Scared Vi
The thing I was finally able to put into a thought and into words after staring at gifs for 2 hours straight: throughout all the post-timeskip Arcane Vi is fucking scared of everything that's going on around her. AND she's on the brink of losing it pretty often. I need to rewatch (no idea when I'll be brave enough to ride this rollercoaster again) but I didn't notice it while watching, because, WELL, there was already TOO MUCH to take in, so some more subtle details escaped me. I've caught that Vi is very vulnerable in her honesty, openness and straightforwardness, but that wasn't all to it, and it bothered me! Because all three don't ooze the vulnerability 24/7 and that's what Vi looks like to me nearly all the time!
So I was wondering.
And here's the answer. She's been suddenly released out of her cell into the world that is now completely unknown to her. Yes the air of freedom is great, and she enjoys it, but at the same time there's always this frightened undertone.
She's constantly on the edge.
Not in the least because when things that used to be familiar, like your home, ones you used to know like the back of your hand, change but not completely, it's the worst trap of all, the most confusing and anxiety inducing. How much of what you remember is still the same? How much changed? Can you trust its exterior even if it looks the same? Or would it betray you in the worst possible moment? How do new things work? How do they work WITH the old things? I've experienced it once coming back to my former workplace that changed quite a lot but no one bothered to fill me in so I was piecing together the information for a YEAR. And I might not be the brightest but I'm not dumb either. I'm pretty good with systems. It was BAD.
So I can't imagine how much worse and disoriented Vi must have felt. And Caitlyn took her out of jail to SHOW HER AROUND. Having no idea how the world Vi used to know so well changed just in several years. So she's on a look out all the time. And her eyes, her expression betrays her put up exterior of confidence and maybe even arrogance, leaking this anxiety and straight up fear almost all the time.
She looks like a frightened, lost little girl. And when she doesn't, she looks like a desperate teenage girl who tries to punch her way out of every problem because she's backed into a corner and that's the only way she knows, even if it never helps. (No seriously, the only time it helped was against Silco's thugs and EVEN THEN they weren't completely dealt with and kept causing problems straight up to the bridge fighting scene. Vi's fists kept her alive and safer but they never SOLVED anything.)
I think the way she looks just SCREAMS fear and anxiety when she and Powder/Jinx fight back to back after the torch scene. Jinx looks like she's completely in her element, she knows these guys, she's been in situations like this time after time. It's habitual. She's very confident and almost careless there, moves freely, she knows what she's doing. She might even enjoy it. Vi, on the opposite... Vi, who's all about loose body language, free movement and such - nearly curls up into a ball against Jinx's back, keeping her fists and elbows close to herself. Vi NEVER looked like this again, I think. I... believe she was the most thrown off kilter back then. She finally found her most treasured and the only remaining piece of her past - her sister, and sure, lil Powpow changed, she had to survive, but she's still Vi's little sister!
Right?..
Wrong. Powder-Jinx back then is the quintessence of the trap Zaun is to Vi now: familiar pieces are all there, they're recognizable even if a bit changed, but you never know what lurks under the surface.
And gods does Jinx just demolish every last bit of the ground Vi was standing on. It's not even when Jinx goes full on unhinged, it's when she simply starts blasting bullets all around. When she fights and she's confident in what she does. Vi doesn't know this girl. Vi doesn't know this gang flying around. I bet she doesn't even know this TECHNOLOGY because the world made a whole leap technologically while she was stuck in her cell isolated from pretty much everything. It's like a literal time skip for her. And she doesn't know what to trust, so she can't trust anything no matter how much she wants to. And she HAS to want it, because she looked genuinely hopeful fresh out of Stillwater. Before she saw what her home turned into. Silco really did bring the monster out of it, not just himself or Jinx or shimmer junkies. The whole city. So Vi looks small, and frightened, and I think she's even panicking back in that scene.
She's ready to snap at any moment.
It's very interesting to me, because she looks tough and very mentally healthy on the surface but boooy are there mountains hidden underneath.
Vi does snap, actually. Several times. Her voice cracks as she's trying to convince Ekko she's THE Vi, same she used to be. She charges at Sevika TWICE. I think second time was much worse btw. She literally downs a drink IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIGHT - I don't think it was out of mental stability. And, well, the cry in the end. She won, and it helped nothing again. Even her mental state. Another fragile moment with Vi is the way she looks around her sister. Vi is confident and action-charged by nature, she's energetic and isn't shy to take up space. So she never looks small... except when she's around Jinx. She's drowning in guilt, and this guilt is spilling out.
Interestingly enough, scenes when Vi DOESN'T have this scared/guilty/anxious/desperate look is around Cait. She's either playful, or actually confident, or even RELAXED. Which is... wow, all things considered. Part of it is a put up facade, of course, but only in the beginning. The ship sails itself huh...
A lot of people pointed out Caitlyn is about future in Vi's life centered around the past, but I think what's more important is that Cait is about the present. Plus, she's a familiar - an enforcer, a topside - turned unfamiliar in a GOOD way.
Gods once again I'm baffled at the level Arcane is thought through. These are subtle, small details, expressions that aren't exposed or accentuated like many other ones. They are underlying, but once you notice them it's a whole new tapestry unfolding right before your eyes.
As you can see, I'm very normal about Arcane and Vi in particular, yup, totally cool 😌👌✨
#yes I've watched Arcane just like a week ago what of it#sorry if it's been mentioned multiple times by now#I only watched several essays on YT and none talked about this#so#I'm kinda hyperfixated on Vi as you can probably see#this insane amount of work the creative team put into the characters#gods I'm so glad I can witness this masterpiece#arcane#vi arcane#jinx arcane#caitlyn kiramman#caitlyn arcane

Illicit Affairs | Chapter I: Willow
Pairing: Neteyam x f!Human!Reader
Chapter II Chapter III Chapter IV Chapter V Chapter VI Chapter VII Chapter VIII Chapter IX Chapter X
Warnings: Cursing, mentions of death and disease
WC: 3,4k words
A/N: Sooo.. I kinda did something. This is the first fanfic I have written that will actually see the light of day, and also the first piece of writing (outside of master's dissertations, papers, scientific essays etc) that I have done since probably high school, which is longer ago than I'd like to admit. Anyway, I have been hyperfixated on Avatar recently, ATWOW fully bringing back my love and obsession for Pandora that I have had since 2009. I adore the new movie and the Sully kids, but I have a special place in my heart for Neteyam, so here we go. Let me know what you guys think. I work full time as a PhD student, so I'll try my best to write in my spare time and hopefully I can get this done the way I truly want to. This story is also loosely inspired by the incredible @forever--darling and her "One of Us" Neteyam fanfic, which I adore and have probably memorised by now with the amount of times I have read it.
I'm like the water when your ship rolled in that night
Rough on the surface but you cut through like a knife
And if it was an open-shut case
I never would've known from that look on your face
Lost in your current like a priceless wine
“Wake up, Ace. It’s late already and there’s so much to do today, remember?” Norm’s voice pulled you out of a beautiful dream, one where you were flying on your chosen Ikran, high above the clouds, the worries…this lab. Albeit hard to swallow, you were almost relieved to be woken up, as feeding out-of-reach fantasies and dreams could lead to no good, anyhow.
“I’m up… Jesus, Norm.” You felt yourself rise from your warm and comfortable bed and the feeling of your bare feet touching the cold, hard floor of the living quarters of the lab made you swallow a curse.
“We left you some breakfast, get ready and meet us in the lab in 30, okay? We have the samples ready for you and you can run them after we’ve talked it through.”
“Aye, aye, captain.”
This was your life. You, among a few other people, were one of the only humans left on Pandora after the war took them back to Earth more than 17 years ago. Unlike the others, though, you were born here, on this foreign planet, the only home you’ve ever known. There was one more, a beautiful, feisty young man with a dark heritage, who liked to think that he is as much Pandoran as the actual natives. His name was Spider, and although you grew up together, there was not much you could say you had in common. He was wild and adventurous, has been his whole life; fully willing to immerse himself in the Na’vi ways and almost demanding a place amongst the people.
Although you have your doubts, he says the people were accepting of him, as he managed to befriend the most important family of the nearby Omatikaya tribe: the Sullys. Jake Sully, a former dream walker, rose to prominence as Toruk Makto, rider of Last Shadow. He brought multiple clans together to defeat the Sky People in their brutal quest for wealth and colonisation. He succeeded, after which he became Olo’yektan, leader of the Omatikaya. He is now fully Na’vi, after completing a consciousness transfer that allowed him to leave behind his human form and forever live as one of the people. It had never been done before. Jake was a great man, who became a mediator between the Na’vi and the humans left on Earth. His children, Neteyam, Lo’ak, Kiri and Tuk, were brought up to know English and be accepting of everyone, regardless where they came from, as long as they had pure intentions and a strong heart. Spider was considered one of them. And, surprisingly, you were, too.
Your mum was a medic and researcher, brought here many moons ago to assist the Dr. Grace Augustin and her team in their quest to understand Pandora and its miraculous biology. Your dad, a former Master Sergeant in the US Air Force, joined the RDA for their military purposes. You never met your dad. He died when the Sky People attacked, although no one knows for sure which side he ended up taking. Your mum didn’t even know she was pregnant with you at the time, that’s how new everything was. Your mum loved your dad and she maintained her belief that he ended up doing the right thing in the end. You believed that as a child, but now are not so sure. Nevertheless, you still kept his dog tag, in a drawer at the bottom of your desk, a reminder of where you come from and what mistakes not to repeat.
Your mum died where you were 10. It was the worst day of your life. The cancer, which slowly spread in the beginning, overtook her being one faithful day, which you will never be able to erase from your memory. There is no chemotherapy, no radiation therapy, no drugs that could have prevented this, not here, not on Pandora. Your mum made a decision to remain on this planet she loved more than her own and it eventually killed her. She had no regrets, she said. She was happy to have lived and loved and died here, among Eywa. The Na’vi loved her. She was good friends and a mentor to Neytiri and Jake, both of whom agreed to give her a Na’vi send off. You were there that day, one of the few times you had visited the Home Tree. You remember the pouring rain, falling so hard it washed away the tears spilling from your eye almost as soon as they emerged. You remember Lo’ak and Kiri, your beautiful friends that have always been there for you, mourning with you. Your mum was their favourite aunt. She introduced them to music and films, and showed all of you her favourite books and painters and made sure you all understood that humans, despite their many flaws, have beauty and love and good in them, that no matter what, will prevail. “It will prevail because of you. Because you will carry it along and share it. You will revel in the beauty and fight to bring it back because what better way is there to live?”
You finished breakfast quickly, some dry toast with some fruit Kiri brought you the last time she visited and made your way back to the lab. You found Norm and Max, alongside two other human scientists, Tim and Claire, sitting on chairs next to the lab benches, discussing plans for the week.
“There she is, the brightest of us all.” You smirked at the compliment, raising your eyebrows in amusement and sitting down next to Claire.
“You’ve done great work last week, Ace The ELISAs show promise that Relensa might have some effect against this type of Pandora virus. I need you to now repeat it with the samples we’ve provided and also include a different type of positive control to the experiment, if possible.”
“Will do. How about a combination therapy? I know Relensa is not the only type of anti-viral therapy we have available. Amantidin, maybe? We have to go at this from all angles, you know?”
“Our Amantidin reserve is running severely short, but give it a try. Try a dose-response? Maybe 100 nano molars to 1 micro molar? Try 1milimolar as a positive control?”
This was your life. Unlike Spider, you avoided the clan. You did not want to be the walking reminder of everything they’ve lost. You were happy to sit back and dedicate your life to helping from the shadows. Your mum was a medic and a researcher, one of the brightest in the world. She wrote the book on Na’vi anatomy and physiology, she wanted to understand the people and hopefully help them mitigate losses brought by disease. You continued that work. Although young, you learned everything there was to learn. Not like you had anything else to do. You worked as a scientist and a nurse and a doctor if needs be. You patched humans up, stitched their wounds, ran experiments on Pandora pathogens and tried to find a cure against viral and bacterial diseases that plagued the Na’vi. You spent your life in the lab, and in the adjacent hub, learning, working out and playing the guitar and piano your mum taught you when you were really young. You couldn’t say you loved it, loved being here all the time, but you were content knowing you were, in your own way, making up for your species’ past mistakes.
Around lunchtime, you heard commotion from the entryway. A very familiar voice reverberated through the hallways. Your lips raised in a soft smile. Lo’ak.
Removing your lab coat, goggles and gloves, you made your way towards the origin of the sound. The tall, much-taller-than-you young man picked up a breathing mask from the designated shelf and waved at you with unwavering enthusiasm. You loved this boy. Your brother, for all intents and purposes, your partner-in-crime for all time. He loved you, too, you knew that, and you thought in a different life, in a different universe, you were soulmates, braving life’s tough storms together.
“Brought you lunch, angel.” Your nickname for you made you roll your eyes. You hated it, but the more you hated it, the more he used it so you remained silent. “I thought you could use a break from the stale excuse you guys call food around here.”
Lo’ak spoke English with you most of the time. He took to your parents’ (and his dad’s) culture the most out of all the kids. You spent a lot of your childhood together, hunched around a computer with old reruns of shows your mum loved in her youth, shows and movies that were way before even her time. She said she loved seeing what Earth looked like before humans killed their mother. Shows like Gilmore Girls, Friends and Modern Family were some of her favourites. You devoured them as a child, and Lo’ak did so too, with you. You drove her crazy as children, and drove Norm and Max crazy as teenagers, both trying to understand references and sayings, buildings and activities, games and idiosyncrasies. The Earth you grew up watching and reading up was beautiful, a star in the night sky you will never be able to touch.
Lo’ak made his way to the dining room of the hub, and lay several carefully-packed items on the table. Fresh teylu, cooked over fire and Pandora vegetables, all full of colour and flavour, all much better than anything that could come out of this place. You realise that you are starving as soon as you lay your eyes on them. Before you even sat down, you dug your fingers in and quickly ate some teylu, groaning at the delicious sweet meaty flavour. It was your favourite, and Lo’ak knew. He laughed at your apparent desperation and motioned for you to sit down. You obliged, and you both sat in silence for a while, just enjoying each other’s company and the food he provided.
“How’s training going? I haven’t seen you in a few days.”
“I die a little bit inside every time you make me remember I spend my days training like a little robot. It’s going fine. Tiring, you know? My dad is fully back in his Marine ways. He knows it’s been enough time that the humans are bound to return sooner or later. He says they’d never leave this world, and all its untapped riches alone without a fight. So it’s a lot of military training… if we walk like them, talk like them and fight like them, it might bring us some sort of advantage, you know?”
“Yeah, I know. I know it’s a pain, but he’s only doing this to protect you guys. He’s right. The humans are bound to return one day and when they do, we have to be prepared.” He doesn’t know this, but you have also been training, learning about guns, going through your dad’s old manuals and whatever else the RDA has left behind that could possibly be of use. You use the guns that are in the hub to learn how to aim, shoot, strip field, reload and clean the weapons, so you too can be prepared when the time comes. You might be stuck in a weak human body, but you will not be weak.
“Neteyam’s driving me nuts. He used to be fun, remember that? He’s such a killjoy, it’s hard to stomach being around him anymore. He’s always giving out orders, always making sure everything is in order and perfect, like him. He’s been training like crazy, and sticking to my dad like he’s some sort of fungus you can’t get rid of. Drives me crazy.”
“Hey, don’t talk about your brother like that. There’s a line, Lo’ak. Neteyam only wants the best for you guys, and he’s the oldest. He has to carry the burden of being the responsible one while you guy cause mischief all the time.”
Neteyam, Jake and Neytiri’s oldest, is more Na’vi than all the other children combined, in both looks and personality. Whilst the two middle children, Lo’ak and Kiri have five fingers, eyebrows and a more human appearance, Neteyam is all Neytiri. He’s tall and lean and seems like he was born with a bow in hand. A true warrior, you always found him a tad intimidating. Just like his mum, he has his apprehensions about humans and avatars, and although he used to come to the hub quite often when he was younger, mostly to keep an eye on his siblings, the visits have become a rarity as of recent times.
You wonder how the young man changed in the time you haven’t seen him. You used to be close as children, or at least that’s what you thought. Whereas Spider took to Lo’ak and Kiri, their mischievous personalities a good match for each other, you took to the oldest Sully boy. He was quiet and thoughtful, and he used to look at you like a puzzle he was trying to solve, but couldn’t. He used to sit in the back as you used to play piano, and his gaze on you used to make your skin blush and your heart race. You tried not to think about the pang of hurt that rose in your chest as you remembered that he essentially abandoned you, without so much as a farewell.
“Earth to Y/N, are you still there?” Lo’ak interrupted your train of thought and you were half grateful that you didn’t have to think about Neteyam anymore.
“Sorry. You were saying?”
“I was saying you’re right, I know I should be more understanding, I am happy I don’t have to be the one to carry all of responsibility, but it’s hard not to hold a grudge when it seems my brother was abducted by aliens and replaced with a weird, no-fun replica of himself.”
You groaned at the young Sully’s ongoing verbal attacks, but said no more. Whatever was going on between the two Sully boys was, at the end of the day, none of your business.
“Anyway…” Lo’ak started, a mischievous grin appearing on his beautiful face, “I know something you don’t.”
“Mmm, what is that?”
“I’m not telling you, but let’s just say I think it will make you very happy.”
“Well that’s just cruel. You know I hate surprises.”
After lunch, Lo’ak joined you in the recreation hub, where you kept a guitar and the piano that the humans left behind. You didn’t feel like going back to work just yet. You sat down on the cold floor and picked up your copy of Pride and Prejudice, your mum’s favourite book. The book was coming apart at the seams, worn down from all the times you have held it in your hands, as if gripping it tighter would bring her back to you, even if for only a split second. You sighed as you passed the book to Lo’ak and motioned for him to put it on the table next to him.
“Sing for me, will you? I missed hearing your voice.”
You smiled up at him. Nobody knew you like Lo’ak did. Nobody accepted you the way Lo’ak did. Both of you felt out of place in this world, like you didn’t quite belong anywhere. He has spent many an hour confessing how alone he’s felt all his life. You’d like to think you helped. You picked up your guitar and played a familiar song, one you knew he loved.
“Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind , as if you were a mythical thing
Like you were a trophy or a champion ring, and there was one prize I'd cheat to win
The more that you say, the less I know
Wherever you stray, I follow
I'm begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans
That's my man”
You sat like this for hours, laughing and playing and singing. You tried to teach him a couple of chords on the guitar, which looked puny in his massive hands. With a loud thud, the open to the recreation centre swung open, making both of your heads turn in shock.
“Lo’ak, what the fuck?”
The harsh tone came from a man, a man you barely recognised anymore. Tall and muscular, he was not the same Neteyam you last saw. He was adorning a carefully crafted neck piece that matched his hunter’s chest piece and the knife holder he kept by his hips. You took a second to adjust to the man in front of you, that you haven’t seen in so long, that will always have a special place in your heart. Your gaze eventually fell on his face, which, like the rest of him, matured so much in all that time apart. He was beautiful. His hair was freshly braided and you couldn’t help but stare at the beaded strands that framed his face. As much as his body and face changed, they didn’t hold a candle to his eyes. The big yellow orbs that always looked at you curiously and intently were now focused on Lo’ak with rage flashed across them.
“You were supposed to meet me at the Home Tree a fucking hour ago, Lo’ak. Dad asked you to join the hunting party and pull your weight for once, remember that? Are you physically unable to do anything that is ever asked of you?”
He is yet to even spare a glance in your direction. You felt your blood pressure rising at the oldest Sully, but you pushed it down to look at Lo’ak, who was staring daggers at his older brother. As he was opening his mouth to undoubtedly say something that would get him in even more trouble than he was already in, you cut him off.
“It’s my fault.” You say in Na’vi. You doubted Neteyam was in the mood for English, so as to not escalate the tensions further, you opted for your semi-decent Na’vi. “I needed his help with some samples Norm got for me that I couldn’t identify. I’m done now, though. Sorry for taking him from his duties.”
His eyes finally snapped from Lo’ak and laded on your frame. You saw his lips parting in confusion and then settle in a firm line. His eyes scanned your body from head to toe. You changed. A lot. Your hair was now close to reaching your narrow waist, which he hated himself for noticing. You were wearing what the humans called a “top”, that was cut above your abdomen and had the word “Stanford” written across it. He’s sure he’s seen it before, although he couldn’t place where. You were wearing bottoms, short and blue, with cuts in them, which Neteyam didn’t get. Why are your clothes ripped? It’s not like you fought some animal in the wild, you never got out. He couldn’t help noticing how lean you had become, so lean, in fact, he could trace your muscles with precision, something he is rarely able to do with humans. Your species was puny and weak, which is why they needed avatars and exo-suits to survive on Pandora. Realizing he was staring, his eyes moved from you back to Lo’ak, and motioned for him to get up. Although he huffed and puffed, Lo’ak obliged without saying a word. He turned around before exiting the room, giving you one last exasperated look. You winked at him and clicked your tongue in the direction of the forest, a small smile on your face. This skxawng.
“Hey, you.” You called after Neteyam in English, as soon as Lo’ak disappeared from your line of view. You don’t know what you expected, but you had to try. He turned around and his eyes met yours. It was like looking at a stranger.
“I really have to go, Y/N.” He said, with a deep voice and slight accent, and his eyes fell on the floor as soon as he noticed the look of hurt that crossed your face.
“Fine, go.” You said, quickly composing yourself. You refused to give him the satisfaction of knowing he can hurt your feelings. You turned around, and busied yourself cleaning up, not sparing a second look in his direction. His gaze shifted back to your frame, and with a sigh, he made his way out of the lab and your life, once more.

Arcane| General Relationship Headcannons|
______________________________________
I got a new hyperfixation lol
There's not enough content and I'm starving so I'll make it my self :]
Characters included : Vi, Jinx, Caitlyn
____________________________________________________
• Vi •
Probably the best girlfriend in the world.
Vi has a heart of gold and you bet she won't tell you if something is wrong. She'll try to handle everything herself so please just try to help her with her troubles.
Also you bet your ass that you'll have to hold her back so she doesn't start a pointless fight with a random person.
The best fighting duo when you both put your mind into it.
I feel like she's a snuggler so prepare yourself because she's also very buff.
If you're taller than her try teasing her about her height to see her cheeks turn the same colour as her hair.
Neck and forehead kisses at random times are frequent.
Keep them coming because she loves them.
Let her talk to you about her feelings and her worries, she's already carrying a heavy burden.
Help her with her relationship with her sister because she's lost and worried and doesn't know what to do.
As long as she doesn't tell you to give her space and let her figure it out herself she'll be forever grateful for the help.
Since we're on the subject of her sister :)
You're kinda doomed to put it lightly.
Jinx will absolutely hate you if she sees how much Vi loves you.
To her it's like Vi is telling her "I love her way more than I'll ever love you."
You need to remember that she's still Vi's sister non the less.
Just be there to support Vi, make sure not to die and let the sisters figure it out on their own.
She has nightmares every other night so either sing to her or hold her close and run your fingers through her short hair.
I think Vi would prefer to stay in the Undercity, it would take a lot of convincing for her to move to Piltover permanently.
Your dates would mostly be outside. Bring a little food and with Vi's company that's all you'll need to have a good time.
When you have fights just make sure to give her space and let her cooldown.
I feel like she would forgive you fast if you gave her a good explanation.
If she was the one in the wrong she would immediately apologize after realising what she did.
She absolutely loves giving you massages and she won't accept no for an answer.
She goes out of her way to prepare the bath and all the oils you might need. She chooses the ones with her favourite scent cuz she loves your smell while you're cuddling.
I feel likes she's not the most tidy person to exist but if it bothers you she immediately cleans up and starts making a habit of not leaving everything a mess.
She absolutely will fight anyone if she catches them staring at you.
Not in the weirdly possessive way though.
She just doesn't like it when people ogle you.
I advice you to step in and break the fight if you can.
She will be surprised if you react the same way in a similar situation. She was usually the one that protected and cared for others. The moment you show how you're willing to do the same for her is the moment she falls in love with you.
• Jinx •
Unhinged, pretty, baby
I feel like she feel in love at first sight.
Silco send her at a job. Something about her beating up some smugglers trying steal Shimmer from the cargo ship. They had advantage in numbers but Jinx is Jinx. It took her 10 minutes max and all of them were lying dead.
She thought you were one of them when you just walked up to her so she simply pointed Pow Pow at your face.
She tilted her head and was all like :)
You just raised your eyebrows.
You were from the Undercity too, guns and murder didn't faze you in the slightest.
You actually told her you like her gun.
She was surprised. So surprised she actually lowered her weapon. She didn't like the fact that she lowered her guard so easily in your presence, that there was something pulling her to you. So she left. She dipped so fast you barely caught a glimpse of her long powder braids.
She couldn't stop thinking about you though and the next time Silco wanted her to to do another job she was done quickly just to have time to look for you.
She had no idea what she was looking for exactly, but she was going to find you.
Or you were going to find her .
She is pretty easy to spot. Gadgets jiggling in her belt, huge guns painted in the brightest colours and the most adorable drawings.
To be honest you didn't exactly know why you talked to her again but it worked.
Cuz now you have a girlfriend ;)
Loves pda and affection in general.
Hugs, kisses, cuddles, you name it.
She mostly spends time in her lair working on new bombs so many of your dates take place there.
Not that you mind
The flashy colours, constant noise and prominent smell of gunpowder are just so Jinx.
Like I mentioned she lives off of your affection so even when she's working she needs to sit on your lap, or have you sit in hers, hold you hand, or just have you hugging her from behind.
When she's done with some bombs you two decorate them together.
Creating cute doodles and drawing together is her favourite thing in the world.
Sometimes you go to Silco to show him the drawings and have a friendly competition.
He was reluctant at first but after he saw how happy Jinx was he agreed.
Jinx mostly wins the competitions.
Definitely not because Silco is biased
If you don't like loosing Jinx will whine Silco's ears off until he lets you win.
Both Silco and Sevika didn't approve of you at first, for entirely different reasons.
Silco didn't trust Jinx's heart to you. He thought you'd hurt her, use her like everyone else had done. He finally accepted you once Jinx looked at him, the most serious she has ever been in her life, and said "I love her".
Sevika didn't take too long to accept you. She didn't really care about Jinx, but she new very well of what would happen if you broke her heart. She accepted you when she realised how more stable Jinx has been after you became a part of her life. Jobs are much easier now.
Jinx is way too possessive for her own good. She can't help it, she's so insecure that she gets jealous in a heartbeat.
Unlike with Vi you won't be able to do anything about it, they'd be dead before you can say 'powder'.
You tried to be there for her the best you could during the events of Arcane.
You could see her slip away from you and there wasn't much you could do. She always had breakdowns, the voices in her head never silent, but now it was a hundred times worse.
Her past came to hunt her in the worst possible way.
It all spiralled out of control before you could even think about doing anything.
The sky lit up by a blue rocket. It looked like a meteorite. It was pretty. It headed towards Piltover. Your breath left your lungs.
"Jinx".
• Caitlyn •
Hot mommy dom
If you're from Zaun, you likely met during her time there with Vi. It would make sense for you not to trust her because of that.
If you're from Piltover then things would be way easier. You probably grew up together and were friends long before Arcane took place.
I can see Caitlyn not being into too much pda. It's not like she hates affection she just has a reputation to uphold. She prefers touches and kisses to be given when it's just the two of you, the most you can get out of her in public is a peck on the cheek and the occasional hand holding.
A very sweet and loving girlfriend non the less
She would be all over you if you ever got sick. Making you soup, bringing you medicine, cuddling you to make you feel better. She's going to nurse you back to health no matter what you say.
You also can't stop her from constantly worrying over you and your safety. Her line of work can put you in danger even if you're not directly involved and that scares her. She's okay with being in harm's way almost every single day, but when it comes to you she can't even think about it.
If you actually do get hurt it's a whole mess. She'll be worried sick no matter how badly you were hurt. If you're in some sort of coma she'll bury herself in her work so she doesn't think about how it's her fault that you ended up in a hospital bed.
Even after you are 100% healthy again she'll still beat herself up for what happened.
The both of you will manage to overcome this by being there for eachother.
Cait is often busy with her enforcer work, she's the serif after all.
That doesn't mean that she's a bad partner though, it just means that you don't spend every second of every day with her.
She tries to make time for you but there are occasions when that's impossible so you'll have to be understanding.
If you're worried about her safety she's going to be mad about it but isn't going to cause an argument
She'll just calmly tell you that she can handle it. She's not made of glass after all
She does love how you care about her and she deeply appreciates it.
Most of your dates with Cait are indoors. She loves taking walks in parks and what not but she's super tired most of the time and would just prefer to sit inside. Maybe watch some movies and cuddle on the couch with some popcorn.
You have a lot of dinners with her parents. They will most likely invite you to tag along with Caitlyn in some fancy balls. She'll understand if you don't want to go, it's not everyone's cup of tea after all.
If you insisted on going with her when she went after Silco she'll immediately refuse. There's no way she's putting you in harms way.
So imagine her face when you showed up in the Undercity looking all guilty and stuff.
She's confused for a second, thinking that she's hallucinating but when it downs on her that you vane here despite what she told you she's really pissed.
She can't argue with you then and there but she'll make it obvious that she didn't like you coming along with her, especially in secret like this.
Since she can't really send you back she'll make sure that you're safe alt all times. She has her eyes on you. She's super protective even if you're able to protect yourself.
You can tell that she's getting super stressed from the whole situation so you try to reassure her.
Overall she's very sweet and even though she might not be able to be as attentive as the rest she loves you to the moon and back and makes sure you know it.

Finally watching Arcane. I'm only 12 seconds in and I already know I'm going to sob my eyes out.
I'm sorry that this is mostly a comparison to my dnd characters but I'm so hyperfixated on them that I can't ignore the similarities. Like--
(and her DM-assigned color is red, which doesn't help)
---------------‐----------------
*SPOILERS*
Watch notes by episode
Episode 1
Make that 3 minutes and I'm already on the brink--
FUCKING OH MY GOD VI ALSO HAS A THING ON HER NECK. I knew my idea for Leo wasn't all that original but AHSHZJF
OH MY GOD THIS SHOW IS BEAUTIFUL
OKAY, BUT THE "Just get born lucky." DID NOT HAVE TO HIT SO ON THE NOSE XHFBSVCBA
Powder reminds me of the way I wanted to write Maggie :(
Oh god Vi reminds me of teen Leo and she's just as protective of her sister(s)
Episode 2
YOOOO I love how they introduce characters! THAT'S COOL
Oh this is some enemies to lovers shit isn't it
Ayyy fuck the enforcers
WAIT I MADE A CHARACTER THAT LOOKED SO SIMILAR TO COUNSELOR MEDARDA FOR AN ORIGINAL STORY.
God that one woman that confronted Vander gives me Maria energy. Fuck em up sweetie.
God I love Ekko
I-- is this series anti-cap??? :)
god i love the way those tentacles are drawn
Love how Deckard just *chug chug chug*
VI. VI YOU DIDN'T. I MEAN OF COURSE YOU DID BUT YOU DIDN'T.
Episode 3
Oh thank god, Vander.
WAIT. I KNEW THINGS WERE GOING TO GO DOWN FAST BUT NOT THAT FAST
Oh Ekko :(( poor sweet boy
O H F U C K.
God I love Vander and Silco's dynamic
OH GOD NO.
I kinda figured she would, tbh
"I'll find you. I promise." OKAY. IT'S OFFICIAL. I'M CRYING.
Oh, Powder, baby.
KNEES WEAK PALMS SWEATY
I just realized Deckard looks like Lance lmao
[I literally just held my hands to my mouth for the rest of the episode]
This is the kind of shit I would write and it's come back to haunt me. There's so many similarities between Leo and Violet and Powder and Maggie. I can't unsee it.... aanndd my DM probably sees them too. Fuck.
I still L O V E this series on it's own though. It's STUNNING.
Episode 4
Oh the politics. I'm here for this shit
Episode 5
God I'm so gay for that opening
OOOOH the animation of the spiralinggg
Oh my god this is some enemies to lovers shit huh
HAH. I love the Caitlyn/old person parallel
OKAY I CAN'T FORGIVE THE CROW WHAT THE FUCK
God I love the shady politics to high-class music
OH GOD I'M SOOOO GAY
Woah. I love the show of choice vs action
ooooooohhhh spicy, Mel
Bro I feel for you :(( A dying man's life work. Oh baby :((
OH MY GOD THE PARALLEEELLSSSSS!! I LOVE IIITT

🥺
:((( Viktor honey....
VIKTOR. HONEY. 0__0
Jinx, I love you but wow you need so much therapy
o fuc, O FUCK
Idk if my heart can take this
God, this series and kids--
Damn, the professor based
:(((( damn, prof
GOD THAT FLARE. I'M SOBBING.
God, Leo is the same, Vi. She just wanted to get her sisters out of the cult and live the life they took from their family. She never wanted anything to do with artifacts or some higher purpose :((
Episode 7
oooohhh the gloooww
Daammnnn who were the live models for this show? The animation is all so smooth
THE DRUG REFERENCE
oh god, even the border parallels
ooohh choosing between the wifey and the best friend, classic
Oh thank god, for a second I thought Ekko died
JINX, HONEY--
istg the only reason I haven't shed a physical tear is the trauma I'M FUCKING CRYING ON THE INSIDE THOUGH
Episode 8
WAS THAT A REAL WOMAN ACTING???
OH FUCK SHE STRAIGHT UP DECAPITATED HER
OH GOD NO. OH FUCK.
Oh god I don't know if I can watch this...
I kinda like the father/daughter relationship between Silco and Jinx
WHO IS THIS HOWL-LOOKING-ASS
: ( I just want them to be happy
GOD. MRS. MEDARDA. NO.
I swear to god my heart has not stopped aching this entire time
*aches in lesbian*
VIKTOR!!! RUN BABY RUN!!
OH FUCK!!! SHE DEAD!!!
DAAMMNNN FUCK EM UUUUUUP
OH GOD WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE KIDS
Oh no... Jinx...
GOD, WE'RE SO CLOSE, PLEASE DON'T KILL THE LESBIAN
Episode 9
God. Yes. Please. The parallels!
Look at these two broken men at the edge of the world.
Holy shit. The literal cuts on that woman :0
"Damn, these conflicts personal! I like it :)" She later regretted that
I literally sobbed, tears and all at the end. That shit broke me. I'm gonna need a hot minute....
I can't not see Leo in Vi. They're so similar in fighting and heart. I might not even be able to watch the next season because O W.
#arcane spoilers#dnd ocs#watch notes#i love it so much#it's stunning to look at and even though i feel like I know what will happen next it has me on the edge of my seat#sobbing of course#long post

Oh hi Vi!!
Yeah I’m alright!! My only plans for tonight ((since it’s 21:45 for me)) are gonna be playing online with my cousin until the god forsaken hours of the morning - plans ((or well, a plan [singular])) I made this morning and am now regretting because as I found out/was reminded a couple hours ago: my mum starts her new NHS placement thingy this week meaning I have to be up at 10am to take care of the dogs. Something I’m not looking forward to as I’m probably not gonna be in bed until something stupid like four-
I would just cancel my plans but I hate doing so and I’ve also been lookin forward to this all morning and I can’t bring myself to do so, so I’m just gonna have to hope for the best and soldier on - yay.
Altho If I hadn’t been doing this, I’d probably of instead been up till similar hours watching Ben 10 themed videos on YouTube, because alas what is life without hyperfixations on shows your both too old for and ended years ago
And I am well aware of the Ben 10 reboot, but I refuse to acknowledge that. Like, I guess I could’ve forgiven it for rebooting the show but I just don’t like how childlike it is. I mean, in hindsight the original shows probably weren’t meant for teenagers either but still I can’t even watch the reboot on account of its simplicity. No hate to anyone who watches it and is older than the recommended age group, but it just isn’t for me.
On top of that they ruined some of the coolest aliens!!! Stinkfky and wildvine basically became human reskins as opposed to weird creepy aliens ((in the OG art style that is)), plus where are ripjaws, ghostfreak and wildmutt? Because when I last checked they weren’t even in the show!! I’m hoping things have since changed and that the characters have been readded, but it’s hard to say with the amount of stuff that comes up when you Google about it what’s clickbait and what’s legit!!!
Then there’s Max. Grandpa Max that is. He used to be this cool old man who was friends with aliens and even dated one at onepoint ((I forgot whether they’re still together it’s been ages since I watched the OG series unfortunately :( )) but now he just kinda seems to be a background character half the time. I mean I’ve seen him do a bit in the reboot, but he’s nowhere near as cool nor ((character))developed as he used to be and that makes me smad ((sad+mad))
But I’m sorry, I kinda ended up ranting here when all you wanted to know was how I was doing and not my entire life story so sorry about that 😅
I would ask how your doing, but I kinda already saw on a previous ask so I’ll just say that I hope your still doing as well as you were then
- 🦋
HIII!!
omg i have to wake up early to dog sit too tomorrow shsjsksk it's for my aunt tho and i have to be up at like 5am unfortunately lol i think you will probably already be up by the time i'm dog sitting, but if need company online we can be dog sitting buddies lmao
oh yes, that's literally me with icarly and lab rats lmaooo i loved them when i was younger and they still hold up today, especially icarly lmao
ALSO THERES A REBOOT???? i did not know that!! my brother and i used to watch ben 10 all the time. i honestly don't remember much of anything from it since i was pretty young when i watched it and since my brother is older i basically just watched whatever he did so once he stopped watching i did too cause i just watched whatever he did lol
since i don't remember much i honestly don't know what you are talking about but i LOVED reading it because i very very very much love when people rant about their hyperfixations or special interest shsjsks like i don't care if i don't understand talk all you want lol
so don't apologize! i encourage it even though i don't understand bc i LOVEEEE seeing people talk about things they like it makes me so happy lol
so unfortunately i don't have a good response to all of that bc i don't really understand what you are talking about but i still loved reading it shsajdhsk so please don't feel bad!!!!!💖💖💖💖🥺
and thank you! i'm still alright, currently sewing a stuffed animal even though i don't have any stuffing for it lmao i'll get some later this week though so i can actually stuff him and make him into a like actual stuffed animal lol
