its so funny that ellie williams from tlou2 is catching fades because of caitlyn kiramman, someone from a whole other franchise. a whole four years after. shes still getting sprayed on.
the first three episodes of arcane s2 have done a fucking PHENOMENAL job at reminding us exactly who caitlyn is and where she stands.
in season 1 she’s presented as this plucky rookie cop who just wants to do good. she gets vi out of jail after she sees that she was arrested for nothing, she sneaks around behind the councils back, she’s fighting with her parents. can’t you see, she’s just trying to help!
then season 2 absolutely wallops you over the head with her actual position. she’s not some random rookie cop with a heart of gold. she’s caitlyn. fucking. KIRRAMAN. her family basically run the city. she *is* privilege. she’s rich and she’s powerful and she bloody well knows it. at every turn in the first three episodes someone reminds us who she is and the power the kirraman name holds (if it’s not caitlyn herself). why is she here? she’s a kirraman. why are we letting her do this? she’s a kirraman. why won’t you stop her? she’s a kirraman. why is she calling the shots? SHES A KIRRAMAN. they don’t let you forget who she is. not like in season 1. vi is the only person allowed to forget who she is. vi calls her “cait” and everyone else bends a knee. ITS SO FUCKING GOOD
guys. caitlyn hitting vi at the end of ep 3 is heartbreaking for SO many reasons. it's a deep betrayal for vi, who wasn't expecting that kind of violence from her, from anyone but her, it was yet another enforcer hurting her, it was caitlyn (potentially) hitting vi on the wound she herself once sold her own rifle to help heal, the same weapon she hit her with, but most importantly,
it's also heartbreaking because vi has dropped everything to be the person she thought caitlyn needed; a pillar, a shoulder to cry on, a soldier, a killer; a betrayer of her own people. she became the same opressor that hurt her community, that killed her parents, that haunted her for the years she spent in stillwater. she became all of that, because she thought that caitlyn needed it.
vi has completely, utterly betrayed herself, and it still wasn't enough for her to stay.
this is what i get for going into veilguard with a "i'm going to stick with my decisions" mindset cuz im starting act 3 now and it is beating my ass.
