1x09, part 3.
I'm so sad for him. He would literally forgive her ANYTHING.
He's TERRIFIED at the idea of losing her. And he's so right, Vi can't bring back Powder. It was so obvious when Jinx lit a fire & Vi got a taste of what Jinx is like these days. Vi wouldn't be able to control her, nor would she be able to love her when she's like this. The problem is, it IS her nowadays. There is no Powder anymore. It's such a fucking tragedy that Silco dies.
Honestly, say it, Silco. V is into Caitlyn now way more than she is into Jinx. Actually, she's not into Jinx at all. Again, there is NO Powder. Every time Vi calls her that, I cringe. I can't stand that name, it's simply not her. Just like Silco says, "that girl does not exist anymore".
And it's only them, you see? And she's his daughter, you see? ;______; The way he loves her, help. ;___; The look he gives her. It doesn't fucking matter she kidnapped him and tied him up and gagged him, he doesn't fucking care, he only wants her and he wants her to stay with him. ;_____; All the walls around him fall apart for her sake. He's the most vulnerable with her.
"I'll never forsake you." The voice acting. The animation. I feel unwell.
Gods, he's so scared she will leave him. So confused about her dropping her gun.
He's like a caged animal when he grabs Jinx's gun. Vi only made it worse for Jinx. But yeah, just like Jinx said, it's up to Vi if she gets Jinx or Powder, and Vi's shouting and SIlco's death sealed the deal.
She really caresses behind his ear as he's bleeding out. Oh, the fucking tragedy. ;___;
"Don't cry. You're perfect." FUCK OFFFFF. The pain is real and I am feeling it. Like, no stills or gifs can truly makes you feel the same if you don't remember the tone of his voice, the feelings in his voice.
"I hope you know we had everything,
When you broke me and left these pieces."
Honestly, the difference between Jinx getting Vander killed and Jinx getting Silco killed is that Vi means it and she leaves her. Yes, they were kids, full stop. She gave into those emotions, though. For the moment, she hated Jinx & she meant it. She can never love Jinx.
Jinx kills Silco? He tells her not to cry. He tells her JINX is perfect. She kills him and yet, she's his entire word. "I'll never forsake you. <...> I never would have given you to them. Not for anything." and he MEANS it. As he bleeds out while she holds his face, he tells her not to cry and that she's PERFECT.
"'Cause I, I was meant to be yours."
Yeah, they can all burn, indeed.
V is so confused because how can her sister feel all those feelings for Silco? How can she cry for him? He's a monster, he deserved to die, didn't he? Yeah, she just doesn't understand. Fuck. (breaks down) I love Silco so much.
"Even though I'm different." That's exactly the problem. Vi can't love her as she is now. Silco could. He did.
I'm going to miss him so much.
I hope she doesn't die in s2 (or turns into something that's completely unrecognizable). I really fucking hope so. ;____; And man, Silco is so beautiful. Was? Anyway.
She's alive! My girl is alive! Maybe she'll take over the undercity without Silco? "What we could've been." right when they focus on her and Silco's empty chair. Gods. I'm hurting. The song at the end is absolutely perfect and I can't stop crying.
Oh, Ekko found himself a friend. Oh, what could've been, indeed. This is such a great alliance because Ekko is somewhat a scientist himself and he's open-minded and he has nothing to gain, so he gladly shares about his experience with Heimerdinger.
The animation is incredible. And Vi still chooses Caitlyn over Jinx. Like I said she would. :(
Even Viktor looks hopeful. Season 2, "Devastating"? "No one is going to be happy after watching it"? Oh, they're going to break me.

I love seeing people's blind reaction to Jinx and Silco's relationship and getting that really iffy feeling the first time they're together.
Because the story clearly states that it's only a father-daughter relationship! Absolutely nothing romantic/sexual ever occurs between them! But at the same time....the animators had to have known just how suspicious a lot of the scenes between them are.
Silco's never had a child that he cared deeply for, and Jinx never really had the chance to form a deep emotional bond with a parental figure (Vander certainly cared for her, but a father [who's also kinda a major crime boss] of four children can only do so much). Neither of them know how to express love like normal people, and it comes off as so abnormal to anyone who witnesses them. Sevika definitely has had an encounter of seeing the two of them in his office and just has to...slowly back out and pretend she didn't see anything.
It's awful. It's amazing. It's even so much better than if they actually did form a genuine romantical relationship. I love them so much. I'm glad they never got the chance to change.

When there’s an imbalance of power, age, status, when one character seems totally at the mercy of another, when it’s just not fair, it’s brutal, it’s vindictive.
When she’s trapped or kidnapped. When he projects his craving for vengeance onto her. When he locks her up out of questionable good intentions and likes it too much.
But then the power flips. He loses control. She snatches it all and he’s brought to his knees. Maybe he survives. Maybe he doesn’t. They probably don’t kiss but the tension is THICK.
Those are my comfort characters. Go you good things. Drive each other to terrible extremes or into each other’s arms. I’ll never get tired of this fictional dynamic.
