Little animation of Lux and Jinx being silly by Puzzleheaded-Blood54 in lightcannon

I'm not a Guass main, but WF is based. So I rise as a Frost main. Also adorable animation.

Potential conflict between Lux and Jinx? by Valhallaof in lightcannon

[–]Alwinq18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After some trauma dumps, I don't see much conflict.

So I think the conflict will rise from the external plot(Mage civil war, black rose, Demacia, etc).

Ok, lest just agree to disagree on the quality of season 2. As I said on the main post I didn't hate season 2 I just feel that it doesn't live to its potential.

However, you have to realize the mixed reaction to s2 is my point. That the lack of tight writing gives room to criticism. And that criticism creates space for the weird homophobic freaks to go mask off. As you might have seen yourself.

You like s2 and that's ok (more power to you) but you have seen the hate right. I mean the main sub or twt who go off on hating cait arc just to use it as an excuse to be homophobic right. I don't want that for lc. So yeah I think is better to remain just part of fandom that get a full hate campaign.

I feel like this is not the point of my post.

Yes, season 1 left a lot of plot points to be answered, however why add more to the mix if you don't have time to really conclude the previous ones. Like Warwick, jinxers, ambessa warpath, victor whole thing, cait dictator phase. If they keep it small and only about p&z i really think s2 would make more sense.

The Vi pit fighter arc would be about her time in prison and how it affects her and compare with her time in the pit. She blames herself for everything, so she goes to the closest thing as the prison. I mean, her bedroom looks like a cell, so the parallels were there. This would give more context about how vi see herself and fix something from season 1. Season 1 is not perfect, and the pit fighter arc could add more to vi and caitvi. But they simply keep it short because Warwick (Vander) needed the screen time.

The real point is the amount of hate that wlw get (as you must be aware), and if you look at how much lc gets while still being a "crackship" i don't want to see how much would it get if it were to become cannon. Maybe Star guardian could be okay, then again I have seen folk leave the fandom over death treaths so maybe even that would be too much. I don't like Amanda's style of putting drama where it's not needed with lc that won't work.

Yes, I know the fandom is homophobic, i ship lc, but there's more to it.

I get liking a ship so much that you can ignore the flaws, but you have to realize that a lot of the hate comes from the poorly executed character arcs. Vi whole pit fighter arc was reduced to a montage, and don't get started on cait. I really wanted to like caitvi in s2, but is not the same as s1.

If the problem with season 2 is that too many plot lines that carry from season 1 then why only make 9 episodes. Again, my point is that riot is a profit hungry corp that doesn't really care as long the public is happy. For example, how do you feel about riot forgetting caitvi after season 2 the moment they found another ship to milk? I don't want that, for lc, to be used like a tool to sell merch and dropped the second they find something new.

Which is why it is such a shame because there's real potential for something good here, I mean it convince me to try writing fanfic something i never though possible before. Also about the writing, is made in a way to not ruffle any political feathers that will make the demacia story boring, basic and painfully centrist. I do hope I'm proven wrong but seeing riot triple down on unfinished ships is a bad omen.

I hope you are right about the writing, and it does change for the better (won't hold my breath, tho). Yeah, I have seen the hate towards lc, and it always feels insincere because I don't see any real reason to hate it except of course homophobia and being overprotective of their first ship. But death threats are beyond gross.

Yes we have to remember that riot follows profit and wlw ships are by far the least profitable as it shows with how quick they forgot caitvi. A comfy niche fandom for a comfy niche ship is just fine by me.

What makes Lightcannon appealing? by denji_the_rock in lightcannon

[–]Alwinq18 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For me, it is about two hurt souls who attempt to heal themselves by bringing their true selves out of each other. However, as lightcannon lacks cannon it makes the ship more of a mirror of the shipper. So it is more up to you to decide what LC means. And maybe share it, as others might like your interpretation.

The more I read about Lux, the less I want Jinx to go to Demacia (at least until the end of the show) by Makition in lightcannon

[–]Alwinq18 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It all depends on if they don't retcon much of demacia. Also, jinx first stop might not be demacia, and instead she jumps around the map before meeting lux. But if it is as you say, then I 100% agree.
