[Episode Thread] 1x07 "The Boy Savior" or The Bridge episode

Welcome to this new Episode Thread, where we discuss in depth everything about one specific episode of Arcane.

This time we're rewatching episode 7 of season 1. After a very Caitlyn focused Act 2, she's not as prominent in this episode but there's still a handful of memorable, character defining scenes and quotes.

List of Caitlyn scenes:
00:59 - Arguing with Vi while tied up at the Firelights HQ
(09:40) - Jinx spiraling about Caitlyn - not a scene with Caitlyn but one about her and quite important for her arc with Jinx
18:35 - Ekko and Vi releasing Caitlyn
21:05 - Discussion with Ekko about the hextech gemstone
25:06 - Two short shots of Caitlyn, Vi and Ekko leaving the Firelights HQ
25:49 - The swarm of firelights
27:24 - The Bridge scene - 6 min, the longest scene so far for Caitlyn
35:47 - Quick shot of Caitlyn and Vi hearing the explosion of Jinx's grenade
Total runtime of Caitlyn scenes: 10m16s

Cupcake counter: 4
+ “It's been real, Cupcake. Thanks, for everything.”

Explosion survived: 3
+ On the bridge
(#1: Jayce's apartment in 1x02, #2: the Progress Day fire in 1x04)

Leaning on each other to walk counter: 3
+ Leaving the Bridge after the explosion

Memorable quotes:

  • “I knew it was a mistake trusting you!” - Such a sassy mongoose
  • “Oh very nice.” - That accent 😆🥰
  • “Let her go. I brought her here. It's me you want.” - All protective now
  • “You're... But I thought you... I thought they were hurting you!” - Katie Leung, I love you!
  • “Ekko, it's wrong what's been done to you. You'd be well within your right to keep it. I couldn't blame you. But if you do, this cycle of violence will never stop. This is our best shot at setting the record straight. This city needs healing. More than I ever realized. Please, let me help you.”

Let's talk about this episode! Share your thoughts, theories and rambles, fanart, memes... Discuss and react in the comments, make this thread a lively and fun place!

This is a very important episode for Caitlyn's arc, it defines her relationship with Jinx, Ekko and deepens her bond with Vi. Tell us what you think about it!

Does Jinx really hate her or is she just confused and jealous? Has Caitlyn truly gained Ekko's trust or even his respect?

What about Vi, she already tells Ekko they can trust Caitlyn, but do you agree with a common idea that it's in this episode that Vi truly falls in love?

What do you think of Caitlyn's surprised and flustered reaction when Ekko tells her about Vi trusting her?

After seeing the worst of the Undercity, now she sees the best. Tell us what you think about her memorable speech to Ekko, about stopping the cycle of violence and healing these twin cities.

She tells Ekko she has a friend on the council, Jayce. Why did she think only of him and not her mother?

Let's talk about the Bridge scene! The beautiful shot of the firelights swarming around them, their "goodbye hug" and Jinx spying them, Marcus' betrayal, Vi rushing back to her after the explosion, Jinx firing at them to separate them and the epic fight between Ekko and Jinx!

How do you think Caitlyn feels saying goodbye to Vi? Do you agree she looks like she has tears in her eyes? Does she think she will see Vi again or is it farewell?

These are just a few of many possible discussions about this episode. Explore them or bring up some more. You can also create independent posts for even more focused discussions.

-~-

The next episode thread will be in two weeks (July 20th) and will be about episode 1x08, the one with the bed scene and “Oil & Water” scene!

The Desert Blooms in Blood on AO3

Twelve days across the Atlantic had done nothing to dull the edge.

Caitlyn shouldered her bag and drew her travel case in against her hip, and she felt the eyes find her the way they always did—the offended glances of passengers who'd spent the crossing deciding what she was and resenting that they couldn't place it. A woman traveling alone. A woman in a man's tailored suit, dark as a closed door, with a low-crowned felt hat tilted just so against the New York glare. She'd long since stopped giving a single damn what peasants made of her.

She let them look. She glared back at the ones who held it too long, and to the women who kept staring anyway she gave a slow, sly turn of the mouth that was not quite a smile and not quite a promise, and watched the color come up in their faces. She looked stellar. She knew it. That, at least, exile hadn't taken.

The ramp gave under her boots as she came down onto the docks, into the reek of brine and tar and unwashed bodies and the great churning noise of America's busiest port. She set her case down a moment, scanned the chaos with a sharpshooter's patience, and began to map her way through it.

New York was only the door. The road ran on from here—a ship south to Panama, a wretched scramble across the isthmus to Panama City, and then a final steamer up the Pacific coast to San Francisco. Five more weeks of travel she was not remotely looking forward to. She found her vessel, presented her papers, and went aboard, and as she ran her eye over the passengers crowding the rail she felt something in her ease by a fraction.

Well, she thought, the corner of her mouth curling. If the women aboard are going to be this attractive, perhaps it won't be such a terrible trip after all.

Why did Fortiche even bother making these shots if they just blurred them?

I tried (and failed miserably) to remove some of the blurriness from the images...
I'm so sorry... this is a totally silly post.

Historical Western CaitVi AU | Doctor Cait x Outlaw Vi | Eventual smut

Hey! Thought I'd throw my fic in here in case it's someone's thing.

It's a Wild West AU set in a Red Dead Redemption-style world. Caitlyn is a surgeon/doctor who has spent years building a quiet life in a tiny town. Vi is one of the territory's most wanted outlaws. After Vi ends up on Caitlyn's operating table with a bullet in her shoulder, one decision snowballs into both of them becoming fugitives.

I've tried to keep the medicine as historically accurate as I can, so there's a lot of actual 1890s medical practice, surgery, and frontier survival woven into the story.

One thing I really wanted to get right was Caitlyn's character. She's still compassionate, but she's also incredibly competent, stubborn, and willing to make hard choices when it matters. As the story goes on, she surprises Vi just as much as Vi surprises her.

The romance is a slow burn built on spending time together, teasing each other, learning to trust each other, and eventually falling in love. There is explicit smut later on, but it's very much earned by the relationship.

If you're looking for a character-focused CaitVi story with plenty of banter, horses, wilderness, outlaw drama, and two women who slowly become each other's home, I'd love for you to give it a look.

I Love Caitlyn and I Love Cycling - [Edit by me]

With the Tour de France starting today and the Tour de France Femmes beginning in August, I felt like combining my two favorite things: cycling and Caitlyn Kiramman.

This is one of my favorite times of the year, especially after the Giro d'Italia. Around this time, my brain is completely focused on cycling.

So I made a few simple edits in Photopea. I took photos of real professional cyclists, adapted them to Caitlyn, used parts from different images of her, did a bit of photo retouching, played around with some filters... and voilà!

I know they're nothing amazing, but I had a lot of fun making them and wanted to share them with people who, like me, love both Caitlyn and cycling.

At this point, I'm convinced Caitlyn could win the Tour de France Femmes. I think she'd be an excellent climber and incredibly strong in the time trials. 😄

What other sports do you think Caitlyn would be good at?

 

P.S. In the last slide, I included all the reference images I used to make these silly photo edits.

Caitlyn’s Alternative Cell Line (Katie Leung Voiceover) - [Edit by me]

What if Caitlyn said this in the cell scene?...

Yesterday I posted an old interview with Katie Leung where she says a line I absolutely love: 'But you can also call me Cupcake.' I thought it fit perfectly here as an alternative dialogue😁.

If you missed the reference, check out the original interview here:

I’d never noticed the pattern on the inside of her cape! – [Credit: @KirammanKey]

I’m not a big fan of that cape, but I get excited discovering new details even years later…
