Caitlyn
Tumblr media
She will go into protective mode immediately.
She is by your side as much as you’ll allow her, getting you everything you need and more.
She will buy you sweets and get you your favorite drink every day during your recovery.
Will be giving you a lot of face kisses when she gives you something or does something you can’t do at the moment.
If anyone gives you the pity look and starts treating you differently she is glaring at them with a stare so hard and cold they stop immediately. Don’t say anything just half, turn around, and walk away.
Ekko
Tumblr media
He will immediately check you over for any other bruising or cuts as soon as the news is broken.
He’s extra doting during your recovery, many kisses and cuddles, will fret over whether or not you’re actually comfortable laying with him.
He’s not the tallest individual so if he can’t get something for you, he is asking the other Firelights to get it for you.
On that topic, when he’s not around he has asked several of the Firelights to not smother you but stay near in case you need something.
Just super sweet and helpful during your recovery all around.
Jinx
Tumblr media
She is immediately asking who hurt you and when you reveal that it was your own clumsiness, she takes a breath and jokes about it.
She will try to act like it’s no big deal but always has you in the peripheral of her vision.
She’s not as good as she thinks she is at hiding her hovering habits during this time.
She is making and stealing you so many pretty things during this time just to see you smile.
She will also do your hair for you if it’s long enough to style and she is joining you in the bath to wash and brush it.
Silco
Tumblr media
When you explain what happened, he will act like he’s scolding you but in reality it’s simply a rouse to disguise his concern. It’s not easy at the best of times, much less when you’re injured.
He will be giving you the best medicine available for any pain.
He’s also making you teas that are supposed to help soothe pain as well. Where he got such high quality tea? He won’t tell you but it’s there.
It’s also like he can read your mind because if you even think of getting something it’s already on the table in front of you.
You’re also not going to work for the entirety of your recovery. It doesn’t matter if you work for him or someone else. If you work for someone else and they refuse to be accommodating, fine you’ve got a new job with Silco waiting for you when you’re better.
Viktor
Tumblr media
He is absolutely worried for you but understands how annoying it can be to have people try to do things for you because you’re in pain.
He will only get things for you if you ask and he is happy to do so.
He will massage your shoulder if it starts to hurt from the sling.
Is giving you alternative pain meds to try if the ones you have aren’t working.
He will also hold ice to your elbow so you don’t have to since it can be a pain.

Zaun Flexes Some Soft Influence in Piltover
Tumblr media
A lot can be and has been said about the way Zaun's aesthetics changed under Silco's rule, especially in terms of fashion. It's clear that a portion of Zaun is economically doing better and wearing clothes that emulate Piltovan fashion, but the same can be said for Piltover. I noticed during the Progress Day Charity Gala that many of the guests (investors) that attended it weren't dressed in neither rigid finery as the Councilors, nor the style Piltovans that attended the Council's court processions pre-timeskip.
Tumblr media
The guests actually seemed to be clumsily applying Zaun's aesthetics to their outfits.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Let me explain. One of the most concrete differences between Zaun and Piltover is that Piltover has the money for well made geometric symmetry in their fashion. In Zaun, most people live in such poverty where salvageable clothes are sewn together creating an uneven appearance to their outfits. Little Powder's literally wearing two different pants sewn together. Even with the rise of Silco's Shimmer empire, there's still an adherence to asymmetry, except it's more intentional rather than byproduct of scarcity. For characters like Silco, it's woven into the seams, straps, buttons, and wraps his figure, which are the portions that hold his clothes together.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
At the Gala we see many of the guests in outfits that attempt to incorporate asymmetry superficially. Some guests wear outfits with a sleeve missing, or wear an arm sleeve instead, other are wearing faux-shoulder guards similar to the ones that Zaunites wear. I noticed one woman wearing garters one side of her leotard down to her legs to sort of look like tights. There are some that wear their make up, like eye shadow, just a little off in symmetry, one eye bigger than the other. Some guest apply face paint, but nothing permanent or intricate like the tattoos found in Zaun. They also use rich colors, that aren't available (at least not in large quantities) in Zaun.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
At least one guest wore a choker similar to Jinx's own, except Jinx doesn't wear a choker, her tube top's collar is just ripped and worn out. A lot of this seems like they saw the end product, but didn't understand why or how asymmetry persists in Zaunite fashion.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Curiously, Amara seems to emulate Zaunite aesthetics a little better than the rest of the crowd. She wears multiple earrings that don't match in size or placement, her gems look imperfectly cut (maybe topaz?), and she wears a thick band of gold necklaces. Her outfit in general matches most of the cut of the Councilors, but her jacket collar is off, the waistline of her pants are off, and the hem of her jacket are all tailored to be off. It's interesting because she appears to be one of the older characters in the show (outside of Heimerdinger) and we know the least of her origins. Amara is another post for another day though.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It seems that Zaunite culture has gained influence Piltovan society over the time skip, which isn't suprising. There's a funny loop where the poor try to copy the rich, and improvise to make up for the difference. The rich see the creativity in the improvisation and tend to copy that for their outfits for leisure activities, but more dressed up. Then the poor see that and it all goes back and forth. On top of that, Zaunite culture seems to be more accessible than Piltovan. In Piltover, people enjoy concerts in opera halls, while Zaunite music is out on the street and seems readily available for jukeboxes and phonographs. Within 7-10 years of Silco's reign it seems Zaun's influence has managed to reach further into Piltover than most notice, and it makes me wonder how far that influence has gone past the border.

someday I'll get around to finishing my essay but for now I just wanna say that one very limiting aspect of Arcane's writing is the way it never supersedes taking the nation state as a legitimate form of analysis when talking about liberation
which is to say that lots of people have nations that oppress them
and everyone we see except the council (minus Jayce, because we do see him get oppressed) is living in a nation that oppresses them
and Silco unfortunately fails to un-reify his mind and takes for granted that economic conditions as dictated by Piltover will need to continue in some shape or fashion because he never got the chance to meaningfully engage with other forms of analysis, leading him to conceptualize a form of liberation that leaves the material conditions of most of the populace intact (since he would have in theory had the ability to do much more for the broader populace under his rule if he wanted to; what ultimately changes material conditions is not economic power as articulated in money, but labor, and he had enough people who believed in him to rally enough labor to that cause)
EDIT: re: Ekko and Jinx, totally agree, but I think their lack of ability to give their alternate articulations a broad audience (Ekko because he's forced into hiding and Jinx because she only articulates her struggles relatively narrowly post-timeskip) it feels like the show is gesturing at something but whether or not it'll commit to it is yet to be seen

There's alot of things I love about Arcane but one thing I love alot is how they dealt with the leadership of Zaun under Vander/Silco.
They didn't take a cliche route of "Everything was great under the good guy but everything changed once Mr. Bad guy came along :(((("
Vander's rule
Tumblr media
Under Vander, Zaun is first protrayed as a relatively peaceful era that while still in poverty at least people aren't mindlessly killing each other. However we get the notion that it's the enforcers who keep the peace, not Vander himself. When something goes wrong in topside, enforcers immediately come crashing down as they please. The citizens of the undercity want to fight, very understandable, but Vander chooses to enforce the status quo, so as to prevent a war. This makes people question their loyalty and even some leave him behind.
Vander's rule was basically a slow death to undercity because of his (reasonable) inaction. The Undercity was never going to florish under him unless the council grew a heart (which never was going to happen).
Tumblr media
Now for Silco, in Zaun yes there is a drug going around that can cause tumors and fuck someone up BUT the economy of Zaun has improved under Silco. Also, enforcers never dare to step foot into Zaun (except for Marcus and Caitlyn).
His methods, while cruel, were the reason why the council even decided to negotiate to Zaun being finally realized. The reason why it failed wasn't because someone purposefully fucked his plans up but due to how he couldn't give up the one person needed for peace.
Arcane shows the realistic pros and cons of each of the two methods of leadership which is such a breath of fresh air that was needed.

Silco, Vander, and Grace for the Ones Who Hurt Us the Most
Sometimes I feel like we all really need to sit with the fact that Silco was ready, willing, and wanting for Vander to return to his side after Vander tried and failed to kill him. What Vander did was a genuine life altering act of betrayal that Silco had to live with the mental, emotional, and medical consequences for years after. You can bet if Jinx hadn't shot Silco, the river toxins would've gotten him just a little later. And in spite of the ways Vander's actions ruined his life, that Vander admits to even (but doesn't apologize for), Silco rationalized it just as much for Vander as he did himself.
Silco decided that the man he loved the most nearly killed him (and in a way is still killing him) for a greater purpose, which didn't make everything okay, but it made it reasonable. And this rationalization has bled into every aspect of his life because the way Silco treats Zaun is the way he treats himself. If you're weak the people who love you and you love back will hurt you. They are right to permanently alter the trajectory of your existence to make the right calls, because as long you survive it, you will be stronger. He's made Shimmer the lifeblood of Zaun, because Silco is literally dependent on it to live as well. It works for him, so it works for Zaun.
The most warped part is, Silco was mostly right! He had violent rise in Zaun and completely changed the course of its development. Yet he managed to create a Zaun that couldn't be cowed or bullied either economically or militarily by Piltover the way it was in the past. I can't help but think how it all must twist and burn, because if Silco understood he was succeeding at the impossible, then doesn't that mean it all reinforced his logic around Vander? That this man you loved hurt you in a way that can't be taken back for the rest of your life, and he was right to do it? So that means Silco was right to change, to want to be back by Vander's side, because he was the one who needed to reinvent himself to be worthy of control, right?
No matter the success Silco reaped he had to recognize the dissonance between this logic and reality, because despite the bastard he could be, Silco would never do any of what was done to him onto Jinx. Sure Silco would simulate his traumas into life lessons and heavily sanitized rituals, but he never betrayed her or abandoned her when she became detriment to his position. Obviously Vander also never gave up on his kids either (#cinematicparallels), but we don't know if Silco was ever in a position to betray someone the way Vander did him, or if he ever wanted to prior to it. So even as Silco recognizes that Vander changed to protect the children he loves so much, he must wonder if the way Vander and he loved eachother just wasn't it enough? If the way Silco cared for Vander was reciprocal, a deep love whether romantic or platonic, then why wasn't Silco afforded a similar grace to stay by his side?
Silco had to live with all these contradictions and still chose to embrace Vander's memory. In a complete contrast to Vander, Silco didn't obscure who Vander was to Zaun politically or personally. Silco allowed a statue of Vander to stand, and went to it for comfort, he regularly talked about his life with Vander before and after the betrayal with Jinx. Meanwhile, from what the audience can see, Silco's presence was almost fully hidden from the newest generation sans the scar Silco gave him, which Vander hides with a bracer. All I can end up thinking is that must be easier for Silco to keep loving Vander like this, it's how he gives himself the grace for it.

My iPad broke and one of my simps got me a new one, along with a new pen.
Tbh it’s been so long since I got to draw Silco and Xylia…I couldn’t draw for almost 3 months and I’m so rusty. I missed these two so much and thankfully my story is safely backed up.
3 months of lost ideas and 3 years worth of artwork gone 😭
