"You know, I learned from someone very special... that no matter what happened in the past, it's never too late to build something new."

EKKO, THE BOY WHO SHATTERED TIME | ARCANE S02E09

[yannisdesk]

According to LeBlanc, Mel is “an empath”, a “conduit and a mirror.” She can bend others’ magic to her own will. This explains why she’s so powerful, because she’s basically redirecting other people’s energy against them. So when she’s up against a powerful opponent she can turn that power against them. In other words, Mel isn’t just using her own innate power.

It also explains why she seems to only use her magic defensively — her target has to strike first in order for Mel to redirect that attack back onto them. And it’s not just magical attacks either. When Maddie fired a bullet at Cait, Mel redirected it to kill Maddie.

In my opinion, this power suits Mel perfectly. It’s technically non-aggressive, and reflects Mel’s natural talent for identifying others’ strengths and using them to her advantage.

I just love that Vi and Jinx are both canonical manspreaders.

I'm willing to bet money that Jinx either started doing it from observing Vi, or even that Vi taught her how to do it when they were younger.

OMG 😭😭😭

That scene between Jinx and Vi in the prison cell is heartbreaking, but it illustrates her mentality at the time perfectly. Isha and Vander's death emotionally destroyed her. Jinx said in act 1 "everybody that gets close to me dies," and that line of thought was definitely heightened with Isha and Vander's ends. She thought that she could take care of Isha by hiding her in her den, and save Vander by taking him to Viktor to heal, but in the end she lost both. So of course, when Vi comes to reconcile, and says that she won't give up on her, it's deeply triggering because she's just witnessed two people she loved deeply die before her eyes trying to protect her. She literally thinks she's a jinx. So when Vi says "I'm never going to give up on you," all she hears is "I'm going to be the next in an ever-growing line of people you love that's going to die because of you." And she can't take that anymore. She draws the line there. She decides that she won't be the cause for Vi's end if she has any say in it. So she does the most gut-wrenching thing imaginable, and tells her to move on from her and go be happy with Caitlyn before running away. She thinks the last solid she can do for her sister is removing herself from the picture altogether because all she can foresee is Vi's death if she stays.

Jinx was always my second favorite character in Arcane, and I always said that she was the character I related to the most...but seeing her "death," it really hit me just how much she meant to me on an even deeper level.

EKKO AND JINX IN THE UNIVERSE WITHOUT HEXTECH | ARCANE S02E07

[yannisdesk]

OKAY LISTEN UP jinx is alive she made it out through the air vents/ air ducts of the hexgates

caitlyn realised that and that‘s why she’s smiling she knows jinx is okay

during the explosion you can see a pink line THAT IS JINX dashing away thanks to the shimmer in her veins

she decided it would be better to start over away from everything, riding the airship she always wanted to fly in

we’ll see her again i’m sure of it!

Ekko really got sent to the happiest AU. That AU put all happy AUs to shame. Heimerdinger was living his best life and so down to stay forever. Ekko could have stayed in the happiest AU.

But he came back to the shitty AU and ran directly to Jinx's side to save her from herself over and over.
