(Sorry, turned off notifications for this post and was just reading now, I know it is much later). I'll be honest: the reaction of Vander and Benzo to Silco looming out of the alley is not "there is our friend to whom we owe an apology", it is "there is the monster Vander created, who has been doing awful things ever since". And he has! He let Singed experiment on Deckard, maybe in a technically consensual way, but not without pressure. He told Marcus about Vander's kids. Vander and Benzo don't know the specifics, but I very much think "worse things than Enforcers" refers to Silco, and it's not even wrong.

I did write an entire series based on "Vander rolls the dice on trusting Silco again when he re-emerges from hiding, and it works out surprisingly well" (Stillwater Marriage) but at the time I thought the premise somewhat crack-y. I also maintain that the very last moment for reconciliation was before Silco had Benzo killed. So yeah, I also think Vander would feel fear, rather than relief. And that fear would have been justified; by the end of the cannery scene, Silco is triggered nearly out of his mind and, whatever his original plans were, he ordered the kids killed. Only the very particular combination of small, unthreatening child saying things that reminded him of himself and throwing herself at him managed to divert him. I think if Vi had been there instead, he would have done his best to kill her (and tbf she would also have done her best to kill him).

If Vander had survived long enough to hear the "we'll show them all", he might have had a little hope for Powder. But given what Silco's brief mentorship meant for Deckard... I think he would still have been extremely concerned, as is the viewer until Jinx surfaces in act 2 and we become concerned for slightly different reasons.

One of Vander's last actual memories of Silco is this:

but the (first!) image that surfaces when Viktor looks into his mind is this:

...I have to forgive everything I didn't initially like about Arcane season 2. I got what I have been writing fanfic of for years, really.

Part of my modern AU

Sugar is not a condiment

These are the moments Vander remembers that Silco is the guy who, when they were younger, he had to stitch up in his bathroom because he showed up with a ✨ fun little stab wound✨

Parenting is not easy. 😩

Aw he loved art? 🥺🥺🥺

Hello anon! Yes!! Silco loved art and he loved collecting art 🥹 sorry, I meant to post this here as well as Twitter. But here is the update:

But this also plays into Silco fostering Jinx’s creativity and artistic expression enough to let her doodle all over his office. His taste for the finer things wasn’t just a Piltovian facade.

This also confirms that it was Vander’s old office and not part of the extension that Silco built onto The Last Drop.

He did give me the contact for who completed this design of Silco’s office to reach out for questions on particular details that they added. So if you have questions you’d like to know, lmk. I wanted to confirm if they were his own paintings or just a collection. Also, here the hell does he sleep?

-Vander, stop..

-..Nope.

had wayy too much fun with these

[dubiousdisco]

he gains power every time vander dies?? oh the divorce was nasty

[yrrtyrrtwhenihrrthrrt]

I've said it before that I don't think Silco finding the letter led to the reconciliation in the AU, that it was more likely Vander turning on Piltover because his daughter died. But further to that, I don't think Silco even found the letter at all until much later, after they'd reconciled.

Anyway imagine how emotionally devastating that would be. You're finally healing and happy with your man and then you go back to your old spot for old time's sake and find this letter and learn that not only was he sorry this whole time, but it's the most horrific apology you've ever seen, and even though you know it's not fair, it undermines the more sincere efforts he'd been taking as an adult with you.

Plus Vander, finding out that Silco never found the letter and assuming he did, and absolutely reeling over it because you thought he knew you were sorry this whole time and he didn't and he still forgave you

Anyway adding that to my ridiculous amount of Zaundads WIPs

@gladia-delmarre wrote this wonderful fic and I LOVED drawing a scene inspired by it, it's beautiful, sweet and full of feelings and these two kids are adorable, I want to put them together in a box and shake it 🥹

atqi wrote a fic inspired by this ! Go check it out! Big Spender by atqi

Hes the biggest loser I know.

I think its genuinely crazy how much time passed inbetween Vander dying and Warwick being created, like... How long were they keeping his corpse in the basement???

turning him into Warwick cant have been their original plan since Singed only starts working on him after Silcos death, did Silco just want to keep his exes mangled dead body for sentimental value? genuinely insane, he has to be the most divorced man in history
