The Throne

The problem with canon CaitVi isn't that it's 'toxic'. Plenty of the relationships in Arcane are unhealthy and yet remain compelling. Silco and Jinx undoubtedly have an unhealthy parent/child relationship but it's still interesting. JayVik and Timebomb have unhealthy aspects to some degree. (Most relationships in the show are lime this, lbr.)

The problem is that the way CaitVi is unhealthy comes off as either clunky or unintentional. Like, the dirt under your nails line could be interesting as a line halfway through the series to show Vi's codependence and attachment toward Caitlyn to the point where she undervalues herself, but instead it comes at the end, and it feels like the vibe is supposed to be romantic, but instead it comes across as self-demeaning, and as the final conclusion of their relationship... a little unsatisfying.

That, and I ship Vi and Jinx in a very platonic sense; all of season one was the tale of two sisters, and I think Jinx was more important to Vi than Caitlyn ever was, and the fact that she now thinks Jinx is dead... The last scene should be her mourning with Ekko, the only other person who might understand what Jinx meant to her.

You might say this would make her 'bad rep' or something because the lesbian ship doesn't become endgame or whatever, but the thing is: representation isn't necessarily about ships. Vi would still be a lesbian or bisexual if her and Caitlyn broke up forever (and so would Caitlyn). They've already very firmly established that throughout the series.

Keep in mind I'm not anti-CaitVi at all and I still think they could have become endgame, but like... As it is in the show, they haven't really convinced me it's a viable long-term relationship and I can see them easily breaking up at some point after the credits roll, and the most important thing to note is that if that was intentional I don't think it would be as bad, but I don't think it WAS intentional.

Essentially, what this reads to me is the writers attempting to tell a certain type of story in which Vi and Caitlyn getting together is positive for the series, the sweet in the bittersweet ending of Arcane and Vi's arc, and failing to communicate that effectively.

They say a Klingon's ridges are as unique as the human fingerprint...

god i know im just drawing the same scene literally everyone else is in my basic af style but i wanted to put together a print of the boys because i am unwell :') so here's one more meager addition to the pile. godspeed jayvik nation.

Thanks for the fanart!

i'm on a lot of nyquil right now

imagine going to burger king and you're like can i have a chicken wrap which isn't a burger nor on the menu but isn't an unreasonable thing to order and they're like sorry we don't serve wraps but we can introduce you to our burger guy who makes the best burgers and then you go to the burger guy and he's like yeah i can make a burger and a wrap but i think you should go to the sushi bar next door because. i'm gonna fuck the wrap?

A cоmmission for @cawsket. Thank you for trusting me with this!

Tbf Viktor did actually meet Jinx in the show and he was remarkably forgiving considering the circumstances. I think he would act pretty normal about it most of the time except occasionally jinx would say something like 'yeah that song really blew up' and viktor would be like 'yeah. just like you blew me up.' and jinx would be like um. sorry haha. And then every time Viktor wanted something from jinx afterwards like help with a project she'd be like but I don't wanna and he'd be like 'remember that time you killed me?' and she'd be like ok fine. He also does this to Jayce on several occasions

i love the arcane cute fan scenarios of ships going on a double date but I just can't take them seriously considering jinx and ekko hate caitlyn's guts, jinx and ekko have both actually killed viktor at different points and a caitvi jayvik double date would end up with the restaurant exploding and at least one child dead by the pure fact of jayce and vi being on the same space together

U wish ur man was pink and purple like him
