I just think it's interesting that you hate AU Powder because she's a "neurotypical version of Jinx" when she's not necessarily neurotypical, she just has a much better support system to help her deal with her trauma and therefore she seemed more "neurotypical". Mental illness can be present even if someone isn't showing symptoms all the time and has a good support system to process their trauma. I don't think it's true at all that Powder is necessarily "neurotypical" just because her response to trauma isn't in your face like it is with Jinx. They just ended up very different as a result of growing up in different environments around different people.
There is 0 indication that Powder suffers the same things as Jinx. This is because the writers themselves donāt even understand Jinxās mental illness and view it as a fantasy madness from guilt. Saying Powder is still ND but handles it better because she has a better support system is nothing but a headcannon. There is 0 evidence of it, not in the show or in her voice lines in league, and they had plenty of opportunity to show it when she had conflict with Ekko. And donāt use the weak excuse of āleave before I do something I regretā being evidence of it lol, that is a normal thing for an arguing couple to say.
