#always missing unhinged sevika

[imsofreakingtired]

[Getting attacked by street thugs in Zaun]

You: Don't kill me, I have a wife!

Thug: You think I care about that?

You: Oh no that wasn't a plea for mercy. That was a warning.

Thug: What?

Sevika, crashing through the wall with her Shimmer-powered machete arm: YOU READY TO DIE ASSHOLE?

[thanks-for-the-crabapples]

Initial thoughts while watching arcane s2 act 1, spoilers below

Ep 1:

Literally in disbelief that Mel ended up alive, surely thought they were going to kill her and thus spark off Ambessa's arc

Absolutely unhinged that Viktor's last wish was for Jayce to destroy the hexcore and he uses it to save his life. There will surely be no repercussions from this action

Caitlyn and Vi hugging stfuuuuuuu

I really wish we had gotten to see Caitlyn defending Vi to the Enforcers instead of just hearing about it. I think that would've been really helpful for Cait's arc as well as made their future rift more impactful :/

That chem baron attack had me on the edge of my seat !! If they actually killed Mel in that moment I would've been so mad that I wondered about her for three years then found out she was alive then saw her die.... not yet at least :|

Okay but was the chem baron lady always that fit? Like,,,,hello

Cait and Vi fighting together is *chef's kiss*

Made a joke that Ambessa was late to the party cause she was watching her own music video to hype herself up. If only :(

Caitlyn storming in and claiming herself as a decorated officer and leader of House Kiramman to get her way holyyyyyy shit girl get it

Ep 2

These little differently animated opens are so slay

Very fun to see behind the curtain of this power grab. Love Sevika saying they don't give up their own people. She has changed somehow??

Super fun watching Sevika and Jinx reminisce about being Silco's henchwomen. They say behind every strong man, lol

Viktor waking up?!?!? Hehe he's nakey. They made Jayce give him a blanket so we wouldn't know about his arcane pee pee, sad

Affection that held us together??? Yaoi

They just love throwing more and more irreparable moments at Vi and Jinx's relationship huh? Talking about the arcade and how sad Jinx was to see Vi as an Enforcer using the gas :((((

Caitlyn's rage??? Okay girl go off. Let us see your rage. I support women's wrongs

Jinx's line about taking out the only family she has left kill me

Viktor as Jesus is not what I was expecting but I'm here for it

Ep 3:

So fascinated by the Kiramman lore and The Gray

Also, just have to say that the intro is so good and I never would have expected comfortable clothes for everyone but it's giving. Whoever put Cait in a black turtle neck thank youuuu

*kinda blacked out and missed stuff in this episode cause* CAITVI KISS LETS GO HAJAFHSJSKFK

Scientist team up is delightful

Definitely thought the temple fight was gonna be ep 9, very interesting fight and dynamic, it makes me very sad :(

"You're not my sister" ahhhhhhhh

I've taken ventilation classes before and idk how Jinx made the air do that lol

Cait and Vi break up scene, hundreds dead thousands injured. It's me, I'm dead

I'm so ready to witness all of Caitlyn's wrongs

Def blacked out most of ep 3 and missed quite a bit of note taking cause so much was happening. Can't wait to go back and process it all again. Until then I'm going to keep wallowing

[hotxcheeto]

Helloooo! Can I get a headcanon with the Zaun women with a gn!s/o who's a bounty hunter? Thank you! Remember to drink water 😁 👉🏼👉🏼🌊💧

You both were close before her Stillwater time

Getting out, it was a surprise when she found out you were capturing and taking out people all over the city

Bad people mostly, or randoms that she didn't know

But she recognized the names and when she sees you again, she nearly locked herself back up

Thinks you're the hottest thing to every exist

Will help you when it comes to certain jobs but you've both got shit to uphold and she knows it

But that doesn't mean seeing you walk around with your weapons and tight outfits doesn't get her all hot and bothered

Finds you jobs, with her strange connections all over the place

Someone needs another one in custody?

Vi makes sure your name is brought up first

She is the one that taught you a lot about the skills you use now

Feels proud seeing you able to defend yourself with what she made sure to teach you before it was too late

Comes with you time and time again

Or will follow you, watching from somewhere above

You call her your guardian angel

Because she's always making sure you're safe despite the name you've made for yourself

She still worries

Especially when you're gone for a few days hunting someone

Nerve wracking for the poor girl

But she'll always clean you up after a day gone bad, because you do the same for her

☼ 𝐉𝐢𝐧𝐱

You guys were friends for years

She knew what you did and cheered you on

Thinks you're literally so cool

Will talk about you to anyone that will listen because her partner is the coolest

And yes she scares the hell out of a lot of people

Poor Chuck

But she'll come with you a lot, mostly because she hates when you leave her on her own

Drives her crazy... literally

She lets you do most of the work until you 'specially' assign her a job to do, then Jinx gets all giddy

Likes to taunt whoever you've got in cuffs or tied up

The Harley Quinn to your Batman if you will

I use Batman loosely and with no pronouns

Jinx is unhinged and you have a bit more screws tight in your head while hers jump around, makes for a good team

Decorates your outfits and weapons especially when you're on a few day long hunt for someone

Gets bored easily, so she'll start talking to you while staking someone out

On and on while you're going back in forth between listening to her and watching your target

Times when she doesn't go with you are very hard for her

Cannot sleep without you

Literally impossible for the poor baby

Talks to her stuffed animals like they're you and makes them make shooting noises and fight other stuffed animals

You have a special one that reminds her of you cause it has a little knife and is wearing all black

She made it herself when she missed you

☼ 𝐒𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐤𝐚

You guys knew of each other and when Silco wanted you for a certain job you were there

Ready to track down whoever he needed because Sevika was too busy with many other things

You ran into each other and you couldn't help but to notice the big scary lady looking at you a little too often

Lets cut to the chase you both are badass and people are terrified of the both of you

Let's just say you both got a rep and a name

Often helps you out when she can

You guys got together after she really helped you out

Sitting on her lap makes others tremble, wondering if they're the next victims

And when she's with you finding your target, its no surprise that the hit that got put on them not only brought you but also her

Gets you the best weapons and often spars with you just to keep you up and ready

You can never beat her though, then again, you get real close and that assures her you can handle yourself

Sevika gets scared when you're gone for days on days, lets be honest here

She's terrified and hates to admit it and will never show or tell you

But you know, just by the way Sevika holds you when you get back even if its just for a minute or two

LuckMage!Jinx being even more batshit after realizing she really truly did cause all the bad in her life uwu

Strands of hair yanked free of her head as calloused hands fisted into her scalp. The pain of the strain wasn't enough - wasn't enough to block out the words that repeated in her head over and over -

your fault your fault

It had been a good day! Silco had been able to find the scrap she needed to upgrade zapper and she had been able to blow some wannabe big shots into the sewers - a shower of glitter and guts - and Sevika hadn't even said shit about it, had even looked reluctantly impressed.

It had been a good day.

killed everyone because you lost your shit -

"Shut up!!"

Her screams echoed off the metal walls, the echo being the only sound she could hear other than the creak coming from her projects as they swung back and forth from the fans and the sparse bits of furniture that she'd dragged in.

"It can't be - he had to be lying, he had to be," she panted, forcefully ripping her hands from her hair, taking a few strands with her and ruining the slicked back look preceding her braids.

"I'm not magic - I can't - there's no magic folk in the slums, everyone knows that."

Jinx didn't know who she was trying to convince. Herself maybe (or the tall figure of Mylo that sat cross legged on the couch, always judging her).

"I'm no mage," she growled, reaching over to grab the box of scraps that she had been originally tinkering with, had planned to build more of the chemical bombs to tag the Firelights with the next time they showed up. As she violently wrenched a loose bolt from it's holding in the chomper prototype, she couldn't help the way her mind started connecting the dots.

The way she had always been good at shooting (had been good at other things before realizing they were useless).

How no matter what she did, how many Firelights she took down, the bastard in the owl mask stayed unharmed and alive despite everything.

(Jinx wondered if Ekko had kept that necklace she had given him when she was Powder)

That time one of the dull-headed goons had been convinced that a few prayers from her would ensure their mission went well (it didn't and Jinx laughed when he'd come back missing an eye).

When Jinx had been tiny and small, and believed the world of her sister but didn't believe shit about herself.

And according to painted-eyes that had been enough to Jinx everyone around her.

"Such delicate magic, so dependent on your belief and self-esteem, it's no wonder you're known as quite the loose-canon."

So many instances, some small and insignificant while others big enough to smack her in the face as if to say how the fuck did you never notice.

Jinx did her best to ignore the burning sensation tugging at the corners of her eyes. She was good at denying things about people, about herself, and Jinx couldn't help the way she shook as she tried to deny deny deny until it went away.

So she didn't know why or when she had gotten up and had made her way down one of the fan ends. Her mind was viciously blank as she pulled out the tiny weathered chest that had been pushed into the corner, forgotten for years.

"It doesn't mean anything," Jinx whispered viciously, eyes wide and unhinged as she pried open the lock and revealed the contents with a loud creak of the hinge.

Remants of a ghost, of who Powder had been; old prototypes (that never worked - was that why they never worked??) that she had lovingly given names like whisker and scratches, gifts from long dead friends (some not so dead), and small trinkets that Powder-before-she-became-Jinx had hid away before Silco could trash them.

Her lips trembled as she reached in and pulled out the first object that had been so carefully placed on top. Vi's bunny rabbit, the one that she had given the younger girl when Vi had thought that she would be going away for good. Vi had never said anything, never told her that was why she had given the toy to her, but Jinx had known something was wrong.

She still went away for good.

Jinx flinched and couldn't help the small apology she gave the rabbit as her nail ripped into a fragile seam. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you didn't deserve that," she cried, pulling in the plush to hug it delicately to her chest.

When people looked at her, they saw all the harshness and uncaring that lined her edges, but never looked close enough to see much else. They never realized how much of a delicate hand it took to build her bombs, build her weapons, and do what she did.

It was with those delicate hands that Jinx raised the bunny up until it's black beaded eyes were staring right into hers. And then Jinx asked the question that had been burning on her tongue since the mage had so broke her world.

"Was it... my fault... that Vi left?"

She was met with complete and utter silence.

Jinx seemed to crumble as the seconds went by and no one answered; not the scribbles, not Mylo or Claggor, no one. "Did I Jinx her? Did I make it so that she couldn't come back?"

It wasn't true. Jinx had wanted her back, had wanted Vi to come back more than anything even as the flames had nearly scorched her back and her cheek stung to remind her of Vi's anger.

"Names hold power. If you see yourself as a Jinx, to yourself and to everyone around you, the arcane will respond in kind."

The girl sobbed.

Jinx had been born that night. What could have been more unlucky for her family than the birth of a monster?
