On today’s episode of “Keeping up with the Targaryens”: Old King Viserys calls Queen Alicent his dead wife and roasts her in front of everyone. (She deserved it.)
Ekko’s trauma is SO over shadowed by the other characters. He was only a child when he lost everyone in his family, the only one left alive being Jinx who left him to be with Silco only to start killing people in his community.
I don’t want Timebomb to become a couple. I want Timebomb to have a private moment alone where they can express their feelings for one another. However, in the end, they have to separate because the plot demands it so. They leave wondering if they’ll ever see each other again.
I don’t know about you guys, BUT I SEE POWDER ON THE SURFACE HERE! VERY CLEARLY! This feels like a season one, episode one parallel, yk, when Powder ran away from that one bully, carrying all the stuff and she eventually threw it all in the river? Yeah. 😃😭💔
What will Ekko think when he discovers that Jinx is now a symbol of Zaun? After all this time that Ekko has worked with the Firelights to help the citizens, Jinx is the one getting all the attention. 😭💔
Arcane fans out here disliking Vi because she’s so used to seeing death all around her and it doesn’t cause a large, dramatic reaction like she had in episode 3. Do you guys even know what seeing death multiple times does to a person? Vi is traumatized. She always has been.
I can’t. Look at Jinx’s face. She looks so done with everyone ruining her reunion. Her pupils retract due to surprise at seeing Ekko, but her eyebrows soften. THEN she proceeds to shoot the wall DIRECTLY underneath him instead of AT him! GIRL!

Ekko ACTUALLY looks like he’s going to cry here! I’m going to be sick! If Ekko is really talking to Jinx here, it’s so over. The pure, raw emotion on his face! You can tell there is a million things he wants to say to her but a part of him can’t speak! 😭❤️🩹
Vi: “Hey, leave Caitlyn alone. I like her, okay? You can get your own blue haired girlfriend.”
Ekko: “Bitch. I’ve literally been in love with your little sister for years.”

Everyone is saying that Jinx looks scary here. I am not scared. All I see is a traumatized girl who’s hurt and angry and is telling Caitlyn to stay away from her sister. 😭
@VIOLYNSOUND
I would not be surprised if Silco brought Jinx over to see Mylo and Claggor’s corpses, uncovering them from beneath the rubble before he took Jinx back with him to The Last Drop. You know how evil Silco is! He would totally do that! On purpose! 😭💔
Ekko is likely just as scared of the thought of hurting/killing Jinx as Jinx is scared of hurting/killing him! WHY? WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE THE TWO CHILDHOOD BEST FRIENDS WHO GOT WRAPPED UP IN THIS MESS? THEY DON’T DESERVE THIS! EITHER OF THEM! 😭💔
These two REALLY don’t want to fight each other! Jinx literally allows Ekko to get out of range before she shoots the spot he was in previously!

Okay, so, Caitlyn and Vi were romantic allies while we got the Timebomb rivalry in season one, correct? What if in season 2, it’s reversed and we get romantic, allied Timebomb and then a Caitvi rivalry?
Alright, we all know about how Jinx smirks, mocks and giggles at Ekko before their fight. But look at Jinx’s expression when Ekko originally swoops in to grab the gemstone. Our girl is starstruck. She stood there, watching him fly towards her. She didn’t even move.

, and that both Hailee Steinfeld (Vi) and Reed Shannon (Ekko) are music creators. What we need now is for Vi and Ekko to sing romance songs to their respective partners in future seasons.
He’s just a boy with a crush! 🥹🫶🏻 Ekko loves to admire Jinx. Even if he’s on a dangerous mission. He’ll just casually wait around staring at her with the biggest heart eyes while two of his teammates go flying and explode. 😭
OHHHH MY GOSH GUYSSS LOOK AT THIS!! HIGHER QUALITY AND U CAN SEE ALL THE THINGS SHES DRAWN 😭😭 “dork” “best boy” “TUFF TUFF💚” “boy savior” THE HEARTS?? OHHH MY GOODNESS🥹
My writer brain is spiralling right now. Imagine if after Ekko says his line this happens:
Jinx: “You’re covered in dirt.”
Ekko smiles briefly
Ekko: “Yeah.”
Jinx takes out a small cloth and steps towards him, wiping off the dirt and paint.
Jinx: “Here, hold still.”
Guys, I don’t think Ekko knows that Silco is dead yet. He likely still believes that he can use Hex Tech to fight against Silco and the chembarons thanks to the intel Caitlyn gave him last season. I see this being Ekko’s new motivation. This is what leads him to Piltover. 🥹
I just realized something and it makes me sick. Jinx was willing to spend the last moments of her life looking into Ekko’s eyes. Hold on. Give me a minute.
…. *SCREAMS*
I’m about to get stupid delusional. What if Jinx and Ekko actually team up this season and Jinx makes Ekko that bullet casing for his hair? It’s recognition of their childhood friendship, a symbol of forgiveness and their newfound alliance, but most of all, a declaration of love.
You can’t tell me that Ekko didn’t draw these doodles in a journal or something when he was ten and had a crush on Powder, because he totally did this. 🤭💕

“Hey guys! Did you see that titan? What do you think it could possibly be?” “Eren?” “Eren?” “Eren?” “Probably Eren.” “Seriously, who else is it going to be?” “Oh come on, that’s way too obvious-“ “Oh, look, it’s actually Eren!” 😀✨
Jinx has ADHD! Ella said so herself. As someone with ADHD who relates to Jinx this makes me feel very proud to be who I am! The rest of you can go home! I’m going to throw myself a little party! :D
The Riot marketing team: “Heartache and Heartthrob Caitlyn and Vi and Chromacrash Jinx and Ekko will satisfy the Caitvi and Timebomb shippers. Just give them some fluff to stall them until we release Arcane season 2 and destroy everyone!” *insert evil laughter here*
Sure, Jinx got into position to fight Ekko after he smirked and pulled out his watch, but let’s not forget that Ekko charged head first into machine gun fire in a fit of rage after Jinx killed Eve. 😀 Like, sir, you could have died! No braincells. No thoughts whatever! 😭
@Andro_Gin
It’s so unique! Ariana’s Glinda is clearly very hurt in this opening scene. The citizens are celebrating the death of her best friend! Glinda is upset. She’s angry and she is in mourning. It’s so heartbreaking to see Glinda in this light. We never see that on stage. 🥺🫧
You know what? Forget about the angsty, emotional Timebomb season 2 reunion. Jinx is going to have an all newfound confidence now and won’t be afraid to run rampant across Piltover. I want to see Ekko scared shitless seeing how fearless, cruel and insane she’s become.
Just imagine in season 2 if Jinx’s mask breaks again and Ekko gets to see an expression like how she looked at Vi during the reunion. The big puppy eyes. 🥹
I seriously don’t know who is going to feel more betrayed in the end. Ekko when he discovers that Vi joined the enforcers or Vi when she learns that Ekko pushed Jinx to her breaking point and caused her to attempt suicide! 😭💔
Everyone in the fandom is worried for Jinx, which is fair, but I am scared out of my mind for Ekko! 😭 What are the writers going to do to him? (I say this as if I am not writing a fanfiction and also putting Ekko through hell. Ahaha! 🥹)

@AoTWiki
Honestly I have family zoned and friend zoned my crushes before so I completely understand where she is coming from. Confessing your feelings is hard.
The gun and the stopwatch? Lmao! You can literally position the two to stand across from each other, turn on Dynasties and Dystopia in the background and make them kiss. 🤭😆🫶🏻
It’s okay. We still have a whole month before June to mentally prepare. Enjoy the grace period, guys, because very soon we’re all going to be screaming and crying.
