#im not saying arcane is unoriginal at all because the way they went about it is beautifully unique and amazing

CaitVi in Arcane is so wild because it uses all of these tropes I’ve definitely seen before, but can’t pinpoint to any piece of media. 

I’ve seen a character having an angsty moment by themselves, thinking about redoing something over to get their love interest back. A main character being faced with a villain who challenges them to kill their love interest -- to mock how weak they are or to prove whatever point the villain’s trying to make. I’ve seen a character being pushed flirtatiously against a wall as a show of dominance and a way to establish sexual attraction. I’ve seen a character defending their love interest against an assailant, thinking they can’t be heard by the love interest themselves, only to be caught in an endearing way. 

I’ve seen these things before and I’ve loved all of them, which is why some of the moments we got between Cait and Vi felt predictable in a strange way, but so unfamiliar because it’s never two women at the center of it. It’s like trying to recall a memory that was never even there in the first place.

#seeing cait and vi is incredibly refreshing in a way that would be tired and overdone between a male and a female character #im not saying arcane is unoriginal at all because the way they went about it is beautifully unique and amazing #i hope this makes sense lmao #ramblings #arcane #piltover's finest #arcane caitlyn #arcane vi #violyn #caitvi
