I Love The Jinx Should've Hit The Towers Bit - Blog Posts

Amen! 🙏

People who say "Caitlyn did the most for the underground by dismantling shimmer and fighting chembarons" makes me laugh so much for two reasons

1. The show establishes multiple times that children work for the chembarons, so they most definitely got caught in the grey. But the show also establishes, through characters like Heenot, that there aren't exactly a lot of job opportunities in Zaun that don't involve the chembarons as they've monopolised most of Zaun's industries. Its something that Caitlyn acknowledges herself when having her leg stitched up by her dad ("choosing between a kingpin and a gov that doesnt give a shit") So I don't see how gassing and then imprisoning these people for life is "helping". She also straight up cocks her gun at unarmed, sickly workers so, no, she really dngaf ab helping

2. I don't blame people for forgetting this one because the show forgets it too, but shimmer is the only form of medicine (as far as we know) that exists in Zaun. Other than Singed, the show doesn't portray the undercity as having any doctors. Every time a character in Zaun is hurt fatally, they use shimmer to heal them. Caitlyn herself knows this, as she gets shimmer for Vi in S1. Ironically, much like in real life, the criminalisation of shimmer would've most likely harmed the underground more than the drug trade itself. Especially after, oh, i don't know, GASSING A CITY WITH A GAS THAT HAS DISABALED PEOPLE PRIOR.

In conclusion, kukluxkirraman (not u switch!Caitie ily) isn't shit and jinx should've hit the towers again
