Another reason for Vi to pull out might be the phrase "Everything might have been different" as she doesn't know how to approach Jinx's "what if", because it not only implies that Vander wouldn't have "died". It also implies that Jinx, like seemingly happened in the other universe, she could have had both Vander and Silco.

Jinx being the sister that becomes the symbol is important because she is both Vander's and Silco's daughter, she is the legacy shaped by Vander's heart and Silco's ambition, even if she lacks both of them for several parts in the series. But only Vander is Vi's father, and Silco is just the main reason her life became miserable, even without being "responsible for making/forcing Jinx from Powder", so she can't step in.

Even in the other universe she doesn't get Silco as a father, or as a positive part of her life. That idea is so "other" to her that even in another Universe Vi doesn't get to experience that "what if", so she pulls away.

Damn, this scene right here where Vi reaches out to her to comfort Jinx just KILLS me every time.

It's a very small scene, but it carries so much weight because it shows how, despite all that's happened, Vi's love for her sister is still very much present, and the bitterness and resentment she felt toward her all those years ago are withering away.

I also love that when she retracts her hand, she doesn't do it forcefully or speedily, which would indicate hostility or resentment. She does it gently as if she's saying to herself, "Maybe I'll just give her some space for now."

As great as the big emotional scenes are (e.g., Vander reuniting with her daughters), you CANNOT undervalue the little moments that made them all the more impactful.

I was going to amend this with the absolute galaxy-brained steamy romance that is ScarSteb, but it appears others have beaten me to it

Arcane rarepair ideas

Tobias x Ximena

Finding love again and helping each other mourn, they seem like they would be very gentle and sweet to each other. Would add a new layer to Caitlyn and Jayce’s sibling dynamic

Babette x Jericho

I actually don’t have a logical argument for this one, but if you’re looking for size difference, look no further

Isha x Ren

I’m putting on my “Isha is alive” truther hat for this one. Over a decade after the battle in Piltover, Ren is working in a clinic in Zaun specializing in Chemtech prosthetics, to try and make sure she does more good than her father did. A young woman starts coming in for maintenance for both of her prosthetic arms. She’s mysterious, always wearing a strange helmet with a bunny mask, only talking to people through sign language. She starts taking Ren around the city, showing her places to go dancing, where to get messy but delicious food, and the calm quiet places where they can be alone. Ren begins to truly fall in love with Zaun, it’s people, and one person in particular. One night, while she’s showing Ren a place among the Firelight bugs, the girl writes a name on the wall “Isha” and removes her mask. Her face is completely covered in glowing blue scars, she seems very self-conscious of them, but Ren tells her she is utterly beautiful and kisses her

We can’t erase our mistakes, none of us… Well Ekko can if he’s fast enough

I haven’t seen Red One and don’t plan to, so I don’t want to hate on it too much, but how DARE hollywood try to make that the most well known J.K. Simmons as Santa Claus movie
