I'm NOT Gonna Be Normal About This Anytime Soon

The straights, the lesbians and the gays

I love how Ekko and Jinx had screentime together post-timeskip for about 5 or so minutes, and yet Timebomb's one of the most popular ships in the show and is THE most popular straight ship (over the in-canon ones lmao).

"Ah, if it isn't Zaun's royalty. My liege."

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:

GUYS, GUYS, GUYS !!!

I JUST REWATCHED THE TRAILER OF ARCANE SEASON 2 AND I THINK WE MIGHT GET JINX AND EKKO TEAMING UP

Look!

GREEN AND PINK LIGHTING ON WARRIORS SUITS aka EKKO and JINX COLORS

TECHNOLOGY THAT EKKO USES FOR THE HOVERBOARDS + GREEN LIGHTING

JINX WANTED PAPERS ARE IN FRONT OF A GREEN HOURGLASS aka EKKO'S SYMBOL

I stand by the idea that out of the trio, Polites would be the most willing to manwhore his way out of trouble. No wonder Jay had to kill him off so soon. There would’ve been no conflict. /silly

The amount of people that reduce Jude Duarte's character to being a bloodthirsty killer gets on my nerves. Jude is not bloodthirsty, she doesn't delight in killing people. She is trying to survive in a world that is not meant for mortals, a world that wants to break her.

She forgave Taryn and disguised herself to save Taryn after she killed Locke, took pity for Cardan when seeing him get hit by Balekin, saving the human girl Sophie and cried herself to sleep after she died, and went to save the Ghost even though he betrayed her (yes, I know the reason behind his betrayal).

Every time she takes a life, it's because that person has tried to hurt her back.

Valerian tried to kill her in Chapter 18 when he broke into her home. Jude stabs him in the chest but still tries to help him afterwards.

"He reaches for the blade as though to draw it out. Don't, I say automatically, because that will only make the wound worse. I grab for anything nearby-there is a discarded petticoat in the floor that I can use to stanch the blood. He slides down onto his side, away from me, and sneers, although he can barely open his eyes. You've got to let me-, I start." He despises her but even in his final moments, she wanted to help.

She has suffered so much in life and did things that she had to do to survive. And when she spills blood, it's not for fun. It's to protect herself or the people she loves.

Jude Duarte is not cruel like Balekin or Valerian or sees people as amusements like Locke. Jude is kind, selfless, and puts others before herself.

I love seeing her kick some ass but don't reduce her character to that. She's so much more.

Me when Jude Duarte:

Me when people reduce the complexity of her character to her being a killer (y'all don't get her like I do):

You know that one ship that has the grumpy, pessimistic, traumatized and addictive person who wears 24/7 monotonous colours and then there's the other one who is a walking rainbow, always smiling, optimistic, but also traumatized?

I'll go first
