My sister knew, she knew Silco was my favorite character, and she just let me watch him die! God dang it his and Jinx’s father daughter relationship was probably one of the best in the show because of how much he genuinely seemed to care about her.
Silco said it himself. He could have had everything he worked for and wanted all he had to do was give up on a girl who everyone keeps telling him is a problem. But she was never a problem to him. He raised this Jinx and promised to never abandon or hate her the way other people in her life seemed to whenever she messed up. He saw himself in her and gave them both a second chance at a loyal family.
Fuck it he had his issues but I really think he was a good father for the most part (not even really a bad person if you think about it he was really just trying to free the Undercity from the corrupt upperworld and only did evil experiements to level the playing field against the council that were more technologically advanced and rich). He gave Jinx her own space, encouraged her to tinker with her explosive devices even if they blew up in his face, defended her against those who thought she was incompetent, taught her how to properly defend herself. Did he gaslight her a bunch and gatekeep her? Yes. But he’s just a girlboss that needed therapy, and I think, if the Undercity had a good therapist to help both of them unpack their trauma, they really wouldn’t be so toxic.
Anyway, hot take but I think Jinx should have let Vi die and go with Silco. The problem with Vi is that she is trying to hard to get Powder back that she can’t see Jinx right in front of her which is an issue because if she ignores Jinx she ignores the trauma her sister went through for so many years. She can’t ignore a problem to fix a problem. Silco, on the other hand, loved Jinx as she was and who she grew up to be. He just made the mistake of not taking her to counseling sooner but I still blame most of that on the Undercity’s lack of therapist. Gonna kick all those rich nobles butts. They’re probably hoarding all the good healthcare tbh.
Now, there’s no one left who loves Jinx, only those that love Powder, and it makes me so upset.

Based on that one video made by @/cenikicosplay bc I watched it on a loop while laughing my ass off for a few good minutes the first time I saw it. So naturally I had to shitpost.
Wanna know a secret? Silco thinks he made Jinx, with all his rants and hard-won lessons. “Excise your doubts, Jinx. Be what they fear, Jinx.” Like everything was the same as when Vander left him. But he didn’t make Jinx. You did.
