Let's not forget that Arcane only existed a few years back but these traits I pointed out was there since her 2013 release. Arcane takes the "Show don't tell" approach to story telling, There's no verbal confirmation that jinx is alive but we choose to believe she is alive from hints that's given. So I think it's always worthwhile to explore the possibilities.
its ok to have an explanation but its canon that shimmer is now just apart of her. she doesnt use shimmer. if anything i think she'd stay away from it bc of the traumatic experience the first time.
"Waaah people corrected me and now I'm sad I look stupid." Common bro you signed up for the scrutiny by even making a yt video. If you can't take it dont make videos.
Ice cold take, we saw by her revival that she got a shimmer “transfusion”, which means of course she is on shimmer, and it’s not killing her it’s the sole reason she is alive by the end of the show.
Actually Jinx dosnt need to take shimmer in order to use her powers. She cab use her powers at will because shimmer is actually part of her chemistry now. So shes basically a hybrid shimmer monster. But a much more advanced version of shimmer. The kind that can give you permanent shimmer powers. Thats what Singed did to her body...he mutated her body when he saved her from dying.
@justanotheryotuber23 No, she just has the side effects of long term Shimmer use on a MINOR MINOR DEGREE. It doesn't affect her like any other Shimmer user. They have a different version of Shimmer than the one Jinx had used on her by Singed.
I don't think it's like that at all sure her taking shimmer when it's clearly injected to her DNA sure, but what he said about her physical appears seems pretty accurate tbh maybe, it's now that it's pumping in her blood that's why her appears is like this lol that just my opinion lol
I hate all these people saying she “uses” the shimmer, it’s clear that it permanently altered her physiology when singed healed her, so it’s not her using shimmer it’s just her running fast
Exactly, and even with all of his faults and wrongdoings, I don't think Silco would have wanted to her doing shimmer either. That's why Singed had to put him to sleep while he was doing the procedure.
Also, the reason she's so different between the universes is because "Our" Jinx is sleep deprived, suicidally depressed, suffering from severe psychosis, is never shown eating anything, is dressed in rags, and is so unused to genuine love and affection that the first time she experiences it from someone who isn't Vi, she practically jumps out of her skin. Other universe Powder is well cared for, well fed, well rested, well dressed, not suffering from psychosis, and although she's melancholic after Vi's death, she certainly isn't suicidal. Trying to make out that the reason for their differences is because Jinx is basically a drug addict ignores so much character development, plot, subtext, and lacks so much human understanding, it would be funny, if people didn't treat IRL people who are suffering the same way. Edit: Also, most of the stuff he mentions, she already suffered with before the shimmer. Even the things that get worse post-shimmer can be put down to a reaction to an insane level of stress and trauma
The issue of why she's pale is due to the sickly environment of Zaun while Vi was stuck in Stillwater Hold. She's got dark circles around her eyes is due to how Shimmer changed her body, but is permanent due to her enhanced physiology caused by the "Apex Shimmer". This is also why her eyes are Violet or Purple is due to the chemical composition of Shimmer. This also means any blood transfusions are very unlikely to be successful, but she has extremely high resistance and endurance because of her new physiology. It is not harmful to her as the only harmful part was the transformation from the triple injection that Singed gave her, which broke her, but enhanced her. She's likely thin due to the fact she's a tinkerer and that she is meant to appear underwhelming. Edit: Removed Redundancies.
The dark circles are because she's been crying and screaming for several episodes. She's pale because there's very little sunlight in the Undercity and she seems drawn to dark shadowy places.
People also forget she’s homeless (living in practically a ravine where sunlight doesn’t reach), was always taken care of until recently and jobless, so not much of a balance diet as powder
This! She was pale even before Singed injected the shimmer into her fully. She just grew up malnourished (likely) and not taken care of properly, despite Silco likely trying his best. Notice the fact that she isn't pale at all in the alternative universe, where she isn't on shimmer either; She's all pink and healthy. And that's because she was raised in a different way, in a different place, in different conditions.
She looks like that because shimmer is in her system... It literally shows what shummer does to people and it would make sense, since it runs in her blood, for her to have some of its effects. Edit: GUYS WHY DO I HAVE 1K LIKES??? NEVER HAD THAT MANY ON HERE BEFORE
Like I told "Mr. Einstein" who posted this clip here: "Well see this is why you should have paid attention during health class... because actually your head Cannon DOESN'T make sense. She's not "dosing" on the Shimmer. The Shimmer was a procedure given to her to save her life. When her eyes glow that's because her ADRENALINE is pumping in her body. Only an idiot would think she immediately dosed herself after ISHA FELL ON HER when they first met. If you notice her eyes started glowing because she was PISSED OFF at first because somebody fell on her, but when she realized it was a CHILD, her eyes started to dim. If she was "dosing" like your pathetic theory says, it would take time for her High to calm down. You don't turn a hide off or on when you're dosing on something. It has to wear off." From where I said the only junkie high on something is the dude who posted this video.
Whenever she is not fighting her eyes doesn't really glow, however on most fight scenes her eyes are glowing, I assume this is because she is dosing herself with shimmer, It's headcanon but it makes sense since otherwise she'd be Fighting people with Hextech weapon like Vi or Caitlyn with no advantage of her own.
@@animegaminggroupyou know, you're completely wrong because her eyes are glowing. Only because she has shimmer in her body, did you even watch the episode where the guy gives her shimmer, I can't really spell his name, but he gets her shimmer. Wow basically puts it inside of her body, where she has it permanently there, and she looks worse through out the show, because her mental state is terrible, she gets hallucinations and she has high amounts of trauma so you're completely wrong, and I don't care if this is some type of fucking head Canon it's wrong, and you should really look up stuff before you put it on UA-cam because you're making people mad
@animegaminggroup she isn't dosing herself, its more likely a side affect of the shimmer used to revive her. If you pay attention her shimmer eyes only appear AFTER she was revived
Shimmer was literally created to bring back his daughter, so when she was dying he used a mutant version of shimmer the kind he actually was creating to bring people back to life or make them monsters.
No, she is paler because she spends most of her days hidding in her woman cave, unlike powder who goes to the outside regularly. She does no "use" shimmer at all, its on her system at all times, it only activates when she gets excited. It's not hurting her infact it's what saved her life from the explosion from S1E7
She has pale skin due to her living in Zaun and not getting much sunlight. Her eyes have dark circles due to makeup. And she’s thinner probably due to her diet.
She's conpletely shimmered up. She just activates its effects in times of crisi/chaos. Having pale skin and black rings under your eyes aren't always drug related. I had severe depression and was suicidal after losing my daughter; dealing with yourself (voices of disproval, constant doubt and distrust) is unbelievably exhausting. One is hyper alert and constantly fighting with the part that wants to give up. Insomnia is a huge part of it and that causes one to lose weight, have pale skin and yes; huge dark rings under your eyes.
She doesnt really use shimmer the same way other people do. Its more like its connected to her adrenaline system, because it was infused into her bloodstream after he fight with Ekko
No, shimmer is literally a part of her now. Her eyes change situationally based upon mood. In fact, during fights scenes they go from normal to intensely bright depending on her specific actions. She isn’t dosing between scenes man.
I agree your statement about shimmer being part of her and that she is super adaptable to it, But my thinking that it's like the boys and the V serum, they have superpowers because of the serum but if the take they V serum their power gets boosted. Also I don't think singed ever mention she'd bee free of the side effect of shimmer and not need another dose ( I may be wrong), Otherwise Warwick would not have a shimmer tank constantly feeding shimmer to him.
@@animegaminggroup This theory doesn’t make sense because when she meets Isha her eyes glow for like 5 seconds, mind you she didn’t take anything because they had been a muted purple like five seconds before. They glowed for like five second before they dimmed back when she realized it was a kid. It’s the adrenaline. This scene is probably one of the most significant ones that prove your theory wrong.
@@animegaminggroupMy guy, you thought you had a big brained theory BUT IT’S NOT. You just look like an idiot who didn’t pay attention to the show. Shimmer IS NOT like the V-Serum, we literally SEE how it affects people and we SEE the variants MADE to mutate people. Your normal Shimmer doesn’t give people powers but makes them sick. Homie it is a DRUG. A LITERAL DRUG THAT GETS YOU HIGH. Not to mention it is VERY CLEAR Warwicks own serum concoction is DIFFERENT from Jinx’s considering his body is Frankenstein’s body. Singed essentially made shimmer APART of Jinx to keep her alive, it is apart of her and like the previous person said looks like it’s attached to adrenaline. She is not dosing herself. Arcane is a VERY deliberate show from the colors, lighting, positions and so on. If that was the case, they would have shown/led to it. Look at the council member with the painted shimmer, it’s never said outright, but it is SHOWN to us. You’re trying to make a big theory on something that doesn’t need it because WE KNOW THE ANSWER. Singed wasn’t trying to give people powers like Vaught with the V-Serum, he was trying to find immortality to bring his daughter back. He got closer with Jinx, thus his concoction is modified with Warwick. AU Powder is different because SHE NEVER WAS ON DEATHS DOOR. Silco NEVER had shimmer created. She had a STABLE home and FAMILY. Zaun is THRIVING. Giant differences between her life there and in the current universe. Did you honestly not pay attention to the show???
@@animegaminggroupEXCEPT, this shimmer does not need additional dosages. It's not the same shimmer that is provided to others! Granted, it does have side effects, of course - Her mental state gets worse, after she's injected with the special shimmer. But, she doesn't need dosages; I'm pretty sure it's the same kind of situation as it's in Asterix & Obelix. She's injected with it fully, even if she takes more, it doesn't really do anything. Also, Warwick wasn't nearly DONE being injected with shimmer, but not because he needed dosages; Rather, because he hadn't been fully merged with the beast Singed was merging him with. If he was, he wouldn't have the memory of Powder, or Vi, or Felicia. And he did, didn't he? Jinx was injected with a LOT of shimmer; We don't see how much, but judging by how she reacts when Singed is injecting it into her, I'd say that it's a large amount. It's something permanent; Supposed to keep her alive. Remember, Singed is trying to bring back his daughter (or, well, he did). It's no use to bring her back for a few moments, just so that she falls ill again because she didn't get a dosage. It'd make more sense, if it was something permanent, one time ticket kinda thing; You get injected, it stays forever.
@animegaminggroup so are you still implying that she's shooting up in-between parts to "enhance" the power cuz seriously be realistic pal maybe rewatch it idk how you literally think during battles especially with vi she had time to yank it out and guzzle it down shes not even close combat fighter like shes got time to worry about shooting up, same with the reference to Isha and references to every other time her eyes glowed during non fighting scenes and fighting scenes they never once show a chance for her to take a sip of it so idk what your refering to. I also think it's an insult when many people wanna continuing stating she's a Junkie. As for her appearance she's thin just like many growing in poverty, low on some vitamin D cuz they ain't got no sun and then eye bags could be from lack of sleep but also heavily dark make up notice how she's got streaks while crying or are thos decayed veins according to your theory? Also ever take into fact zauns air quality is so poor that they literally had to suck the worse of it behind chambers? Them chambers don't fix all of it so again pal where is she's shooting this shimmer? Her entire body is made of shimmer which is genetically part of her I had someone literally state the same CR your spewing which again having something modify your DNA and system like radiation is not the same as using street drugs.
This is also pretty incorrect if you take into account that her mental health problems could be making sleep very difficult for her and she doesn’t eat and focuses on making shit. She has never once shown any regard for her own personal safety or condition which only backs up what I’m saying. Shimmer also isn’t a normal drug like what exists in the real world. Her blood and body produces shimmer all on its own. Which makes it fairly difficult to be addicted when it’s a part of you. The symptoms you reference to aren’t because the drug does it to them but because most extreme addicts start to disregard their own bodies needs in trying to get their fix.
ALSO. Pale skin cause- she lives in zaun, the UNDERCITY. Not a lot of tanning down there. Dark circles under her eyes- lack of sleep, jinx wears makeup also. Noticable small frame- lack of food, jinx doesn’t take much care of herself. Plus she doesn’t have much muscle on her, EXEPT for her stomach, giving her strenth of mobility.
she's paler because she lived her whole life in zaun and not seeing the sun at all, and the dark circles are either makeup or because she's been crying. She doesn't USE shimmer, she was literally revived with it and she can't "get off it" or not use it
The difference is in color theory and legit different jinx models. The undereyes appear darker bc of her new eye color contrasts, but also, in the past the animators purposely used 2 different jinx face modles to show when she's allowing "powder" or "jinx" to the surface. Powder's face model is rounder than jinx's face, and if you look closely you can see them alternate in the first season pretty often.
The dark under her eyes is makeup we see it melt away every time she cry’s and you can’t compare a jinx that has only seen war,battle, and hardships vs one that lost her sister as a kid and everyone living with no problems of course she’s gonna look more cleaned up
Powder in the alternate universe just gets more sun dude. Wtf is this theory i cant even. So according to you instead of looking for vi she should have been looking for her next high, but your theory doesnt hold water. At all. It sinks as soon as you look at it too hard
Shes not on shimmer in the typical sense... Shes literally like combined with the shimmer. It was permanently made into part of her when the dude saved her from dying
They essential made her into a super soldier when they saved her life in the first season. I don't think she's actively using shimmer or she would be getting more side effects the more she used it.
I know her eyes changed color when Singed saved her. Whenever she’s not fighting, her eye color appears muted and doesn’t really glow. However, during most fight scenes, her eyes are glowing. I assume this is because she’s dosing herself with Shimmer. It’s just a headcanon, but it makes sense; otherwise, she’d be fighting people with Hextech weapons, like Vi or Caitlyn, without any advantage of her own. Think of it like the V serum from The Boys. They have superpowers because of the serum, but when they take more of it, their powers get a boost. You’re free to agree or disagree about whether she injects additional Shimmer, since it’s not explicitly shown. However, in the final episode, you can see veins appearing under her eyes-that’s likely a side effect of Shimmer. Regardless of whether her condition is deteriorating due to Shimmer or depression, leaving Zaun is still the best solution for her.
I think that she doesn't dose herself with shimer but more or less the strength/speed is a effect off the surgery that singed did (I think he injected her with a better, not addictive, and more or less ever lasting better developed version of shimmer
I don't think she's actually dosing herself with Shimmer since one is a variant she had so it might have been non addictive to it's also the fact that her eyes glow randomly purple whenever she's in a fight
I don’t think she’s dosing herself, I think these are side effects that come and go. Mainly in the type of circumstances mentioned in the video. When she meets Isha her eyes glow like “alright who’s trying to kill me now” and they go back to a muted purple when she sees it’s a kid.
And she doesn’t have access to the hybrid shimmer that was used on her. Even if she was dosing herself. In the fight scene with Sevika and Smeech, her eyes glowed but how would she know to take shimmer? It was a sneak attack.
With how much the show tells you and gives you information this is honestly the stupidest take. Her heart pumps its own shimmer because she literally was going to die. She set a bomb off inches away. The fact she was breathing when they found her is a miracle . And we’ve seen singe make Vander into a creature despite being dead by using a new alive heart. He must have done something with the hybrid shimmer and her organs so that she produces it. That’s why in extreme emotional or physical distress you see the body release the shimmer through her tears and also WHY SHES ABLE TO MOVE AND TRANSFORMS THE WAY SHE DOES. I usually love your takes but you’re scrapping the sides of the peanut butter jar with this one.
The thing is singed's shimmer is not the same he provided to all. Includes those loyal to silco, Jinx and, Silco himself, and the poor ppl who had tumors. most of them need to take it shimmer to get shimmer power then it will be gone. But jinx had shimmer part of her not as a curse like those ppl with tumor that Viktor saved but a blessing that gave her a second live
she was already like that on s1 before shimmer, the reason Powder looks younger than Jinx is because of factors like stress, malnutrition and living conditions
Nnnooo? She doesn't even use shimmer. I thought it had been made pretty clear that whatever treatment Singed put her through made shimmer a part of her.
She's not dosing herself, shimmer is now apart of her after singed saved her, but that doesn't it's not killing her, it was never made clear about how it effects her fully including withdraw symptoms if any, if that was a perfected version of shimmer than silco wouldv'e used it more or singed. there's always side effects from using shimmer, and comparing to how jinx looks in season 2 I agree it could be.
i personally don’t think she uses shimmer but rather it’s apart of her biology now. i think singed used like super grade shimmer that like stays in her system and comes out when her body senses danger. that’s just my opinion though
In the au Zaun was in a much better condition, he air was cleaner and the people lived healthier lives, there's also proper sunlight reaching their city, the reason being why Powder has a healthy tan and some colour to her skin , along with a healthier diet.
It's more like she out of it and barely eat and sleep much it does calls people to be light and bags under her eyes but yea she needed to leave zaun alot happen
Bro got it right when he said that it was because they grew up on different conditions and then connected it to something that is like wildly off topic
Actually the shimmer basically bonded with her in a way that didn't with all others, her thin fram is just cuz she's just tiny lol and the dark circles is basically just stress lack of sleep or just eyeshadow
She has an evolved version of shimmer, in a smaller, but constant permanent dose. This allows her to use he shimmer powers without becoming a crackhead or a monster.
Yeah she is on what Singed called “Apex Shinmer” That why she is able to keep up with Warwick’s speed. ( another being whose blood contains apex shimmer )
Or it could be symptoms of eating discorders. Did you notice how her symptoms lessened when Isha was there and got better after Isha died? Yeah, Jinx probably has anorexia.
It should also be pointed out that Shimmer is more of a Healing Agent than a Drug, it was intended by Singed to be a prototype for his immortality project, but of course he needed benefactors to help support it like Silico, so Silico used it as a drug and Singed probably took advantage of the free test subjects he could experiment on and see the results. Hence when Viktor shows up he is given a “variant,” its pure Shimmer. Not the drug, it didn’t corrupt him. To be honest Jinx is probably the case scenario Singed had in mind making Shimmer, saving a girl he loved from dying, hence why physically her appearance didn’t chance much but she gained extremely fast reflexes.
These exact same symptoms are also the same as damn near every trauma-related mental illness due to stress and lack of sleep. The reason Powder doesn't look like that is because she's not a traumatized mess like the mainline Jinx
I know that Jinx doesn't need shimmer since her body has been mutated but I prefer the headcannon that her powers are activated by using shimmer, because it deepens the convo around addiction and it's affects. I hope Jinx can stand the withdrawals once she's out of Zaun.
Actually she got dosed with the shimmer variant it has no negative side effects other then the immediate shown case however beyond that it isn't known but is permanent as far as we know !
This jinx is messed up in her mind everytime i heard her screaming mostly when she was saved by the doctor my heart sank. I can relate to her but hell is empty, the devils are here - W. Shakespeare
It's more of an adrenaline rush and doesn't really harm you unlike applying it to people not needing to literally survive with it producing and pumping through their body.
So are the symptoms of iron deficiency anemia (I have that), dehydration and malnutrition. She's just a person that lives in a hostile environment. We can also think that she probably doesn't eat as much, even if she have food, because of her focus on her gadgets and obvious depression and psycosis. She just "uses" shimmer one time to be revived and now the shimmer is in her blood, but she had those traits even before that.
Let's not forget that Arcane only existed a few years back but these traits I pointed out was there since her 2013 release.
Arcane takes the "Show don't tell" approach to story telling, There's no verbal confirmation that jinx is alive but we choose to believe she is alive from hints that's given.

Yeah, the shimmer that is commonly used as a drug is way less pure and stable. It’s the stuff they can’t use as a power source.
Yeah I remember hearing somewhere that Jinx is closer to a shimmerbeast now than a human
Apex shimmer like what Warwick had
Yeah her shimmer was yellow (the potion color)
Yap. She doesn't use it when she has to or want to. She is one with shimmer now.
She doesn't use Shimmer. She was brought back to life with a perfected Shimmer, infusing it into her DNA.

She's conpletely shimmered up. She just activates its effects in times of crisi/chaos. Having pale skin and black rings under your eyes aren't always drug related. I had severe depression and was suicidal after losing my daughter; dealing with yourself (voices of disproval, constant doubt and distrust) is unbelievably exhausting. One is hyper alert and constantly fighting with the part that wants to give up. Insomnia is a huge part of it and that causes one to lose weight, have pale skin and yes; huge dark rings under your eyes.
So sorry for your lost. Cant imagine how painful it has been for you and how strong you had to be. Wishing you and your family the best
@LostPsicomatrix Thank you for your kindness. Happy holidays.
She doesnt really use shimmer the same way other people do. Its more like its connected to her adrenaline system, because it was infused into her bloodstream after he fight with Ekko
Happy life, VS, a nightmare life. There's gonna be differences.
No, shimmer is literally a part of her now. Her eyes change situationally based upon mood. In fact, during fights scenes they go from normal to intensely bright depending on her specific actions. She isn’t dosing between scenes man.
I agree your statement about shimmer being part of her and that she is super adaptable to it, But my thinking that it's like the boys and the V serum, they have superpowers because of the serum but if the take they V serum their power gets boosted. Also I don't think singed ever mention she'd bee free of the side effect of shimmer and not need another dose ( I may be wrong), Otherwise Warwick would not have a shimmer tank constantly feeding shimmer to him.
@@animegaminggroup This theory doesn’t make sense because when she meets Isha her eyes glow for like 5 seconds, mind you she didn’t take anything because they had been a muted purple like five seconds before. They glowed for like five second before they dimmed back when she realized it was a kid. It’s the adrenaline. This scene is probably one of the most significant ones that prove your theory wrong.
@@animegaminggroupMy guy, you thought you had a big brained theory BUT IT’S NOT. You just look like an idiot who didn’t pay attention to the show.
Shimmer IS NOT like the V-Serum, we literally SEE how it affects people and we SEE the variants MADE to mutate people. Your normal Shimmer doesn’t give people powers but makes them sick. Homie it is a DRUG. A LITERAL DRUG THAT GETS YOU HIGH. Not to mention it is VERY CLEAR Warwicks own serum concoction is DIFFERENT from Jinx’s considering his body is Frankenstein’s body. Singed essentially made shimmer APART of Jinx to keep her alive, it is apart of her and like the previous person said looks like it’s attached to adrenaline. She is not dosing herself. Arcane is a VERY deliberate show from the colors, lighting, positions and so on. If that was the case, they would have shown/led to it. Look at the council member with the painted shimmer, it’s never said outright, but it is SHOWN to us. You’re trying to make a big theory on something that doesn’t need it because WE KNOW THE ANSWER. Singed wasn’t trying to give people powers like Vaught with the V-Serum, he was trying to find immortality to bring his daughter back. He got closer with Jinx, thus his concoction is modified with Warwick.
AU Powder is different because SHE NEVER WAS ON DEATHS DOOR. Silco NEVER had shimmer created. She had a STABLE home and FAMILY. Zaun is THRIVING. Giant differences between her life there and in the current universe.
Did you honestly not pay attention to the show???
@@animegaminggroupEXCEPT, this shimmer does not need additional dosages. It's not the same shimmer that is provided to others! Granted, it does have side effects, of course - Her mental state gets worse, after she's injected with the special shimmer.
But, she doesn't need dosages; I'm pretty sure it's the same kind of situation as it's in Asterix & Obelix. She's injected with it fully, even if she takes more, it doesn't really do anything.
Also, Warwick wasn't nearly DONE being injected with shimmer, but not because he needed dosages; Rather, because he hadn't been fully merged with the beast Singed was merging him with. If he was, he wouldn't have the memory of Powder, or Vi, or Felicia. And he did, didn't he?
Jinx was injected with a LOT of shimmer; We don't see how much, but judging by how she reacts when Singed is injecting it into her, I'd say that it's a large amount. It's something permanent; Supposed to keep her alive. Remember, Singed is trying to bring back his daughter (or, well, he did).
It's no use to bring her back for a few moments, just so that she falls ill again because she didn't get a dosage. It'd make more sense, if it was something permanent, one time ticket kinda thing; You get injected, it stays forever.
@animegaminggroup so are you still implying that she's shooting up in-between parts to "enhance" the power cuz seriously be realistic pal maybe rewatch it idk how you literally think during battles especially with vi she had time to yank it out and guzzle it down shes not even close combat fighter like shes got time to worry about shooting up, same with the reference to Isha and references to every other time her eyes glowed during non fighting scenes and fighting scenes they never once show a chance for her to take a sip of it so idk what your refering to. I also think it's an insult when many people wanna continuing stating she's a Junkie. As for her appearance she's thin just like many growing in poverty, low on some vitamin D cuz they ain't got no sun and then eye bags could be from lack of sleep but also heavily dark make up notice how she's got streaks while crying or are thos decayed veins according to your theory? Also ever take into fact zauns air quality is so poor that they literally had to suck the worse of it behind chambers? Them chambers don't fix all of it so again pal where is she's shooting this shimmer? Her entire body is made of shimmer which is genetically part of her I had someone literally state the same CR your spewing which again having something modify your DNA and system like radiation is not the same as using street drugs.
She literally looked like this before shimmer injection
This is also pretty incorrect if you take into account that her mental health problems could be making sleep very difficult for her and she doesn’t eat and focuses on making shit. She has never once shown any regard for her own personal safety or condition which only backs up what I’m saying. Shimmer also isn’t a normal drug like what exists in the real world. Her blood and body produces shimmer all on its own. Which makes it fairly difficult to be addicted when it’s a part of you. The symptoms you reference to aren’t because the drug does it to them but because most extreme addicts start to disregard their own bodies needs in trying to get their fix.
ALSO.
Pale skin cause- she lives in zaun, the UNDERCITY. Not a lot of tanning down there.
Dark circles under her eyes- lack of sleep, jinx wears makeup also.
Noticable small frame- lack of food, jinx doesn’t take much care of herself. Plus she doesn’t have much muscle on her, EXEPT for her stomach, giving her strenth of mobility.
she's paler because she lived her whole life in zaun and not seeing the sun at all, and the dark circles are either makeup or because she's been crying. She doesn't USE shimmer, she was literally revived with it and she can't "get off it" or not use it
If you do more research jinxes eyes glow pink when she's stressed
The difference is in color theory and legit different jinx models. The undereyes appear darker bc of her new eye color contrasts, but also, in the past the animators purposely used 2 different jinx face modles to show when she's allowing "powder" or "jinx" to the surface. Powder's face model is rounder than jinx's face, and if you look closely you can see them alternate in the first season pretty often.
Jinx produces shimmer in her adrenal gland, she doesn't "use" it
never realised this, until I saw in the first season where her skin was a normal light tan’ish colour, but now she is just pale and looks tired
Maybe shes mentally ill and doesnt eat much, doesnt sleep much cuz she’s always working on her gadgets, and doesnt get much sun 🤷🏻♂️
Well, she also looks rough because she’s been through shit..
The dark under her eyes is makeup we see it melt away every time she cry’s and you can’t compare a jinx that has only seen war,battle, and hardships vs one that lost her sister as a kid and everyone living with no problems of course she’s gonna look more cleaned up
Powder in the alternate universe just gets more sun dude. Wtf is this theory i cant even. So according to you instead of looking for vi she should have been looking for her next high, but your theory doesnt hold water. At all. It sinks as soon as you look at it too hard
Its uh…. Malnutrition not opiate addiction, she doesn’t take shimmer that we know of beyond the initap transfusion
Shes not on shimmer in the typical sense... Shes literally like combined with the shimmer. It was permanently made into part of her when the dude saved her from dying
Jinx isn’t addicted to shimmer.
Shimmer is a part of her body, it runs through her veins, keeps her alive and her mind falling apart.
She doesn't use shimmer, she has apex shimmer it is a part of her now
Lol. Bro wasn't paying attention at all
They essential made her into a super soldier when they saved her life in the first season. I don't think she's actively using shimmer or she would be getting more side effects the more she used it.
💀her eye bags dont mean shes dying
I know her eyes changed color when Singed saved her. Whenever she’s not fighting, her eye color appears muted and doesn’t really glow. However, during most fight scenes, her eyes are glowing. I assume this is because she’s dosing herself with Shimmer. It’s just a headcanon, but it makes sense; otherwise, she’d be fighting people with Hextech weapons, like Vi or Caitlyn, without any advantage of her own.
Think of it like the V serum from The Boys. They have superpowers because of the serum, but when they take more of it, their powers get a boost.
You’re free to agree or disagree about whether she injects additional Shimmer, since it’s not explicitly shown. However, in the final episode, you can see veins appearing under her eyes-that’s likely a side effect of Shimmer.
Regardless of whether her condition is deteriorating due to Shimmer or depression, leaving Zaun is still the best solution for her.
I think that she doesn't dose herself with shimer but more or less the strength/speed is a effect off the surgery that singed did (I think he injected her with a better, not addictive, and more or less ever lasting better developed version of shimmer
I don't think she's actually dosing herself with Shimmer since one is a variant she had so it might have been non addictive to it's also the fact that her eyes glow randomly purple whenever she's in a fight
I don’t think she’s dosing herself, I think these are side effects that come and go. Mainly in the type of circumstances mentioned in the video. When she meets Isha her eyes glow like “alright who’s trying to kill me now” and they go back to a muted purple when she sees it’s a kid.
And she doesn’t have access to the hybrid shimmer that was used on her. Even if she was dosing herself. In the fight scene with Sevika and Smeech, her eyes glowed but how would she know to take shimmer? It was a sneak attack.
With how much the show tells you and gives you information this is honestly the stupidest take. Her heart pumps its own shimmer because she literally was going to die. She set a bomb off inches away. The fact she was breathing when they found her is a miracle . And we’ve seen singe make Vander into a creature despite being dead by using a new alive heart. He must have done something with the hybrid shimmer and her organs so that she produces it. That’s why in extreme emotional or physical distress you see the body release the shimmer through her tears and also WHY SHES ABLE TO MOVE AND TRANSFORMS THE WAY SHE DOES. I usually love your takes but you’re scrapping the sides of the peanut butter jar with this one.
The thing is singed's shimmer is not the same he provided to all.
Includes those loyal to silco, Jinx and, Silco himself, and the poor ppl who had tumors. most of them need to take it shimmer to get shimmer power then it will be gone.
But jinx had shimmer part of her not as a curse like those ppl with tumor that Viktor saved but a blessing that gave her a second live
she was already like that on s1 before shimmer, the reason Powder looks younger than Jinx is because of factors like stress, malnutrition and living conditions
Nnnooo? She doesn't even use shimmer. I thought it had been made pretty clear that whatever treatment Singed put her through made shimmer a part of her.
I dont think she uses shimmer like others, i think its just apart of her now after the surgery from singed.
She's not dosing herself, shimmer is now apart of her after singed saved her, but that doesn't it's not killing her, it was never made clear about how it effects her fully including withdraw symptoms if any, if that was a perfected version of shimmer than silco wouldv'e used it more or singed. there's always side effects from using shimmer, and comparing to how jinx looks in season 2 I agree it could be.
She doesn’t use shimmer and that isn’t why she looks way worse, it a because of the environment she grew up in / is currently living in.
i personally don’t think she uses shimmer but rather it’s apart of her biology now. i think singed used like super grade shimmer that like stays in her system and comes out when her body senses danger. that’s just my opinion though
Bro bought his likes cuz he knows he’s wrong💀
Her Sandevistan 😂
She doesn't use shimmer it's a part of her now
Love thats there now a lore based reason for jinxes passive in game
In the au Zaun was in a much better condition, he air was cleaner and the people lived healthier lives, there's also proper sunlight reaching their city, the reason being why Powder has a healthy tan and some colour to her skin , along with a healthier diet.
Jinx isn’t taking shimmer. Shimmer is already in her
she looks like that before
I’m pretty sure Jinx is just a shimmer mutant now that she was brought back to life with it.
Wow this dude managed to point something out and make jinx in arcane a trigger for me yippee
But also.....
LATERAL MALNOURISHMENT
Such a powerful and moving story. Arcane is a true work of art.🔥❤️
Shimmer is this world version of drugs.
It's more like she out of it and barely eat and sleep much it does calls people to be light and bags under her eyes but yea she needed to leave zaun alot happen
The first time we see Jinx’s pink eyes is when she is a kid. Hugging Silco.
"how many shimmer does jinx needs?" - Singed
"Yes" - Silco
Him : Dark Circle in her eyes, symptoms of addiction.
Make Up : 👁️👄👁️
You can also see that there are dark-purple veins forming around her eyes.
Did you watch the show with your eyes closed?
Her eyes are glowing because of her passive in game, also the reason she is extremenly fast at times
She looked like that before she was even brought back to life, let alone that’s not even how her powers work
Say you didn’t watch Arcane without saying you didn’t watch Arcane:
Döner in Dubaistyle reicht schon aus um Kundschaft ab zuzocken ....😂
“Jinx looks like shit so clearly she’s on drugs.”
Bro she is *grieving* 😭
Silco came to Singed with a dying daughter in his arms. The very man who also has been on a journey to cure his own daughter, Orianna.
Bro sounds like me when I have an essay due with zero studying
Bro got it right when he said that it was because they grew up on different conditions and then connected it to something that is like wildly off topic
Actually the shimmer basically bonded with her in a way that didn't with all others, her thin fram is just cuz she's just tiny lol and the dark circles is basically just stress lack of sleep or just eyeshadow
she looks that way because of where she lives, powder in the AU lives in the sun and isn't malnourished unlike jinx that lives in the undercity
She has an evolved version of shimmer, in a smaller, but constant permanent dose. This allows her to use he shimmer powers without becoming a crackhead or a monster.
Either way you watched Arcane or not, the message remain the same: "Don't do drugs."
Yeah she is on what Singed called “Apex Shinmer”
That why she is able to keep up with Warwick’s speed. ( another being whose blood contains apex shimmer )
Or it could be symptoms of eating discorders. Did you notice how her symptoms lessened when Isha was there and got better after Isha died? Yeah, Jinx probably has anorexia.
The shimmer was put into her BLOOD
It should also be pointed out that Shimmer is more of a Healing Agent than a Drug, it was intended by Singed to be a prototype for his immortality project, but of course he needed benefactors to help support it like Silico, so Silico used it as a drug and Singed probably took advantage of the free test subjects he could experiment on and see the results.
Hence when Viktor shows up he is given a “variant,” its pure Shimmer. Not the drug, it didn’t corrupt him.
To be honest Jinx is probably the case scenario Singed had in mind making Shimmer, saving a girl he loved from dying, hence why physically her appearance didn’t chance much but she gained extremely fast reflexes.
“The mutation must live”
Doc gave her shimmer to bring her back to life
These exact same symptoms are also the same as damn near every trauma-related mental illness due to stress and lack of sleep. The reason Powder doesn't look like that is because she's not a traumatized mess like the mainline Jinx
No, some of these details are there in her during ep4-6 showing it’s not just the shimmer doing this but just the way her life turned out
I know that Jinx doesn't need shimmer since her body has been mutated but I prefer the headcannon that her powers are activated by using shimmer, because it deepens the convo around addiction and it's affects.
I hope Jinx can stand the withdrawals once she's out of Zaun.
Actually she got dosed with the shimmer variant it has no negative side effects other then the immediate shown case however beyond that it isn't known but is permanent as far as we know !
tell me you didn't actually watch arcane without telling me that you didn't actually watch arcane
Jinx only had shimmer used on her once when the doctor was fixing her, she doesnt continue to use it after
Shimmer is part of her blood stream. She’s infused with it.
I’ll stick to my head canon of: poor diet, sleep, and overall care to her body.
This jinx is messed up in her mind everytime i heard her screaming mostly when she was saved by the doctor my heart sank. I can relate to her but hell is empty, the devils are here - W. Shakespeare
I think she is also just tired instead, loss of sleep does a lot to you too. I dont believe she ever had a really good and long sleep
Bear in mind what you described is more likely to be malnutrition and being in Zaun more than AU Powder. Not necessarily the shimmer.
Her eyes also have those almost crack like things around it
She looked like that the whole time 😂
bro DID NOT watch the show
It's more of an adrenaline rush and doesn't really harm you unlike applying it to people not needing to literally survive with it producing and pumping through their body.
So are the symptoms of iron deficiency anemia (I have that), dehydration and malnutrition.
She's just a person that lives in a hostile environment.
We can also think that she probably doesn't eat as much, even if she have food, because of her focus on her gadgets and obvious depression and psycosis.
She just "uses" shimmer one time to be revived and now the shimmer is in her blood, but she had those traits even before that.
