They're my Roman empire

What's really upsetting about this is the fact that despite everything he did, Silco is one of the first things on Vanders mind when we get a look into his head. It was stated in the first act of season 1 that what he did to Silco is something Vander has spent years regretting, but It's never been so obvious till now.

Vander was and is haunted by what he did, and even after being turned into a beast by Singed he still can't let go of it and the brother he lost. And the worst part is that we now know for certain that if Silco had found that letter, or tried to talk to Vander regardless, he would've welcomed Silco back with open arms.

But that didn't happen and Silco never came back, not that I blame him Vander literally tried to murder him. But still it's tragic that Vander spent years hoping for Silco to come back, only when he did it was to collect Vander's head.

And the fact that this is the version of Silco he remembers the clearest aside from the injured one speaks volumes. Like it's not the version of Silco that killed him, the version that attacked his family and hated his guts. It 's the memory of them being happy together at the last drop that he holds dearest to his heart, it really shows how strong their bond was and still is.

Like no wonder they were so both fucked up by it when everything went wrong.

Jinx's Dynamics Between Sevika and Isha Will be My Current Roman Empire:

Isha is holding onto the role of an inner child/Powder for Jinx.

I keep seeing mother/daughter comparisons between the two. A nice sentiment but not what's playing out. Think of Brittany Murphy's "Uptown Girls" Where a young girl forced to grow up early falls into the care of a woman clinging to her youth. Isha and Jinx will be about the cycle of trauma children face under the corruption of the upper and under cities. Isha is forced to survive at all costs at a young age and Jinx is a damaged individual lost within herself due to the same conditions Isha currently faces.

She's introduced to Jinx almost exactly the same way Silco took Powder in; terrified for her life a child buries herself in an adult for protection. Silco raises a hand to the child and his cronies watch on afraid of what he may do to this kid. Jinx waves a gun at her child and the audience watches on with the same dread Silcos lackeys held. Both sparing the girl and choosing to protect her. When Isha risks her life to save Jinx, I couldn't help but think of how Jinx must've been at that age with Silco. How she made a name for herself as his psycho daughter. The weight of a child ready to risk their life and kill for you.

Almost all of Isha's movements feel like they're just Powders old animations being recycled or her actions directly mirroring hers.

Isha's wardrobe is also very detailed. She has a similar helmet we've seen Powder wear, her boots have a very prominent X stitched on one and the other has a very deep V silhouette, she has one glove that looks like Jinx's gloves, her other arm is covered and wrapped with a red string- reminiscent of Vis wrappings, she also wears a beaded chocker that's laced around her neck the same way Jinx and Sevika wears theirs.

Speaking of Sevika:

Jinx chose to gift Sevika a new arm made out of parts of the old punching game the girls would train on as kids. We know the significance it holds to Jinx, so her taking it apart for Sevika is huge. This act is her dismantling her old relationship with her sister to form a new one with Sevika.

Sevika's eyes reflect more silver this season than brown making her more reminiscent of Powder and Vi. Her hair being down later in the season and Vi growing hers out and dying it black adds to their mirroring. They also fight with mechanical fist(s).

Silco was a man both Jinx and Sevika answered to. Whether or not Sevika viewed him as a Paternal figure, he was her most respected authority figure. Both women have that grief over Silco and bond over their resentment towards him and aimlessnes with him gone.

This post below inspire me to post this, because seriously why aren't more people talking about this.

jinx and silco are my roman empire because No, their relationship wasn’t sexual but also Of Course It Was. she was his daughter and he loved her so much that he was willing to throw away his life’s work and Of Course she loved him too but also she hated his guts because He Killed Her Family and kept her away from her sister. and he was trying so hard to be a good dad for her and he was!! but also he was a terrible father and an even worse person and maybe he didn’t mean to manipulate her but it’s All He Knew so it’s all he did. and then she kills him and you just know she’s feeling a horrific rush of GuiltReliefGuilt because whoops daddy’s gone now and he’s All She Had.
