Jinx should have waged war on Piltover, just cos she was feeling bad and she felt like it, and it should have been so bad that Cait/Piltover get a propaganda machine going and expose everything saying that she intentionally/deliberately killed Silco, who successfully already made a peace deal and was gonna be a councilor of an independent Zaun, but Jinx doesn’t even care what they say about her and doesn’t engage with any of that and just keeps on doing her own thing (blowing stuff up).

Only for that to not work anyway cos nobody including Sevika believes she’d kill him, or that she’d fight topside so hard if they weren’t the ones who actually killed him and are lying, leading to her antics being admired and viewed as what it indeed is in a way, a payback for Piltover hurting her family, smth everyone in the Undercity can relate to, and/or that she’s doing it for the ideological reasons that are the basis of Silco’s organization that she was a part of, creating a basis for ppl interpreting her actions as revolutionary, even if that’s incorrect (at least initially) and leading to Sevika wanting to team up with her and having a change of heart when it comes to her bcos of her conviction that she’s innocent and is grieving Silco in a way that Sevika can respect. And so for the first time they see eye to eye and maybe get some kinda alliance going. Maybe they find common ground and leave past quarrels behind and start bonding a little, starting with zero.

Later on it could be so juicy if Jinx admitted the truth.

ok who else is out there taking silco’s side in the divorce

i am addicted. don’t even care if you love or hate vander, i’m surviving at the moment on silco au’s (including my own) where he gets the kids after the bridge disaster and white-knuckles it through. felicia’s his sister, maybe, and the girls are his nieces. or they’re just orphans he finds in the street. whatever. vander’s missing or gone, the Eye’s raising those kids alone, and no one expects this to end well.

but somehow it does. girldad supreme. always so gentle with them, releasing his venom on pilties and lickspittles and traitors. hell, let the guy still be high on shimmer and nuts from the river chemicals cooking his brain. waging war for the independence of zaun and its princesses. wouldn’t give his angry rebel daughters up for anything.

…and obviously i am being somewhat, uh, tolerant with the man’s later sins and cannot remember if we’re told if vander was in any way justified. (manipulation? politicking? favoring the cause over vander? “getting” felicia killed? take your pick.)

but first of all, vander himself says in his letter to silco that both their hands were dirty. so in which universe, even given a “justification,” does a professional brawler get to permanently maim his bird-boned partner, leave him quite literally for dead in the river pilt, then consider himself the good guy in that situation?

like. yikes, van. no one in power may be innocent, as reveck correctly states. but dear christ, dudes who “lose their mind” with rage upon the death of a loved one and nearly kill their wives… do not often win custody battles, my dude

So I wasn't at all expecting Sevika and Jinx to still stick together after Silco's death so I wonder whether it'll have something to do with that scene where Sevika talks about her dad. Cos that moment was always a bit confusing, like we're missing context. She hates Jinx and tells her awful things like that her dad is gonna get rid of her and that her sister replaced her and she seemingly tries to intentionally set Jinx off but then she seems to give Silco genuine advice about Jinx, I mean look at her

I think she's being completely sincere here, but then what's her ultimate goal here? is she 100% intent of getting rid of Jinx the first chance she gets or does she understand and feel for the relationship, even if only for Silco's sake? Is she feeling guilty cos she contributed to the situation with Jinx being worse now? Ignoring the whole revolution thing here, does she just like Silco on a personal level more than she hates Jinx? I can't tell-

Maybe this will come back if we'll learn more about Sevika's past in s2. Maybe if she had a complicated relationship with her dad who then died at some point then a situation like this would be a soft spot for her and so she decided to give Silco genuine advice against her better judgement. Maybe after Silco's death she'll actually empathize with Jinx herself for the first time and walk her somewhat through the grieving process. And I suspect that Jinx doesn't require a lot of kindness from others, I think just a little + the understanding that Sevika was always on Silco's side could be enough for Jinx to start putting more effort into working with Sevika more effectively and doing nice jinxie things for her like building Sevika an arm.

[sandraharissa]

After thinking about it a little here’s some of my predictions/thoughts about Jinx in s2:

1) Her and Sevika are deeply involved with the fighting/revolution efforts and maintain stuff like how Silco left them, but after reaching whatever outcome (likely they’ll successfully earn independence) both of them peace out, they have no interest in this kind of politics and after managing the chembarons for some time and getting rid of the ones that caused trouble they’ll reach some sort of equilibrium where the chembarons when left alone will largely just mind their business and continue getting rich and controlling their territories (with there not being any ‘bigger fish’ to take over so nobody ever succeeds Silco’s role). In that way we’d reach the status quo we see in Zaun in LoL.

2)

The whole time she might look and be like this. Possibly going on feral like this for months on end. That’d really convey the state she’s in. For her to be in this paranoid/feral/survival mode cos she destroyed everything dear to her and Vi is hunting her. I imagine her looking like this even in more casual interactions with Sevika. Consumed by rage and revenge and hatred and throwing herself all into the revolutionary efforts to cope with grief for Silco and the whole situation with Vi. Especially now that it’s obvious that she’s working with enforcers, including Cait, to catch her and nothing else, the thing Jinx was worried was happening in s1.

That’d also potentially be interesting to see the contrast between how she’s perceived (the mural) and how she actually is in real life. The symbol of hope vs feral rabbit.

3)

She does this thing again that she tried in the finale. Idk if at this point she’s at all hoping for reconciliation, likely not. But she still wants so badly for Vi to understand her so she adorned the walls with the most impactful moments of her life and how they pertain to Vi. One last attempt to make Vi understand. That maybe after Vi sees a highlight reel of Jinx’s life she’ll put it all together and see it how Jinx sees it.

I'm gonna go ahead and say this guy

is up to smth. maybe it's a power grab after Silco's death or maybe he's working with Piltover/Ambessa, but he's not one of the ppl still loyal to Silco.

That'd be Sevika and Jinx teaming up (finally!!!)

[sandraharissa]

Singed is one of the funniest mf around. He sedated Silco for Jinx’s operation but he didn’t sedate Jinx asdfghj

Jinx: *cackling in the background as a building blows up*

Silco: atta girl.

Sevika: ...that was one of your factories.
