Vi And Jinx - Tumblr Posts
They really had this argument every five minutes:
Vi: Whenever I scold Jinx now, I use the royal “we” so she doesn’t feel ashamed.
“We don’t eat that. We don’t destroy that,” I say.
It’s as if I, too, have a problem with eating glitter or blowing up entire cities and she and I are working on our problems together.

CATRA’S ARCANE VERSE –
01. orphaned as a baby, picked up by a tall, gangly looking women with long black hair that always wears a mask to hide scars. this version of shadow weaver also 100% did not adopt catra to love her, she trained catra at a young age to streeth fight, parkour, and steal above all else. zaun’s shadow weaver has a small network of teenager and children that steal and watch the streets for her. catra is merely only one of the BEST .
02. and depending on the jinx ( @tornvoid probably doesn’t mind being the main jinx lmaooo ), catra leaves shadow weaver behind to join silco where she feels very slightly LESS used because she develops a close friendship with jinx and when they’re working together – it’s really impossible to stop whatever it is they’re about to do.
03. for those that know spop, catra’s personality is very strongly going to be wasteland catra – the ‘i’ve lost everything, i have nothing to do lose, so you can’t effect me’ attitude.
Prom season for pow-pow
Jinx: I don't want to look "pretty." I want to look otherworldly and vaguely threatening.
These valentines day skins have me in a chokehold
The crux of the matter is: Vi loves her sister.
She painted her love in blood on the stone walls in Stillwater; red and dark like fresh blood from scraped knees she patched on Powder so many times before, like the blood soaking the blanket they wrapped her sister in her first moments alive, before being laid in Vi's arms. In those days, the bruises on her ribs and her chest, her sides and her jaw, were still in the shape of a P, in the shape of her name as Vi repeated it to herself over and over, take care of Powder, get back to Powder, where is Powder-
It wasn't soon enough, it was eventually but they changed shape, into a baton, a boot, a fist, the blood soaking into the spaces between the stones, where Vi couldn't see anymore. Her chest hardened with it, the name harder and harder to dig out through the stone.
Until. The crack seeing the scribble on Caitlyn's report, the break, the shattering, at Jinx's wide eyes that Vi would always recognise in a face that she did and didn't at once. The quiver in her sister's voice when she asked are you real and how Vi didn't even think because hasn't she thought she's seen a flash of blue in the dark those first months, a voice calling her name in the days spent in isolation? She couldn't have known, not until Jinx ripped into herself on the floor of the cannery, she couldn't but she should have.
The smell of gunpowder is still heavy in the air, but Jinx's sobs stopped. She's eerily quiet, a more terriying feat than her anger, than her tears and her begging and apologies, her face broken up, features contorted into pain, into grief Vi can't see but she can imagine easily.
The ropes tight against her chest and arms dig painfully when Vi tries to breathe in, to calm her racing heartbeat, to hear anything over the roaring thrum of her pulse in her ears. She can smell blood, but she doesn't know where from, whether it's Silco's, mixed with the scent of gunpowder, whether it's her own from the gap between her teeth, the small open wound she feels tender on the back of her head. She thinks it's dried blood, matting her hair, not fresh, but the smell is so strong, metallic and nauseating, and Vi isn't sure.
Or-
Her eyes fall on Caitlyn, on Caitlyn's still form stretched out on the grimy floor and Vi can't look, she doesn't want to. Because when she does, she can't tell whether Caitlyn's chest is rising at all, whether the darkness around her head, the part of the floor hidden in the shadows, is her hair spread out across the concrete or a puddle of blood. The rope cuts into her muscles because Vi can't help the strain, she can't help pushing herself to the edge of the seat, the need to get up, get out, to check whether Caitlyn is breathing, whether she can feel that warm breath against her hand, rising goosebumps on her arms like Caitlyn's closeness does.
Her face is turned away, hidden in the dark, so Vi can't even see her softened features, lines she thought sharp at first but can't call them that in her mind now at all. All of Caitlyn is gentle, too tender to be laid out on the cold filthy floor amongst the iron scent of blood and the heavy smokey fear dripping off the walls, she should have never been here. But she was, because of Vi, because everything comes back to the stone in Vi's chest, to the crack inside it that she will never patch up, that she refuses to patch up.
A scrape of a chair against the floor; Jinx drops on it heavily, only the glimpse of the pink letters painted on the back before she's there, before Vi can't look away. Her sister looks empty, with hollow gaze, drained and exhausted like a child after a tantrum, but the toxic glow of her pink eyes makes the image more insidious, more sinister.
Vi should be shocked, she should be crushed, conflicted. And she is, her mind works so slow, the shock and stupor jammed between the cogs, and the bile on the backs of her teeth is so thick and bitter with fear, with Caitlyn's still chest, with the pulse in her ears making it impossible to hear whether there are any soft, quiet breaths coming from her direction.
But then there is something missing - the conflict.
"Jinx," she says, thick saliva coating the insides of her mouth. Jinx flinches at the name; it doesn't change anything. "It's okay. We can leave. We can."
Her eyebrows scrunch, a line between them that Vi knows means Powder would be holding back tears, the twitch in her cheek that means the same. But then she flinches again, more abrupt and harsher, the turn of her features becoming angrier as she looks to the side at something Vi can't see. "I don't." Her voice is angry, spitting out the words, but when she turns back to Vi there is none of that anger there. Her pink eyes glow with something deep and dark, tendrils of despair. "I can't trust you."
It hurts, the words hurt, but so does Vi's hand, as if it could still burn painfully from the contact with the soft skin of her sister's cheek, the force of the slap making her own palm sting. "No," Vi agrees.
Jinx looks at her with wide tearful eyes, the hurt and the hope hidden in those tears, her lip giving the tiniest tremble. Vi should think she looks like Powder, that she still hurts the same, the same scrunch in her forehead, the same twitch in her cheek. She doesn't look like Powder at all, not with the hollowness and the pink glow.
But she still looks Vi's sister. "I love you. Whatever you do, I love you." She lets her voice shake at the end but makes sure Jinx hears, that she understands.
Jinx doesn't turn her eyes away but Vi can't look into them anymore, she can't see whether they will flicker away again or remain. She shuts her own, tight, until fireworks burst underneath her eyelids, blue like smoke from a flare. She still can't hear any soft breaths through the thunder in her ears. She does hear the grating noise of the chair scraping against the floor as Jinx gets to her feet, the steps that move closer. Her hands and her eyes sting as Vi waits for whatever follows.
The start will always be the same as the end: Vi loves her sister. Somehow, it feels like the worst thing she's ever done.
Catra and jinx twin sister au Uh
THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN SAYYIJNBGGGVSHSBZBJXBXJSNAAAAAAAAA
MORE ARCANE THOUGHTS
one of the things that hits me about Arcane is how much Jinx and Vi love each other. Like you can FEEL IT.
Vi has been raising her since she was ten (how old is she when their parents die? Does anyone know?). To me it always feels like a mother-daughter relationship more so than a sisterly relationship. And that’s why she just can’t let her go. She can’t move on because yeah it’s her sister but it’s also her kid her BABY.
And it’s the same with Jinx. She doesn’t even remember their mom most likely. She remembers Vi. She remembers her pep talks and her rough but gentle hands. For all intents and purposes, that’s her mom. And that makes her “rejection” (it’s not really rejection but yk Jinx’s perspective) burn so much worse. And it’s the way Vi’s absence is echoed in every crevice of her being. Her scribbles at the edge of the screen spell Vi, her leather chokers spell Vi, and she even adds pink to her whole color scheme because it was Vi’s color. AND WHEN THEY ARE REUNITED AND JINX ASKS IF SHE IS REAL IMPLYING SHE HAS DREAMED THIS BEFORE OH GOD. And for their whole reunion she’s just a child again. She forgets her violence and anger and hatred and she just cries in her arms, so happy to have her sister (read: mom) back.
Too bad it doesn’t last.
Bro is just a jungle gym
YOU THINK I’M CRAZY? YOU SHOULD SEE MY SISTER.
On my knees BEGGING u to never ever stop talking abt vi and jinxs codependent asses i feel like, not only does this fandon talk about caitvi waaayy more than the sisters but they also tend to mischaracterize their relationship and make them normal sisters which they r 10000000% not at all yknow so its nice to see as someone with a sorta similar relationship with my own sibling to them yknow send tweet ily erughh
I love abnormal familial relationships sm, like I think people project on found families and other family dynamics to see the perfect version of family they don't have but I personally, I love dysfunction. it's true that I do think vi and jinxs relationship is often mischaracterised and part of it is that because fandoms are largely focused on romantic relationships over platonic dynamics they just kind of get adapted to whatever will fit the ship of choice better which if you're writing vi is usually caitvi. but also part of it is I think is that when you look at their relationship there's no angle where both of them look good here shjsjsj vis refusal to accept that jinx is who she is and the way she made saving her her entire identity and jinxs dependence on vi like they are just so abnormal in a way thats incompatible with life shshjsjs and also because they are so emotionally incestuos (which like you'll see on memes and jokes here and there - which I love and make them too dhshsj - but you never really see content touching on how fucking dark it is) if you're hard-core focusing on caitvi or sth it doesn't necessarily fit that jinx will always be vis priority and vice versa, not in a stupid vi chose jinx over caitlyn or sth way but in a way that because they are so pivotal to each others identities there's little room for somebody else to take priority, even silco couldn't cut it unless vi fully unlearns all their fucked up dynamic caitlyn is gonna keep getting dragged through mud in the name of vis sisterly love and I think that's so sexy, me and my girlfriend and my girlfriends grown adult sister who sleeps in our bed with us and keeps threatening me with a knife
hi…uh this is a petition for never grow up by taylor swift to play during season 2 of arcane.
i’m well aware it doesn’t fit the aesthetic of the show…but all i can think of is jinx crying while vi hugs her and never grow up plays in the background.
or can hailee steinfield cover it for the show
idk might write a fanfic on it
You wouldnt get it
You wouldn't dmt get it
"JiNx AnD cAtRa WoUlDnT gEt AlOnG aT aLl WdYm-"
Ok well maybe they just have a deep emotional connection that u dont have the brain capacity to understand how about that
Day 2 is lucky they had a bad day so theyre at the fountain to make their own wish. Catra wishes she could get the courage to tell vi about the war, jinx wishes for clarity on who she is
Starting inktober in september so hopefully I'll finish it by the end of october
Weeeeeee anyways this is gonna be my catra and jinx twin sister au even if not every photo has both if them in it it's in that universe ok? Ok
Ok, so a lot of ppl make fun of Jinx being jealous over Cait bcos it seems that like a dummy she misunderstands that they’re girlfriends and that she, as a sister, is not getting replaced by a girlfriend.
But the thing is she IS getting replaced.
When you think about it in terms of how unusual and unfair to Vi the situation is that she’s like 5 years older and yet she’s burdened with the full responsibility of caring for a mentally ill sibling, well- that could be a job for life. If Jinx took Vi on her offer to run away they’d have no one but each other, they’d co-habit and Vi’s whole attention would be consumed by managing/helping Jinx. Being Jinx’s caretaker is a full-time job and it was a full time job when she was Powder too. You don’t just stop being a parent.
Caitlyn represents Vi building her own life separate from Jinx, her younger sibling, like ppl in early 20s do. She’s possessive and jealous over Vi the same way kids don’t like their new step-parents or are jealous over other siblings receiving attention from their parents. Jinx is extremely needy, and you can see in how she doesn’t care about making friends and how she doesn’t care about romance (possibly ignores/is oblivious to Ekko’s crush) that she’s not in a mental state where she wants to mature and grow up. As a neurodivergent child she actually always needed more time to grow up than others, but she was forced to grow up too fast and it’s always through these really traumatizing experiences. Growing up is an extremely painful process for Jinx and so she holds onto being a child as much as she can, it seems. She wants and needs a caretaker still, and Vi picking an enforcer girlfriends isn’t even just about needing to share, it’s potentially building a life that Jinx can’t be a part of.
Hence, ‘replacing’ but not in the sense that Cait is gonna be Vi’s new sister but that she’s getting a new life, one where she doesn’t need Jinx anymore and will abandon her parental duties towards her, smth that Jinx desperately needs and relies on daily cos she’s still a teenager, and which is ultimately exactly what happens.
