I love these two! Their relationship development in only a few episodes was amazing to watch. They go from Caitlyn not trusting Vi to help to them constantly saving each other wow
The best part about these two is that their relationship is REAL, it's about their individual and shared experiences, about their complimentary strengths and weaknesses, about coming to a mutual understanding and connecting powerfully, intimately with what they see in each other. It's NOT about being GAY!(tm). It's not a token relationship to inject 'representation', it's not a commentary on society's injustices towards people who are gay, not an in your face challenge to 'accept and embrace our gayness or be proven a bigot!'... it's just two girls - two people, two souls - finding one another in the chaos of life. It's not about gay, it's about love, and THAT is what the Earth moves for.
I understand your intent and i don't think you're being intentionally malicious but it reads as 'supportive homophobe' if that makes sense. I get the vibe of focusing on the relationship itself but that rant about how unimportant the gay side of it is, just spoiled it.
@@jameelagill5408 I can certainly understand that point of view. It comes from living so long with an 'us vs. them' mentality, where one tends to divide groups into 'gay' and 'not gay'. I believe that the two worst things a person can do is to 1) define others by things they had no control over and 2) define yourself by things which you had no control over. We spend so much time emotionally investing in identity politics that it's skewing our sense of self as well as our sense of others. People should only EVER be judged or defined by the one thing they can control - their individual choices. Our height, our eye color, our sex, our sexual orientation, our skin color or anything else that we're just born with are all ultimately meaningless in the face of choices we make in life... the people who are able to realize this often discover that the entire world suddenly opens up to them. I don't have gay friends and straight friends, I just have friends. I don't have black co-workers and white co-workers, I just have co-workers, and my ability to tolerate, empathize or support them is not dependent on which box they check or which flag they wave. I honor and cherish love, wherever I find it, wherever I see it. Whether it's gay love or straight love could not make the slightest difference to me. It doesn't get a special asterisk if it's gay, I doesn't get to be in all caps if it's straight - love is love (I'm sure I read that somewhere), and classifying it in order to check some box only diminishes and disrespects the people who share in it. If that causes you to label me a 'supportive homophobe', then I understand - some people simply cannot live without applying labels to people - but that's something I'm afraid you will have to work through yourself. My advice is to throw away the label-maker entirely - you'll be happier and you'll discover the world to be an even better place because of it.
@@jameelagill5408 I get where you're coming from, but don't think that's the reason they commented tho. Me, a flaming homosexual, I'm so, SO happy to finally have animated representation that focuses in the relationship as a nuanced whole and not about it being gay. This relationship is *crucial* for the plot, and they clearly were made for eachother - and oh! great, they're gay! They *happen* to be gay. That's how representation should work because that's how life works. I'm not looking for a girlfriend to act or be gay, or to be, idk, walking lgbt representation or something. I'm looking for a girlfriend bc I want someone to share my life with and to be sappy and to connect and to help and such... and I *happen* to be a lesbian so yay, it'll be women for me. Most of the time, it feels like shows take two characters to make them gay just for the sake of having that one queer couple, so it is refreshing and BEAUTIFUL how arcane created this amazing couple that simply *happens* to be gay. Relationships aren't about your sexuality, relationships are about love; it shouldn't be any different with queer couples. And Arcane understood the assignment :) I hope I made myself clear!
My heart breaks everytime i watch Caitlyn screaming when the missile is flying to the council because she knows her mom is there. I really hope her mom survives, otherwise it will further complicate vi-cait relationship
I think this is over-interpretated... I think she just breathed in heavily. That's what is so sweet about their relationship. It's not that obvious, they don't SAY that they love eachother, they just show it
Best couple in LOL and so keen to see more and some kiss scenes. Not too much romance tho cuz I’m so over romance in general. But just an awesome girl couple kicking arse
most likely, yes. in the game there are some voicelines where they flirt with eachother when teaming up. they fight crime together in the original lore. and they have matching skins + official art, the only thing left is them being confirmed (though it's so obvious that they have a thing that it wouldn't be necessary)
@@ambermillerrr their scenes and moments were some if the worst and unnecessary moments of arcane. So forced, unnatural, and didnt remotely feel authentic or believable.
