#Jinx is the best character

[cemeterything]

a common theme in a lot of media is a character insisting "i'm not crazy" and eventually being proven right. but to be honest? i wish we had more characters who are canonically "crazy" without it being a bad thing or condemnation. characters who struggle with psychotic symptoms like delusions and hallucinations. characters who are unreliable narrators because they're not always sure what's real and what's in their head. characters who need help and support from their friends and loved ones to maintain their grip on reality and stay safe sometimes. psychotic characters who aren't just one-dimensional caricatures or harmful stereotypes but fully fleshed out, developed people with satisfying arcs and meaningful relationships. just more well written canon psychotic characters.

#🐉 #like there are a few good ones out there (jinx arcane my beloved) but #the majority of canon psychotic characters arent very well written and #there just arent many. i have to headcanon most of them. #and i know that people whove never experienced psychosis can struggle to write psychotic characters who arent harmful representation #but if nobody ever tries nobody ever will. id rather people tried their best than didnt bother at all. #ALSO HARROWHARK NONAGESIMUS I CANT BELIEVE I FORGOT YOU BABYGIRL

I think people misunderstood my macaque post

Ah well you win some you lose some

#people saying ‘the sun cant exist without the moon’ #yes it can? #it just wouldnt shine #we wouldnt see it #thats why macaque is flawed from the start - you have him DEPEND on the sun to make any progress #with his character #moon and sun symbolisms are great but when you take it away #sun wukong is still SUN WUKONG but macaque is nobody without wukong and thats saying smthing #and i can give you so many examples of characters who have stories without relying on their childhood best friends #like jinx from arcane or marceline from adventure time #sometimes you can make it work if the story is about both of them #but the story has ALWAYS been about wukong never macaque #even macaque’s dialogue and actions and drives are all connected to wukong #and thats a little sad ngl #comeback kid #think pan

I’ve seen somebody call the dynamic between Cait, Vi and Jinx a love triangle and they praised arcane for utilizing it in a unique way that doesn’t solely involve romantic love. And I completely agree, but the thing is is that arcane did it so much that those love triangles are all over the place. It really is such a unique concept to apply this kind of dynamic to platonic relationships cos typically ppl don’t think of platonic bonds as exclusive, so how would the conflict of two relationships that are inherently in opposition to each other even work in that case? and yet, when arcane figured out how to do it they went all in.

Firstly and most speculatively we have Silco, Vander and Benzo. Vander and Benzo seem like best friends and Silco and Vander were ‘brothers’ but I get the vibe that Silco and Benzo never got along and there was no love lost there. They just purely dislike each other from what we’ve seen and it seems like the only reason they’d hang out is cos of both of their connections to Vander. If there was a deeper character choice there for Vander to make when choosing between the two that is not explored in arcane.

Then there’s Sevika, Silco and Jinx, and again, Sevika and Jinx are the two closest ppl to Silco and the only ones he seems to have any sentimental feelings towards, and yet Sevika and Jinx can’t stand each other, likely only hang out in each other’s vicinity bcos of Silco and would murder each other if they could. Again, there’s no love there and it’s almost like a competition for Silco’s favor. Sevika also represents his devotion to his dream and Jinx his devotion to her, his family.

And then there’s Silco, Jinx and Vi. With the two characters being the two closest bonds Jinx ever had and both being her care-takers. The two are in competition with each other over Jinx and are actively trying to kill each other. They represent the mutually exclusive options of morality/sanity and immorality/madness.

Then there’s the aforementioned Jinx, Vi and Cait. With yet again, the two being the absolute closest ppl to Vi in the world and yet themselves being mortal enemies to each other who’d kill each other if they were left together in a room. If I were to give these characters their thing then I think it’d be Cait representing morality, a future that Vi could have, hope and a healthy relationship where Jinx represents immorality, the past, guilt and a toxic relationship. Altho the finale and Jinx leaving wasn’t really a choice Vi was making between the two. And notice how so far it’s the first example of a romantic relationship being a part of these love triangles.

And lastly a shout-out to our Piltover characters with Mel, Jayce and Viktor being portrayed as tho the romance gets in the way of Jayce and Viktor’s friendship and vice versa. Altho so far it’s subtle cos shit hasn’t hit the fan yet.

I could be missing one but just the examples I already listed are so many, and they cover most main characters and all the most crucial players. Thinking about it, if they hadn’t cut out the Ekko flashback I’d probs be able to add Ekko, Jinx and Silco to the list. (Maybe even Mylo, Vi and Powder count, if Vi agrees with Mylo then Powder’s a jinx, if she protects Powder then Mylo gets his face bashed in and she just gets a pass. Also what about Vi, Cait and Cassandra? could they count? it's kinda underdeveloped but they kinda fit)

But anyway, great majority of the bonds involved in all these triangles are platonic and there’s always intricate character reasons why certain bonds, platonic vs platonic or platonic vs romantic, are actually mutually exclusive. But even stuff as simple as ‘they don’t vibe with each other’ is good enough to justify a completely platonic love triangle where a person has to choose between relationships that on the surface level don’t seem incompatible, like two friends or family members. Most of the competing relationships also typically represent two drastically different choices/life paths a person could choose, where the choice of one inherently excludes the other person from being a part of the character’s life, like a ‘going down a path I can’t follow’ situation. If Silco picks Jinx then Sevika wouldn’t be able to follow him anymore. If Jinx picks madness then Vi can’t follow her anymore. Etc. etc.

#plus this made me notice how there’s more screentime and complexity dedicated to characters who are a part of multiple triangles #like how I consider jinx to be the main and best arcane character #and she’s the center of 2 of the mentioned triangles and a part of 5 in total #vi’s a part of 4 and a center of 2 #and silco’s a part of 4 and the center of 1 #how characters like sevika and ekko who are clearly supporting characters are each only a part of 1 triangle #and how the zaun storyline which always seemed so much better to me is the one with all the triangles #while piltover only has one not fully realised triangle #arcane #jinx #vi #silco #caitlyn kiramman #sevika #vander #mel medarda #jayce #viktor #my:arcane #team jinx #team vi #team silco #arcane family

Atsushi’s compassion towards nearly every character even when they don’t technically deserve it makes my heart ache

Your name is Ren. You are eight years old. You have no mother, and no father, but you have a monster who lives in the pipes over your bed. Her name is Jinx.

Or, as I like to call it, the “See a Small Fatherless Child, Ask ‘Is Anyone Going to Adopt That’, Don’t Wait for an Answer” family tradition.

#arcane #jinx arcane #ren arcane #arcane genfic #fic:mine #ngl fam the first time i saw ren i said 'oop that's a tie-in character' #bc why would you waste hair like that and pronouns on someone who isn't [mickey mouse voice] going to be important to the plot later #turns out she's not?? she doesn't even have her own page on the wiki??? travesty #it's not her fault her dad the sheriff is literally the only heterosexual on a show full of angry queers hitting things #anyway taking minor characters with less than 3 minutes of screen time and fleshing them into 14k is what I do best‚ so enjoy!

I hate the ‘was Silco a good dad’ debate cos it’s so irrelevant, like ppl can’t have fun with movies anymore, I guess? Did anyone ever bitch about ppl thinking of Vader as a good dad (best dad in the galaxy! even) cos his interactions with his son are cute? I don’t think so, and he cut off Luke’s hand. I want that for us.

#silco best villain dad 2022 let’s go #honestly the same applies to 'was vi a good sister' #like?? everyone in arcane is fucked up #the only ppl who care are the ones who hold grudges against fictional characters #silco #jinx #silco and jinx #arcane #arcane fandom #my:arcane

just because I know I'm schizophrenic now doesn't mean I'm doing any better and that I don't want to d*e every fucking day of my life still. I'm still just paperwork to the majority and the majority keeps telling me I don't deserve the money I want/need to put towards medication. Living is literal hell for me. Always has been but I feel like it's gotten worse now that I'm hyper aware of why, also knowing a lot of people aren't going to understand exactly why in my case specifically. Don't forget I'm also on the autism spectrum. It's a cocktail of just everything and anything.

#it also doesn't fucking help all the psychosis characters in media is always depicted as a villain like THANKS YOU FUCKS. #Jinx is still probably the best representation though despite that #mental awareness

[scalpelsister]

FUCK I just found out about a cool sylvanas tshirt design but I cannot in good conscious support them AND all the used / new with tags resellers dont sell it in my size. stick figure violence moments...

#did make me come across someone who was selling a sylvanas did nothing wrong shirt which was cool but THEN THE OTHER OPTION FOR IT WAS #ARTHAS DID NOTHING WRONG #as if they are comparable smh #anyways its probably for the best bc i dont really want to be publicly identifiable as a wow player #my post #edit: also no secondhand jinx shirts. and cr only has the one keyleth shirt... #how are people supposed to know I go to bat for detested female characters lmao

three years later I'm still thinking about the decision our voice dubbing department made when they chose Daria Frolova to voice Jinx in Arcane, did they know what kind of unhinged meme potential they created???

#it was actually the best choice ever! she fits SO DAMN WELL AHAHHSHFKFLF #but because Daria is such a prolific voice actress we now have situations where you watch a project she participated in and get jump scared #AND THAT'S LIKE A LOT OF PROJECTS. LIKE ELENA SHULMAN (rest in peace queen of va) SHE'S VOICED SO MANY ICONIC CHARACTERS OVER THE YEARS #SHE'S BASICALLY RUSSIAN TARA STRONG AT THIS POINT #and if you were growing up in russia during late 2000s and 2010s... well. she's basically the one who made your childhood the way it is. #fun fact. she voiced harley quinn at one point ahhshfjfkfk in lego batman movie of all things! #even more funnier fact. she voiced both tails and amy in rus dub of sonic boom. #but THE FUNNIEST fact is that she voiced MARINETTE. imagine watching miraculous ladybug and hearing jinx.
