Ekko and tea served by Jayce vs served by Jinx

Just got reminded of that after the bridge scene Ekko GOES BACK to check her pulse, and caress her face and JUST STARES AT HER?? I’m sobbing at 7AM in the morning and I have school in an hour wtf man

Apparently Jinx didn’t like fighting Ekko on that fucking bridge and I think that’s very accurate, but like holy SHIT Idk the pure fact that Ekko dodged the explosion, watched Jinx sit there as she was blown up because she simply didn’t want to try anymore and Ekko goes back to check her pulse? He goes back to caress her face and see if she’s still alive?? He’s actively thinking that’s the last time he’ll see her! His big sad soft eyes mixed with regret and worry as he sees the girl he love(s/d) battered and bruised because they were forced to fight.

Me seeing a post that says " the Prisoners throne Spoilers " : OMG it's finally Oak/Wren related

Post was actually just jurdan :

Me : incoherent screaming

My kid doesn't mess with pistols; you're gonna carry a rifle.

About the loyalty part, let's not forget that Gwen was a 16 years old homeless girl without any support except Spider society. She was brainwashed by the elderly people who she thought they understood as a fellow hero. She thought she did the right thing.

Jinx was brainwashed too, but her actions were more harmful to Ekko. She killed his people for Silco.

Both of them did things for the people they thought were right. But in the end, they felt guilty about it, when they freed themselves from the influence of others and they did the right thing. They followed their gut.

We can't compare them, saying the one was right and the other not, because that's not true. There's no black and white, there's grey.

And these characters are both morally grey heroes.

If you bring one down because you don't like the ship, I am sorry but you are no better from the people comparing them positively

I am SO tired of people comparing Timebomb to Ghostflower, do NOT insult my babies Jinx and Ekko like that

Timebomb absolutely clears Ghostflower anyday

First of all, I feel like most of y’all are just “drawing parallels” where there really aren’t many because they’re both animated interracial couples (black dude/white girl) with dimensional issues

Their actual relationships are NOTHINGGG alike

Timebomb has HISTORY. They were best friends, they were enemies, and they LOVE each other. They both have trauma and difficult situations. They live in a society where they face insane oppression and class struggle. THAT is their story.

No hate to Ghostflower fans but that ship is genuinely horrible and has nowhere near the level of connection that Timebomb does, it’s very surface-level imo like a silly little teenage romance.

And Jinx, as much as she was ready to kill Ekko, never sold his identity out to Silco even though she knew he was the leader of the Firelights…just saying. (Looking at you Gwen)

Timebomb is what Ghostflower THINKS it is

And when it comes to the actual characters, they’re not similar at all. You cannot tell me you can draw a SINGLE similarity between Jinx and Gwen (or even Powder and Gwen) that isn’t completely surface level. I can see where some people come from with Miles and Ekko (they both paint murals and are smart Ig) but still I feel like y’all are just saying this because they’re both black. Miles is an awkward teenager facing the burden of being Spiderman, whereas Ekko is the leader of a gang/group that is actively fighting against the oppression they as a group face to make their lives better. He’s shaped by his environment. Ekko is also genius on an insane level in comparison to Miles…

Anyways no hate to anyone who likes Ghostflower (or these characters because I may have dissed them a lil bit) but if I see one more person acting like the two ships are the same I’m actually gonna cry

And do not say “it’s not that serious it’s all for fun blah blah blah” because it is, to me it is

badass aunt + chaotic niece

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.
