LIPSTICK. THE MATCHING CK UNDERWEAR. THE SOFT FEATURES. THE NAIL POLISH. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

(Just noticed CK = Calvin Klein = Caitlyn Kiramman?!)

(please don't judge, i'm sleep deprived)

Also, this reminds me A LOT of "Rumors (Terrible and True)" by SunsetSharkbite on ao3. The Actors AU is really good! it heals my soul.

Do I smoke cigarettes? No.

Do I like it as an aesthetic concept? Maybe...

Would I really mind having THE Caitlyn Kiramman blowing that smoke straight to my face? For political reasons, I have no comments on that.

Honestly, I think Vi LIVES in vulnerability as long as Cait is around...I'm totally normal about it.

can i have you for a moment please

YES

(Even the colors match)

Since Cait wears minimal makeup, I can totally see Vi trying that smokey-eye look on her.

………..cait……..vi……….do you see the vision………

Vi's smile. That's it. That's the comment.

the 6 9 is real

THE PIERCINGS SUIT HER SO WELL OMG

So does anyone else absolutely sob at Caitlyn and Vi's sex scene or just me

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?

It's too early for me to process all this information accurately, but I agree with every single word.

Ok so Vander/Warwick is obviously crucial to Vi and Jinx's arcs, but I'd argue that on a both story and thematical level, he also does a LOT of heavy lifting for Caitlyn's arc. In ep5 Caitlyn sees and is horrified by the carnage Warwick's left in his wake and starts off assuming that he's one of "Zaun's perverse abominations". She then looks into it some more and finds out that Singed, the person responsible, isn't actually a Zaunite at all - he's from Piltover, like her. And, like her, he's doing what he's doing for "love" (he for his daughter, Caitlyn for her mother). What she realizes here is that Warwick isn't a monster because of Zaun - he's a monster because of Piltover. He's how he is because of what a Piltovan has TURNED HIM INTO. I'm extrapolating a bit here, but obviously the same could be said about the rest of Zaun, who are only doing what they're doing because of what SHE (and Piltover more broadly) have done TO THEM (even Shimmer is a Piltovan invention, as it turns out). Then in ep6, instead of further perpetuating said cycle of violence and attacking a peaceful commune to get to Warwick, Caitlyn decides to try to save him instead. Obviously her decision here has a lot of layers (love for Vi, distrust towards Ambessa, etc.) but I'd say a lot of it also has to do with her guilt about her actions and her realization of what, exactly, they've all been doing to Zaun and Zaunites. Symbolically, her choosing to help Warwick instead of fighting him is about acknowledging what Zaun has suffered, acknowledging that the fault for the whole situation ultimately lies with Piltover (with her), and deciding to make amends. (As a side note, I think people sort of downplay what a massive risk she's taking here by choosing to betray Ambessa. Like, yes, obviously she's not just doing it because Vi called her cupcake, but she's not doing it as some clever play either. She has literally no reason to assume she won't be burned at the stake by both sides after disrupting Ambessa's plan, she's taking an absolutely huge fucking gamble, and she DOES IT ANYWAY - out of love for Vi, and because it's the right thing to do. Like can we just take a moment to acknowledge how absolutely batshit insane of her it is to go against an ARMY with, as far as she's aware, no one but Vi sort of tenuously in her corner??? And for a guy who's done a lot of damage and is likely too far gone anyway??? Just because Vi thinks he's still in there and she trusts her??? Just because, if there's the slightest chance to repair some of her wrongs, some of Piltover's wrongs, she wants to take it??? It's insane and it's making me insane)
