ohhhhhhh something just hit me while i was watching this scene again
this episode is called "the monster you created"... talking about jinx, of course. "you" is either vi or silco, or both, or the entire system that created these circumstances.
but. BUT.
another monster was created in this episode. the monster jinx created. the cycle of violence continues, baby!
(thanks @solidsmax for the gif!)
"You're the only one I have left..."
this is killing me
so many parallels
when Isha remembers Jinx, when she thinks about the love that's about to inform her violence and sacrifice, and for brief glimpses we see Powder's blue eyes flicker again
a few days ago I woke up in the middle of night and wrote a series of haikus about jayvik
Based on the thought that viktor probably gets used to the feeling of Jayce hands wether it’s for comfort, joy, support etc to the point he basically waiting and yearning for the next time it happens again Here is the text again in the proper format:
I am drawn to you your intelligence, your care are clouding my mind
The warmth of your hand for a moment I forget it is you and I I grow used to it the way you let it linger so cold when you leave longing to feel it again, waiting, desperate when will it return? Oh just one more time My mind, my body, pleading rest your hands on me
just realised that jinx was the product of all three of them. she was raised by felicia, then vander, then silco. sounds like felicia, leads like vander, fights like silco. has her smile, his heart and his wits. has her braid and his scruff and his bangs. she's the best of them. i cant get over it
i'm still thinking about how after sevika questioned why jinx repaired her arm, jinx replied with "it was something i could fix", like that line was kind of glossed over but honestly i think it really speaks of jinx's character, especially given how earlier in the episode, she says how she only sees herself as a curse for everyone that gets close to her, and even for the whole society. even though she never really got on with sevika, she saw that she needed her arm repaired, the arm that sevika lost because of jinx, and thought that even though she has ruined everything, she could fix at least this one thing.
Ngl lowkey what I actually expected from this scene🤭
