still love this ad by @wandakunpls (she's the one behind all the amazing album covers for arcane's ost, most famously for ma meilleure ennemie), it's just so cute, goofy and heartwarming
love this trend of jinx straight up jumping on ekko <3
Miles would go either for physics or art, maybe he could be an animator making comics or animations with physics themes. I think Miles is a person who would like to do as many things as possible, so he would take both physics and art, and get a job that feels right to him.
As for Gwen, I think she would be a P.E. teacher since she was part of the gymnastic team, and maybe she could be a part time ballerina teacher. Also, I can see her being a music teacher, and since she is good at English, she practices her own songs and teaches people how to do it. She would definitely do something to express herself daily at her work.
They are both very creative in many ways and I don't think they could settle down in one job. They would try as many things as possible, until they are satisfied to find a proper one. But, Miles definitely would end up doing something with art, and Gwen being a teacher is something that I can see happening.
Seriously, I could yap more about why I think they would go for this careers, but I will spare y'all 🫡
Sam: "What's with the girls and make up? Like, seriously, they are so fake! How insecure about boys they must be to use it!?"
Jazz: "Aren't you wearing mascara, lipstick and eyeliner?"
Sam: "..."
Sam: "I don't know what you are talking about. It's my natural look!"
Watching Arcane is torture. Rewatching it is especially cruel.
But the realisation that as Ekko jumps into battle, we get more confirmation that Jinx's cloak is one of the sheets she put up in her lair for Isha, and that the first lyrics to Come Play are 'you're not alone' symbolising yet again that she's got both of them at her back in this fight....
Just hand me the shovel. I'll dig my own grave
Gwen: "So, i get called emo, killer, murder, bitch, betraying bitch, unfaithful and many other unpleasant things"
Gwen: "For the people in the back...
I AM JUST SIXTEEN! I AM TRYING HERE, OK!?"
Miles, Pavitr, Hobie, Peter, Margo and Jessica: "Everyone makes mistakes, you 'perfect' shits! Let us be!"
why do they compel me so
Peeta: hey Haymitch, what do you do if your wife is giving you the silent treatment?
Haymitch: boy, do I look married to you? Idk.
Peeta: WAIT! You and Effie had us OUT OF WEDLOCK?!? Katniss and I are bastards???
Haymitch: get the fuck out of here.
Peeta *while getting shoved out the door*: no! *unrestrained laughter* Katniss will be heartbroken! First we’re in an incest marriage and now we’re bastards?! *boy gets shoved HARD* OW! Why must you do this to me father!!

Timebomb haters are actually just not literate at all “Ekko would never love Jinx!!!” DID WE WATCH THE SAME SHOW??? ARE YOU BLIND??? YOU CANT BE FR RN
“I ship him with Powder but not Jinx” THEYRE THE SAME FUCKING PERSON THAT WAS THE ENTIRE POINT OF EPISODE 7. IT WAS ABOUT HIM REALIZING THAT HE STILL LOVES JINX (and that he gave up on her too soon) BECAUSE THEYRE THE SAME FUCKING PERSON. JINX IS POWDER BUT WITH 10x MORE TRAUMA AND NO SUPPORT SYSTEM. You people take the whole Powder/Jinx thing too literally when it’s just about how your experiences shape who you are, she’s THE SAME PERSON EITHER WAY.
“Jinx isn’t mentally well enough to be in a relationship” Stop treating mentally ill characters like they cannot be loved or love others. THEY CAN. This hurts my soul as someone who has family members with schizophrenia and hallucinations and plenty of mental illness myself. Ekko wants her to be better, and it’s obvious she loves him too. THE SHOW SHOULDNT NEED TO SPELL IT OUT THE SUBTEXT IS THERE.
“Oh but Lux-” I will shove Ekko’s staff up your ass if you don’t stfu about Lux who isn’t even in Arcane. Idc if you ship them BUT LEAVE TIMEBOMB OUT OF THIS
So I read something the other day talking about how fans are making Ekko and Jinx's relationship romantic and not all male and female characters HAVE to be romantically involved. I agree with this. I'll go so far as to say that this is true for any character of any gender. In my own writing (with my original characters) I rarely have romantic undertones. Mostly just friends being friends. While I get the allure of the romantic chase, of most people we deal with in life we aren't connecting to them romantically. Friends are friends.
That said, this is not the case with Ekko and Jinx. From Ekko's release in 2015 there has always been some romantic undertones with Jinx. Riot has always been a bit mysterious about what his relationship is with Jinx. Ekko even has a line in the game where he says:
The foundation had been laid long before Arcane was released in 2021.
Between 2015 and 2021 (when Arcane was released), a lot of official art and such dropped hints about SOMETHING going on between them. Much like Jinx being Vi's sister. You have to remember that this was originally a secret. It was Ghostcrawler who finally confirmed fan theories, even though he tried to walk it back later. Oops! Ha, ha!
(An image from 2015)
To add to the mystery, on both of their official pages, Ekko is listed as connected to Jinx and Jinx is listed as connected to Ekko. However, at no point does Riot explain how they're connected. Their stories don't mention the other at all. So this means that some things were planned, but they weren't ready to reveal. I'm still of a mind that they were waiting to use Arcane as a vehicle to get into Jinx's history and how that intersected with Ekko and Vi. Before Arcane, we knew very little about Jinx and how she ends up the way she does.
Then, before Arcane came out we got this little nugget in Legends of Runeterra:
Remember, this is 100% from Riot themselves. Not the fans. Riot laid the seeds down and it was the fans who picked up on it and ran. I doubt anyone would have ever thought there was something between Ekko and Jinx without Riot dropping hints. By the time we got to Arcane Season 1, the train was already in motion.
Let's not even forget the insane number of Jinx references in the True Damage video they released in 2020. Generally it wasn't odd to see Ekko and there would be some sort of Jinx reference somewhere. That wasn't true for Jinx until recently.
After Arcane, Riot themselves has been dropping hints like crazy. Jinx has been putting Ekko's hourglass symbol on stuff. League Brazil did a huge Twitter AMA with Star Guardian Ekko and Jinx. Jinx goes to the Grammys with Ekko.
Another official Ekko and Jinx moment. Check out her shirt!
And let's not forget this one for the Billboard Music Awards:
They went to the event together!
So...while I see people saying that the fans were to blame for Jinx and Ekko being romantically involved, it should be pointed out that this is all Riot's doing. The best part is that the fans have been largely receptive to their efforts in promoting the couple. Riot has waited a long time to be able to say what they want to say about them.
And if there is any doubt about where they're going with them as a couple, let's just remember this cover for the art book for Arcane:
Another official piece done by Riot and Fortiche themselves.
Sorry for the long post, but I thought it was important to point out that it's not the fans who set this up. It'll be interesting to see where this all goes, but based on their track record so far, it should be clear where the end game is headed.
Thanks for reading!
Im glad LOL confrimed Freak4Freak in Timebomb. Jinx really did rip that man pants and wear them as leg warmer. Like damn girl- we get it he is your man.
An fuckin Ekko everyone looking at him yet the only eyes he has for is Jinx INSANE EKKO INSANE!!
