Silco is one of my Favourite character in arcane but ya no he is definitely a villain and I don't defend his actions what I will say though ( because people are always going on about these things )
Silco loved Jinx. It is confirmed and its also like.. obvious.
him defending her from sevika and ( according to sevika ) his entire crew who don't like her and can clearly see she'll be his downfall.
his reaction when he sees she is Hurt. *sobs*
the way he literally gets EVERYTHING HE HAS EVERY WANTED ON A SILVER FUCKING PLATTER and gives it all up because he didn't want to live without her *sobs harder*
Jinx KILLS him and his finally words are calling her perfect. ( he literally is dying. He knows that. There would be no point in lying to her. )
But he was not a good father. Even though I honestly think he believes the things he tells her and isn't actively trying to manipulate her. These are the two quotes that stand out.
eg) everyone betrays us
in fairness everyone he loved HAD betrayed him and from what jinx TELLS him, Vi betrayed her. ( ik Vi didn't actually betray her and it isn't her fault whatsoever. She was a child like ?!?. But it's what jinx believes and its what she TELLS him )
Eg) jinx is perfect
Jinx ( my other favourite character ) is by no means perfect. She's clearly insane and she's a full blown murderer. She is not perfect but she is to SILCO. ( again he is not right for thinking this way but he is clearly not mentally well either ) Silco isn't lying when he says this. He honestly thinks she's perfect.
( We also only see Silco lie to Jinx once. When he tells her Vi is only after the crystal. And that is done because he doesn't want to loose her because he loves her. A shitty thing to do. But nonetheless. )
Silcos goals are understandable. The way he goes about achieving them is not. Wanting the undercity to be free from Piltover is 100% justifiable. Piltover is extremely corrupt and like.. the worst. Its literally like the hunger games. Its just that going out on a murder spree isn't the way to achieve that yk.
( Also I can understand why silco murders vander but still... debatable. )
So ya in conclusion,
Silco is a VILLAIN.
Most of the shit he does is morally evil
However there are some things that people think about him that are just simply not true. I have alot more points but I'm tired.
Thank you for listening to my Ted talk.
Them: Silco was right and didn’t do anything wrong
Silco: *threatens to kill Marcus’ daughter*
Silco: “I would’ve had your son killed for this”
Silco: *sets a trap to murder Vi, Mylo, Claggor, and Powder- who are children*
Silco: *constantly lies to and manipulates Jinx, emotionally hurting her and exacerbating her mental illness*
Silco: *gets half the Undercity addicted to Shimmer for his own benefit*
Ok guys to be fair here, it’s not Twitter milevens or Twitter bylers who are “toxic” or “insane”- its twitter users. It’s just them. That’s it.
It's Canon in my eyes
I love that in the absence of canon content for THREE STRAIGHT WEEKS instead of letting it go or cooling off at all we’ve just started making shit up. Like “oh yeah actually they’re texting under the table in every episode it just isn’t shown” and we’re all like oh yeah obviously. “she saved his sweater from the party and will give it back at some point” right yeah of course. Just iconic how everybody took two short scenes and a few shots in a season promo and just SPRINTED onward
And people say they're not in love...
I physically, mentally and spiritually cannot wait 2 years to find out what happened to Fez
Currently preparing my 7 day cyber bullying campaign to Sam Levinson if he doesn’t give me good Lexi Fez content tonight
Imagine that Lexi has a tab open to urban dictionary at all times to understand wtf Fezco is saying to her
I need like a protective Fez fanfiction. Like lexi gets hurt or sm and fez simply LOOSES HIS SHIT.
I need it... for a friend
I just love the fact in arcane vander even attempts to kill silco and he's like 'I'm gonna make it my life mission to kill u and everyone u love for the lols' and then jinx actually kills him and he's like 'u are exceptional'
AND PEOPLE STILL SAY THE MAN DIDNT LOVE HER-
NO HE WOULD TOO
fez would listen to lexi read a grocery list like it was most beautiful thing ever
If this happens I'll levitate while sobbing
The need for music to defeat Vecna as well as El’s need for a moment of love for her combines to Mike saying it to her over and over whilst she’s fighting the final fight.. like I can imagine her being exhausted having done all the fighting herself, so Mike holds her up and even keeps her hand in position whilst saying ‘I love you’ in her ear and finally she has someone with no ulterior motives just love for her ..
