The way Jinx honored Isha

[jjkyaoi]

by the way. people are allowed to complain about this season feeling rushed. i don’t know when it became a thing in this fandom to completely jump people who have valid complaints like YES arcane is a fantastically produced and beautifully animated show and nobody will be able to top it but they did start things with some characters only for it to never go anywhere so it can all be wrapped up in three episodes 😭

WHAT IF JINX GETS HER BULLET TATTOOS FOR ISHA.......like Jinx got her smoke tattoos after she tried to help her family. Isha ran head-on into battle to try and help her family, Jinx. Jinx could get the bullets in memory of Isha's sacrifice. her tattoos might be symbols for a childlike innocence, loyalty, and love

I just finished watching Act 2 of Arcane (I'm in fricking shambles omg--), but I wanted to acknowledge something I'm seeing rn

Jayce DISSAPEARED for a WHOLE YEAR (I think, the implications they gave us feel like a whole year has passed) into THE HEXCORE. The guy CAME BACK with a BAD LEG, HIS HAMMER ALL MESSED UP (even the hexcore energy for it became red!!) and HIS WRIST got FUSED with THE CRYSTAL that HE GOT from THE WIZARD. And he saw WEIRD CREATURES whenever he LOOKED at SOMEONE from VIKTOR'S CULT (yes it was a cult we can't deny that)

THIS GUY IS 100% TRAUMATIZED AND SOMETHING HAPPENED TO HIM WHEREVER THE FRICK HE ENDED UP

We NEED to wait for Act 3 to get an explanation as to what Jayce lived and saw, because if this hadn't happen, Jayce WOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT!!! Or something is controlling Jayce like Viktor said (which yikes the realization Jayce will get of what he has done is gonna hit him so hard), or he's seeing something more than what they're letting us on, something sinister in the Hexcore inside Viktor (but ending up being the reason for the creation of the monster himself)

Whichever the case is, JAYCE ISN'T A BAD PERSON!!!, HE'S A TRAUMATIZED GUY DOING ALL OF THIS FOR A REASON WE STILL YET NEED TO WAIT AND SEE!!

i keep thinking about jinx and isha as batman and robin variants

specifically early days bruce and dick

especially with isha helping jinx’s mental health and i always imagined dick did the same even as he was mourning his parents and he was angry he was still caring and having him around helped bruce a lot similar to how isha helps jinx. Even if neither dick or isha were doing it on purpose.

And with both isha and dick going off getting into dangerous situations because they believe what they are doing is right (figurehead a revolution/ get revenge) and we’re inspired by there respective parent/sibling/friend/mentor.

the thought or little robin!dick going like isha did upsets me deeply tho so i won’t think about it to much

i’m a little tired so idk if this makes sense

[silentsockfeet]

with the obvious addendum that act 3 isn’t out yet and we can’t form true opinions until the show’s officially done, i’m still really feeling like it could have maybe benefited from a third season. they’re hitting all the right plot points and those moments are full of really intense emotion, but everything in the middle feels so underwhelming in comparison and so much of it still feels rushed to me. idk

People aren’t understanding that Ekko talking Jinx out of letting go then her possibly dying at the end isn’t bad writing or useless

Jinx tries to let go because she believes she is the reasons as to why in the people she loves and anyone who gets too close dies. She believes herself to be a jinx

But when she lets go of Vi’s hand, she is protecting someone she loves

She desperately calls out to Vi to move away, to save herself. But Vi becomes caught up in Warwick’s familiarity. He was once her father. Jinx understand it too

So when Jinx jumps to save Vi, she is finally, finally letting go of being a jinx. She saves Vi, her sister. The lost one she loves who has a chance of survival, of being truely loved.

[red-hood-vigilante]

ok now that i've had some time to think on it, i deeply wish circumstances were different and that the studio had the resources to make a third season bc while i do think s2 fucks i also understand when people say it had pacing issues. act 2 and 3 were dense and had so much going on it was hard to understand and keep up, like gun to my head rn i could not tell you what the arcane is or why it's so scary that they are/it is waking up

[pagesofkenna]

thing that makes me feral is its everyone else telling Jinx who she is

her friends end up dead and she's still got their voices in her head telling her who and what she is. Silco spends the rest of his life telling her who she is to him. one city is telling her shes a terrorist and the other that she's a savior. even Isha is the one who 'adopted' Jinx, deciding that they would have a relationship—Jinx just go to decide what that looks like

I don't even have a point to this, just. the relationship with Isha and the touching her shoulders scene could both be seen as moments of growth for Jinx—people rely on her, they trust her, they believe in her, and she seems to believe it for the first time since Vi returned—but they're also just more instances of other people telling her who she should be

[mizs-fandom-lair]

Jinx is such a majestic representation of CPTSD and no one can tell me otherwise

[manishfiend]

honestly I think it's *because* I'm not a jinx fan that I can see rly clearly how they sanded down her character in s2

[strxngertogether]

// FUCK YOU YOU CAN'T JUST PARALLEL JINX'S DEATH WITH ISHA'S LIKE THAT AND NOT EXPECT IT TO DESTROY ME

[mam-te-moc]

And actually they met? At the end of s2ep6?

"The only thing Jinx cared about was getting you to safety. Then she just surrendered. I didn't even have time to think before they hauled her off. She's being held in the bunker while I decide what to do. I was waiting for you to recover."

So since Cait was fully focused on Vi, maybe Jayce was the one who ordered to arrest Jinx?

Fucking dying over this one because they would cross each other's paths, realize who each other were and we'd be treated to a fucking three minute long chase across the city that would just end with Jayce flying at Jinx like-

[sovamurka]

I think that Jinx and Isha's relationship will parallel three separate dynamics:

1) Sibling dynamic - Vi and Jinx. Obvious parallel with Jinx being an older sister this time around. Perhaps it will make Jinx reminisce about her childhood and make her understand how much Vi actually loved her.

2) Parent/child dynamic - Where do I start? Jinx and her mom, Jinx and Vander, Jinx and Silco, Jinx and... Vi (yes, if you didn't notice, Vi was also a motherly figure for Powder after their mother's death). It will possibly make Jinx not just take responsibility but finally realise why parents protect their children at all cost and are ready to give up anything, including their own life.

3) Old/young self dynamic - Jinx and Powder - basically Jinx accepting and loving her younger self through Isha. It is the most important lesson she may learn, actually!

arcane act 3 spoilers

my (depressing) headcannon is that sevika wouldn’t react after finding out about isha and jinx’s death.

she keeps on working through as zaun’s representative on piltover’s council and navigates her days like any other. like nothing’s wrong.

until like a week afterwards where the most minor inconvenience happens at her place— could be she drops her plate of food or there’s a loose screw in her mechanical arm. and it causes her to break down into heavy sobs alone in the middle of her living room.
