Silco Arcane - Blog Posts
arcane but Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind au with Vi as Joel, Caitlyn as Clementine, Maddie as Patrick, Jinx as Mary, Silco as Dr. Howard, and Ekko as Stan
it can’t just be me who thinks this is a good idea…
Steal their look 👗
Official confirmation that Silco has noble motives and does things for Zaun's independence rather than his own selfish gain since some people forget he
Expresses his desire for Zaun to be free through whatever means necessary multiple times throughout the show (including talking about this dream being everything he and Vander wanted while all alone at Vander's statue with no reason to lie) meanwhile the chembarons only talk about their business
Was willing to give up shimmer, the thing keeping not only his empire but himself alive for independence
Had no choice but to use the black market and child labor to raise money much like Vander and Benzo, as Piltover controls exports and gatekeeps technological advancements. (Not to mention Piltover made child labor a part of Zaun's economy in the first place).
Had no choice but to use force and intimidation against Piltover and the enforcers since they refuse to give Zaun any representation or respect even after a violent revolution and Vander's reign of submission towards topside. When Sevika allies with topside against viktor/noxus despite everything, the best they can do is a single council seat (Zaun makes up at least half of the city's population) on a majority vote council that sneers at Sevika the moment they see her. And even this is likely the result of Caitlyn, Jayce, and Mel having to fight for a seat to be given to Zaun. Yet Silco's aggressive Zaun was offered full blown independence and unrestricted access to the hexgates?
Chooses to stay in the Last Drop within the heart and lower levels of Zaun. He stays in a modest little office where he (as was confirmed in one of the Arcane DVD bonus features) tolerates the noise of the scene below because he knows his lackeys enjoy it. The blanket on the couch in his office could also imply that he sleeps on it rather than a bed? Compare this to the chembarons, who stay in the upper levers of Zaun where the wealthiest Zaunites typically reside, where there is more sunlight and clean air. They indulge in elaborate and flamboyant body modifications and refined forms of recreational shimmer that do not carry the same negative consequences as the kind used by the more impoverished. They cannot even tolerate the gas that plagued the streets before Zaun "became an enterprise" (which he says with a note of disgust).
He couldn't simply go to war with Piltover and be done with it. His plan was to use the edge gained by shimmer to intimidate them, but unfortunately hextech was invented at the exact same time. By the time Silco had the resources he needed, whatever edge shimmer gave Zaun became useless as Piltover advanced in hextech, leaving Zaun behind once again. Silco already tried fighting Topside once, resulting in the slaughter of numerous Zaunites and defeat- before hextech was a thing. With hextech Jayce and Vi easily used inventions that weren't even meant as weapons to take down the chem tanks and destroy the factory. Silco isn't going to make the same mistake again, there is no point in fighting when they have no chance, just as Jayce points out. He needs to wait for the right opportunity, hence he "does nothing" as many Silco haters like to say, for seven years. And this is precisely why he pressures Jinx to create that weapon (and perhaps orders Warwick's creation), because until Zaun has hextech or some other edge there isn't much he can do.

Age regressor Silco headcannons
⭐A toddler regressor, very quiet too when he's regressed unless he's in a tantrum
⭐Super secretive about it like the only people to ever find out were Vander, Felicia, and Jinx
⭐Regresses from stress which is normally from his workload or drama happening with the chembarons or shipment issues. Used to also be from loud parties and the last drop being too crowded
⭐Has a secret room filled with regressor things that he warns Sevika and his other workers to NEVER go into and to not bother him when he's in there no matter what
⭐Used to be a very well behaved little that just liked to make drawings and play with blocks but after his falling out with Vander he became very fussy and would throw tantrums almost every time he regressed
⭐Masks that he's regressed if he can't get to his safe room which normally means turning his 'crying and hitting the ground' tantrums into a 'beating up and firing the person closest to him' tantrum
⭐The others have learned how to pick up that he's about to throw a tantrum and leave as soon as there are warning signs
⭐This scene was one of his tantrums (s01e06, 'guns for hire' scene)
⭐Most of Jinx caregiving for him is her teaching him how to play as a kid and not just cry and hit stuff
⭐They doodle over stuff together, Silco is always a lot more shy with drawing over random things but Jinx gets him to open up
⭐By the end his art style is almost the same as hers. his drawings start out super scratchy, only using greys and stuff but they turn really colourful
⭐he loves having all his plushies and bottles covered in Jinx's drawings
⭐At first she tries to avoid drawing on his stuff to give him space when he's regressed but she finds he clings onto anything she's drawn on and she starts decorating more of his stuff
⭐If he's feeling really little she'll blow stuff up cause he likes the pretty colours but he always gets mad at her when he's big again
⭐ Jinx also regresses and she started suspecting he might when he first saw her regressed and immediately knew what was going on
⭐one day she heard him sobbing in his safe room and went in
⭐he was super upset and told her to get out but eventually she was able to get him to open up about it and she promised to care for him whenever he needs it
⭐sometimes Sevika will find their agere things around and Jinx will always take responsibility for it
Past Vander and Felica Stuff:
⭐Vander first found out when Silco went into a backroom of the last drop when it got too loud. Vander followed to check up on him and Silco quickly put away his notebook and crayons he was drawing with and tried to do his best impression of being big. Vander wasn't convinced Silco was okay and kept checking in on him.
⭐Later Vander followed up with Silco, asking him if he was actually okay back then and Silco admitted to him he regresses. he was really worried Vander would find him weird or think it was for weird reasons but Vander just asked him more about it and how he can help
⭐Vander then got Silco a bunch of stuff, markers, bottles, stickers, anything he could find
⭐Silco loved being held by Vander, it made him feel so small, being in Vander's big arms
⭐Felica found out when she walked in on Vander taking care of Silco. Vander tried really hard to cover for Silco but Silco decided he trusted her enough to tell her his secret
⭐She would occasionally take care of Silco if Vander was busy but he never liked her style of cging as much
⭐but when Vi was on the way he starting letting her be his cg a lot more so she could get some practice in and feel more sure of herself
⭐he would always be sure to tell her how good of a mama she is
I feel like Silco and Kaz Brekker would be allies who are wary of each other but also respect each other in their own twisted way.
