It’s always been a dance with you

May we have time for another

I will be perfectly honest, I somehow like every single detail about timebomb's lovestruck skins.

"It's all over the place", "too many clashing details", "seems like they couldn't choose what designs to put and then mixed them all together"

you see... that's exactly what I like about it.

IT'S SO THEM. AND THAT'S THE POINT.

the whole theme of "vibing, rocking, being in love 💞"

- leg warmers <--> jeans (we all joked about it at least once)

- Ekko now seems to sport the same side-bangs Jinx has

- spiky parts on their jackets are meant to form a heart

their accessories... oh... the way they match in all the little ways:

- Jinx's heart on her waist matches the heart Ekko has on his knee

- just like the heart on Jinx's left shoe matches the heart on Ekko's right shoe

- the cute round beads that imitate Jinx's second braid are also found on Ekko's pants... pants, on which he has very cute pins that may very sweetly parallel Jinx's jacket pins

- Jinx's half-a-heart necklace meant to form a heart with Ekko's half-a-heart knuckle accessory

timebomb nation can i offer you some low quality memes

Ekko: *reading a book*

Ekko: "Ehh, I hate the enemies to lovers trope. It's annoying fr"

Jinx: "..."

Jinx: *sweating* "You sure?"

every time someone comments “but lux—” on a ticktock edit of ekko and jinx, an angel punches that person in the face.

pretend like it's the first time

Did Ekko try to take Jinx away after the bridge fight ?

I'm heavily medicated right now, so bear with me.

I've seen a lot of theories about how the ash on Jinx's face is smudged and all, so I looked at the shots very carefully, it could be smudged BUT. I looked at it so much that I missed the obvious. Her whole body is a different place and position ! And now we know Ekko was actually there. Nobody else was until Silco arrived.

Look:

1. How Jinx looked after the explosion both at the end of 1×7 and in Ekkos memories.

2. How Silco found her. Forget the ash and look at the hair, it's away from her face and her arm is down. I took the screens before he touched her at all.

3.Position of her arm over her belly as if she had been carried.

Now for the location.

4. This is where Ekko found her, right next to the line. Notice her hair over her head.

5 and 6, this is where Silco found her, further away on the bridge, and her hair is down, again, as if she was carried and put down.

7. I know I'm right, validate me please.

Did somebody already point this out and I'm a moron ? Well...

oh, that explains a lot.

it especially explains why I felt like ma meilleure ennemie was so specifically about ekko and jinx's relationship and their feelings for each other, yet it didn't feel like "let's explain everything that happens" type of song, it's more about exploring what went and still goes on between them behind the scenes, exploring what we don't get a chance to see.

it's like connecting the dots, in a good way, like you see the full picture after you complete the puzzle.

anyway, stromae is a genius and I am, as always, right this makes me wanna scream even more about "pretend like it's the first time" and how great it is.

timebomb is literally so crazy like. i do not usually fuck with enemies to lovers as a trope but childhood friends to enemies to lovers just hits Different. and even when they were enemies they still cared about each other? ekko never being one of the voices in jinx’s head even when she thought she had killed him on the bridge? ekko admitting that he gave up on her realizing he never quite stopped loving her? fucks me up so bad. ekko surviving the bridge fight becoming the only person jinx has failed to kill ensuring he’s the only one who could have brought her out of her spiral, the living proof that she can be more than just a jinx… they fuck me up soooo bad

Ah, yes, my favourite genre

timebomb documentary

Just got reminded of that after the bridge scene Ekko GOES BACK to check her pulse, and caress her face and JUST STARES AT HER?? I’m sobbing at 7AM in the morning and I have school in an hour wtf man

Apparently Jinx didn’t like fighting Ekko on that fucking bridge and I think that’s very accurate, but like holy SHIT Idk the pure fact that Ekko dodged the explosion, watched Jinx sit there as she was blown up because she simply didn’t want to try anymore and Ekko goes back to check her pulse? He goes back to caress her face and see if she’s still alive?? He’s actively thinking that’s the last time he’ll see her! His big sad soft eyes mixed with regret and worry as he sees the girl he love(s/d) battered and bruised because they were forced to fight.

I'm so glad the artbook came out because now we have a clear confirmation of Jinx's crush on Ekko being the cutest most adorable thing. She draws hearts around him!! She doodles cute little things and romantic confessions too!!! I imagine she spent a long time staring at their pictures and singing to herself and giggling. She's so in love it's sickening in the best way

Three of the four biggest engineers from Piltover and Zaun are MIA, which gives me the perfect opportunity to force an interaction between my faves 🥳

Also them bonding over their complicated relationship with a certain blue-haired pronoun haver:

ekko loving jinx or powder is a meaningless argument cuz the entire point of episode 7 is for both ekko and you the viewer to learn "jinx" and "powder" are the same person and ekko loves that person— not their good side or their bad side, but the whole package.

that's why their love song is called my best enemy, and talks about the worst blessings and the best curses. and that's how he can talk jinx off the ledge. the contradiction of being in love with your enemy is the entire basis of their story.

powder at one point literally asks him point blank "so you want me to change?" and he flat out says no: cuz he knows everything that makes 'powder' powder given one favorable set of circumstances also makes 'jinx' jinx given another set of unfavorable circumstances.

there is no powder or jinx, it's just ekko and his blue-haired paramour, in every timeline.

Watching Arcane is torture. Rewatching it is especially cruel.

But the realisation that as Ekko jumps into battle, we get more confirmation that Jinx's cloak is one of the sheets she put up in her lair for Isha, and that the first lyrics to Come Play are 'you're not alone' symbolising yet again that she's got both of them at her back in this fight....

Just hand me the shovel. I'll dig my own grave

For the timebomb nation I have timebomb birds :)

Ekko meeting his younger self ⏱️💔

Don't mind me just crying that Arcane's opening song "Enemy" had a music video about Jinx and Ekko's relationship when they were kids and how season 2 gave another Jinx and Ekko song which is "My Best Enemy"

Ekko and Jinx are represented by owls and crows respectively...

Owls only fall in love once...

Owls and crows are also each other's natural enemies.....

Sick and TIRED of people claiming Ekko loved Alternate Universe Powder and not main universe Jinx. Throughout the series Ekko has continuously proven that he cares for Jinx dearly, through both canon actions and deleted scenes we know that Ekko cares deeply for Jinx.

Within the AU we're able to see an emotionally available Powder who was able to have a stable support system alongside a flourishing relationship. Which shows that Powder, Jinx, is fully able to be a good person. A normal human girl. Ekko is finally able to see this, that Powder is only so happy because she's lived so peacefully. He's always had a crush on her, it's lingering and it's never gone away. During the bridge scene, and Jinx's debut, we notice that Ekko freezes up both times when seeing jinx face to face. That she's able to draw out strong and violent reactions out of him that aren't exactly rational.

Usually people aren't able to do that to him, he's confrontational and stern because he's the Firelight leader, but we notice that most all of his decisions so far have been well thought out and responsible. In s1e4 we see him look at his stopwatch, see he has little time left before their crystals break, and he STILL goes to pursue Jinx. This is probably because he still harnesses strong feelings of hate towards Jinx, shock and frustration overwhelm him. Because it's Jinx who's done this, one of Silco's goons, but most importantly his childhood friend who's become so twisted. Scar is forced to grab Ekko and stop him before he goes too far, which shows off that Jinx does cause an especially strong emotional response for multiple reasons.

But the bridge scene shows that Ekko still does see the girls he's loved inside of Jinx. He hits her twice, neither time's does he get a good look at her face. But as he's winding up to hit her a third time, he pauses, he looks at her desperate face and he see's nothing more but an innocent girl. Which is why he stops, he still bears affection for her, clearly. The rest of the bridge scene is intimate enough but if I do have to mention anything, people who don't bear feelings for each other don't smirk at the other person like that.

When Ekko finds himself in the AU he's able to see Jinx/Powder in her most healthy form, finding ways of mourning and coping considered healthy. He see's pieces of Jinx inside of this Powder, her potential and what she could be. That's not something you do with someone you don't bear affection for. You don't look at the seemingly perfect version of someone and say that there's something missing; something missing that only versions that have gone through hell have. Pieces of herself that can't be replaced. Ekko doesn't just love Jinx.

He loves her entirety, he loves her innovative mind able of creating the worst war weapons. He loves that she's able to push herself to limits that he couldn't dream of, because he loves her for who she is. In both universes, what we notice is that they're both artists, they're both creators. Powder doesn't discard her love for gadgetry because she didn't experience atrocities, she's still unbelievably smart, being able to help Ekko create the anomaly. Being able to follow along while not knowing anything beforehand.

Jinx is able to crack hex tech with nothing more than Viktor's notes and some tinkering, this shows that no matter what universe, Jinx/Powder is an unbelievably talented and smart girl who could do so much.

Ekko is able to recognize that with Jinx's Genius it comes madness, and he simply would rather have her be both rather than an assistant. Not saying that he wouldn't love Alt Powder, I'm just saying that Arcane Ekko wouldn't be nearly as happy with her rather than Jinx. Because with Jinx comes crazy ideas and a leadership that matches his. That's the Jinx he never fell out of love with.

Even in both of these characters, Jinx and Powder have never been different. In each universe, they never got to blossom yet they're one bud. Two sides of a coin who'd never know the other existed if not for "what if's"

Powder is what Jinx is if she was happy, soft and delicate, she still holds the potential to create extraordinary devices, yet she doesn't because she never had the need to.

Jinx is what Powder would become if she was put under tremendous stress and trauma, devoid of a support system she turns to her gadgetry and weaponry, while slowly losing the part of herself that could be soft.

They both exist in one person, and Ekko is able to see both of them, and give them what they need in order to bloom. He's able to give Jinx unconditional yet not unhealthy amounts of support, and he's able to give Powder the push to expressing herself through her inventions more harshly.

Ekko realizes that Jinx is still Powder, no matter how many times she changes her name. Us as the audience is able to realize that Jinx is still able to love for Powder, because we've seen her interact with Isha. Isha is similar to Powder which is healing for Jinx. When Jinx loses Isha, we can see that she never truly let go of Powder, that Powder was never different from Jinx. That they're simply a part of herself she never wanted to accept until she saw it from another perspective.

But Ekko doesn't know this, yet he still has continuous faith in her that she's capable of change. We see Ekko actively pursue Jinx in order for her not to kill herself, because he loves her. He cares for her deeply and he wants to redeem himself by simply being there, even if he's late. Because what Jinx has needed all along was an unconditional companion. Which is what Ekko can be.

Being the support that someone needs, unconditionally.

If that's not love then I don't know what is.

Ekko is determined not to give up on her anymore, and somehow Ekko has given her reasons to want to be alive. Who knows, if Jinx is really still alive, we might still see these two together 🤧

!!!!!!

We are so back.

Their eyes kissed first ✨️
