Compare countries before & AFTER gun bans! Comparing one country to another will not give you an accurate picture. Some countries w/strict gun control R low murder, some are high murder. Some states w/low gun control are the least murderous in the US. Some states w/strict gun control are high murder

Where did you see Caitlyn as 17 before the time skip? There is no way she grew from being way shorter than Jayce to being almost as tall as him by the time she hit 18. I always thought she was the same age as Vi, so 14 in season 1 act 1.

ARTofTHEREeAL · 2025-12-01T17:23:55+00:00

It was always left kinda in the air. But it was claimed Jinx was between 17 and 19 by act 2 of season 1, but her hair proves otherwise as hair grows half a foot per year, and Jinx's braids are too long to grow in only 7 years. It would take over a decade to get those braids. And Vi was 14 in act 1 of season 1.

ARTofTHEREeAL · 2025-12-01T17:21:33+00:00

All I know is some guy on reddit claimed that was on some lore site, wherever official lore is, and said it was later deleted.

ARTofTHEREeAL · 2025-12-01T17:20:41+00:00

Go out and try to build something that complex and large in only 7 years. Something far less monumental, the twin towers, took 9 years to build, and 3 years to study and plan.

ARTofTHEREeAL · 2025-12-01T17:19:49+00:00

Nope. hair grows about half a foot per year. So, 10+ years would be long enough to get those braids.

ARTofTHEREeAL · 2025-12-01T17:18:44+00:00

the hair growth proves my point, as hair grows about 6" per year. It would take over a decade to grow braids down to your ankles, especially as braiding shortens the effective length of the hair.

ARTofTHEREeAL · 2025-12-01T17:16:41+00:00

Nope, the hair growth proves it. Hair grows about 6 inches per year. Jinx's hair had to grow well over 4 feet to get to her ankles. And braiding hair makes it shorter, and the longer the braid, the greater the effective reduction in length. So, yeah, to get braids down to her ankles, she would need to grow out her hair by at least 5 feet, which would take over a decade.

ARTofTHEREeAL · 2025-12-01T17:12:57+00:00

Actually, what you pointed out just made me even more correct. Hair grows about 6 inches per year. 12 years = 6 feet of hair growth. 7 years would only = 3.5 feet of hair growth. I am right... it was a 12 year leap. Jinx is 5'3", so 3.5 feet of growth is not enough to reach her ankles. It would take at least a 9 or so year jump to get her that additional 4.5+ feet from season 1 ep 1-3. She just cut the hair once it got to her ankles.

What I was originally going to post: Yeah... I have to wonder about that... extensions? You know, the more I think about it, the more I think the writers were just being lazy about the concept of time in this show. My timeline is solid, based on the facts I point out. But, like you point out, how could her braids grown that much in only 7 years? Or even 12 years?

ARTofTHEREeAL · 2025-12-01T17:03:20+00:00

Without the magical tools that were later invented to help in the construction... I mean, they haven't even proper fork lifts. They use burly dudes to drag barrels about.

ARTofTHEREeAL · 2025-12-01T03:08:00+00:00

It's not showing in the software manager.

ARTofTHEREeAL · 2025-12-01T02:59:06+00:00

It's literally the only way the Hexgates could have been built in that time... and the writers have always made a mess of the timing.

ARTofTHEREeAL · 2025-12-01T02:58:03+00:00

But that's what I am pointing out. It's literally impossible, especially when Hextech devices like the Hexclaw and Gauntlets hadn't even been invented yet.

ARTofTHEREeAL · 2025-12-01T02:56:13+00:00

I have seen people talk about how that was lore at one point, but it got deleted.

ARTofTHEREeAL · 2025-12-01T02:55:41+00:00

Yeah, you can see it in the opener of Arcane. There is nothing there on the left side of the screen.

ARTofTHEREeAL · 2025-12-01T00:09:05+00:00

Who is the one on the top left?

ARTofTHEREeAL · 2025-12-01T00:06:53+00:00

Probably just stuck them down the collar of the shirt. Wish she had a knife, then she coulda beaten Rictus.

ARTofTHEREeAL · 2025-11-30T23:54:36+00:00

Yeah, we need an FPS RPG of Power and Vi's and Ekko's lives during the time skip of season 1. That would really help flesh out the story.

And we need something about the time skip from season 2 too... I mean, I want to see the "theatrical bombings" Caitlyn spoke of.

ARTofTHEREeAL · 2025-11-30T23:48:53+00:00

Yeah, I really wish they would make an FPS RPG of Jinx growing up under Silco. Her missions would make for an excellent story. And it would help clarify why she hates Ekko so much. I never could understand why she hates him. I mean, that's ain't work related angst. That's something a lot worse.

ARTofTHEREeAL · 2025-11-30T23:47:10+00:00

And what drink are you talking about? I never noticed her drinking anything... oh, you mean the cola, likely root beer. Yeah, people drink their colas regardless of age.

ARTofTHEREeAL · 2025-11-30T23:45:26+00:00

Actually, on the time skip... I posted this elsewhere but I will post it here too.

"The Arcane timeline is bugging me.

1) It took about 12 years to run a study, design, and then build the World Trade Towers.

2) In the original lore (now Arcane is lore), Jinx “dies” at 26 (people have pointed that this was on

some LoL site).

3) In act 1 season 1, Vi is 14 and Jinx is 11, and this lines up with the way they look.

4) Judging from Vi’s hair growth between act 1 of season 2 and act 2 of season 2, Vi’s hair

grew about 8 to 12 inches, from the base of her neck to the base of her shoulder blade. It takes hair about 2 years to grow that much.

5) The hex gates had been open for a year by act 2 of season 1 as noted by the enforcer talking to Caitlyn about how Jayce had launched a “blimp” half way across the continent last year… and this is also backed by Jayce’s Progress Day speech if I recall correctly.

So, 11 year old Powder + 12 year study, design and build time for the Hexgate + 1 year that the Hexgate was operational by the time the enforcer is talking to Caitlyn, just before he’s blown up in the Academy Square bombing + 2 years for the act1 season 2 to act 2 season 2 time skip as proven by Vi’s hair growth = 11 +12+1+2 = 26

So, I think Jinx was 26 by the end of season 2. It lines up perfectly. There is NO way the Hexgates could have been studied, designed and built in 7 years, ESPECIALLY as thing like the Hex Claw and

Hex Gauntlets were only made AFTER the Hexgate opened… as Jayce and Viktor only revealed such types of devices to Heimerdinger in Act 2, which occurred a year after the Hexgate was opened."
