#Silco apologist

[rambyol]

Silco ‘I can excuse profiting off exploitation of Zauns most vulnerable but I draw the line at misogyny’.

[snortslaxatives]

Blaming Silco for Felicia’s death imo is more of an underline as to why Vander was a very flawed character/revolutionary leader and not why Silco was inherently evil. Everyone showed up to fight, where it seems like Vander was the sole survivor and everyone else was shot/ran. That is the reality of resistance, you don’t know going in when the switch is going to flip and when shots get fired. Silco didn’t shoot Felicia and Connol. Enforcers did. Vi and Vander both say verbatim that they were killed by enforcers, I know that one scene implies Silco feels guilty and Vander blamed him for escalating by tossing a Molotov cocktail, but I need you all to be so for real with yourselves about how shooting a bridge full of protestors is also an extreme retaliation and sit with why blaming Silco or Vander, and them blaming eachother/themselves, is wrong. Why feeling guilty and personal responsibility for a violent system comfortable with executing civilians in the street cant really rest on either of their shoulders. And that blaming Slco for their deaths is very centrist lib of you and I won’t stand for it.

there’s been a rise of “was silco a bad dad” discourse on tiktok and i’ve seen too much of it against my will but by far the craziest thing i saw was someone saying one of silcos faults with jinx was “pumping her full of shimmer” op purposely left out the context of why he did that and when someone in the comments was like hey she was literally dying! op said silco should’ve… just let her die. there’s so much to unpack here

the wording “pumping her full of shimmer” is purposefully done to frame his action as worse. we see how silco treats people with shimmer. he dangles it in front of them, taunting them, before throwing it to them like he’s giving a dog a treat. he can watch the effects the drug has on them like it’s nothing. with jinx he carried her in his arms, gave her a lil kiss on the forehead, and had to be knocked out before her procedure began because he wouldn’t have been able to handle seeing jinx go through it. he wasn’t feeding jinx shimmer her whole life, it was a desperate last resort he went to in order to save her life.

saying he should’ve just let her die is. fucking WILD. if he let her die they’d hate him for that too! if you hate this character just hate them as is! you don’t need to make his misdeeds even more awful he’s done enough for you to reasonably dislike him. whether you like it or not, silco was her father. jinx was his daughter. whatever view you have on silco, those two facts will always be true. of course he’d do literally anything to keep her alive. if vander did this, would you have the same reaction? would you say vander should’ve just let his daughter die? or would you call it sweet and say he was so caring and such a good father for saving his child’s life?

again you can hate silco but hate with reason. he’s a complex character in the terms that he is a complicated man in the universe. he’s not complex in the way that it’s hard to understand his actions. it’s actually really easy to figure out his motives, especially for something so clear as his daughters life literally being on the line. people are purposefully being ignorant of his nuances to feel justified in disliking him and im so fucking tired!!!!

[kilucore]

something about jayce not being able to accept the change in viktor and the cost of keeping him alive vs silco who would do anything to keep jinx alive and accepted everything about her but one of these was inherently wrong and it wasnt jayce

[reithwinwanderer]

These five seconds single-handedly saved my life.

[ssaltlicker]

People not understanding that silco is arguably as oppressive to the people of zaun as piltover

[hauntingblue]

Jayce telling vi she won't make it on her own.... okay mr. projector...

[rinayeas]

Finally watched arcane crazy good show fuck that little ginger cop bitch

[marysunburn]

I made a thing up in my head.

[nonbeanieboi]

A little Jinx chaos because I couldn’t get this out of my head

[rambyol]

No because I too would stab the mf that made me go from looking like

THIS!

TO THIS..?!

[handsomesilco]

The thing is, I'm not a villain apologist. They've committed the most unthinkable atrocities and can't be excused but I'm their defense lawyer and I'm standing by them til the end.

[linipikk]

what a time to be a Silco apologist

not only did he gave us the ultimate banger

He had the vibe in every timeline

[lemoneyshipz]

arcane creators gave silco the slick back bc they know he would have been too powerful with the long haired man bun + scarface + twilf combo, there will be no one left to hold him accountable, only silco apologists

edit: now with art here yall

[archangeldyke-all]

Omg fucking stupid thing I thought of but like Sevika with a reader who is literally her number one apologist

Oh she got into deep shit? “I saw nothing actually” <— (quite literally was there)

Oh she murdered a man? “I mean.. did we ever take time to consider why she killed them? I mean, they could have looked at her wrong! I mean, I would if I were her too—“

Oh Sevika was being an asshole? “So? And I was backing her up 😇🫶🏼”

this is so me, she'd chop finn's head clean off in front of me and i'd be like 'babe ur so silly! omg u have blood on ur arm!! lemme clean it for u...'

men and minors dni

sevika knows you're loyal to her.

in the five years you've been together, sevika's never once worried about your eyes wandering or you sneaking around on her.

but it's more than that.

you ride or die for sevika.

she realizes this the first time she's home to watch you talk to an enforcer.

sevika and silco's deal with marcus means they get away with most their dealings in the undercity-- but from time to time, to avoid questions, marcus will have to send a rookie down to the undercity to 'investigate.'

usually, the kid will snoop around for half a day, before high-tailing it right back up to piltover.

sometimes-- they actually try to investigate some of the evidence.

and, once or twice a year, one of the rookies will even have big enough balls to try to question sevika herself.

she's on the couch reading when someone knocks on your door. she's on high alert as she watches you open the door, her hackles rising when she sees the uniform standing on your front stoop.

"sorry to bother you so late at night, miss, is this the residence of a 'sevika'?" the enforcer asks.

sevika huffs, rolling her eyes and biting back her annoyed groan. she's in no fucking mood to deal with this. she's about to haul herself off the couch and take over for you, when you speak again.

"who?" you ask.

sevika blinks-- unsure if she heard you correctly.

"s-sevika?" the man tries again.

"sevika? i've never heard of a 'sevika' living in this neighborhood..." you say. sevika realizes what you're up to, and a smile breaks across her face. "do you mean savannah? there's a savannah a few blocks south, she owns a barbershop off third..." you suggest.

the rookie studies you for a second, and you just blink up at him innocently.

sevika has to smack a hand over her mouth when the idiot buys your act, sighing and slumping before turning around to leave your front stoop. "thank you for your time ma'am. sorry again for bothering you so late."

"put your gas mask on, young man, you'll hurt your lungs down here!" you call after him, waving sweetly as you watch him wander down the street.

you grunt and roll your eyes, your sweet smile dropping the moment he turns the corner, before you turn around and walk back inside your home, slamming and locking the door behind you.

sevika tackles you to the ground, kissing you fiercely. you burst into giggles. "what's this for?" you ask.

sevika can't stop laughing against your lips. "you're so amazing." she giggles. you just huff and roll your eyes.

"thought i'd turn you in?" you ask. sevika shakes her head.

"no-- didn't think you'd lie to a cop for me though."

you blink up at her, suddenly serious, and sevika's heart swells. "sevika. i'd do anything for you."

sevika has to hide her flustered face against your shoulder at this.

over the years, she realizes how much you meant the words.

you come home one night and find her panicking, a dead body in your living room blood soaked into her skin and clothes. you just blink, take a deep breath, and snap into action.

sevika watches in a daze as you gently guide her to sit on the couch, kissing her and calming her down as you strip her of her bloody clothes and toss them ontop of the dead man in the middle of your home.

you don't even ask her questions. you just gently guide her to the bathroom, and treat her like she's just got a cold, or something.

"you're so pretty." you whisper as you wash her clean.

you dress her in her jammies and put her to bed.

sevika stays awake, listening to you call ran and silco over, and then listening to the three of you clean up the mess for the rest of the night.

when you crawl into bed beside her at the end of the night, smelling vaguely of fire and gasoline and bleach-- sevika turns onto her side and grabs your hand.

"you okay, my love?" you whisper.

"will you marry me?" sevika asks.

you burst into giggles and agree, kissing sevika sweetly before dragging her onto your chest and scratching her scalp as she falls asleep.

it's not even the serious shit that you back her up on either. it's the dumb, petty shit too.

you can be sitting on her lap during a game of cards; muffling your giggles against her shoulder when sevika cheats by hiding a few of her cards one second, and the next you're swearing on your grandmother's life that sevika's never cheated during a game when one of her opponent's accuses her of hiding cards.

you hear her voice rise a bit when she gets in an argument with a goon, and you're by her side at lightspeed, glaring at whoever dared to question her authority, cracking your knuckles to back up her threats. when the goon stumbles away, nearly crying in fear, sevika turns to you with a guilty look.

"what?" you ask.

"i realized halfway through that i was yelling at the wrong kid... they all wear the same grungy eyeliner-- i can't tell these fuckers apart." she admits.

you burst into giggles and pull her in for a hug, and sevika finds out years later that you ended up tracking down the kid you'd both threatened and buying him dinner to apologize.

And if I said Jinx stans tend to be Silco apologists because they too want to be chosen no matter how fucked up they are or what they've done, no matter what that person who's choosing you has done against you and no matter how toxic your relationship is?
