Now It's My Turn To Chase The Monsters Away

My Jinx was missing from Season 2.

Where was the Jinx who lured enforcers into a trap, taunted them, then murdered them while laughing?

Where was the Jinx who killed a crow just because it surprised her, and just because she could, then used its feathers as bookmarks?

Where was the Jinx who massacred Firelights with no hesitation or remorse, and was so violent towards them that even Vi was shocked?

Where was the Jinx who straddled Silco and repeatedly stabbed him in the face because she thought he lied to her?

Where was the Jinx who blew enforcers to pieces on the bridge, then stalked through the bloody aftermath, mercilessly picking off survivors one by one while humming a song?

Where was the Jinx who smiled while tormenting Vi by pretending she had Caitlyn's severed head on a platter?

Where was the Jinx who tied Sevika up, hit her, and threatened to cut her other arm off just for an interrogation, then strung her upside down after she got her answer?

Where was the Jinx who smiled like a gleeful child while shooting at people and when told of all the enforcers she killed?

Where was the Jinx who, in rage and grief after losing Silco, fired a Hextech rocket directly at the Council while hearing his voice telling her to let them burn?

Where was the terrifying and threatening force of destruction I fell in love with? She appeared a little in Season 2 Act 1, then never again. Did Baby Yoda give her a personality transplant along with curing her mental illness?

Where was this girl?

is it a hot take to say that i never really felt like caitvi worked all that well even back in season 1 as a romantic pairing and vastly preferred it as a platonic relationship? it worked so much better as a begrudging, transactional deal between her and vi, and its quick advancement to romantic feelings between the two was always one of S1's weaker elements. and then S2 happened. the scene being a good representation piece aside (which is a MASSIVE win, in case anyone misunderstands me) the issues i have with the pairing only grew ten times worse. even putting aside the gross implications of the social dynamics at play, it all just feels so... rushed. i'm supposed to believe that vi would leave her sister to run off with very clear signs of suicidal behaviour in order to get down and dirty with this topsider she's known for... what, a few days? with a six month gap between their last meeting which ended with caitlyn assaulting her and saying she's just like her sister, just like the "animals" in the undercity? the same sister who, in season 1, was vi's explicit motivator for surviving seven hellish years of prison when her life fell apart all around her?

what was once an uninteresting pairing to me has now become one i outright dislike, because it wasn't given anywhere near enough time to be properly developed, leading to horrendously out of character actions from vi and taking focus away from her and jinx, the fucking PROTAGONISTS of the show.

"These characters are siblings" okay ❤ yay ❤
