Jinx even says it herself, Silco is convinced that he made “Jinx” because that was his goal, making her identity to fit alongside his own. Hopefully the Silco stans understand me here, I enjoy his writing and character too, he’s just not a good person and that’s alright— it’s compelling.

plus with the added information from S2, Silco and Jinx bonding over their almost one to one backstory is more fodder for their enmeshment. They relate so heavily to eachother, Silco projects completely on her.

it constantly reminds the audience that even with the fact Silco cares for her, he is actively preying on her and her life. He is not a good father, but he is a loving one; because of how he sees himself in her.

people latch onto the fatherly part of Silco while ignoring the purpose that it serves. They’re using that bond of father and daughter to display the lack of boundaries that /should/ define their relationship.

the writing behind Silco and Jinx’s relationship is so well done, and makes everything completely uncomfortable revolving them.

I have a ps5, and talk with other people who play games constantly and not one of us has ever heard of it, lol.

riot fighting tooth and nail to call vik and jayce “brothers” is the funniest thing to me. Have you even seen them.

for something they couldn’t fix or never understood in the first place despite how Piltover pits them against eachother.

They couldn’t change their beginning, because of Piltover’s perpetuation of the poverty and discrimination in Zaun, but in the end they break that cycle because they no longer blame themselves or eachother +

When to allow them to heal, the pacing of that, so on are not easy to decide especially with the cuts they had to make. I think it could’ve been quite beautiful for the doomed narrative to be healed through the presence of love, returning back to general theme of s1. +

could’ve been done in a less rushed manner, etc… various other improvements, it makes sense for people to be confused on why Vi and Jinx’s ending went the way it did, not getting the siblings that they wanted— it’s often a problem in shows dealing with morally grey and dysfunctional people +

someone on twitter mentioned that they didn’t like Jinx and Vi being unable to coexist peacefully and was qrted something akin to “well it’s a doomed sister narrative,” but the whole theme of s1 was violence in the absence of compassion / love, and s2 was breaking that cycle. While it +

Their bond is a “do-over” in the most important ways to them.

They give eachother what they needed, or lost. For Isha, Jinx is most likely the closest thing to a parental figure for them, which is why they would call her “mama.” Meanwhile for Jinx, they mend the broken sibling bond that she lost with Vi (at the time.)

I understand why people would think that Isha and Jinx’s relationship is either strictly sibling, or mother/daughter but to me it’s both from their perspectives. +

collecting as many cult of the lamb fans as possible it’s such a fun cozy game I’m obsessed with at the moment.

adding this as an intro I’m autistic, and I enjoy the following:
- bg3, mortal kombat, fnaf, lies of p., sekiro.
- arcane (viktor, jayce, ekko), tua.
- inuyasha, sailor moon, fruits basket.
- the owl house.

also I draw, I will not be consistent.

Anyway that’s just some of my thoughts on this scene and why people interpret it the way they do, or use it as an avenue to dislike Jayce’s character. (adding this here from my twitter acc.)

And to an extent he is, because he has never had to fight off the title or designation of being from the undercity and disabled in Piltover in that way. +

Meanwhile Jayce would happily support him in any way possible, and this action includes that. He takes up this responsibility as an act of love, and trying his best to show his care by being the face of their work. We simply don’t see his perspective of this scene, which makes him look oblivious. +

The embodiment of Piltover’s reaction to Viktor, that the audience sees, would be Mel. The way she outright ignores his existence and only focuses on / addresses Jayce probably confirms this to Viktor that it would be a bad idea for him to be a public representative of Hextech. +

about how he would be perceived by the whole of Piltover swallow him whole. It’s another large facet of his descent into trying to “fix” himself. And it makes perfect sense for him to have these thoughts because a majority of Piltover would doubt him, or belittle, or infantilize him in some way. +

He doesn’t fight it at all, respecting Viktor’s wishes, and the “Man of Progress” cup replace Vik. The key part of this is not the fact that Jayce is doing it, however, it’s the fact that V’s insecurities and self-deprecating nature (which is most likely worsening with his condition) +

I think the reason people tend to misinterpret this scene as Jayce actively disregarding Viktor as his partner, and demeaning their work together is because of the particular way it’s framed. +
