I had an idea for an au of Arcane and I don't have anyone to share it with, so I'll post it here

Basically this au consists of Jayce and Ximena being from Noxus. And I will explain how

(Contains some spoilers for s1 and s2 of Arcane)

Jayce and his mother are emigrants (basically for me, but the show itself shows him and his mother traveling to another place); since they were in a blizzard and such.

They probably left Freljord and/or some village there, probably for better living conditions, since there probably isn't much in a place that is covered in snow.

Where I want to go, Freljord has Demacia and Noxus as nearby places. And I believe that the two (Jayce and Ximena) didn't have much choice of place, because Freljord is VERY far from Piltover and Zaun and they probably wouldn't leave with the objective of going there knowing that they could die from the cold in less time.

They only got out of there alive because the wizard teleported them to Piltover and Zaun or a place nearby. So they went to Piltover.

But if the wizard didn't show up, let's assume that Ximena didn't faint, so she and Jayce left Freljord. And depending on the location, they would cross paths with Demacia or Noxus.

(There's also the option of Ximena fainting, the wizard Viktor not showing up, and baby Jayce would have to go on alone, but I feel like he would die.)

And I want to think that they would cross paths with Noxus and most likely stay there. (That's because I like Noxus more than Demacia.)

Why is that? As much as Demacia is a beautiful nation and all, it's a nation in crisis and those who live beyond its borders are viewed with suspicion. (It's in the official website biography.)

Unlike Noxus, it's seen as brutal by outsiders, but in truth Noxus is a very inclusive nation. They respect and encourage talented individuals, and they value strength above all else. Anyone can grow up there, regardless of social class, if they want to.

Although noble families still have great power, if Jayce and Ximena went there, they could grow up very well.

Although to gain respect, stay strong and have a position, you have to be constantly challenged.

What got me thinking about Jayce being from there was that there are forges there, making weapons and armor.

Basically, I thought, Jayce could very well grow up working in the forge, making weapons and fighting.

Not only that, there are also engineers, warriors and rangers there and Jayce could very well be one of them.

There is also the possibility that the wizard did appear and took them to Noxus and still gave the stone to Jayce.

(You know, try in this universe somewhere else instead of Piltover)

But then he wouldn't meet Viktor, Heimerdinger or even Mel

(he could meet Mel, very unlikely but he could still meet her in Noxus.)

What would be better, besides strength, the Noxians greatly respect those who have magic and recruit them to serve the empire (if he could)

If Jayce still discovered hextech there, it would be good for him, since strength manifests itself in many ways and individuals with magic are respected, it would be a combo.

But if he invented hextech in Noxus, much of Piltover's progress would not exist and would go to Noxus.

Which would make Noxus more powerful, but since Piltover has many geniuses, the academy and such, Jayce could go there in search of improving hextech and creating magic.

Which would be likely, because he would have the same problem of not being able to create (before Viktor's help) and all attempts would fail, which would be the reason for him to go to Piltover and enter the academy.

I think it could be a time before the apartment exploded.

But, it would also work if it wasn't, because if Vi, Powder, Claggor and Miloy still invaded any apartment, they wouldn't cause the explosion and wouldn't even be caught or seen (it would basically be almost the same thing as the perfect alternative universe of arcane.)

This is the idea I had, I really want to write but at the same time I don't know how.

I really want to hear other people's opinions.

my three main plushies have two names each and together i call them the Sugar Syrups bc one of their names have to do with a type of sugar and the other has to do with a type of syrup

Brian McClellan's Powder Mage two-part trilogies (hexilogy?) are seriously great fantasy and hardly any one I know has even heard of them.

I'll pitch it to my friends, "Yeah take the French Revolution, add in sorcerers, blood witches, and soldiers that snort cocaine gunpowder for fighting powers and you have the beginnings of the series" and they're like fuck yeah sounds awesome

The only think I can think of for why they're not more popular is their size. Each of the six books is huge, about a 20 hour audiobook or 1000 or so pages. To which I say, "THE NOVELLAS RULE TOO"

Reality vs Fiction: The Real History Behind 10 Fantasy Epics

Today, we’ll traverse the thrilling and often mystical realms of fantasy literature. And no, we’re not just doing this to escape the humdrum of our daily lives (although that clearly is a bonus). We’re here to explore how these fantastical worlds brimming with dragons, elves, and magical spells can help us better understand our own, more mundane, histories. ‘The Lord of the Rings’ by J.R.R.…

I just finished rereading Promise of Blood, the first book in the first Powdermage trilogy by Brian McClellan, and I kept thinking about its similarities to the Wheel of Time Universe. It’s been quite a while since I’ve read the rest of the books, but at least from the lore explored in the first book, the world of powdermage just feels like it’s a different age, a different turning of the wheel. Maybe an age that isn’t focused on the dragon vs the dark one.

Given the author’s relationship to Sanderson, it’s not surprising that his work feels similar in vibes to both him and Jordan. I just always find it interesting to imagine other pieces of media as different turnings of the wheel.
