#he would have been ruined politically
my brain every now and again: and he was ready to give up everything in his life for jinx.
me every time: oh my god and he was ready to give up everything in his life for jinx.
She shot him and he called her perfect.

Like, I’m not sure some people quite grasp just how much Silco was willing to sacrifice for her. The whole point of the Finn and Sevika “I saved your ass this time but don’t count on it again” subplot was to show that Silco was on very thin ice politically. If it had come out that he picked Jinx over Zaun he would have been *done*. But he was still going to do it.
And the fact that he showed absolutely no hesitation in the matter. The way he threw himself under the bus instantly to try to protect her. It didn’t matter how long he’d been working for Zaun or how much he wanted it, how many lives he destroyed to get this close. As soon as Jayce asked him to turn his daughter over he instantly thought “Well that’s happening over my dead body.”
That right there is what makes Silco a parent. Because parents are the ones that make those sacrifices for their children.
