When A Fic Doesn’t Fit My Head Canons But It’s Well-written

sometimes a family is:

escaped convict papa

active suicide risk stepfather

mentally ill orphaned daughter

and who could forget: survivor’s guilt son-in-law

A WIN FOR THE LESBIANS. A WIN FOR THE BISEXUALS. A MASSIVE LOSS FOR THE GAYS

People expecting a character like Caitlyn who has shown so many times her clear disdain for communicating her feelings verbally, to have lengthy conversations and never ending apologies for everything she has done wrong is a bit disappointing.

Caitlyn is a politician’s daughter. She knows that words are always there to smooth the rough edges of the conflict or to make promises that another age won’t see coming to fruition and, essentially, mean nothing without the action following.

People offer their sympathies and she just doesn’t acknowledge their words, Cait just moves past it and changes the topic or tries to make up a plan to just do something, to fix and salvage.

She shows, not tells.

She doesn’t say a word as she rushes to bring her father in a tight embrace after being on the brink of death and allowing herself to stay like that for a few moments with a person she thought she’d never see again.

She doesn’t say a word as her eyes are slowly drifting lower as if preparing herself to face yet another of her mistakes that she can’t erase. She’s reaching out to gently graze her fingers over an injury and the spot that she hit the person who she loved so much in, sorrow and remorse all over her face.

She doesn’t say a word as she puts every obstacle out of Vi’s way to make sure that nothing would stop her to free Jinx: to free the person who tormented her mind even before she knew her name, to get her out of the cell and out of the punishment Caitlyn was determined to bring on her with all the rage and ferocity of a grieving daughter.

She doesn’t say a word as she gives up her inherited sit in the Council for a Zaunite who she faced in a fight that she barely got out of alive by sheer luck and is there to represent the interests and stand for the rights of the city she poisoned and regarded the residents of with a loss-reinforced contempt and prejudice.

Why would she need to say anything when she shows so much?

And why would you, as a viewer, rob yourself of the opportunity to appreciate the nuance of the character like that?

Canon actually

how it feels scrolling through the arcane tag and seeing everyone mourn and then seeing the caitvi shippers

PJO AU where Jackie and Misty are left behind on a quest and go on their own adventure to bring them back and find some friends along the way?

Has anyone checked on Netflix Brazil? Like how are they doing after episode 8?

So do a lot of us agree on the fact that Lottie made Shauna leader to protect Nat? Because right now I am a firm believer in that!!! Dare I say Nat was never the wilderness’ favorite she was just Lottie’s favorite and I’M DEVASTATED OVER THEM
