#vi vs jinx

[backstabber128]

Here's some sketches of a random crack Arcane x God of War + Ragnarok AU bc of these ideas-- (Also bc the Norse mythology style is absolutely awesome 👀)

I couldn't resist imagining what little Vi & Pow would look like as mini gods with their adult tattoos like Atreus. Also me being delusional imagining Warwick protecting them as part of Vander's shape shifting ability--

Also headcanon that Odin/Silco has mind control powers, hence Vi and Powder vs Warwick rip. He tears their family apart even in this AU 🫠

+ Jinx gaining Baldur-like abilities through becoming Silco's daughter

IM LOOSING MY MIND—

[greasedglizzy]

Yall actually think Vi is 100% Anti-jinx???

I thought her hesitating the entire episode and telling Cait to "take the shot" was basically giving away she is unable to actually kill jinx.

I'm quite sure her little speech was more for herself than it was for jinx. Trying to convince herself the lies she's announcing as her true feelings.

Not just that but she was pulling her punches the ENTIRE fight.

And then the one way out of seeing her sister's death was Isha's interference.

Immediately blew off Cait's shot cuz of harming the innocent. But also being given an immediate out from the fight. Using a reliable interference as a cover to not wanting to watch her sister die fr.

(Though im not saying it wasn't cuz Isha's an undercity kid, that def plays an important part. Jinx's eyes light up at seeing Vi stop Cait's shot.)

they're really going for the "everyone going to be a little bit opposite of who they were in s1" theme in season 2 fr

New shot from Arcane! This is incredible!

[revelisms]

Lil' comic of a scene from a fic I haven't gotten around to writing.

(basically Vi and Jinx have reconciled, Silco is alive, and Vi is begrudingly finding herself beginning to look up Silco as a mentor/father figure. She accompanies him on an errand run, one of which winds them up at the old cannery, and emotions bubble up biiig time 🥲)

i am correct. thank you!

[chronicsyd]

so i have mentioned the whole "Ella Purnell (Jinx's VA) crying doing lines for Jinx" and how a lot of people think it's possibly a Jinx death or something and I previously said I didn't think so, but another thought crossed through my head that's just as traumatic and could possibly (no, Probably) lead to tears:

Vi inevitably choosing Caitlyn over Jinx in S2.

First hear me out, of Course i know that it doesn't Have to be this way; Vi clearly has enough love in her heart to love the two equally. but Jinx and the show choose to show this Vi, Jinx, Caitlyn dynamic as a uhhh... "Unconventional Love Triangle" to put it simply. Sevika puts the thought of "Vi replacing Jinx" early on and because of Jinx's trauma she chooses to believe that this Is true. However, the actions she takes in the show actually has the opposite effect of what she wants, pushing Caitlyn and Vi closer together.

So when it comes to episode 9, Jinx feels that VI is the one who must choose between the two. It's either Jinx, or Caitlyn. And by choosing to not take action at all, Jinx believes that her fears are confirmed and that Vi is choosing Caitlyn over her. now we know that this isn't true because even after Caitlyn frees herself and both the blue girls have each other at gun point, Vi is the one desperately trying to get Caitlyn to Not shoot Jinx, despite the other not seeing what Vi sees. Caitlyn does Not see Powder in Jinx (in fact i don't think she really ever has, but she knows that family is important to Vi which is why she doesn't say anything on the bridge when the two part ways for the first time). But it's Especially why she says to Vi, "She's too far gone".

Unfortunately, with the way that i think things are going in S2, the beginning i think Vi is still going to try to go after Powder, despite us knowing that Powder practically died in episode 9 (I also think that she's also dealing with the guilt that Cassandra's death specifically (because she probably doesn't really care as much about the others but she cares about Caitlyn and Caitlyn losing her mother is going to be Rough) is at Jinx's hands and she still holds Vander's "Whatever happens, it's on you" to heart despite it not being true), meanwhile Caitlyn feels that a solo "Caitlyn V Jinx" mission is going to end up with one of them dead, and she knows that either outcome is going to be terrible for Vi (because as i said before, Caitlyn no longer see's Powder, she see's Jinx and Jinx is a threat). And I think that actions from Both Jinx and Caitlyn are going to Force Vi's hand to Make A Choice.

and i think that come end of S2, she is going to side with Caitlyn.

(Of course i could be Totally wrong with this, but of all things I've said about S2 so far this is actually one of the things I'm sadly, more confident about)

i always read the tags on my posts and an aspect of arcane that a few people seem to be missing is that they want you to think for yourself. an explicitly stated goal of the writers is to start a conversation and get people thinking about the moral implications of their characters' actions. you can still side with jinx. you can still side with zaun. it's fine. all the oppression didn't go away just because they humanised piltover, because humanity is still capable of cruelty and neglect, and the council no longer being a faceless enemy doesn't change that. if anything it makes it more real. that's why jinx is doing what she's doing. they have not inherently condemned fighting back and at this point i seriously doubt that they will. i say the following with all gentleness and sincerity: you have a brain and you are free to use it. this is not the kind of show to spoonfeed you moral lessons. please please please exercise the freedom to make up your own mind
