"She cast a critical eye up and down his form. Firm, fit, alert, hair combed. She mentally called bull on it. "You can drop the glamour, dear. No one cares."
He sighed, and shimmered as his illusion dropped. There was the real Jace; paler, hair rumpled, eyes sunken from late nights, and his chin tinted by the adorable peach fuzz that almost counted as a someday-maybe beard."
From "Homesick" , first chapter of Kaladesh 😂😂

It finally hit me why Unfinity is Not a Vibe; an essay-rant by a nerd fan
So, for summary, Magic: the Gathering; it is a trading card game that I really love for the mechanical intricacies of and the lore flavor having a, shall we say, consistent variety. It's high fantasy with recurring themes across an infinite multiverse, and boy oh boy, has Wizards of the Coast (the game's producing company) Really, REALLY started to push to the outer fringes of that infinity.
They made a new parody set called Unfinity, the 4th in a line of Un- sets. Previous Un-sets, Unglued, Unhinged, and Unstable, all had a fancy silver border for the very not tournament legal cards made in jest for players to have a gaff with. Unfinity, however, has done away with that fragile skin between the un-multiverse and the multiverse, and they have done so at a depth I did not properly comprehend until this struck me.
This is Jace Beleren. He's kind of the officially unofficial poster child for the entire franchise of the game. He's one of the most prolific planeswalkers, which is what we are as players; characters who can hop between worlds within the multiverse as we please, although at effort depending on how powerful a mage you are & how you go about such travel.
Unfinity takes the form of a space-faring carnival theme park that is themed after all of Magic: the Gathering.
And Jace. Visited.
He is also in a non-acorn stamped card, meaning this is legal in all 'eternal' formats. For those of you who aren't shuffling nerds, This is Canon now. Jace went to a theme park based on his struggles.
With play actors like this, recounting the history of another world for fun and profit, with overpriced souvenirs and dangerous roller coasters.
You see this? This is a wrestling match mock-up of one of the most intense points in Jace's life;
Where this scaley bastard;
Nearly became what he wanted to be after thousands of years of scheming, and was only stopped by his own contractually obligated minion;
Did I mention that Liliana and Jace tried to date once?
and here's a show, of one of the many times he's nearly died at the malice of another planeswalker, reduced to pro wrestling in foam-padded costumes.
And he's having fun with a laser gun.
Granted, there's always the excuse that Jace had his memory wiped, again. Apparently being the Multiverse's greatest Telepath makes your own memory highly susceptible to disruption. But it's still too much of a head trip for me to just see this and think he'd dissociate hard enough to be ok with it all.
TL;DR; M:tG Lore Broke, Jokes are Real.
