#dark!ekko

[misfits-of-zaun]

"Nice watch." ((@just–a–jinx))

Naturally, the change to his routine did not go unnoticed. The simple act of him leaving The Last Drop, alone and unprompted, became a spectacle that everyone seemed compelled to comment on. And for every comment, Ekko was equally compelled to snap back an acerbic retort.

"Where are you going?"

Out.

"You never go out anywhere."

How observant. Being my stalker still won't get you that pay rise.

"Project going that badly, huh?"

Mind your own fucking business.

With every exchange, he felt his teeth grinding harder, his shoulders inching higher with acutely self-conscious defensiveness. Why was this being made into such a big deal, anyway? There was no rule against it. He could go out, if he damn well wanted.

He just... didn't usually want to.

Now he was remembering why.

The streets were an assault on his senses - bright neon lights, loud bustling crowds, sickly incense mixed with stale sweat and a clashing cocktail of different food smells from competing stalls. Working girls waving and cooing and trying to catch any wandering eye, merchants hollering for attention and coralling any prospective prey to launch into their sales pitch. Hungry shadows flitting through the throng of people like sharks, seeking unwary pockets to pick. A veneer of vibrant colour and novelty and hedonistic temptation over a dark, dangerous cesspit.

Ekko flinched away from the cacophony of it all, and took to the rooftops. Followed the old routes he'd once known like the back of his hand. The muscle memory was still there, even if the company he'd used to climb with was not.

By the time he'd reached the looming skeleton that remained of Old Hungry - a decrepit shell of a clocktower, long past any serviceable use - a strange, seething feeling had started up under Ekko's skin. He felt twitchy, oddly on edge, as he began to climb on autopilot. Higher. Higher. Past his old perch, which had once been a boasting point. Past the foothold where Mylo had slipped and nearly broken his neck. Past the broken window where Claggor had settled, challenging Vi to try to do better. Past the spire where Vi had done better. Leaving all the ghosts behind.

Static gnawed at the edges of his thoughts, as he took a seat with his back against the clock face, surveying the world below. It was quiet at the top of Old Hungry. Too quiet.

There was no sign of Powder.

With a restless flick of his wrist, Ekko checked the time - nine bells, over an hour after the night markets had opened. Swung his watch down by the chain, then rolled it back into his hand. Release, catch, release. He shouldn't have come out here. This had been a stupid idea. Was that the thrum of a hoverboard?

"Nice watch."

He didn't flinch at the sound of Powder's voice, sudden and close. He didn't react at all, except to slowly turn his head in her direction. His expression was reticent, almost somber, with a tentative little quirk at the corner of his mouth as he drank in the sight of her.

"...You showed up." His voice was mildly surprised, and cautiously pleased.

"Y'know, I'd forgotten about this place. Kind of a shithole, isn't it?"

He implies she's worth building something new with, next thing we know he's wearing a more revealing outfit with her signature X doodled all over his body. Good for him!

Also, between this scene and the moment they show up in battle, they've apparently had the time to: - turn her entire lab/hideout into a blimp - cover the whole thing in giant tags of the firelights symbol, her cloud tatoos, and more - rebuild pow pow and fishbones, which were very much broken in act 2 - rally the firelights - cut and dye her hair - crop his top - pierce his ears - sew her a shark hoodie - cover her entire body in crayon drawings - accessorize their outfits - again, turn her lair, a giant airshaft, into a functional blimp

Maybe Ambessa gave her entire army the week off before battle. Maybe Jinx and Ekko were on unfathomable amounts of cocaine. We'll never know

Arcane: Season 2 | Stealth Mission | Official Clip | Netflix

[jayktoralldaylong]

One of my favourite things about Arcane is that all the couples can be read as toxic, which is GREAT.

I'm tired of people bringing morality debates into dark media. Let dark media be fucking dark. You guys wouldn't survive a day in the TMA fandom, needing everyone to be as good as gold. How are they going to make for enjoyable complex characters if they're not morally grey. In fact, I wish there'd been more expansion on just how morally black they can become!

"CaitVi is so toxic" According to lesbian statistics, that sounds just about accurate. 💀 Heck, I wish Caitlyn had done more (Not really, but it would have been nice to further explore the darkness in her heart). Isn't it adorable how she immediately folded as soon as Vi called her cupcake? Caitlyn's like one of those villains that will consistently do the most....until it comes to someone else hurting her girlfriend. The only one allowed to hurt her girlfriend is her. 💀

Then let's talk about Vi. Someone pointed out how Vi never cared about Zaun's independence in the first place and many people yelled that they were wrong. But actually, they were right. Vi never wanted Zaun. Zaun was Silco's dream, and Jinx inherited that dream cause Silco would never shut up about it. Vi wanted Piltover to take responsibility for all the shit they allowed to happen in the Undercity. That's a part of the reason she joined up with Caitlyn in the first place. Let's not forget she wasn't dissuaded when she dragged Jayce down to fight with her and he killed a child. Children been dying, it's been her whole life. Someone needed to do something about it, and Zaun would have just isolated the people from all the privileges that Piltover SHOULD have been providing for them. Some people just can't accept that Independence cannot in fact solve every problem, and sometimes independence is colonisers running away from the responsibility of fixing the mess that they started in the first place.

Besides, we all know Vi joined up with the Enforcers because "I feel like I am worthless if I can't be of service." She'd already run out of family members to serve, Caitlyn was the next best thing. She's just like Jayce.

And speaking of Jayce, let's talk about his violent levels of codependency with anyone who'll give him attention. People LOOOOVE to talk about Mel, but it's there with Viktor too. When bro wasn't basing his worth on his inventions, he was centering it around Viktor.

Viktor who decided at some point in his life that he would not LIVE without Jayce. He was fine dying without him, but living without him was unacceptable. Oh how healthy. 🙄😂 Viktor be the kind of toxic ex to threaten divorce 500 times over, then burn the world when you actually leave him. Jayce is no better cause he's the kind of guy to keep going back to his toxic Ex.

Yes, Mel is manipulative. That's what I love about her. How are you guys failing to give this woman the praise of being an outsider in Piltover, but running their entire council. 💀 Girl raises her hand once and the whole government starts spinning. She was the best sugar mummy Jayce and Viktor could ever ask for. She kept the whole city running. Literally the entire of Piltover dancing on her palm. And yes she manipulated Jayce but let's not forget she thought that was a love language. 💀 You wanna be mad at someone, be mad at Ambessa for raising her that way.

I also don't think it's fair to blame her for the Undercity situation, she's not native. Monkey see, monkey do, and not a single one of those Council members actually cared about the situation down there, it was deplorable. 💀 Jayce did way more in his two weeks as Councillor than any of those drug pushing, money laundering, Piltovian heads of government.

And that just covers MelJayVik, we don't even need to get fully into TimeBomb, cause we know what's wrong there. 💀 Surely we have not forgotten the many teammates Jinx has killed, but making sure to never kill Ekko cause that's her man. Ekko has a lot to unpack, like how his consistent and unwavering love for Jinx is an indication of a lot of doors he might not be ready to open. I know they dynamics go crazy and I love to see it.

Ambessa and Sevika are a crack ship but I'm sure we all know bedroom dynamics go crazy with Mrs. Warlord and Miss Liberation. I love it when characters clash in a toxic heap. It's insane and should be explored.

Quit saintifying my toxic ships with your woke morality debates. If you want everyone to be sunshine and rainbows then you should be watching literally anything else. 💀 "It's not healthy." GOOD, I like it that way. 💀 Angst, spice and trauma are the recipe for a plethora of explorative fanfiction. Any of their dynamics can be taken in any toxic direction and I want that EXPLORED.

💀The graffiti glows under backlight as a nod to the shimmer cargo ship scene in season 1💀

[misfits-of-zaun]

The look Powder shot him was patently cynical. Skeptical.

“Because you did last time."

Ekko shrugged a shoulder, affecting casual nonchalance to hide the reflexive little wince at the memory. I didn't know. I didn't know it was you!

"Eh, that doesn't really count -" he tried to interject, but Powder wasn't done.

"And because I got you back.”

Well. Yes, there was that.

"So we're square, then," Ekko changed tacks effortlessly, to refute her newest point.

"I got you, you got me. It's even-stevens. Water under the bridge." The lie was flippant, easily rolling off his tongue.

Come on.

Powder looked like she was wavering under his latest tactic.

Come on, take the bait.

It was working. She was approaching the gate again, coming closer. And closer. Were those tears welling in her eyes? Damn. If he'd known the puppy-dog eyes act could be so effective, he'd have whipped it out more.

But maybe it only worked on old childhood friends with lingering guilt issues.

“I didn’t want to hurt you.”

A flicker of childlike uncertainty; a ripple in pitch-dark eyes.

Didn't you?

It certainly felt like you did, at the time.

Powder sounded sincerely remorseful. He hadn't expected sincereness. It was a jarring contrast to her earlier threatening tease, her apparent readiness to follow up with more violence. Had that been a bluster? A part of her must have wanted to talk more than fight, given her choice to stop and engage with him behind the safety of a barrier.

 “You just...freaked me out, that’s all.”

She was so close now.

More than close enough.

Ekko stared, utterly transfixed by the emotions playing across her face, open and vulnerable and imploring. His hand was frozen in his pocket. He distantly realised he was holding his breath, hanging onto her every word. Waiting to hear what else she had to say.

Is... is this real?

He shouldn't be hesitating. The trap was ready to be sprung; he had a perfectly clean shot. Powder's hand was through the bars up to her wrist, in a blatant demonstration of naive trust. There wasn't going to be a better opportunity than this to make up for his mistake three weeks ago - to get her out of the way, and get even.

Why was he hesitating?

“We could…start over? Y’know, if the present isn’t something suuuuuper bad and zappy.”

Treacherously gentle fingers brushed along the back of Powder's hand, clasped it in place, cupped by his own. A point of connection, and a silent command.

Hold still. Present incoming.

He pulled his other hand out of his pocket, coyly curled into a concealing fist, keeping the surprise until he pressed it into her open palm.

An intricate little metal clockwork toy - in the form of a cockroach. With its head wound up, it started toddling along Powder's hand, wings twitching mechanically, making a quiet chirring song. Almost bizarrely harmless in comparison to Ekko's usual creations.

See? Just a little bug. Nothing bad.

Not by itself, anyway.

"...I remember you liked those little clockwork animals." He spoke up in a low murmur, by way of explanation.

"Seemed a fitting choice for you. You're certainly as hard to kill as one."

Definitely harder to kill than those firelight bugs her gang took their name from, anyway.

This was the part where he was supposed to activate the second stage of his lure plan - the part where he got her. But instead Ekko found himself simply standing there, his hand lingering against the underside of her own, oddly reluctant to break the moment.

Ekko's eyes were fixed on her face, watching intently for her reaction. Assessing to see whether she would make up his mind for him.

So, Pow-Pow, what am I? Friend, or enemy?

Ladies' choice.

@just--a--jinx

"What, no goodbye kiss? No note? Stone cold, sweetheart." (Roleswap!Ekko to Powder)

It had been hard to forget about Ekko in the aftermath of everything. The sour reminder of his allegiance and reluctance to let her go (paired with an uncomfortably long recovery time from their last spat) meant the Firelights had gone on to complete their next few hits without their leader. Even once returning to the field, Powder adapted her approach (head injuries were great opportunities to re-evaluate bad life choices, after all). 

It took time to recover, rebuild gear and form plans that wouldn’t result in a repeat of past mistakes. The new bola gun had thrown somewhat of a spanner into the works, but there were two clear weaknesses that accompanied it: they only seemed to have one (and presumably a limited amount of projectiles) and hitting moving targets was going to be one hell of a challenge. They had to be quicker. They had to stick together. They had to keep moving. 

Avoiding Ekko on each job started as pure survival. Did she want to talk to him again? Sure. Did this feel like the right place? Nope! Judging by the intensity of their chases, he was holding some kinda grudge. That didn’t stop Powder from flirting with the danger he created, breaking his line of sight in a flash of colour, attaching ‘gifts’ in the form of chomping smoke bombs onto him and waving from afar to lure him into another chase. Every time she got bolder and every time he got closer. 

This time was no different. A rush of air coursed dangerously close to Ekko. A grinning mask tilted its head, goading with a childish wave. 

Tag! You’re it.

The race was exhilarating as the board shot through dark alleyways, weaving a route away from the main fray before a towering gate cut off the route for any brave enough to take it on foot. Confidently, Powder hopped down, emboldened by the protection of the iron bars. No bola was getting through that. And if Ekko wanted to do something crazy like climb the gutter or a fire escape to jump over? Well, her board would have her gone before he was close. 

After a bored display of waiting and a performative yawn, Ekko appeared. 

The colourful toothed mask watched from the opposite side of the bars. 

"What, no goodbye kiss? No note? Stone cold, sweetheart." 

“Not so good at snatchin’ people, huh?” A little girl’s voice sounded through the mask’s voice modulator. 

With the safety of the barrier, Power pulled the new mask from her face. Scar’s magic had worked wonders on the bruising her face had sustained weeks prior, removing any hint of the brush with death she’d had. Blue paint framed her cheeks and eyes as she waited to see if Ekko would remove his own mask. 

“Didya miss me?”

“What the hell were you thinking?” ((@Just–a–Jinx Sevika))

Ekko scowled down at the floor, holding a rag to his bleeding nose. He was seething with humiliated anger, deeply stung by the betrayal of Powder's blindsiding attack. It had hurt. It still hurt. And now she'd made him look like an idiot.

There was nothing to do but grit his teeth and suck it up. Take the hit on the chin. The damage was already done, after all; there was no salvaging the situation now, with his captive in the wind.

Not that he'd intended on handing her over, anyway. But he'd thought he'd have more time to come up with a plan, and now he was paying the price for his indecisiveness.

"...I don't know." The words were low and muleish.

Was that what Sevika wanted to hear? It hardly mattered at this point. Nothing he said was going to make things better.
