#I want to throw her in a McDonald’s play scape and see if she establishes dominance or gets stuck in the net

Favorite character dynamic is 30+ year old badass who has serious beef with a kid that weighs 90lbs soaking wet.

I realize this is probably obvious to anybody who’s thought about it for more than 5 seconds but oh my gosh I just realized the parallels between the end of Act I and the end of Act III.
The same ultimatum. If Vander turns over the criminals (his children, his daughter) he and his people are safe (as long as the topsiders who won’t forgive at least forget the Undercity’s trespasses). If Silco turns over the criminal (his child, his daughter) he and his people are safe (as long as the topsiders who won’t forget at least forgive Zaun’s trespasses).
The inverse responses to the ultimatum. Vi was going to turn herself in for the greater good (and Vander would refuse to reap what he had sown, would never let her do that, even unto his own death and the loss of the greater good). Jinx was not going to turn herself in for Zaun (and Silco would reap what he had sown, he wouldn’t give her up for, even unto his own death and the loss of the greater good).
Selflessness and selfishness and selfishness and selflessness. Borne out of love of the individual or hate of the institution that demanded blood.
There is nothing as undoing as a daughter.

I love that if you go to the "i want to throw her in a Mcdonald playpen and see if she establishes dominance or gets stuck in the net" tag you can just see all of your posts about Jinx, its delightful
!!! :D yup that’s the idea!

The level of detail in Arcane drives me insane. Rewatched the first episode the other day and just realized the little clamp mechanism Powder finds in the trash (just before Vander and Claggor leave for Benzo’s) is pretty much the exact same mechanism all of her future bombs use as ‘teeth’

Arcane gif and art makers enjoy my archive tag for Jinx. I’m going to get a good grade in reblogging. Something that is normal to want and possible to achieve.

Thinking about the Mel and Jinx parallels this evening.
#ra speaks#personal#arcane#mel medarda#jinx#sorry mutuals you know the hyperfixation is real when I start making original posts abt it#anyways character tags so I can find this 14 months from now when I’m rewatching the series and I know I’m right abt this#a gilded angel#I want to throw her in a McDonald’s play scape and see if she establishes dominance or gets stuck in the net#just like. hmmm.#political parent who’s no stranger to war and violence trying to impart what they consider wisdom to their daughters#how Mel rejected this and as a result ambessa rejected her (even if she had her own motivations for banishing her daughter ie. it hurt her#to see her daughter struggle w the bloodshed that came w her responsibility)#how jinx embraced this to the point of being a danger to silco’s own power (both in directly interfering with his political ties ie.#the enforcers and indirerectly ie. making others see her as a liability/weakness of his bc of his reluctance to control her#how he largely disregards this threat her actions pose bc he fully accepts her and will not reject her#thinking about Mel unambiguously supporting peace and freedom for the undercity in the final episode directly in conflict w her mother’s#plans to instigate conflict for her own gains#versus jinx literally pulling the trigger on a full blown violent conflict (also against her parent’s wishes to my understanding)#Mel’s mother surviving her daughter in part bc Silco didn’t survive his daughter#jinx thought vi had been dead but she wasn’t Mel didn’t know her brother was dead when he was#I just. I feel like there’s an underappreciated link between these two characters who never interact except when one of them kills the other#ALSO ADDITION 7/12/22 their character arcs have the same question answered in the final episode (identity - Mel taking off the medarda ring#jinx sitting in the jinx chair)#this show drives me fucking insane

I’ve been watching Arcane and Powder is just a poor little meow meow and Vi is so hot and Vincent is such a mood and it’s worth the 40 minutes of physically strangling my ADHD to watch one episode because the animation is so drop dead gorgeous.
