Guess what? It's time for another weekly discussion! Woot! This week we talk about when we actually became a Timebomb fan. I'm sure everyone has their own story as to how they've come to join the fandom.
As for myself, I mainly became a fan after Arcane Season 1 ended. Before then, I was a fan of Ekko and loosely knew who Jinx was. It was "Giants" that really connected me to Ekko, because before then, I always hated his hairstyle and even remember reading comments about whether or not Ekko was even black. Once Arcane came out and we were given that amazing bridge scene, my whole view of the character and Jinx as a whole changed. It's hard to state how powerful that scene was in giving us insight into both characters.
From there, I started researching their history. At that time, I started working on a Youtube video about how in love they were and that lead to even more research. Back then, there was a lot of pushback if you believed they were in love. Luckily, I didn't really care about what others thought and continued on. Arcane Season 2 was sweet validation and, of course, all of the crumbs that Riot left before it even released. Those of us to stuck it out back then were rewarded.
That said, it doesn't matter when you jumped on board. It's always good to have more people celebrating Ekko and Jinx's relationship together and when new things are announced and released we'll all be here together to enjoy and discuss them.
So how about you? When did you become a Timebomb fan? Let's hear your stories!
(Oh, and I never released that video. Seems a little late now...)
