YAY I GET TO TALK ABT ARCANE!!

a different piece of media i would love to put Jinx in is my hero academia actually :) i think her being part of the LOV or maybe even a neutral third party would be so cool. I think the way MHA tries to show how all of its villains are just victims of a corrupted system applies really well to Jinx's character, and she and Himiko could either be best friends or absolutely insane rivals. Plus, i think there's a lot of options with what her quirk could be, from speed to the visions or her weapons :)

A fashion aesthetic i would give her is scene 🙂‍↕️ anything from the alternative 2000's could fit, but scene having such bright colours while still bearing resemblance to darker aesthetics like emo or punk really fits her character i feel. Plus i'm a firm believer that Jinx would be into internet culture like that. (is this a safe space to say she would love annoying orange...) The thought of all of her weapons being painted with neon leapord prints and emojis is also SO CUTE and so her and i want to draw this now

Im ALWAYS up for another ask especially when these two are involved 🙂‍↕️

If I could put them in another piece of media, I would put Auri in the spiderverse and Kal in Avatar (blue people). I think Auri is verrryy spiderman, she would fit right in, but her powers and monochromatic colors would make her a really interesting Spidey in terms of fight styles, and her suit too. she just really fits being a spider person imo. Kal and Avatar isnt shocking coming from me, I've made Syldrathi = Na'vi parallels many times, but i also think Kal has all of the fierce fighting, graceful beauty and spirituality to just feel very Na'vi to me. I could see him being like a more gentle version of Tsu'tey, actually. Also, he would look amazing :p

Something that I love that the fandom does for Auri is that i think we've done a great job at retaining the kind of curiosity and cute quirks that she has while not making her dumb. It's really easy for a lot of characters who are confused about their surroundings, or characters who like simple pleasures such as shoes, to get dumbed down by their fandom because these traits are labelled as "childlike". But I think we've done a great job at remembering that she's still incredibly smart and sharp, but she's also a seventeen year old girl who loves shoes, and two can he true at once.

With Kal this is a lot harder because i feel like I make a lot of the posts about him (because i'll never be normal about him), but i think the fandom does a good job of not turning him into a wattpad CEO alpha and for that i am forever grateful 🥲 im always terrified of the day that someone from tiktok will say he's a dominant daddy type, and i can only watch in horror, but it hasn't happened yet and i am SO glad (pleasedontjinxitplease)

Now with what the fandom does that I don't love for them (keepinmindthisisapersonalopinion. youdonthavetoagreeimnotattackingyou), for Auri i think a lot of blame is shifted onto her for the way she handled being a trigger. I've seen more than one post saying that they hate the way her personality shifted, and while i understand feeling your investment in a character change, i think her power can be a great (accidental) metaphor for addiction and the way it changes someone. i also think the way her becoming cold and stoic being presented as a bad thing is really smart and sad, especially because she's naturally a bright person. People are allowed to not like it of course, but i think not everyone realizes that that phase of her arc is meant to be a bad thing.

Yay!! Zila time!!

A headcanon i have for her is that she does the sleeve paw things, where your jumper is oversized and you put the ends of the sleeves over your hands. I know it annoys a lot of people but it's so comfy, and she loves to be tucked away, and if she sticks her fingers out just a tiny bit there's still enough room for her to type :)

A relationship she has with another character that i admire is actually Kal. They're simultaneously very similar (cold, stoic, burying their emotions, social outcasts), and very different (Kal is a fearsome warrior who is "at the top of the food chain" whereas Zila is very small, very quiet, and all of her survival instincts can only be accomplished from a distance). But they seem to have really connected with the other even if it's brief, and even though they disagree multiple times, they seem to have found a lot of similar struggles in the other despite them both being closed off. They stick beside each other in AR, they have that sweet moment in AB where it's implied Kal is the first person to notice Zila's trauma, and idk i just think they were kinda besties in a way and it makes me sad we didn't see more of them, because i love their dynamic :(
