The Symbolism Of Seeing This Shot Fly Behind Vi’s Head. Even Though They’re Killing Jinx And Not

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..."

I'm sorry but Silco having his jacket tucked inside Vander's is just so intimate.

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

Arcane is not a subtle show and I am not complaining in the slightest.

Silco really pulled a jinx and accidently killed one of his found family members, either with a bomb or by stoking the enforces rage whilst trying to help them. And then Vander took out his rage on Silco and tried to kill him (something Vander clearly regretted, but dam man) like it's no wonder Silco imprinted on Jinx so hard, they practically have the exact same backstory.

It could also explain why he hates Vi so much, as aside from her ruining his plans she's like the second coming of Vander to him. So, he ended pushing all of his unresolved hatred to Vander onto her, it actually explains why he went so feral during the dinner party.

Silco and Jinx even have the same hair like this is not funny, at this point I wouldn't even be surprised if Silco also used to make bombs and gadgets in the past.

give them a week and they would fix literally every problem in Piltover and Zaun

I bet some of y'all have wondered why Jinx, despite having all of these keen senses and impeccable reflexes, just simply allows Isha to just fall right on her. If you ask me I think this a great way of demonstrating how Jinx views her own life and the lives of others.

She could've easily stepped out of the way of Isha's fall, which would no doubt hurt Isha a lot more in the process and spare Jinx herself any pain. But because Jinx chose to break her fall (and save Isha from serious injury), it shows that despite all that she's been through and despite all of her destructive and violent tendencies, there is still a piece of humanity in her, as she allows herself to be hurt herself to save someone else.

And that brings us to another critical (and very tragic) detail about this scene: SHE DOESN'T MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO PROTECT HERSELF. She doesn't make any sort of attempt to catch Isha in her arms, and she doesn't even attempt to shield herself from the fall and just takes it all full force. In other words, she didn't just allow herself to get hurt; SHE WANTS TO GET HURT. And we see that mindset later when she says "No matter what I do, I just can't seem to die."

So when she says that she wants to "watch it all burn," she wants herself to burn as well because all of that pain and trauma she witnessed and endured has finally driven her to a point where she values her own life so little, and that's made all the more tragic by the fact that she still cares the lives of others (i.e. Vi and Isha).

As if I didn't feel sorry for her enough.

what if cafe au? ☕
