The #sugarisnotacondiment AU is pretty much a modern one and I was like... The chances that Powder is just nickname are very high, so I came up with the idea that Felicia and Connol wanted to name their kid after his grandma, or something. 🤣✌️

How the show treated Vi and Jinx's dads

[riza-hawks-eye]

Fortiche Studios on Jinx and Vi's Mother: Beloved friend and a great inspiration to Silco and Vander, a ray of sunshine, a revolutionary and a mother. Mourned and remembered by all.

Fortiche Studios on Jinx and Vi's Father: idk, he was a miner I guess.

Slight spoilers: meta and speculation about the names of Jinx and Vi's birth family members

(I wrote this up in a comment on my secondary reddit account a little while ago, so I didn't steal it)

:read more:

The name of Jinx and Vi's mother is Felicia. Felicia's name stems from a Latin word that means "lucky." (Sooo the exact opposite of Jinx, in terms of literal meaning).

Connol- the briefly mentioned birth father- is an Irish Gaelic name that means "strong as a wolf," deriving from parts that mean "wolf," "hound," and "valour."

Very interesting, given Vander's association with hounds and wolves *cough cough*

Meanwhile, Vander stems from the Greek *evander,* which means "good man." Warwick is an Old English/Anglo-Saxon name that means "farm; buildings by the weir." Weir is an old term for a dam or a barrier built across a river to raise water upstream, regulate its flow, or catch fish. An appropriate name for the man who was once responsible for the unsteady peace between Piltover and Zaun way back in Act 1 of Season One.

Silco is the only name that doesn't have a true meaning that pops up on Google; broken down to its roots, it might take from words that mean "of the forest," as a derivative of the Latin "Silvio." It could be different spelling of the African name "Silko," which means "silk," and mightve been the name of an ancient Nubian king. It could even be a mix of the words "silk," (as in, the fibre produced by larvae to form cocoons, or "Silk Road," as the garment and trading currency) and "Co," as in "company" (since he produced Shimmer like a capitalist and brought great wealth for the chembarons).

Now onto the sisters!

As a proper Latin root word, Vi means "with force; violently." It can also be interpreted as the Roman Numeral 6. The name "Violet" originates from the Latin word viola (which happens to share its name with an overlooked instrument in the string family), but is Old English in proper form, and means "purple flower; steadfast."

The word Jinx is derived comes from the Greek/Latin word "iunx," their name for the wryneck bird- a bird associated with sorcery, and "jyng," an Old English word that means "a spell." It's meant bad luck since the mid to late 19th century.

Me, internally: "Wow, the writers at Riot and Fortiche really cooked with this one! How insightful!"

Me, externally" *sobs*
