Thorki confirmed.

Thor and Loki are so obvious it hurts ❤️

I don’t know why no one talks about this, but in addition to the tattoo, Thor has a love lock with Loki’s hair again 🥲

Is it just me? Or was he absolutely ethereal looking in this scene?

Something about how he looked made me think "He's so...beautiful it hurts"

My first Pilco edit. Yes this is a Powder/Silco ship edit. I used to dislike the ship but now I’m shipping it lol. To think it took one fanfic to change my mind.

[silcojinx]

As I finished watching Arcane once again, I once again broke my heart over Silco's death scene... How did they achieve that, that every time is like the first time? Bloody sadists... love them.

Okay. This is going to be a lot of letters...

This scene...   It's beautiful from the beginning.

When I watched it the first time and when I heard Jinx's words to Vi, I even believed that she was saying it sincerely, which surprised me... 

I was surprised at the spontaneity of her feelings for her sister. I thought to myself,  "Why are you saying this? After all, she left you, and not once, Silco was the one who was always there for you, always believed in you. Why?" and only then did I begin to realize that it was a performance for Vi, to make her believe that her beloved Powder had shown herself into the light after all, as she had wanted.

That it was only a performance was hinted at by Jinx's abrupt change in behavior, as if a switch had been tripped.

"Are we still sisters?"

"Nothing will ever change that."

And it's time to put those words to the test....

And then there's the dish scene. At first this scene seems humorous, but in fact, it's a test for Vi, which she unfortunately (luckily?) failed.

She really expected to see Caitlyn's head there, she expected this kind of atrocity from her sister.... As if from a mad monster.

"I'm not that crazy ..." but Vi thinks she's crazy enough to do something like that.

"You'll be with her a day before she realizes you aren't that girl anymore and turns her back on you.

Silco's words could easily be seen by many as a simple attempt to manipulate Jinx's feelings, and besides, he's already so conveniently labeled as an "Evil Manipulator". But I don't think so...

Over the course of the series, we've been shown more than once that Vi... is not very reliable, to say the least.

"You're aren't lying? You wouldn't lie to me. Not again."

It's been there somewhere... right?

"She wouldn't do that. Not again."

And we all remember what happened then...

"I'm not lying. I'm on your side. I promise."

And that's why she gave her name to the Council without delay, hoping for.... what? That they'd get rid of Silco and they'd let her have Jinx in peace? How stupid is that.

Is that why she left her on the bridge to die?

That's why she lies about sitting in jail dreaming of going back to her, even though she told Caitlyn earlier in episode 6 that she was sure Powder was dead. Who did you want to go back to, then? Okay, maybe it's just an irrational desire to go back...

Unlike Silco, who, for the entire show, has exhibited exactly the opposite behavior one would expect from him.

And the beauty of that behavior is that it's not thrown in the viewer's face, it's barely noticeable in most moments, but it's there... Just notice how twitchy he gets when someone speaks bad of Jinx. It's barely noticeable on his face, but it's there. (That's something I'd give a separate post to.)

I believe Silco's words are based on what he saw and what he felt himself. He saw how, because of Vi, Jinx almost died in his arms, and he knows the pain of being rejected.

Vander.

Recalls the scene at the end of episode 3.

"I knew you still had it in you."

This is a phrase that can be understood in two ways and the first time I misunderstood it. At first I thought the phrase meant that Vander was still willing to fight, but then...

I realized that the phrase was more about Vander not changing in a good way, but he stayed the same... He grabbed Silco again and started choking him again.

It was a refusal. Vander refused to understand Silco, just as he had on the day of the betrayal.

Remember Silco's face when Vander grabbed him. Amazement, maybe even fear... again? In spite of his words that Vander was not forgive himself for what he did to Silco... he does it again.

Only when Vander's fingers clench, does Silco grin angrily. Yes, it happens again, and Silco kills Vander, there could be no other outcome, the other outcome has been rejected.

Now the phrase "I knew you still had it in you" has taken on a different color, after realizing that...

Let's go back to the table.

Silco knew the pain of betrayal, knew the pain of rejection, and tried with all his might to spare Jinx that pain. He knew that Vi would reject her just as Vander rejected Silco. That's why he was telling Jinx all this, he didn't want her to go through the same thing he did.

Did Jinx believe him? Did she understand him? I think she did, because in the next scene, when Caitlin gets up and points her gun at Jinx, she steps back to Silco and puts her gun down next to him. Why would she do that? She could have put it exactly where she stood. Maybe she was giving him a chance to grab it if something went wrong... and unfortunately, it went wrong...

Now let's move on to the moment when this awful Jinx nightmare scene begins.

The scene itself and what's going on perfectly demonstrates Vi's attitude toward her sister and the fact that Jinx and Powder are two different people to her, not realizing that by doing so, she's ruining her sister's life.

She shouts the words to make Jinx remember, but unfortunately, Jinx didn't forget, just started to, but Vi didn't let that happen.

She is surrounded by monsters again. She asks Vi to stop, but she just ignores her and keeps going. Even as Jinx literally breaks down and falls to the floor huddled like a child in a corner, Vi continues to scream.

She could see visually that what was happening to her sister was not normal, that she was in pain. But somehow Vi doesn't let that stop her.... She will bring Powder back, even if it means completely destroying her sister's already sick mind.

I understand that Vi is just clinging to the past, but that in no way justifies her in this scene.

It's like taking a grown man, breaking all his bones and expecting them to heal the way you want them to, but in reality you just end up with an disabled. Vi is essentially doing the same thing just on a psychological level.

I can only imagine how unbearable it was for Silco to watch what was happening to Jinx, all the things he was trying to save her from....

It's important to note that in this scene Silco is not trying to get Jinx on his side, he just asked her not to listen, knowing that his daughter would be hurt. He didn't yell, knowing that it wouldn't help Jinx, he tried to get out and protect her.

The look in his eyes as he gripped the weapon was full of desperate madness, an almost animalistic desperation to protect what he loved.

The actual scene of the gunshot, which finally silenced Vi.

Many people say it was Powder who fired the shot, though I don't agree with that at all, nor do I agree with the way people like Vi share Jinx and Powder as two different people.

Powder is thought to have shot Silco to protect her sister, but I insisted and will insist that Jinx did it instinctively reacting to the sound, we are, after all, accentuated visually and audibly by the way the gun in Silco's hand is triggered for a reason.

She was in a completely inadequate state, surrounded by her own horrors, and reacted instinctively to possible danger. After all, if she had deliberately shot at Silco, why didn't she realize at once who she had hit, even though she was looking directly in his direction?

Only when the glimmer of light fades in her eyes, then, does she realize what she has done. There is no Powder, it is always one person.

And finally that scene...

Silco's death is probably one of the strongest moments in the series, at least for me. The final scene kills me every time I rewatch Arcane, but especially... Jinx kills me. Her face and eyes at the moment of Silco's death, it's something devastatingly beautiful.

That brief moment when she holds his face in her hands, hears one last tender goodbye and pleads not to cry, for she is beautiful... his eyes close. And then his head begins to slowly bow down under the weight of the shadow of death...

And at that moment Jinx tilts her head toward him, her eyes expectant, even childlike disbelief that all this is really happening, it can't be true, can it? He will never leave her...

This gesture on her part looks so natural, as if they had already done it so many times, touched each other's foreheads to make sure that all is well with them...

But then she touches him and realizes that it's over... In that moment, the childish naive hope shatters in her eyes, giving way to pain and the realization that she has lost him forever. No more kind words, no more gentle touches. The end.

This simple and obvious gesture, which, for some reason, I didn't immediately notice, it just shatters me... there's too much in it, it doesn't even need words. That's why I love Arcane so much...

I hope Vi realizes that she deprived Jinx of her future because she so stubbornly and selfishly clung to the past...

Like I said, I understand why this is happening, but it doesn't excuse her. Breaking her sister's life twice.... is too much.

SILCO

The Boy Savior, Part I

Bonus:

[silcojinx]

Jinx, Silco

[silcojinx]

I still see a lot of derogatory comments about Silco manipulating Jinx in order to use her skills to his advantage. "He may love her but he's using her!", to sum it up. On the other side, you usually have reviewers going along the lines of "He may be using her, but he loves her."

Somehow, the fact that she works for him cast doubts on the genuineness of their attachment.

Consider this instead: "He loves her SO he is using her."

Imagine how Powder must have felt the night Vi abandoned her.

"You're a jinx."

"You're not ready."

"She jinxes every job."

"Every time she comes, something goes wrong."

"I always ruin everything."

Contrast that with the absolute faith Silco demonstrates towards her capabilities.

"Jinx will take care of this." (Why, don't the chembarons look sick of this one.)

"But Jinx... she is more than I could have ever imagined."

"You're the only one I can trust with this, Jinx."

And that's with her probably botching up just as often as she succeeds in her missions, judging by Sevika's general opinion of her.

Silco loves Jinx, SO he gives her one thing that she never got in the past: recognition, trust, counting on and making use of her skills and abilities. Therefore, it's no wonder that, among other things, "He's using her, so she loves him."

i love silco. i don't give a fuck about people saying he gaslighted powder for years. in my point of view, he was giving her HIS side of the storie ,not gaslighting her to believe in something.

ARCANE AND THE DIFFERENT WAYS OF DEALING WITH TRAUMA:

RUNNING

This is the way Vi deals with her trauma of losing everyone close to her not once but twice and it makes sense. After all why get close if it will all end in the only thing she has ever known...tradgedy. She also has problems taking responsibility avoiding the subject and running from the things she's done.

ANGER

Jinx has constant reminders of the things she's done in the form of paranoia and mental breakdowns. She often lashes out at anyone and anything else when she doesnt know who to blame. She blames herself deep down and takes it out on everyone else.

EMBRACING

Surrounding yourself with your trauma in attempt to 'overcome' it. Silco thinks the best way to deal with what's happened to him is to stop the fear. If you own your fear then nothing can stand in your way.

( his lab is literally underwater)

CHANNELING

Mel channels her anxieties and experiences through her art. Calmly detailing the images of what she experienced through her art is healing to be sure but it also keeps her grounded in reality. It's also a physical reminder of things that have been so they will never happen again.

So here's a fucked up theory....

Remember how Singe said "I too once had a daughter"

What if his daughter was his "mutation"

Imagine, he has a daughter dying of some sickness or fatal wound. He desperately uses shimmer thinking it would help and all it does is mutate her into something unrecognizable. This would explain why he later tells Silco....

"sometimes death is a mercy"

He fought for so long to keep her alive even after the mutation and in the end realized it was only hurting her.

Thinking about how Vander tried to strangle Silco not once but twice. Strangulation is a display of power. When someone tries to strangle another person they don't do it to kill...they do it to show they CAN kill. It's sad but I think Vander knew he was bigger and stronger and that Silco was afraid of him. He wanted to keep Silco in his place.

Sorry not sorry I don't like Vander and this is very telling about his personality. He's one who likes to be in control no matter the cost...

So did no one ever question:

1. How Jinx came to know about 'baby makers'

2. Why she blew into SILCOS eye injector as she talked about a 'baby maker'

3. Why this didn't phase Silco....
