Peeta: hey Haymitch, what do you do if your wife is giving you the silent treatment?
Haymitch: boy, do I look married to you? Idk.
Peeta: WAIT! You and Effie had us OUT OF WEDLOCK?!? Katniss and I are bastards???
Haymitch: get the fuck out of here.
Peeta *while getting shoved out the door*: no! *unrestrained laughter* Katniss will be heartbroken! First we’re in an incest marriage and now we’re bastards?! *boy gets shoved HARD* OW! Why must you do this to me father!!
Arcane god au
Ekko, the god of time and rebellion
Powder, aka Jinx, the trickster goddess of destruction, chaos, anarchy, and creation
Vi the goddess of war, protection, and loyalty
Caitlyn Kiramman, the goddess of law, justice, and order
Viktor the god of evolution, sacrifice, and technology
Jayce Talis the god of innovation, ambition, pride, metalworking, and craftsmanship
Mel Medarda the goddess of light, wisdom, strategy, and influence
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 y’all are just “drawing parallels” where there really aren’t many because they’re 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, it’s 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 Firelights…just saying. (Looking at you Gwen)
Timebomb is what Ghostflower THINKS it is
And when it comes to the actual characters, they’re not similar at all. You cannot tell me you can draw a SINGLE similarity between Jinx and Gwen (or even Powder and Gwen) that isn’t 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 y’all are just saying this because they’re 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. He’s shaped by his environment. Ekko is also genius on an insane level in comparison to Miles…
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 I’m actually gonna cry
And do not say “it’s not that serious it’s all for fun blah blah blah” because it is, to me it is
It's them
Ekko: Should we head over to Piltover now or let them suffer for a bit? *Both laugh* Ekko: Okay, serious question this time – what do you want me to draw on you?
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...
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
good lord .
the tenderness AJKKJDAHAH
you know i've seen a lot of people say oak and suren don't have sizzling chemistry or whatever like jurdan do and i just think that it's not, you know, the same /kind/ of chemistry but still
they don't have the enemies to lovers tension but...see.
oak brushing suren's hair, untangling the curls the way he did with his sisters and mothers hair
oak buying the hairpin for her and pinning it on her hair
oak playing that game with the fox pieces just as they did when they were children and letting suren win but then telling her she owes him a dance
when suren pinned the hairpin on his hair in that scene in the boat
this....whole paragraph
i think their appeal is their tenderness and the way they're so familiar with each other thanks to their childhood friendship. Idk I don't think we should expect Jurdan 2.0 with everything HB writes. Suren and Oak have their own beauty. They're a great example of friends to lovers done well (at least only in the first book) and with substance.
I have delivered🫡
Based on my HC from… literally half a day ago blasting 600 strikes on repeat can do wonders apparently
AMBESSA YOU LEAVE THAT LITTLE CHILD ALONE
