I can prove Jinx is alive

with a lot of knowledge and deductions

This is based off of a few other theories which I will link respectively.

This theory begins with another theory: Powder made it to our universe.

In the scene where all of these papers fly up, a head with her hairstyle is visible and... in animation, no accidents happen. (Excluding the possibility the animators are sadistic fucks) This means that Powder traveled through universes. So far, so good.

Now, it's very likely she used the machine which Ekko and Heimerdinger rip left behind for this since she helped build it yadayadayada. We can't know for certain the way this machine works, but I would suggest that it works in the same way the Arcane travel that brought these three there in the first place worked since... when Ekko gets back, it all slots into place and he's back in his body. More on this later.

One characteristic of this way of interdimensional travel is that you can't travel to a dimension where you are dead, the explanation for why Jayce doesn't come with the others to the 'happy end' dimension (or the Arcane has its own will and brought him where he landed because of it but that's boring) because in this one, Vi died, the council prohibited the hextech experiments completely so Viktor didn't come to him and... well. (I unfortunately didn't find where I read that his death is why he isn't in this dimension, but I did somewhere).

This means that in order to travel into a dimension, you need to be alive in this very dimension. NOW if Powder traveled to our dimension, that means that Jinx must have been alive at the time of her travel and since we saw Jinx sacrifice herself for Vi when she was very much herself, this means she must've survived the fall so Powder could travel there and take over her body. Also, we see Powder in the end scene and since she'd take over Jinx' body when she travels dimensions, Jinx' body must've been alive at the end of the story.

Now. What does this mean for Jinx? Where is she?

She is alive, that much is clear now, but where is her psyche if her body is controlled by Powder?

There are two options really, and it boils down to how inter dimensional travel works.

Option 1: when you travel to a different dimension, you take over your other selves' body and they just kinda get knocked out. This would mean that while Ekko was in the other universe, parallel!Ekko was just kind of nowhere. This doesn't make that much sense to me since it would mean there's a forward and backward direction for travelling.

Forward means you stack a soul on top of another one, backward means that the soul gets sent back. It's kind of possible, but a bit dull and rough around the edges. Also, this would mean the machine Ekko and Heimerdinger built is specifically designed to bring them BACK which means Powder couldn't have used it to travel forth so... it's a bit scuffed.

Option 2: Symmetrical travel. When you travel to another universe, the soul from that universe possesses YOUR body in turn. This means that the way forward and the way backward is exactly the same, the minds get switched and the direction doesn't matter. This would more easily allow Powder to use the machine to travel forward into another universe since it's the same procedure as travelling backwards. A way to prove this would be to check if Ekko's or Heimerdinger's body have been active in OUR universe while they were there. Actually, now that I think about it, this would mean there IS still an alive Heimerdinger in our universe. This theory makes more sense to me, though, again, that would mean there's someone controlling your body in your universe while you're controlling theirs.

Now, this means that, option 1: Jinx would just be KO while Powder has control of her body BUT option 2 would be: Jinx is in the 'happy end' universe while Powder is in ours which is also just a lot more interesting.

Maybe I'll check if I can find proof for option 2, but this is it in the meantime. BUT anyway, Jinx is alive! And this also means Ekko COULD still get his happy end (I made this theory for him, poor boy deserves a happy end), with Jinx or with Powder.

The mafia boys meet inter-dimensional travel (pt.1)

Relationships: Romantic erasermic, platonic erasermic

AU: Mafia AU and reverse Mafia AU

Warnings: Cursing

Credit: This is inspired and written for @nartothelar's Mafia AUs, with permission. PLEASE go check their work out!

Summary: The mafia Au and reverse mafia AU Hizashis switch dimensions, and are so tired.

Hizashi straightens his skirt as he looks at himself in the strange mirror of a room he doesn’t recognize. Sighing, he turns on his heeled shoes to go and see if Aizawa is around. Today is not starting well, and he could use a familiar face.

The room- well it’s the correct shade of green on the walls but the pictures are wrong, and Squeak is not here on his perch…. Hmmmm.

The door to the room opens and there stands Shouta Aizawa- Or a strangely dressed aizawa with all his fingers on display as he holds out two different swords to Hizashi.

"Boss," Aizawa says with a nod then, "Are you sick or some shit?"

Hizashi blinks slowly, once, then twice, "No, I'm not sick."

"Great, let's go, Bakugou blew shit up again."

"Again?" Hizaahi sighs slowly, "Damn."

Aizawa nods, "Let's go then. Boss."

Hizashi blinks, "Aizawa, what are you wearing?”

“Clothes.”

Hizashi would say something but this is a standard conversation. It is weird to see Shouta Aizawa dressed like this without the proper jacket, or even Cannoli on his arm.

“You-” Hizashi begins, almost accusing because he wants to know where the blazer went.

“You are the one dressed different.”

Hizashi blinks slowly then, “What’s my name then?”

“Boss what-”

“What is my name, Aizawa?”

“Hizashi Yamada.”

“You’ve never seen me dressed like this Aizawa? I dress like this everyday, you know that, sugar.”

Aizawa shakes his head slowly, “Boss-”

“I’m not the boss, you are.”

“Boss you’re sick-”

“Where are we?” Hizashi asks, beginning to have a feeling of dread.

“Your room.”

“This isn’t my room.” Hizashi says firmly.

“Yes it is, boss. You need water or something?”

“I-” Hizashi glances around and the window gives a view he’s never seen, “I don’t think I’m where I’m supposed to be.”

“No, you’re late for a meeting.”

Hizashi straightens his hair with one hand then sighs, “What do you know about the logistics of waking up in a different universe or dimension?”

Aizawa raises a brow, “I know of a few quirks that exist within enemies.”

“Did you- did I fight anyone yesterday with an unknown quirk?”

“Yes, you were injured, boss. How did you-”

“... Aizawa, I think I’m in the wrong universe.”

“What the fuck are you on about boss?”

“You have all your fingers, but the you I know is missing his pinkie, runs the business.”

“Boss-”

“Aizawa you know in your heart I’m not your Hizashi.”

Aizawa stares at him. And wow Hizashi really does miss his Shouta dearly.

Also watching a different Aizawa make such similar expressions is weird.

“You’re-... Shit you’re right. We can’t let others know.”

“... Tell me what to do.”

“I- You need to change... Your whole outfit and personality…I’ll help.”

Hizashi nods slowly then, “Catch me up on how life works here, sugar. Please?”

-------

Yamada stares at the clothes in the strange closet with distaste, whichever family has taken him is in for it now. He has no doubt his beloved Shouta will come for him.

The worst part is how shoddily they attempted to replicate his room. The pictures are all wrong, and why is there a cat on here?

“Zashi,” Neymuri’s voice rings, “Hey, Boss wants you in his office.”

“He- excuse me?” Yamada turns his red eyes to Nemuri with a startling annoyed gaze.

“Hizashi, Boss wants you there, to discuss the secretary portion of your job.”

“I am not his secretary one. Two, Neymuri I would expect better from you-”

“Whoa- did Aizawa break up with you or something?” Neymuri blinks stepping into the room, “Wait- when did you get that scar?”

“What scar?”

“The one over your eye. Zashi, the hell kinky shit you been up to?”

“What-”

“Hizashi,” Aizawa’s voice rings, and Yamada is relaxing. Shouta enters, and he’d dressed- wrong.

A strange scar signs across Aizawa’s face, and he’s missing one of his pinkie fingers, Yamada knits his brows, then, “You Aren’t my bodyguard.”

“Uhm- no. I do save your sorry ass though.”

“You look like him, sound like him too. Almost had me fooled.”

“I- Hizashi-”

“Yamda, actually,” He corrects cheerily, “And I’d like you to tell me which crime family had the balls to kidnap me.”

“Boss,” Neymuri says, Shouta looks at her, “He was like this when I got here.”

“I believe you.” Shouta nods, “Yamada, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

YAmda looks around, everything is different, but the man before him is- some twisted version of his beloved guard, of his Shouta Aizawa. The woman is clearly Neymuri, and yet-

“Fuck,” Yamada hisses, A little faster on the uptake than Hizashi was, he has the perk of being a mob boss of course. He fought a person with dimension related quirk usage. Great. Perfect.

“Yamada-”

“Your Hizashi is in so much trouble if he touches my Aizawa,” Yamda says matter of factly, “I’ll explain more later. TAke me to the bakery.”

“Uh- Boss,” Neymuri says, “Are you-”

Shouta looks Yamada in the eye, solid steel energied black eyes meet the red of Yamada’s stare, sizing him up with the obvious intruder status revealed. But Shouta nods slowly, accepting the situation.

“I’m sure Neymuri. Go, Yamda and I need to talk, I’ll need to find Hizashi soon-”

“Cut your losses,” Yamada says coldly, because no matter how much he hates it he sees no way home. “I am.”

“Then whoever you’ve left behind will know you as a coward.” Shouta says sharply, “I need to find Hizashi.”

“If your version of me has any resemblance to me he’ll be fine.”

“I don’t care, he deserves to be home.”

“Oh, you and Shou would get along, bull headed things you are.”

Shouta sighs, today has been a disaster, what he wouldn’t give for a nap. But he has Yamada to sort out and Hizashi to find. And still, a version of Hizashi is better than no Hizashi, isn’t it?

“Maybe. Come on, we have to make plans.”

“Yes, we do.”

Yamada strides to follow Shouta, exiting the room and heading towards an unknown destination. But At least he knows this version of his Aizawa is trustworthy.

Though, if he’s honest… He’d trust any version of Aizawa….

A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray

[bera-chan]

6 in the morning and havnt slept, was thinking how ridiculous the movie Alien is. One point being that the water in the air would have killed them before that glass of water ever did. Then I thought that maybe in reality, those aliens mastered inter-dimensional travel and they went to the land of OZ, and impregnated the wicked witch of the wests mother, hereby explaining her weakness to water, and subsequent death.

[generallyallaroundweirdo]

Writing prompt: a character (from a doomed time line) is sent to a different time line where their life is better, where they could live and thrive and be happy. They have to decide whether they want to go back to try and save their doomed timeline or do they stay where they’ll live?

All right, so I've started on this, but I haven't finished. I'll reply with the rest though! (I really like this prompt, it has a lot of food for thought)

ahem:

We are called group 1A. We are the first to attempt inter-dimensional travel. We are not special, not precious. I do not pretend to ignore the village’s message to me, to those who have been selected. We are the dispensible, the worthless. The ones who this small community will not miss in the event of failure.

Even so, we will be the first. The first at what, it does not matter. This dimension is crumbling like stale bread, and all we have left are a few crumbs before even the ants will disregard us. We are almost out of time. It feels as if a clock is constantly ticking in the background, counting down to our demise. Even in silence, I hear the ticking.

I am strapped to a metal bench, wedged between the other two chosen for the first mission. Across from us is a miniscule screen that counts down from fifteen. If is fitting, I think; it gives a voice to the ticking I have heard ever since I was informed that I would be part of group 1A.

We have 13 seconds to go.

I look around the room, squinting to see beyond plastic panels that seperate us from the scientists running this operation. Some have screens that they will use to record how the first mission goes.

8 seconds left.

The man next to me clenches his fists. His breath is coming in short gasps. I put my hand over his, and he stills. His face twists into a grimace.

5 seconds.

The room is white, too white. The walls are too polished, too shiny. My last view of this dimension will be the plastic sheen of sterile labs.

3 seconds.

The man next to me grips my hand tighter.

The ticking continunes. I can hear the ticking in my head echo the clock. 2, 1…

Pain. All I know is pain. I am everything, nothing all at once. I am everywhere, my body being pulled in all directions. It feels as though I am tumbling down a circular staircase. The woman on my right is screaming, but I cannot hear her. It is as if the air has turned to sand and I am buried in it. It is endless, the pain, and I have enough time to come to terms with my death. I will not be missed, and I will not miss myself. I was doomed from the start, what difference does it make how I die?

We jolt to a stop, the leather straps digging in to my chest as I lurch forward. There is no more pain, and we are alive.
