God, he really cared for her so much 🥲 (Image 1, 5, 6 and 8 are from a mini game, 'Jinx Fixes Everything' which you can watch here)

Felicia basically placed the responsibility on Vander and Silco to secure the future of her offspring because she shipped them even before they started down the path toward the tragic political homosexual saga they got caught up in. Essentially, she made them godparents, but they still thought they were too heterosexual and didn't understand. The first to realize was Vander after divorcing and then many years later Silco after nearly loosing Jinx. This is totally canon. This is what real happened. The real dramatic climax of their doomed relationship.

strong believer in the hc that vi’s favorite foods consist of sweets like cupcakes, and hot, home-cooked meals like her mom’s nostalgic cooking.

The issue with the Vander, Silco and Felicia Scene

I want to explore more about how making Vander and Silco know Felicia before Vi and Jinx were born recontextualizes things. I have a lot of mixed feelings about this revelation, because on the one hand, it definitely makes everything about Vander’s relationship with Vi and Jinx hit harder. On the other hand, it makes both Vander and Silco more one-dimensional, plus it creates more ambiguity for the audience.

Let’s break it down. Before we even knew about this, we viewed Vander as a man who just adopted two kids from the street. This made him have a lot of nuance because this represented him putting the people of Zaun first before his animosity against topside. It showed his true leadership and explains why Zaun was so loyal to him.

Then they introduce his relationship with Felicia. This definitely creates a lot of emotional impact (I cried when I found that he was the one who named Vi and the way he was soft with Felicia melted my heart and is on my mind rent-free). But I feel like this emotional grab was a short-term benefit for the show compared to the long-term legacy Vander could have had. Now, we are conflicted if we should see Vander as someone who had a sense of loyalty to his friend or to Zaun. That’s not to say he couldn’t do both. In fact, it is both. After all, Felicia is also a Zaunite. But making them strangers (or acquaintances at least), I believe, would have created such a unique character.

Then we have Silco. Before this relationship was revealed, we saw Silco as another ambitious leader of Zaun who took a random child under his wing. He, who once was unable to empathize with Vander, eventually understood where Vander was coming from. It made him such a compelling villain because despite having this lawful evil alignment, he was portrayed as someone with humanity, empathy and humility that most people have. Now that we know he was acquainted with Felicia (I’ll explain why I don’t think they were friends later), it makes all of us wonder, did he know Vi and Powder beforehand? It makes us question his integrity and makes the speech at Vander’s statue a bit confusing, because you’d think he would understand to a small extent why Vander did the things he did. After all, they knew these kids.

However although it made things confusing, I disagree with the take that this creates a plothole for Silco’s character. Firstly, I think the writers were implying that they were not as close to Felicia as Vander was. Silco was not in Warwick’s flashbacks of the family together, and he was also not really involved in the conversation with Vander and Felicia. When they cheers, Silco doesn’t congratulate Felicia but instead says “To Zaun then”. So although the writers did what they could, the execution made things confusing.

It’s not a plothole but it does change how we see the two in a way, and whether it’s better or worse, I’m not too sure. I think a way to have improved it was if we had a scene with more people instead of just the three of them. Have Felicia talk with Connell, the actual dad (where the heck is he?? LMAO). Bring back Benzo! Make The Last Drop / Bedrock and Blisters filled with Zaunites to show Vander valuing his community. If Vander knew Felicia in this context, it would be more consistent to his leadership, because then it shows that Vander was close to her as a people. Having this small change in setting would have solved the consistency without changing the writing. It would also reinforce that Silco sees Felicia as an acquaintance more clearly.

Overall, I think this scene is one of the weakest parts of the show writing wise. And that’s already saying a lot about how good the writing is, since this scene pulls on your heart strings.

Fel-ISHA

I might be reaching here but if Jinx did name Isha did she name her after her mom???

Felicia's purple leading to Vi's pink and Jinx's blue is so on the nose but I love it anyway

Wait a sec

If Felicia died on the bridge (s1 e1) and Vander was already all bearded out, and we assume that the writers have watched their own show and known that the Vander/Silco murderbath happened before then…

What if the “she” mentioned in Vander’s letter wasn’t Felicia?

It implies it, sure, but really it could be anyone. Vander’s girlfriend. Some other kid he was kinda raising. A pet rabbit he was really attached to.

That would be a pretty simple fix for the timeline issues, and be why Silco never saw Vi/Powder in the them-growing-up-with-Felicia flashback
