Canβt believe Silco said this and then died
using tdov as a push to finish this- he used to be the one who helped with injections. now jinx does both of his. he treats "powder" like a deadname for a reason!! THAT'S HER DAD even if he's not great with shots..........
in my mind, Powder declared herself Vi's sister not long after she could talk enough to express the thought, and that was that. Zaun's an easier place than some, but there's still always the struggle of money, so Silco was determined to give her access to any of the help he couldn't get. he used to be better at doing shots himself, though he still leaned on Vander. daily eye injections made that worse.
An epilogue of sorts to this β¨
Something very joyous about Jinx's self expression and Silco. Silco is a very controlling and cold man in a sense. He's not someone with a good reputation both IRL and in the show. His appearance is always ridiculously neat and fancy. Not an inch of skin is revealed and he always looks his best. One would think that under his care Jinx would be forced to present herself in a similar fashion but it's the exact opposite. Jinx is running around the undercity, committing crimes in Silco's name, in a crop top that doesn't even count as a crop top, a pair of overalls that are ripped and halfway down, and a pair of years worn boots. She has fucking tattoos along the side of her body, huge tattoos. Her nails are painted miss-matched colors. Her hair is at such a ridiculous length it would be considered unmanageable AND she has literal bullet casings in her hair.
Arguably NOTHING is serious about Jinx's outfit. She has the hair of a child and the makeup of an adult. Instead of wearing practical clothes that would cover herself against harm and the elements she opted for arm warmers. She has a fucking choker on. The more I look at her the less serious she becomes and the more hysterical it is that this man raised this girl. This man who's so obsessed with perception and looking good doesn't care at all about the amount of skin Jinx reveals or the paper-thinness of her pants or the floppyness of her boots. Not only does Silco have absolutely zero qualms about the way Jinx dresses, he also supports her style. He's the one that bought her those clothes and braided her hair. The gloves she wears were once his. And this could be interpreted in several ways. Maybe Silco genuinely does not give a shit it's her life she can do what she wants. Maybe Silco is understanding because he knows he used to dress similarly to her. Maybe Silco is encouraging of Jinx finding her style because it took him a long time to find his. It's just so fascinating to me because both of their styles are very different but they both get along very well and have no issue with each other's fashion. Additionally Jinx's adult outfit is very different from how she dressed as a child so that's interesting too.
