I haven’t done my annual watch of Happiest Season yet, but saw a screen grab and had to draw it with another pair of ladies.

This idea just took over me for the last two days, it’s fine though. Vi would totally be a drummer over a singer

Oil and Water

Rewatch no. 1142 and I can't stop obsessing over the little things.

Long rambling post ahead, with minor spoilers.

So at the end of Act 2: When the Walls Come Tumbling Down, Caitlyn carries Vi to what is later revealed to Cait as her childhood home. Vi is hurt, grappling with the Powder/Jinx realisation, and Cait tries to comfort her. What does Vi do?

She pushes her away.

Talks about distrusting Topsiders, about how any alliance between them would never work. How Caitlyn knows nothing about her.

Vi being guarded in a place where she's been young, and carefree and vulnerable before, strikes up such an intriguing contrast for when they're in Cait's room later.

Speaking of: Act 3: Oil and Water

We've got this beautifully charged moment between these two, away from all the action and drama of the world, where Vi opens up to Cait. It's not just in the dialogue, but also the way they move around each other in this scene.

Vi is left alone in Cait's room, with all of her research, sprawled upside down on her bed. Closed off.

Caitlyn approaches her and Vi turns over and, quiet literally, gives her an invite into her space.

This overhead shot is so fascinating to me because even though Vi is the one opening up and admitting something about herself that she's ashamed of, it's Caitlyn who holds herself guarded, not quite as eager to let her walls down, just yet.

(arms crossed over the front, as opposed to Vi's more open stance.)

Vi talks about Powder and their imaginary monsters, Cait realising the significance of what Vi is telling her, she turns, and only then, does Vi follow suit. Completing this little yin yang circle of giving and receiving.

And THEN. The last juicy bit of this scene is captured in this shot-reverse-shot sequence set up that just takes my breath away.

Caitlyn is set up in a wider frame, with her eyes looking directly at the lens, just drinking in everything Vi is giving her.

In this scene, Caitlyn is us, we see what she sees, and what she sees is Vi - vulnerable, open, trusting, someone to take care of.

We (and Cait) really get to focus on her face, her eyes, her freckles. Accordingly, Vi's frame is tighter, peripheries blurred out, eyes looking down and away from the lens (i.e. us and Cait).

With this final admission, "When the real monster came, I just left her" Vi finally says the thing that's been eating at her, this great burgeoning guilt.

Peak vulnerability.

And Caitlyn is relentless in the following split second, with her eye contact, as if willing Vi to look at her. (MAJOR props to animation, there is a microexpression here, Cait's eyebrows tighten, before she makes the decision to reach out to Vi.)

When Caitlyn reaches out this time, Vi doesn't push her away.

She accepts her hand, lets Cait comfort her, and for the first time, Vi looks up and into the lens i.e. at Caitlyn herself.

This little push and pull dance of theirs is such a soft, poignant moment that has me weak for them.

Not only is this amazing storytelling, the choices made in filming this sequence, the animation - the technical aspects of which I can't even understand, but only appreciate as a pleb, the details ---

They deserve all the props and praise and kudos for this storyline and the way it's made me fall in love with them

i would just like the shake the hand of whoever it was that was responsible for turning *this*:

into THIS

like someone really saw the original vi and went “there is so much untapped gay potential here” and RAN with it

For request: Chibi Kate and Victoria having a tea party with Alice =^.^=

“I think she likes you.”

“Does she now?” Victoria rose a brow, sipping on her chamomile tea from their new matching mugs Kate got her for her birthday. Amongst the dozens of brand accessories and purses, those two matching mugs meant the most to her.

“I can tell. She only flops around people she likes.” Kate stroke Alice’s fur gently. “Exposing the abdomen, the most vulnerable part of her body? That’s her saying ‘I trust you!’ yknow?”

Victoria scoffed, she reached out and brushed Alice’s fur too, “She’ll.. get fed up with my bullshit eventually.” She joked. The fuck are you doing Victoria? Keep that self depricating shit to yourself. Her mind snapped at her.

She looked back at Kate who looked straight out offended.

“No she won’t.” She said softly.

Victoria shrugged and kept brushing Alice’s fur till Kate’s hand held hers tightly. “Victoria,” Kate called softly with the most intense, determined hazel eyes she’s ever seen. “She won’t. She likes you, okay?”

“Okay.” The blonde smirks and sips her tea again. “I like her too.”
