"You've really never used a strap before?" You ask, still bewildered as you watch Vi blush, eyes wide as she stares at the display of silicone cocks.
"I've been in prison since I was 15. Couldn't get one even if I had wanted to." She's still a little awestruck, mesmerized by the rows of boxes. You had come to the store to get a new vibrator since your current one is starting to shit out, and of course Vi wanted to tag along.
"You want to try one?" Vis head whips to face you so fast you're worried she's gonna hurt her neck.
"I- like I wear it?" Vi asks eyes still wide.
"If you want to. I've never really been good at it, but I guess I could try if you really wanted me to."
"No!" Vi winces at how loud her voice is, shoulders slumping awkwardly. "I mean uh- I'd rather wear it." You nod once, turning back to the display.
"Well, let's see. I don't want it to be too big... do you have a color preference?" Vi shakes her head, a little dazed as she watches you scan the boxes before eventually landing on a black dildo. "This one okay?" Vi nods dumbly, staring at the box as you hand it to her.
You wander off to go find a harness, leaving Vi to awkwardly follow you.
"Black fine?" you ask, holding up another box. Vi nods again, mouth dry as she swallows. "They have other attatchments, but I think you'll like this one. It's a little tighter so you can get some feeling too." Vi nods again, watching as you hand her the box. "We just need some lube and then we're good to go!"
---
Vi looks almost upset as she fumbles with the straps of the harness, eyebrows furrowed as her tongue just barely peeks out from her intense focus.
"I thought you were good with your hands?" You murmur, voice barley audible as you move so you're kneeling on the mattress in front of her, hands reaching out to replace hers.
"There's a fuckton of buckles and straps and shit," she grumbles, relaxing a little as you adjust it for her. You settle the o ring low so it's sitting just over her clit, tightening the straps enough for it to give her just a little bit of friction.
"Works best if you put it low on you hips like this, makes it better for you." She nods once like she's actually listening, but really she's too preoccupied with how good you look on your knees. "Vi?"
"I'm listening," she murmurs, but you both know she's not really. "Why don't you lie back for me." You huff, smiling as you fall back onto the mattress in a heap, shuffling awkwardly so you're further up.
Vi crawls over you, her long bit falling down to frame her face. You jump as you feel her hand on you, thumb brushing over your clit through your panties.
"You're really soaked ready, huh? You like helping me that much?" You laugh, head falling to the side a she grinds her palm against you.
"You're such a brat... acting like you know what you're doing," you mumble, mind already a little hazy from the feeling of her fingers on your clit.
Vi rolls her eyes at your sas, slipping your panties to the side so she can easily pressing two of her fingers into you. She pumps them immediately, head tilting at the way you immediately clam up and clench down on her, mouth opening in a soft little O.
She only fingers you long enough to loosen you up, reaching for the dildo as she works you open. She has to pull them out to secure the toy into the ring, trying not to fumble with the strap too much.
You already have the bottle of lube in your hand when she's done. You reach out for it, pumping lube up and down it until it's shiny.
"You ready?" Your voice is soft as Vi shuffles closer to you, her big hands already on your hips to situate you just how she wants.
"Uh-huh," she murmurs, using one of her hands to line the strap up with you. "Isn't this usually when people say to relax?" You laugh, signing as she begins to press into you.
"Generally, yeah," you murmur, eyes fluttering shut as she begins to work the stro into you gently. "Guess you did your research, huh?"
"If watching shitty amateur porn counts as research then yeah, I guess." When she finally bottoms out, she leans down, supporting herself on her forearms. You immediately wrap your arms around her shoulders, giggling as she nuzzles her nose against yours. "Good?"
"Mhm..."
The first few thrusts are awkward as Vi tries to figure out how to move her hips. It only takes her a minute to find her rhythm though, at which point she's quick to exploit it.
"Fuck-" she groans, head falling forward so she can watch the way the strap slides in and out of you. "You were right about the harness being low on my hips..." she mumbles, eyes falling shut as she speeds up.
"Vi."
"Yeah?"
"Just shut up, please." Vi laughs, groaning immediately after. Her eyes flutter open only to find you rubbing your clit, head thrown back as you try not to come to quick.
Much to both of your dismays, you both come embarrassingly fast. Vi just barely holds out until you come, only needing a couple more sloppy thrusts before she's drenching her boxers, whining low as she half falls on top of you.
"Vi, I can't breathe," you wheeze, still half fucked out.
"Fuck, sorry," Vi pulls out, eyebrows furrowing as you wince. She collapses onto the bed next to you, breathing hard. Despite both of you sweating buckets, you immediately stick yourself against her side.
"Good job," you mumble, face pressed against her chest worryingly close to her armpit.
"Thanks." Vi wraps her arms around you, laughing as you throw a leg over her hip. "Round two?" She just grins as you groan tiredly.
🥊 pitfighter!vi who has been sharing her apartment with you ever since she met you at the bar after a fight, both drunk as hell and bonding over missing your exes.
🥊 pitfighter!vi who, even if she barely had space for her own self in that small shithole, made you feel welcome in her mess by letting you punch her bag and jokingly saying "you can scream into my pillows, but just know that they're stained with makeup and sweat".
🥊 pitfighter!vi who let you sleep in her bed for a change. you patched her up after a fight, she let you sleep on her mattress. she could handle the floor for one night if it meant her wounds wouldn't pulse in pain anymore.
🥊 pitfighter!vi who one time went to the bar without you and returned back home completely wasted, crashed on the bed and sat right on top of you without noticing you were sitting there. you didn't try to move her either.
🥊 pitfighter! vi who goes to sleep with her smudged eyeshadow on, but always wakes up bare-faced. she tells herself that maybe she's too tired to remember taking it off, but in reality she knows you're the one who does it for her.
🥊 pitfighter!vi who started eating again. not because you kept nagging her to stop drinking on an empty stomach, though that definitely played a role as well, but because she actually found the motivation to eat when you were by her side.
🥊 pitfighter!vi who loves whispering things to you while you're asleep. she'd sit down on the floor or the bed, whatever you chose that night, and just say small things like "thank you for paying the drinks tonight" or "i'll do better in the pit next time".
🥊 pitfighter!vi who may have told loris that she doesn't think about cait as often when she's with you, and who panics every time you three hang out because what if he accidentally lets that slip out?
🥊 pitfighter!vi who allows you to bind her chest. it happened once after a particularly harsh fight— you took off the tight bandages from vi's chest so she could breathe properly, gently caressed the imprint they left on her skin, and the next morning you binded her back up. less tight, but still enough to offer support in the pit. it's been a ritual ever since.
🥊 pitfighter!vi who lets you cry in her arms when you're drunk, because she knows how it feels like to have so many emotions that they overwhelm you. she would simply rub your back, not saying a word until she felt your sobs turn into gentle sniffles.
🥊 pitfighter!vi who eventually started cuddling up with you during the winter nights. she'd make up excuses like the floor being too hard, or that her back was sore, but her only reason was that she couldn't stand hearing your teeth chatter.
🥊 pitfighter!vi who kissed you for the first time when you came to hug her after a fight. you ran towards her from the crowd, loris following behind you, and vi just... crashed her lips against yours. it wasn't harsh, just a bit too eager, maybe. but it was with vi, and that made it perfect.

a/n: heyyyaaa this is not my usual fandom buttt @wishmoafi requested it and i can never say no to her sooo…hope you guys enjoyed it though!
I can't be the only person who when they see fanfics or a comment where they say that Vi of Arcane would be a dirty, silly, even smoker person, gets angry because I think that reduces her character to such a strange and stupid stereotype just because she is a masculine girl.
I honestly think that Vi would not even be a dirty girl, on the contrary I think she would be super clean and even more knowing that she was raised in zaun and then in a prision.
I don't know, it's so strange, I feel like Arcane's fandom doesn't know how to play Vi as a character, they always reduce her to stereotypes (even within the LGBT community) or they also forget that Vi is a girl, only who is masculine
୨ৎ after your disapproving mother found out about you and vi, she went on a whole rampage. she was screaming about how two girls don’t belong together, that you were going to get kicked out, and that you were going to hell. you were broken. sobbing, you went up to your room and texted vi you couldn’t be with her anymore. she spammed your phone nonstop, and you simply shut it off.
୨ৎ the next day at school, you completely avoided everyone. you skipped each class you had with vi, which led her to text you even more. you blocked her and sat down on the floor, trying to clear your thoughts. you listened to music, watched videos, and even played some stupid games. nothing worked, nothing could cure this sadness.
୨ৎ at home, you didn’t come down for dinner. with shaky hands, you opened up your bible and started reading. tears filled yours eyes and you broke down, not being able to read anything. you clasped your hands together in prayer, “please god..take away all of this pain.” you cried out. nothing. it was like talking to an empty void, all you could hear was your echo.
୨ৎ when vi first saw you again, it was a week after you cut things off. you were on a walk, arms lightly clutched around yourself. at first, she didn’t even notice you. you had your hoodie up and you were looking down at your feet. “hey!” she called out, running over to you. you looked up, your eyes widening. “hey, what the hells going on, sweetheart?” she asked, not knowing if she could touch you or not. her hands hovered awkwardly before she shoved them in her pockets. “i-i’m sorry,” you started, taking a shaky breath. “my parents..they don’t want me with a girl. its a sin.”
୨ৎ that set vi off. “seriously? sweetheart, i love you. my love for you isn’t a sin, you’re perfect just the way you are.” her hands clutched your cheeks desperately, making you look at her. “tell me what’s wrong, baby..let me fix it.” as you explained everything, how your mother was screaming and threatening to kick you out, your voice got wobblier. vi’s heart shattered, and she pulled you into a bone crushing hug. “hey, hey..its okay baby. ‘m here.” she whispered into your hair, kissing the top of your head. you sniffled and buried your face into her shoulder, letting yourself find comfort in her embrace.
୨ৎ vi never fully let go. when you pulled away, her hands remained on your waist, grounding you. “can..can i come over to your place?” you asked nervously. vi smiled softly and nodded, reaching up to wipe away your tears. “of course, baby. c’mon.”
୨ৎ at her house, she offered some of her clothes to change into and you nodded, taking one of her baggy shirts and pants. she couldn’t help but grin, hugging you from behind and kissing your cheek, “so damn cute.” you smiled, happy to finally be with her again.
PAIRING: Vi x Reader. NOTES: English is not my first language! i'm so sorry if it's a bit bland, or if there's a few grammatical errors, but please remember i'm trying my hardest! also, feel free to send requests! i can't really stop you from reading anything..so if you're a minor, just please don't interact with me. WARNINGS: none! pure fluff :)))
ᯓPunk Rock!Vi who plays with your hair while you’re studying.
To put it simply, you were locked in. With your laptop open in front of you, you were sat at your desk, copying down notes into a notebook, trying to make what you were writing as easy as possible to remember. You had been sat there for a while, brows practically locked in a furrow of concentration, lips pursed, knee bouncing. Small habits you never noticed to fix.
You had gotten used to the music Vi was listening to, (or blasting..) the instruments fading, getting pushed to the back of your brain. The only thing you were focused on was the laptop screen, and the lined paper in front of you. The lack of distraction had made you work faster than usual. Though you were pulled from your trance when you felt your hair being twisted around fingers.
Vi had come up behind you, body adorned with a white tank and sweats, hands beginning to smooth through your hair, fingers twirling the strands as she peeked down at what you were writing.
Her hips swayed to the beat of her music, singing along to the lyrics with no apparent embarrassment. “And it went, uuh, and the girl caress me down, uuh, and thats that lovin’ sound..”
You perked your head up from your notebook, unable to resist a small giggle at her antics. You tilted your head up to look at her, who was already looking down at you. Your eyes locked, and Vi only smirked, raising her brows just slightly as she slurred the spanish of the song. (Caress Me Down - Sublime)
“You gonna let me study, or..” you muttered, your hair still tangled between her fingers.
“Just pretend i’m not here.”
You sighed, yet there was no annoyance evident in your face. For now, studying was forgotten. Vis features were your brains current spotlight, taking them in one by one, analyzing them like it would be the last time you would look at her.
ᯓPunk Rock!Vi who loves getting tutored by you. She loves how patient you are with her.
“..And that’s it.” You spoke, sitting back with a small smile.
The both of you were sat in a library, pencils held in your grips, notebooks laid in front of you. You were helping Vi understand something she didn’t, specifically, math—the infamous subjects most kids either hate, or just completely don’t understand. Vi fell into that category.
“..I don’t get it.” Uttered Vi, staring down at the numbers on the paper that looked more like scribbles to her. She glanced up at you, expecting to get teased, when you leaned in closer, and began explaining it once more.
She had always been appreciative of your patience with her, the realization that you weren’t going to give up until she got it filling her heart with gratitude. Quietly, she rested her head atop your shoulder.
ᯓPunk Rock!Vi who lets you try on her makeup if she notices your curiosity.
Getting up after sleeping over at your dorm was one of Vi’s least favorite things to do. She didn’t want to untangle her limbs from yours, to let the cool air fill the spaces that were once closed with your skin on hers. But she knew it had to be done.
With a grunt you both departed from the mattress, Vi’s arms still wrapped around your waist from behind as you lead the way down a hallway which lead to the bathrooms.
You finished cleaning up before Vi, now just watching her apply her makeup, which was a rather short routine. It was only two steps: eyeliner, and applying a lipstick shade that wasn’t much darker than her natural color.
You watched as she ran her eyeliner stick over her pointer finger, then bringing it up to rub over closed eyelids, creating the smudged eyeliner look that was undeniably Vi. She glanced over at you, noticing your gaze on her.
“Babe, it’s rude to stare.” She teased with a small smirk, doing the same process with her other eye.
Your cheeks dusted scarlet, letting out a small laugh. “..Just curious..”
“Yeah? wanna try it, then?” She proposed, watching you decide whether to let her smear black over your eyelids or not. Your obvious interest took over, because you ended up giving her a nod.
Vi’s smirk turned into a grin as she turned to face you, taking your chin between her thumb and pointer finger. “Close your eyes,” It didn’t take long before you felt her finger rubbing gently over the delicate skin of your eyelids.
“..Okay. Open.” She put both hands on your shoulders, turning you to face the mirror as your eyes cracked open. You gasped, before a genuine laugh bubbled from your throat.
“Oh my God…Vi, I look crazy.”
Vi let out her own laugh, nudging her elbow into your arm. “You look cute.”
Likes, comments, and reblogs are deeply appreciated :)
reminder! i will take requests for Abby, Ellie, Vi, and Sevika headcannons as long as they're not nsft!
Current taglist :: @wahterlemon @notlinearr @seasonsofchaos @cherrybomber3000 @ladyybabyy @tabspsps
Vi’s birthday is canonically Dec 19th which makes her a sag. all other placements are my guesses, opinions may vary, these are mine. nsfw and trauma sections will be indicated with red text above them.
(TW - talks about familial issues, parentification, abandonment, captivity, physical violence, mental health struggles (self-blame/doubt/insecurities), parent death, grief and loss - this stuff will be mentioned now and again throughout the post.)
if u want me to go more in depth into Vi’s motives / feelings / thoughts in a specific scene, or how i think she’d act in response to certain stimuli, pls feel free to send an ask! (obvi i’ll be basing my answers on the birth chart i head canoned and explaining them like that - because i didn’t write Vi, don’t know canonically how she’d truly act / think, but i know these placements i picked)
sag sun
again, i don’t really focus on sun that much - ik it’s important but i find it boring sometimes. that being said i love sag suns, they’re probably my favourite sun sign placement. Vi is canonically a sag, but still i wouldn’t put it here if i didn’t think it suited her - i actually guessed sag before i looked up her birthday.
freedom, adventure, and fairness are very important to sags, sometimes it can lead them to behave pretty recklessly. they’re protective of those they care about, like to feel in control but don’t like huge responsibilities (it can make them feel claustrophobic). they often lead with a light-hearted, care-free attitude and like to joke around with the people they love - like tough love and lovingly making fun. sags can be pretty private about personal things, may find it hard to trust easily, but do make friends easily. sag suns are very strong mentally (often physically too) and can be very strong-minded (stubborn). i also find them to be extremely intelligent, though they have kind of a jokester / unserious persona that can make people think they’re not. sags love learning and reading (especially about other cultures, they love travelling and experiencing new things).
Vi exhibits these traits throughout the show, i think sag is accurate for her. I think her sun could be in her 4th house (the cancer house) which rules family. family is extremely important to her as a whole, and cancer influence to her sun makes sense (caring, nurturing, heavy self doubt and self blame, hidden insecurities, etc). taking her aqua rising into account - her 4th house is personally ruled by taurus, which would add some grounding elements, as well as a person focused on re-building, and craving stability.
libra moon
i often find libra moons are parentified throughout childhood - whether that’s looking after younger siblings or looking after their parents themselves - dealing with conflict in the home and always trying to find solutions and middle ground. they take everyone else’s emotions and problems onto their shoulders, neglecting their own in favour of putting others before themselves. despite the pressure, they manage to stay level headed and warm, give great advice, and are good listeners. they dislike talking about themselves and their own issues, which can lead to internalised shame and self-hatred (never thinking they’re good enough, blaming themselves for everything).
libra moons are extremely nurturing and kind - but also feel comfortable putting people in their place. they’re rarely outright rude and offensive unless they feel someone deserves that treatment, opting for more grounded tactics like talking things out fairly (debate style). if that doesn’t work out, libra moons are prone to self-isolation and withdrawing. they dislike conflict within their family and friend circles, they’re peace-makers and are big on compromise, and seeing the people they love argue/fight distresses them greatly - they will insert themselves and try to fix things. libra moons loveeeeee trying to fix everythingggg.
nostalgia can blind libra moons - they’re very sentimental. their love languages are physical touch, quality time, and acts of service. receiving any of these love languages makes them feel very seen and supported, and that can sometimes make them feel unnerved and unstable because they aren’t used to it and likely feel that they don’t deserve it. i often see libra moons doing everything they can for the people they care about even if they are exhausted. they excel in teaching and are extremely loyal. they need to feel needed and useful, if they think someone doesn’t want/need them they will withdraw and punish themselves. libra moons can be prone to addiction, using substances to alleviate the pain they feel.
they feel strongly about justice, hate injustices and seeing people be treated unfairly, and will step in to try and stop it however they can. they stand up for what they believe in, and are very good at arguing their case. they hate making mistakes. libra moons are empathetic and extremely understanding, they see everyone’s side at all times (unless someone was acting totally unfairly and harmed others greatly). they find it very hard to let go of people, and often struggle with a fear of being abandoned. libra moons leaving before they can be left is something i see allll the time. but even after they leave, they will still care deeply for the person and think of them constantly, often leading them to dip in and out of the person’s life. they can also get stuck in toxic attachments.
anger can be an issue for libra moons, they suppress a lot of their emotions and turn them inwards onto themselves. that build up of pressure and shame comes out as anger, but libra moons actually hate being angry (which continues the spiral). libra moons are very romantic deep down, and enjoy being in relationships. they love hard and cling on, libra moons never really give up on anyone. they can be a little immature / childish sometimes, perhaps a product of having to grow up too fast, but are good listeners and aren’t super defensive when receiving criticism (but it can trigger their self-doubt / self-blame issues).
we see all this throughout the show - the parentification of Vi, her taking everyone’s issues onto her shoulders and trying to fix everything, and then withdrawing when it doesn’t work out - turning to isolation, alcohol, and fighting. i think this ties in to the reason she joined the enforcers - blaming herself for failing powder and seeing jinx as her mistake to fix, especially with the guilt of what happened to caitlyn’s mother. she’s a textbook libra moon imo.
i’d say that her libra moon is probably in a fire house (aries/leo/sag) because a lot of her emotions come through anger, she thrives in anger and confrontation, and it drives her. i would say 3rd house (taking her aqua rising into account, her 3rd house would be ruled by aries), because 3rd house rules siblings and communication and the moon rules emotions - a lot of her communication comes from an emotional place, and a lot of her emotion comes from her siblings (powder, mylo, claggor).
(personal note, i do think the enforcer storyline was bad writing, i don’t think Vi would everrrrrrrrr put on that badge and join the enforcers after everything she went through and how she grew up. it was so out of character and unnecessary, idc if they wanted to make it game accurate. that shit was so fucking stupid. imo she’d find other ways to try and help cait, maybe even going off on her own to tackle jinx, but she would nottttt become an enforcer after they oppressed her and her people her whole life, killed her parents, then locked her up and abused her for her entire adolescence bfr).
aquarius rising (also known as ascendent)
aquarius rising’s are very interesting people. from a social perspective - upon first meeting they can seem very aloof and mysterious, and keep to themselves. they aren’t loud, out-there people, but you’d probably still notice them because of their unique appearance (which i’ll get into). they prefer to sit back and watch rather than jump into conversation. they are very intelligent, have a great ability to think outside the box, and are very good people-persons - in the sense that they’re charming and know how to navigate social situations (but often don’t get along with lots of people, they rather a small, trusted circle). street-smart is definetly an aquarius rising trait. they often know a lot of tidbit facts and are generally intelligent people, fast learners, quick-thinking.
they will join in on conversation when they care deeply about the topic, but otherwise prefer to let silence speak for itself. they can be dismissive and brush people off when conversation is unwanted, but if something piques their interest can’t help but engage. with trusted friends aquarius risings are more talkative, they enjoy getting to know their people, asking a lot of questions and chewing over the answers in their mind. they are naturally scholastic, intellectual, philosophical, but still manage to ground themselves in reality. they usually don’t care about social norms, and feel comfortable being ‘the outcast’ and unique. they tend to lead with logic when they can help it. they can be stubborn, but don’t like strict rules - they’re big on change (societal, personal) and will help facilitate it where they can. aqua risings are observers - kind, helpful, rebellious, unconventional, independent, strong, smart, but can be cold.
appearance wise - aqua risings often have strong and prominent noses, smaller eyes (upturned, almond), and sharp mouths. face shapes are usually broad and wide, narrow chinned, sometimes off-balance. they’re often tall but can be quite slim and sharp. they have striking features, especially captivating and intense eyes.
hence why i chose this for Vi, i feel aqua rising is fitting from social impression to appearance.
scorpio mercury
scorpio mercuries are very interesting to talk to. they can come off as skeptical and suspicious, but that’s only because they have a deeply intense, exploratory mind that seeks truth and authenticity. they are watchers, soaking up every interaction and exchanged word like a sponge and examining it all in their own time.
they dislike shallow conversation, preferring serious, philosophical, spiritual, sometimes dark and taboo, topics. they love when people are totally open (even though they themselves often aren’t), are bold, don’t shy from discomfort or unpleasant things. but humour is very important to them, they love to make people laugh. they enjoy art, music, cinematography, and love to dissect and debate them.
scorpio mercuries are strategic and purposeful with their thoughts and words, they don’t let overly personal things slip, and can seem mysterious and intimidating to talk to. this intensity can off-put and unnerve some people who misunderstand. they value privacy and tend to find it hard to trust others. to the people they do trust, they are insanely loyal and protective, supportive, ride-or-die. they have intense memories for sentimental and nostalgic things.
they can be quiet sometimes, using silence as a weapon, can attempt to dominate interactions and conversations (not on purpose) because they are natural leaders and naturally stubborn in their mindsets and opinions. flattery can be lost on scorpio mercury, unless they care for you and respect you - then compliments will mean a great deal. they enjoy feedback, push and pull conversation, sarcasm and semantic humour. they are incredible at reading others and their motives, aren’t often blind-sided. they can sometimes feel energy - when it shifts and changes, when it’s tense with conflict, etc. they are very hard to lie to. they’re often unfazed by the ‘darker’ parts of others, i find them to be quite non-judgemental and open-minded people.
internally, scorpio mercuries hold turbulent and intense emotion. they are deeply empathetic and understanding, yet somehow manage to keep their head above the surface. but with especially strong emotions and situations, they can get overwhelmed and shut down, silent treatment is common because they can be prideful - they don’t like to let others know that they care about slights or have been hurt, attaching a dismissive and sometimes derisive tone to their words as a defense mechanism. they have a tendency to feel judged and misunderstood, and can struggle with self-doubt. scorpio mercuries can be very all-or-nothing, devoted and dedicated or impassive and cool.
of course skepticism and suspicion is in their nature, they’re always questioning things, rarely taking things at face value. it takes time for scorpio mercuries to open up - you won’t often hear them talking about deep emotions or troubling situations. they are extremely deliberate, mean what they say, and can’t be swayed easily. they are powerful and present, don’t run from conflict, and will not respond unless they have something important to add. they devour topics they are interested in, submerging themselves in every fact and every piece of information they can get their hands on. they can be obsessive in that sense.
they don’t shy from sternness, setting boundaries, uncomfortable emotions, or disagreeing. they are brave, staunchly their own person, and very intelligent. their voice can be deep, rich, sometimes gravelled, and commands respect. if a scorpio mercury isn’t sure of something, they simply won’t talk about it - words are not things they throw around carelessly. they dislike being wrong and can find it hard to admit / relent, but have strong morals and standards that they hold even themselves to. they dislike liars, exaggerators, people who beat around the bush - they value blunt, forward, honest communication. they don’t expect to be chased and don’t chase others, especially not in conversation. to those they are close with, they will shower tough love and loving insults, but give great advice and tender support when needed.
truly knowing a scorpio mercury is a rare treat - at their core they are imaginative, rich, understanding, observing, thoughtful, artistic, responsible, curious, brave, and loyal people.
i think this suits Vi, she can be silent and calculating, jokey and sarcastic, derisive and disappearing when hurt, strategic with words and questions, but underneath it all is very empathetic and caring. i think her mercury could be in an earth house, because she doesn’t often have outbursts of emotion - the only times she breaks down and lets her thoughts out (whether angry, like in the council scene, or upset, like in cell scene after jinx) she still manages to stay quite grounded and thoughtful with her words.
scorpio venus
venus dictates all relationships - not only romantic, but platonic. so the stuff i say here will count for all, but is heavily leaning romantic.
venus in scorpio are extremely obsessive, intense, devoted people. gonna save the sexy stuff for the nsfw section.
i spoke about this when s2 first came out - a lot of people said the sex scene came out of nowhere but it really didn’t. scorpio venus is incredibly physical and sensual, they show love through physical acts and connection. they are super possessive (not necessarily territorial or jealous unless actual feelings are involved), and yearn for deep, emotional bonds. if they see something / someone they want, they will have it, and they will not let it go. one word to describe venus in scorpio would be desire. corrupting, soul-changing desire, in love, in life, in everything. they can be smothering to those that dislike intensity. they want to be everything their chosen person could / would ever need. their connections aren’t conditional, they acknowledge ‘bad’s and ‘not good enough’s and love despite them, often because of them. ‘to love me is to suffer me’ is a lyric that instantly comes to mind when thinking of scorpio venus.
scorpio venus love bold, confident, stubborn people. they don’t desire someone to be softened, shrunk, or triumphed. they want someone brave, loving, kind, smart, and jagged. scorpio venus certainly don’t shy from broken people, i often find they respect them more. they want what they can’t have, what shouldn’t be possible, what they have to work for - blood, sweat, and tears. if something isn’t difficult it isn’t worth loving. they want to belong to someone, and someone to belong to them - not to be abused or controlled, but to be each others completely, experience life together, navigate troubles together, no matter what. that being said, scorpio venus doesn’t ask for much. they don’t put themselves out there with giant love confessions, they don’t cling and ask for attention in relationships - they do everything for you and secretly hope you’ll return the favour.
physical touch and gift giving are love languages - kissing hello and goodbye, a comforting hand on the back or thigh, buying your favourite foods, things in your favourite colour, something you mentioned that they just happened to pass by. if a scorpio venus loves you, you are the centre of their world. this goes for friendships / family bonds too. they present themselves with darker styles, alt looks / tattoos / dark and ragged clothing choices.
at first, scorpio venus can be a tease. they’re very flirty people, they’ll give a taste and withdraw over and over. unlike scorpio mercury they actually do like a chase - to chase and be chased, back and forth until they’re dizzy. that’s what makes victory sweeter. cat and mouse games, intense flirtation, only delving into deeper feelings once they’re sure and comfortable (or just completely head over heels). they can be skeptical and defensive at first, believe actions speak louder than words and they will be watching. but they love hard and fast, despite all the mind games. scorpio venus are loyal, can be delusional sometimes, are rabid in love, and hungry. love cannot stagnate for them, they need passion and movement or it gets boring. they prefer to settle down - prone to extreme, vivid commitment. they are sexy, magnetic, affectionate, tender, intimate, and all-in. do or die, dive or drown. because they love so consumingly, it can scare them and lead them to avoiding, but they never manage to stay away for long.
this placement is literally so Vi to me. through all bad and all good, through all regret and all hope, she loves so deeply and wholly. cait was from a totally different world, in league with the enemy, and that’s exactly what was so entrancing from the start to Vi. cait was like them, but she was still herself; different and unique, intensely caring and compassionate (cait 💔 they fucked u over big time w the writing in s2💔).
Vi’s love consumes her, and in turn she consumes others. unconditional, supportive, locked-in, immense love that can turn sour if she feels abandoned or disregarded, but still lingers.
for example what happened in s2 - Vi essentially saw jinx as a twisted version of the little sister she cared so much about, basically seeing her sister as dead and jinx as tainting and besmirching her memory. but you can see at the first sign of some good in jinx (after seeing isha) Vi falters. she doesn’t instantly welcome her back, but the drive to destroy her fades. and Vi still doesn’t trust jinx when she shows up in her room, but she does follow and hear her out - lingering respect and care she is refusing to admit she feels because she can’t fully trust jinx again after being so hurt by her. same w cait. but those bonds are quick to resurface after honesty and proving actions.
virgo mars
virgo mars are pretty calm people, but can become restless, frazzled, and stressed when things don’t go the way they’d meticulously planned. they thrive on productivity and are very hard on themselves when things don’t progress how they think they should. this perfectionism can leech into the people around them - they hold others to high standards, can be bossy, and frustrated when they aren’t listened to. again, very smart and aware - they notice everything, connect every dot, can’t be slighted. they scrutinise, examine, weigh things out. if they feel confident about something they will jump right in (mentally or physically), no second guessing until the doing is done. if something goes bad they curl inwards, trapped in self-blame and critiquing. what could i have done better? what should i not do next time? how could this have been prevented?
virgo mars, in conflict, have wicked tongues. they can break someone down with their words alone, hardly even needing insults. they taunt, test, rile, prod. an incredible, quick mental ability to fight their case, and stand their ground with facts and proof. they will make you feel small and fragile, hitting weak spots. they are flexible, cynical, and have quite a temper. amazing learners, and in turn good teachers, and are often underestimated and over-preforming. foresight is a skill they hone. they don’t bother with frilly, unimportant things, aren’t sticklers for the details despite the detail-oriented nature of virgo. they prefer to get stuck in, learn as they go, practical and efficient. they are determined, and know how to get their own way. they can be extremely passive aggressive if not in active communication about something irritating them.
physical health is important to them - eating well, working out, staying active. they are usually tidy and organised in their own way, but in hard times that organisation is the first thing to crumble. and loosing their purpose is losing their footing, if they have no purpose they have nothing to live for. virgo mars are service-oriented people. they need to feel needed, useful, need to provide and feel worthy. when someone asks for help, virgo mars is the first to stand up. they help because they can, anything that needs to be done will be done. deeply caring and compassionate, the first to notice when someone isn’t looking well, is struggling, and the first to lend a hand. so attentive and thoughtful, reliable, trust-worthy. despite this they can be modest, reserved, and humble, and will brush off praise (though inside they crave it more than anything).
being noticed means a lot to virgo mars. acts of service and words of affirmation are love languages. a simple, sincere, thank you is everything to them. they’re diplomatic, prefer to debate / argue their case, but have no issue with taking physical action if need be. they are incredibly knowledgeable, nurturing, generous, and patient. virgo mars are often the foundation in familial circles, the glue that holds everyone together, the person people go to for advice / support / assurance / assistance. very calming people.
some may think Vi jumps straight into conflict without a second thought, but you can catch scenes of her watching first, assessing, before diving right in. this is where her scorpio and virgo traits differ - scorpio (fixed sign) is slow, virgo (mutable sign) is fast. in fights, she is calculated and quick-thinking, switched-on, totally at home in the chaos because virgo mars thrive in tough situations, it drives them. i think her mars could be in her 1st house - 1st house mars, no matter the sign, are ready to dive into action and defend with their fists. fighting doesn’t scare them, it relieves them, an outlet needed when all that mars energy sits in their house of personhood. they are dauntless and brave, sometimes totally reckless, but find pleasure in the bloodlet (especially someone with a virgo mars - virgo is strict and analytical, letting go is a necessity). virgo mars love to punish themselves when they feel they’ve done wrong or fucked up - we see that a lot in Vi. virgo mars also never ask for help from others, hate receiving help, and we also see that in Vi throughout the show.
house rulings - an aquarius rising would mean her house rulings would look like this;
1st: aquarius - makes sense because 1st house rules your person as a whole ~ Vi is pretty well known in the underground but doesn’t have many friends, she’s kind of a loner, she finds social justice and fairness very important, and struggles with isolation and being misunderstood.
2nd: pisces - makes sense cuz 2nd house rules material possessions ~ Vi relies on gut feelings. she doesn’t care for material things, she values emotional connections more. she’s very generous and big on sharing.
3rd: aries - makes sense cuz 3rd house rules communication ~ Vi often communicates through anger, is strong-minded, and blunt with her words. she is face-paced and assertive, brave, competitive, and confrontational. 3rd house also rules siblings, with aries this means taking on a leadership / protective role with siblings, but can also mean a lot of conflict and arguments within the sibling dynamic.
4th: taurus - makes sense cuz 4th house rules family ~ Vi feels a strong need for her family life to be stable, desires secureness and comfort. she can get stuck in the past when it comes to family dynamics and finds it hard to move on from things.
5th: gemini - makes sense cuz 5th house rules creativity and romance ~ Vi needs mental stimulation and connection in romantic relationships, she likes smart people and finds it irritating when she can’t connect with people on a mental level. she is playful, curious, and communicative. she enjoys back and forth banter and learning new things.
6th: cancer - makes sense cuz 6th house rules health ~ her health is impacted by her emotional state, we see this in fights when she grows weaker if she’s feeling hurt or guilty. i also find it interesting that when people she loves hurt her throughout the show they hit her stomach - cancer rules the stomach.
7th: leo - makes sense cuz 7th house rules relationships ~ Vi loves hard and almost obsessive, values humour and fun, but also needs loyalty and mutual respect. she is playful and passionate, and needs to admire her partner.
8th: virgo - makes sense cuz 8th house rules death and virgo rules the mother ~ Vi witnessed her mother die violently when she was very young, an experience that shaped her. 8th house also rules rebirth - the deaths Vi experiences throughout the show change her as a person, change her perspectives, and start her on new paths. also virgo is the sign of servitude - the thing that hurts Vi most is her need to be there for everyone and the duty she feels to serve others.
9th: libra - makes sense cuz 9th house rules belief systems ~ love is the driving force in who Vi is as a person, it’s what she always comes back to, and the thing that shakes her foundation throughout the show (when things didn’t work out with jinx / caitlyn).
10th: scorpio - makes sense cuz 10th house rules reputation ~ Vi has a reputation as a cold, violent person but underneath she feels and cares intensely. 10th house also rules legacy, scorpio rules rebirth - her legacy is change which i think is fitting.
11th: sagittarius - makes sense cuz 11th house rules friendships, hope, social stuff ~ Vi is often viewed as the leader, someone to look up to, and can be very wise and protective - all sag traits.
12th: capricorn - makes sense cuz 12th house rules the subconscious, secrets, and isolation ~ capricorn rules limitation and restriction, Vi was held in captivity secretly by enforcers for much of her adolescence. she holds herself to very high standards and is super hard on herself if she feels she hasn’t done enough or failed. she holds her emotions in most of the time and can be very strict with herself when it comes to feeling.
so yeah i think aquarius rising not only fits her physical appearance and social impression, but also all her house rulings 😀👍
Trauma
saturn - i would guess maybe a cap saturn for Vi - this indicates issues with the father, captivity trauma. cap saturns are very disciplined, patient, and responsible people. they have a connection with time and aging, and a strong sense of duty. they grow up fast, have ‘adult-like’ attributes even as children. i often find they don’t like emotionless, factual, cold people who stand for nothing. her saturn could be in her 8th house, as i explained earlier that house rules death and rebirth, it also rules karmic cycles. maybe this is a little on the nose but not only did her bio father die, vander ‘died’, was ‘reborn’ as the hound, ‘died’ again, was ‘reborn’ again, and died for a final time … yeah … that’s 8th house energy right there.
her saturn sitting in the 8th house would also mean she’d be a generational force for her family, the one left behind in the wreckage to clean up and rebuild. she’d have to learn from death, learn through grief. it would indicate intense transformations, intense responsibility, control issues and issues with letting go, and being forced to confront those issues often through violence.
pluto - i think Vi could have a 4th house pluto. pluto in the 4th house causes deep, turbulent, chaotic family situations and trauma. this placement can signify deaths, violent changes, abandonment, and power struggles. it sitting in her 4th house could mean it’s in the sign of taurus (since her 4th house is ruled by taurus) - this looks like disruptive instability, lack of security, perseverance and determination sometimes to her own detriment, a yearning for comfort and grounded relationships.
and since i hc her sun in the 4th house also, it would mean her sun and pluto are conjunct. this indicates a powerful and transformative core identity, someone who learns from their traumas and feels them imbedded deeply into their wholeness. this person consistently faces and overcomes challenges, which can lead to obsession and overwhelm. this can cause an intimidating but addicting presence and demeanour. also pluto interaction with the sun influence appearance - scars, muscles, piercings and tattoos make sense (pluto is very dark in nature, likes to stand out, and look tough).
(pluto signs are generational but there’s not rlly a concept of time (or astrology) in arcane so this is just me applying pluto energy to the house i think it fits in)
chiron - i would say Vi has a 12th house chiron, and heavy chiron aspects to her other planets (chiron represents the deepest wound in a person’s life). as i said, 12th house represents isolation, hidden things, self-destruction. her 12th house would be ruled by capricorn (when taking her aqua rising into account) - this would indicate that her time in prison is her deepest wound.
i can see that being accurate - she was locked away very young, had to learn to survive in such a harsh place, was beaten and abused, all the while trying to survive the recent loss of her father and brothers, and figure out what happened to her sister. that time would stick with her forever. also, she only talks about her experience once throughout the show (i think), when she’s talking to jinx, an intensely emotion scene, and an integral moment for Vi (an attempt at getting her sister back). a 12th house chiron would keep their wound very close to their chest, repressed and ignored, and wouldn’t talk about it even to those they’re close to.
i’m guessing a capricorn chiron too, this would centre her wound around authority (enforcers), having to grow up quickly, a lack of control, a harsh criticism of herself, and the need to prove herself.
NSFW
booyah sex part - i’m talking ab the placements i picked for Vi here. Vi is a fictional character, no one rlly knows how she would be in bed, that can only be perceived and guessed. i am talking about traits of the signs i headcanoned, if you don’t think Vi would act this way that’s fine but don’t bean soup me.
we’re gonna mainly be looking at venus & mars here since they mostly influence ‘sexual’ stuff, but moon and mercury will be brought in here and there where it pertains to the emotional and mental side of sex.
firstly - virgo is a mutable sign, meaning duality and flexibility. venus can influence sexual preferences but when it comes to dom/sub/switch stuff i mainly look at mars cuz mars is about drive. so boom Vi’s a switch if we wanna simplify but there’s nuance to this guys.
Vi would like both giving and receiving but due to the nature of virgo, she’d like giving more. not in an overtly dom way - virgo mars love making their partner feel good; they get the most pleasure from giving because they love the feeling of .. like being ‘used’ basically (but not in a super submissive or degrading way, but kind of in a submissive and degrading way…. hard to explain). they like feeling useful!!! they like feeling needed and wanted.
virgo mars sometimes use sex to blow off steam, and don’t always need or want an emotional connection mixed in (especially since a scorpio venus would feel that so deeply) - i would say she probably did have a few prison flings, but probably not a prison wife - she wouldn’t be able to be with one person super often if she was attempting casual sex purely to release pent up energy.
virgo is a bossy sign, so Vi would like being a lil bossy but would also like being bossed around. virgo = duality okay, remember that when it seems like i’m saying she just likes every side of every sexual thing. so yeah, Vi would like to be in control sometimes, and relent control other times. also virgo mars can be pretty private when it comes to their sex life, you wouldn’t see them going around explaining their intimate fantasies and desires, or kissing and telling.
they get pleasure in seeing their partner moan because of them, like pain (hair pulling, scratches, biting), love to feel their partner sweat and writhe and all that nasty stuff. virgo mars are so horny like they’re just naturally very sexually driven and can go for a longggg time. virgo mars do not like doing bad, if Vi thought she underperformed sexually she’d literally crawl into a hole and punch herself. but virgo is good at communicating and asking for feedback, and are also just generally efficient - she’d notice reactions to things, figure out what her partner likes and dislikes. expect a lot of ‘you like that?’ ‘that good?’ ‘looks like you’re enjoying *this*’ want me to *do this* to you?’ ‘want me to touch you here?’ etc.
and again, more giving, because of the libra moon influence. overall, libra is very sensual, and also very romantic. if she’s in love w her sexual partner, Vi would enjoy emotional sex (cough, cell scene, cough, cough). also with the intense and sensual scorpio venus - deep, consuming, over-whelming, soul-connecting, forget-where-you-are type sex, she’d love that. Vi would love teasing, edging, orgasm denial, all that stuff (on both ends). she’d love not letting you cum till you’re begging, but still being sweet about it, just so she could let you finish and devour the way your orgasm overtakes you, and feel pride in knowing it’s all because of her. scorpio venus + virgo mars = pleasure dom. like i said, she could go for hours.
with a scorpio venus - jealousy turns them on. i can see Vi teasing her partner by being a little too open to someone’s advances (not in an actually disrespectful way). she would like feeling owned - not in an oppressive sense, more so that feeling that wanted, needed, and desired is like a drug to her. and she’d love letting you show her she’s yours after the fact. scorpio venus are very passionate and carnally sexual in nature. Vi would be a little masochistic, as i said earlier would enjoy pain, but i’m not sure she’d like actually being slapped in the face or anything because she has a lot of violent outlets in her life already. she’d like smacking butts / thighs and stuff, and would like being smacked there, she’d like marks to be left behind. she’d enjoy tying her partner up, and being tied up. she’d like being overstimulated. she’d be seductive and confident in bed, wouldn’t shy away from much.
and guys lemme say this, i’ve noticed virgo mars love butts and butt stuff don’t ask me why. fair enough, whatever butters your biscuit, but that leads me to believe Vi may be prone to a lil finger in the butt action (giving and receiving). and hey, a few cheeky licks to the butthole every now and then, sue her amirite. i have also noticed that virgo mars like public stuff (yes, despite me saying earlier that virgo mars are private about their sex life, duality guys duality, nuance, nuance, nuance). because they like secret public stuff. bathrooms, closets, changing rooms, a dark corner, under the table - Vi would take that as an opportunity to tease and taunt until neither of you can take it anymore. whatever happens once you make it to semi-privacy after all that teasing depends on how she’s feeling in that moment - either wants to be punished, or wants to fuck you till you can’t stay quiet.
virgo mars are pretty open-minded, she’d be into exploring new things and wouldn’t judge her partner. the not-asking-for-things also carries over to sex, Vi might feel a little unnerved by the prospect of advocating for her specific sexual needs and wants, even to her partner. though, scorpio venus are very in touch with their sensuality so that may help her. virgo mars crave smart, witty partners. Vi would like praise and dirty talk. again (ik, ik, the girl likes everything, how greedy) she would like both giving and receiving praise. yk those fics where someone cums just from giving head and being told how good they are at it - yeah, that’s Vi. taking scorpio mercury into account, there would be both taunting and more tender things in her vocab. ‘you’re so filthy, look at you’ ~ ‘you’re so pretty, look at you’
strap - yes, Vi would like strap. i think she’d like (you guessed it) giving and receiving, but (you guessed it) she’d like giving more. and yk she has mad stamina. Vi would like rough sex, but there’s always gonna be that caring aspect (with the libra moon influence), and she’d be heavy on lovey-dovey aftercare. Vi would love stomachs (toned, chubby, slim, big, she wouldn’t care). she’d love kissing there, biting there, giving hickeys there. (virgo rules the stomach and digestive track hence the stomach fetish and the butthole fetish. (sidebar, all you pisces mars out there, i know you like feet you can’t hide from me (kidding you guys are super sweet (truth) and normal (lying)).
also she would love pussy like be obsessed with pussy like i wouldn’t be surprised if she sniffs underwear (scorpio rules the genitals and pelvis). she’d be all up in it, she’d love getting covered in her partners wetness, and she’d love … not washing her hands after and smelling her fingers sorry that’s a lot but it’s true. also she’d love boobs too, love sucking boobs, love biting boobs, love fondling boobs - probably the kind of person to go to sleep holding her partners boobs while spooning.
attraction wise - Vi would like strong-minded, confident people who can take what she dishes out and dish it right back. she’d like darker features, and would like someone who looks well-put together and preened (someone who takes care of themselves). i do think with these placements she might prefer more fem presenting people. also she would love curvy people (not an end all be all preference ofc cait is very slim, but it’s there). genuinely tho she could care less about the tits or ass debate, again, it’s all about pussy for her. on that note, she’d love tribbing. she’d loveeeee face sitting, she’d actually want to be crushed, and she’d love getting ridden (strap or tribbing). i think she’d defo enjoy 69ing, mostly she’d like to be focused on what she’s doing and what’s being done to her somewhat separately, but because it’s so ‘sexual’ she’d always be down and also she’d defo get competitive - who can make the other cum first, who can focus better. she would loveeee lap dances and being strip teased cuz she’d love anticipation.
sometimes it’s hard for me to think of stuff so if you have specific sexual questions (lol) about Vi pls feel free to send an ask. if you’re requesting a fic to go along, pls be aware it might take me a little bit (or maybe a long bit) to get to it cause i have stuff i’m working on - reqs are welcome, just expressing that they won’t be answered super quick (but questions will be answered quickly, even in depth ones, if anyone is curious about something).
if u want my opinion on how the cell scene went, Vi probably genuinely went down on cait for ages ravenously and cait would’ve had to pry her off, then cait gave Vi a little nookie in return, then Vi just held cait for ages like a sap and they probably talked some more. probably a round two if time allowed, cait probably took the reins for that one. like fucking Vi then sitting on her face. yay!!!!
———
i’ll do jinx next but i probably won’t include a nsfw section because i don’t rlly see her that way, she kinda gives asexual if i’m being honest (to me personally, everyone is free to see her how they see her and feel whatever they feel towards her, i just literally wouldn’t know what to write - also fan fiction is fan fiction, it’s an art, this is not aimed at ppl who write or read jinx smut at all literally do what you want, i’m just a Vi girl ya dig) also might take me a little bit tbh cuz i’m working on stuff (liar) not lying (liar) i’m not lying i swear
my prose isn’t the best here, this is me just trying to get my thoughts written out. i tried to organise it as best i could, but i do go round in circles and spiral when i’m talking astrology, especially so in depth. count how many times i used the word ‘often’ or some other variant … hah … astrology as a whole is extremely nuanced so i can’t put strict labels on stuff, that’s why.
and astrology stuff is kind of hard for me to write out cuz it’s so convoluted it literally makes me feel like these pics
but also, this was all off the dome so there is literally so much more about each placement that could be said but i can’t think of it all. astrology truly goes far deeper than most people know, which is why it’s so interesting! (but can be intimidating to learn). if anyone is interested, here is a post of me (trying) to give tips on how to learn as a beginner. it’s taken me 6 years to get to this point, don’t get discouraged! <333
a/n: ngl, i’m currently feeling blocked creatively atm sooo i’m just hoping these fluffy headcanons will do something for someone
₊˚ ‿︵‿︵‿︵୨୧ · · ♡ · · ୨୧‿︵‿︵‿︵ ˚₊
ꕥ “No,” is the first word out of her mouth when she catches you smuggling a puppy into the apartment in your sweatshirt. That, and “Absolutely not” as you try to make a case for the poor thing
ꕥ You tell her that you found it shivering and whimpering under an awning, trapped in the rain, and that you couldn’t just leave it there with no shelter. And though Vi still wants to say no, she does feel for the little guy. And it doesn’t help that she’s quite literally got two sets of puppy eyes (yours and the dog’s) staring at her
ꕥ “Fine, he can stay for a brief trial period,” she’d say before getting ambushed with kisses from both you and the puppy
ꕥ You would decide to name the puppy Soldier, because quote, “That’s exactly what he is. He endured a storm and found his way home. He’s a brave little soldier,” Vi would roll her eyes at the name, joke that as small as he is, he’d be more equipped to a name like Snuggles or Pipsqueak. But secretly, she loves the hell out of that name
ꕥVi would start puppy-proofing the house right away. Not because she necessarily views Soldier as a permanent family member yet, but because she doesn’t want anything important getting ruined by a far-too adventurous puppy
ꕥ Despite all the new toys you buy for Soldier, his favorite thing to play with is one of Vi’s socks. She’d be exasperated at first, but then the more Soldier shakes the sock around and around, the more Vi’s armor starts to crack
ꕥ Despite Vi being mostly stoic in the face of Soldier, he loves her. His favorite place for naps is in her lap. In fact, you catch them together just like that one day. Vi sitting on the couch with the sleepy cocker spaniel in her lap, one muscular arm draped comfortably over the back of the couch and the other buried in dog fur.
ꕥ “What?” She’d say when she notices your smirk. “He wouldn’t stop barking. This was the only way to get him to shut up,”
ꕥ But that wouldn’t be the only time that you catch them snuggled up. The next time comes only a few days later, when you’d discover Vi lying in bed with Soldier on her chest; both your dog and your girlfriend out cold. Of course you couldn’t miss the perfect photo OP, so you’d have to snap a photo. You post it everywhere and it becomes your lockscreen and screensaver until the end of time
ꕥ One day when Soldier briefly runs away, Vi is an absolute wreck. In fact, she’s more of a wreck than you are. “He knows his way around the neighborhood, Vi. I’ve taken him for walks dozens of times,” you try to reason with your distraught girlfriend after a thorough search around the neighborhood is unsuccessful. “He’ll find his way home, I promise. He’s not gonna get very far,”
ꕥ but that wouldn’t stop Vi from printing dozens upon dozens of lost dog posters for Soldier, plastering them on every available square inch of the surrounding area.
ꕥ It would only be an hour or so after that when you and Vi would hear that familiar “yip!” and spot Soldier’s little legs as he comes trotting home
ꕥ Vi would scoop him up into her arms immediately and start smothering him with kisses - “Jesus christ, I’m so glad you’re safe! You scared me half to death, little man,”
ꕥ For the next week, Vi and Soldier would be practically attached at the hip, with Vi barely letting him out of her sight for even a second. And the following night when it’s time to go to bed and instead of keeping Soldier in his dog bed, Vi lets him sleep in bed between the two of you, you’d lovingly tease — “Soooo…what were you saying about a brief trial period?”
ꕥ “The girl who said that had no clue what the fuck she was talking about,” Vi would say as she strokes Soldier’s fur and he snuggles even closer until he can bury his face in her chest.
ꕥ “So then, what’s the verdict?” You’d ask, raising your brows knowingly
ꕥ Vi wouldn’t even try to hide her smile as she wraps her arms around her beloved puppy. “I think I’m gonna be the world’s best dog mom,”
ꕥ And you’d smile, reaching out to cup Vi’s cheek. “I think so too,”
