tbh I find Caitlyn's use of the Gray really interesting not only as a form of chemical warfare, but of psychological warfare too. The way she deliberately designed the strike force uniforms to work in tandem with the Gray in order to mimic the appearance of a monster from Zaunite stories with very recent presence in Zaun's recent memory (it was only during Cassandra's lifetime that the Gray was "locked away") to evoke fear in ordinary Zaunites is so so crazy to me.
And Jinx REALIZED that!! that's (maybe.) WHY that showdown took place in front of a carving of Janna– she's using those stories (which likely evolved alongside one another) to frame her reaction to Caitlyn's crimes as a sort of divine retribution!
Caitlyn thinks Jinx is this terrifying monster of a girl, and while it's true Jinx has done some awful things, ever since the beginning of this season (arguably since after the timeskip, even) Jinx has been working in direct response to Caitlyn and Caitlyn's actions, whether or not either of them are truly aware of it.
#arcane spoilers#the cool thing about this series is that you can pull any two characters and draw significant parallels in a lot of places#but Jinx and Caitlyn especially have been mirroring each other since the beginning.#especially now that both are being propped up as unwilling/unaware symbols of Zaun and Piltover#(idk anything about LoL so i'm not sure how these ramblings hold up with that lore in mind lmao)#anyways.#this is half me stating the obvious and half me making stuff up. fuck it we ball#also Caitlyn. girly. the problem isn't that u aren't taking the shot. it's that u keep pointing ur gun at people#i also don't think enough ppl are talking about Jinx's very real suicidal ideation like that girl wants to DIE#she went into that fight with two goals: releasing the Gray into piltover and being killed by Vi
