This has been on my mind for years now and I'm gonna say it:
They probably shared their first kiss with eachother in S1 E8 not S2 E3.
I think (and hope) weâll eventually get a CaitVi sex scene in act3 that combines two timelines: one will set in the present, interspersed with flashbacks showing what happened in the aftermath of that earlier moment in bed.
In that case, I think this scene would make more sense (to me) in the second season:
Here, it feels like Vi is asking for permission to kiss Caitlyn, but due to the heightened emotional state brought on by the circumstancesâespecially the loss of her motherâCaitlyn isnât able to open up fully, and Vi knows and respects that. And letâs not forget that in episode 8, Vi left Cait so she also have a reason to ask...
And donât get me wrong, despite loving every single CaitVi scene (especially when they kiss), this particular scene has always bothered me a little:
I mean⊠it just didnât feel like what a first kiss should be. The timing, the composition, the fact that they talk about Cait's mother and killing Jinx - It's just not right âitâs as if it was deliberately crafted to leave a subtle feeling lingering in my subconscious.
And we know that with the Arcane writers, nothing is accidental or rushed.
However, looking back, this scene gives so much more meaning to a first kiss.
It's calmer, more intimate, and deeply heartfelt. This is the first time Vi truly opens up and shows her vulnerable side.
As I rewatched their scenes together, something kept nagging at the back of my mindâespecially during the second season, when we gained a broader perspective on their dynamic. In hindsight, I wouldnât find it rushed, but for the sake of maintaining the seriesâ pacing, it wouldnât have been ideal to include it. After all, it would have been less of a mystery for fans, and perhaps it would have lost its charm. especially considering the next scenes show Jinx enduring the greatest torment of her life just to survive.
Anyway, this was one of my Caitvi theories that has always lingered in my mindâfinally, it felt good to write it down! :) Thank you for reading.
Also, this hint about King Princess would make so much sense.(for me at least)
