Okay, I'm an idiot, but please follow me for a second.
Old Villain with sad eyes, seeing the young hero for the first time: "you're really young"
Young Hero (also an idiot): "I've been younger"
sevika, hearing a loud explosion: JINX, NO
jinx, sitting right next to her: what?? the fuck??
sevika: sorry, force of habit. ISHA, NO-
As a European, I'm seeing a lot of bigots from the USA (and Europeans that simpatize with Orange Man) say that Europe is against freedom because:
1) We are woke and poor
2) universal healthcare is paid with taxes
3) Hate speech is censored
Well, maybe some of us are poor. I don't have much money and I struggle to find a job, but I prefer to be poor than to be a fuckin' d*ckhead with no empathy. Being poor is not a flaw, being poor is a condition. MY grand-grandma was really poor and with 6 children, she was a widow from South Italy in a post war country. None of you bigots will ever be half of what that woman was, how she carried her life with love and strength. If there are poor people, it means our society is wrong and should change. Also, not all European countries are Italy, some have better incomes for workers. Like, they actually get paid the right amount for their job. Crazy, right?
Unfortunately, many countries are not "WOKE". Here in Italy they blame "communism" even for a nail is badly placed. They hurt minors that are peacefully protesting against genocide, but let fascist do the "roman salute".
Let's continue, shall we? Are you unhappy because your taxes will help everyone get healthcare? First, you're an idiot, because taxes will help you get cured too without paying 10.000€. Second, the capitalistic idea of individualism has ruined basic empathy, because you prefer to spend tons of money than to help the community. It's funny, because many of you aren't even that rich, some of you have low paid jobs.
To conclude, freedom of speech shouldn't be freedom from consequences, but don't worry! In some European countries pigs enable hate speech and justify discrimination. So, unfortunately, even Europe is at risk to become the hellhole you desire so much.
My heart goes to the people who are suffering because of far-right governments, and to the victims of modern society all across the world.
THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN THINKING!
Had a conversation with someone who said that "Ekko was in love with Powder, not Jinx. Jinx is not capable of being in a relationship" and I absolutely think otherwise. It's not like Powder and Jinx are two different entities, they are the same person with two different experiences. The Alternate Timeline only shows us how things could have been in a kinder world, but Ekko knows that there is something worth saving, because Jinx is not only her mistakes (everyone is fucked up in this series) and OBVIOUSLY SHE'S NOT JUST HER MENTAL ILLNESS. Jinx still deserves love from her sister, from Isha, from Ekko. This season shows us that, no matter how broken she is, she loves and she loves deeply.
In the end, Timebomb is a tragic love story in Arcane, it's a "what could have been", but the possibility was there. It's just that the world is not kind enough for them to have a happy ending. And I don't think that the only way this would have worked out was with Powder instead of Jinx, because Jinx showed us she was capable of improving, loving and caring for others.
I'm a bleeding heart for characters like Jinx, I know.
Sorry if it doesn't make sense, English is not my first language and I'm also writing this at 1.30 am.
I would be happy to hear other people's opinions on this.
As somebody who has struggled with mental health all of their life and still does, Jinx's romance with Ekko means the world to me.
I'm sick and tired of people considering mentally ill people just "not interested in love" or, on the other side, "not healthy enough to be loved". Which is utterly stupid. Ekko falling for Powder but clearly showing signs of wanting to learn more about Jinx and on his way to love her too, realizing that her damaged past and issues do change her but she's still his girl. It's brilliant writing.
He can't be a savior to her, because there's nothing to save. There's nothing to fix. The whole message Jayce gives with "there's beauty in imperfections" goes hand in hand with Powder's "sometimes taking a leap forward means leaving a few things behind". Ekko goes from wanting to save her to wanting to see more of her and leaving Powder behind to know about Jinx. With Ekko loving Jinx nevertheless it shows that mentally ill people can be loved. And with Powder reciprocating and Jinx making amends with Ekko (with the romantic context behind already seen) it's breaking the whole stereotype of her being this "insane maniac with no remorse and unable to show love".
So I guess what I want to say is that their relationship would've worked in another universe, but I want to believe it could've worked in this one (with time), too.
Grown men crying over a small choice in a character creation, that grants you the possibility to have top surgery scars. In a world with a corrupted magic induced plague, your biggest problem are pronouns and top surgery scars. And a non-binary character whose story you obviously didn't finish.
Yeah, sometimes Veilguard's writing isn't perfect, it's a normal game. But duck, I love their tantrums. They are like big big babies.
So, who is weak now?
Prospero is the only one surviving Annabel Lee in this scenario. Maybe Ada is still alive because she ran away crying, but Monty sure as hell is dead, and his corpse is used as a warning to everyone who dares enter Annabel's territory.
the difference between the misfits and the posh gang is that if the misfits played monopoly there'd be yelling. if the posh gang played monopoly there would be blood, a broken bone, and an impromptu infirmary visit (again).

Nobody pays her enough for her service.
The way Sevika doesn't even question the way Isha just is with the group now she's just like "Oh shit, not again" Like, she's in the middle of beating the shit out of Smeech, looks over and there's just a kid vibing with the resident homicidal schizo maniac.
