Why I think Caitlyn didn’t ask Vi for forgiveness

(Thank 'anons' for your messages. I’ll try to respond to you through this text: )

The importance of Caitlyn’s “I know”

A key moment in Caitlyn’s character narrative is her “I know”—both its content and delivery.

The content: When Caitlyn says, “I know,” it doesn’t just mean “You’re right.” It means, “I’ve taken the time to think about this.” And thinking is what Caitlyn does best. Her “I know” conveys that she has already had this conversation with herself, over and over in her head. She’s thought about it constantly, she’s already told herself these things, and she’s already blamed herself for them.

The delivery: She screams it with violence, and we can see this represented by the boat falling apart. It’s not just that she has thought about it; it’s tormenting her. Her “I know” is incredibly powerful because it’s filled with suffering.

To me, this is as valid as an apology because asking for forgiveness is outward-facing—focused on the other person. "Asking for forgiveness" says, “Whether I’ve forgiven myself or not, whether I feel guilty or not, it’s on you to decide to forgive me.”

But here, Caitlyn’s “I know” is inward-facing. It means, “I’m not asking you to forgive me because I can’t even forgive myself.”

She knows everything you’re saying, and it torments her.

This is followed by:

"I didn’t even have time to think before they hauled her off."

This line is so telling. Everything about Caitlyn is tied to thinking and reflection.

Being a sniper means aiming and shooting. Aiming is the equivalent of thinking, and shooting is the equivalent of speaking. Everything Caitlyn does is deliberate and thought through.

This is why some people dislike her: as I’ve said before, unlike other characters, Caitlyn’s actions can’t be forgiven easily because she doesn’t do anything by accident.

Then we get to:

"We can’t erase our mistakes. None of us."

Caitlyn speak in “we.”

In the prison scene with Jinx:

"No amount of good deeds can undo our crimes."

This scene mirrors the rage she felt when she threw the boat. In this moment, she’s speaking to Jinx, but also to herself.

Caitlyn and Jinx are paralleled so many times throughout the show. Caitlyn quickly realized that, in some ways, she had become like Jinx. And so, in order to forgive Jinx, she would first have to forgive herself.

At this point in the episode, the person Caitlyn hates the most is herself.

But she no longer has the "energy" to hate, neither Jinx nor herself.

Energy comes from fuel. What she perceives as a lack of strength to keep fighting is simply the fact that the fuel that powered her hatred has disappeared. And when you stop feeding a fire, it eventually dies out. She has no energy left; she has no fuel to sustain her hatred.

It's a particular way of saying, I don’t hate you anymore, and I don’t want to hate myself anymore either, because in the end, that hatred corrupts us/everything .

In her own unique way, Jinx also says, I didn’t know your mother was there, even if it wouldn’t have changed anything. And this too is a strange way of taking a step toward the other.

We have two brilliant and intelligent women who express their emotions in unconventional ways. ----------

There’s also a whole analysis that could be done about her concept of justice and rules, "but I don’t have the energy" to dive into that here. Still, it would only lead back to the fact that Caitlyn doesn’t see herself as the right person to free Jinx (and therefore to forgive her) because she believes she herself is beyond forgiveness.

Brother Gregor never spoke and often spooked the neophytes with his appearance, but he was a gentle soul and a phenomenal cook and knew more ways to prepare a fish than the abbot knew hymns

So… Act 2…

this "detective caitlyn" scene characterizes her so well

a few things i love, in chronological order of how i clocked them in this scene:

fidgets/has to move while thinking

her determination! / obsession. she would rather solve the issue than let it sit while she rests. she follows through til the very end.

LOVES sharing her theories with people she trusts

has no problem manhandling the people she trusts

cares nothing for frilly, meaningless, artificial condolences, regardless of where they're from (throws JAYCE'S flowers down next to the mountain of other bouquets). gift giving is NAWT her love language

detective work is EASILY her favorite part of her job (even though that's technically not her responsibility). solving cases seems to be her favorite thing. she loves being an enforcer BECAUSE she has access to all the information that others don't have (jayce's "the hexgates???" he is not informed on the day-to-day, but caitlyn was because of her job.

methodical, organized, observant, intelligent. she's a natural detective. (i love you caitlyn)

has no problem approaching/challenging authority in the name of true justice. is unafraid of her "superiors" (marcus who is sheriff AND her boss, the council, her parents)

asks direct questions, and communicates with precise language (the "when? why?" right after realizing jayce is a councillor. she does this no bullshit, no frill communication with vi, too, in stillwater, until she realizes that vi rarely gives her a straight answer (also, that vi is maybe interested in her), so she switches tactics and joins in, eventually growing to actually cherish the fact that she doesn't have to be direct with vi. my shaylasssssssss)

again, SHE HATES APPEARANCES/FACE-SAVING/ARTIFICIALITY. she's instantly disgusted by the "ceremonial position" of being jayce's "security". if it has quotes around it, she don't want it

disgusted by her parents firing her / doing what THEY think is best for her (caitlyn hunting flashback with grayson confirms this)

has no problem delivering commands. "Get out."

her eyes dart around when she's thinking deeply

it's really not hard to see how this girl turned into "commander kiramman" in season 2! not a direct bullet-to-bullet, but:

her case-solving obsession grows to focus solely jinx. it doesn't shift. her case in season 2 is "must capture jinx", but keep in mind -- it's the exact same case as the one she is talking about here. she's been trying to prevent all these attacks (re: prevent innocent loss of life) since the beginning of her time as an enforcer. only, in s2, she now has kidnapping, her own near-murder, her mother's murder, the council's near-murder, to add to the list of crimes associated with the case. this is the biggest case/problem/puzzle of her life, and she's extremely emotional. no wonder she gets obsessed.

she won't stop until the case is solved (jinx is captured).

she lays out a methodical, detailed, plan of how she'll use her new enforcer task force.

she stands up to ambessa when she worries there is injustice, and she does so directly, using precise, direct questions and language.

she interrogates singed using the same direct communication. (later, she relishes the fact that vi is still joking with her when they reunite.)

she visits jailbroken stillwater herself because she never wanted to be a puppet, she'd prefer to always be on the ground.

her personal bounty on jinx is likely weighed down by the loss of a parent, and the anger of another (whose protective choices for cait's life were constantly resisted by caitlyn.) she probably feels remorse for the way she constantly rejected their choices, ultimately leading to her mother getting killed, when she "had the shot"

at multiple times in the second season, her eyes get dart-y/move a lot as she's processing weighty information (the iconic "THAT'S ALL IT TOOK YOU ABSOLUTE FAG").

she and vi take turns topping.

and in all, "she was doing what she thought was right", in the words of her father. yes, her rage blinded her, but ONLY IN REGARDS TO ALL THINGS JINX. she forbid the use of isolation cells, ensured the prisoners had good food, questioned why they were even there in the first place. sleeping with maddie isn't a moral/ethical decision, besides the HR implications of sleeping with a coworker. and the instant vi offered her an out from ambessa, she took it.

(her lack of regard for appearances and artificiality ......... she dgaf ab maddie i'm sorry girl 😭😭😭)

anyway pls show some respect for caitlyn's name & character. she's privileged, yes, but also morally complex (both are traits that ALL OF YOU GUYS HAVE if you just stopped to examine your own lives for ONE SECOND). i think that's beautiful, and i also think it's beautiful that they wrote a woman who experiences the entirety of rage in its most heartbreaking moments.

FNAF Steampunk AU

That I never finished because I couldn't figure out what was going to be the story and character dynamics, and the role of each character, and yeah… I also spend many days writing, rewriting and changing thing, I didn't even get to finish the first draft and I got artblock.

I think my problem in the first place was that I wanted to make this AU stick to canon. A mistake, I know lmao. Later I thought of just making up most of the things but having to rewrite what I had already done dismotivated me.

So I thought of at least showing this character height chart I made a year ago. And maybe, idk, some of the wips that I never finished.

Maybe some notes and interactions I wrote under a cut.

If you ever want to ask me about what I had planned for this AU go ahead! Some main things about this story are:

All of the events of the story happens in a week (or so).

Gregory acts a little more scared than what is shown in the game.

DCAs arms can stretch up to 100 ft (30 m). He bends them to write or make shapes in the air.

Sun has some nowlege in animatronic repairs and maintenance due to being abandonent, having to repair himself.

Vanessa/Vanny have a biger role than in the game.

Burntrap also apeared more.

All animatronics are equiped with dart guns (for safety!). There are some places that require to leave the dart guns behind to continu.

Pizza is scuare (this is not important, I just felt like adding it).

Also, first idea and some doodles.

Gregory gets to escape to the locker rooms leaving Chica behind him. While searching for an exit Gregory gets surprised by Sun who was searching for him, and out of fright takes out the camera and flashes his bad eye damaging him for a few seconds.

Sun- "you were carring an object capable of blinding animatronics with you and you didn't use it against Chica to escape?!"

Gregory- "I didn't remember! I was more focused on running than taking a camera out of my pocket!"

Sun-pointing at himself with his hands- "And you had to remember when you saw ME?!"

Monty grabs Moon by the neck and throws him like a stick doing a spinning motion on the air, Roxy chases after him. She comes back carrying Moon with her mouth.

Freddy has an existential crisis by seeing endos. Moon is there awkwardly watching him. He gives him a pat on the back.

The auxiliary arm of the protective cylinder is broken, Gregory has to repair Sun manually. Trying to put his face plate back the nose falls off and Gregory nervously catches it juggling. They look between each others and the nose.

Sun-"..." "Gregory"

Gregory-"..."

Sun-"come on, say it"

Gregory-"..." "Got your nose~"

Vanessa is explaining something to the group. Moon is behind her copying her movements. The others are trying not to laugh. She notices and throws a flashlight at Moon.

They divide in groups. Moon gets on Monty's backs like a gremlin.

Moon-"go gator boy"

Monty-"I hate you"

One last, this is a whole scene that needs a bit of context. The current team members are Gregory, Freddy, Sun/Moon. They have figured out that the safe mode prevents animatronics from acting weird/hostile (found out the hard way in an encounter with moon and a fuse box). Though Moon seems not to attack Gregory anymore they wanted to test it with the rest of the band and found Chica, some things happened, they left her in her room in sleep mode and went to roxy raceway. This begins when they head to the west arcade to repair the service bot's head and on their way they encounter Chica out of the sleep mode but more normal.

(Forgive my poor writing, this was more of a script)

The four of them stare at each other until one decides to react.

Sun–”HELLLLO” Chica– holding her left arm–”A- Hiii, umm” Freddy– “He-hello Chica! What got you here??” Chica– “I-uh…patrol? I- think?? There… There is a child lost in the pizzaplex and we were, like- told to go find him, remember?” “Actually, wait, why are you out of your room? I thought maintenance put you on lock down- And what is the Daycare attendant doing out of the Daycare? it’s not the end of the hour yet- Oh!”–she just saw Gregory behind Freedys legs–”hey! you got the kid-”–flashback of the garbage compactor–”GET HIM”–she points at him with a dart gun– Sun–gets in the way–”WOAH WOAH WOW easy there!” Freddy–”Chica- wait! It’s ok he’s with us” Chica–”T-that-that kid is a menace! He- we should-HAVE to take him to the officer Vanessa–” Gregory–*gasp * Freddy & Sun– “NO!” Chica–”????wha-?

Freddy– “We must not take him to her.” Chica- “You guys kidding?” “These are literal-plain-instructions that you are- just-” “That kid threw me through the garbage compactor!” Gregory–”You tried to kill me!” Chica–”what?! No! I couldn’t do that, that’s against my programming!” Sun–”Uuumm, about that miss-” Chica–”YOU”–points at Sun with the gun– Sun–”?!” Chica–”You were there too!” “You have been with this kid all this time!” Sun–hands up-”Iwastryingtostophim” Freddy–”Chica, calm down, I know what this looks like but-” Sun–”OHMYGOSHWAITGUYS, she’s not hostile!” Chica–”wha-?” Freddy–”what…?” Gregory–”what??” “She’s literally pointing at us with a gun” Sun–standing next to Chica, pointing at her while looking at Freddy and Gregory–”I just noticed! her behavior changed-!” Chica–redirects the gun to re-target him–”you’re getting too close” Sun–ignores that–”She’s back to normal! That means the safe mode worked, we can use this!”

Chica–”What are you talking about?” Freddy–”You’re right! That’s a relief” “right Gregory?” Gregory–”...Yyyyyeah? I guess, yeah” Chica–”seriously, what do you all mean?” Freddy–”Well, It’s a little long story-” Sun–”And we will explain it to you!” “BUT not now, we are in a rush!” “To repair this bot-head so Gregory can ride the racecar” Chica–”...” “‘you serious?” Sun–”yep!” “Say, Gregory! You still want to ride?” Gregory–”uh-yeah” Sun–”Then let’s go!” “TO THE WEST ARCADE!”–grabs Freddy and Gregory and takes them there–”You can come if you want~!” Chica–”...” “OH- GOLLY, WELL” “I guess I’ll just go with you even though I don’t understand what is happening! And no one is going to give me an explanation!” Freddy–”-I promise that I’ll give you a wide explanation once we are done with all this… But in a more private place”

There are actually a couple more of scenes before this one (and after) but I'm not very confident of showing those (or any actually but I don't want this to be buried in my documents and forgoten because I really want to at least make a decent story)

Also, I know that the canon heights for the animatronics are like 6 ft but I prefered my height variety headcanons. Maaaaaybe they are a little too tall looking at it now that I look at it again but, eh.
