I’m really glad you asked this because I’m a big follower of the church of Zed/Syndra but it’s not an easy ship to pilot. They’re two ambitious individuals that might clash if the settings weren’t right, and put their own ambitions over developing personal relationships.

But there are a few things that I see between them that’s given me the inspiration to support them. The first is Zed’s direction of becoming more of a mature antihero and less of the Saturday morning villain. He’s shown his paternal side in raising Kayn, and the comics plus his new lore show his devotion to those affected by the Noxian invasion and his commitment towards making Ionia a better place. I believe Zed has the capacity to love. Maybe it won’t come until much further down the line, but if he achieves most of his goals I feel like he would have room in his heart to learn to love someone deeply and truly. (of course, not every ship has to go this deep, but it is a good sign for Zed)

I don’t like Syndra’s new lore. Specifically her being imprisoned for fifty-something odd years. So I choose to keep the story of her old lore, with small details from her new one like how she had a brother and how her hair was originally black.

So, the second point. I don’t believe that Zed and Syndra have opposing goals. It’s a bit unclear as to what Syndra wants, at least in old lore. I know in the new lore she abhors Ionians for imprisoning her, but in the old lore it suggests that she despised the system that was responsible for stifling her power in fear of it spiraling out of control. So to me, that says that she still values Ionia, but she hates institutions like the Council of Elders and its conservative lean. When you consider the political background of the new lore, it makes sense that she would have views closer to people like Zed.

Although there’s no canon basis for Zed and Syndra interacting, I think Zed’s system of intelligence would inevitably bring him into knowledge of her and the rumors around her. Zed should be a person that’s carefully evaluating the power levels of the different forces in Ionia. If there is a sorceress around that is as powerful as Syndra, he should be interested in meeting with her. It’s not his job to get her to fully cooperate with him, but as people dissatisfied with the old order, and at some level wronged by it, they would have grounds to work together.

What is important here is that Syndra is not a tool for Zed to use. It’s hard to fill in the blanks regarding her personal motivations, but I feel like she also wants a place to belong. If you go by her new lore, she was never really accepted as a child. The Order of Shadows is a place that doesn’t care about your upbringing, or who you are as a person. As long as you respect the environment and pull your weight, you’ll be treated fairly. So I think Syndra would appreciate that.

@corpsetalker​  whispered : E : EMBRACE.

E  .      EMBRACE  :      DOES  YOUR  MUSE  LIKE  HUGS  ?  WHAT  ARE  THEIR  HUGS  LIKE  ?

          yes  ,  big  yes  !  ahri  is  100  %  the  affectionate  and  clingy  type  ,  who  thrives  off  of  physical  attention  .  she  is  tiny  and  needs  to  be  embraced  in  a  big  ,  warm  and  protective  hug  .  she  loves  partners  who  are  at  least  two  times  bigger  than  her  &  can  envelop  her  with  their  hugs  .

ahri’s  hugs  are  a  mix  .  if  she’s  simply  excited  to  see  you  and  really  likes  you  ,  she’ll  throw  her  arms  around  you  ,  maybe  from  behind  as  to  surprise  you  .  her  hugs  are  whole  hearted  .  if  she  is  sad  or  trying  to  soothe  you  ,  her  hug  can  be  gentle  and  tender  ;  delicately  wrapping  her  arms  around  your  chest  or  neck  and  burrowing  her  face  into  you  .  these  usually  last  quite  a  while  .

:o like the obsidian chroma for the elderwood skin

             𝐓𝐇𝐄  𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘  𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄  𝐎𝐅  𝐇𝐄𝐑  was  enough  to  make  the  hair  on  the  back  of  ahri’s  neck  stand  .      she  moved—————nay  ,      slithered—————through  the  shadows  .      like  a  snake  .      yet  ,      despite  the  darkness  masking  her  ,       the  nymph  could  not  place  her  alignment  .      the  only  thing  she  could  note  for  certain  was  the  pungent  scent  of  fresh  and  old  blood  alike  ;      what  had  ahri  stumbled  upon  ?

what a precious angel baby. pure. protect this man.

“...I think it would be disrespectful of me to answer this question, Liliana.” This is not the sort of thing he can joke about with her, not when he heard Gideon’s whispers whenever she was around. He had seen her in a vulnerable moment and had given her a warm greeting in the past, even if it was not one she thought she deserved.

It was obvious he couldn’t answer. Not because he was averse to sex or because Lili was less or more attractive, but because of what their relationship was. Because she was a necromancer that was growing to value human life, because she was what should have been an enemy but he still believed in her.

Because in the end, she did what was right. Because her heart shined true, or so he had said.

Because he professed to see the good in her and this felt cheap, it felt like it would make his words cheap. Or perhaps he’s just afraid that his answer will make her feel that his words are cheap. Either way, Lili is someone he exercises a few extra doses of caution, patience, and consideration with. He can count how many such people he gives this courtesy on one hand, he thinks.

But how many people have this courtesy is not relevant to the situation, it isn’t relevant to the look that he’s getting, it isn’t relevant to the way seconds feel like they’ve stretched into minutes. “It takes time for people to grow on me,” he admits eventually. He can guess this ambitious woman does not easily connect with others, much less relent in any way. She is after all, ambitious. Balancing her needs and the empty space...

He sighs. No, no, that wouldn’t do at all.

He shouldn’t presume and he didn’t have the right to. She was just teasing him, but he was taking this too seriously. Garen chews against the inside of his cheek, frowning, and lets out another heavy sigh.

“I can’t answer.  You deserve that I not answer.” It’s truthfully a far more positive response than he expected he would give. Her magic was in so many ways vile, but she wasn’t. He doesn’t mean that she’s beneath answering the question.

rumors and stories travel swiftly with little to no effort when they involve noble grounds. house vayne is no exception to this unwritten rule, but it is also the duty of a high marshal to possess knowledge over the well-being of demacia’s upper class.

it is not some sort of coldness inside her heart that has her stance neutral towards tragedies and happy news alike, but the narrow focus she has, always directed at the great nation and how to ensure its safety.

❝ the dead are the ones who deserve an apology, not me. ❞

she only offers a curt nod in return, the sentiment of disappointment evident upon her frowning features. to her eyes, no one is excused and especially, herself for choosing to be at the side of a family member instead of the king himself when the tragic moment took place.

 ❝ bear this in mind, that nothing should be above demacia, not even our personal problems. i understand the burden of being the head of a household as i am in such shoes as well. it is much more tough to be the leading figure in a place where most women tend to be only mere followers or seen as such. still, it is our duty to protect it. ❞
