#justsilcothings

How my Silco in his main verse (post arcane) generally feels base line about other canon characters.

Vi: At this point he understands that trying to make Jinx choose between him and Vi is only going to hurt Jinx. As much as Silco has no positive feelings towards Vi at all he also has not put a bounty on her head, or anything because he knows that killing or having Vi killed will end up backfiring on him very badly indeed. If he had his way he and Vi would have a begrudging truce between them for Jinx’s benefit.

Caitlyn: He hates her pure, and simple. He has a lot of negative feelings about Vi, but the worst of them have gotten shuffled over onto Caitlyn because Caitlyn is a more viable/safer target than Vi with her not being Jinx's sister. However he’s logical enough to understand that hurting or killing Caitlyn will make things even harder when it comes to dealing with Vi so unless pushed to it he’s not going to deliberately try to harm her. That said if he came across her wounded in an alleyway, and helpless he would very much have to stop and contemplate if he wanted to help her, or let her suffer or die.

Ekko: A pest, but not a priority… at least not until/unless he finds out it was Ekko who got Jinx hurt on the bridge at which point he will want him dead.

Jayce: Arrogant Piltie who doesn’t understand things half as well as he thinks he does. Is however a genius with hextech and creating/inventing/building things. Was at least willing to try to work together which is a point in his favor, and Silco would be willing to try for that again if he thought there was any chance of it but with Jinx having bombed the Council Chamber he doesn’t think there is.

Chem barons in general: Parasites that he accepts he helped create. Silco hoped things would go differently, and they’d be more supportive of The Cause rather than as greedy as they are. He’s starting to want to restructure the whole thing, but isn’t entirely sure how to.

Vander: Doesn’t agree with what he did in terms of making a deal with Grayson, but has a better understanding of it now. Wishes he could have a sit down conversation with Vander, but what’s done is done. Kind of resents Vander for not being the man Silco thinks he could/should have been.

Sevika: One of the very few (as in, two maybe, counting Jinx) he trusts at all. I generally like the idea of them being close to each other and being lowkey friends after all the years working together and all. He very much depends on her, and values her.

Jinx: She’s perfect.

Silco: If you are someone he knows and doesn't have any issues with and you try to take some of his food he'll probably raise an eyebrow at you, but let it happen. Not like he was going to eat all of it anyways. This is for people he's relatively close to like Sevika, Jinx, bodyguards and the like. If you some random person than that's going to cause problems.

Sevika: She will rarely share food and to make this simple/easy only with a significant other (or in a verse were she has someone she's raised as her child, them). Sevika does need to eat a good amount, and doesn't share with just anyone.

Jinx:

She will literally stab you with her fork if she has one, and bite you if she doesn't. She grew up with a lack of food, and even with Silco never lost the habit of being protective over her food (despite him doing his best to ensure she ate properly) so please just don't try. You try to take her food, she gets aggressive.

First things first: This is solely about my Silco, and concerns details I saw in Arcane and personally latched onto. This is by no means the only interpretation nor is it the “correct” interpretation, or any other such thing. People latch onto different things, and explore different concepts and themes and ways of forming their muses and I love that. Whatever I post below is purely for the purposes of explaining my personal thought process, and trying to show how I got to the point I did nothing more.

Second: This is solely about my Silco. Do not reblog. Do not copy, or steal from. Thank you.

TLDR: I take a lot of inspiration from the comments Silco makes about the mines, what Jayce says about making something to help with the mining colonies in the fissures, and Jayce’s comment about Viktor growing up in the fissures. My Silco’s backstory has a heavy connection with mining, and in turn I’ve used a lot of inspiration from real world stuff about company towns and labor wars/coal wars. He also had a younger brother who passed away from a wasting sickness caused by living too close to a mine while dealing with the dust and everything else that came from it, and yes Silco very much places the blame for his brothers death at the feet of Piltover’s greed. My Silco is a fanatic because he’s seen the worst of what Piltover has done to Zaun, and full believes that Zaun deserves better and that Piltover will fundamentally never listen.

Side note: This is not an attempt to excuse what Silco does. He’s not a healthy person, not a good person, is a villain (although I would argue not the villain), and does some very bad things. This is simply my personal thoughts as to how mine ended up in the place he does.

~~~Cut for length.~~~

Outwardly

While inside he's lowkey just

Because yes he keeps invading people's personal space because fuck the Piltie's that's why.

Bonus points for 1/2 of them getting turned on, and not knowing/admitting why.

Rules: Fill out the form according to which muse suits each title best. (The same muse can have multiple titles.) Repost and tag. Feel free to add more!

Favourite Muse: Look, look! I love all my children equally! Silco is the one it’s been hardest for me to figure out plots for lately though. Jinx you’re my favorite don’t tell the others.

Most Character Development: As of right now I’d say Silco actually. Considering he’s the only one I’ve made a permanent character update post for. Jinx is more a case of I’ve been figuring out what she’s like for me, and getting to a point in which she can start developing and changing.

Trash Muse: Not entirely sure what this means. Going off what the person that tagged me said. If using worse deeds probably Silco. If personality, much as I love her I think I’d say Jinx.

The Meme-Lord: I don’t know I’d call any of them a meme-lord? Maybe Jinx?

Most Likely to Start a War: On purpose, and deliberately Silco. By accident by killing the wrong person or something, Jinx.

Worst Personality: I’d say Jinx honestly. She can be so volatile and difficult. Silco is at least vaguely reasonable.

Best Singer: I’m going to say Silco. In order I think Silco, Sevika, Jinx. Jinx last because she has a tendency to go too loud, or off key because of all the explosions she’s been around.

Most Attractive Muse: Honestly that really comes down to personal taste /shrug. As far as I’m concerned they are all very attractive people.

Biggest Heart: Hmmm… I think… I’d go with Silco. His utterly unconditional love for Jinx, and than there’s my backstory for him with his younger brother and taking care of his sibling. Jinx does have a big heart, but there’s conditions on her love. Sevika is actually a reasonable person. If you want to go biggest heart in a HEALTHY way it’d be Sevika.

Falls in Love Quickest: I don’t think any of them are quick. Silco is paranoid, and stand offish. Jinx is either too loyal to Silco, or too traumatized and hurt after he dies. Sevika is stoic, and a workaholic. With that said if I have to pick one I’m going to say Sevika. She’s the healthiest emotionally.

Most Likely to Drop Their Phone in the Toilet: If in a verse with phones, I’m going to say Sevika actually as she has an accident juggling her phone forgetting her prosthetic can’t grip it the same way her organic hand can.

Ice Ruler: Silco’s the only one whose normally a ruler type so I guess Silco?

The Edgelord: Oh Silco absolutely. This gothic drama-queen ex theater-kid brat is absolutely the Edgelord. This asshole (affectionate) keeps his ex-lovers knife on his desk after nearly being murdered by said ex-lover.

Most Tragic Backstory: It’s a toss up between Jinx, and the angst I’ve given Silco. I’m not even sure which is more tragic TBH.

Best Case of Puberty: Jinx. I’m going to say it’s Jinx. At the same time she’s the only one we really see as a kid so could have been one of the others, but I’ma go with Jinx.

Most Awkward: Jinx. No doubt at all. Particularly my Jinx whose not the best at talking to people.

Busy Bee: Probably Silco. He never gets a break. At least Sevika can play cards, and vibe and Jinx has her projects.

Most Clueless: None of them are truly clueless, but if I had to pick one. Jinx. There’s some things she just doesn’t quite get.

Most Likely to Forget Their Wallet at Home: Hate to say it, but Jinx. She’d be distracted by something, and just head right out the door. That said she’s also aware of that fact, and so she always keeps her wallet in the same place close by the door or on a chain on her belt or something else so it’s hard for her to forget it.

Best Dressed: Silco. As much as I love both Sevika, and Jinx’s style I have to go with Silco. His entire outfit is designed to compliment his body in a way that sends a message, and he’s always dressed to the nines.

Biggest Flirt: Sevika. No doubt at all, it’s absolutely Sevika and it’s not even a competition. She enjoys the company of women entirely too much, and is confident and out going and entirely willing to put herself out there. It’s Sevika.

Most Dramatic: Silco with Jinx a very close second. Depending on the day, and mood it might actually be Jinx.

Least Likely to Show Up Late: Sevika. She hates being late. Silco might be late just as a “fuck you” and to prove a point. Jinx might be late just because she got distracted if it’s not something she views as Important for a person whose Important.

One with Weirdest Habit: Probably Jinx honestly. With her mental health issues, and quirks, and everything else I’d say it’s Jinx.

Most Likely to Be Caught at the Gym: No question at all it’s Sevika. Plain and simple. Do I even have to explain? It’s Sevika.
