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 while playing politics. 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 among other talents.

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

Thoughts on Magic.

Magic is about feelings. The fantasy (which is in an of itself a feeling) that our feelings can change The Rules. We are all sadly bound to this earth and victims of physics as a whole. Magic lets us ask “What if we weren’t tho?”

Magic systems change depending on how writers express these feelings and how what they feel they might impact the world. A persons magic system in a book often tells one about the author, the cost of writing a magic system is the cost of being Known.

Is the magic a narrative means to an end? Is it perhaps something that is rigid and must fit The Rules? Or is it a soft magic system that has a small sticky note behind it saying “I do what I want?”

Magic is about what we feel we need and how we may in the vaunted halls of sorcerous fantasy, accomplish what we need at any given time. Runes, chants, ley lines. Those are all common tropes but not necessarily the whole. We are social animals as human beings, our psyche is impacted by what came before. Is the written word a magic in itself for conveying these ideas? Is the written word therefore a system dedicated to describing systems?

If that is true we have a magic system here on earth. It causes hallucinations of grandeur or gritty grim dark visions. It gives us windows into the perceptions on how a writer solves problems, and how the consequences of those problems may manifest. The consequence of magic is to be known for how we would plunge into these unknowns as individuals.

The consequence of escapism is other people learn how to run away with you.

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.
