[primal]

I'm glad this timelines Jinx/Powder gets to see what Vi looks like all grown up in the other timeline. Thank you Ekko

"No, not my sister. Vi was strong because she was afraid. Her fear of losing us is what made her fight so hard."

[asturianix]

2:14 She uses her Jinx voice for a moment when she takls about what makes her be herself.
And this little moment helps us analyze her identity problem, because it proofs that in both timelines there is a bit of Powder and a bit of Jinx in her.

-Powder is her kindness and love for others.
-Jinx is her wildness and creativity.

And the root of her inner conflict is that she doesnt understand that BOTH parts are important and what make her be herself. Because the traumatic events that she lived in each timeline made her repress one of them, which only caused her pain.

-In timeline A, after being abandoned by Vi, the feelings of loneliness were so hard that she decided to cut every emotional connection that she had before meeting Silco (mainly because he adviced her to do so, since is the self destructive path that he took to deal with his own trauma).
So she was mainly Jinx: The chaothic inventor with a free spirit.
But the Powder in her still wanted her sister back... yet she lacked the trust and emotional stability to be with her again.
And as result, she felt empty and broken.

-While in timeline B, after witnessing Vi's death during one of their adventures, the fear she felt was too big, so she decided to get rid of any adventorous spirit that she had (plus, she grew up in a healthier enviroment away from any danger that would tough her up).
So she was mainly Powder: The kind and friendly girl who just wants to be around those she loves.
But the Jinx in her still wanted to create new things and live aventures... yet she lacked the courage to take that step forward and get out of her comfort zone.
And as result, she felt unfulfilled (Remember Vander's line "You are too smart to spend your life in a bar").


So this girl's story revolves around her growing up and learning to accept both sides of herself.
And thats what she does when at the end, she uses her wildness and inventive nature to help the people of Zaun (remember when they put their hands on their shoulder, and for once she truly felt appreciated)... and her sister.


As Viktor says, the human dilemma is about two sides of the same coin. But you just cant get rid of one of them, as he tried to do with his glorious evolution.

The best thing you can do, is find balance between both.

I like the scene where in 1:45-1:49 where Powder asks Ekko if she wants him to change but he immediately said "No" you can see the hint vulnerability on his tone that he doesn't want to he misses Powder

Ekko is the only person who watched Powder become Jinx in real time. Jinx was a product of her circumstances, not because Powder is a bad person.
Jinx exists because she lost Vander, Mylo, and Claggor in an instant. And instead of having Vi there to comfort her and mourn with her, she had Silco. Silco did _nothing_ to help her heal. He took that heartbroken girl and manipulated that pain into a weapon he could use to take out his anger on Piltover. He took Powder's already fragile mental and emotional state and fractured it further. (It isn't until Jinx is on death's door that I think Silco does display genuine affection for her and realizes that she's more than a tool to him).
But this is a Powder that lost the most important person in her life and was able to go on and heal because she still had a support system that genuinely loved her and Vi.
And you can see that transition. From the accusatory "was it you?" because Ekko still sees the Jinx he knows to the acceptance that Powder was meant to change the world. He's accepting that Jinx did change his world, even if it was largely for the worse. He's inspiring Powder to be more like Jinx. When he finally gets back, he's seen who Powder could've become had her circumstances been different. So he forgives Jinx and even saves her, because he sees that it wasn't her fault that she became Jinx. He sees that Jinx is just Powder in pain and without someone who cares about her to tell her everything is gonna be okay.

Ekko has got to teach me how to draw in the arcane artstyle😭

[Jay-fwjo]

So for there to be a good timeline Vi or powder/jinx has to die

[ardibetrayal]

Their shoes must be wet xD gotta change that

[wjm]

How she suddenly knows that Ekko is from different timeline?

[smileyis]

Conclusion VI one of the reason caused Powder become Jinx.

Jinx is not a psycho from born.

If Jinx saw this Powder with VI, see sis, I am not the one to be blamed with.

If Cathlyn is not VI lover, I hoped to send VI to the other dimension Ekko was in before. So that other world Powder can have her sister back and VI can have her father too.

Jinx will definitely go to other dimension search for Silco if she knows other dimension Silco and Vander is in and is friends.
