#obviously doesn’t absolve him of lying but likeeee

[onyxcherri]

So everyone labels Silco as a bad dad(because he lied about why Vi was back) but he was also loving, right? I just thought of a reason as to WHY he lied and I’m questioning if he’s still a bad dad in my own opinion now!!

If I have to question my thoughts so do you!!

Run with me here, so Silco obviously has trust issues with being betrayed/left behind, right? For Jinx(whose issues also stemmed from this) grew into a mentality where she might be “replaced.” (We see it in her major crash out over seeing Vi and Cait). What if Silco developed the same way?

Someone he thought of as a BROTHER betrayed him and he didn’t even get an apology or anything. (obviously I’m not blaming Vander, I’m saying this in Silco’s pov). Why WOULDNT he also grow the same mentality over being betrayed(and from here stems being replaced)? He’s more than likely more subtle than Jinx because he wasn’t a child when he was betrayed, unlike her who has to process that so fucking young.

So when he lied to Jinx about why Vi was back, maybe (HUGE MAYBE) he was only trying to ensure that Jinx wouldnt “leave” him behind. If you were Silco, and you told your daughter that her sister was dead but apparently said sister is alive and back for Jinx, would you not assume that she would rush to Vi and never look back? And if he DOES think people(mostly Jinx ofc) would replace him….

ADDING ON, he already saw violence as the means of change (no judgment but still, killing is a big nono), the easiest and most efficient solution in his shoes is just get rid of Vi…without Jinx’s knowledge but he gets caught so he lies….

Sorry I was rambling, I had this thought at like 1 AM as to why he lied and I have to vent
