TL;DR: Related to a Jinx as a friend called her "too sensitive" which made me feel extremely bad. Fine now!

As title says, I really love Jinx in Arcane, which I feel like is a common thread with me and some other very mentally ill friends. I didn't realize how much I liked her until I started to watch the show again. (I've previously seen part one but not parts two and three (which they watched without me which is its own entire subject matter.))   


Watching the scene in episode three where Powder is left out of the plans to rescue Vander and she has a complete breakdown in her room was so relatable that I was laughing during the scene and audibly (it must've been a bit quiet in hindsight) I said I felt that way too much.

&amp;#x200B;

After the scene ended, one of my friends commented, "Powder seems a bit sensitive doesn't she" and I got very suddenly very hurt. It's that specific brand of "holy shit I did not expect that to hurt so much" types of dejected pain. She obviously couldn't have known, and I tried to say that she is in a really complicated position in a complicated life with deep trauma, but I just didn't bother because I was trying not to detach from the situation and had to try every trick in the book to ground myself to reality.

Regardless of this ruining most of my night, things are a bit better now, and I managed to be cool during the rest of hanging out, it just put me on edge and I felt like I was scrutinizing my every thought and word before letting it out in front of them after.
