I've been thinking about the person I shall affectionately call Beefy!Anon and their worry about their love handles. I don't know whether BA is straight, bi or gay, but I saw this and thought of them.

Straight men are losing their shit over this and asking, "why are women lying?" They genuinely cannot believe that women know their desires and what they like. That they must be lying to hurt this man and his hard work.

I'm also reminded of pmastamonkmonk's post from 2017 about the two Hugh Jackman covers contrasting the male gaze and the female gaze. They are very different. Women find the man on the left more attractive.

Queer spaces paint themselves as body positive, but spaces occupied by gay men are still very much not unless they're more niche, such as bears and some leathermen spaces (in my experience). It's tough out there. It's a reminder that a lot of what is considered "attractive" is dictated by men due to the society we live in. There's no room for diversity of taste or the genuine desires of someone who doesn't identify as a man.

As a queer man, I'd give the guy on the left the night of his life; he looks strong, healthy, and he's handsome as fuck. The guy on the right wouldn't beat me in an arm wrestle and would probably lose his boner after five minutes, if he can get it up at all.

I say this and also need to explain that I am body dysmorphic. I struggle hugely with body image and I would probably be happier if I looked like the guy on the right, or at least feel I would. I also have a realistic understanding of the hardwork and calorie deficit it takes. I may be able to be there for a week or so before slamming a burger and a craft beer like my life depended on it.

Dunno. I guess our bodies exist for us and we should be comfortable in them. I say I'm working hard for me - and I am, just so I can feel comfortable - but we also need to understand the impact of 'thinness=goodness' and 'this is what you SHOULD find attractive' on our minds.

Disabled people are not a "what if?" scenario btw. I've seen a lot of people disregard bedridden disabled people recently, I assume because they think the concept is a scapegoat. Polytheist circles are filled with disabled people who don't deserve to have their abilities or practices up for public scrutiny.

When we make blanket statements, we are often hurting the most marginalized members of a community. When we make blanket statements discouraging one thing or another, but tack on "unless you're disabled!!" the harm has already been done, and frantically, stings a little more. Disabled people - and I can not stress this enough - are forgotten about in just about every aspect of society.

I think of it like this -

My partner - a wheelchair user - and I went to an event to meet new people, make art, and connect over our shared identities of queerness. My partner contacted the organizers ahead of time and asked about accessibility. They were told the place was wheelchair accessible, we'd just have to use a different entrance. Cool, fine, great! Time for a good night!

We get to the venue and the wheelchair-accessible entrance is locked (don't even get me started on the parking situation). So I go through the inaccessible entrance and get them to let my partner in. The event room was small, cramped, and everyone was at standing tables making art. The organizer, who knew a wheelchair user was coming, was flustered, and cleared off a table in the corner for us to sit at.

So there we were, in the corner of the room, ostracized from others. And the table wasn't even wheelchair accessible. It was just lower than the standing tables. Being shoved in a corner as an afterthought is not accessibility. We ended up leaving. The organizer? Surprised we didn't stay long. Gee, I wonder why we left.

So when we're in these online spaces, we have to ask ourselves - are we truly considering disabled people. When you make a post about how you feel something should be done, are you actually considering disabled people? Or are you gonna get flustered when they show up and clear off a table to act like you're an ally?

We've created these online spaces to share our love and worship of the gods. We all know full well that disabled worshippers are present and contribute beautiful things to our community, yet so often they are left out of the conversations; the door for them is locked. Then when they enter the conversation, they're faced with the grueling reality that no one stopped to consider them despite claiming to be an inclusive space. So they get shoved off in the corner. And when they speak up, abled-bodied people are taken aback.

Have your opinions. Live and let live. But for fucks sake remember disabled people - of all abilities - exist.

[shanastoryteller]

Someone posted something about Adam Milligan, and it made me think a bit, and now I'm curious- What's your opinion on the third Winchester son?

honestly i don't really have one

i kind of think the whole thing was lame lol. i didn't really feel like he had any chemistry with sam or dean and part of that i think was his awkward age. i know we don't meet the real adam until s5, but i think it's fair to assume him in s4 is a decent aproximation of him. sam was 26, dean was 30, and adam was 19 (and he was 19 when he was brought back a year later and meets 27 yo sam nad 31 yo dean). not quite old enough to feel like a peer, considering what they'd been through, but not young enough to treat like a child. adam never really fit and he never felt like their brother

i also never really got a sense that he had any sort of personality, but i do think this was all by design. the most interesting thing about adam was how sam and dean reacted to him. if anything adam exists to demonstrate how fucking weird sam and dean are. it's all we're brothers, we're family, that's why we have to do this, we're all we have. but adam's their brother, adam's their family, and he doesn't have anyone else. yes, dean goes back for him, but honestly dean would have gone back for lots of people. also, when they find adam's body, sam's the one who wants to resurrect him and dean's the one that says no. frankly, i think part of this is dean saw adam as potential competition for sam's affections. he's sam's brother, his only brother, and frankly the concept of 'brother' has been expanded and messed up by them to mean something else entirely. and trying to fold adam into that is impossible, because they have decades of growing their tree roots into the other's foundations, but i think dean finds the idea that sam was willing to try to be distateful

first adam was a foil and then he was a plot device and never at any point did i find him interesting

that said!

back when i was watching supernatural the first time around, i thought of a fic where sam is on his way to stanford and comes across adam who's running scared from the ghoul that just killed his mother. sam helps kill it, asks about his family, finds out this his brother and calls his dad in a rage. john tells him to drop the kid off at social services. sam gets mad at him about it, john retorts that he thought sam didn't think children should be raised this way anyway. and he doesn't, john's right, but that doesn't mean abandoning family. john scoffs and is like, what, you mean like you just did? don't call me about the kid again

and sam reduces his courseload and takes adam, maybe mostly because he refuses to let his dad be right about anything. sam's 19 and adam's 12 and this shouldn't fly at all, but also it's legal guardianship to his brother who wants him and and who's record and grades and history are clean and impressive enough to get him into stanford or putting him into the system where who knows what will happen to him, so with sam he goes. and adam knows about the supernatural and it killed his mother and he wants to fight it, so sam ends up raising adam to be a hunter even though he doesn't want to, trying to strike the balance he always resented dad for not giving it him and it turns out this is all hard as shit, actually

then john goes missing and dean comes to find sam but it's not just jessica in his apartment. adam's there too and insists on going on their hunt, saying john is his father too, and dean's about to blow a gasket or have a stroke or something

[problematic-aroace]

I think I figured out why I just don’t like StephCass that much(I don’t hate it I’m just not a big fan of it)

It’s because my first association with StephCass was in the Batgirls comic and I really dislike how Steph was characterised there, and it seems to be where most people started shipping it. So to me I’m just seeing a someone who’s Steph in name only X Cass. Which annoys me already. Which is made worse by when I see a mischaracterised version of Steph in fandom dating Cass. So that’s one thing that hinders me from considering the ship.

Second thing is- I’m tryna be real nice but… this ship doesn’t really have anything interesting to me. Like no angst, no stumbling blocks they have to get through together it’s just… boring. Like I don’t won’t them to have a toxic relationship at all, but their relationship just doesn’t have anything interesting(in the way the fandom portrays it at least.) I love myself a messy relationship(JayRoy is my prime example), so when it’s just… sunshine lollipops and rainbows it’s just way too boring. I definitely wouldn’t like it if it was like StephTim… god I’m gonna make a whole post on that… but I need both of them to have struggles to work though and not just be two characters kissing in the background(literally every AO3 ship in existence.) And it’s not that hard to find something for them to work through, like bring back Stephanie’s disdain for the no kill rule, make Cassandra struggle with her social life, make Stephanie struggle with accepting love(I can make a whole post about why that would be fitting to her character), make Cassandra struggle to show her love thus making it harder for Steph to receive it or even question her love

Actually another point, I fully believe StephCass should be a messy relationship that somehow works based on their character flaws and how they would clash. So most StephCass posts make it look like a shell of the two characters and makes it way too boring for my while there’s ships like StephKara(in the batgirl comic Steph is sorta a asshole to Kara at times and it looks like she’s sorta jealous of her while Kara still shows Steph the love she needs which makes it so much more interesting to me) and then StephRose(do I need to explain?). I guess I like those a lot more than StephCass because in fics I read of them, Steph tends to be characterised a lot better.

Last and final thing is well… I’m a pre52 Steph stan(specifically before war games) and well- I just never really saw the two as a couple there- they’ve always been best friends++ to me and later on in the comics: big sister, little brother. And I can’t really forget how Cass was like ‘well go home then’ to Steph when Steph told her she was fired, I know it was because Cass wanted to protect Steph, but so did Bruce so it wasn’t too much different in my eyes because they all told Steph to go home, they all discouraged her and it all had a very, very negative effect on Steph(however out of her 3 discouragers I only believe 2 should be forgiven but I know damn well Steph would still forgive 3.)

So yeah what are you guy’s ideal version of Stephanie & Cass?

APPRECIATION POST FOR GEN 0 QUEENS👑🌸

Somi Park

Besides her insane face card, let's talk about what a great character she is.

I know people hate her because she didn't love Gun or wasn't a "loyal wife" (who even said Shingen wifed her up? Did we read the story properly?).

But that's exactly what makes her so refreshing and intriguing — her goals and ambitions. And God forbid a woman actually has those!

I agree, even I didn't like the way she treated Gun sometimes, but that's where the story breaks away from the usual conventions. She's not your typical mother; there's so much more to her than meets the eye.

Sure, a lot of her interactions with Gun were to further her own agenda, but in the end, when she sacrificed herself for her son, that was absolutely heartbreaking. I'm quite sure she never loved Shingen — it’s obvious. But maybe, if he had looked her way even once, a lot of the tragedy could have been avoided. Maybe they could have even become a true couple — who knows?

Somi is the bare minimum of what a well-written female character should be, and I genuinely appreciate that.I mean, I don't expect much from PTJ anyway, so honestly, thanks for this.

Minseon Kang

We haven't explored her character much yet, and I really hope that when the Gen 0 arc or Gapryong’s past is revealed, we get to know more about her.

That being said, I truly love this unbothered, nonchalant queen. She seems so classy and graceful — there’s an aura about her that speaks of something deeper, something I can’t quite put into words.

For me, she represents strength.

Strength to deal with a scumbag of a husband.

Strength to watch your own child turn into a gangster.

Strength to face the consequences brought on by that pathetic excuse of a husband.

And strength in never bending in the face of adversity.

I can't help but feel sad imagining how she must have felt when Gapshitryong used to wh*re around, hiding behind his ridiculous excuses.

I genuinely pray that she gets to experience some peace and happiness, and that she's living a better life now — she deserves that much, at least.

Reporter Kim

All the nasty people leave 🖕��

Okay, now let's talk about her.I know it sounds clichéd, but this woman has so much potential for development. Right off the bat, she grew on me — a reporter in hiding? That’s such an interesting and plausible setup.

She has connections to Gen 0, and I bet she witnessed the chaos firsthand back then.I also feel like she knows exactly what happened when Gap died and everything that led up to it.

Considering all of that, it makes sense why her life would be at risk, and why she would go into hiding , but for how long?

Pls, I need her to make a comeback!

And honestly, I want her to team up with a detective — someone like Jace would be perfect. Imagine the two of them uncovering the truth about what actually happened that day!

A mentor-student dynamic between them would be so cool.😼

And about Tom... please keep your dirty eyes away from this queen. I know it's likely she'll end up reciprocating his feelings because he "tried so hard" and was "so persistent" — but ugh, I hate that trope. She deserves someone way better.

End of my yapping I don't know what I spewed 🥴 given that PTJ doesn't give a damn about them but I'm delulu✨️🌸

[haru-dipthong]

I think a lot of people who get mad or defensive or argumentative when a trans woman tells them not to call her “dude” have a good reason for it. Their thought process is as follows:

- They do, in fact, call women “dude”.

- They want to treat trans women like any other woman. They believe, or at least want to believe, that there’s no difference between trans women and cis women — they’re both just women.

But when trans women say “don’t call me dude”, this forms a crack in the second premise. It makes them think, subconsciously, “wait — a whole class of people I have to gender differently from both men AND women? They must not be regular women then… some kind of other thing. If they’re something else, then they’re not women…” And I think within their personal value system and philosophy, “trans women are women” is a value they (rightly) want to hold onto more than “dude is a word I can use for all people regardless of gender”, and since to them the two are linked, there’s a resistance to changing their mind on the latter. So they argue. Even with the trans woman herself. Because to them, the trans woman is discrediting her claim to being a woman by fighting this battle.

Now, of course, there are ALSO a lot of people (many more, probably) with heads up their own arse who fight this fight because they don’t give a shit about trans women. But to say that ALL of it comes from a place of transmisogyny is just not true.

I know people like this exist because, in the time I spent fascinated by transness while still heavily repressed, I was one of them. This is definitely why I felt wrong changing my behaviour specifically for trans women (even though, to be clear, I am now transfem myself). In fact, it still makes me a little uncomfortable, and I personally don’t feel any need to insist not to be called “dude” — I would love to be treated by everyone exactly as they would treat a cis woman, even if it includes being called “dude”.

However, I also totally get it. Even when I was at the peak of thinking about this stuff while I was repressed, I avoided using masculine terms like “dude” for trans women I met at parties etc. because it’s just better and easier for everyone, socially. But I think, and this may be obvious to some people, that the truth is that it is an issue of trauma rather than one of gender. Like, if I knew a friend had trauma related to confined spaces, I wouldn’t bring up cave diving in conversation. I think this is the real crux of the issue — the insistence upon not being called “dude”, “man”, etc is not because trans women as a group are fundamentally different from cis women, it’s because most trans women, individually, have the trauma of being called a man. And if you’re interacting with an individual, you should consider their individual sensitivities and desires in that interaction.

So I suppose this post has been an attempt to explain the issue to these people who think about it the same way I did and to encourage them to change, and also an attempt to help trans women (who might be struggling with someone in their life doing this) understand that it’s not all coming from a place of transmisogyny.

Boyfriend.

Ship: Oscar Piastri/Lando Norris

Word Count: 1311

Summary:

As soon as Oscar gets into his hotel room he collapses onto the bed, sighing heavily. Getting P9 at his Home Race is obviously not the most ideal situation, and no matter how many times he gets told that his recovery after he slid was fantastic Oscar just can’t find it in him to believe the words. He can’t help but think that he should have done so much better, that maybe if he did something different he would have at least gotten on the podium.

-------

Or, Lando comforts Oscar after the Australian Grand Prix.

Notes: girl what is it with me and only posting once in a blue moon? like I want to say that I forget that I have this account but I use this site most days so I have no excuse other than being busy with school and also having the worst writer's block ever. I wrote this mostly in my equity and social justice class and partially in the green room at the venue for the show that I literally just closed like two and a half hours ago as of posting on ao3 (April 25th 2025 at 11:40pm-ish) anyways been really into f1 recently so you know I had to whip up a little fanfiction (I say little as if this isn't my longest fic yet)

also posted on AO3 

As soon as Oscar gets into his hotel room he collapses onto the bed, sighing heavily. Getting P9 at his Home Race is obviously not the most ideal situation, and no matter how many times he gets told that his recovery after he slid was fantastic Oscar just can’t find it in him to believe the words. He can’t help but think that he should have done so much better, that maybe if he did something different he would have at least gotten on the podium. He pats around beside him, looking for the side table so that he can place his phone on it in an attempt to resist looking at Twitter.

Once he puts his phone to the side, all he wants to do is retreat under the blankets and never make an appearance again, but he realizes that he’s laying on top of the blankets and he groans. He doesn't want to move from his position but he also wants to be under the blankets. It’s such a hard decision to make and Oscar really doesn’t want to make it right now. He sighs in disdain for the whole situation and closes his eyes, just wanting to sleep his pains away.

Right as Oscar is about to fall asleep, he hears a knock on the door. He groans and stands up, walking over to the door of the hotel room. He opens the door and he’s about to tell off whoever is bothering his pity nap, but he freezes as soon as he sees who’s on the other side of the door.

“Lando?” Oscar asks, sounding slightly groggy. He feels extremely confused at the presence of the other McLaren driver at his door, “Shouldn’t you be out celebrating your win?”

Lando gives Oscar a look that isn’t full of pity, which surprises Oscar seeing as he got a lot of pity looks today. In fact, if Oscar didn't know better, he would almost say that Lando is looking at him with love. Lando then reaches out, putting a hand on Oscar’s arm, and his voice is soft as he speaks, “How are you feeling, Osc? I know today was rough for you.”

Oscar laughs bitterly, and resists the urge to shut the door in Lando’s face. The only reason that he keeps the door open is because he knows that Lando means well, despite the poor timing when it comes to coinciding with his less than ideal mental state in the current moment.

Oscar sighs and looks at Lando with thinly veiled annoyance, “How do you think I’m feeling, Lando?” He says, letting his emotions spill out of him slightly, before he once again schools his expression back to neutral.

Lando sighs softly, and he looks awkward, as if he just realized that he maybe shouldn't have asked the question like he did. “Can I…” Lando trails off, as if carefully considering his words, “Can I come in?”

Oscar looks at the man in front of him in confusion. “As I said earlier, should you not be out celebrating instead of being here to comfort me?”

Lando tilts his head and smiles, almost as if he’s working to suppress a laugh. He looks at Oscar with a look that’s almost fond in nature, and he lets out a soft chuckle. “Oh, Osc. While I could be out celebrating my win right now, I find that I’d rather spend my night in your company.”

Oscar raises his eyebrows at Lando’s words, almost feeling surprised that Lando would want to spend time with him, especially in the state that he’s in.

Lando, sensing the Aussie’s surprise, smiles at him. “Don’t be so surprised, Oscar!” Lando says happily, his British accent stretching the second syllable of his name. Oscar always loved the way that his name sounded coming out of Lando’s mouth, always sounding more British than it usually is intended to.

Oscar suddenly realizes that he’s been silent for a lot longer than what may be deemed socially acceptable, so he clears his throat and steps out of the way of the door, as if to invite Lando in. as he does so, Lando smiles brightly and practically skips into the room.

Oscar shuts the door behind him and turns to Lando, looking at him expectantly. “So,” He starts, “What do you want to do?”

As if pulled by some unseen force, Lando starts to walk closer to Oscar before pulling him into a hug. Oscar stiffens at the contact before relaxing into the warm embrace of his teammate, and he suddenly feels his eyes start to well up with unshed tears, the emotions of the day suddenly crashing onto him. He buries his face into Lando’s neck and sniffles softly, trying not to sob on the Brit.

But of course, because life hates him, Lando starts to softly stroke Oscar’s hair, which happens to be the final straw. Oscar breaks down into sobs, pressing closer to Lando for any semblance of comfort after the awful day he’s had.

Lando softly shushes him, gently guiding him so that they’re laying on the bed. Lando pulls Oscar closer as he cries, giving gentle praises. Oscar isn't really listening to Lando’s words, instead just focusing on the soothing sound of his voice.

When Oscar finally calms down, he lets out a shaky breath against Lando’s neck. He looks up at the Brit, his eyes red and cheeks wet, and he blinks before starting to speak. “I’m sorry, Lando.. Your shirt’s all wet now,” Oscar says quietly, his voice raspy from the crying that he had just been doing.

Lando smiles at the Aussie in his arms, pulling him closer. “It’s alright, Osc. It’s okay to cry about what happened,” Lando pauses, as if carefully considering his words, “Oscar, I’m so proud of you for coming back from your crash. not many drivers would be able to do that.”

Oscar sighs in annoyance and buries his head back into Lando’s shoulder, “that doesn’t change how I feel, Lando.” He says, his voice muffled by Lando’s sweater, “I still should have done better.”

Lando gently grabs Oscar’s face, turning him so that he’s looking up at Lando, “Osc, you did the best that you could. I’m proud of you.”

Before Oscar can respond, Lando leans in and kisses him softly on the lips. Oscar doesn’t respond at first out of surprise, but after a minute his brain catches up to him and he pulls away, looking at Lando in confusion.

“What was that?” Oscar asks quietly.

Lando laughs fondly, “That was a kiss. Ever heard of it?”

Oscar stares, completely unimpressed, “Ha ha. Very funny Lando. I know what a kiss is. What I meant was, why did you kiss me?”

Lando smiles and looks lovingly at the Aussie, “Can you really not tell? I’ve been not-so-secretly yearning for the better part of a year now. Literally everyone knew.”

“Except for me,” Oscar says slowly, looking slightly embarrassed, “I mean, if I knew, I probably would have kissed you on my own.”

Lando pauses, a blush coming to his cheeks, “Oh. Do you really mean it?”

Oscar smiles, answering the question by connecting his lips with Lando’s. The kiss is slow, languid, the two men taking the time to learn each other’s mouths. When they pull away, they’re both out of breath.

“Wow,” Oscar breathes, smiling up at Lando. He feels as if he’s been rendered unable to talk.

Lando laughs quietly, “Am I really that good that you’re left speechless? What an accomplishment.”

Oscar laughs and kisses Lando again, a soft peck on the lips this time, “So, what does this make us?” “I reckon I could deal with being your boyfriend,” Lando playfully whispers, a fond smile playing on his lips.

Oscar lets his smile grow even wider, “Boyfriend it is then."

Okay I am new to this side of the Joe fandom and I’m on the spectrum so don’t mind me if this is a stupid question but I have to ask: Do we actually think they’re gay/bi/pan? If so is it like a closeted relationship or repressed feelings they don’t act on

ok, i had to stew over this for like a week and figure out how to word it.

do we actually believe that joemarr is real?

*whistles through my teeth* whew boy, tough question.

ok, for me, i like to explore joemarr's relationship from a romantic lens, because whether you truly believe that joe and ja'marr want to fuck each other, you can't deny that they have a special relationship. they mean a lot to each other. they've been together for the better part of a decade. their careers will forever be defined by each other.

it's very important to be reminded of reality though, and the reality is that homosexuality in the NFL (and throughout every major American sport tbh) is practically taboo. and you can't really get around that fact when you're discussing rpf.

(that being said, there are moments (cough cough jerseygate) where i'm like '... idk man, there is kind of only one way to interpret that')

so i guess i would say: realistically not, but who's stopping you from thinking your own thoughts?

2. what is the exact situation of their relationship, assuming that they are in a relationship?

that really does depend on the person and how they interpret joemarr's behavior.

like ik @chasedeys has amazing posts where she goes in DEPTH about joemarr and their relationship and what phase they might be in (@cementcornfield has some awesome thoughts too)

if i did have to say what i think their relationship is... honestly joemarr does has some very 'dancing around each other and our own feelings' vibes to them. mostly because the whole 'we can read each other's mind' is so romantic on its face, but also a minefield for miscommunication because, bitch you cannot actually read each other's mind.

and also they're very... uhh. how do i phrase this. ok, it's different when it's ja'marr, that's obvious, just looking at the two of them. you will always see tee and joe hugging each other to celebrate (broncos game, signing day, afc championship, etc etc). meanwhile joe and ja'marr are always doing their pinky shake. and the pinky shake is very special to them, i get it, but it's just not as physically affectionate as joetee's celebrations. and i do think it says something, that joe and tee are comfortable seeking affection openly in public like that, while joe and ja'marr are not. they keep their relationship almost obsessively to themselves. i've talked a lot about their relationship and how the public (us) really don't know that much about them, but it bears mentioning again. their relationship, despite both being public figures, is private.

now, part of the beauty of rpf and specifically, the insanely small community here, is that none of that actually matters.

repressed feelings and miscommunications? always always here for it! secret relationship? can never get enough fics of that imo! pining idiots? a thousand times yes! imagine what you want! no one can stop you!

I see there's posts floating around directly and blatantly arguing against mine (same wording) by completely misunderstanding what I said. I'm fucking BACK, babey. Should've bought some hay-scented fragrance while I was at Sephora today, because I am once again your strawman!

[queerofthedagger]

i mean this in the like... nicest way possible, but there is no way to post your writing and/or art on the internet without running the very high risk of it getting scraped, whether you post it on tumblr, pillowfort, or ao3. sites being 'anti ai' does not mean your art cannot be scraped. it is simply almost impossible to prevent, much less guarantee that. I'm not saying this to be a pessimist or to stop people from being rightfully pissed about this. it sucks. massively so! but if the idea does in fact bother you that much, you should know that moving sites won't fix the issue. ao3, as far as we know, has been scraped/is getting scraped. you can set your fics so that only logged in users can access them, but it only makes scraping one step more difficult, and by no means impossible and the otw has stated this clearly.

which, again, this sucks! i don't have a great solution either!! but tumblr is relatively honest, at least, when it tells you that it cannot prevent, only discourage it. ao3 said the same thing. any site promising you otherwise is, to the best of my knowledge, lying to you.

Mmmm Jinx AU where after being taken in by Silco, thinking she's been abandoned by Vi leads to her not latching on to Silco as the most important thing in her life who she must be loyal to above all else, but full on swinging into the direct opposite direction and becoming like Sevika.

[This AU is in part inspired by the idea of Jinx becoming more idealogically like Sevika, but also from OG Jinx's personality.

OG Jinx is a character who's primary drive is her own personal enjoyment and happiness. Which comes from building weapons, causing explosions of all kinds, and pranking Piltoveans.

Jinx doesn't go out looking to kill people, she goes out to to have a good time, and if people happen to die while she's having her good time, then that doesn't really concern her.

Like there's this one quote about OG Jinx that basically boils down to: "If Jinx found a box of firecrackers that had a person sitting on top of it. She'd light the fireworks without even thinking about the person on the box because she was so focused on her excitement about fireworks, that she didn't even notice the person."

OG Jinx has prioritized her own personal enjoyment over everything else, that people potentially dying as a result of whatever she's doing is so completely irrelevant, to the point of her being effectively unable to perceive the potential collateral damage.

It's not even that OG Jinx wants to kill people, or enjoys killing people, it's just that people dying while she's doing what she loves isn't even a linked phenomenon in her brain. Because people (who die) are going to die eventually with or without her actions, so why shouldn't she enjoy herself even if people happen to die while she's doing so.

Jinx's loyalty to Zaun is prioritized in the same way in this AU. People are going to die with or without the revolution happening, so they might as well have the revolution.]

Loyal to the dream of Zaun over any individual leader.

I mean, she still comes to love Silco as a father figure, and he still comes to love her as a daughter, but also much like with Sevika, they're both fully aware that if Jinx ever comes to the conclusion he isn't the person who's the best bet for securing Zaunite independence, she'll abandon his gang and possibly go elsewhere.

Or even more so, if she comes to the conclusion that he's worse for Zaun than he is good, possibly kill him herself.

Which I feel like wouldn't stop him from loving her more than anything else.

I think he'd just consider it another aspect of her that makes her the ideal Zaunite. The ability to put The Cause even before her personal feelings and attachments, something he's still not able to do.

Basically this Jinx thinks of her loyalty to Zaun and her personal love for individuals in her life as entirely disconnected to each other, with Loyalty to Zaun being her default.

Which adds a number of complications to her relationships. Specifically her being totally unafraid to fight to the death against her loved ones without an ounce of remorse, and then thinking of it as a complete non-issue in the aftermath if they both survive.

Like she fully still considers Ekko her friend by the time Vi gets out of jail in this AU. Full on "We try to kill each other on alternating Thursdays, but that's no reason to stop being friends" feelings.

Which also results in her not feeling an ounce of shame in helping him and the Firelights out when it comes to basically anything they do that isn't in direct opposition to SIlco.

I mean, the Firelights are also working towards bettering Zaun just like she (honestly believes) is, they just have different opinions and methods of how to do so from Silco's gang. While also serving different parts of the community.

[And yes, Ekko and the rest of the Firelights have complicated feelings about Jinx in this AU. None of them know where she stands with them.

She'll help them without expectations one day, and then turn around and kill some of them in a confrontation without an ounce of hesitation the next.

Some of them hate her, some have mixed feelings. Others just think she's completely mentally unstable, and shouldn't be trusted considering she seemingly flips between being ally and enemy with no warning.

Ekko's feelings are especially complicated, as you can imagine.]

None of this is to say Jinx doesn't feel just as deeply about the people she loves, as she does in canon. It's just that trauma has convinced her that unequivocal loyalty to an individual vs an idea is a very easy way to be hurt.

Detached logical decision making as a way to avoid being harmed by making emotional mistakes. Which is what she feels is why she failed so much as Powder.

The belief, that she was so obsessed with gaining approval from individuals in her life, she never had a real personal goal to strive towards that she could measure progress and growth to. Resulting in her always feeling like a failure, even when she was doing good, or at least improving.

She's still deeply hurt by Vi choosing Caitlyn over her (as far as she could tell), the Firelights taking Vi, and her accidental killing of Silco while spiraling in the wake of her Shimmer surgery. She's also extremely frustrated by her freak out on the airship where she shoots Eve (pink haired Firelight).

Because she feels like those are instances where she gave into the impulse to emotional over reaction to specific individuals that caused all of Powder's problems.

She was so focused on Vi, and her desire for Vi's approval, that she couldn't fight the Firelights as effectively as she normally would.

She was so focused on Vi seemingly leaving her to go off with Caitlyn that she couldn't focus on fighting Ekko on the Bridge, resulting in her getting far more injured than she normally would have, and nearly not succeeding in getting the crystal back.

She was so triggered by thinking she was seeing Vi on the airship, that she completely lost it and started shooting indiscriminately and caused the job to go south and injured people on her own side.

She was so caught up in her spiral and hallucinations at the tea party, that she shot Silco based entirely on instinctual protective instinct when hearing the hammer being drawn on a gun on her vulnerable loved one, rather than anything intentional on her part. Which she'd previously had always sworn would be the case should it ever come to her killing Silco.

That if Jinx ever killed another of her loved ones, it would be because she knew with certainty it would result in the betterment of Zaun, not because she made a mistake because she was being an over emotional idiot.

I think the only major change from this Jinx's actions in the Season 1 part of the story would be how she went about stealing the Hexgem, and why she did so.

In canon she does so because she failed a job, and felt like she needed to do something big to prove to Silco that she was capable, in order to gain validation from him that she was. Even though he never tells her he doesn't think she's capable, just that she needs to take some time off because she had an episode.

He said "take a mental health day, even if you don't think you need it," and she responded, "so you think I'm a fuck up?!"

In this story. it's more that Jinx is so focused on what she could potentially do with Hextech to help the revolution and Zaun as a whole. That she was already planning to steal some research notes and crystals to get experimenting with it on her own terms, before the job gone south, and the new advancements in Hextech being whispered about for progress day.

Getting her hands on the newest form of Hextech is just her getting lucky.

This also means she doesn't steal it the same way. She doesn't do anything to kill any Enforcers, but she does cause a distraction with what seems to be a box of fire works going off prematurely on "accident".

With her swooping in to steal the notes and hexgem while everyone's busy with trying to contain the panic the fireworks accident is causing to really pay attention to what she's doing.

Which the Enforcers do react to, but everyone but Caitlyn disregards as an accident. As once it's clear that nothing other than a few decorations got ruined and people getting startled came of the fireworks incident.

They're far more concerned with the stealing of hextech that's happened, and Viktor's testimony of a young woman with long blue hair sneaking out of their lab.

With the fireworks incident being dismissed as an accident that's completely unrelated to the burglary of the Hextech lab. Beyond the burglar potentially using it as a convenient opening.

Caitlyn's not convinced, and it's already happened so close to the airship shootout incident, so she still goes down and ends up freeing Vi from Stillwater with some of Jinx's drawings as evidence, from the airship shootout.

Which does mean that her trajectory in the Season 2 part of the story would be a bit different.

She still goes into a depression after Silco's death. Mostly because she feels that she's broken her most important self imposed rule: not killing because of personal feelings about someone, but for The Cause.

She killed Silco not because she felt killing him would make things better, but because she was scared and spiraling and in that vulnerable emotional state, she defaulted to the same way of thinking that had gotten her loved ones killed the last time.

She protected Vi who she loved, and couldn't defend herself, based on gut instinct. And it resulted in the death of another loved one, and the complete destabilization of Zaun.

Now because Jinx is more focused on Zaun than on her personal relation ships, I don't know if she fires on the Council immediately after Silco's death the way she does in canon. I don't really think she would.

I could see her doing it because she's still in the peak of the Shimmer high, which is heightening all her emotions. Driving her to seek revenge on Piltover in her grief. Even though if she could think more clearly, she wouldn't do it, and would instead wait to gather an actual following and doing an organized and planned strike to be the most effective.

But I could also see SIlco's death snapping her back to reality as she sees it. That she simply takes the gem, her guns, and Silco's body and Disappears, vanishing into the night with neither Vi or Caitlyn knowing of the weapon she's built or what she's going to do next.

Which could have interesting repercussions on the story. Considering Piltover's council would to have agreed to Zaunite independence on the conditions of handing over Jinx.

Except the man they made that deal with is now dead, no one (except Sevika) knows where Jinx is to hand her over, and the Undercity is and of itself divided on handing one of their own over to Piltover (to potentially be executed, because of how dangerous Hextech can be, and a lot of the counsel fully thinking Zaunites are inherently dangerous, not to mention thanks to Caitlyn, Jinx is a known weapons builder, so what else do they think she'll do with access to Hextech other than build weapons) in order to gain independence.

I'm sure the chem barons would have no issue handing JInx over, because then they'd be free to divide up territory and completely take over with no one like Silco holding their leash, or PIltover dictating what is and isn't legal on their side of the river in the first place.

Oh the Firelights would be around to oppose them, but they'd never really were able to gain any ground beyond causing problems for Shimmer production.

But I'm not sure how more ordinary people would react.

I mean, in this AU it's pretty well known that Jinx holds the idea of Zaun above anything else, and was willing to help people who weren't affiliated with any specific group, as long as doing so wouldn't harm the independence movement of Zaun.

She's not really shy about expressing that stance, it's just up to everyone else to believe it or not.

Jinx, who would use her high position in Silco's circle to help ordinary Zaunites. Be it from one of the gangs overstepping and trying to start rackets Silco had forbidden, from unjust arrest from Enforcers, or even pointing them in the direction of the Firelights if she thought that was for the best.

Declaring that so long as the help she gave random people didn't harm or slow the march towards independence, helping her fellow Zaunite was helping Zaun, was part of the fight toward an independent Zaun.

She's the Loose Canon, shooting for Zaun and no one else. Loyal to no kingpen or Chembaron, but to The People of Zaun as a whole.

She has a bit of a following even without firing on Piltover or turning the Grey back on them. She's a bit of a living folk hero to some people, especially those she personally helped out of a bad situation, for no reason other than "I could, and doing so doesn't hurt anyone else. So why wouldn't I?"

Not to mention I definitely feel like Jinx would be way more intentionally politically educated in this AU than she is in canon.

JInx as she is in Arcane, never really gave a shit about Zaun's independence beyond what it meant to Silco (and later Isha), and she very obviously never bothered to learn anything about politics. At least nothing Silco didn't force her to learn.

But with Jinx's primary drive being Zaun, I feel like she'd definitely be way more politically minded, and while I do think she would consider turning herself over to Piltover to secure Zaun's independence (in a direct parallel of Vi's willingness to hand herself over to get the Enforcers to leave the Undercity alone to keep her family safe).

I don't think Jinx would actually go through with handing herself over.

Not with the Undercity being actively torn apart by gang disputes in the wake of Silco's death, no way of ensuring Zaun's prosperity after handing herself over, and no way of securing actual tangible betterment of conditions in Zaun even with Zaunite independence.

I mean from what we're told, Piltover's offer of independence was essentially cutting the Undercity loose.

Stopping their dumping of industrial waste into Zaun's water supply, ceasing utilizing of Zaun's air duct and water system for the climate control of Piltover's Hexgate system, release of Zaunites from Stillwater (or at least transfer to Zaunite custody)), and the Kiraman family handing over control of the vents that suppress The Grey over to someone from the Undercity weren't anywhere in that deal from what we're told.

[I don't think everyone on the counsel would have agreed to it if it was, they're all complete capitalists, no matter if some of them value sapient life more than others (Mel, Cassandra) on a conceptual level.

I believe the ones who outright hate Zaunites (which some of them clearly did) would have staunchly opposed if it meant having to alter how they actually approached how they ran their businesses, vs just cutting Zaun loose.

Hell I think those councelors would have gotten even more lax with their business regulations. I mean, Zaun wouldn't have been part of Piltover, and their citizens not their legal responsibility any more.

So why should anyone from Piltover worry about them dying? The trenchers wanted independence and if they can't survive without Piltover's support, how's that anyone's problem but the trenchers?]

It was, if you hand over Jinx, we'll legally make you not our problem any more.

Which I don't think a politically educated Jinx would go for. It would just leave Zaun to the messy power struggle that appeared because of the power vacum caused by Silco's death. None of the Undercity's actual problems would be solved, besides Enforcers no longer being able to harass them.

So the Zaun Piltover conflict would stay more political and less outright invasion than it is in canon as a result.
