Pretty sure she'd dress closer to this than getting too fancy or Enforcer-ish.See below for inspiration on future looks. She would fit nicely.

I don't think it's been suggested thatthe Kiramman's wealth would make them better adoptive parents, and I personally have simply pushed that Caitlyn's father, who seems to be something of a stay at home dad, would be a more attentive parent than increasingly busy and occasionally to caught up in their work Jayce and Viktor.
While we aren't likely to fix Jinx's issues we can shape them, and the kiramman's offer a more balanced shaping of them than Victor and Jayce would, as I worry Jinx would end up obsessed with Hextech and possibly neglecting herself in small ways do to considering Hextech more important.
I don't deserve this accusation. I fully believed in my conclusion. I specifically said Heavily involved. If we had met the character I might have made a different conclusion but we didn't so I went with the way the vote was worded and her absence from many major events, including Jayce's exile trial. Since the qm has clarified the situation I'll admit I made a bad call here.
There is a difference between embracing the madness and losing yourself in it. Jinx embraces madness in season two during certain scenes. Powder loses herself momentarily to madness in the scene where Vi leaves her behind and she has a breakdown. Losing herself to madness when it comes to hextech is dangerous. It's the kind of thing that sees Viktor shout about proving to everyone that they were right, and Jayce crank the dial, setting off the explosion. It's not a good or fun kind of madness.
The qm has specified that we get more opportunities to change Caitlyn's mind living with the Kiramman family.
It's not likely to be a single conversation ordeal, particularly if she feels she has some sort of obligation to the deceased Greyson.
That's fair. I like Jayce and viktor as our work bros and hope to enjoy many more afternoons
In the manner above, except this time it will be Jinx telling Jayce about the latest girl Caitlyn snuck in. I'd rather not complicate it with family stuff.
The choices have always been narrative. It hasn't stopped them from ultimately shifting the mechanics or the mechanics from distinctly impacting the narrative.
As the QM notes here. It's not a minimal impact situation in either direction.
There may not be any best adoption option in the collapse of Jinx's old life but they are very different situations with individual merits worthy of examination and discussion. You may feel the Talis's and Viktor are preferable, and I'm happy to discuss your reasons, but it's not a clear cut case either way.

I mean, she hasn't exactly helped curb Jayce's Hextech obsession.
It's higher than any of powders issues were before the end of the fourth ark. A parent can be blind to certain failings in there child. Jayce's good points didn't come from nowhere but neither did his issues. It's a point worth considering at least.
Actually this begs the question, does Ximena(Jayce's mom) have issues? 🤔

the amount of issues this two blue headed step sisters will cause for Vi...
also, Vanders body... they will bury him, right ? there's no way Singed will get his hands on the body.... right ?

Why not
As much as I think either option would be pretty interesting, these arguments in particular have me leaning towards the hextech duo. Is it the smart play? Possibly not. But it does feel more emotionally realistic from a traumatized kid who's trying to cling to anything familiar, and she's been hanging out with these two for several weeks now, whereas she only spent one night with the Kirammans so far. And even if it does wind up being a Bad Decision, an argument could be made that making Good Decisions is against the spirit of the source material anyway, lmao
Besides...
Yeah, I've been pushing for Jinx being a big part of Hextech, and I'm still gonna keep pushing for that. I don't think either option necessarily locks us out of certain things I also want to see, based on what @Chengar Qordath said, but the route I'm most interested in overall is the one found with the science buddies. Soooooo...

I really do hope that after some spinoffs in other regions, we return to Piltover/Zaun after like, five to ten years have passed in-universe. A sequel series could be a good way to both catch up with the surviving cast, (Cait and Vi and Ekko mainly, plus Jinx if this coincides with the end of her world tour,) and do more with other characters from the region that Arcane didn't get to touch on. And even if Orianna was technically present, I'd count her in the latter category; would be great to see the fallout with dad, and see her bounce off of other characters like Seraphine, Camille, and the legacy cast.

The choice being more narrative doesn't mean there is no consideration of who could raise/help Jinx better. It is a big part of the narrative and a valid arguement.

Fair point. I concede that there all good options, I just prefer Victor as more of a Hextech partner than a parental figure. I like the dynamic of those being separate things.

Jinx is closer to them and I think they'll be a lot more accepting of... Everything. The Kirammans have lots of resources but they're a bit stiff and formal. I think Jinx needs at least a bit of connection back to Zaun with Viktor.

Jayce and Viktor will still be in Jinx's life, do to the Hextech partnership, as will Seraphine and plausibly Ekko. She won't lack for ties to Zaun either way.
She's running for her dad, you inhuman creature.
The worst type of enemy is the ones who think they're your friend and doing you a favor. Disgusting. I hope Sevika dies slowly and painfully. Maybe she'll get the same Shimmer treatment Vander had.
Genuinely no idea what i'm going to vote for. I'll probably abstain.
Imagine what happens when Viktor dies either through Hexgod or disease. Thays not going to make Jinx any better unless she faces her abandonment issue through that.
Edit: let Jinx spend her time on the shooting range. She shall become a legend with a gun.

I get what you're getting at, but honestly that particular angle of things didn't occur to me until now, but now that you've pointed it out, I'm even more interested in the hextech duo option. The drama of that sounds way too interesting to miss out on!
