About the loyalty part, let's not forget that Gwen was a 16 years old homeless girl without any support except Spider society. She was brainwashed by the elderly people who she thought they understood as a fellow hero. She thought she did the right thing.
Jinx was brainwashed too, but her actions were more harmful to Ekko. She killed his people for Silco.
Both of them did things for the people they thought were right. But in the end, they felt guilty about it, when they freed themselves from the influence of others and they did the right thing. They followed their gut.
We can't compare them, saying the one was right and the other not, because that's not true. There's no black and white, there's grey.
And these characters are both morally grey heroes.
If you bring one down because you don't like the ship, I am sorry but you are no better from the people comparing them positively
I am SO tired of people comparing Timebomb to Ghostflower, do NOT insult my babies Jinx and Ekko like that
Timebomb absolutely clears Ghostflower anyday
First of all, I feel like most of yāall are just ādrawing parallelsā where there really arenāt many because theyāre both animated interracial couples (black dude/white girl) with dimensional issues
Their actual relationships are NOTHINGGG alike
Timebomb has HISTORY. They were best friends, they were enemies, and they LOVE each other. They both have trauma and difficult situations. They live in a society where they face insane oppression and class struggle. THAT is their story.
No hate to Ghostflower fans but that ship is genuinely horrible and has nowhere near the level of connection that Timebomb does, itās very surface-level imo like a silly little teenage romance.
And Jinx, as much as she was ready to kill Ekko, never sold his identity out to Silco even though she knew he was the leader of the Firelightsā¦just saying. (Looking at you Gwen)
Timebomb is what Ghostflower THINKS it is
And when it comes to the actual characters, theyāre not similar at all. You cannot tell me you can draw a SINGLE similarity between Jinx and Gwen (or even Powder and Gwen) that isnāt completely surface level. I can see where some people come from with Miles and Ekko (they both paint murals and are smart Ig) but still I feel like yāall are just saying this because theyāre both black. Miles is an awkward teenager facing the burden of being Spiderman, whereas Ekko is the leader of a gang/group that is actively fighting against the oppression they as a group face to make their lives better. Heās shaped by his environment. Ekko is also genius on an insane level in comparison to Milesā¦
Anyways no hate to anyone who likes Ghostflower (or these characters because I may have dissed them a lil bit) but if I see one more person acting like the two ships are the same Iām actually gonna cry
And do not say āitās not that serious itās all for fun blah blah blahā because it is, to me it is
Isn't just pathetic when people hate a character just because they're HUMANS!? MAKING HUMAN MISTAKES!? Or, you know, they are just teens trying their best? And hate them for that? I would like to see them in such situation

I want to point out a scene that I'm one 100% sure slip from everyone eyes when reading the cruel prince, so here we go:
When you read the book again after you have already experienced the Horror of the Coronation, you see little details like this one that means the world to me.
The first time I read the book, I was so in shock of modoc action and the death that happened that I didn't pay that much attention to the jude and cardan scene because all my mind was working on was why modoc did what he did and what does it mean for jude.
Any way in this scene jude put her hair down infront of cardan for the first time I think + he was already drunk so when he looked at her he saw a glorious woman that he is desperately need for his desire. So he was going to say, "You look.. magnificent / beautiful / breathtaking," how've he shut up because he can't lie.
And when jude left him to bring a mask for herself, he started to drink more to stop thinking of her. Then my new fav line is "his gaze burning into me. I have no idea what he sees, what he's looking for." You want me to move on from this line from his gaze being so obvious about his obsession for her. I'm sorry, but I could never do that ever.

NOT SEEING ENOUGH PEOPLE TALK ABOUT JINX'S LITTLE FOUND FAMILY AND HOW PERFECT IT IS THEMATICALLY!!!
Specifically what I want to highlight is how Jinx found the two most important parts of herself that she lost in Sevika and Isha.
In Sevika she found a new Vi, a new older sister figure. She cannot fix things with Vi, she understands that, but her relationship with Sevika is something she can fix, and she can mourn Silco with Sevika in a way she and Vi could never mourn Vander together.
In Isha she found Powder, the person she once was who she can't be anymore. In many ways Isha gives Jinx the opportunity to protect and love Powder in the way she always wished others would do for her, quite literally Isha heals Jinx's inner child.
Peeta is always open to drawing or painting anything for Katniss and she's frequently taken him up on it. It's usually not that difficult for him, he loves the chance to paint, to refine his skills. Katniss loves having not only a reminder of certain memories but also a physical representation of Peeta's enduring and almost quiet love for her. And it's easy. Natural. That is until Katniss looks at Peeta one day and asks, "Would you do a self-portrait for me?"
That's hard for him. The sketches are never quite right, the colors are off. Katniss doesn't ever nitpick at his paintings, and she isn't being unkind or anything, but she always looks at the drafts with an uncertain expression only to say, "Somethings not right, Peeta."
Peeta gets frustrated. Why can't he just do this painting? He asks Katniss what is off about the sketches, and it's always a thousand little things. His eyes aren't that severe. He's supposed to have freckles there. His mouth is softer in real life. His hair doesn't curl like that. His expression is off. He can never seem to get it right. What is it about this painting?
They're lying on the couch one day when Katniss says, "Maybe you just can't see yourself the way I do."
That makes him curious. How does she see him? They start trying to figure that out. He says that she should describe his face to him as if he were a plant for the book, and maybe they could arrive somewhere accurate.
Katniss finds it a little funny, even odd, he's himself. He has to be more familiar with his own face than she is, but she humors him. They sit down in his studio together and begin.
It becomes an exercise in getting to know her, somehow, on a level that he hadn't explored before. She spends a long time talking about the shape of his eyes, the fan of his eyelashes, and the color of his irises. Her cheeks stain with embarrassment, and his heart knocks against his ribs, trying to escape, maybe even trying to reach out to her.
She has something to say about details he'd never even thought of before. The angle of his chin, the exact colour of his hair. She has descriptions that don't make much sense to him too. His smile is like spring and his scars are like marigolds. When given time, Katniss ends up arranging a whole bouquet of wildflowers with her descriptions.
He loves her. He already knew that. Heck, people on the other side of the country already knew that, but he'd had no idea, somehow, he still had no idea the depth of Katniss's devotion. It's beautiful and seemingly never-ending and it fills his own heart with joy.
They create the portrait together, after many hours spent alone. It's a painting of his own face, yet, it holds a deep intimacy and he can't seem to look at it without smiling and blushing like a fool. He doesn't think of it as his, even if it's a painting of himself, the painting is wholly Katniss's. He presents it to her when he's finished and Katniss smiles warmly, looking down at it with such affection. She hangs it in the hall, near the bench where she keeps her arrows so she can look at it when she leaves every morning and when she comes back home. That part of the house is very private, he doesn't even really go there that often, so it feels special. To know that Katniss wanted to bring him there with her, in her own way.
