I got a new tablet!

Arcane/CaitVi is a lifestyle. I have been writing for years now and this is the first time a piece of media has given me the motivation to write about two specific characters and their perspectives with this insane amount of detail. I'm currently working on a research paper about Silco's Shimmer Business. A RESEARCH PAPER. WITH APA CITATIONS. FOR FUN. I am a full-time college student with two minors and a part-time job, where the fuck am I getting the time to do this??

Well, I decided that my notebooks won't see the light of day. Let at least a couple of tumblr posts save the memory of this.

...

Headcanon that's been roaming my brain since the finale: Vi reads every book on Cait's library, an incredible amount of poetry if I dare say. And after a while she starts leaving notes between the pages of her favorite ones. Not only about the content of the book, but her analysis of their shared experiences as a couple, or just random love letters, thoughts. And I argue that spending that amount of time with Cait does end up changing the way she expresses herself (at least on paper, god knows she won't leave her room if others realize just how much of a softie she actually is lol)

Here's one of the notes:

"The desire hidden on scars left by wars represents the most acclaimed liberty: Love. Loving courageously in these circumstances means shedding the identities that are no longer needed for survival. To choose, for once, one's happiness before those false responsibilities we adjudged to ourselves creates a new scheme under which we build our corresponding destiny. When confidence becomes evident, coherent thoughts are impossible to create. The faithful glances, the expecting laughs, and the warm under my hands wrap reality into a space where loving you is the only thing that matters."

My thoughts exactly:

Jayce would totally share his last name, Viktor, he’s not greedy

You can deduce a lot from the characters in Arcane just by the way they go down the stairs in S1E1 lol

Move, Cait. My turn.

this doodle is based on:

you read stuff on wattpad for shit and giggles where most of the fics there are reader-inserted ones written in 1st person pov where y/n is a barely legal white girl with blonde hair and blue “orbs” who’s so smol and fragile that she’s dependent entirely on this morally questionable guy who’s killing people for a living but for some reason happens to have a soft spot for her.

you read real actual literature on archive of our own where it’s two middle aged men, who are each other’s sworn enemies, with tragic past, trauma and strong homoerotic tension. and while they’ve made each other bleed, killed each other’s friends and loved ones out of jealousy / possessiveness, lied and betrayed and manipulated, the rawness, depth, complexity and slow burn will keep you up all night, haunt you during your day and possibly change your life forever. and also the sex isn’t just smut. the sex is poetry that puts Shakespeare to shame

It's easier to read with Viktor and Mel's voice in mind compared to Cait and Vi's

Maybe I just got accustomed to it, but Vi's voice tone is difficult to portray while reading fanfiction

My mother saw me ugly crying for the Arcane finale. Send help.

(She knows I like arcane, but she's never seen me cry over cartoons. Which I honestly do pretty often lol)

Viktor is a unique character in Arcane. They all suffer. They all experience bad shit. But anything related to him is a different level of pain. Cute fanart and soft fanfics are nothing more than an alternative universe where he gets to experience what he never got (out of fear, wrong decisions, the circumstances, etc) therefore, is sad to consume the content (it's amazing tho) And if it's in the Arcane universe, it's also sad (also amazing). My point is that you can't win. It's impossible to have a 100% happy experience when it's about him, either canon or fanon. You get to the same conclusions based on his suffering.

Vow.

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
