Simp890jinx - My Mind Isin The Clouds

Before the first season of Arcane premiered Riot released this interactive visual novel for the Riot x Arcane event. The setting was a hybrid of LoL and Arcane's universe, Piltover literally on top of Zaun, Cait is the Sheriff, but characters like Silco exist. The whole premise for the story is that Jinx stole some hextech and tapped into the Arcane oand opened a rift between worlds.

That's a lot. Personally I enjoyed this more to just see some characters out in the wild. Silco gets to be his charming self to you, the self-insert reader that's trying to find the culprit of the heist, which he knows was his kid.

Here's Jayce hating on Silco for something Jinx did.

This came out before the show did, so it's interesting to see how the game wants us perceive the characters' dynamics before we get further depth from the show. Most of it's related to Jinx because she makes herself the center of controversy.

For characters like Vi, who's already an enforcer that works directly under Sheriff Caitlyn in this world, she's clearly over Jinx's actions and wants to squash any further escalations.

Sevika is just as harsh and plainly sick of Jinx. I do find it interesting that the novel makes it clear tha Sevika believes that Jinx deserves some kind of punishment, though Jinx did endanger them all by ripping realities into eachother.

The only sympathetic voice outside of Silco in this story comes from Viktor, who after finding out Jinx was responsible for the Rift between realities asks you to remember that she's a real person that lived a life just like him. He goes so far as to contemplate another way to solve the situation and avoid a confrontation that may end with terrible consequences. (It's wild because the show then dedicates a whole scene to him defusing one of her bombs).

My favorite part is near the end where Silco tries to stop Jinx from harnessing anymore Arcane energy because it threatens to upend their reality.

I WISH they got to talk like this to eachother in the show, but so much was happening already. Even better Jinx gets the last words in and it justlays out what's ALWAYS been there.

This scene helped me understand that Jinx was always going to fire her rocket at the council, because she and Silco have both always been motivated to by power. They both know what it's like to be perceived as "weak" and they way it destroyed their lives respectively. It's kind of the reverse of what Mel and Ambessa have going on, you've got the diplomatic intrigue parent and the militarily minded daughter who wants to go further and absolutely will when you're not looking. And that's always been the thing with Jinx, if you give her any form of power, either a gun, a grenade, a rocket, or even magic she will take it and she will use it.

Right after this confrontation you have to defeat Jinx with the Power of Friednship or something (it's been a while). But even as put an end to the near calamity Jinx created there's at least one voice before it ends affirming Jinx's personhood.

It's weird honestly, Jinx didn't turn into vapor or anything, the story's pretty vague about what happens as you try to defeat her.

Well the novel's good when it's good anyway.

Que me dices quieres que haga dibujitos de ella ajjaja y vi celosa en el fondo oh también tengo un headcanon de que jinx rescata o conoces de alguna manera seraphine y ella le tiñe el pelo y la hace escapar para que silco no le haga nada

The theory that Orianna is Singed’s daughter leads to the delightful idea of Singed and Silco arranging play dates for baby Jinx and baby Orianna.

“Silco loves Jinx” and “Silco’s relationship with Jinx is unhealthy and manipulative” are both true statements.

The thing is, Silco doesn’t manipulate Jinx for the weapon and her explosives like some fandom thinks he does. 

Silco manipulates Jinx because he loves her in his own twisted way but after Vander’s betrayal he’s terrified of getting hurt and being left alone again. So he resorts to some pretty twisted and extreme behaviours to keep his daughter with him.

So he convinces Jinx that it’s them against the world, everyone betrays them. There’s an extent to which Silco genuinely believes this, but he’s also desperate to keep Jinx close to him because who else does he have? Jinx is all his family and the only real emotional connection he has.

His love for Jinx is genuine but it’s equally fucked up. 🤷🏻‍♀️
