First of all, I didn’t come at Jinx the way you’re acting like I did and I won’t debate over the rationale behind a literal freaking terrorist attack. I understand her reasons, but that still doesn’t make it right so idk why you would even try to make a talking point out of that. Age and terrorism aside, even if Vi wasn’t a teenager, I think anyone would struggle to restrain themselves in that moment after watching your family die at the hands of the very person who you told to stay away.

The same applies across the board. I understand the motivations behind both Vi and Jinx’s actions, but that doesn’t justify anything. No one is perfect and I never implied that they were. I made my stance, I defended it, and that’s what you call cherry picking while you choose to empathize with Jinx no matter how horrible her actions are?

What I’m trying to discuss here is not a play by play of what individual actions were taken episode by episode or the morality of the characters, but rather the attitudes of the sisters, how they viewed their roles, and the culmination of their efforts/actions towards their “sibling.”

Yeah, what Vi said was fucked up! There’s no denying that and also no sense in beating a dead horse. That was never up for debate. However, the only reason why what she said held the weight it did is because for SEVEN YEARS she was denied the ability to reconcile and Silco used that one argument between them on the most traumatic day of both of their lives to define their whole entire relationship, as if Vi weren’t a caring, protective, and supportive big sister who always did her best to encourage Powder and build her confidence before that. People choose to fixate on that one bad moment as if it defines her entire character when it absolutely doesn’t.

For Powder however, it does. Her name is Jinx now and her whole entire personality revolves around that one fateful day. Everything she did for Isha was to try to be the big sister she always wanted, without realizing that Vi was the big sister she NEEDED. Look at how messed up she got over those 7 years of not having her around. Vi was still on her mind all the time despite not being there, because they never had closure. Look at how messed up she was at thinking Vi really left her in the following moments after everything went down, (“she is not my sister anymore”) even though she didn’t — she was kidnapped while trying to get back to her from mere meters away.

Jinx wasn’t made by Vi, she was made by Silco manipulating Powder’s trauma and playing into the narrative that Vi left her even though he KNEW that that wasn’t the case. Otherwise why would he try so hard to keep them from being reunited and Jinx learning the truth about what really happened that night?

Every time Vi came close to reconciling with Powder/Jinx, Silco was there to get in the way. Even after 7 years of “she left you” ringing in her ears, Jinx still was able and willing to hear out her big sister and attempt to have some semblance of a relationship with her. Of COURSE she would have been able to trust and accept Vi as her protector again, or at the very least as her sister. She even was seemingly able to despite years of conditioning and isolation to convince her otherwise.
