As the title suggests, I want to do a Jinx cosplay but all the ones I can find online are super expensive

Also how do I hide my hair under the wig?

This is an updated post of a previous post. I’ll leave the original post inside this one for the new ones, but for the ones that’ve read the previous one, skip to the bottom.

Introduction (original post):

So, fun story here:

Half way through May I watched Arcane. I got recommended it by a friend, and since I had already heard about it, I decided to watch it. Also, I really like watching lesbian relationships on screen because I find them sweet and romantic as a straight male. It’s not wanting to date them, ”turn” them, or anything else that’s creepy.

Anyhoo, I watched it in secret from my family in around 9 days (around 2 episodes per day). I really liked it and quickly got fixated on it (especially on CaitVi, because of the aforementioned reasons).

I, along with my family, am a notorious movie/series fan. We watch at least one movie DAILY and if we start a series, we usually watch around 3 episodes A DAY.

Yeah... this might be an addiction.

Consequently, you can imagine I’ve watched enough to know what’s good VS what’s bad. And…

I LOVED ARCANE!

It was perfect! Both seasons, IMO, despite people saying season 2 was a disappointment. I noticed that it was rushed but still as good as season 1 because of the quick paced action that I liked.

Once I finished I felt like I didn’t get enough, which never really happened to me with any other series, despite me watching other good ones too (Some of my favorites being: Yellowstone, Supernatural, Desperate Housewives, Gyeongseong Creature, Friends, Succession, and 50+ good ones as well but mostly 3 seasons only and lower). After I finished I jumped on the internet to see what people created regarding the show and that‘s how I discovered AO3. For those that don’t know, it’s a site where people write fanfics about different characters from series, games, or movies. I’ve never done this before with any other series so I was curious and invested. I started reading some good Post-season 2 canon compliant fanfics about CaitVi and couldn’t stop (even now, after I post this, I’ll read one before going to sleep).

Long story short, half way through June (one month after finishing the show) I felt an urge to rewatch Arcane. However, I don’t like rewatching shows because I already know what’ll happen and it ruins the fun for me. So, to battle my urge of rewatching but also have fun watching it again, I decided to have my family watch it with me to see their reactions. They didn’t know I watched it nor did I tell them. I presented the show to them as one that I found because people where talking it was great and I wanted to watch it with them. They agreed and we began watching.

Today was the day we started and we only managed to watch the first 20 minutes of the first episode, but I’ll keep y’all updated on how it goes.

Despite us never watching an animated show before, my mom said she liked it because it has an interesting plot so far and action, while my aunt said that she doesn’t really like animation but is interested in the idea. For now, they think it just an animated show for kids because I didn’t tell them it’s TV-14 and it has some interesting scenes, such as >!season 1 episode 5 - Jayce and Mel scene, season 2 episode 3 - Cait‘s and Vi‘s first kiss, and ESPECIALLY season 2 episode 8 - jail scene.!<

I’m excited to see their reactions (especially since it keeps getting better the longer it goes) but also scared of some plot lines, such as CaitVi’s relationship as a whole, since my family isn’t homophobic but they’re not TOO fond of gay couples.

I‘m planning to keep reposting with each interesting reaction of my family to the show until we finish it. Stay tuned and I’ll tell y’all how it goes (I hope well).

Updates:

So, it’s been a few days after my original post! Here are the updates:

We’ve just finished S1E5. It’s been going slow for us since we decided to watch 1 episode a day to keep it fresh and not gobble up the series in 2–3 days.

The first act went great! My family loved it, and despite my fear of me having to force them to the show because it’s animated and feels like a cartoon, they were the ones that actually were eager to continue watching.

The first thing I feared was S1E5 (which we watched today) because of >!Jayce’s and Mel’s sex scene.!< To my surprise, my family didn’t react too bad to it. Sure... they said that cartoons nowadays are more mature and explicit, regarding the violence throughout the show, >!the brothel mentioned in the episode, and the sex scene,!< and that back in the day you’d never encounter such scenes in children’s shows (I didn’t tell them it’s for teenagers and above), but they didn’t want to turn off the show or were disgusted (mostly because the scene was very non-graphic).

The second thing I were keen at to see was their reaction to the semi-obvious introduction of the lesbian romance between Vi and Caitlyn at the brothel (the “You’re hot, cupcake” and “Man or woman” is the part I’m specifically referring to). I don’t know if they didn’t sense out the lesbian vibes or if they didn’t seem to care because there was no response in return after that; and even after the “But you’re sweet like a cupcake” part.

Anyhoo, it went better than I expected and I’m eager to see their further reaction to the upcoming scenes. I’ll keep y’all updated as I did just now.

The next update will probably be after S1E9 to wrap up their reaction to the first season and talk about their possible reaction to S1E8 where >!it becomes clear that Vi and Caitlyn are lesbians after Caitlyn says “And what about us”.!<

I hope you guys enjoy this journey of surprises as much as I do and I’ll again in probably 3 days.

I'm not sure if anyone had previously highlighted this article , but it's a very interesting read.
