the waist is SNATCHED (I dont eat🧍♂️)
How do you all like my waist?
THEORY TIME
So I actually cried over Arcane ending. By that final airship scene really made me think. I think that means that Jinx IS alive (powder saying she wanted to ride an airship) you COULD interpret the ballon she and Ekko show up in as an airship, but I like to think that she is inside that last airship. I think that’s why the animators and writers included that scene. Jinx is leaving Zaun and Piltover, they have too many bad memories after all, and going someplace new. I think this also allows for Vi to move on, because Jinx would still be punished for her actions unfortunately. I also think that the final scene with Vander and the young sisters maybe means Warwick sacrificed the remaining parts of him to give Jinx a second chance.
This could just be me coping though. I think they left Jinx’s fate unknown on purpose. It’s our story to interpret after all.
UPDATE: in the final explosion of the series, if you slow it down you can see a random pink streak fly away. I think it’s similar to Jinx’s shimmer trails in previous episodes. Caitlyn also narrows down on the tunnels to leave the Hexgates, so maybe!!
Wasteland
I forgot to share this piece whoops! Anyways I relate a bit too much to Jinx and was hit hard this season
Something i thought of at late at night for my stupid au, jinx has job au? Pilltower jinx au? Idk what to call this au. So yall can decide!
But anyway! Back to the shitpost!
Jayce: so powder, how did you even learn about hextex? No offense but i don't think you had this kind of stuff in zaun...
Powder: oh me and my sister and our friends just rob some guy and he had these excact crystal but more unstable, yk!
Jayce: you what-?!
And this is how jayce found out his stuff got stolen by his intern and which also caused a chain reaction to him meeting viktor. And now he doesn't know wether to mad at powder for stealling from him or be happy because of the robery he could meet his wonderfull boyfriend, partner
Hey! So sorry for not posting for a while! (I've been flooded by work!) But i rencently finished jinx s2! (I can't wait for act 3!!!) But to get to my main point!
So i saw a post (i don't remember on what app so sorry but i can't give credit!😓)
Anyway the post was saying just how smart jinx is. How she learned about hextex and understood how to use it like jayce and viktor did. So i've been thinking for a while....
A what if AU! what if Silco and Vander raised Powder and Vi together (everything is okay au, no trauma. Everyone is alive. No bad guy Silco. The kids still rob Jayce though.) So they make zaun an diplomatic and self run country? State? Idk... But like it's not part of pilltower. And so powder, grown up and raised mostly by silco because of his genius inventions. And she gets inrolled in pilltowers academy (can't remember the name rn, sorry!) and ofcourse she gets her diploma and because of her interest in hextex she gets to intern for jayce and Viktor. And hijinx insue. That's it. Thats the au. Everyone is happy and jinxe gets a job
Jinx: But I should've known better...
Nothing ever stays dead~
⏱️💥
who's cutting onions in here! 😩
that moment is everything I wished for, they just melt my heart. I was so excited to finally draw these two since I love them so much, I wanna draw more cute timebomb in the future if I manage 👉👈(JINX IS ALIVE AND THEY LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER OKAY FIGHT ME 😤)
SHOP.
1. Yes they have to fight, 2. Tell me who’s fighting who in the tags! (I’ll add the most ridiculous combos in a reblog)
you were a full time job I thought I'd never miss
If I had a nickel for every time I saw a child prodigy whose only dream was to prove themself to their family, but instead, through a tragic accident, they turned into a suicidal pyromaniac, I'd have two nickels, which isn't much, but it's odd that it happened twice.
My two beloved children with tragic past and broken present. Touya is destined to meet girls like Toga and Jinx X))
Sorry for being late, I don't think most of these are as much of a challenge than the first, but I would still like to recommend.
This second one is mostly a vibe that I like, I dore the lyrics but it doesn't come with subtitles in english 😭
Also, you see RoR? 👀🤝 I made the Buddha meme in the header myself.
new favourite song unlocked?
so sad Sevika and Ambessa didn't get included tho 😔 (but Singed did😭)
I can also see it as a Reverse AU from season one, as Jinx did her best to get rid of Powder, a part of herself that because of her guilt just held her back and hurt her, both in her and Silco's eyes.
It would be interesting to see Jinx slowly building up into Powder, Powder looking at Jinx as a monster, having the same relationship with one another, hating each other, not wanting to accept the small part of the other that lives in each other.
If it's the Jinx at the end of season 1 and start of season 2 I can totally see a scene where both girls fight for control, which turns into Jinx lashing out of everyone around while Powder cries, only for both of them to stop at Silco's voice, he wasn't even talking to her, just asking what was going on, but it's enough to let Jinx let go so Powder can be comforted by the others. Powder would be so confused as, why Silco? Why not stop at Ekko (her boyfriend), Mylo/Claggor (her brothers) or Vander (her dad)?
If Jinx jumps towards Silco, tackling him and hugging him, then she won.
If she breaks the cycle, Powder won.
(Also, Monkey vs Bunny as a theme would be going hard for these two.)
Were they ever really that different?
But Isha did have something special for Jinx, it was Jinx's inner child, who was just hurt by seeing Vi with the enforcer uniform. Up until that moment Jinx already had come in terms that Vi was not in her side, that she would not put her over Caitlyn (who is an enforcer). But to have to see her as her enemy, and no only that, but the enemy who killed their parents, hurts her, so she does a tantrum very similar to the one Powder did when Vi, Mylo and Claggor left her behind to save Vander in Season 1 Act 1.
Isha has parralels with Powder, mostly in the fact that Isha is a "little devil" and a wildcard that is weak, sly and eager to join the older people around her in what their adventures and try to make herself useful when in reality she is the most vulnerable spot of the gang.
Jinx doesn't have a reason to hurt Isha, so at first she does nothing. She never plans anything with Isha in all act one, Isha just seems to follow her around and Sevika and Jinx just don't bother with her as she didn't get on the way. Before the fight with Vi and Caitlyn none of the women seem to even address her. She is just there, her fault if she gets hurt.
Because they, unlike Silco who saw himself in the little girl who was betrayed and abandoned by her older sister, didn't feel responsible for Isha until act 2, where she was already part of the gang with a time skip that had the girls bond over just being girls. Because after Isha saved her and decided already she would stay by Jinx's side, holding tight into her just like Powder (I'm convinced she was Jinx in that moment, but still) did with Silco, Jinx didn't have a reason to send her away as she planned to waste away anyway. She was already partially suicidal, no purpose in her life, but ended havibg fun with what resulted in her own Powder, who unlike with Silco, she doesn't view as herself, bit it's her inner child, who she had a chance to fix and heal. Silco got attatched to her daughter in a blink of an eye because he saw himself on her, we can infer Jinx got attatched to Isha slowly as a result of time together given by a "why not".
And Jinx was never a monster like Silco was, every kid SHE orphaned (not Silco) was an enemie's children. Caitlyn (who was probably THE person Vi was refering to to be able to say Jinx orphaned children, as Vi didn't really care about all the enforces Jinx killed so she had to go for the hypothetic children to condem her instead), Marcus' daughter, and any child of any enforcer and councilor that died because of her doing. She orphans Piltover's children, and the child she gassed's as of Piltover as well, and he wasn't targeted in particular, he just had the luck to be there when Jinx and Sevika set the paint bombs (event that I remind you, the Undercity children were cheering on). Isha is from the Undercity, so she gets a benefit of a doubt of being left to be as long as she doesn't get in the way children of Piltover would never, because they are from and with the enemy.
Jinx is not meant to be a morally good character, but she is not Silco's worst. Isha was different BECAUSE Jinx got attatched to her and reminded her of Powder, but besides that, as a Zaunite kid that didn't get in the way, she was already different to any kid Jinx hurt directly and indirectly.
Isha from the start rubbed me the wrong way but I ignored it.
I think they reason why I ignored it was that many times before s2 came out it did occur to me that Jinx would likely bond the easiest with kids. That since she’s so childish in a lot of ways it would be easier for her to interact and find common ground with a kid, it would be the first time in her life that the familial power dynamic would be reversed, it’d be interesting to see her in an irresponsible but fun big sis role. And initially it seems that that’s what they were doing with Isha so I wanted to give her a chance.
In retrospect I think the reason why it felt off to me from the start is that what they did in ep 2, which introduces Isha and reintroduces us to Jinx, was they gave us a metaphorical scene portraying Jinx’s grief, then we see her walking to music for a minute and immediately after that Isha falls into her lap. We saw nothing of Isha whatsoever before that moment and we never learn anything about her past, she was never a character. The story’s visuals create parallels between this meeting and Silco and Powder's meeting, and like many parallels in s2 it falls flat cos the parallel just highlights how those two are not the same at all.
In s1a1 we spend 3 eps with Silco and Powder individually, with it never occurring to us and the story never hinting at these characters ever coming together. After all this time of establishing what each character has going for them, what makes them tick, and with some visual hints sprinkled in ep 3 we get to their first meeting and even tho you’d never anticipate it the characters immediately click and you GET IT. The characters’ pains and emotions and connections and goals that we’ve explored for 3 eps slot with each other perfectly. What happened when Isha met Jinx for the first time? she fell into her lap. ok.
Like at this point in their lives Silco and Jinx were monsters, and with Silco you need to give me a good reason why this kid was special and he didn’t stab her, and in the same way you need to explain what’s so special about Isha that differentiates her from all the other kids that Jinx apparently orphaned or that one piltover kid (and more) that she gassed.
Another reason for Vi to pull out might be the phrase "Everything might have been different" as she doesn't know how to approach Jinx's "what if", because it not only implies that Vander wouldn't have "died". It also implies that Jinx, like seemingly happened in the other universe, she could have had both Vander and Silco.
Jinx being the sister that becomes the symbol is important because she is both Vander's and Silco's daughter, she is the legacy shaped by Vander's heart and Silco's ambition, even if she lacks both of them for several parts in the series. But only Vander is Vi's father, and Silco is just the main reason her life became miserable, even without being "responsible for making/forcing Jinx from Powder", so she can't step in.
Even in the other universe she doesn't get Silco as a father, or as a positive part of her life. That idea is so "other" to her that even in another Universe Vi doesn't get to experience that "what if", so she pulls away.
Damn, this scene right here where Vi reaches out to her to comfort Jinx just KILLS me every time.
It's a very small scene, but it carries so much weight because it shows how, despite all that's happened, Vi's love for her sister is still very much present, and the bitterness and resentment she felt toward her all those years ago are withering away.
I also love that when she retracts her hand, she doesn't do it forcefully or speedily, which would indicate hostility or resentment. She does it gently as if she's saying to herself, "Maybe I'll just give her some space for now."
As great as the big emotional scenes are (e.g., Vander reuniting with her daughters), you CANNOT undervalue the little moments that made them all the more impactful.
me when jinx.... i love jinx...😞 mayhaps might draw viktor or silco next but i really need to learn the arcane style
jinxpunzel!!
jinx cosplay currently in progress!!
new art 🫡 NOT A SHIP they are father and daughter ty
Thinking about how the arcane artists and designers made sure isha had big eyes to make us see her more innocent and childlike (and make her death hurt even more.) They do this with the other children in the main cast, but with Isha they make sure to push it further, her eyes were bigger, full of wonder joy and innocence, just to make her have a stronger impact as a character
They do this same thing to powder to an extent, they don’t push it as far with her character but they do it, this plays in to how jinx and powder’s character models change, one of the main differences is her eyes because eyes are so key when it comes to character design and shape language and how we perceive each character
Character design save me save me character design…
