#auntie jinx will never exist god kill me

[belle-rosse]

If Caitvi were to have a daughter, I myself will name that child Peony. I don’t care if they confirm she has another name or whatever, they’ll never catch me calling her anything else. Especially after what we saw in S2E7.

Let me explain. In episode 7, Powder wore a blue peony on her necklace, symbolizing the purest form of love: an eternal love, even against the rules of time. By deciding to leave it behind, I think it refers not only to Ekko but also to Vi. Vi who will never suffer the curse of time again because she's stuck in the memory of those who loved her. Powder carries Vi in every aspect of her life, from things like her hair to an entire altar in her safe space. After seeing the mural of the life Vi could have had, she accepts that she must move forward for both of them.

I think the same would happen in a universe where Vi lives and Jinx does not (wink wink... we all know she lives). A daughter would put Vi back in the role she had as a teenager, once again placing responsibility on her shoulders even after everything went wrong. It’s impossible that she wouldn’t be reminded of Powder.

Now, here’s the interesting part. From what I read, blue peonies don’t exist/are very rare in nature. Generally, what are called blue peonies are, hear me out, lavender, a mix of red and blue, a softer shade of violet. They’re never naturally blue; they can never exist alone. They’re a reflection of other colors, an almost mystical rarity, and totally out of reach. Tell me something more Jinx-like than that.

But I also read that these flowers represent eternal love, as well as freedom and loyalty. It’s what connects Vi and Jinx perfectly. Even after everything they've been through, they’ve always remained loyal to each other, eternally intertwined by the love they share. Even if one of them dies or the other is far away, they will never be free from each other’s memory.

I’m not a fan of characters naming their children after deceased family members, especially when the story is about moving forward. Vi giving herself a second chance to care for someone as innocent as Powder once was—a child—trusting life again could be an important opportunity to immortalize her sister while also letting go of the past. Her daughter will never be Powder, but Vi will love and protect her just the same, in a better world for both Piltover and Zaun.
