#⌱ WERE YOU TEMPTED? | SILCO (headcanons)

[zaunrising]

A short writing concerning Silco of “zaunrising” fame, and his life post Arcane.

Nearly having died at the infamous Table due to his adopted daughter reacting out of reflex and shooting him, Silco spent a relatively short time recovering. His deputy, Sevika, took on a larger share of his duties while he was healing and kept him informed of what was happening in Zaun. Rumors spread about Silco’s absence, ranging from the possibility that the aging Chem-Baron was dead, to him having left Zaun to go on vacation, to him retiring, to him being too busy working to meet with anyone, to who knows what else. One thing was for sure: Sevika was keeping The Lanes in check, and the Shimmer selling. Another thing was that the other Chem-Barons were looking entirely too closely as they tried to decide if Silco had slipped up enough to finally give them an opportunity they could take advantage of.

Upon recovering, Silco immediately returned to work, ensuring that all knew he was in fact still alive and still every bit the Chem-Baron who held The Lanes. He also looked for Jinx, wanting to bring his daughter home. His attempt to reach out to Jinx would, for the time being, be futile, as it turned out Jinx fully believed he was dead and that his presence was simply a very strangely real-seeming hallucination. Making a private oath that he would return at a later date to try to convince Jinx of the truth once more, Silco had returned to his work, expecting to see Jinx once more before too much time passed. That expectation would be shattered.

Before he could reach out to Jinx again, a plague found its way to Zaun sweeping through its streets. The time during that plague was both a peaceful time for Silco as the habitual violence of his life faded while disease ran rampant, and a period filled with more death than he’d ever seen before at one time. It was a time that saw him gradually weakened as he devoted resources to aiding Zaun while other Chem-Barons hoarded their money and power. He was weakened, but for as much as he lost, Silco also gained as a particular woman walked into his life during that time. Irisa Avéne (an OC owned by the mun behind @saviourofzaun ).

A strong mage who proved her value by saving a child’s life the first time Silco met her, Irisa would gradually become one of the very few people Silco trusted or cared about. At first simply a valued employee who he put in charge of a medical clinic, Irisa became far more over time, and in fact eventually moved into Silco’s home and bedroom. Alas, the road that led to the two living together had not been in any way easy for the woman; that, however, is a story for another day.

The plague has since faded, and now a new phase in Silco’s life begins. A phase in which he can feel countless eyes upon him and must prepare to fend off attempts from Chem-Barons and gangers to take what is his. A time in which he must find a way both to keep Irisa by his side and also to once more find Jinx, and this time succeed in bringing his daughter home. His eyes opening to the truth that few any more care about The Cause, and that Zaun has well and truly become an enterprise. Silco is tired, of course, and feels as though his work is never ending, even as he starts to wonder if there is any point to the work. At the same time, Silco is finding himself oddly invigorated as he realizes Zaun is returning to normal and that he will be challenged once more. Challenges, after all, give him an opportunity for reprisal and to take more than he ever has before. Attacks on him and upon what is his create openings for him to take advantage of, so long as he doesn’t lose. Loosing, incidentally, is a concept Silco refuses to even consider for one simple reason. If he lost, he’d end up dead, and that was something he simply would not allow to happen. He had a daughter to care for, after all, and Irisa in his life now as well, and regardless of how others felt, The Cause still moved forward. A Free Nation of Zaun still a dream burning within Silco, and even with his doubts and realizations rising up within him, Silco could not imagine that dream fading.

One way or another, Silco will continue moving forward.

A few random notes about Silco.

He no longer covers his scar with makeup.

He now carries a pistol with him.

He is currently learning Ionian.

Even if he doesn’t verbally admit it, he is in a relationship with Irisa Avéne and woe betide any who disrespects or hurts her. The two have been seen together, With Irisa visiting The Last Drop as well as going home to the same house as Silco it is not hard for someone to figure out that something is going on between the two.

Silco has forgiven Jinx and wants her to return home, while understanding that he is alive more than anything else. He does, however, now have a panic response to hearing her minigun, Pow-pow, going off unexpectedly, which causes him to freeze up.

hiii i love ur writing and i was wondering if i could get some silco headcanons with gn reader who bruises easily? <3

Yeee

Reader Brusises Easy and Silco almost kills someone by accidnt headcannons

Reader: Gender Neutral

Note: sorry its short

Arcane Masterlist

Excuse me what-

He-

WHATS UP WITH THE HUGE BRUISE GOING UP YOUR FACE

"Where did you get that?" "Get what baby?"

Get what? What did you think? He was stupid

He pointed to his face as you touched your cheekbone

"Oh, that!"

How do you casually just say "oh that!"

"Yeah, I ran into a wall."

Big ass wall damn-

He doesn't believe it till you say you have vitamin deficiency from working in factories and stuff. Explaining as soon as you got the needed vitamins your body just absorbed them too quickly to retain and stay in your body

Doesn't believe you till he sees it in action, you ran into his desk by accident and saw the bruise while you two were getting ready for bed

For this reason, if he ever does grab you he makes sure he grabs you softly

Yes, sorry bros no super rough smex from him A shame I know,

Jinx likes to make them into cute pictures

Especially the ones on ur fave making them into cute butterflies and stuff

Silco finds it odd, that you don't try and cover anything up like he does with his scars

Feels bad sometimes, because he doesn't know if he hurt you or you just ran into something

Got too rough one time you know *cough* in the act *cough* with a hand on your throat and hip.

You wore turtle necks for the rest of the week

He doesn't apologize, but for you? He might just confess all his sins

Often if you are with the group you usually go on runs with and he sees that you come back bruised and sees their places like your shoulders and back, places where they pat you a job well done. He's tempted to ask Sevikia to kill them

A mother's feelings.

Redoing a drabble I did a while ago in response to: A Mother's Day ask, wondering how raising two children was for Silco’s mother.

“Well now I don’t hardly see how that’s any of your business really. My life is my own, and I loved my children. Both of em, and that’s that.” She was sitting on the front porch of what could best be described as a shack, in a chair sewing up a rip in a pair of pants. Her husband sitting near her took a swig of the cheapest ale he could find before reaching out to pat her leg. “Should say bit more. How often you get the chance to talk bout them? Go on.” Reaching down he grabbed his pickaxe, and tugging it up, started to scrub it down and sharpen the point.

Side eyeing her husband for a second, you could almost see Silco’s own narrowed eyes, and tightening lips for a second before she sighed softly. Reaching out, she rested a hand on his shoulder for a second, and then put her mending down onto her lap. “…It was difficult. The illness and then our money problems and the like.” She didn’t mention that her husband had been almost constantly working, and absent. They both knew that, and they both knew it’d been needed. “I’ve always been a bit ashamed I didn’t take more of a personal hand, and that so much got dropped onto Sil’s shoulders. With two kids both growing, and one of them ill, though, you need as much money as possible. I had to take on mending jobs, and do what I could to help. It’s just how things are, though. They both deserved more time from me, from us.” Taking a breath, she closed her eyes before nodding.

“But by stone and darkness, I will always be so proud of Silco for what he did. He became a man sooner than he should have, but if it wasn’t for him, I don’t know what his brother would have done. Probably just sat around the house suffering. Silco made sure his brother had something close to a normal childhood, even if it meant Silco gave up his own, and that’s what it means to be family sometimes. Family, and Loyal. You have to be Loyal to your own and take care of them, even if it means you end up suffering a bit yourself. Just how life is. Silco did what he had to, and…” Suddenly, her voice was stopped as her husband spoke up. “The question about you. How you experienced things. Course, I’m proud of Silco too.”

A soft sigh came from her as she shook her head, and reached to grab some tobacco and rolling papers. With an experience born of long years, although she had stopped smoking during her pregnancies, the woman quickly rolled herself a cigarette and lit it, taking the nicotine deep into her lungs. “Fine. Truth. Those two boys aged me. The things I did for my youngest to make sure he had the books he needed so that one day he might have a future. The guilt over my oldest. Regret that we couldn’t have given them more. They deserved more. All of Zaun deserves more than what we get.” Although there wasn’t the particular fanaticism and icy rage that Silco’s voice might have held, it was still a surprisingly familiar refrain. “That said. There’s something I should be very clear about.” For the first time a smile came to her, equal parts sad, and warm with love.

“I would never have traded being their mother for anything, and I always done my best to make sure they both knew I loved them. Before and after my youngest went on, and even with Silco’s temper. That nearly got him in trouble a few times.” A soft cough that over the past couple of years had slowly been getting worse came from her before she took another drag off of her cigarette. Her husband’s eyes went to her for a second, looking resigned, and a touch sad, before he simply returned to his work. Flicking ash down onto the ground, she shrugged. “Being a mother. Let me tell you, hun, it’s at once both the worst thing in the world that will ever happen to you and also the very best thing in the world that will ever happen to you. If I could do it all over again, I would. Even if it all turned out exactly the same, I’d still do it again.” Closing her eyes, she went silent for a moment before softly speaking. “I love those boys, both of them, with all that I am, and I always will. No matter how long one of them is gone, and no matter what Silco does. He could kill a hundred people, and I’d still love him.” The man next to her muttered. “Makes you think he hasn’t? Boy’s got a temper. Even if haven’t seen him use it on someone, know he quick with a knife.” Eyes narrowing, she looked to him. “You hush now! Silco don’t do nothing he don’t have to, and you know that well as I do. Maybe he’s dealt with a couple people here, and there, but in this world you do what you have to. Are your hands clean?…Hrmph. He’s our son. Family.” There was a soft chuckle from her husband as he glanced over with an odd smile. “I know. He is, an that’s important. Like you say. Family. Loyalty. Sides, might let you do the talking, but I done my part. You know what I’m meaning.” There was a long, slow second of silence before she reached out to squeeze gently at his hand, and nodded. “I know. I know you have.”

Putting her cigarette out, she sniffed and tucked the last half of it behind an ear before picking her mending back up. “Any hows, said my piece. Now you all stop bothering this old woman. I’ve got my mending to do.”

A   :   AFFECTION.   how does your muse show affection? For Silco?

Ohhh, that's a nice question. Firstly, don't expect him to express it verbally. For all that he is good at speaking, that doesn't really extend to showing affection in any kind of effective way. The two biggest things for him honestly is... A: Spending time with someone. I know that's a cheap, easy answer, but the reality is that his time is important to him. He's a workaholic and the Free Nation of Zaun will always be one of his top three priorities, with Jinx being another of those top three. There's only so much time in the day, and so if he grants someone else his personal time on a regular basis, that says a lot. He's not going to do that just for the heck of it, or to play with someone, or whatever else. To be very blunt, he's not going to spend large amounts of time with someone just to get laid, and he also doesn't need to. If he regularly spends time with you, and it's not business related, that says a lot. So yes, quality time is a thing with this man because of how valuable time is to him. B: Gifts. He will buy you things, of course. He will also knit things for you: remember what your favorite dishes are from different restaurants, keep in mind that offhand comment you made months ago about wanting X-thing so he can buy it for you, and just in general randomly spoil you with things. Silco will remember what style of jewelry you like, and how you like to dress, and little things you enjoy such as candles or whatever else as well. He might be bad at saying he cares, but he will show it.

[zaunrising]

What’s a hobby they used to have that they miss?

and

What do they commonly misinterpret because of their own upbringing / environment / biases? How do they respond when realizing the misunderstanding?

Let’s start with Silco. It was both a hobby, and also an important necessity so people wouldn’t get lost, but map making. I think I touched on that on my old blog, but not that this one. Regardless, Silco used to do map making, particularly of tunnels and hidden routes throughout Zaun. He even still has some of his old maps, and misses making them but he just doesn’t have the time anymore.

Do I think how I’m about to answer is exactly what you meant by the question about misinterpreting things? No. Am I going to use this answer anyways because I find it amusing? Yes. So there’s a thing about water. You take Silco out of Zaun, be it to Ionia, or wherever else and just drink water fresh from a river or something in front of him and he will look at you like you are crazy. You invite him to drink that fresh water himself, and he’s going to fully believe you are trying to play some weird joke on him. Everyone knows you can’t just drink water without filtering it first at the very least. That’s how you get sick. When he realizes that yes you can drink that water his reaction is a mix of amazed delight, and resentment fueled anger. Amazed delight because it’s nice not having to worry nearly as much about the environment itself trying to kill him. Resentment fueled anger because it brings into view even more just how badly Piltover harmed Zaun.

For Jinx, I’m not sure if this counts as a hobby, but how about fixing up (and playing at) the arcade. Putting back together the shooting game, and messing with the animatronics there, and getting to go there with other people, and all. I don’t think she does that anymore because it reminds her of the past, and it either makes her sad or angry.

Something she misinterprets… a lot of stuff to be honest. Jinx does not have the most normal view on things in general. I’ve got a couple things in mind be it someone trying to flirt with her, or criticism, or fear, but let’s go with something easy yet important. How common, and acceptable violence is. Even in Zaun she’s a bit of an outlier when it comes to how quick, and easy violence is for her, let alone anywhere else. If Silco sends Jinx your life is over. You can negotiate with Sevika, you might be able to make a deal with Silco, but Jinx? Jinx is simply going to kill you. Might be slow, might be fast, but when she’s sent it is to permanently deal with a situation. Over the years she has become more, and more comfortable with violence as a first and last resort. It even happens with Silco, when she gets upset and uses his injector to hurt him. As for her response if someone tries to get her to understand things? Disbelief and derision at best, anger at worse. Even if it’s from Silco, Jinx still won’t get it.

Last, but not least, Sevika. A hobby she misses, pit fighting. Yes it was to make money, and yes it was a competition, but she still considered it a fun hobby. Sevika had other ways to make money be it smuggling, or whatever else. The pit fighting was more a way to burn off steam, and the money as well as attention it got her was a useful byproduct. Sometimes she contemplates going back for a couple fights, and then her attention gets pulled to something else be it work related or other wise.

Misinterpretations, someone bumping into her on the street. She’s not going to take it as an accident, and will assume it was either disrespect, an attempt to pickpocket her, or a potential attack. Sevika does absolutely 100% expect people to move out of her way, and if they don’t she will make them move. What’s that? A misunderstanding? They were just distracted or something? Not her problem, do better.

[zaunrising]

What’s your muse’s favourite comfort food? (For anyone you want to answer for :3)

Ohhhh, that’s kind of difficult. Let’s see…

For Jinx, it’d be something fried and crispy and easy to eat. Think fried frog legs, chicken tenders, chicken katsu, stuff like that. She does absolutely love chicken katsu sandwich’s.

Silco, however, I’m going to say his is gumbo served with rice. The spicier, the better. If it can’t make a Piltie cry, than it’s not spicy enough.

Sevika, hmmm… I’m honestly not sure. For some reason I kind of want to say a bacon cheddar cornbread Filling, and easy to grab and run around with.

[zaunrising]

What’s the lie your character says most often? For Silco?

Silco doesn't truly lie very often. That doesn't mean he always tells the whole truth, or is correct in what he says, or that he hasn't massaged the truth to pull it over to the side to make it mean something different. There's a lot of different ways to manipulate words, and Silco is very good at that. However, he doesn't actually lie to someone's face very often, unless he's planning on killing them or otherwise hurting them. Even when he says something like “deals changed” he doesn't see that has having lied, Silco see's that as a change in circumstances. So with all that in mind…

His most often said lie is one variant or another of “I'm fine”. Regardless of it's to Jinx, Sevika, or someone else entirely that he's close to. Silco hates admitting that he's feeling down, or bad, or sick, or tired, or anything else. He will if it's bad enough, and it's with the right person. However, his immediate impulse is to just go "I'm fine" and to leave it at that. Silco's attitude is a simple one, he's the eye of Zaun, he's the Industrialist Silco, he doesn't have time or the privilege to not be fine. He has to keep going no matter what.

Side note: If he does admit he's tired, it's more oft than not in order to get someone else (that he cares about) to also rest. Silco will almost never admit something like that purely, and utterly just for himself.
