One thing about Arcane that never sits right with me is Silco's hatred for Vi.
No, because Silco's beef with Vi will never not be funny to me. it's a thing that i think about constantly, and that keeps me up at night crying laughing.
This grown as man who was probably in his late 30s, almost hitting 40s , had some inhumane breeded hatred for his 13-15 neice. A type of hatred that can never be described and explained by any cientist in existence. I will never understand why he hated that child that much. Mind you , he specifically made a promise with his nieces mother, well she was pregnant with her, to take care of her until his last breath. he took that promise and stomped on that shit and then disintegrated it with acid created with straight shimmer. That man made sure to try to get that girl killed until his last breath , until he had to stop moving the gun that he had aimed at her head.
I get that he hated her because she was Vander's prodigy. she would’ve been the one to run zaun after vanders passing and Inherit the last drop, if he hadn't stopped that from happening. Not only that but, she and her siblings were the reason why Vander stopped trying to get a better zaun, because he knew that if they tried, it would end up get the people he loved killed, again. I get all of that, but, like...... Silco hated her fucking gut so much that it's actually ridiculous
He hated her and her siblings so much that he was ready to kill some kids. He was so ready to become the next william afton because of his neices existence. Like Vi was just trying to exist and live her life and that man wanted her six feet underneath that fucking river. He tried to make her life a living nightmare and make her miserable , for absolutely no reason. Like imagen your uncle being your number one and first ever hater. Like what the fuck did that girl ever do to him. did she bite his hand when she was a baby or something, and he took that shit personally.
No because the only thing I can think off, is that one audio that goes something like this: "what did he, do to make a 🥷🏾 that maaaad"
Like what did vi do to make silco that mad.
No, not only was he menace that wanted her dead, he was a fucking coward as well. That man made grown ass adults, try to kill this 13-15 child, let me repeat that again, he wanted grown ass adults that worked under him to kill this 13-15 CHILD, a literally CHILD who was practically his NIECE. that man was such a coward he couldn't do it himself. This lazy fuck just stood there and wacht those adults in question get beaten up by this child. He was such a coward he made another child take a drug that would make him into a monster like creature to beat vi to death. And the funniest thing about all of this is the fact that his murder attempts on his neice failed. IT FUCKING FAILED, mind you this attempt will bite him in the ass 7 years later.
Vi gets drugged by a cop ( don't trust cops people) and gets sent to one off the most cold and dark places I'm stillwater because of a crime that she didn't commit, the crime being the death of the old sheriff ( and stealing hexteck crystals). This crime was committed by her uncle silco, who also knows that she got drugged by the cop, and he thinkings that the cop in question that he works with, would kill her. He didn't, because for some reason he felt some kind of pity for the girl and lied to silco about her being dead.
All of this is important people, stay with me.
Well, she is in prison she started to ask about her sister powder, but instead, people out her trying to give her cocaïne. She sees one of the guys who tried to kill her so many years ago and immediately tried to get her lick back.
7 years pass, she gets out of prison, and immediately starts swinging. She starts fighting anyone and everyone. she said her hands were rated E for everybody . It's so bad that people think she is crazy. To the people of zaun, vanders prodigy came back from the dead and started beating anyone in her path. No one know who her target is, so to them this crazy bitch is out her going ham on anybody who looks at her funny. She goes to sevika and kicks her in the face and starts a fight at the last drop. The fight ends by Vi getting her ass saved by caitlyn and sevika running of to silco to tell him the news of vi.
Silco gets the news of her being back from the dead and acts like the devil was coming to claim his unfitt soul. That man knew she was out to get him. he knew that he was screwed, so he was trembling in his boots, planning his second murder attempts on his neice.
He finds her, she is wound and he again grabs his workers to do his dirty work for him, that is killing vi. he starts his evil vilain monologue, and Vi doesn’t wanna hear his bullshit and decides that it was enough. She breaks the sign that they were all under, and it falls on silco and his workers. He has again failed to kill her for the second time. He is pissed because that girl has some insane plot armour. God knows that he was ready to commit a homicide at that exact moment.
His hatred for that girl grew every second she breathes air and that man can never rest in peace knowing that she's alive and kicking his man. So he tries to kill her one last time. third time is the charm, they say.
Jinx kidnapps vi, caitlyn and silco and basically tries to have a fucked up family dinner. Mind you this is caitlyn first time meeting the extended family, the only person that's missing at this dinner party is ekko. Ekko basically dodged a bullet, but got hit by bomb instead. Anyway, moving on. Vi is doesn’t know what the fuck is going on , caitlyn is mortified and silco is pissed off that he has to be in the same room as vi. basically caitlyn gets knocked out by jinx after trying to stop jinx insanity, vi is triggering jinx episodes and silco sees the gun that jinx left on the table.
Silcos first motherfucking instincts is not to calm down his adoptive daughter, but yes to aim that goddamn gun at vi's head. The moment he got that gun he was ready to finish the job he never was able to finish all those years ago. That mans hatred for that girl defice all logic, and only his primal instinct that is 'killing that child', kicks in .
7 year, 7 fucking years pass and he still has the underlying hatred for his neice that can never be replicated, not even by caitlyn. not even caitlyn can have the amount hate for a person (jinx), like silco has for vi. That man thrives by hate and hate alone.
With all the things that he could do with that gun, like for exemplo shoot it at the Ceiling to get Vi and jinx attention to stop them for talking. But, noooo, He choice to aim it at vi instead. And that shit got him killed. Karma came quickly this time. Imagem trying to kill a girl 3 fuck times and ends up getting killed by that girls sister, the same girl you see as a daughter.
The fact that every attempt on vi's life fails, will never not be fucking hilarious to me. That man hated her so much but was never able to kill her is never not fun. I'm sorry but it is.
I know his last thought was probably: " that fucking bitch"
God forbid man have hobbies of attempting to kill his neice
I don't care what anybody says, vi hatred for silco is justified. It is, it really is. Ekko and vi are silcos number one haters, and I will always defend those two for hating silco.
No, but you know who I also feel bad for, It's Ekko. Because imagine having to live with the fact of knowing that in an alternative universe, your father in law is the man you hate more than anything in life.
The same man who got your father figure killed and ribbed to shreds, the same man who got your two friends killed, the same man who is the reason why Vi got placed in prison. the same man who killed vander, the same man that let a super siram type drugs infest the community, the same man who let's child exploitation happen under his guidance, the same man who lets the the community die from hunger. And last but not least, the same man who caused your cruch powders insanity. that eventually makes her jinx, the most well-known terrorist in zaun and piltover. The reason why you and the only person you know that is left alive became enemies
I just know that when our version of ekko realised that silco was his father in law in that alternative universe , he was angry as fuck and I don't blame him. Because like , how the fuck do you move on in life knowing the fact that the man that made your life a living hell, is your father in law. Like this is funnier than knowing that caitlyn and jinx are sisters in law. Like damn, I just know that when ekko found out that silco was dead he was happy ass hell, he was the happiest motherfucker alive and he is never going to tell jinx that. Like ekko was praying for that mens down fall on day one.
What makes me laugh is the fact that the moment ekko saw silco in the AU, he immediately went to talk shit. He immediately told him his thoughts. Like he had no hesitation and no regrets, he really didn't give a fuck. Like his first word to him was "didn't you try to kill him". Like ekko is a fucking menace. He really doesn't hold back, he basically said "fuck you" to him in every way possible.
No, because if silco doesn't have any haters, it means that ekko and vi are dead. I wish ekko and vi interacted more because I really wanted to see them talk straight shit about silco. I wanted to see them tag team silco so badly. Like that would have been hilarious.
