Also I need Amanda to never touch another butch lesbian character thats apart of an oppressed group ever again because she handled vi so terribly and in such a disrespectful way on so many levels
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.
"Mein Arm hing aus dem Fenster, mein Kopf lag auf meinem Arm. Wir fuhren Tempo 30 zwischen Wiesen und Feldern hindurch, über denen langsam die Sonne aufging, irgendwo hinter Rahnsdorf, und es war das Schönste und Seltsamste, was ich je erlebt habe. [...] Tschick hatte sich auf seiner Seite auch aus dem Fenster gehängt und steuerte den Wagen mit der rechten Hand eine kleine Anhöhe hinauf. Es war, als ob der Lada von alleine durch die Felder fuhr, es war ein ganz anderes Fahren, eine andere Welt. Alles war größer, die Farben satter, die Geräusche Dolby Surround, und ich hätte mich, ehrlich gesagt, nicht gewundert, wenn auf einemal Tony Soprano, ein Dinosaurier oder ein Raumschiff vor uns aufgetaucht wäre."

vi should have been able to learn how to prioritize and take care of herself without jinx needing to leave her </3 literally no one can convince me that jinx HAD to leave in order for vi to learn how to put herself first. i honestly think jinx leaving makes things much worse for vi
and on that note, there was no legitimate reason vi and jinx had to separate. "jinx had to leave to break the cycle" makes NO SENSE. the cycle was ALREADY BROKEN, in act 2, when vi and jinx reconciled!!!
i would have been on board with their separation if the writers went down a route that's like "vi and jinx's relationship becomes too toxic to be sustainable" or something of that nature. but they didn't do that. NOTHING in the show tells me that vi and jinx HAVE to be separated
This shot is actually great foreshadowing because it predicts the writers of arcane completely demolishing the relationship of Vi and Jinx and it's importance to the entire series in favour of their undercooked wlw ship
TW: Stalking
Realistically, I would be WAY too scared and nervous to ever actually approach my f/o and would prolly just follow him around quietly. And that used to make me sad, until I realized that he would probably LIKE being stalked.
Like, he’s such a self obsessed horny bastard he’d eat up all that attention.
He’d prolly do really teasing shit to. Like, if he caught me peeking on him through his window, he’d pretend to not notice and immediately start getting undressed in the most flashy way he possibly can.
Or he’d notice me eavesdropping on one of his conversations so he’d put in a little comment like “Oh y’know I just love a man with {insert one of my traits}” just to fuck with me.

oops…
Uhhh
