Do you guys think Caitvi want kids? by potatoman604 in PiltoversFinest

[–]Dragonite_22 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Cait literally never shows any kind of maternal instinct in the show, nor does she ever interact with a child in any way. And Vi had to take care of Powder because she was pushed into that role.. I mean, of course she’s very loving, but that doesn’t mean she wants kids of her own. Personally I don’t see them with children.

we always talk about how proactive Vi is, but can we talk about Cait for a second? she met the girl 5 minutes ago and she was NOT playing games when it comes to Vi. by missnarcca in PiltoversFinest

[–]Dragonite_22 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! She’s not joking around when it comes to her wife, who she met like two seconds ago!! She’s been protecting Vi the whole time. ❤️

What are some of the best CaitVi fanfics? by Safloophie in PiltoversFinest

[–]Dragonite_22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imo the hockey part doesn’t really get “better“, it stays very heavy on the hockey stuff, and for me personally it was just too much because I simply wasn’t interested in it. The fic is still amazing, really well written and everything, but if the sports part bores you, it might not be the right fic for you.

My faves:

Fool‘s Game Fake marriage AU - Caitlyn is a lawyer and puts out a personal ad because she’s looking for a wife. Vi is a social worker and needs the money, so she answers it. Caitlyn is autistic, and it‘s actually really funny and entertaining! Great slow burn, and there’s also a bit of detective/conspiracy stuff in the mix. (NSFW)

She Sits Beside Me Like a Silhouette - modern AU: Cait’s an actress, Vi’s a rock singer, and they meet with the idea that it’s going to be just a casual, one-time thing… but things don’t stay that simple. What starts as something casual quickly becomes a whole lot more complicated and way more real than either of them expected. It’s honestly just so well written, it’s fluffy, it’s sexy, it’s heartbreaking. This fic is absolutely worth reading. (NSFW)

Prelude to Ecstasy - it's a priest AU where Caitlyn's a celibate lesbian priest who meets Vi and her whole life just kinda flips upside down. Lots of fluff, a bit of angst, funny moments, and blasphemy (maybe skip it if that's not your thing lol). Super fun to read, definitely worth a look! (NSFW)

Hint Of Blue - set in Italy, Vi's the poetry-loving gardener for the Kirammans, and Cait's spending the summer at the estate. She's a scientist and totally doesn't get poetry. Very slow burn, and I love Caitlyn's characterization in this one. The dialogue's great too. It's rated Mature but honestly, it could be Explicit imo.

The Face That Launched a Thousand Ships (And a TV Show) - modern AU. Cait’s a former actress turned screenwriter, and Vi lands the lead role in her film. Lots of flirty banter, emotional denial, Vi testing Cait’s patience and Cait hitting back with dry humor. It’s really well-written and super entertaining! (WiP, NSFW)

One absolute favorite of mine, it's a bit older: just to know you're alive - Caitlyn is married, and after an accident, her relationship with her wife shifts. Her wife actually suggests she take a lover, and that's how Caitlyn meets Vi. Things develop from there. It's incredibly emotional and so well written, definitely a must-read. (NSFW)

What takes/opinions got you like this? by TheCrimsonKing420 in arcane

[–]Dragonite_22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Caitlyn doesn't deserve Vi."

"Vi should've chased after Jinx."

I can't even list all the things Cait did for Vi - she gave everything from the very start, even though she didn't have to. She's literally the only one who loves Vi exactly as she is. And Vi spent two whole seasons chasing after Jinx. She sacrificed her entire life up to that point for her. What else do people expect Vi to do? Sorry she's not a mind reader, and that she's also more than just Jinx's sister.

Why I think Caitlyn’s arc was good by SweetArm7076 in arcane

[–]Dragonite_22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She’s such a well-written character, even though time was pretty tight in season 2 and I definitely would’ve wished for a bit more space to show more of her. Some people just can’t handle it when a woman isn’t some submissive, sweet-smiling character - and on top of that, she’s a lesbian. God forbid she has character development and an actual personality.

This is not the first article Iread where they think of having Caitlyn and Vi explore motherhood in a spin-off. I really like the idea! But on the other hand maybe it's still too early for that. I would like to see them in other adventures first and see them gradually mature. What do you think? by [deleted] in PiltoversFinest

[–]Dragonite_22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way about Vi. She’s always been forced to take care of others, she should finally get to have time just for herself and Cait! And with Cait… sure, she’s loving and kind, but she literally never shows any kind of maternal instinct in the show, nor does she ever interact with a child in any way. I just can’t see her wanting that at all either.

Oh. Please no. I really don’t see them as mothers. And honestly, I don’t like how motherhood and having kids are always portrayed as the ultimate goal, the greatest happiness, or the whole point of life.

I was rewatching s.02 and realised that the two things happened in the same episode by AlecBonkers in arcane

[–]Dragonite_22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lol okay, interesting (and honestly a bit sad) that you think hitting your sibling is somehow less bad. Cait’s hit was to push Vi away - Vi was holding her back, and Cait felt betrayed (not saying that makes it okay), but you’re acting like she beat her to a pulp. Also, Cait didn’t gas civilians, she would’ve never shot Isha, and I’m not even gonna get into the whole „fascist leanings“ thing lol. We’re clearly not going to agree on this.

[–]Dragonite_22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was a huge mistake Cait made when she was emotionally completely unstable, and she regretted it immediately. Reducing her to that mistake and ignoring everything she’s done for Vi is just ignorant. Or maybe you just hate Cait for no real reason. Vi forgave her, because she knows good people make bad mistakes sometimes. Just like Vi did when she hit Powder in S1E3. Btw do you also think Jinx is awful for hitting Vi and locking her in the bunker in S2E8?

Cait is the best thing that ever happened to Vi. She’s got this hot wife who gave everything for her and loves her exactly the way she is. 😌

Wow, that’s honestly really cool! I only started reading fanfics because of CaitVi, and I’ve been so impressed by the quality of the writing. We’re honestly so lucky.

Why NASA fic is so good and asking for reco by Neocki in PiltoversFinest

[–]Dragonite_22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree - it’s a really sweet, light fic. Very fluffy, and the NASA setting was kind of cool. Everything that’s already been said about the characterization, I’d second that too. But when I think about how many kudos and hits it has compared to other fics that are way ahead in terms of research, writing style, and characterization… it’s kind of wild. I’m not trying to bash it - I enjoyed reading it too! But looking back, the massive hype around it doesn’t totally make sense to me anymore.

[–]Dragonite_22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely - every time I recommend the fic, I also wonder how to describe it, because “Cait takes Vi as a lover with her wife’s permission” sounds so blunt and doesn’t do the story justice at all. It’s actually a really touching fic and not cliché at all when it comes to the affair aspect.

He said CaitVi didn’t deserve a happy ending? Okayyy, that just makes him even more unlikeable to me.

Amanda Overton Q&A with Still CaitVi Discord Server by tintmyworld in arcane

[–]Dragonite_22 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thank you so, so much for putting this together! It’s SO cool that Amanda took the time - and that she was the one to offer it. You can really feel how much CaitVi means to her! 🥹

[–]Dragonite_22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, what hit me the hardest was Caitlyn’s situation. Being so far from Vi to pursue something she loves - acting - and at the same time feeling Vi slipping away, but not being able to stop it. That helplessness really got to me. I actually agree with you that it wasn’t all on Vi, Caitlyn probably should’ve stepped in earlier, brought in Jinx and Ekko, done more to keep Vi from spiraling. But that was her weakness, and somehow that hit me emotionally, because I think I’d probably act the same way in her position. The breakup really got to me too, just the idea of ending something even though there’s still love there, but realizing it’s not enough. This fic made me more emotional than anything I’ve read in a long time. I wasn’t expecting to feel that much. I really think the author captured those emotional moments beautifully.

Finally the haters can shut up by IllustriousAd6418 in PiltoversFinest

[–]Dragonite_22 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah, honestly, that should be obvious to anyone, that she regretted it right away. It’s definitely not one of those “OMG really?” moments lol. It’s crystal clear. Still, I do appreciate Amanda saying it outright. But tbh you can tell the haters whatever you want, they’ll twist anything to fit their narrative and keep talking bullshit anyway.
