#bcuz except for the 1st scene act 1 wasn't really in Jinx's perspective it was more of vi's story at the start and only when vi was removed

We don't really talk about how on Jinx's artbook she's crossed out Vi, Sevika, and Ekko's eyes out like they're dead.
First we've got Vi. We can tell it's Vi because of the bangs and "Fat Hands" moniker right below. The ponytail threw me off at first, but now it's been confirmed that Vi will grow out her hair throughout s2 so it falls together.
Then we've got Sevika looking like an "ogre", as Jinx would call her. You can even make out Sevika's new bob cut, it's around the eyes, and darkened at the left side and top. (Why does Jinx always have to take a shot at Sevika? *sigh*)
Finally there's Ekko, which doesn't need justification thankfully. Ekko looks kind of angry (a little offended) in a funny way, the context is probably not not going to be funny at all.
I can't say for sure that all the crossed out eyes really means that Vi, Ekko, and Sevika will die, it's just that the only characters depicted from Jinx's perspective with eyes like that are either dead, inanimate, or both.
The crossed out eyes could mean that Jinx gets to a point with all these characters where instead of hearing them she's projected her own inner voice onto them, permanently coloring her perspective on their relationships. Or maybe they're just dead to her, metaphorically speaking. There's a lot of options.
#arcane#arcane meta#jinx arcane#vi arcane#ekko arcane#sevika#sevika looks dead tho if we take it at face value#vi and ekko just seem angry#I've never thought about if jinx ever projected a voice onto the bunny whether in act 1 or retroactively in her memories but now i wonder#bcuz except for the 1st scene act 1 wasn't really in Jinx's perspective it was more of vi's story at the start and only when vi was removed#did we focus back into how Jinx's mental illness manifests from her perspective bcuz jinx was always mentally ill#it's gotten much worse but it was already pretty bad from the jump#so what did she make the bunny say in what should have bern a sweet moment where vi tried to uplift her?#could it be doubt pulling her away from vi's words keeping jinx from actually internalizing them
