The Inx: Jinx's Great and Terrible Devotees in Spite of Conv/rgence

The most annoying thing about Conv/rgence as a game is that it introduces great concepts, like the Inx, but just fumbles the execution of them and the overall story.

In Conv/rgence the Inx are a new chempunk gang of Zaunite teens and young adults that idolize and borderline worship Jinx to the point where they're said to spread chaos in her name. But the Zaun that Conv/rgence establishes tells a different story about the Inx from the intended description.

The first time the Inx appear is in the Conv/rgence comic, where the lead members like Chadd play at the Triumph Festival. It's supposed to be a Zaunite festival to celebrate Jayce's defeating Viktor, the Machine Herald. If the Inx follow Jinx's lifestyle why would they even play at such an event to celebrate a Piltovan, and why would Zaunites think the Inx wouldn't make trouble over it? I could go on about how weird it is for Zaun to host a festival to celebrate Jayce, a Piltovan champion for a fight unrelated to them and their wellbeing, but that would take too long.

For people who admire Jinx's boldness, the best they can do in the comics is pretty harmless vandalism where they just graffiti Jinx's monkey tag over some walls. The Inx are also nowhere to be seen in major events like the Scraptown Run, which apparently all Zaun gangs participate in.

Then there's members like Moshpit Meg. Meg's a diehard Jinx fan that loves Jinx's attitude and dedication to explosions. Before that Meg was admired Vi, the enforcer, because Vi's gauntlets reminded Meg of her own naturally big fists and it made her feel less self conscious about her own hands. That second half begs too many questions I don't have time for.

Outside of aesthetic choices there isn't really anything about the Inx that says they're people who stake their identity around Jinx. This is largely because Conv/rgence's universe works hard to sanitize Zaunite grievances against Piltover which directly undermines the central class conflict between Zaun and Piltover. It also largely impacts the motivations and general existence of characters like Jinx and the people who follow her, like the Inx, because they wouldn't exist in the absence of Piltover's oppression.

To avoid addressing any real conflict between the two cities the Inx are only vaguely make sense in the story, especially the game. All except for one element, Chadd. I need to say this...

Chadd is Accidentally (on Purpose?) Great

The brief moments the audience gets to know Chadd's character gives us an interesting glimpse at the people Jinx inspires.

The first thing we know about Chadd is that he's a musician, and it's neat trait that connects him to the musical roots of Jinx's character. In League, Jinx was the first champion in League to debut with a music video. It was through Jinx's character that Riot and Fortiche begun experimenting League with music. So it's very fitting that Convergence creates a chorus of sorts for Jinx to continue that musical tradition. To add to that, the game's promo posters decided to reestablish Jinx's connections by making her a talented karaoke singer.

The next thing to know about Chadd is that he was the one who planne and organized the Inx to transform a rundown theatre into an airborne concert arena. Red, Ekko's close friend and romantic interest in the game, confirmed that it was Chadd who was the one to make it happen, within a week too. It's an impressive creative feat that's clearly in homage to "Get Jinxed's" aerial imagery. Despite how cool a stunt that was I couldn't see how it was meant to impress Jinx, she was the most destructive thing in the theater... until I read the transcript "Hold me like a Fermata".

A shotgun, a flame thrower... who's funeral were you planning Chadd!??!? Just for context this was a transcript Ekko found of Chadd and the Inx talking about a new weapon (and sound system?) Chadd seemed to have made. I'm sure Chadd was the one who made it because the Fermata is also the name of a musical note that represents a pause (sometimes dramatic) in a score.

If you're familiar with music you might also know that the Fermata has more than one name, it's also referred to as "the Cyclops Eye". That kind of reference to Silco used on a weapon for a later act to honor Jinx couldn't have been lost on the writers because the Eye of Zaun was already found on an Inx hangout.

When I finally noticed all these details I finally got that Chadd is dangerously devoted to Jinx. All the points in his character can only lead us to conclude the real plan wasn't to just play obnoxiously loud music when the theater reached Piltover's heights, it was to destroy Piltover with all the weapons they equipped on it. That's the best idea I can come up with because Jinx immediately throws bombs at their plan to cause havoc in Piltover... for reasons. It does match Jinx's track record at least, usually other dangerous or apathetic champions tend to appreciate her, like Urgot, Renata Glasc, and Khada Jhin.

Even Chadd's concept art communicates that he's probably more devoted to Jinx than rest of the Inx. The way his early design evolves to reflect Jinx's influence could even tell a story. The more this douchey glam rocker finds inspiration in Jinx the more he changes himself and his art to reflect Jinx's impact. Chadd grows his hair out, wears his tattoo of Jinx in the same place she wears hers, and even dresses more like her, but he still retains his own diva personality.

One last thing, the funniest thing about Chadd is the fact that both Ekko and Red seperately ask him to explain himself and what "statement" he's trying to make with the Inx. Chadd just flat out refuses to answer, and even breaks up with Red over that. I thought he was being douche (he was), but then I remembered Jinx doesn't explain herself in game either about the mayhem she causes, she just taunts anyone who asks. The student learns from the master I guess.

Tldr: In the Converegence game and comics the Inx are characterized by mild vandalism and pretentious artists. And I could almost get behind that idea if only Convergence wasn't so heavily biased towards Piltover the dynamics of a group like the Inx could have had a more interesting exploration in their motivations and goals. Also, Chadd is a dipshit and he makes a great follower of Jinx!

On vol.4 of my re-watch and hearing Henry flippantly ask Weiss if the Beacon charity is "for another mantle fundraiser of something? 😒" gave me whiplash because of what we've learned about Atlas's treatment of Mantle and how the Happy Huntress's and Mantle's citizens fight for it, as well May's standing with her family as a whole

Rewatching RWBY is so good because there's always something that you thought was insignificant the first time around that turns out to be an important detail. And no matter how closely we all look none of us ever catch all of it.

Seraphine, Jinx and Mundo go to Oswald Asylum to free the inmates.

Seraphine is frightened, but she’s a welcome distraction to let the esteemed medic (tm) and the Loose Cannon in, with a hefty dose of Inx* to back them up.

They butcher the evil personnel, known down each door and lead everybody out the front door.

Some inmates resemble Mundo’s rework concepts.

Including… yes. This iconic being.

Seraphine comes across it crawling after her, and Jinx high-fives one of his fingers.

“Shake the hand, Seraphine.”

She backs out, afraid but polite. “I’m a germaphobe”, she attempts.

“I commend you, young Miss”, the hand says in a baritone voice. “Health is woefully dismissed by the youth of today.”

When everybody is out Jinx plugs her MP3 player and a party breaks out. Jinx and Mundo are perfectly synchronized dancers and they channel every possible pop culture reference.

And when he spins her one time too many she ends up in Seraphine’s arms, and a glance is exchanged.

A romantic glance. And the dance continues with more references.

After a hefty dinner of stolen snacks from the machine and dubious pills, Jinx puts Pow-Pow, Zapper and Fishbones to bed and falls asleep next to Seraphine in an abandoned hospital cot, and they curl up side by side.

“I’ve never been… more satisfied” Seraphine whispers.

“Oh, the fun has just begun.”

Mundo comes to them and covers them both with a random straitjacket he found on the ground.

Teacher: You can't seriously want this 16 year old-

Jinx: actually, i just turned 17.

Teacher: --17 year old to teach a class on history?

Jinx: i mean, i could do better than your current teacher.

The camera pans to Ewart & his pro-belos merch.

Ewart: ....Belos was totally right.

The camera pans back

Teacher: ....Okay, but weren't you the golden guard's lackey?

Jinx: We learn from our past. That's why Hexside needs a good history teacher.

Teacher: ....

so I just saw the sleep token themed smau you did and it gave me an idea: reader is the daughter of a big new wave rockstar from the 80s (like someone from INXS or Duran Duran), and she’s started dating a driver (Alex or Mick) and now there’s a whole generation of fans who are like ‘her dad is who??? in what band???’

I just thought it could be neat, seeing two of my special interests merge like that lmao god I love the eighties-

By the time I'm posting this, it will be January 26th, commonly known as Australia Day where I'm from. A country known for its sweeping plains, unique fauna and the PM fucking off during a nationwide crisis.

I think, despite all Australia's long-standing issues, there are some things about it worth celebrating the culture. Specifically, the music!

Here are some of (what I think) to be some of the most quintessential Australian albums to listen to:

Midnight Oil - Diesel and Dust (1987): Quite possibly the most Aussie album from quite possibly the most Aussie band. The biggest song off of this album, Beds are Burning, is about Aboriginal Australians being forcibly removed from their land, and the lead singer Peter Garrett is really outspoken about justice towards Australia's native peoples, even being in Parliament at one point. Listen if you want to hear what Rage Against the Machine would be like if they were a new wave band and regularly consumed Oak chocolate milk.

INXS - Kick (1987): If the UK had new wave, Australia had pub rock. Artists defined by their songs being so infectious you can remember while you're smashed on seven bottles of Tooheys Extra Dry (kidding. it's called pub rock because that's where they'd play their sets. in pubs). INXS is quite possibly the pub rock band, the genuine article, and this album is a nice gateway into their music; Punchy, upbeat, and memorable riffs for days. (Songs like Need You Tonight and New Sensation for a good idea). Listen if you like Duran Duran or The Cars.

Kylie Minogue - Fever (2001): GOD, how do I introduce Kylie. This country's shining grace. The superstar in our backyard. Our very own Princess of Pop. This album just extrudes that gleam and optimism that'd you find in a lot of Y2K dance-pop music, and I absolutely love it. Listen if you like Discovery-era Daft Punk or Grace Jones.

The Avalanches - Since I Left You (2000): My personal favourite off this list. It might not be the most "Aussie", but I think it makes up for it in its ethereal tone and sampling techniques. One song might just be made up of just one sample, while another might be made up of 50, (Frontier Psychiatrist was originally made up of 28 samples), but it's all tied together by this collective lofi sound. Listen if you like DJ Shadow, Portishead, or The Chemical Brothers.

Regurgitator - Unit (1997): There was this period in the 90's where Australian alt-rock went fucking berzerk, and Regurgitator was one of those bands. Everyday Formula opens with "Everyday I shit into the sea" and ! (Song Formerly Known As) is about not going out to parties and staying at home. Listen if you'd like Gary Numan mixed with the subject matter of early Weezer.

Spiderbait - Grand Slam (1999): Spiderbait was another one of the alt-rock outlets that got really popular despite being really vocal about the hypocrisy of the industry at large. This album contains a wide variety of influences, like 60's bubblegum on Glockenpop (song about the needless commodification of music. their most popular song and highest-earning single of that year. lol), pop punk on Dinner Time and hard rock on Shazam! A pretty good all-rounder made brilliant by vocalist Kram. Listen if you like Green Day or No Doubt.

Empire of the Sun - Walking on a Dream (2008): I put this one on because the cover is really funny, but then I listened to the album and I got a sense of bittersweet nostalgia listening to it. A mix of disco, dance-rock and funk (We Are The People is a good example) make for something that made me wish I was 7 again. Listen if you like Prince or Let's Dance-era Bowie.

TISM - Machiavelli and the Four Seasons (1995): TISM (short for This Is Serious Mum) are a fucking disgrace to this country. They are such a bunch of yobbo cunts that I can't believe they managed to get anywhere past 90 on the charts. Wankers like them deserve to be dragged out on stage and beat to a pulp viciously, to the ravenous delight of the crowd. Don't listen to this album and don't listen to Greg! The Stop Sign!! Listen if you're a masochist, maybe.

AC/DC - Let There Be Rock (1977): Ah yes, good ol Acca. The ultimate dad band. You could put any of their albums on this list because they all sound the exact same, but I put this one on because I prefer Bon Scott's vocals. The title track feels like it goes forever, but in a way where you wish it didn't end. Some nice fashioned high voltage rock'n'roll. Listen if you like Black Sabbath.

There are way more that I could have put on here (Gurrumul, Frenzal Rhomb, Powderfinger, Silverchair, The Presets, The Chats, Men At Work, Tame Impala etc.) but I think you could probably discover them in your own time. In the meantime, here is the very culmination of Australian music. Nearly 50 years has led up to this being made.

Fuckin skitz cunt.

When you remember that in Zaun people are giving fresh eyeballs to a giant turtle with Silco’s tattoo on it's hand, you realize the Inx aren't a huge leap in idol worshippers for next season. Frankly these Jinx stans are downright normal compared to whatever Silco's been encouraging. Sans the elaborate acts of vandalism, terrorism, and real estate theft, they're just well organized, creative, passionate young people that discovered they like pink, blue, crop tops, and fishnets.

The catharsis of revenge brought them together and the power of music/performance art holds them down. They also seem to throw amazing raves.

It's also fun to just think about the immediate ripple effect Jinx's actions have on the zeitgeist Zaun's youth. In Chadd's concept art for Convergence alone it's like the Council bombing changed the trajectory of his life, and Jinx didn't even do that in the game.

#arcane #jinx arcane #convergence #conv/rgence #lol #league of legends #chadd convergence #the inx #i have a crack theory that the inx's creation was largely more informed by arcane for the writers than league #bcuz areas with the inx have Silco's eye of zaun on the walls when you pass by #there's also that formata joke

are u going to any concerts this year?

*whimpering stops* Oh hi anon, well... no, not that I have planned. I know Kraftwerk's coming but I don't have any money for it, and by this point that implies I have to find a job real quick if I want to go... or maybe try making money some other way lol

Probably will wait until some other band/artist that I really like fucking GETS here (Andy Summers literally passing by argentina in his latam tour 😭) and try to find my way at last minute, cuz I already attempted to go see Def Leppard + Motley Crue and failed miserably KSBFKSNDHHdk oh well... I still have local tribute bands :''D

I'm glad to see your enjoying HSR, I love Genshin but Honkai has always been way been more effective at being cohesive at utilizing its MCs and storybeats. I've always had an issue with how despite the game giving you the option to choose Lumine or Aether as the MC its apparent that all the supplementary content for the game and everything else has Aether preset as the default MC compare this to HSR where it feels the same regardless of which MF you choose and only thing that's different is slight gameplay adjustments really and some other small details. But you can tell the devs really tried to make them both different. Idk but I can't help but feel this way

Yeah I definitely agree lmao

I do remember seeing a lot of frustration at how Lumine is almost completely ignored in the game's marketing and side content. But I also think that in general the Trailblazer has been given more of a character than the Traveler. Aside from having a voice, they interact with their environment in unique ways that aren't always up to player choice, they're dialogue is consistently either helpful or fucking weird, and the story has already taken more strides setting them up as an Important Character with Mysterious Circumstances than Genshin ever did with the Traveler in my time playing.

And now I'm gonna talk more bc you opened the flood gates

With Genshin my main problem was always the presentation of it's story. Like, I've seen the lore videos, I've seen the theories and the backstories and the pretty 2D cutscenes, but imo the presence of deep lore doesn't constitute a well written narrative. If the way I'm learning all of this story is through walls of unvoiced dialogue where two characters stand opposite of one another, or through missable collectables, or through timed events that I missed or didn't know were important, then I'm not gonna have a good time lol.

I get so annoyed when I see people saying "Genshin's story is actually good if you pay attention." Like, sorry I'm on my hundredth dialogue box with this nobody NPC who's been running in circles explaining some conflict that I got the gist of 20 sentences ago and I started skipping through.

And while HSR has some of those same issues, they're not as pervasive and spliced up between far greater chunks of genuinely good story and character building. The dialogue is quicker, flows naturally, and almost always voiced (and voiced incredibly well). The quests feel tighter, and the story definitely feels more focused. Every character we meet (sans like, Pela, lmao) are solid, well-defined, and contribute the story that they're in in a meaningful way. Every character feels like they exist for a reason within the story and not just to pad out the roster.

Now, to be fair, I have only just finished Belabog, so my opinion may change in the next segment or it may even change as the game gets more story updates and I'm left disappointment. I actually have no doubts that as the story progresses we're gonna get more fluff characters that don't really add anything because above anything else, a gacha's gonna gacha. But I hope at least I'll still be able to enjoy the story we're getting bc I genuinely think it's great.

Also, if you like Genshin and disagree with everything I said that's fine lol. You enjoy your thing, I'm not gonna stop you.

#anyways yeah lol #my thing has always been that idc how *fun* gameplay is if the story is uninteresting #if there aren't characters for me to chew on idc how many combos I can pull off or stats that I can build #and god no matter how hard I tried gen/shin gave me nothing #ask #inx yourx dreamx galaxy #discourse tag

❤️ 💗Irma's Valentine's day ficlet fest💗❤️

I told myself I wouldn’t do another one of these but since valentine’s day can be depressing as hell, I figured, why not! I’m bringing back the ficlet celebration-valentine’s day edition! Like the previous halloween one, my goal is to keep the ficlets around 100 - 500 words (but more often than not I go way beyond that limit lol). This time around, this prompt list is based on songs titles I like. Happy valentine's day besties!!

RULES

I will write for the following characters: Eddie Munson, Aemond Targaryen (this includes modern!Aemond too), Armitage Hux and Kylo Ren. (Please consider that the main blorbos of the moment are Eddie and Aemond though) 

If you know the song, the ficlet CAN be based on the lyrics or the vibe of it, but it can totally be just the title/phrase that got your attention. I’ll be including the artist on the prompts if you want to listen to the songs though!

Please specify if you’d like for the ficlet to include smut, or if you’d like for me to keep it sfw

I came up with these prompts for my own use, and I don’t consent to have these reposted somewhere else without my knowledge.  

Requests for this specific celebration will be open until February 1st and will start getting posted on that day until valentine's day.

Also, yeah, jinx doesn't even try to hide the fact that they want to take over Bump's position whenever he does retire. They'll find a way. Like, he won't retire for another 200 years? okay cool, I guess Jinx is just going to live that long. Not even by magical means, they're just gonna will themself too.

They also joke a lot about this with Bump, specifically at teacher meetings. Where every time they go "So, any retirement plans yet, old man?" at the end of a meetting.

It's purely out of affection and out of the desire to mimic Bump. It's the only way they know how to show their respect for the man who literally changed their life, and practically saved it.

They have no actual plans to force him, or make him retire, and will actively stand up for the old man to keep his position. If Bump ever hints at retirement, Jinx will try to convince him not too.

#hc; || jinx; #icarus' life it has only just begun; || bump&jinx; #--; j inx does mimicry a l o t #--; they did it with h unter and they do it with b ump #--; this is how u know u are important to them lol #--; however also thanks to b ump they don't just form their personality around the mimicry anymore #--; however it never goes away #--; but yeah they see that old man as a father figure #--; even if they never say it
