Do you see my vision

[chomp-bomb]

People in fandoms really need to let go of canon pairings being endgame.

First off, a disclaimer: I am not saying you can’t like canon pairings. Obviously. I love a lot of canon ships in tons of different fandoms. This is not me saying you can’t ship them or me attacking them so please take more than two seconds to understand what I’m saying before jumping me.

With that out of the way (rant below the cut):

It is actually so frustrating how people cling to canon pairings like they’re the only valid ships to ever exist.

I’m bringing this up specifically because of the new Noxus trailer that came out yesterday. I’ve already seen the absolute warzone that it’s becoming on TikTok with people shouting about how “Katarina has a boyfriend!!! She’s straight!!!” in response to literally any mention of liking the character or shipping her with someone else.

So to the people who think that a character having a Canon partner means that every other ship is wrong: hate to be the one to break this to you, but it’s not actually a reason to invalidate other ships.

I’m gonna bring up the Timebomb vs Lightcannon debate.

Timebomb shippers have been incredibly aggressive towards any Lightcannon shippers, and are so quick to say Lightcannon wouldn’t work because it’s not canon. I’d like to remind you all that canon doesn’t mean people can’t ship Lightcannon. Timebomb being canon doesn’t make it immediately better or higher than Lightcannon. The air of superiority that so many canon shippers have over fanon shippers is completely unwarranted. Your ship is not immediately better because they are canon.

And here’s the thing: I don’t even like Lightcannon myself! I’m very much a Timebomb shipper. But just because I prefer one pairing over the other doesn’t mean that Lightcannon is a bad ship. I can recognize that, despite my own dislike for it, people are entitled to their own interpretations of the characters and their relationships to one another.

I get how easy it is to fall into the mindset of “My pairing is canon, so therefore it is the only correct one and everyone else’s is wrong.” But at the end of the day, it’s not a reason why your ship is better. It doesn’t immediately make you more correct. It doesn’t make every other ship bad. There are tons of canon ships that are downright awful, badly written, or rushed. To be canon is to simply be the creator’s preferred pairing when creating their story. It’s nothing more than that.

People have been obsessing over non canon ships since fandom’s creation. Hell, fandom as a concept itself started because of Kirk x Spock shippers way back when.. I’d say that makes fanon pairings pretty important, don’t you think?

Anyways this once again is very common sense, but I’ll repeat that I’m not trying to attack or insult anyone regardless of where you stand on this argument.

Im looking at my lightcannon pics on Pinterest enjoying myself and i am absolutely grated by the sheer volume of "who is that blonde girl where did she come from" comments FUCKING GUESS. YOU WATCHED THE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS SHOW NOW YOU'RE IN THE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS FANDOM. WHERE DO YOU THINK SHE FUCKING CAME FROM.

Beyond the End, You and I Begin P5: Sunbeam & Scrunglebean

Luxanna Crownguard has a lot on her mind. Her journey home with Jinx, her mysterious, charismatic new friend, has taken a turn for the unexpected and inexplicable; a miracle has brought Jinx's lost little girl back into her life. With the last leg of their trek to Terbisia still ahead of them, and their duo now a trio, Luxanna wrestles with feelings she’d only just begun to explore, and the complications – and mysteries – their additional companion brings into both of their lives. Isha is alive…but how? And what does that mean for the tentative relationship between Jinx and Lux? Only the road home will tell.

Beyond the End, You and I Begin continues in Sunbeam & Scrunglebean! https://archiveofourown.org/works/62081692/chapters/158779639

Ao3 links seem to be broken right now BLAH.

[boorrger]

she has Lux in the sack 🤪🔫 she wanted some company and the next best thing was kidnapping

this is what happened after the finale. currently writing down some ideas about a story :3

[hesperasmith]

Canon: Lux is several inches taller than Jinx

Headcanon: That's true, but Jinx has bigger hands

Lightcannon: They both like these facts

[flowgninthgil]

I looked it up using AO3 and ff.net as reference and the stats don't match this xD

people have been sparcely shipping them since mid 2014, considering jinx go released in october 2013.

The shipping only took off after Lux's lore got a redo in 2019, in a year a half, there had been as much lightcannon fanfics done has had been between jinx's release and lux's lore rework.

star guardian, having released in 2016, didn't get much attention until 2022, and it only account for a tenth of lightcannon fanfics, which also only picked off after Lux's main lore rework, the 2022 thing did also do something since more than half of star guardian lightcannon were made during or after that year.

I don't know what they did to Lux in her lore rework, but that girl had some serious shit happen to her, enough that people started really liking the idea of her going out with another troubled and traumatised girl, even in an alt universe.

Random question, but I've played a bit of LoL but I'm more of a teemo main. Never really read the history of lux and jinx? Is there actually a link between them? I always thought it was ezreal and lux?

So, bear with me here because I am definitely not a League of Legends girl or a video game girl in general (the autism simply does not allow it past the lore, but good thing I cling onto the lore like a life raft)

From my understanding, Lux and Jinx don't actually meet in canon when it comes to Arcane, or the general League of Legends timeline. Jinx is from Zaun and Lux is in Demacia.

But League has a bunch of different skins that you can play characters as (from what I heard, Idk, I think of them as alternate universes and timelines) and there is one called Star Guardian.

They're childhood friends here, and Jinx is beyond protective of Lux, espescially when it comes to Ezreal. I'm talking real jealousy towards any type of attention the two show another, a lot an angst.

In Star Guardian they are cosmic protectors of the universe that happen to balance the weight of high school and their feelings for one another. It's very cute, and Jinx is (of course) very reckless in this universe too.

People- in my opinion- like their dynamic here and just transfer it over to their original designs. Lightcannon has always just been there, and Lux has that high class clumsiness of season one Caitlyn while Jinx has this unhinged undercity vibe that people crave. They just work!
