OKAY, SIT DOWN AND HEAR ME OUT.
I was in class today, and someone said, "[...]they are expected to like being told what to do." MY FIRST THOUGHT: Oh, like Vi on that fanfic...
IM SORRY WHAT?
How am I supposed to be normal when the person that got her out of that was Caitlyn Kiramman herself?
How am I supposed to be normal when Vander told Vi “whatever happens it’s on you” days before he died and she carried that for seven years before anyone told her that what happened to her sister wasn’t her fault
THANK YOU FOR THIS IM IN LOVE
There aren't many artists who properly portray Vi's femininity, but this specific piece is perfect. I understand how, due to her muscular physique, it would be easier to use male models as a reference, but often we lose the softness of her features. To me, she represents a lot of this existing balance between male/female traits. And that doesn't get lost in this. This is how I see them.
The focus on this femme/butch relationship tends to fall into the heteronormative trademark (by the fandom, not the writers). They are just two girls with their own identities and personalities. They don't fall into hyper-femme and fully-masc perspectives either. Who wears more makeup? Vi, not Cait. Who has sharper facial features? Cait, not Vi. Details like those are what build layers for them as individuals, and to their relationship in the process.

I will always defend their decisions. As a writer (and as a person with empathy), they did what they could based on experience and fear.
something about vi never wanting anyone in her life to change. something about jayce not caring at all how much viktor has changed so long as he's alive. something about the way vi associates radical change with death, perceiving jinx's continued existence as a kind of necromantic horror—the way jayce would shatter fundamental laws of nature without a second thought in order to give viktor the best chance at survival, in whatever form that may take. transformation as rebirth vs murder, hextech vs shimmer. nature has made us intolerant to change, but fortunately, we have the capacity to change our nature. and then jayce, realizing that he hasn't changed at all, not really—that he is a scientist at heart, and he shouldn't have tried to be anything else. and then vi, realizing she has become someone unrecognizable—never thought my sister would turn bluebelly. and for both of them, it's too little, too late.
