CAITLYN KIRAMMAN | Arcane – 1.04 “Happy Progress Day!”

The Kiss ✨ caitvi edition

jinx likers: firm subscribers to the malnourished, emotionally volatile little meow meow pipeline, now with neon colors. love her because of her unparalleled emotional depth as a character and the agency she had within her own tragedy but ALSO because of her vitamin d deficiency

vi enjoyers: true believers in huge arms and the inherent attractiveness of grievous bodily harm. love her because she somehow manages to be the literal heart and soul of the story despite the fact that she spent the entire season wearing what had to be her filthy striped prison uniform pants. distracted everyone from that fact by bleeding so attractively

caitlyn connoisseurs: perhaps the funniest of the bunch, these people slammed on the brakes the moment they saw this Mad Hatter/Sherlock Holmes allusion with blue hair and pronouns. love her because she has somehow managed to dodge the guillotine of being rich and a cop by being perhaps one of the most effective portrayals of true empathy and compassion in recent times, despite being built like a praying mantis

mel medarda fan club presidents: soldiers—and I mean SOLDIERS—fighting for our right to love shady politicians who neglect half their city. love her because she is simultaneously one of the best-executed morally gray characters of all time, the most jaw-droppingly stunning collection of pixels ever commited to screen, and has successfully been able to turn a blind eye to both the suffering of Zaun and the fact that she is miles out of jayce’s league.

sevika supporters: cousins of vi enjoyers, but more interested in the one doling out the grievous bodily harm than the one receiving it. love her because instead of being your average Grunt #2, she brought another, crucial layer of depth as an antagonist who was blunt and honest, even though her apology for betraying of Vander came in the form of kicking the shit out of his kid not once but THRICE

heimerdinger heads: he‘s a little fucking guy

Vi: I don’t actually have a last name.

Caitlyn, who’s already mentally doodling “Violet Kiramman” surrounded by hearts:

I think part of the reason I’ve fallen hard for Vi/Cait from Arcane is how unashamedly tropey they are. Coming from opposite worlds? Flirting? Snarky banter? There’s only one bed? An Angsty Goodbye in the Rain? All the hurt/comfort you could possibly want? Gimme that good shit.

I want to scream about how detailed Fortiche made Arcane’s face rigs for 100 years. Look at how Vi’s cheek has a deformer to subtly stretch her skin when Cait brushes it. Look at how her nose bends as it drags on the floor. Look how her neck tendons move with her fast breathing. Look how you can see her throat gulp!! There are literally thousands of other examples of this level of visual care throughout the show, I don’t even know where to start??????

Hmmm, time to die I guess
