MALEDIICTUS!
START private / selective jinx / powder from league of legends & arcane. although this portrayal will take aspects from the game lore, the majority of jinx's mentality / characterization is based on the canon established in the arcane series.
BASICS basic etiquette applies. i practice reblog karma and ask that you do reblog memes / graphics from the source.
TRIGGERS triggering and upsetting material will be present. up to and including mental illness, violence, gore, etc. visuals will be tagged, but please proceed with caution. if we're mutuals, i please ask you tag INSECTS and IRL GORE.
SHIPPING i'm a slut for slowburn, but ultimately, jinx is a complicated and deeply messed up individual, so most relationships will be toxic by default. if you ship jinx and silco i will come at you with a shotgun.
MISC. my name is kim, i'm 32, i love dalmatians so much. long winded essays are my jam.
PROLOGUE it starts in bloodshed (it always does.) a brutal battle ravages through the undercity, sparking a flame that isn't easy to dose. enforcers slaughter indiscriminately, and homes burn to the ground; powder's earliest memories are scarred with the mangled remains of her parents, her sister's breaking sobs. so it goes: the undercity, zaun, always meant to take the beatings piltover dishes out. she's barely five years old when she's taken in by vander - a girl of ash, a weeping child. everything she's ever known taken from her; she clings all the more firmly to all she has left.
ACT I you're growing fast, a weed a jinx, picking up the skills to survive, one heist at a time. clinging to your sister like she's your only lifeline left, waiting for the moment to prove yourself. you only wanted to help. don't go! don't go! don't go don't go don't go don't go don't go -
ACT II people in zaun remember a little girl, hair like the sky, bright blue eyes. tumbling after her family like a little puppy they were never my family. how does that girl become a weapon of destruction, blowing bombs like bubbles in the summer wind? because you're a jinx!!! silco finds you on that night i only wanted to help i only wanted to HELP takes you in. he baptizes you in the river of his oldest sins, and the old life is gone; powder died with her brother's and her soft-hearted father ALL YOUR FAULT ALL YOUR FAULT ALL YOUR FAULT and you tell yourself this is what's best. the whispers in your mind are all that's left of family long ago; yo're shattering, turning into sparks, barely held together.
ACT III here's to the new us, jinx says / pulls the trigger. powder is gone; you'll show them. you will show them all.
