GIRL WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR ABOUT SHIFTERS
you are the wolf
SITUATION(S) DO NOT MATTER TO SHIFT
the location you shift in DOES NOT MATTER you can shift on the toilet, in bed, on the bus, in the shower, etc. anywhere that you can stand, sit, or lay down you CAN shift in.
those dogs barking, water running, people talking, random noises. don’t matter in the slightest, you can shift within a second so what does it matter?
the type of bed sheets you have do not matter, your skin / limbs touching don’t matter, the chair your in doesn’t matter. nothing matters.
Always a dance with you.
I wanted to see Vi’s reaction to Cait’s dracula outfit but despite going to the commune wearing it, Caitlyn changed her outfit right before ambushing Vi in ep 6 🥲
“your religion is evil!”
they scream as i lay in front of my altar whispering to father Apollon about my day and how much i enjoy his presence and what i’m going to do to honour him in the best way i can
A revision of Ekko and Jinx’s ending because I think we all know they deserved to be together:
Ekko stood amidst the ruins of what once was, the matchstick trembling in his fingers. He stared at the paper—a ghost of the girl he used to know, the girl he had lost. Jinx. Gone. He’d told himself he’d moved on, but it was a lie. He hadn’t. He couldn’t.
The flame consumed the edge of the paper, curling it inward. The drawing burned slowly, and for a moment, it felt like everything burned with it—his memories, his hope, his guilt.
As the embers died and he let the ashes drift from his palm, a voice, soft and unnervingly familiar, pierced the stillness.
"That’s not how you should say goodbye to someone."
Ekko froze, his breath catching. His blood turned to ice, then fire, as he whirled around. She stood there, bathed in the dim light of the city’s chaos, her hair wild and vivid, her expression caught somewhere between a smirk and sorrow.
“Jinx?” he breathed, disbelief cracking his voice.
Her eyes, that eerie, unnatural pink, softened for just a second. “The one and only.”
For a moment, he could only stare, his heart pounding against his ribs. Every emotion he’d buried clawed its way to the surface—grief, rage, joy, confusion. He stepped closer, his hands clenching and unclenching. “You’re alive?” His voice was barely above a whisper. “Vi said—she told me you were dead.”
“She needed to think that,” Jinx replied, her voice quiet, almost fragile. “It had to stay that way. For her. For everyone.”
“That doesn’t make any sense!” Ekko snapped, anger flashing in his eyes. “She thinks she failed you! She thinks you’re gone because of her. Hell, I—” He broke off, running a hand through his hair. “You let us believe you were dead? Why?”
Jinx’s gaze flickered, her smile fading. “Because I couldn’t stay. Not after everything. Not after Silco. Powder died a long time ago, Ekko. And Jinx... Jinx doesn’t fit in their world. She never did.”
“That’s bullshit!” Ekko shot back, his voice breaking. “You could’ve come back. We would’ve found a way.”
She shook her head, her laugh bitter and sharp. “No, you wouldn’t. You all deserve to be happy. Vi, Cait, you... You deserve a future without me screwing it up.” Her voice wavered as she added, “You’re better without me.”
Ekko stared at her, his chest tightening. “You think disappearing fixes anything? You think leaving makes it hurt less? You don’t get to decide that for us, Jinx!”
Her breath hitched, and for a second, the mask cracked. “I had to. Don’t you get it? I destroy everything I touch. Vi... Silco... even you, Ekko. The last thing I wanted was to ruin you too.”
“You didn’t ruin me,” he said, his voice dropping, softer now. “You’re not a bomb waiting to go off, Jinx. You’re—you’re just hurt. And maybe we all failed you, but that doesn’t mean you had to run.”
The words hung heavy between them, both of them locked in the weight of their shared history. She shifted uncomfortably, wrapping her arms around herself like she was bracing for impact. “I didn’t run. I left so you wouldn’t have to watch me fall apart.”
Ekko stepped closer, his voice a raw whisper. “I would’ve stayed. I would’ve fought for you. I—I still would.”
Jinx’s eyes flickered up to meet his, something trembling and uncertain in her gaze. “You’re an idiot, Ekko.”
“Yeah,” he said, his lips quirking into a sad smile. “Guess I always was when it came to you.”
She looked down, her voice cracking. “You shouldn’t have to carry me anymore.”
“I’m not letting you go,” Ekko said firmly. “Not again.”
For a moment, she didn’t move, didn’t speak. And then, slowly, her arms dropped to her sides, and she stepped forward, closing the space between them. Ekko felt her hands curl into the fabric of his shirt, pulling him closer. He wrapped his arms around her instinctively, holding her tight, like if he let go, she’d vanish all over again.
“I missed you,” she whispered into his shoulder. “More than anything.”
He swallowed hard, his voice shaking. “You don’t get to say that and walk away again, Jinx. You don’t.”
She pulled back, just enough to look at him, her fingers brushing his cheek. “I can’t stay here, Ekko. Not in Zaun. Not with everything I’ve done.”
“Then I’m coming with you.”
Her eyes widened, panic flickering across her face. “Ekko—no. This is my mess.”
“I don’t care,” he interrupted, his voice steady. “I’m not losing you again. Wherever you’re going, I’m going too.”
Jinx hesitated, her breath hitching. For once, the chaos in her eyes seemed to still. “You’d really leave everything behind? The Firelights? Zaun?”
“You’re worth it,” he said simply.
For a moment, all she could do was stare at him. And then, slowly, her lips quirked into a fragile smile, and she leaned forward, pressing her forehead against his.
“You’re so stupid, Little Man,” she murmured.
“And you’re still impossible,” he replied, a faint chuckle breaking through the tension.
She kissed him then, fierce and messy and desperate, like it was both a promise and an apology. When they broke apart, her hand lingered on his cheek, her thumb brushing his skin.
“Okay,” she whispered. “Let’s go.”
And together, they turned toward the shadows, leaving the ruins of their past behind.
“Come to bed.”
Silco had been so consumed with the paperwork in front of him, he hadn’t heard you open the door and pad over beside him. His already drooping, soft eyes warmed when he leaned back in his seat. “Sit with me, darling,” he cooed in that raspy tome of his. “Then we can go.”
You ungracefully straddled Silco’s lap. His nimble finger rubbed your back through one of the fuzzy blanket you’d acquired. The clock struck one in the morning when you finally stumbled out of bed in search of your love.
A barely audible hum escaped Silco’s throat. “You’re so good to me,” he mutters absently. A sleepy sigh heaves your body as you curl into him. You say nothing.
“Come to bed, Sil,” you say again- this time with a yawn. When Silco finally rises- with you in his arms- you smile lethargically as he shuts the lights off and closes the office door.
