My head is STUCK on blue bird!Jinx AU with the new season coming out (if anyone remembers from WAY WAY back).

Summary for people who have no idea what tf I'm talking about: Basically, Powder dies via Silco the night Vander dies. She's revived by Janna (wind spirit god who is a guardian deity of Zaun) and proceeds to spend x years getting up to international hijinks. Powder/Jinx (she goes by both) remembers nothing of her past and is spirit blessed with the ability to turn into various forms of birds.

I had a picture of her a while back but I'm probably going to be changing her outfit and hair. I'm not fond of the top I gave her anymore. Also, she has so many tattoos. So many.

I've added to the AU since I last spoke about it:

Jinx is a magical conduit - not quite a mage, or a witch, but someone who is capable of using magic without generating it herself. She gets power from the Spirit Gods and Runeterra. It is also what is keeping her alive so if she's ever drained she will die :D

Her abilities/magic is very similar to Janna's in that, naturally, she has healing, shielding, and some control of wind. To do anything else the magic would have to go through specific runes, though it costs significantly more to do so (draining her faster). Her only other natural ability is her transformation, though certain transformations drain her more (big bird, for example)

Otherwise, she still loves her pistol and ALSO has a fondness for knives and never has less than ten on her person.

Jinx has a few titles, but her main one is "Storm Priestess". She is quite literally a religious leader and is treated as such. There are rules she has to follow, and if Janna tells her to jump - she will LEAP

Her hair is much more elaborate in this AU as it's used to enhance and add to the array of runes tattooed onto her skin. It's still in two braids (typically - specific circumstances may have her wearing more), though with threads of brightly colored yarns and engraved silver/copper/iron metal running through it. I'm going to playing around with the following concepts (don't look too deeply at the colors, just the patterns/styles/accessories):

Zaun and Piltover are bordered by Noxus and Shurima, so I'm going to go ahead and assume Piltover and Zaun's first generations were largely immigrants from Noxus and Shurima (and possibly Demacia). I'm assuming Shurima had the largest population as Zaun was once part of the Shuriman empire. However, as a note, Zaun and Piltover are largely mixing pot nations due to the nature of them being port cities with vast trade systems.

In this AU, Jinx and Vi's facial features are very region typical for specific parts of Shurima. Great-grandparents were immigrants to Zaun.

Jinx has political ties to three (I'm including the Undercity here) nations: Shurima, Zaun, and Piltover. Her religious leader position grants her relatively high status/respect and a voice in all three nations; however, her connections with Silco in Zaun and Caitlyn in Piltover also give her some additional legitimacy.

Shurima is currently heavily divided and largely in ruins. However, with the rise of Azir the empire is slowly rebuilding. They were once a very prosperous and rich culture, so its implied that there will be a resurgence of that golden era. Her involvement in a certain conflict will grant her status with the empire where most followers of spirit-gods wouldn't have. There will be conflict there, but as I understand it Azir is largely seen as a benevolent dictator. I'm not 100% sure what his perspective is on spirit-gods, but I'm going to assume he isn't the ungrateful sort.

In terms of relationships...

Jinx has a very close relationship with Caitlyn. They've known each other since Jinx was about 13 and have been friends since. Caitlyn has considered adding Jinx to the family registry for both political and personal reasons. Caitlyn is a bit more familiar with Zaun in this one, as she's spent a number of years exploring Zaun pre-independence and learning the culture. Also has more political savy.

Vi is in Stillwater for at least 2 more years than in canon.

As mentioned before Viktor and her are good friends in this one but she's gonna get nervous when he starts poking at the arcane in a very unsanctioned way (and I mean her as a person, not her as a priestess - the spirit gods and spirits are quiet about his actions for now).

I'm thinking about how to integrate parts of season 2 into this AU. There will be a period of time in which Jinx will be unable to return to Zaun due to conflict in parts of Shurima, so I'm thinking that this is when the conflict between Zaun and Piltover starts to boil over. I'm thinking a situation in which Piltover and Zaun sign a formal declaration of independence but problems begin to boil over due to foreign and domestic issues. Not 100% on whether or not Caitlyn's mom dies in this one, but there is a chance of it.

I'm also not sure how much I'm going to keep to the "magic leads to destruction" angle the show is starting to go towards. Pending! Right now Jinx is very pleased with the progress of hextech and chemtech so far in the shows. Some things are subject to change as Arcane season 2 progresses :D

here comes a thought.

Harper Row's hero mantle is Bluebird and a lot of AU Jasons get the mantle Bluejay and now my brain is interested in a Red Hood!Harper Row AU.

She's so good at engineering, please let her use it for villainy.

So, the main opinions that I've been seeing about sunrise on the reaping are that it will either be narrated by Haymitch, a different tribute, or a capitol citizen, but I think that if it centers around propaganda, there's a chance it could actually be about a gamemaker.

Hear me out: by showing us a gamemaker, we would get the perspective of someone new, we would be able to see the duality between the arena and the capitol, and, since it centres around propaganda, we would see how the capitol changed the narrative of the game and showed it to the capitol

I want to make like 17 posts about eastern bluebirds right now, Im smitten. This happens every time I band them, they're just... incredible birds.

Anyways-- I like their flight noise, they sound like theyre so concerned about whatever else is going on.

1x3 NCIS SYDNEY THOUGHTS

HI GUYS I JUST WATCHED EP 3.

YOU CANNOT TELL ME THERE IS NOT TENSION BETWEEN BLUE AND MACKEY. THERE IS SUCH A LARGE SPARK THAT IT COULD START A FIRE.

I felt so passionately abt this that I made an edit 😭 . Here is is if anyone wants to see it!

I MADE IT A TAD BIT ANGSY.

Anyways on to much more happier news!

Im so glad they let blue stay and join the team.

I honestly saw that coming because there is no point to introduce a character, have us get to know her and do all of this just to send her away.

Alsoo, since there is only 8 eps in this season and we are 3 eps in. What do you guys think the finale will be about? I'm predicting it has something to do with the government, what happened at the end of ep 3 where they found out the sulilience boat thingy belonged to the US. Maybe we will find out why they were looking in Australia waters in secret and why that guy was trying to cover it up ?? You guys think we'll see him again?? Me thinks maybe.

[unopenablebox]

ok maybe what i want is to knit birdhouse in your soul mittens. that might be it
