Vi's Prison Wife (hear me out)

My hc is simple. This is Gert. I think Gert was Vi's prison wife. Or one of them anyway. (s2 spoilers incoming)

In the alternate universe, she works at the Last Drop and is a DJ, I think it's safe to say she seems well-established in the Zaunite community, likely grew up in the area, and probably knew, or at least knew of, Vander and his kids in our universe, too.

We know she's political and not afraid to buck the system. I can easily see her getting arrested as young adult and being glad to see a familiar face in Vi.

Gert don't give a fuck about compliance with enforcers:

And here we can see she seems to like the ladies (sorry other-Mylo):

Then, when she's dying and they start to take her helmet off, here's Vi's reaction from the smallest glimpse of her dreads alone:

That's it. That's all she sees and we get this moment:

She knows exactly who this is without even seeing her face. She looks shocked and scared. Sure she probably wouldn't have had blue hair at the time she's in prison, but we do know she bleaches it in the other universe, so maybe she's always liked to change it up. Regardless, I think Vi sees the dreads, maybe her complexion, and just knows.

With her last breath, what does Gert do? She reaches for Vi who holds her hand right as she slips away. Her last act was to seek comfort from the familiar face in front of her- probably because that is the face of the woman who comforted her in Stillwater prison as well.

Vi is gutted and in disbelief, so much so that she has to be hoisted to her feet and literally dragged away by another enforcer.

So that's it. I think Gert had a proper prison sentence for an actual crime, shacked up with Vi, taught her a thing or two about a thing or two, and was released long before Cait got Vi out. I think watching her die in the middle of this war was the first time Vi had seen her since Stillwater and that is why it hits her on a personal level.

Caitvi defenders getting mad at me for hating. But you’re saying that the mistress, Maddie, get to sleep in Caitlyn's castle room, princess bed with a robe but Vi "wHoM sHe LoVeS sO MuCh" get to scrape her knees on cold cement in a prison cell where she was locked up her entire life, plus her sister?

May this love never find me 🙏🙏

One thing I hate about modern media creation is this absolutely lazy-ass “explaining in post” that writers feel compelled to engage in on social media and interviews.

The hard pivot from “if there’s textual evidence for your interpretation, it’s valid” to “just ask the creator and integrate that information into your understanding of the text” truly drives me insane. Especially when creators often leave out these details completely because they can just go on twitter and vomit out the information that they failed to cleverly integrate later.

I will be totally honest. I have never once been happy hearing a writer reveal information that wasn’t telegraphed in the story itself. Not fucking once.

“why do you ship them? I thought the ship wasn’t canon?” bro we’re talking about fictional characters, who don’t actually exist in real life, from a media that focuses solely on fictional events that are not real either. so what if these two made-up characters didn’t kiss in their source material? they have lots of nasty gay sex on archive of our own and thousands of novel length slow burn enemies to lovers fics written about them. the fanon content at this point far exceeds the whole canonical franchise. the problem isn’t “it’s not canon” the problem is that you don’t allow yourself to let go of canon and enjoy the wonder of fan contents that are just as good / valid

whatever they had between them in that episode is so meaningful to me
