“She wanted to stay there, you know. Tin-can Man’s Commune. Obvious culty shit going on. But she thought we could—it would be…good. For us.”--Viktor's commune has much to offer Vi; a chance to heal Vander and a place where her (reunited) family can be safe. It's no wonder she's a little blind to the obvious fact that it's a cult.In the aftermath of the ensuing explosion, Caitlyn finds this information concerning to hear. With Vi's future hanging in the balance, she must confront the blood on her own hands.ch.1 - Vi's POV throughout Act 2 (2.2k)ch.2 - Caitlyn's POV in the space between Act 2 + 3 (6k)ch.3 - Vi and Caitlyn Dual POV discussing the (brief!) time wherein Vi (slightly!) believed Viktor's Commune could do some good.

hello hello, just wanted to expand on one of the details I found to be the most interesting in S2 Act 2 aka the sister's very different reactions to Viktor's commune. Jinx is very put off by it whereas Vi is more willing to consider staying which speaks greatly to the difference in their headspaces.to be clear, this is NOT fodder in the "vi is dumb" head cannon (imagine if we stopped infantilizing the butch<3). cults do not prey on people who are "dumb" or "weak". they prey on strong, capable people who are missing something. and after act 1, I can't quite imagine anyone who is missing anything more than Vi.
