#not how people would look at silco irl and see whatever they think

[jazuthevulcanprincess]

Silco thought he could do literally anything to achieve power, and use that power to make Zaun a sovereign nation. But, the moment Jinx tackled him in a hug and basically asked him to care for her, he lost.

We see him look shocked, and then look up at Vander. Likely, he was empathizing with Powder saying "she is not my sister" and applying it to Vander's betrayal and his own feelings about him after. He chose to accept this child who was like him and decided to give her what he had needed when he was in her shoes. "We will show them all" being his promise; that they both will abandon fear and become strong enough to achieve their dreams.

We see it in Jinx's eye when she looks up from his arm, determination to prove that she is better than Milo said, that she can be strong, she wants to be useful and "ready" so no one will leave her behind like Vi did.

Yet, she also has the weight of her entire murdered family. She internalized from Vi's words and abandonment that she truly is a jinx, and therefore she must be bad. Which I think is why she allies with Silco and his gang, because she basically already worked for him by killing Milo and Claggor, and preventing Vander's successful escape. They all would have left and been fine had she not interfered and she knows that. Just like she never forgot what Silco had done. But, they were the same and she chose him as a father figure.

We don't see Silco be physically affectionate or let his guard down with anyone but Jinx later on, which makes me believe more that him allowing Powder to hug him and holding her isn't normal for him. He could have killed her instead like he planned.

Instead, he fully brings her into his confidence and makes her his family, a daughter to replace the brother he lost perhaps. Every human being needs companionship and Silco is not different just because he does horrible shit. He's human and has human psychology. Them showing Silco has Jinx help *stab him in the eye* regularly shows that she is uniquely close, no one did that before, and he has a hard time without her help.

When Jinx is triggered by her experiment with the hex gemstone, where does she go? To Silco's office. He tells her he can't trust anyone else with building the weapon that will win the war and make their future better. She is his #1, Sevika his #2 as the brothel madam says to Vi. But, she is special.

When Sevika fails, she gets a professional reprimand, and when Jinx hits Piltover he confronts her like an enraged parent. He doesn't hit her like you would expect from someone so regularly violent. And she doesn't seem bothered at all. I think she doesn't regularly get consequences, citing Sevika, Finn, and Rennie's criticism of Silco and how he can't control Jinx, and how that has made him weak and unfit to lead.

Sevika says she is bad for their cause and she is right. Silco ignores or shuts down these criticisms and its unusual because he's is a cutthroat man with a one track mind: to defeat Piltover.

If he was using Jinx for that end, manipulating her as is so often said, he isn't doing a good job. If he was using her and shaping her, she would be his ace, the linchpin in his plan to rule Zaun. She would be his perfect soldier.

But she isn't. She's a liability. All we see is him encourage her, remind her that Vi is gone and can no longer control her or hurt her, he is there to help her, and he thinks she's perfect. That's a father.

Granted, he isn't well versed in mental health so his solution to Jinx's triggers is to give her a baptism so "fear of pain" won't control her; that was his solution so he think it will work for her..

He doesn't know what we know, that PTSD can't be solved by a dip in polluted waters. It's all he can do, however. And protecting Jinx from further trauma by eliminating her sister before she finds out she's back isn't something any of us would do, but it makes sense for his character. He kills problems. He's not gonna set up family counseling for them.

He believes Vi can only hurt Jinx, like Vander hurt him, and Jinx is currently unstable so she can't handle the stress of it. It's not healthy, but that's Zaun.

He also raised her and encouraged her "gadgetry", pushes her to relax with her hobbies and take some time when stressed. He raised her to be strong and raised her to survive in Zaun, so explosives and guns are part of that. She was working on them with Vander and Vi too, and Milo thought she should brawl with them.

The only extra violence he allows Jinx is the same coping mechanism he has of brutalizing people to feel good. If he does it, you expect him to teach her differently? Which is why he isn't an ideal father figure. But, he is the best father he knew how to be.

This is shown to us in the little details of the mug and ashtray we see that Jinx made for him, being on display at all times. He is saying he is proud of her. Even though it doesn't fit his kingpin persona. It's shown in how Jinx goes to him for support, how she wants to make him proud, and how she challenges him like when she mocks his drowning story and his "rants and hard earned lessons". Jinx is comfortable and safe with him, and has agency in their relationship. She disobeys when she deems necessary, like children do.

When we see Silco find Jinx on the bridge, he is stunned and horrified by her injury. When he sees the gemstone in her hand, he has a peculiar blank expression I didn't know how to read at first. But, I think it is the beginning of his realization that he can't sacrifice her for the cause. He thought he could lose /anything/ for power. But, he sees the gemstone, and at the same time the voice over has Cait saying "so it was all for nothing" and I think that's on purpose. If he gains the gemstone at the price of his daughter's life, well its worth nothing to him. And I think that feeling does scare him.

Singed later asks if he is willing to lose her and he can't answer, just says with determination that she can't die, like he won't let her by sheer force of will. Him giving her a forehead kiss, and only on the strap no less, his supposed to show he cares for her, even when he has nothing to gain but her life. Singed sees his love and has to sedate him because he understands.

Silcos character arc wraps up in the dinner scene where he reassures her that she is his daughter and he could never forsake her, which he knows to be true now that he couldn't give her up for Zaun. He isn't mad he's tied up, and he isn't angry when she shoots him. His last words are an affirmation of love, and a plea to be strong.

His character arc culminates in him thinking about protecting someone more than accomplishing his dream. Which is what he hated Vander for. He was undone by having a daughter, like Vander was. He dies a father doing what was best for his daughter. Like Vander did. He finally understands why Vander did what he did, and that family, that Jinx, is worth more than anything.

To be wined and dined by Silco

Here are the promised Silco thoughts. Please bear with me, I've had a lot of some wine, so these may have grammatical mistakes. I've been thinking a lot about how he would wine and dine his lovely, so have this smutty scenario my brain decided to create. Let me know if y’all like these types of bullet point posts, and I’ll try to do more!

Author's note: I do want to stress that sex is NOT transactional. Someone taking you out to dinner or doing something nice for you does not entitle them to any part of you or your body. What is depicted in this thought is an agreed-upon dynamic between two enthusiastically consenting individuals. (I also still plan on writing a sfw version where Silco just spoils his lovely just 'cause.)

- Also, the scenario in this thought does involve wearing a dress/makeup, going somewhere fancy, and being shown off. So, if that is not your vibe there is absolutely no shame, but you should probably skip this one!

- Also, also, PLEASE use common sense and do not do this irl. Waiters deal with enough shit.

There are times when Silco just wants to treat you and tease you at the same time, all while putting on a display of his power for the undercity. It's always a fun night.

He absolutely loves seeing you all dressed up, and the possessive side of him gets to show you off on his arm. It instantly makes him hard to know that the eyes of almost every man (and some women) are on you, but your eyes are only for him.

This is also 1000000% a power display for him. It's good for the Eye of Zaun to be seen confident and happy out in public, and he is always in an excellent mood during this.

Silco always chooses the same restaurant when he's in this mood, so you know exactly what will happen when you agree to go there.

You also love it; it's always a game to see who snaps first, but it's a game you both win in the end.

You take the better part of the afternoon getting ready. It's all part of the game, after all. You want to pick the perfect dress. One that's sleek and classy but with just enough added spice to send Silco reeling.

Anything backless, with a low-neckline, or that heavily incorporates his colors will absolutely do the trick. Sometimes, he will even order you a complete outfit and just have it delivered that morning. The man loves to spoil you.

Sometimes the outfit will also include lingerie. Once or twice, it has included a small vibrator with a handwritten note to wear it to dinner. The remote was delivered straight to him.

You also spend plenty of time on your makeup and hair, and he loves whatever you do. But, honestly, if you have a trademark makeup look or lipstick color, he loves that on you the most. It would be extremely fitting for the Eye's partner to have a signature, identifying look.

Silco always takes the time to refresh himself before sending someone to get you. He wants to look his best for you, and he loves the tension and buildup of the game as much as you do.

The waiter always knows to lead you both through the most crowded part of the restaurant so everyone can see the two of you together.

However, you actually have the most private, secluded back room permanently reserved in Silco's name. The people just need to see the two of you arrive; they don't need to see anything else. It's actually better if their imaginations run wild.

The two of you sit down at your table. The seats are more like fancy, ornate loveseats on either side of the table. They automatically have a cigar and whiskey sitting out for Silco along with your favorite drink.

More often than not, you will start with sitting across from each other, and then the game begins. It begins with teasing, barely suggestive conversation, and heated glances that linger slightly too long.

Seduction is the name of the game. Will he convince you to join him, or will he break first?

Ever so slowly, your hands will just barely brush against each other's, and it sends flickers of desire flooding through both of you.

If he has you wear the vibrator, he turns it on a low setting, and his eyes flicker with barely restrained lust at the way you try to fight the building pleasure. Every sign of the effect it has on you, from the way your hands slightly tremble to an occasional heavily suppressed, breathy whine, makes him painfully hard.

You once tried to argue that it's unfair, but you know the sight of you squirming is just as tempting for him as the feeling is for you. Plus, Silco pointed out that you didn't have to wear it if he asked. However, there would be consequences...... You decide to test that promise at a later time.

The waiter brings the food and a pitcher of water, makes sure you have everything you need, and then leaves. The check is sent to Silco's office, and he worries about it the next day. There is a silent acknowledgment to not bother the two of you unless the building is literally on fire. Even then, it'd better be a really big fire.

If he joins you first:

He does not break often, but if he does? He has exactly one thing on his mind: tasting you.

According to Silco, there isn't enough room for him to properly fuck you, and even if there was, he would have to miss out on all the delightful noises you usually make during sex. Anything you can do decently quietly is fair game here, and most kinds of sex with Silco are not quiet.

That being said, the man will have your legs spread in an absolute instant as he kneels in front of you under the table. If the vibrator was in, he takes it out, wraps it in a napkin, and pockets it. Whatever he has to do to get you bare before him as quickly as possible, he does. He has no time or patience for more teasing.

Your head lolls back to rest on the loveseat as you feel the first stroke of his tongue. He pulls your hips to the front of the seat and pins them down while he has his way with you. Your hand flies to your mouth to try and muffle any sounds that escape, and he feasts on you like a man starved.

After he's been sated (at least for the time being), you quickly get put back together and leave. He's far from finished with you for the night.

If you fold first and join him:

Silco has an absolutely smug, shit-eating smirk on his face as you sit next to him. He can be incredibly cocky when he wants to be, and this is definitely one of those times.

His hand immediately travels to your thigh. If the dress is long, he just caresses your thigh through the material. However, if it's short, his hand is going under the fabric. He grabs your thigh possessively and traces circles on the upper, innermost part with his thumb.

"I see you've decided to join me, my lovely. You've had sinful thoughts in that pretty head all night, haven't you? Well now..... why don't we do something about that."

If you have the vibrator in, he will pull you into his lap and help you through your first orgasm of the night. Silco will turn up the intensity until you can no longer hide your small whines and then reach up to cup your breasts with his hands. He will caress, kiss, and nip at your exposed skin as he massages your breasts until you cum.

If you're not wearing the vibrator that night, Silco's first move is always to finger you. If the dress is long, he pulls it up around your hips just far enough to reach his goal. He teases you over your underwear first and slides a finger over your core before dipping below the fabric. He kisses you hungrily the whole time, muffling any desperate moans that fall from your lips.

Sometimes, when your dress is shorter, you will walk over and sit directly on his lap. The sight of you confidently walking over to sit in his lap and grind against him short-circuits Silco's brain a bit more than he would care to admit.

There are times when you ride him, and he is still the one reducing you to a whimpering mess as you ride his cock. However, this is one of the times where he is more than happy to let you have a little bit of control.

You push his pants and underwear down enough to be out of the way and whimper in pleasure as you lower yourself on his cock. Silco groans in reciprocation and you ride him, taking him hard and deep until you finish, and he follows soon after.

You leave the restaurant with Silco's cum still deep inside you, and it drives his possessive side absolutely insane. He knows that he has marked you in the most intimate way possible, and he is almost always fully hard again by the time you reach your bedroom. Again, your night is far from over.
