What do you think of Arcane not using Camille, Ezreal, or anything of the other PnZ champions, and especially reworking the hex tech crystals? I think there was a voice line in the game that Camille was somewhat responsible for Vi and Jinx's parents death.

It was absolutely the right move for Arcane season 1, back when the show wasn't supposed to be the main canon. Arcane Season 1 already struggled with having too many storylines and not enough time to fully explore them, and adding ANY more characters to the cast than were in it already would have made it impossible to make anything cohesive.

It was a very good move to basically seal Arcane away from Runeterra Prime and most of its characters, and focus closely on the story of the three pairs: Piltover and Zaun, Jinx and Vi, Viktor and Jayce, weaving their stories in and around each other to tell a single tragedy.

... and there's really no better example of what a good move it was to do that than Arcane Season 2, which was catastrophically crippled trying to tell at least three full seasons' worth of story in a nine episode mini-season, ON TOP of trying to fulfil the sudden new role of becoming the new bedrock of lore and storytelling for the entire fucking IP. Imagine if somehow they would have had to try and also fit in Camille and Seraphine and Zeri and the Brackern and Blitzcrank and Twitch and Urgot and Zac and Ziggs and Renata Glasc and, jesus christ, Dr fucking Mundo.

That's what Riot wants to do with it now, though. They want, somehow, for the setting created by Arcane to be able to contain all of those characters coherently. Which it cannot, and should not.

Ah well. Corpos.

Hey if Hazel, Dev, and the gang play DnD, what do you think they would play as.... and how who would be the fortunate(or unfortunate) DM?

When I was 10, my older brother would play massive D&D campaigns in the living room. He tried teaching me the mechanics but it was too much and too boring for my small brain. Instead, I was far more fascinated with things like Warrior Cats.

Apparently Warrior Cats has a d&d game though. So. The kids would all play that instead!

Dev would eventually be roped into joining. Mainly because when you're sitting with a table of kids doing storytelling, you end up getting very invested, and very frustrated when they make the very wrong choices!!!

Won’t it be kind of cute and interesting if one of the triplets was a huge plant and gardening nerd? Like they would have to a big garden with different plants and flowers with very detailed instructions on how to care for them.

Absolutely! I can so see that, and it's kind of like a combination of their two parents' personalities in a way.

Like Monroe is really big into meticulous, homey hobbies. He likes clocks. He loves to decorate for holidays. He enjoys cooking elaborate meals. I'm actually kind of shocked we DON'T see him gardening.

And Rosalee is essentially a modern apothecary, so herbs and flowers and careful instruction are part of her day to day life. I can see Rosalee and Monroe helping their kiddo get the garden started, and their kid eventually bringing Rosalee ingredients she needs for the shop from their garden too!

What do you personally think of the theory/headcanon that the lore update about Riot making Camille and Seraphine related(probably mostly adopted)?

I've not heard of that one. I don't have any strong opinion on it?

Seraphine is a very thinly drawn character, generally, because Riot hasn't put work into expanding her beyond her premise very much (thank you Legends of Runeterra for making an effort!), and in the canon that exists, Seraphine has no relationship with Camille whatsoever (nor any reason to have one.) Camille is concerned with preserving balance of power in Piltover, Seraphine is a pop singer singing kumbaya songs to the rabble (from Camille's perspective anyway). It's outside her sphere of interest.

Back when the Brackern were still the source of Hextech, there was more of a tangible thematic line between them, but now that Hextech is all science-invention, that's no longer relevant.

suqling made an amazing mini-comic depicting a confrontation between the two of them which I wish was more true to the character as she is presented, but... yeah.

Literally any headcanon about Seraphine is going to be more interesting than the reality of what's actually published.
