Isha's sacrifice in Arcane 2x06 “The Message Hidden Within The Pattern” 🔫💙

Part 1 || Part 2

Here's a silly little fish (I haven't learned how to draw a big one yet)

The main reason the minecraft movie will inevitably flop is bc the general rule of thumb is that if you want the best video game adaptation, you need to cast Ella Purnell in it as a lead

Bc i genuinely think Arcane and Fallout probably are two of the best video game adaptations

They became the King and Queen of Zaun, and gods help anyone who disrespected the queen.

King Ekko of Zaun, leader of the firelights, healer of the underground, the boy savior, and the boy who shattered time

His queen Jinx of Zaun, the loose canon, the maiden of madness, and queen of the underground

(I can see Sevika and Vi acting as their muscle and advisors. Isha will be their love child, and you can't tell me otherwise!)

There's something about characters that are about to die and, instead of crying, they look at their loved ones and do/say something sweet or funny to try to reassure them... that breaks my heart every single time

Among my mounting bad/unsure feelings about Arcane season two is a feeling of... I don't know, weirded outness over how Jinx is being handled. Just the way they seem to almost be trying to pretend like she wasn't depicted in season one as basically a sadistic, bloodthirsty, would-be school shooter who did shit like shooting animals for fun or blowing up buildings to try and impress her dad.

Like, the narrative of this season seems to be going out of it's way to handle her with kids gloves in a way that season one didn't, treating her as if she's just a "lol so quirky" kind of character or even a genuine revolutionary hero to be idolized as Zaun's leader compared to season one's "oh this lady is genuinely dangerously unstable and a threat to everyone around her". She's not treated as a villain - albeit a tragic one - she's treated like she's a flawed hero at worst.

Hell, I mean, you see it with the whole plot of Zaun following Jinx as a symbol of revolt. Because all throughout season one, Jinx's relationship with Zaun in even the most charitable light amounted to everyone except Silco being fucking TERRIFIED of her or outright hating her guts, and with good reason as she did nothing but make everyone's situations worse by being a mood-swinging killer who attacks anyone and anything around her at the slightest provocation and constantly goes into violent, hallucinatory fugue states at even the most mild of stresses. But than she blows up the council and suddenly everyone is literally equating her with a god worshiped in Zaun? Imagine if you saw people claiming the Unabomber was the Second Coming and you get an idea of how bizarre that is.

Everyone regarded Jinx as a walking bomb in season one. Even a lot of Silco's allies - from Sevika to Marcus - spent said first season saying Jinx was out-of-control and that killing her would be doing Silco a favor, and that was objectively true, especially considering Jinx ends up directly murdering Silco in yet another fit of blind rage and panic. Now we get season two and anyone who seriously opposes Jinx seems to be treated like either a jerk or a burgeoning extremist for not liking a terrorist who kills people because the voices in her head say to do it, and some people who despised Jinx in season like Sevika now act like they're just mildly annoyed by her childishness and weird behavior (something else that was played in a very creepy light in s1, but now seems treated like it's harmless).

Her crimes from season one and even this season are kinda brushed over; there's tepid acknowledgment that she killed Caitlyn's mom and two other councilors, but that's it and nobody really dwells on the fact that she basically did fantasy 9/11. And likewise, Caitlyn is treated as if she's becoming a violent zealot for shooting at Jinx while Isha is near, but nobody so much as comments on Jinx outright murdering numerous children through Grey-bombing Piltover or literally shooting a teenage Firelight in the back in season one just because she looked like Vi.

Speaking of Isha, I hate to say it, but she really does feel like she has no reason for existing beyond making Jinx look better. No themes of Jinx perpetuating the kind of abuse Silco inflicted on her by raising to be the monster she is, no acknowledgment of how dangerous somebody like Jinx would be as a mother, no questioning of the ethics of Jinx's actions, and Isha watching Jinx murder people is framed in a silly, comedic light compared to season one's blunt depiction of how Powder being exposed to violence from a young age warps her. Isha throws straight KILLS HERSELF via suicide bombing and it's framed as a heroic, beautiful act and not a horrific sight of a child being so radicalized by the terrorist that raised her that she thinks killing others and eve herself "for the cause" is good. The series dangles her and Jinx being friendly with each other in front of you like a parent jangling car keys at an infant. "Oooh look at Jinx and Isha dancing and dying their hair haha it's so cute don't think about bad things, Jinx is nice now!".

I just honestly am not a fan of this "Harley Quinnification" of Jinx after season one went out of it's way to tear down that kind of character. Such a big part of Jinx's portrayal there was ripping apart the idea of this manic pixie terrorist who is Totes Awesomes and only hurts bad guys as part of it's larger themes of the ugliness of violence and the dangers of valorizing it. And I really feel like we're losing that. Not even just with Jinx, but with Zaun as a whole, this season feels like it's going full "everything is Piltover's fault, Zaun didn't do nothing wrong, those Piltover babies should just shut up and let themselves be attacked for being big stupid oppressor doodoo heads!!!!" which feels very counterproductive to the series' messages and like frankly shit writing.

Arcane series fans. I have an idea

Silco not just being the father of Jinx but also being the father of Victor (before his jesus era) and Isha and Sevika being the tough, strict, yet overprotective and caring aunt.

I can already imagine Victor being such a great older brother to Jinx. Being the calm to Jinx's storm while joining her in her mad scientist and dr. Frankenstein state of mind. Jinx being an overprotective younger sister who would threaten Jayce if he broke her brother's heart while also being annoying to literally everyone and Victor being a big brother to Jinx when Ekko is around!

Little Isha loving both her older siblings and just her family in general. And them learning sign language for her!!!!! AHHH I LOVE IT! 😍😍😍

Sevika just being bothered by her nieces and nephew but loving them at the same time while Silco loves them all and is such a softie to his children

Great! Now I'm thinking of an au where Vander and Silco did raise Vi and Jinx together alongside Sevika as the aunt. Vander and Silco rebuilt Zaun together and became council members of Piltover, but they represented Zaun and the people of Zaun.

Sevika teaching Vi and Jinx how to fight with Vander. Sevika and Vi becoming close and becoming the gaurd dogs of the family. Silco adopting Victor and Jinx and Silco being proud of his mad scientist children and promising his seat of the council to his oldest son Victor (I'm delusional, don't judge me) and Vander promising his seat on the council to Vi. Silco adopting Isha and her being so close to Jinx and loving her big sister and Jinx, making her Vi the gauntlets Zaun style and her older brother Victor his leg brace so he wouldn't need his cane.

Ekko and his firelights becoming the fair police and security of Zaun since piltover soldiers hate them!

God! I'm already in love with this au! I hate myself.

ℐn a world where shadows dance with light, true strength lies not in brute power, but in the quiet resolve to nurture hope amidst chaos.
