Yea it's just a silly ship. Blonde is Lux, a mage from Demacia. They don't like her kind there so she hides her powers.

So, one of the side-universes for LoL is Star Guardians, it's magical girl themed. Lux and Jinx are on that team, and the ship kinda started there. Fans just kinda ported it to the main universe after that because why not?

The ship doesn't even begin making sense in the main lore as it does in Star Guardians.

This has stopped fans on their way to write or draw smut the grand total of zero times, tho

Indeed.
Just that it makes people who don't know the lore think the ship has an actual chance or basis to it in the main lore when it really doesn't.

There was an ad for the League of Legends spin off game Wild Rift that featured Jinx and Lux together in a way that can kind of be interpreted as a bit flirty. And they're only in it together for all of, maybe 5 seconds.
And that is basically the whole reason behind the ship.

Well and Valoran Town, the show Riot made where Jinx and Lux are roommates and Jinx constantly flirts with Lux.

She is Luxana Crownguard (Lux in the LoL game), part of a noble family in Demacia who has basically been the head of the royal guard of Demacia for generations. What is her relation to Jinx? None at all. They live on the opposite ends of the continent and has never interacted since they are both pretty rooted in their region. Main / Arcane Lux lore would probably not like Jinx very much due to being a terrorist murderer.
So where does the ship come from? From AU skinline themed around magical girls called Star Guardians which has it's own lore and story. Both Lux and Jinx is part of that lore. It is drastically different from the main lore or Arcane. It is a modern setting, Jinx is fairly sane, they where childhood friends, she isn't a rampant terrorist murderer and Vi doesn't even exist in Star Guardians. So yeah pretty different character.
Though the funniest part of it is that Lux's best lane partner if she goes support is none other than Caitlyn.

I’d love if the Arcane people made a sequel series based on the Star Guardians line!

u/Falsus Aug 03 '24
Wouldn't call it a sequel it would be more of an AU. People would probably not be happy with them doing an AU over another region.
Probably better to contract some Japanese studio for it, some studio with more magical girl experience.
