Curate, connect, and discover
I feel like Silco and Kaz Brekker would be allies who are wary of each other but also respect each other in their own twisted way.
Severely lacking in Vander content. Come on, folks! We gotta fix this! 😂
These two men deserve more love :')
(I just finished S2 of arcane and I'm desperate for them, there are too few fanfics)
Young Silco and mini Viktor from @owepossum 's absolutely phenomenal fic this devotion may contain side effects that has entirely consumed my brain as of late!!!!!
PLEASE i cannot express how much i love this fic so have motherly Silco as a gift <3
BIRDIE
YOU HAVE CHANGED
Silco Arcane is Mum coded in this essay I will-
silco and au!powder have so much potential. like jilco level potential
they're damn similar tell me
I have never watched Arcane before but GOODNESS GRACIOUS I AM GONNA I need EVERY SINGLE FRAME FEATURING THIS MAN
I'm still tortured by artblock and college bullshit tho (sadly) so this sketch is lowkey ass
So has anyone noticed that Caitlyn’s damaged eye is on the same side as Silco’s
everybody wants to be my enemy?
So I see a lot of posts about Caitlyn hesitating to kill Jinx at the tea party scene, and how that moment probably haunts both her and Vi after.
But rewatching the scene, I noticed an important detail and realized, Caitlyn likely dodged a bullet (literally) by not shooting Jinx.
After a tense confrontation with an escaped Caitlyn and hearing Vi plead for her life, Jinx seems to yield.
We see her look around as if in contemplation, then slowly took a few steps back.
After being told to "drop the gun" a second time, Jinx finally put the handgun on the table...right in front of Silco.
We all know Powder/Jinx is incredibly intelligent. It appears to me the decision to put the handgun within Silco's reach is a deliberate one. (Silco would later grab the gun and attempt to shoot Vi.)
Silco was the only participant at the tea party who had no qualms with killing his opponents. Despite the peculiarity of the moment, Jinx knows Silco would come to her defense if anything happened to her.
This actually shows how much Jinx trusts her adoptive father even after the statue scene.
If Caitlyn shot Jinx, Silco would most likely grab the gun and fire at Caitlyn. Given the Kiramman's diverted attention and without Jinx there to stop him (why would she?), Silco would not have missed like in canon.
(I would also like to add that being shot has much graver consequences for Caitlyn compared to Jinx, who is enhanced by Shimmer.)
Now I doubt Jinx did it on purpose, but knocking Caitlyn unconscious and taking her out of the equation might have actually saved Caitlyn's life.
Snippet:
"Thanks for the tip," Vi says, rising to her feet. "I'd do the same for you, if I had any fucks left to give."
"Is that right?" Sevika's eyes glow, a pair of ashed-out cigarettes. "If I were you, sweetie, I'd save my fucks for a fight I can win."
"Funny. I seem to recall kicking your ass at least once before."
"Once. With the element of surprise." The glow hardens. "Not to mention an Uppside bitch playing back-up."
"You saying you'd beat me in a fair fight?"
"In a fair fight, Vi, you'd be a smear on the floor." Sevika's eyes cut her up and down. "I've had bigger and badder than little shit-kickers like you come to heel."
"That a fact?" Vi takes a step closer. She's a good head shorter, but doesn't miss the subtle flexing of Sevika's jaw. "'Cause I've got no problem taking a run at it."
They stand face-to-face. A breath away from collision.
The sun, blood-red, crests over the Aerie.
Vi swears she glimpses her sister's silhouette against the sky.
A crow readying for flight.
Sevika's right fist dry-gulches Vi—a nasty suckerpunch straight to her ribs. The blow would've laid Vi out flat. Except her reflexes have already kicked into gear. She rolls with the punch, torquing her hips at the last minute. Her uppercut, meeting Sevika's momentum, connects her knuckles solidly with the underside of Sevika's jaw.
Sevika's head snaps back. Blood and spittle spray. A split-second later, the shocked glaze fades from her eyes, and she lets loose a war-whoop that could rattle the joists of a steel-walled battleship. Then she's coming at Vi with a haymaker that collides straight into the gut. The blow drops Vi to her knees. Arctic spiders crawl up her sides; her insides are aflame.
Her stare connects with Sevika's. The older woman shrugs, and her mouth curls. A succinct two syllable taunt—
"Square up."
—And she kicks Vi hard enough to send her skidding across the courtyard.
The rest of the recruits, their game suspended, stare in stunned silence. Ran and Dustin, locked in a rowdy clinch, fall apart. Lock, sensing a real match in the offing, sensibly retreats from the fray. Others crowd in a loose circle. The betting begins in a hushed buzz of coins passing from hand to hand.
It's one thing to have the blackguard brass at each other's throats. It's another thing entirely to bear witness to a no-holds-barred showdown between Zaun's two most formidable combatants.
One: the daughter of the Wharfside Devil. The other: the whelp of the Hound of the Underground.
A grudge-match for the ages.

just realised that jinx was the product of all three of them. she was raised by felicia, then vander, then silco. sounds like felicia, leads like vander, fights like silco. has her smile, his heart and his wits. has her braid and his scruff and his bangs. she's the best of them. i cant get over it
