And then it turned out she was upset because Maddie was a redheaded Scottish girl she wanted to like for said reason, but now felt she had to dislike for being with Caitlyn: "Don't come in here with your cute little Scottish accent. I have a soft spot for Scottish accents. That's not fair because that reminds me of my girlfriend and I love my girlfriend, but I don't want to mix my genuine love for my girlfriend with this #$%@!" lol to Elijah's reaction concerning the scene in reguards also loving Moscow.
Poor Maddie is the one getting used there. She seems to really care for Caitlyn but I think for Caitlyn, Maddie is just a means of filling the void of Vi.
I suspect that Maddie would *absolutely* be open to a Throuple situation with Cait and Vi, given how much admiration she has for them - it might not be a *healthy* relationship, but she'd be more than happy to go along with it at first.
@@lilunette9319 Huh, interesting. I hadn't thought to suspect her at all. I'll have to keep a closer eye out for her trying anything sneaky in the next episodes.
@@boredmarinerd808 because she had already seen it and recorded her own reaction video before the watch party so she could be her usual energetic self, and yes.. she DOES lose her frikkin mind. XD
@@boredmarinerd808 ah, well we all know Elijah watched The Scene about 15 more times "For Science" in the hour before the WP, apparently she learned how to keep it in after that many times. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Though i am never getting over how Elijah immediatelt took a drink after watching the first time, she was LITERALLY a thirsty lesbian when she watched it. 🤣🤣🤣
"Paint the town blue" has two meanings. Not only Jinx's hair and primary color, but also the Enforcers, referred to as "blue-belly" before. They also wear blue, and very much the phrase "Paint the town blue" can be read as an enforcer takeover. The cops flooding in.
I love the fact that the colour blue was primarily associated with Piltover, but in the wake of things, the people of Zaun, in alliance with Jinx, have taken it for themselves as a symbol of rebellion.
Caitlyn arrested Chross and Margot, the two surviving chem barons. We can see her shooting them with her net launcher during the Hellfire montage in episode 3
I've seen so much hate for Maddie going around and she does NOT deserve any of it. She's not a homewrecker, she didn't know about Caitlyn and Vi. If anything, Caitlyn should be getting flack for using her as a rebound and not telling her about Vi. I feel bad for Maddie, honestly.
Even if she did know about CaitVi, there's the counterpoint of like. Caitlyn and Vi are currently split. They are apart, and they've been apart for an unknown amount of time, at least a couple months.
I thought the exact same thing if feels very immature plus Caitlyn literally hit her in the last episode , I really hope that obsessive fans don't harass the voice actor or anything, I've seen it happen before with other characters
15:10 Can we talk about this scene?! LIKE THEY TOOK LITARAL (idk how old, but less than 10 I guess) CHILD TO STILL WATER. THEY TOOK HER TO PRISION. A CHILD
I think the moment where Jinx's fans silently thank her for saving them is going to mean a lot to her because finally she hasn't been a jinx. She went with the goal to save the people, and she succeeded. That's never happened before. And no one's ever thanked her for something she tried to do before.
@@julia4ever1 ppl asked me on tt about this under simmlar comments few times already xD I still like her thb... Now I think ppl have REALLY good reason to hate her, but she is still my baby
Maddie catching strays left and right, homegirl aint do nothing wrong even. Cait and Vi weren't even official. Maddie's even giving sound advice. Like an actual voice of reason.
"Why is peace always the justification for violence?" I feel like Cait reminded Ambessa of Mel in that moment. Mel tried to encourage her mom to be merciful when she was young and to show the capacity for forgiveness which Ambessa then responded with "A wolf shows no mercy". Maybe Ambessa, deep down, regrets not trusting in Mel more back then and wants to try and make up for that with Cait by trusting Cait's judgement.
Fun fact, the cut in Singed's hand isnt a rune. this is about one of Warwicks passive abilities from the game, Blood Hunt, when an enemy champion goes below half HP they get marked and WV can see them from across the map and and if he follows a red trail (like we see in Warvick Vision here) towards the wounded champ he gets increased movement to hunt them down as well as attack speed against them. As a player it was a MOMENT when i saw Singed cut himself to draw blood, i had goosebumps knowing what was happening. XD
@endertuber8300 oh heck yes. This show does mostly its own thing but they take some if the good bits from the game and put it in the story in the best ways.
I support Maddie for trying to be supportive and a good influence for Caitlyn while Vi, Mel, and Jayce are all unable to. It's nice to see Cait's kept some of her morals and isn't a total lost cause, and if Maddie had even a tiny part in that, I am forever grateful And come on, we've known since season 1 Cait has mad game and is not afraid to use it. Vi, Maddie, the brothel worker, all the "strays" she used to bring back to her place. Heck, even Sevika was a little into it during their fight 😏
You know, before Act 2 came out, a writer on ao3 posted a fanfic, Orange is a Lesser Red, about Cait hooking up with Maddie to get over Vi. I thought it was just a crack ship! I didn't expect them to be right lol
Another poster elsewhere made an interesting point about Isha. The fact that Isha is mute makes her a benevolent companion for Jinx, because Jinx has so many voices tormenting her in her head.
Interesting thing I noted. You called Warwick “it” the whole time, but as soon as he said “Powder” you started calling him “he”. Like immediate mental decontextualization. Really cool moment.
Me, eps 1-3: “Maddie is life, she must be protected at all costs.” Me, 5 minutes into ep 4: “Welp, Maddie has to die.” (I’m kidding, y’all. We all love Maddie, she’s best girl)
Not really. I mean, yeah, good for her for tapping that. Lots of us had fantasized about it ourselves. But in terms of finding a mutually fulfilling relationship that isn’t a hollow rebound, not really. She’s just gonna get her heart broken later on.
Anyone else feel like Cait dumped Maddie after Ambessa called her out and that’s why they were exchanging hurt(Maddie)/regretful(Cait) looks when they were at the tombstone? In that first scene between them it was clear that Cait was not as invested in the relationship as Maddie, and wasn’t as receptive to the tenderness Maddie was showing. Maddie is clearly interested (probably had been for a while) but she’s definitely just a rebound to attempt to fill the void Vi left. At least that’s what I took from the interactions… after rewatching the episode multiple times to get over the shock of seeing Maddie in Cait’s bed.
My read on that scene is that Maddie wants Caitlyn not to raid the gathering at Vander's statue like Ambessa suggested, but she realizes from the look in her eye that Caitlyn is so desperate to catch Jinx that she is going to give the order even though they both know it's wrong. So Caitlyn looks determined but ashamed, and Maddie looks disappointed but accepting
@aranthur interesting take. I could buy that. We’ll have to see. As much as I don’t hate Maddie and even like her as a person, I really don’t feel like her feelings are reciprocated even though Cait is sleeping with her. Hell I was half thinking before this act dropped that she might hook up with Vi considering how she was fangirling when they met. She’s a character I’d love to see make it through this, but I don’t think she and Cait are going much further simply because Cait isn’t in love with her.
@@XOISHTAR Yeah, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Maddie already knows Caitlyn and Vi are in love, but she assumed Vi was out of the picture for good, so maybe eventually Cait's feelings of friendship and appreciation for her could eventually become romantic [SPOILERS FOR THE REST OF THIS ACT AHEAD] But now that Vi and Caitlyn are reconnected, I could see Maddie actually being the one to end things and push the two of them to be together
@aranthur [RESPONDING TO THE SPOILER] I hope that’s how it goes, I’m quite sure that Cait is going to stay with Vi from this point on… but I’m hoping Maddie doesn’t have any jealousy to create conflict with them. Cause yeah, I think she probably noticed what was between them (I’m someone who thinks the kiss we saw was not their first, and can imagine that they might have been intimate during the time covered in the raid montage in episode 3… so odds are the squad all knew, but that was before Cait returned and changed and Vi didn’t return with her) and the fling is a more recent development of probably the last few months of the time jump (which is supposed to be 6 months I think) I just don’t want to see her side with Ambessa after this, which is a risk if Ambessa starts spinning her narrative before the two can get back up top. I know from the trailer for act 3 that they do hash things out and it certainly seems that Cait isn’t going to try to defend her choices so hopefully this was the last breakup these two idiots have.
11:34 I was sure that she understand very well that what she sees are just hallucinations, but tbh after this scene I start to think that she isn't fully understanding what's happening
[Mod] Hey everyone! Remember to keep the comments free of any spoilers of future episodes for Mosco. Have fun & be creative with fake spoilers! Also, make sure we’re keeping the comments cool & comfortable for everyone here. Enjoy the reaction y’all!!!
I may or may not have screamed like a little girl in two occasions: when Singed cut himself in front of the Enforcers... and when SCUTTLEBUG appeared!!!
the way she just predicted that her gf was gonna lose her mind and how they had similar reactions to the same scenes. you two are made for each other istg
3:03 Wow. Never thought I’d see Mosco absolutely hating a sapphic relationship. That’s quite rare. And the actors are both Scottish as well. That makes it even more odd. But like Mosco says, you just need to have faith in Amanda Overton. Not trust, just pure Angelic faith.
The remaining chembarons got eliminated by Cait and vi's strike team - they accomplished all tasks except taking down Jinx. That was illustrated in the ep 3 intro
Jinx has been very interesting to watch this season because like you said, she seems to actually becoming more mentally stable then she was last season. If last season was Powder descending into the madness that is Jinx, this season seems to be Jinx regaining some of her lost sanity. Her episode of seeing hallucinations and hearing voices is the first time Jinx has had one since the season started. This more stable Jinx is a very interesting character compared to the unhinged one of last season.
I loved the good Doctor in this. Hangs out at a revolutionary speech, consoles a child, just closes the celldoor on -himself- because "Yeah nah, I ain't standing in the middle of this."
"There was still the lassie and the other guy... What became of them?" If you carefully watch the music video at the start of episode 3 ("Hellfire"), you can see the implied capture of the last two remaining Chem Barons.
It's both a positive and a negative that that whole scene was so cool and visually interesting that pretty much nobody doing reactions seems to have actually been able to pay attention to what was happening.
After I finished screaming my silent scream of shock at Maddie's appearance, I, too, thought "Elijah's gonna lose it" 😂 Also...endoscopy?? 😢 Hope all is well, and glad you're getting to Florida for a visit! 😊
They took my heart out of my body when i heard and saw maddie i litteraly stop the screen for 30min and i cried Idk why then i hits lot of Time my desk but when i saw the rest of the ep i was a Little relieve.
10:29 Actually, one time I twist my thumb so I can assure you this is the worst thinger to lose (even when it's temporary) because without the others you can still shake things, without your thumb...well...
I don't understand the Maddie hate. First of all, she's adorable and supportive, and if our cupcake wants her own cupcake, why can't she? :D Second, I love how Maddie isn't just simping: she's clearly besotted, but she's also speaking plainly and correctly about how Caitlyn can regain control--if she wants to. The issue is, of course, that Caitlyn doesn't want to--not yet, anyway. I also get the feeling she's going to break wee Maddie's heart sooner or later--maybe because she was so supportive.
It's just fandoms being fandoms. Sorry not sorry to say that but Arcane fandom CAN be toxic to, it's not just all fun and love and people just take fictional stuff way too seriously. Plus, there's also the matter of character perspective ; we have Cait and Vi's perspective but Maddie doesn't. But because viewers know some stuff and characters don't necessarily know the same thing, they might assume things about their personnality.
I don't understand whole hate for Maddie. She did NOTHING wrong. "but she slept with Caitlyn!" Okey, and?! Caitlyn and Vi wasn't couple then and didn't saw each other for months/year. They broke up, Caitlyn had right to move on and Maddie had right to be with her, ig they both wanted it. She acted 100% fair, didn't do anything when Vi and Cait was still toghether
I feel, that in episode 3, Caitlyn was conflicted. She wanted vengeance but didn't want to hurt Vi. In the end she realized she couldn't hurt Vi, either by killing Jinx or by asking Vi to do it.
17:05 I wonder if this joke is about how different Jinx's Arcane outfit is from her much flashier OG LoL outfit? Idk if it is, but it'd be really funny if that was the intent of the joke.
Rickter can trow a lance trough a chentank he absolutely hold back with Isha. Noxians respect strength and courage and he took a moment to get a good look in acknowledgment before trowing her towards the statue o fell like he showed respect here
I am going to put this out before the last three episodes of this last season.. Keep in mind this is only a theory. But wouldn't it be a total kick in the pants if all this trouble of Ambessa with the Black rose cabal is revenge for that girl Ambessa beheaded in Season one. The one Mel tried to convince Ambessa to show mercy to.
So for the time skip, the only clue i heard was when Isha tries to hand Jinx's Zapper (her pistol, i think that was the name) and Jinx respond " that was last year, Jinx is dead." So i guess about a year has passed.
2:51 Moments like this make me feel like this season is rushed. How much time has passed that Maddie becomes Cait's rebound and gets further in the relationship than Vi? Can't wait for act 3 when this hits the fan.
2:59 I been there myself ,reacting the same way to that just yesterday too. This is entirely not fair for Cait to pick Maddie ,in place of Vi. It doesn't matter to fill the void or what ,This is so wrong...
My react to Maddie and Cait's relationship was similar to deviation💀 I jumped from my bed, paced, cleaned my room and repeatedly screamed "WHAT, WHAT!" It took me like 15 mins to reboot Netflix to continue! I can't even imagine Elijah's reaction will be😭
Honestly the hate for Maddie is unwarranted. Honestly the only person not trying to manipulate Cait into doing war crimes and is clearly actually in love with Cait.
Elijah DID, in fact, lose her absolute frikkin mind when she saw Maddie in Caitlyns bed..... She did the whole Disney Hades thing with blowing up and then being very fine, cool and calm about it all... but not really. XDDDD Gods i love you both Mosco, you two are such a beautiful pair in so many ways.
I can't figure out how anyone could blame Maddie for ending up in a relationship with Caitlin. As the saying goes, "I wouldn't kick her(Cait) out of bed for eating crackers." Also, with the way society seems to be in Piltover, I would not be surprised if poly/enm relationships were not uncommon.
People can be upset about Vi and Cait not being together but some of the other reactions I've seen have had so much geniune vitriol for Maddie it makes me kinda sad lol. I've seen so many people insisting that she's trying to blind Cait or manipulate her, but as far as I see it she's trying to be the voice of reason and talk Cait down! She's trying to get her to pull out of the undercity! I'm glad you're still giving her the benefit of the doubt, but I haven't watched ep 5 or 6 yet and I'm a little worried 😅
I think people are looking at things with Maddie the wrong way. If you look how Caitlyn behaves with her, she's rather... cold and dismissive despite the affection Maddie is showing her. I think the scene is meant to portray that even though Caitlyn has other opinions and has tried to move on from Vi, she can't.
Honestly I'm happy that Caitlyn has Maddie since she does seem like she wants Caitlyn to stop the crusade and I'd be far more worried if she was alone with Ambessa whispering in her ear which I think is why she was unhappy about them being together. Also I'm not sure I even want Vi & Caitlyn to be togother right now, especially after she hit her last episode
Just imagine the reason Caitlyn hasn't gotten Jinx after all this time is because nobody working under her ever recognized Jinx. They may have seen her jumping across rooftops and just shrug it off as some lame poser. XD
Well sorry to burst your fantasy, but dictator Caitlyn can do whatever the hell she wants, especially sleep with any women she wants. As for Maddie, she did NOTHING wrong. She had feelings for Cait and wanted to give it a shot.
I’m not mad at Maddie. I don’t think she even realizes that she’s a rebound. I’m mad at Cait, because she’s gonna break Maddie’s heart when she goes back to Vi.
I'm a CaitVi stan, but at this point I just want the girls to be happy...and if that means Cait ends up staying with Maddie, so be it. (Even though I for the time being think Maddie's kinda a rebound girl for Cait.) I still kind of think Maddie might be up to something...I just don't know what.
I get the feeling Elijah will understand the appeal of a spunky, short-haired, Scottish girl. :P
I made that connection too, as soon as I saw this scene lol
And then it turned out she was upset because Maddie was a redheaded Scottish girl she wanted to like for said reason, but now felt she had to dislike for being with Caitlyn: "Don't come in here with your cute little Scottish accent. I have a soft spot for Scottish accents. That's not fair because that reminds me of my girlfriend and I love my girlfriend, but I don't want to mix my genuine love for my girlfriend with this #$%@!" lol to Elijah's reaction concerning the scene in reguards also loving Moscow.
I love how you’re like “Oh shit. Elijah is gonna lose her shit.”😂😂 you two are so cute.
is she wrong tho 🤣🤣🤣
Mosco knows her girlfriend better than anyone, so yeah.
Oh she did!
Poor Maddie is the one getting used there. She seems to really care for Caitlyn but I think for Caitlyn, Maddie is just a means of filling the void of Vi.
Agreed.
Replace void with vacuum . . .
I suspect that Maddie would *absolutely* be open to a Throuple situation with Cait and Vi, given how much admiration she has for them - it might not be a *healthy* relationship, but she'd be more than happy to go along with it at first.
I think Maddie is Black Rose and why she uses the smoke grenade. Making secret moves against Ambessa is so on point.

Real world police in America refer to themselves as the “thin blue line” as well, which I thought notable!
Isn't also a play on the slang "paint the town red" ?
Or fight back against the enforcers. Like "Leave them lying all over town". Since the song seems to be about Zaun fighting back.
@@umhi9778 Yeah, there'll be some blue splatters from that. Tbh, it's a clever title, and song, with a lot of layers in its meaning.

Yeah and she's actually giving Caitlyn some really good advice on what she should do.

LIKE THEY TOOK LITARAL (idk how old, but less than 10 I guess) CHILD TO STILL WATER. THEY TOOK HER TO PRISION. A CHILD
Yea that's what I was thinking too! Idk how far Piltover is gone in lengths to put a literal child in jail
That's Noxus for you
The relationship between Isha and Jinx is one of my favorite things about season 2
I think the moment where Jinx's fans silently thank her for saving them is going to mean a lot to her because finally she hasn't been a jinx. She went with the goal to save the people, and she succeeded. That's never happened before. And no one's ever thanked her for something she tried to do before.

the way she just predicted that her gf was gonna lose her mind and how they had similar reactions to the same scenes. you two are made for each other istg

Wait, really? I’m gonna rewatch this scene now
She's actually mute and just screamed, but I like to pretend this happened 😊
Jinx has been very interesting to watch this season because like you said, she seems to actually becoming more mentally stable then she was last season. If last season was Powder descending into the madness that is Jinx, this season seems to be Jinx regaining some of her lost sanity. Her episode of seeing hallucinations and hearing voices is the first time Jinx has had one since the season started. This more stable Jinx is a very interesting character compared to the unhinged one of last season.
Caitlyn's talk with General Medara reminds me of the 12th Doctor's speech in the Zygon Inversion episode.
Oh no... You ain't ready for the rest of Act 2.
1:22 - as a Floridian, you have my condolences
Oh come on we’re not that bad…sort of😅
I loved the good Doctor in this. Hangs out at a revolutionary speech, consoles a child, just closes the celldoor on -himself- because "Yeah nah, I ain't standing in the middle of this."
"There was still the lassie and the other guy... What became of them?"
If you carefully watch the music video at the start of episode 3 ("Hellfire"), you can see the implied capture of the last two remaining Chem Barons.
It's both a positive and a negative that that whole scene was so cool and visually interesting that pretty much nobody doing reactions seems to have actually been able to pay attention to what was happening.
After I finished screaming my silent scream of shock at Maddie's appearance, I, too, thought "Elijah's gonna lose it" 😂
Also...endoscopy?? 😢 Hope all is well, and glad you're getting to Florida for a visit! 😊
I feel bad for Maddie
Yeah, it seems like she genuinely may have feelings for Cait… and that’s gonna hurt.
1:22 waitwaitwaitwait...... wait... could this mean we get a joint reaction with Both Mosco and Elijah? A joint Arcane reaction???
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
They took my heart out of my body when i heard and saw maddie i litteraly stop the screen for 30min and i cried Idk why then i hits lot of Time my desk but when i saw the rest of the ep i was a Little relieve.
10:29 Actually, one time I twist my thumb so I can assure you this is the worst thinger to lose (even when it's temporary) because without the others you can still shake things, without your thumb...well...
Talked over the most important line of the episode 😂😂😂
I don't understand the Maddie hate. First of all, she's adorable and supportive, and if our cupcake wants her own cupcake, why can't she? :D Second, I love how Maddie isn't just simping: she's clearly besotted, but she's also speaking plainly and correctly about how Caitlyn can regain control--if she wants to. The issue is, of course, that Caitlyn doesn't want to--not yet, anyway. I also get the feeling she's going to break wee Maddie's heart sooner or later--maybe because she was so supportive.
It's just fandoms being fandoms. Sorry not sorry to say that but Arcane fandom CAN be toxic to, it's not just all fun and love and people just take fictional stuff way too seriously. Plus, there's also the matter of character perspective ; we have Cait and Vi's perspective but Maddie doesn't. But because viewers know some stuff and characters don't necessarily know the same thing, they might assume things about their personnality.
1:19 i hope you have a very nice trip!
Maddie as a lover/gf/wife would be all the healing I would need
The fact she knows her gf is ganna flip is so funny😅
They better not take Vander away from us after the way they teased us like this!
Side Note...am I wrong in guessing that Isha is an ASL character
Both Elijah and Mosco instantly blamed Amanda. That's hilarious.
to quote friends they were on a break!
I don't understand whole hate for Maddie. She did NOTHING wrong.
"but she slept with Caitlyn!" Okey, and?! Caitlyn and Vi wasn't couple then and didn't saw each other for months/year. They broke up, Caitlyn had right to move on and Maddie had right to be with her, ig they both wanted it. She acted 100% fair, didn't do anything when Vi and Cait was still toghether
I feel, that in episode 3, Caitlyn was conflicted. She wanted vengeance but didn't want to hurt Vi. In the end she realized she couldn't hurt Vi, either by killing Jinx or by asking Vi to do it.
17:05 I wonder if this joke is about how different Jinx's Arcane outfit is from her much flashier OG LoL outfit? Idk if it is, but it'd be really funny if that was the intent of the joke.
Rickter can trow a lance trough a chentank he absolutely hold back with Isha. Noxians respect strength and courage and he took a moment to get a good look in acknowledgment before trowing her towards the statue o fell like he showed respect here
I am going to put this out before the last three episodes of this last season.. Keep in mind this is only a theory. But wouldn't it be a total kick in the pants if all this trouble of Ambessa with the Black rose cabal is revenge for that girl Ambessa beheaded in Season one. The one Mel tried to convince Ambessa to show mercy to.
5:02 Yes, I was surprised she used ASL aka American Sign Language, but I don't know about she's Deaf or Mute.
You can still like Maddie haha 😂
So for the time skip, the only clue i heard was when Isha tries to hand Jinx's Zapper (her pistol, i think that was the name) and Jinx respond " that was last year, Jinx is dead." So i guess about a year has passed.
2:51 Moments like this make me feel like this season is rushed. How much time has passed that Maddie becomes Cait's rebound and gets further in the relationship than Vi? Can't wait for act 3 when this hits the fan.
2:59 I been there myself ,reacting the same way to that just yesterday too. This is entirely not fair for Cait to pick Maddie ,in place of Vi. It doesn't matter to fill the void or what ,This is so wrong...
This show is so sad bro I can’t wait till you get to ep 6 cause yesterday I was going THROUGH IT (me and my friends)
Hi I love you and your vid’s your amazing keep it up!
To this day I still can’t believe the theories about Warwick is actually right???
My react to Maddie and Cait's relationship was similar to deviation💀 I jumped from my bed, paced, cleaned my room and repeatedly screamed "WHAT, WHAT!"
It took me like 15 mins to reboot Netflix to continue!
I can't even imagine Elijah's reaction will be😭
What an episode, although it is sad the internet ruined Warwick's character reveal instantly after S1 came out...
I think Isha said "mama" when she was carried off but maybe I'm hearing things
I know we all want to see Maddie on a pyre, but on the bright side, at least Cait got a rebound out of the way
Honestly the hate for Maddie is unwarranted. Honestly the only person not trying to manipulate Cait into doing war crimes and is clearly actually in love with Cait.
As for what happened to the other two chembarons in charge, I think Cait and her Peanut Patrol arrested them in episode 3.
Who can be mad at a spunky girl with short hair and a Scottish accent?
Zaun is so 90s punk rock. Maybe even 70s pure punk.
I really hope people dont start hating Maddie I love her so much
Elijah DID, in fact, lose her absolute frikkin mind when she saw Maddie in Caitlyns bed.....
She did the whole Disney Hades thing with blowing up and then being very fine, cool and calm about it all... but not really. XDDDD
Gods i love you both Mosco, you two are such a beautiful pair in so many ways.
I can't figure out how anyone could blame Maddie for ending up in a relationship with Caitlin. As the saying goes, "I wouldn't kick her(Cait) out of bed for eating crackers."
Also, with the way society seems to be in Piltover, I would not be surprised if poly/enm relationships were not uncommon.
13:54 I think Cait with Vi and the team got rid of them in act 1.
People can be upset about Vi and Cait not being together but some of the other reactions I've seen have had so much geniune vitriol for Maddie it makes me kinda sad lol. I've seen so many people insisting that she's trying to blind Cait or manipulate her, but as far as I see it she's trying to be the voice of reason and talk Cait down! She's trying to get her to pull out of the undercity! I'm glad you're still giving her the benefit of the doubt, but I haven't watched ep 5 or 6 yet and I'm a little worried 😅
Technically, she could also be considered as trying to manipulate her into leaving Zaun alone.
If you hear correctly Isha said mama to jinx. When sevika got her.
I think people are looking at things with Maddie the wrong way. If you look how Caitlyn behaves with her, she's rather... cold and dismissive despite the affection Maddie is showing her. I think the scene is meant to portray that even though Caitlyn has other opinions and has tried to move on from Vi, she can't.
Anything happens to this bean. Aaaaauuuuuughhhh
Honestly I'm happy that Caitlyn has Maddie since she does seem like she wants Caitlyn to stop the crusade and I'd be far more worried if she was alone with Ambessa whispering in her ear which I think is why she was unhappy about them being together. Also I'm not sure I even want Vi & Caitlyn to be togother right now, especially after she hit her last episode
Just imagine the reason Caitlyn hasn't gotten Jinx after all this time is because nobody working under her ever recognized Jinx. They may have seen her jumping across rooftops and just shrug it off as some lame poser. XD
Anyone else notice Mosco’s hair cut?
Fair warning. Get ready for a full on train ride for the next two episodes.
I love you so much you dont waste time to react. Please tell your girlfriend I've been waiting for hers 😭
Wishing you strenghtness for act 2
Internet's going mad over Maddie.
Well sorry to burst your fantasy, but dictator Caitlyn can do whatever the hell she wants, especially sleep with any women she wants.
As for Maddie, she did NOTHING wrong. She had feelings for Cait and wanted to give it a shot.
5:09 🤫
I’m not mad at Maddie. I don’t think she even realizes that she’s a rebound. I’m mad at Cait, because she’s gonna break Maddie’s heart when she goes back to Vi.
absolutly. My gut reaction to that to that scene was: What the fuck, Cait!
Poor sevika keeps losing her arm
I'm a CaitVi stan, but at this point I just want the girls to be happy...and if that means Cait ends up staying with Maddie, so be it. (Even though I for the time being think Maddie's kinda a rebound girl for Cait.) I still kind of think Maddie might be up to something...I just don't know what.
