corpsetalker replied: you forgot orbs how dare. traSH

damn you’re right but alas i just use orbs exclusively on my mal’z “for he peers through them to the future, glowing orbs much like a seer’s crystal ball. they gleam, a cruel mockery of dragon-wrought stars, a promise that he will claim them from their night time canvas.”

Zed's opinion on Syndra? I know some people ship them and stuff but that's a pretty big meh to me unless it's well developed.

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.

The biggest question here is probably: What if Zed and Syndra turn on each other? And I’ve actually been thinking about this and realized they don’t really have anything to gain from betraying each other. Would Syndra really want to work with other less cooperative factions and backstab Zed, only to get an enraged Order hunting her down? And would Zed want to kill a powerful mage whose abilities would be forever gone to him if he stabbed her through the heart? Neither of them has the power to manipulate the other, and neither really has anything to gain by using the other.

@corpsetalker ( Lili/ana ) liked for something nice.

“Despite all your trials, the pacts you made, the problems with your ‘cloak boy’, the veil, and cursed magic...

Despite everything, in the end you did what was right. Some may say too little too late, but Gideon did not think so. Your magic may be something I do not approve of, but your heart shines true once in a while. I suspect you will honor the sacrifice that Gideon made.

I know you will.”

!! i headcanon kat as gryffindor too! a lot of the noxians fit in so weirdly well

they do!!! i would say a majority of them are gryffindors and a few are slytherin. cassio ironicly is a slytherin, but i say that because of her ambitious nature more than anything else. swain would be a slytherin, so would leblanc too. the blood brothers are both gryffindors, katarina, kled, and i think riven would be too. 

also i think i will state that i think lux would be a gryffindor compared to her brother, though. she doesnt value loyalty as strongly as he does, but in the face of all she’s endured and as a mage in demacia standing up to her own family, she shows the main value of bravery. she also has a slight tendency to act much more brashly than garen.

           he could feel rhaast’s uncertainty in the presence of the woman before him, and he was not sure of what that meant as it. curiosity sparks behind his golden optic, a soft grip on the neck of the scythe in hand as it rotates within his ora digits. tonality mirrors prior sentiment,    ❛ --- to what do i owe the honor of this meeting? ❜

Since we're on the topic, smash or pass Lili just for fun ;3

“...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.

Rather, he means that she’s above it.
