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
Ekko: "Please, don't blow us both up!"
Jinx:
jinx doodling little hearts around ekko whenever he shows up in the artbook, oh shes never beating the down bad allegations
"Ekko would have never loved Jinx, as much as he did Powder"
See this is where you're wrong.
He loves her.
It didn't matter if she was Jinx or Powder...he never stopped loving her...no matter how many times he tried to convince himself otherwise.
No matter how many times they were on opposite sides.
Even though he gave up on her....
He would always love her.
half the internet right now:
Don't worry, guys! The deleted scene explains everything!
Insane that Jinx showed the “worst” of herself to the child to drive the kid away only for the child to see the humanity in Jinx and risk their life to save her
Somebody end me. Of course the official Jinx Figurine has the Loose Cannon wearing the Boy Savior's fucking jacket.
Of course the tft trailer has Jinx looking softly at Ekko for a split-second before looking away, and this time it is Ekko looking at Jinx with such warmth and admiration.
Somebody fucking push me off a goddamn cliff, I can't take this shit anymore.
"Ah, if it isn't Zaun's royalty. My liege."
Ekko: Should we head over to Piltover now or let them suffer for a bit? *Both laugh* Ekko: Okay, serious question this time – what do you want me to draw on you?
Because on first watch, I expected this was going to be something negative. Ekko trying to defend why he'd been so hostile to Powder. 'You're not the kind of person who helps... because you destroy things,' or something to that effect.
But no.
oh
What a way to look at Jinx?? Even with everything she's done... He looks at this well-adjusted, 'ideal' Powder, and still thinks she's missing something that his Jinx has. The Powder that he knew was so determined to make something that mattered... it's a Powder who's content to play second-fiddle to the people around her, a Powder that settles that feels off to him.
And that ties into why he can't stay here. Our Ekko isn't the kind of person who settles either.
Mais ma meilleure ennemie, c'est toi Fuis-moi, le pire, c'est toi et moi
Jinx was holding her so soft here
Imma start taking my son away from some of yall because i be seeing the most heinous takes.
"Ekko only cares about Powder and would never love Jinx."
THE WHOLE POINT OF HIM GOING BACK IS BECAUSE HE REALIZED HE NEEDED TO LOVE JINX AS MUCH AS HE LOVED POWDERD. THEY ARE THE FUCKING SAME PERSON. AND IF HE ONLY CARED ABOUT ONE SIDE HE WOULD HAVE STAYED HIS ASS IN THE ALT DIMENSION!
They were both hurting, they both did and said shit they didn't mean. Ekko looking at Powder healthy and happy made him realize. Jinx could heal, that his love didn't just stop. It never went away, he still loved her. Its why he gentle with her, why he rewinds time. Its why he corrects himself.
Jinxs will literally haunt him because all this time spent angry could have been used to reset like they did when they finally talked.
GOD- don't piss me off slandering my son.
Leaks of the cut scenes from the team up preparation !!

The Queen and The King are both beautifully doomed by narrative
Arcane, real end
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.
Zaun's royalty
It seems they didn’t understand that Ekko had always been in love with every side of her. He just needed to put the rivalry aside and think about it to understand.
Ekko saved everyone, except the girl he was learning to accept that he liked again, and Ekko was willing to start over again… it was very cruel 🤧
I can't do this rn
The straights, the lesbians and the gays
I don't want to hear another "timebomb is a crack ship" comment again
give bro his girl back im so serious this is destroying me
I FORGOT I MADE THESE😭😭😭😭ILOVE ARCANE😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Do you think we’re soulmates in another universe?
NO LIKE IMAGINE SPENDING TIME WITH HER IN ANOTHER UNIVERSE WHERE SHES OKAY, WHERE YOURE BOTH OKAY THEN WHEN YOU GET BACK TO YOURS YOU TRY TO MEND THINGS BACK BUT IN THE END YOU LOSE HER
Literally don't even care about anything else right now because I won 😤
For one sister to be happy, the other has to die
