#dad Silco

[gildedpomegranates]

Obligatory meme altered for [insert fandom] post. This is my interpretation of how Silco and Vander co-parenting would go.

[eggcompany]

Vander absolutely holds babies in one hand. Likes to make them giggle, and tickles their little bellies. He cries if they cry.

Silco holds them close to his chest, like you have to pry them away. He likes the way they smell.

Silco and Jinx, from the episode 4 colorscript (upscaled)

Everyone in season 1: Silco can’t braid Jinx’s hair and had to be taught because Sevika wasn’t doing that shit

Everyone in season 2 after knowing what we know and the alt universe: Silco single-handedly braided and nurtured Jinx’s hair to the length and health it’s at because he used to help Felicia braid hers for practice when he was bored and she didn’t want to do it

Love how Jinx tells Silco that she's struggling with creating a weapon with the hextech because she keeps having flashbacks and he's like "Damn. You should drown about that."

Season 2 copium?

I fully believe Silco was involved in their lives right up until their parents death, and I think they would have discussed it - on their better days. I envision Jinx to be about 13/14 here and to somewhat remember Silco from before.

Silco hummed, fingers deftly parting hair. “I braided your mother’s hair once.”

Jinx freezes, the quiet scratching of her sketching silenced. Her hair is so long now she can turn to look at him without disrupting the braid. “What?” She chokes, her sketch pad clattering to the floor from her seat on his desk.

Silco nods, eyes cast firmly on her hair yet so distant. “When she was pregnant with you. She was rather unwell towards the end of it, and so had to be on bed-rest. But she was as restless as you so your father, Conoll, had us all on shifts watching over her. When your father was at work or otherwise preoccupied, it would be myself or…”

“Vander?” Jinx added, her own eyes looking into a time long past.

Silco nodded. “Yes. Well, one day she was somewhat… disgruntled.” A slight smile covered his lips and he chuckled. “You were heavy in her stomach, you wouldn’t stop moving around-“

“Not much has changed.” Jinx snickered, wriggling from side to side.

Silco chuckled. “Indeed. Anyway, she wouldn’t settle and was getting frustrated at everything, including her hair which kept falling in her face. She tried to tie it up herself, but as I mentioned you were rather heavy and she found it difficult. So I did it for her.” There was a long pause, Jinx’s blue braid held limply between his fingers as Silco stared at it.

Jinx stared at the other complete braid laid over her shoulder. She ran her fingers through the ends. “Do you think she would have braided my hair?”

Silco laughed, a true, proper laugh. “Yes, I believe she would. If she hadn’t hacked it off already. She was rather… animated when it came to cutting hair.” He gave her a pointed look, and Jinx knew he was thinking of someone specific and their lopsided hair.

Jinx snickered slightly, a flash of pink hair clouding her vision. “I’m guessing she never cut your hair then.”

“God, no.” Silco chucked, clasping the metal around the end of Jinx’s braid. “I had long hair, so rarely cut it.”

Silco had to throw himself back to avoid being whipped in the face by said metal as Jinx threw herself around to face him with both eyes and mouth wide. “You had what?!”

Silco smirked, leaning back in his chair. “Oh yes.” He motioned lazily towards her face. “That? I only know how to do that because I used to wear it the same way. I used to look out from under it the same way too.” He watched her with a gentle smile as she twirled her bangs around her painted finger, looking at him in the exact way he described.

For a moment, as he looked upon at the growing child of his once dear friend, he let the pain pass over him in favour of a shared moment of peace with his daughter.

Spoilers for Arcane S2 Sneak Peaks //

“Never thought I’d catch you blubbering. Wonder if Silco even saw that?”

“Twice. When he met me. And when I killed him.”

This dialogue had me crying. Not just because what she’s saying, but the implications it gives. I remember when talking about Silco and Jinx, there was this question about Jinx’s mental health and how much Silco was involved in it. And this just shows. Yeah, Jinx probably hid it from him. She wanted to keep a brave face for him. And so she kept up that facade. And which her insecurities would always slip through, she never broke down in front of him. And given how he always gives Jinx space and lets her come to him first, he probably never saw it until the tea party scene. Not the hallucinations, not the episodes or mental breakdowns. Now there is a level where, he’d have to know to a degree. From Sevika and what Jinx tells him. But I wonder how much that is. He knows her trauma and pain with her sister. And that gets him riled up. But what about everything else? Either way, he’s never seen her full on cry outside those two times. And that makes me sad.

Because what if? What if he ignored Sevika’s advice and went to console Jinx? What if he saw her breaking down? What if he realized the extent of her mental health problems. Would things have ended differently?

TLD-fucking-R; I FUCKING MISS EM 😢

[gildedpomegranates]

Okay, I had another thought. Here's an alternate, more canon version.

Obsessed with the Sevika & Jinx dynamic. Jinx learned to fight somewhere, and it sure wasn't Silco.

[eggcompany]

Silco and Vander being old dads to all the grown kids. Silco is saying something about not being able to find his brand of makeup anymore except in a few small shops.

Someone says something, one thing leads to another, and Vander says he remembers back in the day when Silco was still a model. No one believes him. Their Silco? Papa? A model? No way.

Silco tries to push it away and not mention it. But he does confirm that yes he was a model, in hope of everyone forgetting it.

Of course they don’t. He just hoped they wouldn’t find him in any of the old BDSM catalogues or the skin mags… especially the ones with special features with Vander.

Jinx's drawing of herself and Silco in the artbook, showing the "powder" and "jinx" side of them both

[itsvioletevergarden29]

I absolutely love the little head touch that Silco and Jinx do in the first scene after the time-skip where Jinx is apologizing for messing up on the mission. It's such a sweet, subtle way to show their genuine affection for one another and it reminds me of my relationship with my own father.

[dismas-n-dismay]

Do you think Silco saw Jinx growing more and more like Felicia everyday and it broke his heart to keep seeing her endanger herself.

Do you think he was afraid of losing her like he lost her mother. Do you think he would’ve forgiven himself if she did.
