I finally read the Lux comic, and why didn't anyway say that Lux wasn't going to save Sylas' life at his execution! That really recontextualizes everything I've vaguely heard about Lux and her story. I always assumed that Sylas was going to be executed because Demacia made him serve a sentence before carrying out the death penalty when he accidentally killed 3 people when he was like 12. Turns out Tianna Crownguard (Lux's aunt) had his execution arranged just to avoid SUSPICION that Lux was associating with him. On top of that, some other Crownguard (I think Tianna's husband) arrested Sylas when he was a kid.

I have no idea if the writer thought about the comic as a story of agency and how class affects your ability to execute that agency. You've got people like the Crownguards, a noble family of such wealth and prestige that practically no one can turn down their requests. Despite all the power they wield they don't really help anyone except themselves, and that includes Lux. Lux is so afraid of being exposed as a mage and bringing shame to her family that she doesn't do anything of substance for the shared plight of mages.

Meanwhile you've got Sylas, lowborn as can be, and who's had majority of his life at the mercy of Demacia's unjust laws actively fighting to wrest control over his life even if he has to steal other's agency. Sylas doesn't wait for Lux to save him in a way that matters, because she won't. He chooses to save himself and all the other imprisoned mages when he knows no one else will. Sylas' actions expose Lux as a mage to society, and while the walls close in on her, Lux finally chooses to take action and help her fellow mages. The story sounds far more interesting if the framing and execution of if all wasn't... very typical of Riot writers.

sitting here with my head in my hands over just how much coalecroux is exactly tfgraves except tf incidentally happens to be a warlock alligator (a minor detail that changes surprisingly little overall tbh). I stand humbled once again before my own immense and unspeakable predictability

I did a thing league people

[funnyscienceman]

so recently i found this tier list someone made categorizing the source of each champion's powerset — tech, magic, they're a god, etc — and someone in the comments i think started getting specific about *where* magic came from, and came up with three categories: spritual, elemental, and celestial

(though come to think of it idk where rune magic factors into that]

and that got me thinking — where the fuck does TF's magic come from? In lore he can legit read his cards for information, the faces on the cards change, since he was a kid he'd been able to 'cheat' in card games because he just KNEW what the cards were and couldnt even explain how that happened. He has true sight, he can teleport over long distances, he can teleport Graves as long as he has the card, like what the heck is happening here?

Then earlier i was thinking… his three signature cards kinda fit each of the earlier categories, right?

Blue card always has smth to do with mana. In LoR it refills 1 spell mana and draws one, factoring into his lvl2 condition. In League i think it discounts mana? Either way it's something that directly benefits him. This could be spiritual, right?

Red card is direct damage. Idk what it is in League but in LoR it deals 1 to all enemies and the enemy nexus. It's the most physical of the three, it's an AoE, it's literally depicted with fire, so that ought to be elemental

Gold card is a stun. Again, idk what it is in League but in LoR it deals 2 and stuns the strongest enemy. It's associated with chains, and afaik the only other champs associated with chains are Sylas and Morgana. Sylas' chains are just a prison motif, but morgana? She's half-Aspect, and i know both hers' and TF's chain things stun or root the target, so… celestial?

But that still doesn't give any solid answers. I guess he's just a jack of all trades or smth??? But like with magic?????? Idk it just really makes me scratch my head, his powerset and its implications and what that means for how powerful he is, how powerful he could get. The eye motif he's got going on certainly doesn't help, they're kinda spooky…

…anyway all that and he uses it to scam people and commit crimes

I was struck with the gift of insight once more, i think they would be soulmates if they ever interacted and now my stupid ass yearns for content for two characters that have never and will never meet
