they’re so cute help me

puppy ! regressor maddie nolen headcanons !!

requested by @goldenbetryal . love love puppy ! maddie she's meee ૮>ﻌ < აﾉ”. i'll have everyone know i was a maddiecel since the beginning she's ackshually me idc. gleep ! the puppy ever ! look how puppy in the middle picture :CC arcane masterlist here , upcoming list here

maddie is such a curious little puppy ! she gets horrifically upset when she gets into trouble but sometimes she can't help it when she's curious about something ! she's curious about everything , sometimes getting carried away following a butterfly or something of the sorts and getting lost.

maddie who realizes she's lost and immediately plops down on her bum and just starts sobbing. mama caitlyn had jinx install a little tracker on her collar for incidents like these. there's usually someone who recognizes maddie as caitlyn's little one, leading her to a safe spot and trying to calm her down until her mama can get to her.

she loves going on walks ! she loves when caitlyn puts on her leash , she loves being mama's girl. caitlyn always scratches behind her ear and gives her nose kisses when she's putting on her leash which makes the puppy giggle. on energetic days mama will have to tug on her leash if she's running ahead too far. she'll whine in response, padding back to caitlyn and walking obediently at her side the rest of the way.

maddie LOVES treats ! she has a real sweet tooth and especially loves bone shaped snacks and cookies. she can get a little jumpy but as soon as she's ordered to sit she'll do so oh so obediently.

caitlyn knows how embarrassed maddie is by needing diaps so she tries to make her feel better by getting her cute puppy themed ones ! maddie who is so embarrassed when caitlyn tells her she got her special diapers but whose tail starts wagging when she sees them. "you like them, pup?" caitlyn asks, chuckling. maddie yips, licking her mama's face.

maddie likes to dig a lot. sometimes she'll dig holes in the lawn and then someone will step outside and trip .... uh oh ! caitlyn will make her fill the holes back in, giving her a stern look which makes maddie whimper, hanging her head as she does as she's told though reluctantly. she's not trying to be bad she's just a pup !

when she knows she's done something naughty like this she's very hard on herself, tail between her legs isolating herself from mama. caitlyn gives her lots of kisses and reassurance. "oh hush now. you're not bad , mads. you were just playing , huh?"

Hey not to get too into a ship like 8 people like, but where's the vampire Caitlyn with human Jinx and the whole meaning of going against your nature

The baby is tired (im the baby)

Idk I feel like making Maddie Nolen a traitor loyal to Ambessa does an extreme disservice not just to Maddie's character but also to the potential political message of Arcane. Had Maddie really, truly been earnest and kind and compassionate the whole time, and had she died in the battle, it would have done so much more for her, for Caitlyn, for the show. Here is a gentle character whose life and innocence would've been stripped from her because of war, because of imperialism. Here is a ray of sunshine who followed Caitlyn loyally through thick and thin, who shows Cait price of working with other oppressors.

But also: here is the bubbly character with a smile, the first to eagerly join in to a descent to fascism and martial law. Here is the "good cop", the gentle enforcer, who faithfully joins in a quest that involves gassing innocents of a city. Here is a kind soul, but also a soul who after expressing some doubts about the methods used, continues to work directly with and as the oppressors of innocents. Even the best of the enforcers is a part of the unjust oppression of Zaun.

Instead, she's written off as a spy, a mole, bad all along. Any nuance that her character could have brought is stripped away and she's killed and discarded without a second glance. The enforcers as a whole I feel could've been approached with more nuance, and she would've been a part of it. Instead, she's one-dimensional, a complete turncoat.

Oh no…
