Just wanted to let everyone know that my main grishaverse centered account is usually undercover-grisha, not this one anymore. So if this account followed you as a Grishaverse fan, just know it’s undercover-grisha 😊
“Oh, how was Silco ever a coal miner, he’s so weak and scrawny, look at him!”
Look at him???
LOOK AT VANDER AND BENZO
even YOUNG Vander and Benzo!
guys, often times mining isn’t in like a big open cave, standing up and swinging the pick, there’s like a shit ton of instances where you can ONLY sit down and crawl around to mine, and that’s abt it 😭 skinny is PERFECT
the fear of claustrophobia has got to be insane for them (smth I rly think fics should pick up on, nudge nudge)
the thing… with Silco, is that he does notttt work as a guy you fully agree with when you think about him from Ekko’s context
aside from all the actual genuine points Ekko brings up abt how Silco is helping keep Zaun in the dirges and actively trying to control it instead of trying to help it (not that he didn’t START w/ that plan but that is ultimately where Silco ended up you KNOW I’m right)
but like… Silco fucking murdered Ekko’s dad. In front of his face. Benzo was Ekko’s father, he gave that kid a home, he was the first thing that genuinely broke Ekko in the alternate universe. He hugged that man TWICE, initiating BOTH TIMES, and Ekko shows a lot of signs that he doesn’t initiate touch often
and Silco had him splattered him across the streets of an alleyway to get to Vander, and didn’t even care enough about his old friend to make a facial expression.
*taps microphone*
Teenage CaitVi
With Vander and Silco as Vi’s dads and Silco on the council as ambassador to Zaun (bc he actually cares abt the country still and hasn’t become a capitalist drug lord abusing the ppl of Zaun) and Silco finds out his daughter is dating a Piltie through putting together suspicious pieces of a puzzle with Cassandra Kiramman of all people during a council meeting
With Caitlyn seeing what Zaun is like from a younger age (and not doing whatever the fuck they did to her in season 2) and switching her aspirations from Enforcer to Detective
With Caitlyn slowly gaining the respect and love of her girlfriend’s siblings
ok ok ok ok
but in the happy universe where EVERYONE is alive and Silco is like an uncle or another dad to the kids, there’s a lot of sentiment that obviously Powder is his fav
but him interacting w/ Vi? Oh my god.
Fully believe she’d convince him to cut a lightning bolt on the side of her hair, and he ABSOLUTELY fucking would
he’d give Caitlyn the ultimate shovel talk
He’d take her to like skeezy fight clubs w/out Vander’s permission and then they’d try to sneak back home like he’s not a forty year old man with a shared mortgage
Also let us NEVER forget that Vi is canonically an English lit kid, so I def think she would get SO hyped abt what she was reading in school, and talking to Silco abt the moralities and layers in her books would probably make him so thrilled
*When Jayce, Ekko, and Heimerdinger are working together* Heimerdinger: “I’ve always been interested in learning more about Zaun, Ekko. Tell me, how did the cultural practice of slowly eating one’s lover begin?”
Ekko: “…I don’t think that’s a real thing, Professor. And honestly…? Kind of offensive.”
Heimerdinger: “Oh? I’m so sorry then, my boy! It’s just that Jayce here would often show up with bite marks from Viktor. I merely hypothesized that it was cultural!”
Jayce: “AHHA AHA LET’S- LET’S JUST— RUNES!”
before Arcane I wasn’t attracted to big, strong, muscly men, nor really even like older men,
and then that fucking beekeeping dad with his pipe came onscreen and immediately defended his friend from corruption, showed how he’d helped build a caring community, left his busy bar to go parent his children, and then went across the road to talk to his bestie about parenting
and fuck man, that’s my husband. I’m 18 now, and I claim that man as my husband goddamn
started making Ithaca in Minecraft and got attacked by pillagers THREE TIMES, had a WITCH spawn, had it rain for FOUR DAYS AND NIGHTS, have had to kill SIX. SIX. SIX. Endermen. The villager I named Eurylochus consistently hates me. Villager I named Polities DIED. I got lost one time for like SEVERAL days it was TERRIFYING, I had to die just so I’d respawn at my bed.
art really DOES mirror life.
my favorite thing abt watching Arcane reactions is when they do episode 3, and they get thru Claggor and Mylo’s deaths, and they get thru Vander’s death, and they get thru Vi slapping Powder and leaving (to cool down), EVERY SINGLE PERSON will see Silco just like creep out of the shadows and go “oh NO” just SO annoyed it’s funny as fuck
OBSESSED w/ the idea that Vander doesn’t know how to do hair at all (and that’s why teen Vi’s hair looks like that) and so Vi had to help Powder w/ her hair (also obsessed w/ the idea of Vi using so many hair clips on Powder) bc that means that when AU Vi died, Vander had to get better at hair bc Powder didn’t know how to do it, and that’s why he can actually do a bun in the future
that makes me INSANE
