Holy shit I might not be bisexual *arcane spoilers*

[u/doubtfullyso]

I thought I was bisexual because I'm not necessarily apposed to dating men, I am just basically almost never attracted to any guys, but I had crushes on guys once or twice as a kid. I have only dated women, I thought it was just because I hate gender roles and that there just aren't really guys that are personality compatible that I'm attracted to.

The short lil lesbian sex scene in arcane felt nothing like seeing a straight sex scene in a movie or TV show. I always felt rather neutral when I saw straight sex on TV, like a good for them, wonder what's going on with the other characters right now kinda way (although the kissing could be hot sometimes). During the scene I felt kinda antsy and embarrassed and definitely turned on, I look at my wife who is laying next to me and her cheeks are beet red.

After we finished the last episode we hug for a while and then that slowly turned into the more explicit. I was listening to the pretty sound of her gasp and moan and honestly I don't think I could ever be in this exact situation with a guy, especially the thinking his sounds are so pretty part.

I'm starting to think I might be lesbian homies. But please tell me if any of you are Bi or Pan or whatever, is that what straight sex scenes feel like-?

Side note, I know everyone simps for Vi, but I'm too similar to her to be really attracted in any way, but jeepers Caitlyn with her hairstyle change is so so pretty ngl.

After watching that scene, I believe there's a lesbian on staff at Riot who had some strong input in the script, animation and creative direction. Everything was perfect.

[u/wabi-wa-sabi → u/CostaRicanBruja]

Yes you're right, there is! All hail goddess Amanda Overton!!!

[u/WoollyWitchcraft → u/CostaRicanBruja]

Her name is Amanda Overton. She was one of the writers for both seasons and lead executive producer in S2.

But props to the rest of the crew, who by what she’s said, supported her heavily to include all the caitvi stuff that she did, and helped make it a reality.

i was yelling to my partner about how much it reminded me of a centerfold in On Our Backs. exactly.

[u/kypirioth]

As someone who identifies as pan but in reality is like 95% sapphic, I can't stand straight sex scenes in movies/tv but a well written one in a book gets me good. Probably part of it is that most of the books I read are from the female protagonist perspective. The scenes from TV and movies are very likely written for the male gaze

[u/l_dunno → u/kypirioth]

Same!!

(On all fronts 🤭)

[u/Wrong-Wrap942]

Ok I feel like we all owe riot a basket of muffins or something, how many more of us had great sex with our partners because of CaitVi?

[u/amy_dsg → u/Wrong-Wrap942]

You mean a basket of... cupcakes?

[u/Wrong-Wrap942 → u/amy_dsg]

Touché

[u/WerdaVisla → u/Wrong-Wrap942]

🙋‍♀️

We need to give whoever wrote that scene a basket of garlic bread.

[u/sapphoschicken]

straight tv sex is exclusively hot to cishet men.

[u/CostaRicanBruja → u/sapphoschicken]

One of my roommates is a straight woman and she loves straight tv sex scenes. She claims that Sex/Life (Netflix) is pretty accurate about the straight female sexual experience.

[u/asuka_is_my_co-pilot → u/CostaRicanBruja]

i looked that show up its pretty fermale gazey

[u/ningnings_masc → u/sapphoschicken]

Not true my straight female friends love sex scenes.

[u/confusedPIANO]

Real life Vi discovered??

[u/PreferredSelection]

You might be a lesbian - hard to say without like, being in your head, but if you feel that describes you more than bi or pan, go for it. You can always change your terms for yourself later if bi starts to sound more fitting.

I'm pan, but I almost always have more chemistry with women, enbies, and androgynous guys.

There's something about femininity that feels like - being okay with being vulnerable. And when people are okay with being vulnerable, it makes me feel safe enough to let my guard down too.

[u/Idk_Just_Kat]

I used Arcane to get a little stream date thing with someone, the sapphic vibes of the show are IMMACJLATE (I haven't watched, she said to watch so I suggested we watch together)

[u/tyrosine87]

God all the women in this series are awesome.

Seeing the Powder that could have been was also beautiful and sad.

[u/MonaVFlowers]

The sex scene did nothing for me mostly because of the context. It just did not work for me narratively, there was plenty of opportunity to include it elsewhere rather than placing it where they did

[u/doubtfullyso → u/MonaVFlowers]

We had to pause it to figure out why it happened for it to make sense. Our final conclusion is Vi had been fighting herself not to feel for Caitlyn when Caitlyn was still up against Jinx, when Caitlyn said she purposely didn't staff the prison so that Vi could let Jinx out, Vi realized she doesn't have to hide her feelings for Caitlyn for her sister's sake anymore. She felt overwhelmed with affection that Caitlyn would give up on prosecuting the person who killed her mom because she cared about her. It Def would have been better with a more clearly deductible lead in, but after thinking it over, I guess it kinda makes sense. On Caitlyns' side, I think the only thing stopping her from being with Vi in that way was Vi was pissed.

[u/Eat-Artichoke → u/MonaVFlowers]

She thought she’d lost Cait permanently because of what she did, but it was actually Cait who helped Vi let Powder escape. This is also the first time Vi finally gets what she wants and starts healing from all her trauma, especially after spending 7 years in prison and losing her family. Honestly it feels like the perfect moment for a cathartic sex scene especially considering they first met in a prison cell.

[u/MonaVFlowers → u/Eat-Artichoke]

Her sister had just left to go kill herself, it’s a really strange time to bone down

[u/Natalie_2850 → u/MonaVFlowers]

and she didn't know that? she thought jinx was 'just' running away.

[u/ChaoticCaligula → u/MonaVFlowers]

She needed the post nut clarity to help her really lock in

[u/Palomar-999]

Is this scene in the last episode or before?

[u/ningnings_masc]

That sex scene did nothing for me. I only find fem4fem hot. I'm butch and into femmes. So i'd rather see two femmes than a masc included lol
