EXACTLY.
it isn't just that "Vi thought Jinx left her in that cell", it's more than that
in a really short time, Vi thought she had both Jinx and Vander back, briefly hoped she might get Caitlyn back, then lost Vander again, nearly died, and woke up to the news that after all that progress things were back at the start 6 months prior, that she was going to have to get between Caitlyn and her sister again and possibly lose both again
she didn't get down to Jinx's cell with a rational plan and a clear head - she was desperately clinging to the last hope she had to make things right (in her head, right meaning = having both Jinx and Caitlyn in her life)
yes, she thought Caitlyn would be angry at her, but she also hoped that if Jinx redeemed herself in the eyes of Piltover, she might redeem herself in Cait's eyes too somewhere down the line
was it a good, rational plan? nope. but at that point Vi was one Warwick away from having a complete mental breakdown herself and she was running out of time (the war with Noxus being on their doorstep and all)
and then, not only did Jinx reject that plan, she punched her and locked her in that cell, separating them again. It doesn't matter what words Jinx used in that moment, doesn't matter what she said - Vi could hear her words, see her attitude, but she wasn't in the headspace necessary to listen. She was too caught up in her own grief and despair to pay attention!
she had been clinging to one last hope and she lost it - thought she had lost everyone, for good this time, and that it was her fault. she was basically back in prison (literally thanks to Jinx, but this was also pulling her back to how she felt after her initial separation with Powder in S1)
really, it's no wonder she had such a strong reaction to Caitlyn afterwards
YES

A hot wife caring for her family.
(In my mind, Vi birthed Vincent, and Cait birthed Camille. But their personalities are a mix of both of them, and it's just so cute)
this is just part 1. Yes. There's more. There's a lot. I almost died. But my brain wouldn't leave me alone part 2

Arcane/CaitVi is a lifestyle. I have been writing for years now and this is the first time a piece of media has given me the motivation to write about two specific characters and their perspectives with this insane amount of detail. I'm currently working on a research paper about Silco's Shimmer Business. A RESEARCH PAPER. WITH APA CITATIONS. FOR FUN. I am a full-time college student with two minors and a part-time job, where the fuck am I getting the time to do this??
Well, I decided that my notebooks won't see the light of day. Let at least a couple of tumblr posts save the memory of this.
...
Headcanon that's been roaming my brain since the finale: Vi reads every book on Cait's library, an incredible amount of poetry if I dare say. And after a while she starts leaving notes between the pages of her favorite ones. Not only about the content of the book, but her analysis of their shared experiences as a couple, or just random love letters, thoughts. And I argue that spending that amount of time with Cait does end up changing the way she expresses herself (at least on paper, god knows she won't leave her room if others realize just how much of a softie she actually is lol)
Here's one of the notes:
"The desire hidden on scars left by wars represents the most acclaimed liberty: Love. Loving courageously in these circumstances means shedding the identities that are no longer needed for survival. To choose, for once, one's happiness before those false responsibilities we adjudged to ourselves creates a new scheme under which we build our corresponding destiny. When confidence becomes evident, coherent thoughts are impossible to create. The faithful glances, the expecting laughs, and the warm under my hands wrap reality into a space where loving you is the only thing that matters."
My take on the "Jinx being alive at the end of S2" theory. Caitlyn's POV:
"How does a weapon like her deems fit to claim rights over the love I want for myself? The suffering she has brought is heavier than any excuse they might express for that behavior. It makes no sense; to have this many people following her cruel and selfish motivations. It is too late to redeem such a corrupted and evil soul. I choose to live in the tranquility of negligence for a little bit longer. I am tired of chasing the ghost of what I once though human."
Things I've written thinking about Caitlyn Kiramman:
"A reputation is living for others in the effort of embracing yourself. Losing ideals that aren't meant to be shared and the youth that would have allowed you to thrive. A reputation locks their views into what they want to perceive from your reality. A reputation keeps you alive in the eyes of society. And we all want to be remembered because a will to live can only come from the desperation of being someone deserving of love"
