I decided to study Arcane characters to improve my understanding of facial features and different head angles.

This first sketch is of Silco.

Thinking about how tragic and selfish silco was that night he saved her on the bridge...

At its core it was a selfish decision, he wasnt ready to lose jinx despite her dying by her own hand. Of course silco didnt know that, but singed said it himself that "sometimes death is a mercy". He was right.

Jinx had wanted to die that night, and the process of keeping her alive was excruciatingly traumatic. (Which is why im shocked it wasnt brought up in season two or at the tea party scene).

Silco's love for jinx was undoubtedly genuine and real, thats his daughter goddammit, but theyre very codependent and traumabonded which does not make for a normal relationship.

Silco keeps jinx alive because hes not ready to lose her, he cant fathom a life without her. He needs her.

She was forced to endure immense pain and trauma against her wishes, as she was literally screaming and crying in pain for it to stop, but unfortunately silco was not ready to let go of her.

He was also unconscious, before he was knocked out his mind wasnt in the right place. I dont think he realised just how demanding of a procedure it would be, all he could think about was making sure jinx stayed alive.

"She wont die doctor. She cant"

"She cant" is just so interesting to me, he will not let her die. Even if she wants to, even if it means she will endure heartbreaking amounts of pain and trauma, even if it means her body will be ruined forever. He wont let her be lost to him.

RIP Marjane Satrapi, author of the amazing graphic novels Persepolis about living during the fundamentalist revolution in Iran in the 70’s and 80’s. She also created the animated movie based on the graphic novels, which is where these gifs come from.

Reblogging in honor of Marjane Satrapi, one of THE great graphic novelists. Her comic Persepolis was a crucial text for shaping my belief that comics can deeply explore identity, culture, politics, and history.

Silco's actions during S1 of Arcane obvs aren't justified, but I don't think I've seen anyone talk about how much the invention of the Hexgates royally fucked Zaun over from a trade perspective (in addition to the pollution it caused).

The Lanes' economy seems to be largely implied to be based off of smuggling and under-the-counter foreign trade. This would have been relatively easy when the ports were in Zaun. Zaun had the impoverished labor force to work the docks, and seems to have had more clear access to open ocean, so there were probably active trade routes that delivered goods to Piltover through Zaun. It wouldn't be difficult to intercept foreign merchants and negotiate bargains, trades, and exchange of goods without much interference from Piltover. Benzo's shop seems to mostly sell rare items from distant lands, if the hex crystals are anything to go by. Silco and Vander ran smuggling operations in their youth that likely relied heavily upon contact with those cargo vessels, and obviously Silco and the chem-barons were using it for the drug trade.

With the Hexgates, the shipyards would shut down. It would become basically impossible to import or export goods to or from Zaun without going through Piltover, which completely kneecaps the possibility of their every having an independent economy. Silco is able to access the Hexgates through his ties to Marcus, but they are still a massive blow to the entire operation of Zaun. When he says, regarding the Hexgates, "we've been cut off" he was absolutely correct.

It really makes me wonder. If Vander had lived, would he have perhaps taken up arms against Piltover when his community lost access to their income and resources? Did Jayce or even Viktor consider how profoundly this would negatively impact the people of Zaun? (I mean I know Jayce didn't, he's well intentioned but woefully ignorant of anything to do with Zaun but why didn't Viktor?). There's also the irony that the Hex crystals came through the very same route of commerce that they stole away from Zaun.

Much to consider.
