If I May Be So Bold As To Present You With This Mental Image.

If I may be so bold as to present you with this mental image.

Toddler Oscar: *presenting Oz with a drawing of the two of them hugging*

It makes me sad when people think that Jinx’s creativity is just part of her mental illness like it’s all just part of her being “crazy” when Jinx/Powder has always been shown to be a colourful and creative person from the beginning.

Vi’s flashbacks in episode 6 show us how even before her parents died, back when she was basically a baby, Little Powder coloured on the walls and drew pictures of monsters.

Her love of bright colours is something she carries with her throughout her childhood.

Her room at Vander’s is similarly full of colours and drawings, she has a whole box of crayons that she seems to use on everything, not just her bombs but basically every surface around her.

We even see hints that Jinx/Powder has a love of mechanics that goes beyond just bomb making.  She’s excited to find the Valdiani at Jayce’s lab and she’s already talented enough to build in entire arcade game in a basement, her shooter game also show how much she loves drawing and colour outside of just decorating her weaponry. 

Powder/Jinx was always an artist, an inventor and a creator, she has always loved colouring the world around her. It’s an innate part of her personality, it not just “lol crazy Jinx is crazy”. It’s actually part of her character’s tragedy. She’s so talented and creative, Vi remembers little Powder lighting up their dark home and adding colour to their grey world but the circumstances of growing up in Zaun meant that she never got to be an artist or inventor or anything like that, instead she’s just left to be a part of the endless cycle of violence in Zaun and Piltover.  

I love how this is the painting Mel has over her bed in Piltover, a painting she made of this formative moment in her life. It’s really powerful
