#jinx and silco

He might’ve been a little shit to everyone else, but he was a good papa (or as good as he could be) to her and for that, I think he’s not that bad.

Silco and his terror of a daughter

i saw arcane and now i have to apologise to all my friends (but one that got me into it, fuck u bitch, i hate you wholeheartedly T T) because now i’m never going to recover but i am going to shape my whole personality around it and make it everyone else’s problem. i’m sorry, in my defence i do have mental illness.

OMG!!! I forgot I can actually elaborate here so...

I hate hate hate hate hate hate so much that Jinx called Vander "Dad" and I hate more that she never did it with Silco.

Since the first episode it is clear that Vi is Vander's favorite and actually his only child. Powder, Maylo and the other were just kids that he took care of. The same from Powder POV, he was just the guy who took her in.

When he mets Silco the first thing she did was hug him and he LEFT the dagger and hugs her back, he empathizes with her, became her guide, her rock, yes in a terrible way but it was there, he convinced himself that he only wanted her as a weapon but through the first season he little by little realizes that he made the mistake of loving her until the talk with Vander's statue where he says that he understands now how you can do everything for the sake of a daughter (the core idea of S1), once again letting clear that everything Vander did was for A daughter, not two, not four kids, only Vi.

So it is complicated to believe that Jinx sees him as a dad, they barely know each other while Silco see her through the worst and the best of her childhood-adolescence.

I would prefer her seeing Vi and Vander/WW from far, feeling envy because Vi had her dad back while she didn't and will never get him because SHE KILLED him, but from that culprit she feels she learns to respect and protect what her sister loves because her sister is the only person she has, but this involves a rewrite of the first half of Arcane 2 so whatever.

In conclusion, I would've like to see Jinx say "I miss you dad" or "I miss my dad" while broking into tears (ugly crying) in any moment she was remembering him.

Oc I don't think Silco and Jinx had the best and most healthy relationship, this is more about Vander wasn't Jinx dad, Silco was and we were robbed of seeing how it affected Jinx.

Is there anything so undoing as a daughter?

I just realised that some people don't know that silco isn't actually there in the scene where jinx is in jail and having that epiphany. It's also not silco speaking to Jinx it is her own subconscious. It's just taken the form of someone else speaking to her. And I don't think that was a hallucination either I genuinely think jinx imagined silco speaking to her in that moment to make sense of what was going on and to bring her comfort.

Edit:added smth I forgot I wanted to say

It's important to me that people realise jinx is emotionally intelligent enough to come to that conclusion on her own. Yes she has lost it but she's still an intelligent person.

And the fact that she was with him longer than she was with Vander, yet in s2 we get NO flashbacks of her with Silco. He was her dad and we got nothing of them together while we get a lot of vander+ kids content though they set up Silco Jinx as such an interesting father/daughter dynamic in s1

Can I get something off my chest? I was really hoping we'd get more flashbacks of Jinx and Silco together.

their backstory holds so much potential for deeper exploration, expanding on how he raised her after Vander's “betrayal” could have given more insight into how Jinx became who she is, and the complexity of their bond.

Scenes that truly delve into how he cared for her, how their bond was built over time.

I wanted to see those tender, fractured moments where he helped her navigate the chaos in her mind, whether through tough love, quiet support, or simply being there when she had no one else.

Moments where his stern but protective demeanor softened just for her. Maybe a glimpse of him patching her up after a dangerous mission, or the way he'd indulge her quirks when no one else could.

He wasn’t just her dad, he was her anchor in a world that had abandoned her, and it would’ve been fascinating seeing more of how he filled that role. Their bond was so complex god

There’s so much we don’t know, and so much that could have been shown, and I can’t help but feel like more flashbacks could have given it even greater depth.

Can we all agree that Silco was obviously responsible for Powder/Jinx's amazing hairstyles in all timelines?

OMG 😭😭😭

I love the little detail of Jinx scrunching up her nose when upset only on one side of her face and how she clearly got it from Silco.

Cos Silco's likely only emoting like that cos half of his face is paralyzed and so when he does it it looks natural, he just can't move that part of his face and it's likely that without the scar Silco would be emoting with his whole face.

However when Jinx does it it looks a little awkward. She has to keep half of her face relaxed meanwhile emote with the other half. So not only did she pick up this face expression from him but also the quirk of only doing it with one side of her face even tho for her it makes no sense. And not only does she mimic his face expression but she also acts a little like a literal mirror, with Silco emoting with the right side of his face and Jinx emoting with her left side.

[lady-griffin]

I’m definitely not a blubbering mess thinking about Jinx believing she’s this actual curse on people’s lives, an actual literal jinx. That if Silco and Isha hadn’t found her then their lives would’ve been so much better. That she ruined their lives. That without her, they would still be alive and all that shit.

Because that’s not true.

She was this bright, colorful splatter of paint that made both of their lives so much better and neither one of them would’ve traded the time they had with her for anything, because they loved her so goddamn much.

Even though she wasn’t Powder to them and only Jinx – she was in a no way a jinx to them or their lives.
