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

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!)
Arcane said “why is peace always the justification for violence” and then shows a peace in Viktors vision that was only won by turning from violence and breaking away from the fight. And then it’s destroyed for violence, to win a WAR somewhere else, far away, at the demands of a warlord. It’s destroyed for power, forcing one man to kill that which he loves for the sake of chaos. This show always knows exactly what it’s saying huh? League of Legends game tv show you really are everything, huh?
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
oh im gonna kill myself
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
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.
The brightness of the Sun will give me just enough
