Fish Silco nooooo 💀💀💀😭😭😭😭

Fortiche: “Nous sommes désolés d'avoir tué votre homme tumblr sexy. Tiens, prends ce poisson à la place.”

[q8qwertyuiop8p]

Everyone always says silco looks like a rat but I've always thought he looked like a fish?

Like he has that dejected look, downturned mouth, long nose, wide oddly colored unblinking eye, dunkleosteus teeth, and he loves water. He also circles Marcus like a shark.

Don't tell me this doesn't look like an actual fish

Also not silco related but I'm now realizing how stupid most fish look now I can't look at one without smirking, like just imagine if a person looked at you like that

Silco, Amara, and the Blood Moon Cult in Zaun

It's more likely that Silco was sending his shipment of Shimmer to Ionia rather than Noxus. It's easy to conclude that Silco was expanding his market into Noxian war bands because it's Noxus, of course they'd want it. But why would Silco trust Noxian clients with such a sensitive weapon when Noxus is so close to Piltover? A good chunk of Piltover's upper crust, which includes Councilors, go out of their way to accommodate their Noxian clients, even if it means engaging in illegal trade. Despite their principles on "peace" Piltover is fine to host a Noxian war lord, and when the Hexgates temporarily closed the people they voice concern for are for no one else but their Noxian clientele.

If Silco supplied Noxians with Shimmer and he managed to successfully establish Zaun. There's nothing stopping disgruntled Piltovans to call upon their own allies in Noxus to crush his revolution using the same weapon he used to start it. Once he sends it to Noxus, Silco has no real control over which war band actually gets the Shimmer, and who they're loyal to. Plus trusting Noxians is a losing game, they're more likely to try to steal Shimmer factories then do business.

If anything, the show points toward Ionia interacting more commonly with Zaun than with Piltover. Sure there are some cool easter eggs that reference Ionian champs like Jhin, and skinlines like the Blood Moon, but there's an actual tangible presence not found in Piltover. And it starts with the two mysterious figures in the background of episode 1.

They stand out not just because they're height and clothes, but because they're wearing very specific masks. Both these monks are wearing masks with the Blood Moon on their forehead. Despite the fact it's just the Lunari symbol flipped upside down, the Blood Moon cult is Ionian in origin. Technically the cult only exists in an alternate universe skin line where they're characterized as members of a secret order that performs arcane rites to merge with demons and harness their power, in the canon line it's only supposed to be a holiday in Ionia, like the lunar new year. Then again, Arcane isn't beholden to canon and tends to do its own thing.

We never see them topside in Piltover, but we do see someone dressed in a similar fashion, it's Amara. The Blood Moon cultists cover themselves in purple cloth and wear two orange ornaments shaped into the blood moon sigil that hang on either side of the front of their hats, with a third purple sigil on the forehead of their masks. On the two different occasions we see Amara she largely wears purple. And up close we can see that her she wears orange-red earrings with a purple bindi at the center of her forehead. The only thing missing are the crescents that wrap around the blood moon.

At first, I would have called this coincidence, but then I took further notice of her appearance. She appears to dress like a typical wealthy merchant from Piltover, but if you look closer, you notice glaring inconsistencies. Her entire outfit is off, it's got the general cut of a Councilors outfit, but it's also purposefully uneven in length of cloth and adornments, almost like you'd find in Zaun. I've mentioned before that the rich in Piltover probably play around with Zaunite fashion at parties, but Amara's outfit is practically casual in its asymmetry compared to her peers.

Amara's outfit makes her look like an outlier compared to everyone else. We already know Amara is corrupt, she donates large sums of cash to Piltover Academy so that Piltover looks the other way when her charters don't make sense, which means she's a smuggler.

But what does any of this have to do with Silco and the Shimmer trade? It's because Amara was helping Silco facilitate it through her own ships.

Let's thinks about it. One, Silco may be an industrialist to the Council but he needs contacts on the inside to keep track of developments in Piltover, he can't just rely on Marcus. He needs more established cover when he has Shimmer shipped out. Two, his crew may have been on the ship, but that doesn't mean the ship belonged to Silco. Silco has money, but not THAT much money by Piltovan standards. A part of their arrangement could just be that Amara provides her name and a ship (not a nice one), but Silco needs to cover the bribe, and give Amara a percentage of the profit.

Silco's probably cultivated a litany strange bedfellows both within and outside Piltover's borders to ensure Zaun's rise. Amara's donations means she gets to be among the first to hear about new developments in Hextech before the market does. Amara might share the news with Ionia and Silco, because how else did Jinx know where to find the hexgem with time to spare for graffiti? How would Silco know that the gem was actually important when he saw it for the first time and not just a high quality rock? According to the Council Archives, this wouldn't even be the first time Silco has recruited a Piltovan, one of his chembarons, Chross of the Hush Company, is originally Piltovan but is now dedicated to Zaunite Independence.

But what does Amara get out of it? Easy, arms for Ionia, or at least her faction.

Ionia's situation is tricky to explain because Arcane doesn't really follow League of Legends canon. It gets the general idea, but then does other stuff. The First Invasion of Ionia by Noxus led to the slaughter of countless Ionians during Noxus's occupation, which included soldiers and civilians alike. The Ionian region was wildly unprepared for the war as the people of the region promoted a culture of peaceful resolution towards each other and nature, while the Emperor of Noxus wanted to kill as many Ionians as possible to steal anything that MIGHT grant him immortality. To drive out Noxus, they had to take arms and defend themselves to end the brutality. After barely winning, plenty of provinces within Ionia (there's no real centralized government) we're left to decide how to move forward both culturally and geopolitically. Some factions sought to return to their pacifist isolationism, other groups are building an ultranationalist movement to unify Ionia under one leader and to militarize Ionia's magic, it's a mixed bag.

The Blood Moon cult, or whatever they call themselves in Arcane, is probably one answer some Ionians found as they dealt with Noxus's occupation. If you noticed the original iteration of the Blood Moon cult is bathed in red, but the cultists cover themselves in purple, Lunari purple. I've already talked at length about the possible Lunari diaspora in Zaun, but I didn't mention the one that canonically exists in Ionia!

To escape the ongoing pogroms organized the Solari, many Lunari either went into hiding or fled the Targonian region altogether. Some Lunari managed to flee all the way to Ionia. Imagine the utter devastation to know all the struggle to find safety meant nothing when Noxus invaded. It all just doubles over because in Arcane, we see Noxian war lords like Ambessa terrorize Targonian Lunari like the princess in Mel's flashback, likely with the aid of Solari allies. It never stopped for them. What's even worse is that NONE of the other regions aided them during the slaughter, the only real aid was the emperor's own incompetence.

After the war, I'm sure a good portion of Ionia's Lunari diaspora, and plenty of other Ionians never wanted to be that vulnerable again and are currently seeking ways to increase their military strength. Thematically, it goes hand in hand with Silco's own struggle to create an independent Zaun to escape Piltover's brutality, the willingness to do anything, no matter how dark to defeat a superior enemy. So, as problematic as Shimmer can be, it's an effective healer and strength enhancer in a vial for the desperate.

But how do we know that the First Invasion of Ionia even happened yet? Because Arcane has already hinted at Urgot appearing next season.

Urgot as a champion was a former executioner for Noxus. In Urgot's lore, Swain had to make sure Urgot was out of Noxus before he could execute his coup against the emperor after the failed Invasion of Ionia. So Swain had Urgot sent to Zaun on fake mission to have him subdued and subsequently imprisoned to never return to Noxus.

In this still of post time skip Zaun, we see that the central figure of the image is technically the tattoo that's supposed to reference the League of Legends band Pentakill. But to the left is the real hint, it's the tattoo artist. It's the same tattoo artist that appeared in Urgot's debut splash art in League. I'm sure Urgot's story won't be 1-to-1 with League lore, but it will fit enough to put him in Piltover because the Medarda family is in a bad spot against a man who clearly has more sway in Noxus than them.

I can't say whether or not the robed cultists work directly under Amara or not. Amara and them might be separate agents where the robed figures make deals and she provides cover. What I do know is that the cultists have shown up in Zaun since Silco was ready to distribute Shimmer from the very beginning and show up again after their largest shipment yet was destroyed. Does this make any of them friends? Probably not. Frankly, Amara probably wants to take control of the trade in my opinion. Why, because Amara is the name of a large fish species that acts as an ambush predator in river systems (it's just spelled Aimara). And Finn had said there's bigger fish than Silco (it's such a dumb pun, it has to be true). She might care about what Ionia suffered and can still feel like Shimmer should be under her control instead, but that's a post for another day.

There's a larger discussion to be had about the ways in which the moon(s) of Runeterra and Lunari have blended into Ionian culture in Arcane. Clearly the moon and Lunari imagery is more synonymous with Ionian culture in Arcane, and then it's juxtaposed against the Mel's Solari aesthetics mixed with Ambessa's Noxian violence. Then over the show Piltover is typically bathed in daylight and the shining sun while housing Noxians and their intrigue. It practically begs the final scene to mean more, that it isn't just Jinx striking back for herself, for Silco, or Zaun, but it's larger retribution against the existing order of power.

[silcoitus]

when mommy silco?

At the risk of coming across as a complete boomer, I'm gonna need more details lol especially considering I've never written a mommy/daddy fic.

*tucks finger under your chin* Tell Coi what you want and maybe I can give it to you if you behave.

[frostybearpaws]

“SILCO!”

“eep.”

*bonus Silco going apeshit*

(If you’re wondering what the black stuff is, he doesn’t breath fire on the account that he lives in the water, however his body collects and concentrates the Pilt’s toxins and turns them into a very acidic substance he can spit at people)

[q8qwertyuiop8p]

So remember that post I made about how silco's head looks like a fish?

Look what Darkside Jinx found at the Paris expo

Eye? Fishhead? Drawings of a dead fish? Could this be proof that Silco returns in her hallucinations??? Are we finally given a hint of our little sharkie in season 2???

I believe the "stwky" is actually "stinky" but the I and N are close together. I'm not sure why it was included 💀

But at least Silco isn't dumb! He's cool now! 😃

I made more Silfish to celebrate

[aikoiya]

I kinda want this fic for serious.

Imagine: okay hear me out. The pollution from beneath Piltover is leaking out into neighboring Vastayans aquatic villages, towns and cities. Vastayan spies are dispatched from one of the closer neighboring aquatic villages (thats right MERMAIDS and MERMAN of different fishy aestheic). They return flabbergasted and absolutely appalled at the treatment and state of Piltovers under-city.

Vastayans are piiiiiised like damn we new ya’ll was selfish but you’re not even taking care of your own!

-que Vastayans showing up to the councils front door not giving a shit and being like (id like to think their practice in the arcane can give them human legs???). “This is not a negotiation, compromise or deal. You have NO CHOICE but to take our help in cleansing your city. Cuz wtf, you should be ashamed. And what is going on in the fissures?! Damn dudes get it together!!”

-Council is absolutely sweating their tits or balls off cuz its them against hundreds and hundreds of arcane and magic users. Shiiiiit looks like they got everyone here so…

-Que the vastayans helping clean up the undercity by force and giving Zaun complete access to natural resources like cleaning up that damn polluted lake in the fissures and the undercity becoming absolute broooss with aquatic Vastayans.

Enter: Squadron leader Aquatic!Vastayan!Reader on two legs over seeing everything looking like a daaaaaamn fine badass like oh my god she lookin fiiiine.

Enter: Silco being absolutely into this shit like “haha pretty fish lady go “Clean this place up and give these people rights while your at it” and falls hardcore in love.

-Everyone lives and nobody dies cuz Vastayan’s can be fucking terrifying.

[chappellroansdreamgirl]

sevika and her kitty gf! ^.^

author's note - uhhh this kinda sucks but i have better shit coming i promise!!!!

content warnings - fluff mostly, mentions of death i think??? or mentions of violence- MENTIONS OF VIOLENCE!!!!!

--------------------------------------------

- in my head, nekos can like pick and choose whether they want to be in cat-form or hybrid form, and that's kinda what happened when you two met.

- it was an especially bad day for sevika, another one of jinx's plans had failed which had meant silco had thrusted the responsibility of cleaning up his daughter's mess on his #2 . it was exhausting, having to care for a child she hadn't even signed up for. she had longed for a connection that wasn't about power or obligation, just pure domesticity.

- a group of drunks was messing around with you in an alleyway, throwing rocks at you and such, usually sevika would walk on with her night. but something stopped her from doing that this time and she scared the group off with her presence rather quickly.

- you nuzzled your face against her leg, rubbing on it repeatedly as the prettiest purrs came out of your mouth, she let you stay like that for a while until she decided to continue her walk back home.

- but everytime she turned around, she would see you curiously follow her around, your ears perked up and your paws never planted that much on the ground.

- she tried scolding you, yelling at you, trying to get you purposefully lost in dark places. but she eventually caved and let you follow her. "one night only."

- she didn't know what to feed you so she cooked you salmon because it's common knowledge that cats like fish.

- she let you roam around the house, gritting her teeth everytime she had to reprimand you each time your paw almost "slipped" and broke something. but at least you were smart enough to not repeat the same mistake twice. you listened well, she'll give you that.

- at some point, she found herself in bed with a kitty sleeping snuggly on her chest, her upper body vibrating as the creature was purring happily atop of the feared woman, your tail tickling sevika's buff arms every now and again.

- she'd never admit it to anyone but she melted when she saw you like that, having imprinted on her already.

- you could understand her surprise when sevika expected to see a furry friend perched on top of her chest and woke up next to a random woman with the same fluffy ears as the cat she couldn't find anywhere else in her home.

- after you had explained to her what you were and your abilities, she had felt way better than she had when she thought a random woman came into her house.

- you had offered her something no one else ever had. if she had provided you with a place to stay, you would provide her with some type of companionship.

- she was hesitant and hadn't believed you could offer her anything she hadn't already had. but she agreed, half out of amusement and half out of thinking this was a gift from the universe somehow.

- you'd always be waiting at the door in cat-form for her when it was time for her to come home. at first you'd take the initiative and lay down in her lap. curling yourself up in a comfy ball, spreading your paws out on sevika's thighs.

- after a while of getting used to this sevika would pick you up herself and situate you somewhere close to her, you two would usually stay there for the remainder of the night.

- when you're in hybrid form and cuddling, she loves to stroke your tail while you're on top of her. she'll call you a pretty kitty as you purr into the crook of her neck.

- whenever you two get into an argument, you immediately go into cat-form and walk off somewhere else when you've had enough, something sevika both loves and hates.

- wouldn't it be so funny if sevika had started bringing you around to the last drop with her while she's gambling. it was unheard of before but no one was going to question sevika. but then some guy cursed at you or something for getting too close to him while you were wandering around and then she had to beat some guy's ass over her cat.

- loves when you put your head in her lap and she can give your ears a good scratch.

- when she's had a really terrible day, you'll lay down on her chest and plant little kitten kisses all over her skin.

[issa-wasteland]

I'm so tired seeing her getting her ass kicked and it's a shame like THIS WOMAN IS A UNIT!!!

Her body tea. She's super thick. She's super pretty💖

Idc she's 6'0 to me

I do love seeing characters all bloodied up from a fight. I truly do, and I feel like we don't appreciate that art enough.

Lost a fight to Vi and got a lightsaber sword second round like good for her.

Like I do understand why folks would go FERAL especially if she grabs you like this

Her voice is music to ears ✨️

She doesn't get enough credit for all the shit being handed to her. From dealing with snakes and silco's business to losing to a pair of sisters and needing to repair her arm each time. Hopefully, she finally quits smokin and train harder cause Finn did say there's bigger fish than silco. Who really knows

[archangeldyke-all]

No bc I keep thinking of modern Sev trying to get into the dating game because she wants to settle down and she gets on a dating app because Jinx had mentioned in a conversation with Silco and she ends up matching with reader,,, ahh it’s stuck in my brain

i changed this just a bit to make jinx even more of a shithead hehehe i hope u love it

men and minors dni

"aunt sevy." sevika rolls her eyes at the nickname she hates, and looks up from her book at jinx.

the girl's ten years old now, old enough to know just the right buttons to push to annoy sevika. and sevika's stuck on babysitting duty, because she's an idiot and agreed to be the shithead's godmother when jinx was still a harmless, quiet baby.

"what?" she grunts.

"why don't you have a wife?" jinx asks.

sevika groans. "did your dad put you up to this?" she asks. silco's been bothering her about the same thing lately.

"no." she says. "'m jus' wonderin'. when we have birthday parties and stuff, all the adults bring their boyfriends and girlfriends and wives. but you never do. why not?" jinx asks.

sevika tries her best not to kick jinx's shin. she manages, but not without flicking the kid's forehead.

the truth is that sevika's been asking herself the same thing lately. but she's realized that after so many years of emotionless hook-ups, she's got no idea how a relationship would even fucking work, and she's decided it's easier for everyone if she just... doesn't try.

"mind your own buisness." sevika grunts eventually. jinx studies her with those frighteningly inquisitive eyes of hers, before she smirks, turns on her heel, and runs to her room.

sevika's too relieved by jinx's disappearance that she doesn't even consider that the girl could be up to something.

three days later, sevika gets a call from silco at five in the morning.

"do you know what fucking time it is?" she groans into the receiver as she rubs her sleepy eyes.

"i'm sorry."

"what's so fuckin' important that you couldn't wait to tell me at work?" sevika asks.

silco's responding sigh is long enough for sevika's stomach to sink. "you should dress nice today. a suit, maybe, or at least nice slacks and a button up."

"why? do we have a meeting?"

"no." silco says. sevika waits for him to elaborate, but he doesn't. she huffs.

"silco what the fuck is going on?" she asks.

"you have a date tonight."

it's silent for a few moments. sevika tries to remember if she'd drunkinly given out her number to someone, or if silco asked her to butter up a client. she draws a blank. "...i do?" she asks.

silco sighs again. "jinx got the idea in her head that you need a wife, so she made you a dating profile."

"what?!"

"she's been cat fishing some poor person as you, and she's scheduled a date for the two of you tonight at seven."

"she what!?" sevika screams. her neighbor pounds on the wall that they share. sevika pounds right back. "silco, there is no way in hell i'm going on a date jinx set up for me."

"yes, i figured you'd say that." silco sighs. sevika's phone buzzes. "check your messages."

sevika pulls her phone away from her face and checks the new text sent from silco.

she gulps when your picture pops onto her screen.

you're... everything. if sevika was asked to describe her type, she'd have described you to a tee.

silco starts talking on the other line, and sevika blinks down at your picture one last time before pulling it back up to her face.

"fine." sevika grunts. she can hear silco's smile, and she huffs. "shut the fuck up. which suit should i wear?"

silco cackles on the other line.

sevika almost passes out when she meets you in person. you're stunning, and she's nervous, and she knows absolutely nothing about you even though it seems like jinx has told you everything about her.

it's only when you've ordered your dinner and are chatting over bread that sevika finally confesses.

"i have to tell you something." she mutters.

you pause mid-chew, your lame story about a fat squirrel you'd seen earlier today entirely forgotten at the sight of your gorgeous date's grimace. "don't tell me you're straight." you groan.

sevika cackles, and you relax a bit into your seat, smiling as you watch her catch her breath. "no!" she laughs. "god, no." she wipes her eyes. "i am very gay. and i find you..." she trails off, her eyes darting down to your lips for just a flash, before she blinks and shakes her head. "very attractive." she says.

you gulp, ignoring your sudden arousal. "so... what's the problem?" you ask.

sevika sighs and looks down at her hands. "you've been catfished."

you frown. "uh..." you study the woman in front of you. "you are sevika right? i mean... you look just like your pictures..."

sevika chuckles and shakes her head. "yes, that's me in those pictures. but you haven't been talking to me all week."

"so..." you're beyond confused. "who have i been talking to?" you ask.

sevika cringes. "my fucking shithead niece." she says.

relief floods your body. this isn't a scam or a fucked up prank-- it's a real date with a beautiful woman who's looking at you like she's expecting you to throw your glass of wine in her face.

instead, you burst into laughter. "you sound awfully fond of her."

sevika's stiff posture relaxes, and she huffs her own laugh. "she was cute before she could talk." she says, shrugging. you laugh even harder, reaching across the table to take sevika's hand and squeeze it as you try to compose yourself. "but now she's old enough to ask me why i'm still single and work a smartphone..."

"well, that explains why you had so many typos in your texts."

"oh, god." sevika groans.

"you misspelled 'restaurant' like five times."

"it's a hard word." she chuckles.

you pull the gorgeous woman's hand up to kiss her knuckles, and watch in fascination as all her worry and embarrassment melts away. "so." you say.

"so." sevika repeats.

"if you'd like to leave i understand, i won't be offended. i'm not sure i'd be into the dates my little cousins would pick out for me."

"no!" sevika shouts. she cringes as half the restaurant turns to look at her. you giggle. "no, that's not-- i really want to be here. i just-- i just wanted you to know that you weren't talking to me... you were talking to a ten year old."

it's quiet for a minute as you try to wrap your mind around the situation. so you'll have to re-introduce yourself to the woman in front of you-- that's fine. you're looking forward to getting to know her, and it seems like she wants to get to know you too.

you take a sip of your wine, then giggle when a thought occurs to you. "god, i'm so fucking glad i didn't try sexting with you." you say.

sevika bursts into surprised laughter, and she has to pinch herself to keep from launching over the table and kissing you.

(jinx never lets sevika live down the fact that she married the first person she picked out for her aunt.)

(jinx also officiates your wedding.)

(For the stock image drawing inspo asks)

That scene where Silco is holding Jinx always reminds me of that stock photo of a guy holding a blob fish while looking really upset.

I actually made this one already :D
