I Enjoy This Headcanon So Much. I Just KNOW Cait Wouldn't Let Vi Forget That Fact

Okay, now I'll start calling them that lmao

I'm surprised CaitVi shippers don't call them Guns N' Gauntlets

.

Oh no, in that sense, I despise them all. She's just part of the list of characters that got blacklisted from redemption.

i honestly don't get the maddie hate in arcane fandom. there are so many characters you could hate on but then you choose this redhead who's kinda just there

how do you look at this little goblin, compare her actions to lady mustache man, miss imperialism, sir jesus, or ANY of the rest of them rich piltovian pigs and decide that she's the one you're gonna hate on?? wtf??

I've been sitting in the same position for hours now (I was writing a paper for school, which means I get carried away and not notice just how odd and uncomfortable that position was)

I would do ANYTHING for Jayce to hug me like that right now.

The best kind of hug is the one that makes your spine crack until you feel better…

JayVik fluff based on me desperately wanting someone to do that to me right now

NOT THE REFERENCE TO JAYVIK, IM DEVASTATED

No, because what do you mean Arcane has completely rewritten the rulebook on queer representation in media, and it did it so effortlessly that it puts so many other shows to shame. Like, how are you going to tell me this animated series—ostensibly a spin-off of a video game—has given us some of the most nuanced, unapologetically powerful sapphic characters ever without reducing them to stereotypes, side plots, or, worse, trauma porn?

Vi and Caitlyn? Their dynamic is ELECTRIC. You’ve got Vi, the rough-edged, fiercely loyal, scrappy brawler with a tender side that could wreck anyone emotionally, and Caitlyn, the sharp, principled, deeply empathetic enforcer with a heart of gold. The way their relationship is built on mutual respect and trust while navigating all the insane, tragic chaos around them? Literal chef's kiss. And not once do we get the tired, lazy "coming out" narrative or the "but what about the gays?" rhetoric. Their queerness isn’t the story—it’s just a beautifully natural part of who they are. And THAT is revolutionary.

And let’s not even stop there. This show handles gender like it’s been waiting for everyone else to catch up. Characters like Sevika, who could give you chills with her sheer badassery and gender-nonconforming energy, exist unapologetically without the narrative ever feeling the need to spoon-feed us explanations. It’s just there, woven seamlessly into the fabric of the world.

So many shows claim to want to "normalize" queer relationships or push the envelope, but Arcane has quietly dominated the space by just writing characters who feel authentic. Their struggles are about class, power, loyalty, trauma, not token representation or forced diversity. This show said, “We’re just going to make some of the most layered, compelling characters you’ve ever seen—and oh yeah, some of them are gay. Keep up.”

Like, the bar wasn’t just raised—it was launched into the stratosphere. What do you mean this level of representation isn’t the norm yet? Arcane said, “We’re not asking for permission to exist. We’re just existing.” And that? That is art.

"If I were orpheus I wouldn't look back"

But we look back everyday- rechecking emails, making sure a friend is still behind you, checking to see if you remebered to pick up your keys. It's second nature, a habit of care.

It was second nature for him too. He looked back, not out of weakness, but love. For what is love, if not to look back?

Writers' passion projects are keeping contemporary literature alive. Fanfiction writers are holding the business on their shoulders fr

Fanfiction writers be like:

"here's the immensely time consuming 100K word novel-length passion project I'm working on between my real life job and family! It eats up hundreds of hours of my one and only life, causes me emotional harm, and I gain basically nothing from it! Also I put it on the internet for free so anyone can read if they want. Hope you love it!" :)
