"bottom" please consider 🫵 whether the word you are looking for is in fact "submissive" ! because if we decide that taking dick means your personality & character r inherently subservient 😃 we might as well just throw in the towel on the most basic premise of feminism & 🔫 kill ourselves 🎉

Do you think there could’ve been a way for them to conclude the Zaun Piltover conflict in a satisfying way? I’ve seen multiple people frustrated that Zaun weren’t able to fully revolt against Piltover, who has been exploiting Zaun throughout the whole show. I’m wondering as I feel people with this opinion might not like any execution of a peace. That, and or the conflict is way too complicated to not focus on in the finale.

personally, i like the resolution they reached in end of the show. my main criticism comes to the execution- i think the stakes with viktor going god mode and ending the universe took away from the political aspect that was present in s1 and act1 of s2.

people who preach for revolution (whether in the show or irl) are just as juvenile to me as people who want a "happily ever after". the former are just more vicious and self righteous, at least the "i want everyone to be happy" crowd knows their expectations are a bit ridiculous for a show like arcane.

the "things are changing slowly" ending is the most realistic ending the show could've gone for; it is also the most optimistic one. in reality, places that manage to break out of their harmful policies and worldviews usually take a long time to truly reform. there's never one point in time you can point to and say "this is when things got better" cause usually they would get better, then worse, then a little better again, and you'll only be able to see the progress looking back years down the line. i thought the ending of arcane was fitting for the story they were trying to tell, and of course our girls close the show as the physical representation for zaun and piltover coming together.

the message of the show was always showing the human experience: this is why you have such a diverse cast, not just in the basic different sexualities and races type, but in worldviews and ideologies as well. very different backgrounds and how they shape people to be who they are. the show tries to make you understand these characters, even if you disagree or can't relate to them. and i think theyve succeeded in that: ive never seen a show that managed to GRAB people with it's characters the way this show does. like, people see themselves in those silly league of legends characters. even the friends i have who have nothing to do with fandom spaces have very extreme reactions to them- that means they are hitting people where it matters. that's also why this fandom is insane in the way it is.

my point is, the show was never gonna put certain political beliefs above others- because that's not what they were set out to do. they present you different worldviews through different characters and are asking you to understand. that same empathy they gave to their entire cast, and are asking of you as the viewer as well- this is the same empathy the show's conclusion represents. not whos side is right, but how can we move forward as people.

based on that post i saw

[loycos]

i know it‘s been like two years since you posted your caitvi fic recs so i wanted to ask if you would do an updated version? or maybe the nsfw ones? i‘m starving at the moment to find new stuff and the ones you recommended were amazing xx

its been 2 years?! damn, time flies.

of course, lemme give you my updated list! (this time with nsfw edition)

until i touch you and i can't pretend (T) - this is a 2 parter, i highly recommend both of them. if you know me, you know im absolutely obsessed with post-finale vi finding caitlyn scenarios- there's a reason i draw it so much. this duo fics is the closest to what i think actually happened.

cobalt velvet (E)- i think caitlyn's uniform is sexy, vi agrees with me, yet no one in this fandom ever explores it. this is the only fic i found which features it, and it's by an author i highly recommend. check out their whole catalog, especially "and I'm thinking of you", which is a retelling of the sex scene in a way that add extra oomf to it.

The Pros And Cons Of Being A Pillow Princess (E) - .................. no comment

bound to happen (E)- we love some light kinky shit in this house. i mainly like cait pretending like she's not into things she's clearly into and vi teasing her about it.

Guilt, in wanting (E)- caitlyn eating vi out? yes please.

autumn rain (T)- one of the best explorations of cait's trauma imo, and how i think she'll handle her healing injury.

livin' off the system for free (E), a place to drown in (E), Force of Nature (M)- if you like workaholic caitlyn and caitvi doing it in her office.

A Fracture Of Time (E)- the only AU i'll recommend here. basically episode 7 AU if vi was still alive.

in general, i have a very specific taste in fics, if you check those recc's out it'll become very clear very quick. i don't like AUs for this fandom (personally i find most of them ooc) and i prefer to read top vi\bottom cait (top cait is often written ooc imo, not saying it cant be done but in general). if you want to see all my favorite tropes shoved into one fic, you can check out the one i wrote. it's essentially a mix of everything i recommended.

you know cait will be reading toe-curling porn right next to her oblivious sleeping gf

[incorrect-piltover-quotes]

Vi: [sneaks up behind Cait]

Caitlyn: [flips Vi over her head and onto a couch. Kisses Vi]

Caitlyn: And that’s what’s going to happen every time you sneak up on me.

Vi: You promise?

Caitlyn: I promise.

Vi: Alright. I’ll keep sneaking up, you keep doing that thing you do, Cupcake.

I have a mighty need for Arcane on a train.

Hear me out, it’s the right era! Just like Agatha Christie style, maybe a murder mystery for ✨sparkle ✨ train trip.

Jayce and Viktor are traveling to some far off competition or conference to exhibit their newest invention.

Cait and Vi are going on a well earned vacation (maybe under the guise of being security for Piltover’s most high profile inventors).

If you want it to be more AU, Mel is a wealthy socialite and politician, Silco is a mysterious businessman traveling with his daughter, etc.

The first night the sunset flashes by as Vi, Caitlyn and Viktor all have dinner in the dining car. Jayce stayed in the sleeping car because he was feeling motion sick. He wakes up and leaves the car and discovers A Murder! He yells and everyone comes running. Cait and Vi investigate!

Do you see my vision!!!

ARCANE 2x06 The Message Hidden Within the Pattern

[atomicjellyb3an]

It feels like there’s so many more fics where Vi is the “womaniser” or “fuckboy” when CANONICALLY it is Caitlyn “snuck girls in through her window” Kiramman

LET CAITLYN KIRAMMAN GET GIRLS

[angelinthefire]

The most annoying thing about arguments around Caitlyn is that both sides often end up erasing her character arc.

Caitlyn is a character with a very strong sense of justice, who once in a position of power makes bad decisions and does the wrong thing. That's the whole point of it. In season 1 she seems to be on this straight-and-narrow path, and in season 2 she steps off of it.

But then you wind up with Caitlyn defenders who minimize her mistakes to the point of arguing that her actions were a net positive for Zaun and Piltover. Meanwhile her detractors criticize her as if her screwing up was not the point of the story, and it's up to them to make sure she's properly condemned.
