How I’m talking about how monumentally important and emotionally poignant and powerful it is that Silco went from “Jinx is perfect” to “you’re perfect” when Jinx was going through her biggest identity crisis, torn between “Powder” and “Jinx” - it’s all about the unconditional love, about being loved and accepted and embraced wholly not despite your flaws and fucked up parts, but including them; she’s perfect, whoever she is right then and there - not who she was or could have been, but who she chooses to be right now!!!! This line deserves every single ounce of hype it generated MY GOD!!!!!!!!

Listen, I will not hear any slander about this line. Based on what she says to Vi right after - “I thought you could love me the way you used to, even though I’m different” - what Silco says to her is exactly what she has been yearning to hear: it doesn’t matter whether she is “Powder” or “Jinx”, she wanted someone to love her without constraints, full and unconditional love and acceptance. Vi obviously loves her very much but her major blunder here is that she couldn’t let go of that image of “Powder” from before, when her sister has made it pretty clear that she is no longer the Powder she remembers (but that she still yearns for her unconditional love, none-the-less). That is where Vi lost her, and where Silco demonstrated a trope that works best with villains, especially this kind: “I love you, all the beautiful and ugly and broken parts.” Idk about y’all but there is something healing about this notion - in a world that often tells us we need to love ourselves before anyone else can love us... to hear that you’re perfect, you, right now, including all of your flaws, is cathartic.

I best save the rest of my thoughts for after my rewatch, though.
