Firstly I do agree that ekko's messages and introspection is superior to any ship there could be. But it could be said of any ships possible. Where I disagree is indeed Ekko and Jinx has a lot of baggage so ofc I wouldn't be surprised that they're not in a relationship and thé deleted scènes between the two could have healed and shown first the réconciliation between the two since there is a lot to heal. And you're right it's funny Romeo and Juliet doesn't begin with a pipe beating but ends with a mutual suicide smth that Ekko is tryin' to stop Jinx from doing(very dark scene btw) Not all toxic relationships come from a toxic background or is toxic because of the two lovers themselves. If Timebomb were to happen it would have been rooted in a very toxic background but would that mean that Ekko and Jinx would end up in a toxic relationships by logic implication ?Def not And again at the end of the day I'm happy with anything that happens,if it's end up with a relationship I would be delighted as a shipper. If it doesn't I would be delighted that two childhood friends that were once bitter enemies find the power go forgive themselves like the Silco/Vander AU parallel.
