Ch 1: AN 994 Post Xerath-Azir Conflict: 1 month, Jinx and Silco reconnect after years of silence Ch 2: AN 991 During Xerath-Azir Conflict: 5 months, Jinx fails (NEW) Ch 3: AN 993 During Xerath-Azir Conflict: 2 years, 3 months, Jinx and Azir

Summary of Ch 3: 

All Jinx had wanted was an hour alone. She didn't think she was asking for too much. And yet, she found herself dealing with the Falcon Emperor himself and his endless well of regret and ego.

As a note, most of the posts I've written surrounding the AU are mostly accurate, though some are... outdated or taken a different direction from the one I've settled on as of right now.

...mmmm I'm not sure if I should explain because I kind of want to write it rather than post it here lol. Here are a few points that are consistent and will remain relevant:

Jinx dislikes Azir. Immensely. And he's going to earn that dislike and Jinx is not going to have a good time for a bit. Some of you might want to skip that period of time because its messed up. It WILL be tagged, I swear.

Jinx retains a good relationship with Caitlyn. She has a somewhat antagonistic relationship with Mel and other Noxian diplomats. She's on neutral terms with Ekko and very horrible terms with Vi

Her relationship with Viktor and Silco is not the same as when I originally drafted this AU. I'll be writing a character study on Jinx's feelings surrounding Silco another time. Viktor is currently being addressed in my writing :D

Outside of her following, Jinx either has hostile or neutral relations with other Zaunites. Some respect her, others think she's soft/weak.

Her memories and the way she perceives them are kind of messed up. I mentioned the phoenix rebirth situation in another post, but the memory loss doesn't happen only in situations where she "dies".

I have... thoughts about her cloak :) If y'all could see notes xD

Can we talk about how no one is CHECKING Cait for her actions??? You can argue that Vi tried but did she? did she really? And was Cait in the right mind to accept the advice? Nah. Everywhere else that girl is being ENABLED and APPLAUDED for her actions. Also how she stands virtually alone, especially after the last fight with Vi.

Caitlyn's actions were entirely selfish. So are Jinx's. But people are reacting to those actions and creating their own understanding of why they are happening, which forces Caitlyn and Jinx to react despite the original intentions. Caitlyn is being told she must be a leader, that she must fill her mother's shoes while also literally drowning in grief. Jinx has just lost Silco, her sister, and her general purpose in life. She is passively suicidal at best. Despite ALL of that, she's going to be pushed into the revolutionary leader role in the coming episodes. Both of them are in NO right mind to be leading anything.

Was violent revolution the right answer? Hell if I know. Historically, peaceful revolt didn't seem to have ever been effective in Arcane canon, but there was also never a genuine effort on the part of Piltover to start talks and sabotage at worse. Because Zaunites are seen as a lesser class, a lesser people. Even their vote for independence was laced with that sort of belief.

Because there was no one from Zaun's ruling class at that table. Not Silco, or Ekko, or anyone that could be considered someone of significance (Viktor does not count). Zaun, despite being the subject of the topic, was not offered a seat at the table voting on their own damn independence. Instead, it was a group of individuals who had enabled the oppression of Zaunites whether consciously or unconsciously to make that decision.

It is important to recognize that the oppressed party (Zaun) has certain disadvantages which makes revolution necessary. Not just desirable - but NECESSARY.

Piltover was never going to let go peacefully, no matter what they “declared”. Their tech is literally polluting Zaun's water. Zaun's people are resources to be exploited. And that's not even talking about the literal resources. Or the Ambessa situation.

Jinx is happy - ecstatic, even - to finally not be alone in the whole 'making sure Zaun doesn't fall apart' business. Unfortunately, she didn't quite expect Vi to be so resistant to what was clearly their purpose in life.

Vi: You could’ve chosen literally anyone else to back other than Silco Jinx/Powder, literal 11-year-old at the time: Excuse you, I did the best I could Spirits and Spirit Gods watching this: Is this what they call the Sisterly Bonding™? 

Vi’s patrons (to Jinx's patrons): Your host is a coward and a snake Jinx’s patrons (to Vi's patrons): Your host is shortsighted and an idiot Zaun and Piltover: *experiencing earthquakes and high-velocity winds*
