Okay so I rewatched Arcane for the 5th time and realize in ep 2 when the song begin and we see the disk with the two girls on it, that one girl (the one who is supposed to represent Caitlyn) with the yellow dress is surrounded by what looks like a puddle of water whereas the green dressed girl has most of her body surrounded by something that looks like oil..I mean it's most certainly my shipper brain speaking here but I can't help thinking about the oil and water scene !

I have a few posts referring to this very vinyl here, so it's not just your shipping brain :')

but let's look at it again because you're onto something I hadn't even thought about:

There's definitely a pond under the girl dressed in all while and it turns into darker stains on what looks like sand, which could definitely be interpreted as oil.

The two girls mimic Cait and Vi's position on the bed later on:

An anon came up with the theory of opposing colors to demonstrate how Caitlyn's purple outfit is contrasted with yellow accents if you look at the little girl's shoes on the left. The green dress is a direct opposition to Vi's red jacket. Take a look:

If that depiction being Cait and Vi wasn't obvious enough, they added a blue bow in the hair of the girl who's meant to represent Caitlyn. They added a red ribbon in the other girl's hair. It perfectly matches Caitlyn and Vi's hair color.

NOW THIS??? They made a direct reference to the oil and water scene in the vinyl's freaking background. I can't believe I hadn't noticed the pond before.

The lyrics of Our Love are already filled with water imagery (bubblin' fountain, flows into the sea, deeper than any ocean, the rain will fall), so it signaled Caitlyn and Vi's love to me... but when you combine that with the vinyl and everything else about its portrayal... it's hard to deny.

There you have it folks. This vinyl is Caitlyn and Vi. There's not a doubt in my mind that this was intentionally them.

+ Edit : the leaves on the side of the disk are definitely olivier’s leaves (which are often represented in oil products in France like for cooking or in beauty because we use olive oil a lot xp) and since Fortiche is a French studio. So I think this can be definitely be oil ^^
