"Don't cry. You are perfect" - gets me every damn time

I remember someone said: "Her last act as Powder was killing Silco, and her first, true act as Jinx was avenging him."

I would love a season two where silco became one of the voices in jinxs head, but instead of tormenting and guilting her, he would guide and reassure her whenever she needs it

I just love how Silco's final thoughts were not of how his daughter killed him but of how her killing him would have made her feel. He puts his last breath, his last ounce of strength into making sure that she is okay with what she has done, that she's okay with killing him, he tells her not to cry, that she is perfect while making sure that she knows that he wouldn't have betrayed her cause he needs her to know that his love for her was genuine. In spite of her literally snuffing out his own life, his mind's last thought was only her emotional well-being.

The way silco mocked vander for being soft and weak because of his children and ended up becoming like vander because of jinx... Fatherly love really softens anyone

Silco really reminds me of that quote: a hero would sacrifice you for the world, but a villain would sacrifice the world for you.

It’s remarkable how Silco has so many traits of a good father, and yet he’s so deeply damaged that he ends up harming his surrogate daughter in an attempt to help her.

The fact that the therapist is almost crying for almost the whole video says a lot about how powerfull these characters are

If this show made this therapist cry, I 100% TRUST HER

Silco’s irony is that he died the same way Vander was killed by him. By being a father, putting his children first. Fatherhood was what killed him and in his last moments, he truly understood his brother.

I also like how Singed indirectly asked Silco how much Jinx mattered to him and put him down during the surgery, because he knew Silco would definitely interfere

Can't believe a villain was a better father than my dad... Arcane was just a masterpiece of writing and animation.

Two of the most traumatized and messed up characters, yet one of the most beautiful relationships ever

Jinx and Silco’s relationship is wonderfully complex. I don’t thing he’s really a “good” father. But he absolutely is a loving one.

It doesn't even only feel like he doesn't want to lose her, I think he also genuinely knows how much Jinx is haunted by the family she accidentally killed, so when Vi is telling her to remember Mylo, Claggor and Vander, it's triggering Jinx severely and Silco KNOWS this because she's told him about it. This isn't just possessiveness, but that parental need to protect his child.

The reason that Jinx was so badly torn apart was because she was loved by two entirely opposite sides in the same intensity. Neither could give her up nor let her go. Jinx must be the most deeply loved character in this show and yet, the most unfortunate one!

I had friends that genuinely wanted Silco and Jinx to be a couple, and when I said"Why?They are father and daughter", they said"He is not a real dad, plus look at the way they interact.That is so sexual".I was taken aback by this and that made me realize something:there are a lot of people out there that lack this affection between them and their parents, that every gesture makes them flinch and think"that is so sexual!".

When Silco is sitting at Vander’s statue and he says ‘ah it all makes sense now brother’ I think he finally understands why Vander’s priorities changed. The importance of The Nation of Zaun paled in comparison to protecting his children, and I don’t think Silco ever understood that until he was faced with the choice of his dream or keeping Jinx safe

The fact that a so-called "Villian" had more love for a daughter that didn't even share his blood than most of our biological parents to us, it kind of hurts
