This is actually genius omg XD

(Arcane season 2 spoilers)
(Seriously massive spoilers)
(scroll past because the title will spoiler you already)
I can prove Jinx is alive
with a lot of knowledge and deductions
This is based off of a few other theories which I will link respectively.
This theory begins with another theory: Powder made it to our universe.
In the scene where all of these papers fly up, a head with her hairstyle is visible and... in animation, no accidents happen. (Excluding the possibility the animators are sadistic fucks) This means that Powder traveled through universes. So far, so good.
Now, it's very likely she used the machine which Ekko and Heimerdinger rip left behind for this since she helped build it yadayadayada. We can't know for certain the way this machine works, but I would suggest that it works in the same way the Arcane travel that brought these three there in the first place worked since... when Ekko gets back, it all slots into place and he's back in his body. More on this later.
One characteristic of this way of interdimensional travel is that you can't travel to a dimension where you are dead, the explanation for why Jayce doesn't come with the others to the 'happy end' dimension (or the Arcane has its own will and brought him where he landed because of it but that's boring) because in this one, Vi died, the council prohibited the hextech experiments completely so Viktor didn't come to him and... well. (I unfortunately didn't find where I read that his death is why he isn't in this dimension, but I did somewhere).
This means that in order to travel into a dimension, you need to be alive in this very dimension. NOW if Powder traveled to our dimension, that means that Jinx must have been alive at the time of her travel and since we saw Jinx sacrifice herself for Vi when she was very much herself, this means she must've survived the fall so Powder could travel there and take over her body. Also, we see Powder in the end scene and since she'd take over Jinx' body when she travels dimensions, Jinx' body must've been alive at the end of the story.
Now. What does this mean for Jinx? Where is she?
She is alive, that much is clear now, but where is her psyche if her body is controlled by Powder?
There are two options really, and it boils down to how inter dimensional travel works.
Option 1: when you travel to a different dimension, you take over your other selves' body and they just kinda get knocked out. This would mean that while Ekko was in the other universe, parallel!Ekko was just kind of nowhere. This doesn't make that much sense to me since it would mean there's a forward and backward direction for travelling.
Forward means you stack a soul on top of another one, backward means that the soul gets sent back. It's kind of possible, but a bit dull and rough around the edges. Also, this would mean the machine Ekko and Heimerdinger built is specifically designed to bring them BACK which means Powder couldn't have used it to travel forth so... it's a bit scuffed.
Option 2: Symmetrical travel. When you travel to another universe, the soul from that universe possesses YOUR body in turn. This means that the way forward and the way backward is exactly the same, the minds get switched and the direction doesn't matter. This would more easily allow Powder to use the machine to travel forward into another universe since it's the same procedure as travelling backwards. A way to prove this would be to check if Ekko's or Heimerdinger's body have been active in OUR universe while they were there. Actually, now that I think about it, this would mean there IS still an alive Heimerdinger in our universe. This theory makes more sense to me, though, again, that would mean there's someone controlling your body in your universe while you're controlling theirs.
Now, this means that, option 1: Jinx would just be KO while Powder has control of her body BUT option 2 would be: Jinx is in the 'happy end' universe while Powder is in ours which is also just a lot more interesting.
Maybe I'll check if I can find proof for option 2, but this is it in the meantime. BUT anyway, Jinx is alive! And this also means Ekko COULD still get his happy end (I made this theory for him, poor boy deserves a happy end), with Jinx or with Powder.
Good Job! Your situationship worked out in the end! You have three options to proceed:
Overcome class differences to fuck in a prison cell.
Use your love to transcend humanity and save the world.
Fall in love only to be trapped in different timelines.
The 20-seconds that penelope sings in the epic musical, then the orchestral after makes me so emotional I genuinely started crying the first time I heard it. (It was a starfire x nightwing edit, been a shipper since DAY 1)
You can hear the emotions you can feel the yearning. The way she's affirming to him that she will fall for every version of him that exists and will exist. She does not care who he's become. He is still hers after all these years.
I swear the past 6 months has just been me having tragic and bittersweet ships.
Bless the original hellsite for enabling me to post this entire post-season-two saga in full.
No one gets that one of the core themes of this damn show is love.
Love motivated Vander to protect Vi, Powder, Myles and Claggor.
Love motivated Vi to continually fight for Jinx.
Love motivated Jayce to explore magic as it saved his mom.
Love motivated Viktor to give the rune to Jayce
Love for science motivated Viktor and Jayce to create Hextech
Love motivated Singe to do absolutely terrible things to save his daughter.
Love was the catalyst for every action every character did.
something something despite the all horrors and tragedies of the world, love was there and that's all that matters
"Cait is a bad person!!" "Everything was better without Vi!!" "Jayce was wrong!!" "Vi was a bad big sister!!!" "Jinx is a bad person!!"
Oh my god. Every single character is flawed. Because everyone as humans are flawed. Believe it or not no single character in that show is entirely perfect or entirely evil and that's why it's beautiful.
Arcane act 3 destroyed me it shattered my soul
Valentine’s Day tomorrow, so here’s some text posts + my fav arcane ships 💘💌
little bonus 🤪
quick little timebomb x taylor crash-out bc I will never get over them 💔
IS ANYONE ELSE TERRIBLY INTRIGUED ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE ARCANE S2 SOUNDTRACK TRACK 10??? LIKE???
It has to be someone suuuper cool for the song's title and artist to remain unknown when we know the rest of the soundtrack!
This is what it looks like on Spotify:
Time Bomb
I'm a ticking time bomb
A bottle full of pressure
The cork is stuck
I won’t give them a warning to duck
Will shatter into a million pieces
A broken pencil
Not usable or wanted
You get taunted
Never picked first
But yet I get picked on first
Yet if someone just sharpened me…never
They still won’t let me pull the lever
I'm treading in high water and I'm getting tired
Going to blow eventually
No one can see all the pressure rising higher yet
Later, they might have regrets
What will they say when you explode?
Is that what they want?
They’ll laugh at the exploded mess,
And your unrealistic progress
Good luck picking yourself back up
Why don’t they just shut up already?
Why don’t you just open up to someone
Instead of hiding behind a zinger or a pun
Ever wonder why Ekko always kept close to Jinx during the battle? Like, how he was always at her side within seconds that he realised she's in danger?
Well you see...uhhh....
It's cause of Jinx's signature move "You think I'm dying? No bitch WE dying"
Yeah, Jinx's solution to whenever she's backed into a corner during a fight is to blow herself up, and to hopefully take both of them out.
I love how everyone was awwing at "look at how protective Ekko is of Jinx" when we saw him immediately appear the second she was in danger.
Yeah well ahskkkkshdjk THERE'S A VERY GOOD REASON FOR THAT!
Here have some Arcane Jinx Memes as a little appetizer for Season 2 (it's almost here!!!)

Incorrect Arcane Texts pt.5 cuz yas
Words cannot describe how much I love them with the entirety of my heart and soul 🫶 maybe in another timeline they're all happy together and having fun doing silly little things like drawing together, or playing fun little games together, silly stuff like that ✨ (this is real episode 6 never happened Isha is alive trust me)

Incorrect arcane texts pt.3 bitches
Everything here honestly
Stromae wrote Ma Meilleure Ennemie about a couple who both love and hate each other. We hear both of their perspectives through his and Pomme's individual verses which seem to directly allude to Ekko and Jinx's feelings for each other (later confirmed by the AMV). It was such a turning point for timebomb because it was the first instance of the ship appearing to be more than just a one-sided crush on Ekko's part.
The Coldplay remix goes back to square one with an additional yearning verse for Ekko but yet again nothing from Jinx's POV, making the relationship portrayed in the song unbalanced. Normally, I would be floored by the unashamedly down-bad lyrics - but in the context of how Ekko's character was reduced entirely to his relationship with Jinx and her development in season 2 - all these lyrics about him worshipping her like a goddess just leave a sour taste in my mouth.

I know I really only talk about CaitVi on here since this is a CaitVi fanfic blog, but the way the Arcane depicted a devastating "what could have been but never was" tragedy in Jinx and Ekko destroyed me when I watched it. Just watching this 2.5 minute music video fucked me up all over again.
LOOK AT THEM!! I'm a goddamn mess 😭😭 Fortiche, you rat bastards. Stop making me cry!
