Arcane One Piece AU (Fem!ZoSan centric)
Ok so this all started because of this post and galaxy braining with the amazing @anniilaugh can’t you just IMAGINE dyke Zoro circling and Kabedon-ing (pin against the wall) Sanji like “You’re hot, cook- so what’ll it be? Man or woman?” As they go into the brothel looking for information? SHE DREW THE BEST ART OF VI!ZORO RIGHT HERE BTW
Sanji is good with her legs so she would impress Zoro with her parkour skills
Sanji has a Taz British accent (like Caitlin has a British accent) but with lots of cursing (Zeff’s influence) “bollocks!” And some French cursing as well since he learned it as a kid (putain! Merde! Fait chier!)
Zoro wears the same hot dyke clothes Vi does- arms fully out, and pulls her hood on when she’s serious (like the bandana). She also has cool tattoos and the hand wrap things
She fights with hextech swords that look just like hilts until they’re turned on and the blades appear - she carries them looped in carabiners around her waist (seriously look at the art)
World-building wise: Underworld Zaun Kingpin Doflamingo (Silco) with the drug “SMILE” who has Piltover higher ups and police in his pocket (he has leverage like in one piece)
SMILE gives people strange powers but temporarily, like temporary devil fruits that leave you broken and drained
Powder is Luffy, Zoro’s adoptive little brother, they were raised by Kuma (Vander) after his failed revolution where their parents die, growing up with a small crew of misfit friends (including Kuina, who dies)
The tragedy happens and Zoro gets put into prison (on Doffy’s orders) while Luffy thinks Zoro abandoned him and is taken in by Doffy, becoming “Nika” (his unhinged alter ego is gear 5 like Jinkx is to Powder) , now growing up along kids like Law, Baby 5 etc . His hair went white from the stress of that fateful night/or he bleaches it
Caitlin!Sanji grows up in Piltover as a noble with the abusive Vinsmokes but runs away and gets taken in by a chef called Zeff (who lost his leg in the failed revolution but managed to start anew, tries to help Zaun how he can, sending food etc)
Zeff gets put in prison by the Vinsmokes to control Sanji and she’s forced to become an enforcer (Fem!Sanji in that little uniform oh god. Smoking her cigarettes with a stupid little hat and the gun she does her best to avoid using)
She still works after her enforcer shifts at the Baratie since shes always itching to cook, feed the hungry and to support party and carne and keep her adoptive dad’s restaurant alive (she knows of how bad people have it in Zaun, and before Zeff found her she was hungry and homeless)
Her weapon of choice is actually something she has strapped to her legs from her thighs to her calves (Zoro will be very distracted) some hextech steampunk looking thing that powers up her kicks and she can send her kicks energy forward to do mid range attacks
She uses her enforcer job to snoop around and try and figure out how to get her father out
Her lead takes her to Stilwater prison where Zoro has been beat and abused for several years
Cue scene where Sanji walks in to Zoro’s cell and sees her boxing like crazy and fuck she’s so hot wtf but also she feels terrible for her and her blood boils as she learns of the abuse she went through
Telling herself she must be going absolutely insane (but is she? She feels like this is the right thing. It’s fate) she forges release documents to get Zoro out, sure that her knowledge of the under-city will help her understand where the corruption lies and get Zeff back
Zoro immediately does not follow what she’s saying and goes on her own thing (PARKOUR!) and she impresses her by being able to keep up
Zoro still gets lost and turned around
Are you sure you know the under-city, mosshead?
Zoro stops at a street food stall and Sanji is annoyed at first- as well as disgusted by how she shovels it in her mouth, but softens and silently rages when Zoro shares that she’s been starved a couple of times in Stillwater
Cue the brothel scene omg
Circling Sanji and pushing her up against a wall “You’re hot, cook. So what’ll it be, man or woman?”
Zoro walking by Sanji talking up another woman in the brothel after her talk with Nami (head of the brothel) and smiling to herself
Jayce is Franky who is experimenting with the crystals to create hextech, Viktor could be iceburg, Vivi is the hot politician lady (Mel)
Firelight is “Sogeking” - zoro and Luffy’s childhood friend Usopp (Ekko)
Also Taller than Zoro Sanji aaaaa
Zoro calling Sanji “officer” to annoy her - only switching to “cook” and “curly” as an alternative nickname

Piltover is the problem (*Arcane S1 spoilers*)
Throughout Arcane, Jinx is torn between Vi's "Powder", and Silco's "Jinx". Both love her, but neither accept who she is until Silco's final realistion where he switches from "Jinx is perfect" to "You're perfect." 
Something he was desperate to hear from Vander, who gives up on Silco, betrays him and leaves him for dead thinking he doesn't have the capacity to change. But Silco proves him wrong: "Is there anything so undoing as a daughter". Jinx did what Vander couldn't. Gave him something else to believe in. Focussed that anger and injustice.
And Silco did it. He paved the way for peace. And had a good argument for not handing in Jinx for the murder of a couple of guards when Piltover has been systematically murdering hundreds of children and adults alike in the mines etc.. Oh, but it wasn't them directly, so doesn't count? No. Their inaction was what pulled the trigger. And Jayce doesn't even consider being held accountable for the murder of that boy (again, irregardless of all the out-of-sight so out-of-mind deaths). If brokering peace is enough for him, it should be enough for Jinx and Silco too, particularly when Piltover's body count is so much higher.
When it comes down to it, Piltover are the worst kind of abuser. They're the government who acts all nice and shiny and righteous while quietly enforcing child labour, enabling destruction of the environment, gas-lighting anyone who speaks against them, and promoting an unsustainable and lavish lifestyle based on self-interest at the expense of others. The quiet, deep-rooted, insidious evil that points it's finger at any opposers screaming "look, big bad thing threatening our civilised way of life!"
And Vander and Vi are not the "good guys" either. They're another kind of toxic. The "normal" people with a saviour complex who don't understand/accept anyone different, and part of what pushed Silco and Jinx over the edge (because, yes, Silco and Jinx have crossed a line, there is no excusing that). Neither are the Firelights necessarily the "good guys". They are so focussed on infighting in Zaun that they seem to have forgotten about the root cause of their problems. You know, Piltover? The people who have been quietly murdering your families and loved ones for the past X number of years??? Jeez. Remember the bigger picture guys.
Now, we may have been robbed of the "Silco figuring out how to properly dad" in Season 2 as it doesn't fit into Riots universe (looking at you, AO3), but I can only hope it doesn't turn into the "Vi fixes Jinx" show. Jinx doesn't need fixing. She needs people to accept who she is, and access to mental health care so she can focus that brilliance into productive things. People can be not okay but still valid. Yes, Silco was a "bad guy", but he was also a product of Piltover's exploitation, suppression and abuse (hello? Can we address this please?), as well as Vander's betrayal. He was very deliberate in his cruelty. It all had a purpose. Zaun needed someone to step up as nothing else was working (hello Jinx). Was it the right thing to do? Morally, no. But was it the lesser evil that would overall result in the fewest deaths? Who knows.
The key takeaway for me is that Runeterra DESPERATELY needs access to good quality, free mental health services (as do we all). Also, the world could also come a long way if we a) try to be nicer to each other and b) take a closer look at those really in power ('cos there is a whole lotta grey out there).
But that's how I see it. And I think one of the great things this show has done has sparked these discussions on acceptance, equality, mental health etc. It's okay to not be okay. You're not alone, so just be nice to each other. We're all on this lump of space rock together, and for anyone out there who feels lost, I'm sending all the love and hugs in the universe💜
And yeah, watch this show. It's perfect.

Arcane Chapter 3
Tumblr media
Forgive me… Powder…
"Ever wonder what it's like to drown? Story of opposites. There's peace in water. Like it's holdin' you, whisperin' in low tones to let it in. And every problem in the world will fade away. But then there's this thing..in your head, and it's raging. Lighting every nerve with madness. To fight. To survive.
And all the while, this question lingers before you:
"Have you had enough?"
It's funny. You could pass a lifetime without ever facing a choice like that. But it changes you forever. For that, I thank you...old friend."
"What aren't you telling me?" (Y/n) and Vander walk along the road to Benzo's shop. "I already know you have a deal with Topside Dad..". Vander frowns and shakes his head.
"The Topsiders want their pound of flesh. And if I had to guess, Vi is going to.." Vander says and (Y/n) quickly puts two and two together.
"I'm not letting her give herself up! We have to get to Benzo's!" (Y/n) breaks off into a sprint. The two reach Benzo's shop who seemingly as reached his shop as well. The door was knocked off, The trio open the door to Vi sitting on a chair, pacing in anxiety. She stands up seeing them here.
"Vander? (Y/n). " she asks confused.
"We don't have much time." I'm proud of you. Always have been." Vander walks over, holding Vi. She looks down, somberly.
"I'm sorry, I... This is the only way to protect the others." She says, and (Y/n) steps up.
"You'd leave me like that, like us?" He says, he walks over to Vi, looking into her eyes. Vander comes over, seeing the hurt his his boys eyes.
"You've got a good heart. Don't ever lose it. No matter how the world tries to break you. Protect the family." He says, and Vander hugs Vi.
"What are you..." Vander shoves Vi into the closet, locking her in.
"No! (Y/n)! Vander! Let me out! This isn't right!" (Y/n) listens to her bang against the door, desperately trying to escape. (Y/n) bites his tongue, in dismay listening to VI's pleads of despair. He turns around to Vander.
"Are... you sure about this?" He says, and Vander nods, hugging his son.
"I am, I refuse to let any of you go... you've come so far, and I'm so proud of you...Vi can be hot headed and the others aren't as mature. So I'm leaving it to you, Take care of the family.." Vander says, a few tears pour down (Y/n)'s face as he rubs them away, just then, two enforcers enter the Building, Grayson and the egotistical Marcus.
"I'm guessing that's for me." Grayson says to the pounding on the door, (Y/n) walks over to the door to protect it.
"You gonna let us make the arrest or not?" Marcus says to (Y/n), who stares daggers at Marcus, and Vander lights up a smoke.
"You'll oblige a doomed man one last smoke. Won't you?" He asks, Grayson walks over to Vander, unamused.
"I'm not putting you away, Vander. Without you down here, it all falls apart." She says, Vander motions to (Y/n).
"(Y/n) will handle things. He's my son so he comes with m my devilish charm, and he runs a tight ship." He says. There's silence, (Y/n) forces himself to stay strong. Marcus cuffs Vander, and is lead outside, Vi watches from the green tinted glass in the basement of the figures exiting the Shop. She watches until something happens, she's unable to make it out from the tint but she hears Grayson's voice.
"Hey. Stop right there!" She yells and Vi tries to look closer. Until blood splatters the window in a flash, Vi flies back, mortified. Outside, Graysons stunned corpse lied on the ground, the sizzle of the fired gun rings in distance.
"What the devil..." Benzo says, afraid. The remaining men turn to the origins of footsteps, deep green mist fills the area, and a figure steps out from it, what distincts thus man was the scarring eye he has, sun red with a pupil that's pitch black with the iris like a Solar eclipse. Hiding the true malice and hatred under it. (Y/n) has no clue how he is but Vander does.
"Silco?" Vanders voice was shaky, almost.. afraid.
"You animal. Go crawl back into whatever hole you came out of." Benzo says, grabbing the baton of the dead Grayson and rushes to attack him.
"Benzo, stay back." Vander yells, as Silco calmly turns to him.
"You never did know when to walk away." He says, and In a flash, Benzo was torn into shreds. Blood splatters (Y/n)'s face, he looks around, confused by what happened. (Y/n) watches a malformed monster approach, it's body massive with sickening purple veins pulsating through its body. (Y/n) felt a sickening aura radiate from it. (Y/n) was terrified, afraid, he steps back, as Silco stares at Benzo's corpse.
"Hmm. Stubborn to the end." Silco utters, Marcus looks absolutely terrified.
"What the hell have you done? This wasn't the deal!" He yells.
"Deal's changed." Silco replies coldly, (Y/n) sees the monster close in on Vander, ge didn't know what to do, panicked his legs told him to run, run as fast as he can away... but he couldn't. he grabs the baton and rushes in full speed, he leaps into the air, cocking the Baton back, he was ready to fight to the bloody end, until the monster grabs him by the neck, squeezing tightly, Silco turns to (Y/n), who's gasping for air.
"A Child playing Hero... how.. trivial, it seems you rushed to his Side without any hesitation, you are definitely Vanders son.. but let me give you a word of advice, that nagging feeling in the back of your head, that was fear.. telling you to run and preserve yourself, you should habe listened to it.. because that wasn't bravery, that was foolishness.."
The Monster hurls (Y/n) like a baseball though the window of Benzo's shop, his body crashes through the window, slides along the counter and slams into the wall near the door, and slumps down, the pain shooting through his body was too much for it to take, and (Y/n)'s eyes lower and he collapses unconscious. Minutes, Seconds? Maybe hours have passed, he didn't know. But he simply awoke, pain shoots through his arm and ribs as he stands up, still a bit dazed from the tossing, he stumbles to the door, and opens it. He slowly steps downstairs, leaning on the wall as he turns to vi, sitting there. Her face moves up from her arms to see (Y/n) there, with a few bruises and cuts, she stands up, slowly approaching him.
"I saw everything. Be... Benzo. They..." he says, slowly begging to break down, and this time, Vi holds him, letting him fall apart in her arms.
"What about Vander?" Vi says, he looks at her, sniffling. She wipes the tears from his face.
"I don't know I think They took him." He says, Vi begins to worry even more.
"Where?" She asks, he looks down. Thinking.
"I don't know, there's only one place I can.. think of.." he says, the Fish Cannery, the old decrepit building houses all of Silco's plans. As the large monster was dragging Vander along, the Cannery is full of Sulcos goons, building weapons and producing an odd purple liquid.
"It's a little crude, I'll admit...The base violence necessary for change. But we both know topside won't listen to anything else." Silco explains, as Vander is tossed on a railing
"Even with your monsters, you won't win a war against Piltover." Vander was able to utter from his bated breath.
"I don't have to. I just need to scare them. They won't dare set foot in the underground again." He says, and Vander turns to him, his eye swollen and barely able to see from it.
"You'll get people killed. For what? Pride?" Vander spits blood on the ground, Silco looks at him, a bit bewildered.
"For respect. Opportunity. Everything they've denied us." He says, kneeling down to look Vander in the eye.
"You had my respect. The Lanes' respect, but that...
that was never enough for you." Vander snaps back, and Silco closes in.
"We shared a vision, Vander. A dream of freedom.
Not just for the Lanes, but the whole of the underground, united as one. The nation of Zaun.
Do you even remember? I trusted you. And you betrayed me." Silco's words were full of Venom, resentment and hatred building up. Vander looks regretful.
"What I did to you... I've never forgiven myself. You were my brother." Vander says, somberly, Silco stands up. Reliving that day, Being drowned in the Water.
"No, you still don't understand...Can you imagine what it's like? When your blood mixes with the filth
and the river toxins eat through your nerves. Oh, I hated you for what you'd done. But as time passed, so did my hate. And I was left with an understanding.
The only way to defeat a superior enemy is to stop at nothing. To become what they fear. I hated you, but you kept my respect. Until you made peace with them. Played lapdog after everything we suffered." Silco grumbles, feeling the small sting in his eye.
"..I had no choice." Vander somberly utters.
"Perhaps." Silco tilts his head a bit. "But now you do." Silco shows Vander a Vial of a glowing purple liquid.
"Shimmer. We have the power. We can finally realize our dream, brother." He says, trying to entice Vander, but he cannot agree with it.
"Look at what you've done. Benzo. These kids. My Son.. In fighting topside you'd sacrifice everything that we are. It's not the way. Can't you see that?
Kill me if you have to, but please spare the Lanes." He says, and Silco snaps.
"You'd die for the cause, but you won't fight for one?" He says back, and Vander simply looks down.
"I'm just... not that man anymore." He says, and Silco walks off, heading to a room across the walkway.
"I'll show you what you really are." He says, and has dire intentions for Vander.
Inside the Bar, Claggor, Mylo and Powder are waiting in the basement, probably arguing about something dumb. Before (Y/n) and Vi enter.
"Oh, you're back." Mylo says. The two notice the weaponry they've acquired, which is a Baseball bat and Vanders Cast Iron gauntlets. Vi grabs them and Mylo stops her.
"Hey. Those are Vander's. Slow down. What's going on?" He asks.
"Benzo's dead." (Y/n) says heading to a small hole to grab some gear.
"Dead?" Mylo says, shocked; the group look more hopeless than before.
"They took Vander." Vi adds in. " I need to help him."
"We're going with you." Claggor adds in, and Powder begins to pack. (Y/n) grabs from the hole a piece of steel with a few rivets on it, a makeshift Brass knuckle, and attaches it onto his arm. He turns to the group, as they father whatever they can, and head up, (Y/n) and Vi see powder coming too, but stop her.
"I need you to sit this one out, Powder." Vi says, and Powders determination turns to confusion.
"What?" She says.
"You're not coming." Vi reiterates.
"I'm not afraid." Powder says arguing back. "Families stick together. You said it yourself.—"
"No!" (Y/n)'s voice echoes, and scares powder, he looks shocked himself and sadly kneels down to face powder.
"I'm sorry Powder.. We can't lose you." He says, putting his hand on her shoulder, "Whatever he has is, a lot scarier than any of us can imagine. I promise it'll be okay, and I'll come back with Vander and everything will be okay.. I promise." He says. He gives Powder a small peck on the forehead as he turns to leave, Vi gives Powder what seems to be a flare.
"Here. If they come for you, take this and run.
Where ever you are, light it up, and I'll find you. I promise." Vi says, and the two leave powder. Alone. The group begin their journey to the Cannery, the four slowly maneuver towards the high ground, and slowly drop down into the cannery from a broken window on the roof, they reach the Walkway and into a small room with Vander, strapped to the chair. Vander looks up at the approaching children.
"Vi?" Vander says, "What are you doing here?". More of the group pour into the room.
"We're breakin' you out." (Y/n) says, seeing the locks on the arms and legs of Vander.
"Mylo." He says and he quickly comes in with his lock pick. (Y/n) turns to Claggor.
"Find us another way out of here, it's best if we—" (Y/n) says, until an echo cuts him off, the sound of clapping, it was Silco, with his goons in tow.
"Welcome. You have my congratulations.
But I'm afraid this will be a very short reunion. Have you heard the rumor? Vander the coward fled town with his children. And they were never seen again." Silco says, and the massive tattooed man begins to walks the walkway. (Y/n) steps back, until he turns to his side to see Vi putting on the Gauntlets, he walks over and tightens them for her. She and (Y/n) look at each other, and he smiles just slightly.
"You ready? There's no going back after this Vi.." he says and she nods, (Y/n) picks up the bat and puts it over his shoulder and they walk together to face the Monsters of Zaun. The Large man draws a knife and cracks his neck.
"He's gonna go for a stab, I counter and you land square on his jaw." He says. Vi raises her gauntlets.
"You wanna bet on that?" She says.
"I put your life on it, so I know I'd never be wrong." He says, the man growls and goes for a stab, (Y/n) throws his prosthetic arm in the way, it parries the knife and Vi goes in, and Rocks him with an uppercut the drops the man immediately, (Y/n) picks up his knife and puts it in his pocket. More goons begin to approach and Vi and (Y/n) fight, (Y/n) taking big swings with his bat and Iron clad knuckle, and Vi with her gauntlets. One attempts to go for Vi, (Y/n) slides in, swinging his bat and hitting the goons stomach and Vi coming in with the assist and right hook, A pair of teenagers begin to wipe the floor with grown men and women. One man with a mace attempts to crush (Y/n) he puts the bat up to block but it goes through the Wooden bat and hits him right in the collar bone, he collapses down in pain and Vi comes in with the rescue.
Vi begins to fight off two while (Y/n) writhes in pain, he sees Vi barely holding them off, seeing her in trouble he throws his pain to the side and tosses himself back into the fray. One Cocks back to swing but gets a fist fill of (y/n) iron clad prosthetic fist breaking his teeth, letting Vi dispatch the other.
Mylo looks over to see the two keeping them off, but are being worn down. Vander looks at him.
"Mylo. Take a breath. You can do this." He says, Mylo calms himself and begins again, picking the locks. (Y/n) and vi help each other up, (Y/n) turns to Silco.
"Cmon! That the best you got?!" He yells, Silco motions for Deckard, and he hands him a Vial of Shimmer and he drinks it. And he transforms into the monster (Y/n) saw outside Benzo's.
"...Shit.." (Y/n) says and he charges in, only to get a boot into his sternum. He hits the ground and Vi charges in.
"Mylo, hurry!" Vander yells, while Claggor slams into the wall, breaking it down piece by piece. Vi leaps into the air, only to get her face grabbed by the monstrous Deckard.
"Silco. Let her go! This is between you and me!" Vander screams from his chair, and Silco glares coldly.
"You had your chance." (Y/n) rushes in with his brass knuckle and cracks the monster in the rib with heavy punches, he drops Vi and grabs (Y/n) by the Prosthetic. He begins to crush it, and (Y/n) quickly takes the blade he took and rams it into the wrist of Deckard, who drops him as well, but the damage is done and part of the metal was crushed, he picks Vi up with now his only good arm, and limps away as Deckard removes the blade from his wrist. He fumbles into the room and rushes to the door, he yanks the latch and slams it shut before Deckard could reach them. He locks it and slumps down, exhausted.
"You did good." Vander says, (Y/n) looks relieved by the Door shakes with each punch from Deckard, Claggor picks up the speed, and Mylo has Vander almost free. (Y/n) shakes his head, fearing the end, until Vi pushes back as well, holding the door with him. They push together, desperate to hold him back, all seems to be going well...
"You have to work. For me. Okay?" A girl says, Powder, on the edge of the building, preparing something, a monkey bomb with three of those crystals inside. With spikes on the chimes. She winds it up and drops it into a window and watches it move forward, clanging the spikes into the crystal as it clamors closer and closer to the area, and near Deckard the energy builds up more and more ferocious until it reaches a boiling point. In one last clang, it erupts, the crystals explode in a massive form of blue light, which knocks powder off the building.
It blasts Deckard away, evaporates the arm of one of Silco's goons, one crystal blasts through the door and gets in, and another explosion happens, murdering Claggor, and the crystal touches (Y/n), the energy surges through his body, as he was hit with a wave of it, his arm gets arcs of lightning shot though his prosthetic and up his face, and right into his eye. It demolished the lower body of the building, setting the shimmer aflame. His scream is the last thing that's heard as his body seemingly is warped and disappears, the impact sends Mylo into the wall and a pipe right into his shoulder, pinning him to the wall, he looks over to the corpse of Claggor, barley able to understand what just happened, the roof begins to cave it, and it crushes them both. Vander can only begin to process what's going on, seeing Vi barely able to move and is in pain, tears flowing down her face, Silco recovers from it as well, and points to the door.
"Kill them!" He commands, and the remaining goons follow, and the side of Vander that he kept locked away, erupts, and the Hound of the Underground is prepared to bite once more. Breaking off pieces of the door, he creates makeshift knuckles and starts cracking Skulls, and tosses one man off the ledge and starts to deal with Deckard, until a blade catches him in the back. Silco, as he removes the blade from his back, Vander turns and grabs Silco with every bit of strength he hast left to choke the life out of him. But that strength wavers with the second the second stab enters his body, Vanders body, seemingly gives up, and Silco tosses him off the left.
"I knew you still had it in you." Silco says, and turns to the goons. "Find the girl and that boy.." he says, and continues to focus, Deckard slowly makes his way inside, but a figure yanks him and turns him around, wrapping its hand around its neck and snapping it with ease, the beast tosses his lifeless corpse away. It was Vander, who ingested the Shimmer himself and is a malformed shade of his former self, the mesmerized beast turn to Silco.
"Silco!" His voice roars like a lion in the darkness. But the building was reaching its crumbling point, and he had to make a choice, Silco or Vi, he grabbed Vi before the building could explode and leapt out, as it succumbed to powders bomb. Eventually Vi recovers in the alley to a dying Vander, and now she's about to lose everyone. She rushes to his side, As Vanders purple veins begin to lose their light.
"Vander! Vander..." she says, tears forming in her eyes, and his last words echoed deep within her.
"Take care of Powder." He utters, before the light in his eyes.. die. Vi's tears of pain were dubbed by the rain that began to pour, and a voice halts her mourning.
"Vi, it worked!" A voice says behind her, and Vi slowly turns around with her toy, and she looks, stunned.
"What?" Vi was only able to utter, the complete shock of everything is slowly reaching her, and powder couldn't be more proud of herself.
"Did you see me? My monkey bomb finally worked! I did the cogs just like (Y/n) said so! And it worked!" She says, so happy, Vi just simply turns to her, cold.
"You did this? Why? Why did you do this?" She asks, Powder looks confused, until she looks past Vi, the flames, the carnage, Vanders malformed corpse on the ground, Claggor's shatter goggles on the ground. and it all begins to click in her head, she did this, she killed Mylo, Claggor... (Y/n). And it all begins to set into the child's head, she begins to sniffle, tearing up.
"I... I didn't...I was saving you...I only wanted to help." Powder says, barely able to hold it all together, as tears begin to rush down the child's face, as she can only repeat. I only wanted to help.
I only wanted to help. only wanted to..." she says, her
" told you to stay away." Vi says, her emotions coming to a boil, and a hysterical powder cries even more.
"Please. Please. Please..." her voice shaking, shattering as she pleads with her sister.
"I told you to stay away!" Vi snaps, hitting powder as she falls on the ground, terrified.
"Why did you leave me?!" She screams, and Vi grabs the girl by the face, yanking her in close.
"Because you're a jinx. Do you hear me? Mylo was right." We're her final words to her sister before leaving. Powder falls back, watching the last family member she has left, abandon her.
"No. No. No. Violet, please! Violet, please!
Please come back! Please, Violet. I need you. Please!"
But her cries fall upon deaf ears, until a man she's never seen before, approaches the abandoned Powder, and he kneels down, bloody knife in hand.
Silco.
"Hello, little girl...Where's your sister?" He asks, and Powder looks up to him, and leaps into his arms, crying harder.
"She left me...She is not my sister anymore." She says, Silco was stunned, not really knowing how to respond, and he simply.. Holds her.
"It's okay...We'll show them. We will show them all."
Darkness, a void of senseless and emptiness, the dark only adorned by stars from a cosmos long forgotten to humanity, (Y/n) opens his eyes, and he sees a forest green trees, grass, but no light.. as if he's.. not on earth, his body in tatters from the fight. He attempts to stand up, but is barely able to make it a few feet before collapsing to his knees, he crawls to what seems to be a cliff, as he peers over it, he see the world is nothing, darkenss. And small islands that seem to be floating in the dark, and he's on one of them, he looks around. He's on a floating island in, some void.
"Vi? Violet?! Powder?! POWDER! CLAGGOR! DAD, Mylo?.." he yells,
But no one can come to save him.. he realizes that he's not in Piltover, not the lanes, he's somewhere you can't get to by normal means. He rolls onto his back, and sees his Prostetic has been burned with arcs of blur electricity that seems to be not normal, he feels the pain along his face as well... whatever happened to him, was permanent. He extends his prosthetic arm to what he might think is the sky, and sees one of powders drawings on it. The tears begin to flow as he cries, having lost.. everyone.
"Powder I.. I..."
"I'm So Sorry.."

Arcane men (cough cough Vander) finding out you’re pregnant? also what they’re like throughout it
I like how Vander is singled out here, you have good dilf taste Anon.
Pairing: Viktor, Jayce, Silco, Vander, Ekko, Marcus, Finn, Local Cuisine x Reader
Tags: established relationship, pregnancy, soothing kisses, cuddles
A/N: If there's something I love more than writing Arcane men in smutty scenarios its Arcane men being incredibly soft for their SO. Although sometimes its both. But this one is just wholesome.
Tumblr media
Viktor would be happy about the news but wrack his brain about when it happened cause he could swear that the two of you were being careful about it.
It's not that he doesn't want the baby or anything like that, he's just a really big fan of planning things through first. Yet despite this being a bit of a surprise for both of you it's the kind of surprise that he looks forward to seeing the results of.
"You're pregnant darling? But we were being careful. When could we have... oh, oh wait... you came to visit me at the lab that night and we... yes it must be when it happened. Am I happy about it? Of course I am, surprised to be sure, but I look forward to meeting the baby. I just can't believe we literally made it in the lab."
Tumblr media
Jayce was more than happy to hear the news, he was actually the one who brought up the subject of having a baby and was very happy when you said you wanted too as well.
Since his own dad wasn't around he wants to be able to be the best dad possible for his kid. He might be a little too excited though as he starts buying baby stuff pretty soon into your pregnancy, but it's fun to watch him in the baby section with such an intense expression like he's trying to figure out an equation.
"Oh good morning babe, you look happy, what's up? You're pregnant?! Really?! That's amazing! Oh I have to... we need to celebrate! What do you want to do, I'll take you anywhere. And we need to tell everyone. I bet they'll be happy too. My mom always wanted a grandkid, and I'm sure Viktor and Caitlyn would love to be the godparents and... mmm... or we could just kiss for a while, that works."
Tumblr media
Silco was seemingly neutral about the news at first but only because Jinx was excitedly jumping around and already thinking of names for her new sibling.
When she was out of the room however he walked over, took your hand in his and placed a gentle kiss on the back of it. He's pretty happy about the news but this also means that he's gonna have to make sure none of his enemies catch wind of too soon. He doesn't want to put you and the baby in danger.
"Ah, sorry about that sweetheart, but you know how excited she can get. Am I excited. Of course, I wouldn't have finished inside you that night if I didn't want another child. Don't worry I promise you're gonna have the best care and security possible. And no more Shimmer for you until you're pregnant."
Tumblr media
Vander already has plenty of kids to take care of so what's one more, especially one that he's having with you.
He was actually worried about you at first because his first thought was that you got sick. But when you told him you were pregnant he couldn't help but swoop you into his arms and twirl you around while giving you a big kiss.
"You doin alright there darlin? You're not sick are you? In a way? What do you mea... you... you're pregnant? Really now? No, no, I'm happy, of course I am. Hey, kids! Get over here, we got some big news to tell you!
Tumblr media
Ekko wasn't sure how to take the news at first. Pregnancy was quite risky with the rebellion happening and things with Piltover about to blow up in everyone's faces at any moment.
He will take responsibility of course and he won't make you do anything you don't want, he'll just have to make extra sure that you and the baby are safe. If anything making the world a better place is even more of a priority now, he wants the child to have a bright future ahead.
"Pregnant? Are you sure Firefly. Ah... damn. I didn't mean you would actually... huh? Hey come one you know well enough that Zaun and Piltover are moments away from tearing each other apart. And now... I'm sorry alright? We should have both been more careful. It's not that I don't want to a family with you, of course I do, I just hoped that the world would be a better place when we made that decision. I... I will make it better, we will make it better. For them. For everyone. I promise."
Tumblr media
Marcus was quite happy that you're pregnant since the two of you have been trying for a while now.
He was at work when you he was notified that there's an emergency at home. So naturally he raced there as fast as possible. He thought there was something wrong only to welcomed by a big hug and kiss. He was confused before you told him the good news, after that he seemed happier than he'd been in quite some time.
"Sweetheart what's wrong, what's the emergency? Are you alright? Is Ren safe? Are you... mmm... oh ok wow, uh... what, what's going on? Why did you call me if there's no emergency? There is? Well what is it then. Ah... you... we... we're having a baby? You're pregnant? Yes, we have been trying for a while now haven't we? I'm sure Ren's gonna be happy to get a sibling."
Tumblr media
Finn never, ever planned to be a father. In fact he went out of his way to avoid that possibility at all cost, even with you.
When you first tell him he's completely silent, he doesn't even pick up his lighter or a cigar. He leaves for a little bit to think about it. When he comes back you can tell that he's had a little Shimmer. You think he'll tell you to get rid of it but instead he pulls you into a hug, his hands running across your stomach as he curses himself for not being careful but promising to see this through with you.
"Sweetcheeks. I missed you too, so what do you say we get rid of these clothes and... what? You're pregnant? It's mine? Well of course it is, I know damn well you haven't been sleeping with other people. Shit. No, look just... just give me a bit ok? Don't go anywhere. Ok, I've had some time to think and... why are you crying? Get rid of it? Why would I make you do that? It's me I'm pissed off at not you. You doll... I won't leave you. I might be a crimelord but I ain't a complete monster. Come here, I'll take care you both. Promise."
Tumblr media
LC didn't quite see himself as a family man, at least not starting a family, so the news came as quite a shock.
After he's recovered from the shock though he realizes that he's probably gonna have to work harder to support you and the baby since you're gonna need to take a break from work for a while. But he also wants to be there as much as possible for you and the baby so he always takes days off despite some of his clients not liking that.
"You've been acting a bit strange for the past few days doll. Is everything ok? You have something to tell me? Is it good news or bad? Good? Well lay it on me then. Pregnant? Pregnant. Oh. Uh... alrighty then. Um... well... it's just that... having a family was never in the plan and... honestly I'm a little scared. But I know you are too. And... and I'll be here for you, every step of the way ok? I just... need to let the news wash over me. Haha, yes I think cuddles and kisses will help a lot."

You've answered alcohol tolerance levels for the Arcane characters. What about dancing? Who has the best moves?
By order of least likely to dance well to most likely:
Viktor - Sadly, as a casualty of his health condition more than his need to use a cane, he sits out every dance. But he's got a secret appreciation for rhythm; will tap his feet and clap along with the beat, while looking wistfully out into the dance floor. Sometimes, you'll catch him humming a catchy tune from the party the next day... ("Poppin bottles in the ice, like a blizzard / When we drink we do it right, gettin' slizard... hmm, Jayce, what does 'slizard' mean?")
Signature move: Agrees to thump the table while you do the Bart Simpson.
Caitlyn - She was classically trained in ballroom dancing by family tutors. Cassandra expected her daughter to carry herself well at social gatherings. Unfortunately, she hadn't anticipated that her daughter would have two left feet and the rhythmic competence of a sunstruck sump-vole. Girl cannot dance to save her life. The natural grace she displays in the shooting range is displaced by backtracking stumbles and profuse apologies each time she steps on someone's foot. Which is... often. ("I'll, erm, fetch some drinks, shall I?" - proceeds to disappear and never return to the dance floor again. )
Signature move: Accidentally slapping someone in the face during a minuet.
Jayce - He's so goshdarn awkward. Like Caitlyn, he's received tutelage in classical dancing; his father was fleet on his feet, and Ximenia hoped her boy would literally follow in his footsteps. Unfortunately, Jayce has inherited his mother's adorkably awful sense of rhythm. Unlike Caitlyn, he's good at keeping up and following the steps. But he doesn't enjoy it at all - and it shows. Will waltz you around like a teenager forced to be sociable at the prom, and look for the narrowest excuse to dip. ("Oh, is that Councilor Bolbo? Let me go say hello." Jayce, that's not Councilor Bolbo. That's a coat rack...)
Signature move: The self-conscious shuffleshuffle until he's safely barricaded behind the dessert table.
Vi - Her best footwork is in the boxing ring, not the dance floor. She can move credibly enough, and even throws in a few funky moves. Will do the Dougie, first goofily, then in perfect sync. But on the whole, her dancing looks a bit like pre-game warm-ups. Bonus: those hips get to work when the beat is right. It's almost like a precursor to when she's powering up to throw a punch. Oof, she did throw a punch. ("What? The creep grabbed your ass!" Sssh. It's ok, Vi. Let's sit this one out and treat ourselves to some nachos...)
Signature move: Shadowboxing in time with the beat. It's mad fun to watch.
Vander - He isn't particularly fond of dancing, but any boxer knows it has its uses for building endurance and balance. Will get downright over-the-top with the Dad moves to crack the kids up, but for such a large man, he's surprisingly light on his feet. Bonus: if you're into it, he will absolutely pick you up and twirl you like a baton. ("Mind your head doesn't hit the ceiling fan, luv. Blood's a bitch to scrub out." What? He's kidding!)
Signature move: The Sprinkler. The kiddies love that one. Also the Anti-Gravity Lean. For shits and giggles, he'll sometimes pretend he's about to fall on you. Timbeeeeeeer!
Sevika: On the whole, she'd rather be playing cards at a party. But if she's in the mood to get the sweat flowing, she will decamp to the dancefloor. She moves with the sort of strutting grace of a prized thoroughbred at a parade. She also goes for solo dance styles rather than partner dancing. Feel free to admire her from afar - but you'll need a few shots of tequila and a shitload of courage to approach her while she's in her zone. ("Either you've got two lazy eyes, sweetheart, or you really like my tits..." What-? No! Well, yes. But it was her footwork you were admiring! Her footwooooork!)
Signature move: A smooth scoop arm + languid hip sway when she's feeling the beat.
Silco - Do ya like Jazz? 'Cause this man has moves. That whippish physique translates into immaculately sharp footwork on the dance floor. Will do the Charleston like a champ and put those skanky little hips to work during a shimmy. He's also got a sly way of leading, even when he isn't, so more often than not, you'll be following his moves rather than the other way around. If you can keep up, you'll get a wry smile paired with a rarer compliment. If you can't, he will purr the meanest insults in your ear. ("Do try to put in the work. The Swing's not a spectator's sport." Try not to burst into tears. The last thing he needs is snot on his cravat.)
Signature move: On request, you will get the sluttiest Slut Drop. And he will hold eye contact. The. Entire. Time.
Mel - Naturally fluid and elegant. She glides like a swan in a boardroom; she unfurls like a blossom on the dance floor. Even Ambessa - grudgingly - acknowledges that her daughter knows how to make an impression through all forms of her art. She's skilled in most formalized forms of ballroom dance, but what gets her little golden motor revving is actually the more earthy styles of dance. It gives her a chance to let those closely-reined emotions come loose. ("'Slum it up' with you at an Undercity saloon? Now there's a notion... Perhaps later I might take you up on the offer." Shit - she said yes. Now what?)
Signature move: Piltover's equivalent of the Viennese Waltz. A highly advanced dance that she breezes through like schoolyard hopscotch.
Jinx - Some people should not be allowed to dance. Jinx is one of them. As with everything else, she takes things to a frightening extreme. She's already a walking acrophobia trigger. Also just a living breathing trigger. When she dances, it shows. She can transition with unnerving rapidity from cute flighty bouncing to a very provocative sinuosity to something out of a Junji Ito horror manga: all feral eyes and zero bones uncoiling to squeeze the life out of you. ("I call this move the lit fuse...or is it the boomstick?" Whatever she calls it, you've already gotten blown to smithereens. R.i.p.)
Signature move: Murder on the dancefloor. Actual, literal, screaming murder.

Silco was a good dad, silco was a bad dad...
Ma'am, he was human. And those aren't perfect. Far from a dad of the year award. He was very flawed and made a lot of mistakes in rising Jinx, the biggest one was weaponizing her anger and confusion. He allowed her to lash out and wreck everything... Encourage her to build a bomb (wtf dude????)
But he made her feel loved and understood.
Here is how I very personally see those family relationships in Arcane. My father is very much Vander type, also built like him, the man of muscle, a big and strong person. He bonds really well with my brother bc they have things in common, they are very much alike and understand each other well. Like Vander and Vi. But I was born a petit girl. Skinny, bony, not into sports, muscle and being big. Into some artsy stuff that aren't interesting like a football game. And we never had anything incommon. Just like Powder and Vander don't. Vander doesn't understand Powder/Jinx. She doesn't feel valuable, she doesn't feel enough since in her family, what matters is strength of your hands, being big, brave, being like a lion not a mouse.
Here is why I and probably a lot of girls out there love character of Silco so much. He UNDERSTANDS. He listens, empathysies and shows that he understands. And for some people, all they ever wanted was to be seen and understood.
Funny but he always reminded me of my mom. Not in the weird creepy way that he is as a villain. In a way that he is skinny and calm, he doesn't scream much, but he patiently explains or gives his point of view. He shows understanding and supports his daughter, wants her to be stronger, no more afraid, no more helpless in the brutal world. He makes Jinx feel seen, appreciated and loved. He seems cold and strict but clearly cares about Jinx a lot and SHOWS that. And they TALK with one another, sorting out the problem. Did Vander talked to Jinx? No, he took Vi for a private conversation, and that's great, very natural, but he was never shows sitting with Jinx for a moment to check how she feels and to tell that her invetions will work some day, and that it's not the end of the world if it didn't work today. And it doesn't seem like something he would do. But Silco knows how it feels to live in the shadow of people bigger then you, how it feels to never be first, or having to listen to people who rise their voice or scream to make their argument or point of view matter more.
And having to choose who I would rather have as a father... Perhaps Vander would be healthier, if you are like Vi or Clogger. But I would rather feel loved and understood. Or at last seen.

The "What's Hacker's Secret?" content (part 2)
Alright, let's try this again. Here is the second part of the content that was promoting the "Transformatron" arc. We can see an issue of Cyberspace News here. The main story is Buzz and Delete being interviewed about Hacker's upcoming plans. They know nothing. We knew this already.
Tumblr media
I'm going to transcribe the interview in full.
What's Hacker's Secret? Sam Vander Rom's EXCLUSIVE Interview with Buzz & Delete
Sam: Buzz and Delete, you're the Hacker's henchmen. His simpering sidekicks. How come you're talking to me?
Delete: Well, the boss isn't talking to us much these days. We're lonely.
Buzz: Yeah, he's always shut up in his secret lab. ays we can't come in. That we'll ruin everything.
Sam: Maybe you guys should talk to that Cybertv talk show host Dr. Bill. He's good at helping people.
Delete: We should do that, Buzzy!
Buzz: Yeah, maybe we should, Dee-dee.
Sam: So what do you think Hacker's doing in his secret lab?
Delete: I think maybe he's making something.
Sam: Like what?
Buzz: Maybe a machine. He's always hammering and it sounds like he's putting stuff together.
Sam: Interesting. A new Hacker contraption.
Delete: Remember, Buzzy, how he got so excited when he found all those tiny bits of paper? He made me go get some tape. Then he taped them all together.
Buzz: Yeah, that's right, Dee-dee. The paper had a picture of a big machine. Like they were plans or something.
Sam: What does this new machine do?
Delete: Maybe it makes donuts, Buzzy! You'd like that.
Buzz: I dunno. I think it's more important-like. The boss is a pretty smart borg. I bet it'll do something no one's seen before.
Delete: We better not say anymore. The boss might get mad!
Sam: You heard it here first, folks. The Hacker's up to no good! This reporter fears we'll see a new Hack Attack very soon! The interview with Buzz and Delete ends
I think The Hacker would have been okay with this interview. Buzz and Delete really just served to hype up his latest invention, while giving no useful information about how to stop it.
Anyway, I'll transcribe Erica Ram's piece about Slider and his missing dad.
Tumblr media
Personal & Up Close by Erica Ram
Heartbreak Kid
There is no sadder story in Cyberspace than the tale of a teenborg from Radopolis named Slider. His father, the brilliant and talented Coop, was forced to flee his home years ago after a disagreement with who else - that old meanie Hacker. Coop hasn't been seen or heard from since, but we have it on good authority that young Slider is still looking for his dad. "If anyone can find him, it's Slider," said our source. When reached at his garage for comment, Slider said, "I'll find my dad some day, and that's a promise!" Good luck, Slider! We're all rooting for you!
Erica Ram's article ends
I would have used a stronger term than "meanie", given that The Hacker forced Coop to abandon his son. I'm still surprised that Cyberchase went that hard back then.
Anyway, I figure I should transcribe the other articles as well as the in-universe advertisements.
Tumblr media
Penguin Hockey Hoopla
By Olli
Penguin hockey season is about to begin! Hockey hopefuls have been lining up at try-outs all across Cyberia. In Penguia, Coach Bluewing says he's happy to have Flash back for another season. "She's got the best aim in Cyberspace," he said. A bright young fan named Fluff said he wanted to play penguin hockey because "it's the best sport ever!"
The hockey article ends
Tumblr media
Health Watch for Borgs & Bots By Dr. Marbles
Borgs & bots are warned that there have been many reports of late about magnetite. This mineral is very dangerous and can have strange and unpredictable effects. Everyone gets different glitches. Some borgs and bots lose their memory. Others break out in spots like chicken pox. I have even heard it can make you grow old or give you big feet. Everyone is urged to proceed with caution around magnetite.
The Health Watch article ends
Spoilers, magnetite exposure caused Coop to age into an old man, though he is able to be put back to normal with the cure. I really need to do a separate post about Coop's long exile. Magnetite causes Slider's feet to grow to a massive size, which is great for The Hacker, as it stops Slider from being able to lift his foot to kick his ass.
I'll transcribe the four in-universe ads at the bottom.
Tumblr media
Ad #1
Special Cryoxide Sale Today!
Buy a case, get 1 can free!
Call Mr. Cryoxide
Ad #2
Ms. Fileshare is pleased to announce that Chef Digit Le Boid will be at the Cybrary tomorrow to sign copies of his new cookbook, Chef Digit Le Boid's Party Planner.
Coming soon
Manny the Medium reads from his new book Mysteries of the Manatee.
Ad #3
Aquari-Yum Picnic
All are welcome to the Prince's Picnic in Aquari-Yum next Saturday. It will take place on Hot Dog Hill. Cybersquad superstars Matt, Jackie and Inez are expected to attend, said Stringie, close friend to the Crab Prince.
Ad #4
Wanted: 1 bunny
I will love him and keep him and call him George.
Signed, Delete.
And that's all for the ads.
I like what they did here. It covers all of the important points for the series of episodes in this arc, and it doesn't spoil anything. We just get hints.
We're going back to Penguia for hockey tryouts
The Hacker is building some grand machine in his secret lab
Buzz and Delete are going to be on Dr. Bill due to The Hacker not having any time for them
Cryoxide is going to factor in again
We're heading back to Aquari-yum to meet the Crab Prince
The magnetite is going to come back in style
We're going to meet Slider's missing dad

Arcane au where instead of killing Grayson and benzo , silco shows up when vander is being arrested and benzo goes 'thank fuck you're here I don't know how to run the lanes, you're in charge while Vander is in jail' and silco is too stunned to act . Vander says " take care of them for me" and silco thinking he must mean like. The hot girls vander has on his arm while he works or some sort of revenge plot so he just shrugs and agrees because he got what he wanted, which was vander out of the way and why expend more effort than necessary?
Silco goes to the last drop ( which I'd like to point out HE helped establish as a front for smuggling) and is doing some stock taking when he goes to the basement expecting to find booze or contraband and there's just 4 doe eyed children looking at him like " where's dad?" . Silco just comically slowly closes the door and the kids can hear muffled screaming from somewhere else in the bar as silco realises who vander ment by 'them'
Snap cut to powder/jinx still being his favourite because she helped ease him into the father role( since she was the only one not sus of him to start with) . I want to see older Mylo and claggor, I want to see vi tell ekko she can't go to a firelights meeting because silco grounded her for teaching powder to say fuck. I want to see zaun dads teaching lessons and competing for their kids affection. Just a nice funny au
Personally I'd pay good money to see a what if arcane edition. Nothing about the first 2.5 EPs changes but at the last minute it's just
Vander " silco you have fantastic timing, look after the bar and the kids for me while I'm gone"
Silco " the bar and the what?"

My request is : vi x female reader her mother is from piltover and her dad is from Zaun. The reader was friends with vi because they were the same age a few months before vander died she moved in with her mother the reason behind that is the death of her father. She had to cut contacts with the others because of her step father that doesn’t bother her so when she sees ekko she joys him and helps him build the firelight’s so when vi and caitlyn got captured by ekko she also reunites with vi
━ 𝐆𝐎𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐍𝐎𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄
Tumblr media
𝙥𝙖𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜(𝙨) - Vi x Fem!Reader 𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 - Cursing, angsty, fluff, crying, more fluff, mentions of shitty step dad, vi being sad
𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙 ? - Yeah/Nope
𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙧'𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙚 - Sorry this took a while! Tumblr makes me wanna beat my laptop up sometimes
Tumblr media
"You look.. good." "Yeah, you too." It was awkward, silent. Ekko having left after standing staring at the both of you avoid each others eyes. "So, you left." "Vi- fuck- Ekko didn't tell you anything, did he?" Vi stared at you, nose scrunching as a angry expression crossed her face.
"What's there to tell?" "A lot, actually. The main being, I didn't fucking leave by choice." You crossed your arms and shook your head. Ignoring the sudden drop in her gaze. "My step-dad. Only loved my mom, you were right-" You laughed slightly.
"He was a dick."
"My mom had a hard time choosing between us, I didn't want to make her. She was happy." You shrugged. "Even if I wasn't. What about you? Where've you been hiding out?"
You forced a laugh, rocking back and forth on your feet. Vi staring at you with slight shock, clenching her jaw together.
"Prison." She said simply. "Stillwater?" You then asked, she nodded. "Mm, Marcus had ties there. Didn't think... well shit." You stared into her silver eyes for a moment, both of you swallowing as a thick silence fell over you two again.
"How long you been out?" "A day-ish."
Silence again.
"How're you enjoying freedom?" "It's nice knowing you didn't leave us by choice." You laughed slightly, shrugging once again. "Nice knowing you aren't dead." Again you both nodded and went quiet, no words being spoken.
"So-" "I-" Both speaking at the same time, taking a step forward. "You can-" "You go-" Again, your mouths both snapping shut. Vi then pointed at you, watching you quietly nod.
"So... you miss me in there? Or have you spend the past... how many years, hating me?" You swallowed hard, staring at her with sad eyes. "Bit of both. I was angry, I didn't know-" "It's fine. I get it."
You looked down at your shoes, regretting your decision to ask in the first place. Shifting your weight back and forth as you teeter-tottered on your heels.
"What about you?" "Hm?" Your head shot up, realizing she was much closer than before. "What've you been up to?" "Helping Ekko, finding people who don't want Silco in power. Trying to keep Jinx on the right side."
"Pow?" "She doesn't go by that anymore." You stated clearly, looking away from her seemingly burning gaze. Getting closer.
"She's happy with Jinx." "You are?" "It doesn't matter what I think." You cleared your throat, Vi scratching messing with her fingers, or her hands instead of looking up at you. "Vi?" "Yeah?" "Did you atleast miss me?"
"...Yeah. Even though I was mad." "I missed you too." You smiled slightly, seeing a ghost of one of Vi's face. "We should... get back to Ekko soon." "He can wait a little longer. I had to wait forever."
Vi's hand finally reached out to yours, lightly grabbing your wrist before taking your hand in hers. Staring down at them. Hers just slightly bigger.
"I like what you'd done with your hair." You heard her laugh slightly, meeting your teary eyes with her own. "Yeah, I second that." You giggled as she twirled a some around her fingers, not minding when it it snagged slightly.
"Thanks." She hummed slightly before noticing the slight nervousness on your face. In reality your face was burning, just in temperature. "You okay?" "No." You answered quickly.
"I missed you." "Yeah, me too cupcake." Vi pulled you closer by the hand she was holding. Forcing you to wrap it around her waist, not that you put up much of a fight as your face squished into her chest.
Hand coming to pet the back of your neck, holding you close as tears fell from her eyes. Holding back any noise from passing her lips. Staying silent as the seconds passed.
"Vi?" "Yeah, yeah just hold on, okay?" You nodded against her, squeezing her tighter, feeling her body shudder and begin to lean towards you. A hiss leaving her lips before she began to silently sob.
"It's okay. I'm here now Vi." You leaned back and looked up at her. Feeling one of her tears falling onto your skin. "I'm here Vi, I'm here now." Your hand caressed her cheek, her eyes closing while she leaned against your touch.
"I'm here, and I'm not gonna leave again. I promise."

A Mothers Love
Tumblr media
“Vi, she’s too far gone.” Caitlyn, a Kirammin enforcer said as she held a gun to your daughter.
Jinx had taken you all, she had been given shimmer to save her life. Silco had met up with a counselor, you didn’t know about what.
You had been looking for Jinx, and you found her. She had her hair undone, her eyes red and she told you she made a mistake.
She then knocked you out, taking you hostage to where you and Silco had ended Vander all those years ago.
Jinx held her hands up, her innocent face sad as Vi looked at her sister scared. Caitlyn just glared, beginning to whirl up the gun.
“No, no, no.” Vi whispered, holding onto any hope.
Caitlyn glanced at her for a moment, looking back just as Jinx smirked and suddenly snatched the gun, getting over to her quickly and hitting her with the butt of it.
“Look out!” 
“Jinx!” You exclaimed, worried for her just as the enforcer fell to the ground unconscious.
“You see, now finish it.” Silco told Jinx, the girl wincing.
“Do not confuse her.” You told him, your husband paying you no mind.
“Damn it! Powder, wake up!” Vi yelled, Jinx looking around frantically as she didn’t know what to do or who to listen to.
She didn’t want this. She just wanted Vi to love her again.
“Remember who you are! I know you remember!” Vi continued yelling, her voice so close but so far away as everything blurred in her mind.
“Stop! You’re doing her more harm than good!” You yelled at Vi, the woman looking at you then back to her sister to see her looking frantic. Her eyes wide and waving the gun around.
Jinx was off in her mind, somewhere nobody could reach her as she heard everything.
“Picture Mylo!” Vi continued, Jinx holding her hands up just as Mylo, dead and gray pounced towards her.
“Claggor!” Vi continued, Jinx looking at the sickly gray boy she had killed.
“Vander!” Jinx saw the man, he looked so disappointed in her.
She didn’t want that. Please, no.
“Stop it! You’re hurting her! Can’t you see?!” You yelled. “Don't listen to her!” Silco joined in.
“Dad!”
“Mom!”
“Me!”
Jinx covered her head, trying to block out all the noise as she tried to find you. She did, but you were so far away.
She tried running, you were holding out your hand like you were waiting for her. She tried she really did. But when she got to you, just as she was about to grab your hand and hug you, you disappeared.
“Jinx! I’m right here!” You yelled, seeing what she was doing. She always did this, when things got bad she found you. Still wanting to be held like a child after a nightmare even as she got older.
She heard your voice, trying to find you before falling to the floor. She covered her head, almost crying as she wanted it all to end.
“No! No! No! Mom?!” Jinx yelled, trying to find someone.
You saw Silco pick up the gun, releasing the safety as he pointed it at Vi.
Your eyes widened, knowing if he shot her your daughter would never forgive him, either of you.
“No!” You yelled, going to take the gun away as you had slipped a hand out of your restraints.
But it was too late, Jinx heard the gun and snapped out of it.
She grabbed her pow-pow, yelling as she began shooting the barrel.
You all tried to get out of the bullets way, Vi and Silco dodging the best they could.
They finally stopped, Jinx breathing heavily as her gun powered down.
You coughed, Jinx snapping her eyes to you as she saw you lean back into your chair, your eyes wide.
Bullet holes in your chest.
No, no, no, no.
She couldn’t have. Could she? 
No. 
This wasn’t supposed to happen.
Not to you.
Please, she didn’t mean to. 
Not to her mom.
She slowly realized what she had done, she hurt you. Something she had never done before.
“No…Oh. Oh, no, no, no.” Jinx sobbed, quickly tossing her gun aside and running to you.
She fell to her knees in front of your chair, your head falling forward as she caught it in her palm.
“No, no, no. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to.” She apologized, crying as she placed her forehead to yours and held your borderline unconscious cheeks in her hands.
“It’s okay, Love…” You muttered, trying your best to smile and keep your eyes focused on your baby even if they wanted to close so badly.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…” Jinx kept repeating over and over, sobbing as she tried to help you.
She was always a mommy’s girl, never imagining hurting you.
“I never regretted you.” You stated, Jinx’s tears falling into your lap.
“Not for a moment.” You said.
“My beautiful, chaotic, bomb-loving daughter.” You continued, smiling a bit as Jinx sniffled.
“I never cared who you were…Powder, or Jinx. Your name never mattered. Because you were you.” You whispered, your voice suddenly leaving and failing you.
“Because…you were always my daughter. And you always will be.” You said, Jinx began to sob even harder if possible as Silco watched stunned. 
His daughter had shot his wife..
“Why are you crying? Don’t cry.” You told her. “I hurt you.” She sobbed, shaking her head. 
“Don’t cry. You’re too…perfect…to cry.” You whispered, your voice getting quieter before leaving altogether.
Along with you.
Jinx saw this, crying as she tried to get you to wake up.
She then found it was pointless, sobbing as her head dropped into your lap. 
Who would fix her now? You had always been there to pick up her broken pieces. So…what would she do now?
She cried with her head in your lap, well after your body went cold and Silco and Vi had gotten out of their chair and bounds.
Silco walked over to her, hesitating before placing his hand on her back as another round of sobs came.
“It’s okay, Jinx.” He tried reassuring her, Jinx shaking her head as she shook off his hand.
“No. It’s not. I hurt mama, all I am is a Jinx.” She sobbed, not lifting her head up from your lap.
What would she do now without her mom to pick up her pieces?

A Mothers Love
Tumblr media
“Vi, she’s too far gone.” Caitlyn, a Kirammin enforcer said as she held a gun to your daughter.
Jinx had taken you all, she had been given shimmer to save her life. Silco had met up with a counselor, you didn’t know about what.
You had been looking for Jinx, and you found her. She had her hair undone, her eyes red and she told you she made a mistake.
She then knocked you out, taking you hostage to where you and Silco had ended Vander all those years ago.
Jinx held her hands up, her innocent face sad as Vi looked at her sister scared. Caitlyn just glared, beginning to whirl up the gun.
“No, no, no.” Vi whispered, holding onto any hope.
Caitlyn glanced at her for a moment, looking back just as Jinx smirked and suddenly snatched the gun, getting over to her quickly and hitting her with the butt of it.
“Look out!” 
“Jinx!” You exclaimed, worried for her just as the enforcer fell to the ground unconscious.
“You see, now finish it.” Silco told Jinx, the girl wincing.
“Do not confuse her.” You told him, your husband paying you no mind.
“Damn it! Powder, wake up!” Vi yelled, Jinx looking around frantically as she didn’t know what to do or who to listen to.
She didn’t want this. She just wanted Vi to love her again.
“Remember who you are! I know you remember!” Vi continued yelling, her voice so close but so far away as everything blurred in her mind.
“Stop! You’re doing her more harm than good!” You yelled at Vi, the woman looking at you then back to her sister to see her looking frantic. Her eyes wide and waving the gun around.
Jinx was off in her mind, somewhere nobody could reach her as she heard everything.
“Picture Mylo!” Vi continued, Jinx holding her hands up just as Mylo, dead and gray pounced towards her.
“Claggor!” Vi continued, Jinx looking at the sickly gray boy she had killed.
“Vander!” Jinx saw the man, he looked so disappointed in her.
She didn’t want that. Please, no.
“Stop it! You’re hurting her! Can’t you see?!” You yelled. “Don't listen to her!” Silco joined in.
“Dad!”
“Mom!”
“Me!”
Jinx covered her head, trying to block out all the noise as she tried to find you. She did, but you were so far away.
She tried running, you were holding out your hand like you were waiting for her. She tried she really did. But when she got to you, just as she was about to grab your hand and hug you, you disappeared.

Vander gets such a bad rap as a dad. I even fell for the trap of assuming he wasn't a good dad to Powder because he understood Vi more. Maybe shyer kids aren't really his forte, sure, but he incorporated all her gadgets, too. He encouraged her skills. We didn't see him speaking to her directly because she wasn't the oldest, he was trying to guide Vi, because the other kids looked up to her. And the people of the Undercity looked up to Vander.
I even saw a theory that was suggesting that Vander saw evidence of Jinx in Powder early on (based on her not crying re parents, always fixated on Vi, not being very empathetic etc) and that that was his reason for not getting close to her.
Which is absolutely bs, and frankly insulting to Vander, plus cruel to Powder. Powder, who very much strikes me as a kid with BPD (whose symptoms worsened extraordinarily over time, especially when under the wing of Silco), is not evil or unfeeling. Her not crying about her parents when she was like 5 doesn't mean she was a monster, she latches onto Vi as a constant. She has codependency issues that need a lot of patience and care to help work through, and Vi struggles as both a big sister but also as a mother to Powder, but she's not prepared to be that because she's a child.
And to even SUGGEST that Vander would neglect a child because of their possible bpd is just. WHAT. The care style may have been different, but it was very much there. He knows that Vi is the only one who can give Powder comfort, he attunes to that quickly, so when he sees Powder so down, despite being given Vi's rabbit, yeah he figures out very QUICK that Vi must be doing something dangerous. HE WAS A GOOD DAD. He gave her her favourite drinks, he didn't push her, but he accepted her introvertedness and gave her care and shelter. Vander was SUCH a good dad.
As much as I love Silco and his fucked up trauma bonding style of raising Jinx as his daughter, he was not a BETTER father to Powder.
I know for a fact that when people take my side during all of my splits and intensive thoughts, it makes me much, much worse and more likely to lash out and become vitriolic than it does make me feel better. It might FEEL like vindication at the time, but the pain only intensifies. You cannot go through life, especially with BPD and bordeline symptoms, never being wrong. Healing REQUIRES struggle and pain, and Silco didn't want Jinx to heal because he didn't want to heal BECAUSE he so deeply believed that what happened to him was necessary for his growth and rebirth, so he pushed Jinx to the limit by accepting her fully and NEVER telling her she was wrong.
I'll be honest, I didn't believe that unconditional love was real because of my own issues with dealing with borderline symptoms. When you're used to being punished so hard for mistakes, you stop seeing it as possible for people to love you. You believe that you must be difficult to love. Other peoples' criticisms of you hurt so much worse, especially when you're young, and it feels like a knife in the back each time. But unconditional love doesn't mean that the person loving you doesn't get to say no, doesn't get to have boundaries. It's about loving someone and giving them chances to do better. About helping them see their mistakes and being with them through it. Not everyone can be that person for everyone, but that doesn't mean it isn't love.
Vi loved her sister, and Vander loved all his kids, but he definitely loved Powder, too. To even SUGGEST that he didn't love her because he recognized some kind of behavior that maybe reminded him of Silco, or just anything like that is preposterous. That's just not the kind of person Vander is. Not when we saw him anyway.
Silco trauma bonded with Powder/Jinx. He was also going through it, going through his own struggles with borderline symptoms, that probably manifested after Vander tried to drown him. He became fixated on that event, and it shaped him. In order to survive, Silco decided that that moment had deeper meaning, that because of it he could survive, that he was now stronger-- and when he saw what he perceived as happening to Powder as being similar to what he went through, all sense went out the window. He didn't really see Powder as her own person, but as an extension of himself. And it wasn't until much later that he saw her as a daughter rather than a mirror image. He did love her, I believe that, but it wasn't healthy for either of them. It was codependent, it was a trauma bond. Healthy isn't easy to come by in the Undercity, definitely not, but Silco essentially said yes to everything Jinx did, and likely when she was going through throes of mental breakdowns and flash backs, talking about how Vi betrayed her, he was very LIKELY agreeing with her, telling her that Vi abandoned her, that none of them cared about her, that only HE cared. I don't even believe that he was 100% maliciously manipulating her, there's definitely an aspect of that, but I figure because he thought Vi was dead, he absolutely believed his own con, because he had to believe that what happened to him was for a greater purpose. But that doesn't make him a better dad than Vander!!! Vander gave shelter and care and safety to his kids, he wanted to protect them forever and maybe should have trusted them with more jobs but that's a far cry from bad dad.
I will say that Vander wasn't a great leader-- sure, people followed him, but because he was a lapdog to the Enforcers, it definitely felt like betrayal. But he was a great father.
Silco? Not... dad material. And again, I adore the fuck outta Silco, his parent-child relationship with Jinx is so interesting and means a lot to me, but I recognize how bad it was for BOTH of them, really. Even if Silco had access to therapy, he wouldn't have sent Jinx to it or himself. Silco, however, was a much better LEADER than Vander. Better organization, always three steps ahead of everyone, always planning. Meticulous.
It really is a shame that they couldn't work together. I am so curious about what led to Vander attempting to drown Silco in the river... and if there could have possibly been another way. ;_;

A Vander x chubby/midsized fem reader who's insecure? She's trying to get better about how she views herself since Vander doesn't like the way she looks down on her body; so she buys some lingerie but she ends up hiding it since she thinks she doesn't look good, and Vander finds it? I love your work a lot by the way :))
-ASDFGIQRKL thank you dear follower 😭❤ I apologize profusely for this taking so long I've been...going through it *nervous laugh* BUT here we go and I hope you enjoy:
Tumblr media
VANDER X FEM!READER (chubby reader, body positivity, suggestive content)
-She sighs for the dozenth time, holding up to herself the two outfits she was trying to decide between in front of the chipped full length mirror. This was an important occasion after all, so she felt she had to look her best.
Should it be; the worn but still in good shape rust-red corseted corduroy dress, with embroidered trim along the deep V neckline and hems?
Or; the deep green and black, knee-length heavy cotton skirt and her good semi white blouse? Either would work with her clean boots and only unripped pair of stockings but which...?
Lowering them both, she stares forlornly at her thin t-shirt and shorts clad reflection, her belly, muffin top and all her thickness painfully apparent and laments, "Oh, it doesn't matter..."
"What doesn't matter?" came a deep voice from the doorway.
She glances to the side at the second reflection now visible, turning her head to properly look at the figure that just walked in and closed the door behind him, her face heating up; Vander smiles curiously at her, his own shirt completely unbuttoned and she has to fight back biting her lip. He comes up behind her and rests his broad hands on her shoulders, giving the top of her head a peck then catches her gaze in the mirror.
"Well...?" he asks, not dropping it.
Her eyes fall to the warped wood floor, "I...no matter what I wear it'll look...I'm still-"
"Hey, hey now-" he interrupts sternly, knowing all too well where she was going and shaking his head, "Love, we've talked about this. Ya know I hate it when you put yourself down 'n it just hurts you too."
"I know! But...I still just wish I could not be...ya know." She pats her belly for emphasis.
Vander turns her around to face him and gives his own 'dad bod' stomach a hearty slap, "You still think I'm attractive despite this ol' sixpack turnin' into, well, this. So what makes you think I don't find you to be the most gorgeous woman I've ever been lucky enough to know eh?"
She cracks a smile now herself, and he tilts her chin up with his knuckles, "You've been doin' better lately, not bein' so hard on yourself. I'm proud of ya for it. But ya gotta keep it up right? I'll keep tellin' ya as many times as needed you're beautiful got it?"
"Thank you, Papa Hound..." she grins, genuinely this time, and steps into his offered hug. Turning back to the mirror, she blows out a breath and holds up the skirt and blouse combo, "This one."
"Perfect," he nods, buttoning up his shirt to her silent disappointment, "Now let's get this show goin'."
After a lovely, relaxing and much-needed date, during which he'd only once; okay maybe twice technically, had to mumble apologies for having to take a moment to break up a dispute, they slowly make their way back towards home when she spies something in a barred store window that she'd normally ignore but today...
Ever observant, he notes her attention focused on something nearby and asks, "Everythin' alright love?"
"Yeah! Yeah just saw something interesting-" she panics but hides it, quickly trying to find anything else to point out and gestures to the food stand next door, "-on the menu! Maybe I'll grab some for the kids tomorrow."
Vander nods, "They'd like that. Better make sure they all get even shares or it'll be a squabble."
She laughs, assuring him she'd be completely fair, and they both continue the trip as she takes one last glance at the items she'd truly been studying...
The next afternoon, she stands in front of the mirror again, this time sporting a very different look. She blushes fiercely with a mixture of embarrassment, disbelief at her own boldness, and a streak of surprise at how well the skanty, black and red lingerie looks on her. Earlier she'd snuck back to her true target from the day before, the clothing shop she'd spotted this little number in the window of and after an awkward purchase where she'd tried to hide her face as much as possible, she'd dashed home to try it on, grateful that Vander was busy and the kids out somewhere. She'd also snapped up a bag of the spicy snacks from the stand next door to keep her cover story intact, and it wasn't completely a lie; she had been thinking of grabbing them a treat anyway.
Now she spins, checking how it looks and imagining the look on Vander's face when she stepped into view wearing...
The self-consciousness creeps back in as she sees how snug the lingerie is, and how her body shape is all the more glaringly evident. She curses herself silently for ever thinking this would work and wasting the money. Sighing, her shoulders droop-
Abruptly there's a rapid knocking on the door coupled with the voices of Mylo and Claggor calling her and talking loudly over each other. She yells to hold on, swiftly changing back into regular clothes. In her rush she curses, looking around before hurriedly stuffing the negligee into the first dresser drawer she sees and hurries out of the room, making a note to return to hide it elsewhere...
-Several hours later, Vander trudges into their shared room, exhausted from the long day and chaos of a fight that had erupted wherein the participants had refused to take it outside-so he'd 'helped' by tossing them out the door, earning them sore backsides and a couple month ban.
He kicks off his boots, then tugs his shirt over his head, tossing it in the pile next to a basket that served as a hamper. Still grumbling and cursing under his breath he slides the top dresser drawer open-
And his eyes widen, brow cocked in surprised curiosity at the garment he finds there that's most certainly not his. He pulls it out, finally realizing what the lacy, gauzy pieces of fabric are as heat rushes to his face-and other areas. How long had she had this? And how would it look on her in person instead of in the lovely, increasingly sinful images running through his head? He exhales in a shudder, feeling the blood quickly rushing downward, stunned at how much of an affect this alone had on him, and was starting to put it back when she walks in with a yawn.
"I swear, if those two have the balls to show up anytime soon I will-"
She halts, seeing him holding the lingerie and flushes fiercely, hand flying to her mouth and mumbling out a jumbled rush of excuses, "Oh! Oh Van I uh, ha, yeah I can explain it-it's just-I was gonna take it back it was j-just an experiment yeah but it doesn't work-I can't-"
In a couple strides he's in front of her, hands on her waist and pulling her against himself, thumbs running over her hips, leaning in and dropping his voice to that low, gruff octave he knew she enjoyed, "But love, ya can't take it back...not after what I may do to you with it..."
"Wait-r-really? You like it?" she sputters, "I mean, the problem is it...doesn't really work for...you know, me..."
Vander draws a deep breath, letting it out in a soft growl and she feels the goosebumps prick her skin from the almost feral gleam in his eyes, "Firstly, what did we talk about yesterday? Secondly..." he pulls her in closer and she gives a groan feeling how hard he already is pressed against her belly, the sound doing nothing to help this, "I think this is good enough proof I like the idea of it on ya, darlin'..and the only problem is you're not gonna be wearin' it for long after ya put it on...now, been a long day yeah? What say we get ready for bed..?"
At last her lingering pain begin to melt away as she sees not just the lust, but the sincere love in his gaze, and the doubt is replaced by a glow of confidence blooming in her chest and she smiles suggestively up at him, "I think that's a perfect idea..."

Silco!son X Jinx Platonic
I guess I never got around to posting this🤦
Being the son of Silco isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
When everyone was listening and following Vander you were seen as just some punk from the REALLY shitty part of town.
You would get picked on constantly, they didn’t care who your dad was. Vander would always keep the peace and no way would Silco rear his head while Vander was around to stop him.
You were always told you had a good heart like Vander, yet you are your fathers son. You can can easily swap that good heart for one of ice should the situation call for it.
You KNOW your father always has your back. Slowly your father gathered more followers and supporters.
He taught you to see that things were building up, and tension was on the rise.
Sometimes to clear your head you’d take long walks on the outskirts of town. Seeing the rich blue of the harbor and the crispy clean air filling your lungs always cleared your head.
It had a way of reminding you how far Zaun had come, and all the more they’ve yet to claim for themselves. Breathing the fresh air and seeing the ocean is what made you follow Silco. You now shared his dream of making Zaun a better place for everyone no matter what it would cost in the end.
After your father went to dispose of the man holding Zaun back from its rightful place at the surface. You prepared for the worst…only to have your father come home with young woman around your age (give or take a year or two)
Her name was Jinx and she was your new sister, you always went out of your way to make her feel welcome in the family
Whenever she had a nightmare (often) you’d sit next to her bed and hold her hand till she was able to fall asleep again.
She’ll sit with you every morning as you help her braid her hair into her iconic twin braids.
Every night undoing them as well and helping her wash her hair.
When your adopted sister got older she really wanted to get a tattoo for her birthday but she was nervous.
So to make Jinx feel more comfortable you agreed to get a tattoo with her. So your father organized the appointment.
Dad asked you to take Jinx to the appointment since he had been busy with other matters at the time.
Jinx was shaking she was so nervous. You offered her your hand to hold as the artist started up his needle.
With each swirl of the clouds on her arm going across her shoulder and down her back. With each curve of each cloud Jinx’s grip grew tighter.
You feared she might break your fingers she was gripping your hand so tight, but you forced out a smile so your sister wouldn’t know anything was wrong.
Jinx was your sister as far as you were concerned, and nothing beat the smile on her face as she eager rushed through the door to show your dad the new tattoos.
You are always the first person she goes to when she’s made an upgrade or tinkered together a new gadget.
Nothing more heart warming than seeing her bright eager smile out of the blue.
Some nights when her head feels all fuzzy, and she keeps seeing and hearing things she’d rather not see or hear. Jinx will seek you out in your room.
She’ll shyly wake you up by walking her fingers across your arm then, lightly poking your cheek until your eyes open.
“C-can I sleep in here tonight?” Jinx asks looking into your eyes before quickly turning them away. Then quickly glancing back up into your eyes.
Groggy and still tired, you simply grip the corner of your blanket and lift it up. Opening your arms to Jinx, allowing her to crawl in with you.
She always hugged you like a teddy bear, and you always traced the tattoos on her shoulder and lightly scratched her back to comfort her into sleep.
Jinx never really pranked you, she liked you too much to subject you to her tricks.(doesn’t mean she won’t tease you when the opportunity presents itself)
[skipping ahead]
When Silco died, you were tied to a chair at the table unable to do anything.
Fighting against your bindings, you struggled to get free only to be met with the shocking sight before you. Silco, your father, dead. With jinx holding the gun, finger on the trigger.
When she untied you, you lunged at her pinning her to the ground, you could see tears in her eyes through your own.
You pulled Jinx up into a tight hug. Stroking the back of her head as she cried into your shoulder.
“I-I-I’m sorry” jinx stammpers choking on her breath
“It’s okay, it’s okay Jinx.” Pulling away only to look into her eyes.
“Powder killed our father Jinx, not you.” You tighten your hold around your sister until she loosens her grip around you.

You've mentioned points you like about Silco? Is there anything you dislike?
Oh lmao, I have a whole bunch. But that's mostly dislikes on the writing choices - and my own politics and biases coming into play. 
They will come into play, of course, because the consumption of art is inherently filtered through one's own biases. It's why I enjoy the series so much, because each take tells me so much about the viewer's own life experiences and worldview (CaitVi is adorable vs CaitVi is faux-woke Copaganda, Silco was a manipulative shit vs Silco is the best dad ever, Jinx blowing up the Council was an act of irredeemable terrorism vs. a reckoning both justifiable and overdue etc.)
But regarding Silco:
One of the factors I feel weakened Silco's character was the lack of coherent plan re: the nation of Zaun. A five-point manifesto etc that would detail what he wants for Zaun as an independent nation - and explain why people like Sevika backed him in the first place.
We get a brief chickenshit version during his parley with Jayce (amnesty, access to the trade routes via the Hex Gates etc). But the very amnesty concept is bulldozed by Jayce's demand for Jinx, and Silco just folds and laments in a way that's completely out of character.
However, I blame that less on the character than on Riot games in general. Anyone familiar with their MO knows they write their revolutionaries as spiteful assholes with no end-goal beyond ~*chaos! mwahaha*~ 
Silco is no exception to this. They likely also knew that giving him a concrete plan for Zaun's independence would take away from the villain status he's meant to occupy, and make audiences start to question, "Why is this guy actually making sense?"
It happened for a lot of the audience anyway. But much like Magneto in X-Men and Eric Killmonger in Black Panther, the narrative quickly gives him lots of Kick the Dog moments as if to remind us that the guy actually bothering to champion for respect is soooo evol whereas the centrist Papa Wolf type (ilu Vander, but dude…) who is preaching patience and passivity while their people are literally assaulted in the street is squarely in the right.
Of course, we're told the story through Vi's and Powder's perspective, so the man who kidnapped their dad won't win any brownie points. But the centrism-is-good/all-we-need-is-love narrative is deeply on brand for Riot. Heck, even Screen Junkies has called out their 'very fine people on both sides' style of storytelling. As if a Fair Cop with *misfit syndrome* from an immensely privileged background and a bunch of pampered pricks at the top of the social ladder are somehow equal in their level of suffering to a group of outcasts whose literal air and water is poisoned thanks to their indifference. 
Jayce is interesting in that he's clearly meant to be middle to upper middle class. He's also the placeholder for many of the engineers and artists within Arcane's production team itself, so his struggles to leave a mark and break through social barriers for the sake of recognition mirror their own.
It's a sweet underdog tale, and compelling in its own right. But then they have Jayce inadvertently serving as the shining innovator foil to Silco's dark opportunist. And that's where the comparison falls flat because a boy from humble beginnings, but still in Piltover's inner-fold, is nowhere near the same as a man whose whole character is typified by poverty, corruption, and ostracism. 
It's why Viktor serves as a much better parallel to Jayce (also the whole sciencebros thing is cute.)
Meanwhile, the popularity of CaitVi often tends to automatically exempt Caitlyn from blame, because she's not manipulative or fame-hungry, just ignorant. By the end *Her Eyes Have Been Opened* (and possibly her thighs, but I digress...) However, ignorance is by definition both a privilege and a danger, especially if it's ignorance at the expense of someone else's suffering. I guess in S2 they'll maybe low-key 'punish' her for it with (possible spoiler - Cassandra Kirraman's death), but we'll cross that bridge for her character arc when it happens.
Back to Silco though. Development into his Nation of Zaun dream was sorely lacking beyond wordy abstraction. I get that they wrote him as a 'svengali' type, so verbal thaumaturgy is his shtick. But if they really wanted him to be a 'sorta villain' as opposed to a full-blown one, then nuance re: his lifelong mission would've gone a long way. Ditto for him and Jayce being subtle mirrors re: the heights and depths of innovation, which didn't work, and which made the final parley scene feel kinda trite.
I, of course, welcome counterarguments. Just keep it polite<3

Different Characters I think of when I think of what kind of Parents TMNT would be
Leonardo
Tumblr media
These are the different characters I think of when I imagine what kind of Father Leo would be if he ever had children and I am going to explain my reasonings. Let me know if you agree!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
When I imagine Leonardo as a father, I can see him being a strict, serious, and very traditional type of father who also tries to be understanding and is a very overprotective mother hen as well as caring. Like these three characters.
Simba, Tenzin, and Twilight are all men of duty, responsibility, and honor, and so is Leo. I can Imagin Leo trying to live up to his father's legacy, like Simba and Tenzin, and I can see him being all serious, and working hard on his missions like Twilight.
Sometimes that may get in the way of his attention towards his children but at the end of the day, his children come first and if they need him, Leo will be there in a heartbeat.
Agree or don't agree?
Tumblr media
Also if Leo had a wife, I imagine it would be someone like Chang'e from "Over the Moon" As graceful as a swan but fun and also competitive. Just wanted to throw that in there.
Raphael
Tumblr media
Different characters I imagine when I think of Raphael as a father.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Raphael, I believe, will be the perfect dad. A dad everyone wants. Like these three characters. He would defiantly be the overprotective kind of father, but he would also be understanding, loving, supportive, and a bit wise.
Raphael would be the kind of father who would put family and their safety before anything else, like Mufasa, Triton, and Vander. His temper may sometimes get the best of him, like Triton, but he tries to keep it under control, knowing that would not do any good. Instead, he tries to talk to his children and get them to understand, like Vander does with Vi.
Monalisa
Tumblr media
Characters I think of when I imagine Monalisa as a mom.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Monalisa, I believe would be a loving but strict mother, who would contently teach her children about her culture and believes, like Neytiri and Pocahontas. She would also be a fierce protector of her children and harm anyone who dares tries to harm her babies. Like Neytiri.
She would understand and supportive, like Pocahontas, loving and caring, like Esmeralda but she will also be strict and fierce like Neytiri.
Donatello
Tumblr media
Characters I think of when I imagine Donatello as a dad.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Donnie would 100% be a nerdy dad. He will be a tiny bit strict when needed to be, but mostly he is pretty laid-back and supportive. He will also be teachable, always teaching his children as much as he can. He will also protect and defend his children when he feels the need to.
April
Tumblr media
Characters I think of when I imagine April as a mom.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
April would be a hardworking but easily stressed mom, who always has her children's best interests at her. She constantly nags and lecture, but it comes from a loving and caring place.
Mikey
Tumblr media
Characters I think of when I imagine Mikey as a father.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You guys can disagree with me on this but I Imagin Mikey being the very wise yet very funny and goofy dad. He is not strict, but he does lecture and shares wisdom. He allows his children to find his own way and guide them along the way. Mikey feels that most lessons, are found through experience and mistakes. He is also very supportive and understanding.
Tumblr media
And if Mikey had a wife, she would be a laid-back, easy-going, wise, but rowdy and cool woman, like Kyoko.
Shinigami
Tumblr media
Characters I think of when I imagine Shinigami as a mother.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If Shinigami was a mother, I imagine her to be doting and loving to her children, always spoiling them rotten. She would be very motherly and would love being a mom, more than anything else in the world. Like Mikey, she is nowhere near strict and lets her children figure out their own way.
If anything, she encourages their mischievous and rebellious nature, and is always challenging them with games that teach them but also, entertains her.
And if you ever mess with Shinigami's children, she will always be quick to punish you for it. Even if it is a small insult.
Karai/Miwa
Tumblr media
Characters I think of when I imagine Karai as a mother.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If Karai was a mother, she would be a great mother but I, (and I am pretty sure all of us would agree) that she would struggle with it. Never having a mother herself and not raised by the best parental figure, Karai would have a hard time knowing how to parent.
She would be strict and a little distant from her children, as well as overprotective. She would try to be loving and kind like she always imagin her mother would be, but sometimes it would not go as plan.
However, despite her strictness, Karai's love for her children was undoubtably fiercely strong. She just has a hard time showing it but at the end of the day, she would do anything for her children, to keep them safe, even sacrifice her own life, like her own mother did before her.
So, what do you guys think? Did I pick the right characters for TMNT as parents or what?
