oh, that explains a lot.
it especially explains why I felt like ma meilleure ennemie was so specifically about ekko and jinx's relationship and their feelings for each other, yet it didn't feel like "let's explain everything that happens" type of song, it's more about exploring what went and still goes on between them behind the scenes, exploring what we don't get a chance to see.
it's like connecting the dots, in a good way, like you see the full picture after you complete the puzzle.
anyway, stromae is a genius and I am, as always, right this makes me wanna scream even more about "pretend like it's the first time" and how great it is.
I'm gonna replace Yuwen and Taylor with Kai and Laurie 😔
Tiana and Naveen
Miles and Gwen
Powder/Jinx and Ekko
Penny and Kareem
Yuwen and Taylor
I'm heavily medicated right now, so bear with me.
I've seen a lot of theories about how the ash on Jinx's face is smudged and all, so I looked at the shots very carefully, it could be smudged BUT. I looked at it so much that I missed the obvious. Her whole body is a different place and position ! And now we know Ekko was actually there. Nobody else was until Silco arrived.
Look:
1. How Jinx looked after the explosion both at the end of 1×7 and in Ekkos memories.
2. How Silco found her. Forget the ash and look at the hair, it's away from her face and her arm is down. I took the screens before he touched her at all.
3.Position of her arm over her belly as if she had been carried.
Now for the location.
4. This is where Ekko found her, right next to the line. Notice her hair over her head.
5 and 6, this is where Silco found her, further away on the bridge, and her hair is down, again, as if she was carried and put down.
7. I know I'm right, validate me please.
Did somebody already point this out and I'm a moron ? Well...
Timebomb is real, any other ship about them doesn't make sense when they have so much depth and such a beautiful history together.
I'll die on this take ✋🏽
I love that Ma Meilleure Ennemie plays during the Ekko/Powder dance, because that song is about Ekko and Jinx.
That dance is Ekko coming to terms with the fact that regardless of what name she goes by, regardless of all the pain they can cause each other in the wrong circumstances, he still loves her.
It's why the first thing he does after the dance is lament that he gave up on Jinx, and why Powder tells him that she has never seen him give up on anything.
It's also why when he gets back to Jinx, he makes the conscious choice of calling her Jinx instead of Powder.
Because he loves her, he never stopped loving her, he just stopped believing there was still good in her. But now, he chooses to believe in her, and it's that belief that gives Jinx the strength to walk off that ledge and to give life one more chance.
Jinx: You love me, right?
Ekko: Normally, I would say yes without hesitation, but I feel like this is going somewhere and I don't like it.

Why are the media full of brain-rot people!?
Like, why are there still people with full confidence go around, screaming "Ekko loves Powder, not Jinx" or "Ekko wants to change her back to Powder"
My brother in Christ, sybau!
If you watched the series with your eyes closed and ignore the creators on the matter, that's a you issue and not the ship!
Watch the series again, the mv, listen the lyrics of the song, which is talking about Ekko and JINX and leave me the fuck alone
TIMEBOMB DOUBTERS, WHO’S A FUNNY-LOOKING RAT NOW?
Someone called Kai x Laurie “goldielocs” and now i wanna cry 😭😭😭
Ekko: Okay, but what if we went to dinner not as friends this time?
Jinx: as ENEMIES!?
Ekko:
