Azir Probably Even Worshiped Janna Back In His Mortal Days. If Anything, He Backed The Janna Cult/Church

Azir probably even worshiped Janna back in his mortal days. If anything, he backed the Janna cult/Church of the Storm and Priestess Jinx for the short and long term.

Jinx going the route of becoming an Ascended/God Warrior is pretty insane to think about in of itself. An chaotic version of Thoth/Ptah would be awesome to see.

On the large scale enemies aside from Xerath and Renekton, Noxus and the Void would be on the list.North Shurima is dominated by Noxus like Bel'zhun, Tereshni, and Urzeris.

The South meanwhile has a lot of nasty void stuff going on out of Icathia. and stuff like Sai Kahleek. Same for the Darkin from the Void War.

Piltover/Zaun may find itself between rock and hard place of the New Shuriman Empire and Noxus if you went that way.

Fucken wild idea (you can use it if you want, I'll probs never make a fic in my life, I cant write for shit)

Jinx has a mental breakdown while living with Silco at like age 14 (before Vi gets out of prison) and thinks she's going to jinx Silco and getting independence for Zaun and pulls a journey to the west (yes I have been rereading the jttw don't @ me) and goes on a pilgrimage to find enlightenment/ how tf not to be a Jinx to everyone around me, everyone thinks she's fucken dead coz this was entirely impromptu, including Ekko and Zeri (she's there). And Jinx just kinda travels the world meeting new people making enemies and friends along the way including one "special" Demacian *wink* *wink*. She ultimately makes her way to shurima (note Janna has been guiding her journey) and finds like this sunken temple that was dedicated to Janna full of forgotten ancient relics and scripture detailing Zaun and Jannas history. And Jinx is all like tf do I do? And Janna visits her in her dreams and is like, daughter of mine, rewrite our old scripture and traditions into modern zauns language and once you've done become my priestess and bring back our culture to Zaun. And jinx is like seems legit and does that for like 2 and a half years (she's like 18 after this) and makes her way back to Zaun

Meanwhile back at the twin city's, Caitlyn broke Vi out of prison to help with her investigation, Vi finds out from sevika that jinx is probs dead, and Ekko basically confirms it, shit happens Zaun gets it's independence, a year goes by and Jinx 5 years older one pilgrimage and religious awakening later has finally made it back home to Zaun and Silco, Silco of course is ecstatic to have his daughter back and wants to show off to Zaun and Piltover that the princess and heir of Zaun has finally returned, Jinx is like umm dad, Ive had like a religious awakening and such and went on a pilgrimage across the world and I brought back a bunch of scripture of Janna and the church of the storm and I'm basically a priestess now can we umm get Jannas old church back up and running? Silco of course agrees, anything for his little girl. A gala at Piltover rolls around and what's the best way to announce the return of the princess of Zaun then to upstage a piltoven event? So Jinx and slico and the other chembarons go to the gala and guess who's there, Caitlyn, Vi, Ekko and Zeri also Lux and a bunch of Jinx's friends from around the world (jinx has so many political connections it's scary)

You can kinda imagine what happens next, Vi , Ekko and Zeri freak the fuck out, Jinx/powder is alive what? Ekko and Zeri are like do we need to fight she works for Silco, but this is a gala and Jinx is clearly been invited judging by her dress. While Vi is all like at first HOLY SHIT POWDER IS ALIVE, WHAT THE FUCK IS SILCO DOING WITH HER, WHY THE FUCK IS HE WITH HER, GET TF AWAY FROM MY SISTER! Jinx is like Vi wtf ,don't make a scene and drags her off. Caitlyn is all the while awkwardly standing there not really know what to do but be kinda excited to know that vis innocent baby sister is alive, and is like new sister pog as well as the fact she seems to be very close to a Crownguard who has been basically been a bodyguard and shadowed her the entire evening which can only mean good things(Ekko never had the heart to tell Vi jinx worked for Slico, and Vi just talked about her little sis to Cait all the time and Cait has gotten attached to her even tho she's never met her)

Eh can't be bothered to keep going, it's like past 12 am for me and I need to do work tomorrow

Night clown

We Prince of Egypt AU now, love it (I know the movie is based on the bible, but I've never read it so Prince of Egypt AU it is). Jinx having a spiritual journey just like Moses did while wandering through a desert.

You could almost cut everything and just focus on Shurima adventures too, especially if you wanted to have Jinx interaction with the colourful Shurima champs (or actively try to ignore them while doing her translations only to have them constantly bug her). Jinx could still have traveled all over the place, but you could keep it to backstory or references just to keep the story focused, anything you'd want more detail in could just be side stories.

Like Jinx has holed up in an old catacomb or something and just is constantly interrupted. Nasus could stop in to teach her how to read ancient Shuriman (useful, Jinx likes), which then makes Renekton come bursting in to fight (even when Nasus isn't there and after the first couple times of Jinx actually fearing for her life she just kinda gets used to it and tells him Nasus isn't there much to Renekton's disappointment).

Sivir could show up initially thinking it was a new tomb to explore only to find Jinx, somehow they hit it off and Sivir starts bugging her to raid tombs together since Jinx is an explosives expert + her lessons with Nasus means she can read ancient Shuriman and knows a lot about old architecture.

That could then lead Azir (leaning on his interactions with Sivir from LoR) to showing up trying to use Jinx as a means of getting close with Sivir or even just learning what she's doing, because she wants nothing to do with him. He'd just call her Scribe or something like "Scribe, how was my great granddaughters day? Did she....mention me at all?" Have Azir go off on "For your usefulness to me over the years I shall consider you an honorary Shuriman when Shurima finally rises to its true splendor under my rule! Feel pride in earning such a status Scribe! Maybe even Royal Scribe may be in your future should such usefulness continue!" to which Jinx just goes "Yeah sure, cool."

Taliyah could be the one normal friend she actually likes to see because when she see's Jinx is busy she'll just come back another time while leaving a note. They can go sand surfing together and Taliyah would deliver Jinx's mail correspondence with the other people she met on her journey to keep in touch.

Not really sure about the other Shuriman champions. Would be funny if Jinx went "You know, I think you're my favourite of all the Shuriman weirdos I've met, you keep things simple y'know?" towards Rammus who just responds with "OK" While with Amumu it's "Y'know I get you, but I'm still not hugging you. Maintain our agreed upon distance."

The reason so many years pass before Jinx finally leaves is because of the constant interruptions, but through it she ascends (hehe) to a level of patients not previously thought possible. She gets so used to dealing with the constant interruptions from these Gods and other powerful beings she doesn't even blink and just accepts it.

Upon actually returning to Zaun would be kinda funny if people were more weirded out at how incredibly mellow Jinx is than the fact she's actually back.

At that Gala would be where she could interact with the others she met on her journey. Everyone could be weirded out at the Shuriman delegates just approaching Jinx going "Scribe, Emperor Azir wishes to seek your wisdom on a most important topic. He wishes to know if you have any knowledge as to what Lady Sivir's favourite food might be? Emperor Azir wishes to gift her such for his upcoming visit."

Idk, does sound like a fun idea that I might possible look into doing something for (adding it to the pile ;-;) since Shurima is a pretty neat place which also bleeds into my childhood love of Egypt (I wanted to be an Egyptologist as a kid :3).

God of War in Egypt

I kind of wish that the God of War sequel series had taken place in Egypt instead of Midgard. Aside from just loving Egyptian Mythology and it being severely underrated, I really think it could have worked thematically with God of War.

Let me explain.

So, the most famous myth in Egyptian Mythology, and arguably the most important, is the succession crisis between Horus and Set. Basically, Horus is the son of Osiris, the previous King of the Gods, whom Set, Osiris’ brother, murdered and took the throne for his own.

But, it’s not so cut and dry. See, the original King of the Gods was Ra, the creator deity, who was forced out by Isis, mother of Horus and wife of Osiris, and then forced him to name Osiris his heir. Set was Ra’s greatest general and oathsworn warrior, and by all rights should have been king after Ra stepped down. So Horus’ claim isn’t as ironclad as it appears.

So, why does this work?

Because it’s a legitimate divine WAR. A war where no one is clearly in the right or wrong, and both sides have to stand on the strength of their morals, rather than being ruled by a generic fantasy Evil King you need to rebel against.

So, picture this for the God of War sequel series:

Kratos makes his way to Egypt after the fiasco in Greece, and there he meets Nephthys, the sister of Isis and a Goddess of Night, the Dead, and Air. Nephthys is in hiding as she doesn’t want to get involved in the war between her family. She knows who Kratos is, he’s got a reputation, and hides her identity as a Goddess, tending to his wounds. They end up falling in love and having a child together, whom they name Atreus. But Nephthys gives him a different name in secret.

She names him Anubis.

When Atreus is young, the family is thrown into the Succession War when Nephthys’ identity is revealed. This obviously pisses of Kratos because he’s still in his “hates all the Gods” thing and thinks Nephthys used him. But he still loves her, and despite the tension the three of them try to keep themselves together and try to stay alive in the midst of this divine war.

They don’t really like either side of the war, and both occupy a somewhat villainous position in the beginning. Horus is an arrogant jerk and Set is a brutal warrior. Both are meant to be a parallel to Kratos as well, Set having a similar backstory and warrior mindset and Horus emodying the brutal hateful anger at everything that made Kratos destroy the Olympian pantheon.

Basically, Atreus/Anubis in these games would be Kratos’ opposite. He’s gentle and weak where Kratos is brutal and powerful. Atreus’ unique ability is to communicate with the dead, drawing power from them and laying their spirits to rest. It’s this power that makes him indispensable to the war, as he gains the ability to do the same with dead Gods as well, including Osiris.

Ultimately, it’s revealed that Apophis, the Chaos Serpent, has been manipulating both sides this whole time in an effort to throw the world into chaos. Isis finally relents her mbition, Horus unbend his pride, and Set stops fighting.

They end up putting Ra back on the Throne for the coming conflict with Apophis, and the gods recognize Atreus as Anubis, one of their pantheon. Kratos is forced to learn to trust Gods and realize that Ra is not the tyrant Zeus was. He forgives Nephthys for her deception and accepts his son as a God, and they work together against Apophis.

I dunno. I just think it could work.

To go back to this with some

Doomed!AU, but more based off of the 1951 movie When Worlds Collide. Itself based off the 1933 book by Edwin Balmer and Philip Wylie, the Earth is faced with certain destruction by a rogue star named Bellus alongside a planet name Zyra in it orbit. There is a mad rush to build a rocket like Ark by a group of scientists and others to fly to Zyra to give Mankind a chance at survival.

So picture say Carmelita is tasked with the urgent delivery of information and photographs from one group of scientists and astronomers to another to confirmed their fears of Bellus arrival, first with Zyra passing by causing massive earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis, and not long afterward Bellus wiping Earth itself. Carmelita of course goes into an state of shock and terror and breaks down in Sly arms when he shows up not long later.

In the mad rush to build the ship along with other nations and groups before it too late, maybe the Cooper Gang is tasked with stealing objects of value that are critical to the Ark being finished in time. (With the promise of Carmelita being let on the ship when it leaves.)

Following Zyra pass-by and later the Last Day on Earth, everyone rushes to leave as hordes of desperate survivors and those not chosen attempt to take the ship and escape at the last moments. Later landing safety on the New World.

I will also say the set up can work with The Bad Guys as well. (Diane Foxington becomes governor of nothing and the Bad/Good Guys become some of the last survivors.)

There is a sequel book 1934 After Worlds Collide that deals with living on Zyra, finding alien cities and meeting and facing with other survivors from other Arks.

Who’s ready for another AU!?!

Keep reading

Caitlyn as the Corporate heir sent to learn the trade makes the most sense and I love the irony it was Cassandra who got Vi as her daughter's personal security. It also adds a extra dynamic of Vi/Cait compared to Lux/Jinx as you said. (Vi thinking she has no chance with Caitlyn and Caitlyn thinking she be taking advantage of Vi.)

Lux: Hello! I'm Luxanna Crownguard. I just transferred here, so I'm still learning everyone names. May I ask who are you?

Jinx: (Was busy fixing something.) Wait...your asking me? Oh umm..Jinx, I work with IT.

Lux: Well, good day to you Jinx.

New random story idea: The Secret Life of Jinx and Lux. Based off the story, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, it has Jinx and Lux having just a normal, slow day, and so having various daydreams being and doing wild and crazy stuff to get by the day. Think of it as a excuse to do various one-shorts in one story and maybe explore the LoL skin alternate universes. (Say picture Jinx as a cool assassin and Lux as her target's girlfriend who falls for Lux.)

I've never seen The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, but I can kinda get the idea behind it based on how you describe it. Story could basically be about two bored office workers (or some similar job) thinking up ways to pass the time.

Unsure if it would be a shared daydream or just have switching PoV each chapter. Kinda like the idea of switching PoV just for the fact they could both believe they have a one-sided crush and daydreaming around the other.

Like for example, maybe Jinx works IT and Lux is the Secretary for the company. Most people don't pay Jinx (or any of the IT people for that matter) much mind, maybe they're seen as weird, yet every morning when Jinx walks in Lux always greets her which started their initial relationship. Just small talk, evolved into offered food/drink, but never really going past that.

Daydreams start from there with Jinx bored out of her mind in between tickets, thinking of the nice pretty blonde that's always so nice to her for some reason. Maybe it starts with just a fantasized conversation or date, then it grew more 'fun' from there, leaning more into fantasy based on whatever caught Jinx's attention for the day.

On Lux's end it could be she started greeting Jinx just out of habit, but then with the small moments shared she began wanting to know more, but is too shy to actually do that (maybe Jinx seems too cool or something). Her daydreams start from that thought.

Could also have a point where Jinx starts receiving almost daily tickets from Lux about some form of tech problem out front, all created on Lux's end just for the chance of chatting. Like "My monitor isn't working," only she's just 'accidentally' unplugged it. Jinx is unsure if Lux is doing it on purpose for some reason or is actually that technically challenged.

Now this set up is very, very good as always.

The Princess of Poseidon is a good choice as some do said there should have been something for her in Valhalla and Old Kratos using her as doorstop.

Hera is curious, but makes sense he killed her just because she bad mouth Pandora when she was no danger to him.

Hercules, in Valhalla says he has no regret in killing him, saying Hercules wanted to be the God of War for all the wrong reasons, and not the right one. But I can also say Kratos at that point of time was willing to let Hercules live if he would step aside.

Hephaestus I can see from his downfall from grace, his savage beating from his father, failure to save Pandora, and Kratos respect towards Hephaestus doing what any father would do, protect their child.

Ares definitely needed to be in Valhalla and Kratos fighting Mars and the battle ending in a draw is pretty the same for Mars taking up both the legacy of Ares and Kratos as a God who fights to bring peace and who loves his people and followers. (Mars the Father and Mars the Avenger.)

I would also give a shot-out to Orkos, who was Kratos' last true friend for the longest time, being forced to kill him to free both from Ares.

It also would be great to see Atreus in his Anubis persona and the Guardian of the Dead.

Long time I know. I first offer a Merry Christmas for you and my family. But the Valhalla DLC for Ragnarök just dropped (Super wonderful), and I been thinking about how the old God of War in Egypt ideas would work with it. In Egyptian Mythology you have the 42 Negative Confessions and it 42 Judges of Maat. It's not about perfection, but to keep trying to outweight your bad deeds with good ones, to bring more balance than chaos to the world.

Alright so, in the God of War in Egypt AU, we've gotta trim the 42 down a bit, so we're grouping it into six groups of seven. Each group of seven represent a level to clear, with the final one at the end.

So the story is, after the final boss of the second game, Apophis, Osiris invites Kratos to the Underworld for "a great matter", and tells him someone wants to talk to him. Basically, Kratos has to traverse the 42 Confessors/Judges of Ma'at with Nephthys, facing one of his sins as a boss at the end of each level.

The 42, again, in groups of seven, you're not facing all of them at once, act as witnesses, watching him go through it, and talking to him at the end of it.

The bosses are all from the previous God of War games, particularly the ones Kratos feels kinda bad about.

Also, you get the Blade of Olympus at the beginning of the DLC, and it gains power with every boss you defeat.

First boss is Helios, good solid start to the story.

Second is the Princess of Posiedon, who sort of uses Posiedon's powers from GoW3. This ends with Kratos apologizing to her and her soul finding rest.

Third is Hera, who points out he could have shown her mercy but chose not to.

Fourth is Hercules, this one is lighter than the others, since Herc isn't really salty about losing, and Hercules passes on on good terms.

Fifth is Hephaestus, who is angry at the world more than Kratos himself.

The Sixth boss is Ares himself. the man who started it all. This is a knock down drag out fight... and it leads you into the REAL final boss.

See, once you've defeated Ares, you're led into the Heart Weighing Chamber where Anubis has begun his tenure as Guardian of the Dead, and under your son's gaze you fight the real Final Boss of the Ma'at DLC.

The final boss is Mars, the Roman God of War, the inheritor of both Kratos and Ares' legends. A more grim and noble God of War.

The fight ends in a draw, and Mars leaves, having put the ghosts of old to rest and returns to the fledgling Rome, to tak eup his post as the God of War.

Oh yes. TF2 has a whole community made map call Selbyen that has players feeding a seal as it makes its way back into the ocean.

That and fan works I think you definitely enjoy.

Take all the time you need. Just a friendly suggestion and all.

Absolutely love all your work.

Random idea: Team Fortress 2 has seals so maybe Medic!Jaina and Sniper!Sylvanas on BLU and RED teams respectively.

These words mean a lot to me and they motivate me to draw. Thank you so much! I never thought there would be a seal in Team Fortress 2. Maybe I'll draw on it next time. (Don't expect too much, it might take a long time or it might not happen at all.)

2; Oh how fun! Best of luck on it then and I love to see how it turns out.

4: I see . Still sounds fascinating and I even played a few God games myself on AH.Com. it be fascinating to see what they're like and the world below them and around them.

Wanting to post random AUs I’m sitting on just to get peoples opinions, but then there’s the expectations I’ll work on them regularly. I don’t know if there’s a way of sidestepping that by tagging it something like “Concept Fic” just so I don’t add more to my large plate.

Think even if I did I’d still leave at least some people eager for more…

Currently got (Practically all Lightcannon btw, its claws are deep):

Nature Mage Jinx gets exiled to Demacia and chills with Ivern in the woods.

Canon Divergent AU where Jinx’s attempt at using the Hexgem opens a small portal allowing for Dark Cosmic Lux to get out of pocket dimension prison (This one I actually just have to think of an ending for…)

Monster Slayer Lux with Goblin Powder and Siren Seraphine.

Gods/Goddess AU taking inspo from Greek and Celtic myth, honestly the one I’m most eager to share since I experimented with my writing style.

There’s also that Demon fic which is 13k words that I got stuck on…

Maybe it might turn out okay if I work shopped a soft/open ending for each? Though that might be a bit hard for some of them…
