All I wrote in the script here was “Vi raises an eyebrow, curious.” And what I got was an emotional revelation. I’ll never get tired of watching this. 👀👀

- I mean he does say she could use some rest, full well knowing there was a girl waiting for her in her bedroom. 😏
- From a cut scene: WOMAN: “I have to say, it's always nice to meet another curious woman...” She means hot. She's laying it on. Caitlyn's got her primed for secret spilling, but -- She just now notices Vi's gone. Shit. Caitlyn leaves a disappointed woman in her wake.
- I happened to be in an animation review when this shot came up and Christian asked me if I thought he should keep the wink or not, I said “I like a little sass on Vi.” Another brilliant touch by a Fortiche animator. ✨
GIF - Can we just take a moment to appreciate how much work went into 2 seconds of this show?? 👀👀 Background artists, character and prop designers, animators, sound design, loop group and a myriad more I’m surely missing. Stunning. ✨
- Milking it even in the script… “A final moment of CONNECTION between the two women... Before the mist swallows Vi.” The folks at Fortiche added this cheek caress from Vi, and then had Caitlyn return the gesture later, which I thought was a lovely little parallel. 💕The way #CaitlynKiramman looks after #viarcane, realizing this might be the last time she ever sees her alive. The fear of losing her is written all over her face and I am not okay. #Arcane #Caitvi #CaitlynxVi #piltoverfinest
GIF - Vi gives good hugs because Vander gives good hugs.
- I had the privilege of giving this baby girl her last name! Here's the first thing I wrote about her: "Caitlyn is a KIRAMMAN. And that’s all anyone ever bothers to learn about her. If you’re a fellow member of the Piltovan elite, the Kiramman reputation is all you need to know."Your past doesn't define you. Misfits grow up. #Arcane
00:00 - "Caitlyn sees the pain hidden beneath Vi's rage, decides to trust --"Would trade all the Hextech in Piltover to know what she's thinking...
- Script tidbit: “Vi parkours like only a native can. She enjoys her new freedom. Everything she does with ease, Caitlyn survives through sheer force of will -- This is Caitlyn's introduction to the undercity and Vi's homecoming.”I completely lost it here -
GIF - We have a running joke that the Arcane darlings graveyard looks like Arlington, and I usually write at least 4 drafts before I consider a script fit for human consumption, (aka the first round of notes). But this scene is 5 words shorter than the very first time I wrote it.

- This old yordle is perhaps the silliest thing I did? And it makes me laugh every time. 😂😂looking respectfully #Arcane
