I Read The Orignal 1938 Story A Lot In High School And There Was A 2013 Movie With  Ben Stiller. 

Flashback: 2000s.

Only real gamers remember

Oh I don’t have the skills, or resources to do it myself. 

The idea came from your post about  Blazamy, of how the two can just talk to each other, and having better communication between Amy and Blaze. (Compared to as you said ‘ it's like a whole song and dance and a few near death experiences to get Sonic and Shadow to talk about their thoughts and feelings, that's just how they are written.)

My idea is ‘what happens when you give a good reason for trouble between the pair?’ and cue Blaze not wanting to get close less  she cause harm to Amy, still loving her dearly for a second time, and Amy wanting to know the truth, no matter how painful it could be for both of them. 

I love all the ships, Amy/Sonic, Amy/Shadow, and yes, Amy/Blaze and you done a wonderful job with them all, especially the Amy Rose, Agent of GUN and Team Dark comic  you are doing right now. If you find the time, I’m sure you could have fun with it. 

Random idea: Blaze and Amy was in a relationship before Amy's death in a slightly different Sonic 2006 timeline. Cue the reboot, Blaze is one of the few who remembers, but is afraid she would cause Amy's second death while wanting to love her again if she gets too close and Amy just wondering who Blaze is and why she seems so familiar... what could go wrong?

Interesting idea. Maybe you should write more about it👍

Anything is possible.  His official Overwatch 2 backtstory states Junkrat founds something on the lines of ‘a extremely valuable secret in the bones of the Omnium’. What that could be we have no idea what it might be, or could be even now. 

What is this secret? Could it be the means of speaking to Aurora, or understanding the Iris? Could it be the means of freeing the Omnics from Null Sector? Is  it the answer to  Ramattra’s unsaid question? 

We just don’t know. But I still think whatever Jamison  knows, or even has could be critical element of the story. 

Random theory: This is a old one, but Junkrat's treasure is actually the secret of Omnic life and could be the key in saving them and starting the next generation and future generations onward.

Of course he's much too crazy and insane to even understand what he knows, or what he has, but Jamison could actually be the biggest game changer of the whole setting.

That's the irony in the Junker who hates Omnics could be the one to save them.

That is both very funny to me and also a very interesting way to get the Junkers involved in the main storyline.

Do I think it's possible? No, I think a big thing in the story is the fact that Omnics are a set generation, but that's not the only problem, they are an oppressed minority. Making a new generation isn't going to stop the discrimination and abuse. It's a fix to a problem but not a fix to the problem.

But this did get me thinking.

In an interaction Rammattra has with Echo he mentions that he has a question he constantly asks her and that he wishes she could answer. Maybe what Junkrat has it the answer to that question. Or maybe it's the answer to what happened when Aroura ascended/what the iris is.

Better yet what if what he has is the key to saving the Omnics who have been subjugated? Like it's a technology that can remove the helmet without hurting the omnics?

I don't know but this ask has gotten me thinking-

Ultimate/Absolute Sly Cooper

Picture if you will, a Ultimate and/or a Absolute version of everyone's favorite thief Sly Cooper and his world.

To those who are not familiar, the Marvel new Ultimate Universe is where the Villain the Marker came to a earth and with time travel change everything to match his image, stopping the birth of many different heroes by various means. Eventfully you have new heroes showing up to take back the world from the Marker and his allies upholding the Status Quo.

The latter is similar, but focus on Darkseid corrupted a universe where heroes have to burn twitch as bright to stand up on a earth overcome by darkness and villainy. With heroes missing a key element of their background, but their core remains.

So picture if you will, a Ultimate Sly Cooper who never became a thief, or lost his parents. He married Carmelita and had a family. But always feeling like he was missing something. Only for one day to learn the truth of the world, and becomes a Master Thief to fight the status quo.

The second, a Absolute Sly, who made never had his Cooper gang, never had Bentley, and Murray in his life. Maybe he never had the Thievius Raccoonus, or any of that. He been a long wolf all this time in a world dominated by those like the Fiendish Five, the Klaww Gang, and Le Paradox among others. But Sly will always be Sly and he a Master Thief who fights the people and those who can't fight back.

I admit I took a lot from Horizon and Call of Duty Extinction and more I'm making up as I go. I finally got Declassified and I could not help myself.

In my mind, child Sombra was taken by Anubis loyalists, and forcibly turned into a cybernetic freak. Unlike Sojourn (Who isn't really there anymore. There nothing left of Vivian Chase, only Anubis.) as the God Program host body, Olivia Colomar still exists, fighting against the Sombra's persona.

Doomfist, he's definitely one of the major leaders, or figures on the Mars Colony of Humans. His Social Darwinism philosophy to reclaim the Earth from the Omnics and the 'fake humans'. He, and Moira would be the biggest Martian Humans Heroes. Compared to maybe Mercy and Lifeweaver who should stay on Mars and focus rebuilding.

I see you had Cassidy as among the Human Survivors on Earth. In my eyes Cassidy would be an Jeremiah Johnson/Man with No Name. A man with few if any words to say, it all in his actions. So alone for so long, but still has a heart in him.

Of course Mauga would still be alive and kicking. He gone full Ocean World.

Illari, could be interesting if the Inti Warriors are still around in the Andes and just wanna be left around/left undiscovered.

All the cloned cast would be very different. But you can still see certain characteristics from Canon as part of the 'Human Nature.' Some would become rebellious like Ashe, and Junker Queen, others trying to figure out what a human being actually means.

Ramattra would be one of the most interesting to explore. Even here I feel he would be a sorta outsider because of being a Ravagers, built by Anubis for war. He has no reason to hate humans, but maybe thinking the project to bring them back to be a bad one. Even so I like to think he defends everyone on top on going after Anubis itself. Peace at any cost. The same for working with Macaria.

Curious to see Echo and Orisa. I guess the're attempts by the Omics to create a new generation.

Large parts of the Earth have been left abounded, reclaimed by nature, litter with the legacy of mankind and the Crisis, Omnics are often clustered around the old Omniums as well as several other locations.

No idea why I did this, but you might enjoy it and offer some insight on it. The Omnic Crisis ended with the Extinction of Humanity. Or Pyrrhic Victory in the Crisis.

I now have brain rot. I love this so much!!

Ok first I would like to point out a couple of things. The first being, considering the state of the Overwatch world during the Crisis, other then then brilliant minds being saved, the only other people who would have been saved were probably rich. Another thing is that I think the only people who would be cloned would be those who died at a young age, so a majority of the old guard stay dead, and a suggestion I would make to avoid complicating ages would be have the cloning process match how old the DNA is.

I would also like a specification on what Sombra is doing in this AU, because I assume she's trying to save Sojourn, but it also sounds she's either also being controlled by Anubis or helping him in some way.

However speaking of Sombra there is something I need to specify and that it, if a character has augmentations like she does in canon and they are part of the few surviving humans on earth in this universe, they wouldn't have those augmentations unless they were needed for survival and they were saved by Omics.

Also I would love to see how morals change for characters because of this change. Specifically the Talon characters.

I would also like to point out that Ramattra and maybe Zen would probably be the main ones trying to stop Anubis on the Omnic side of things, maybe even working with Macaria.

Anyway I also made a list on what I think the state of all the characters, so enjoy;

I just found your page, but I am loving what I am seeing I won't lie. Also playing through the Legendary Collection.

Let's be real, Borderlands 3 was a total botched job with none of the writers from 2, or Pre-Sequel carrying over and failure to follow up on everything they was building up too. The total lack of Athena, as well as Aurelia is just some of the many problems with it.

That said, I do love the irony of New Tales showing Athena to be the head of some major company on the same level of Atlas, Maliwan, and Jakobs lines up just with your art. The same for Athena helped with Jack rise to power later takes control of Hyperion alongside her wife.

I do like the idea of Theia being a planet of constant earthquakes and just like the idea of landmasses and mountains at random. I can see a lot of wildlife having armor-like skin and super shape claws and talons to move through rock and soil. The same for like big bears like monsters and big cats like caracals, Maybe also giant redwood trees that helps keep the ground together with roots that everywhere.

Theia's nice parts look like Northern California, the rest between Death Valley, Mustafar, and the Rockies.

Yeah, that and just how hated and loathed the company has become, they're got a big bunker/fortress mindset going on. Almost Dwarf like.

XXX

Selene: Maybe it one big supply ship/smaller space station, always in Helios stations shadow or something like that.

Eos: A giant manufacturing sea ship sounds like a lot of fun and something a little more old school in the Sci-Fi setting.

XXX

I do like the idea of Athena's real name and the fact the forsaken it, but I respect wanting to cut herself off from her painful past. The people who both know her real name and are still alive can be counted on one hand. (With Janey it was one of the big movements of their early relationship.)

Also her surname of Hoplite is a nice if on the nose. (Something Janey loves making jokes about.)

I do like how Athena's belief in redemption being the biggest driving force of taking over, while Janey has a field day.

The Voice of Hyperion: This goes with below, but maybe she was recover from the wreck of Helios and traded hands a few times before reaching Theia. She becomes Athena and Janey biggest backer in secret before showing herself. (Think Tales Loader Bot becoming the Masked Kidnapper to learn what happened. Or even Angel in 1 and 2. ) She has no want to rule Hyperion, but wants Athena to do it because she so good at killing her enemies.

I also love the idea of AI!Jack comeback and acting as this devil on Athena's shoulder before she puts him in a gun and shots him to the nearest planet. Kinda reminds me of Wiping the Slate, which Jack has you get the head of the Meriff statue and sending it to Pandora on a rocket.

I would add in say Aurelia Hammerlock, also done wrong by 3, and poor Timothy Lawrence. Maybe even Gaige, still on the run from the Holloway family and not used great by Gearbox. (Another OC is a Truxican gunslinger.)

XXX

Janey as a Eternal makes a lot of sense, born and raised on Elpis, lived through the Crackening. Yeah, her being one makes sense and would be fun to see.

XXX

Hmm...

Athena's team still being alive (Maybe they ditch and the BL1 Vault Hunters killed their seconds in commands.) and kidnapping Athena and blowing up her and Janey home is pretty dramatic. Even going as far to cut her ring finger off is super sad. (Athena caring far more about the ring than how a missing finger would affect her fighting). Using that, in my mind, they both wanting the old Athena back, and being paid by one of the Hyperion factions to bring her in to use. Maybe the Watcher, maybe the Voice of Hyperion gives Janey the lead to chase after them, events lead them to both crash on Theia.

The reformed Hyperion is under attack, by both Old Hyperion/Jack Loyalists and a group of smaller corporations hoping to bring down and take over the Titan. Athena, Janey and their allies all in the middle of it all (Backed by the Voice/secret backer.), and have no choice, but to play a role in the battle that leads them taking over Hyperion and finishing the Battle of Theia. All of it is a lead up to the War the Watcher warned about.

I will say I like the idea of Janey having such extreme attachment issues after what she been through and now suddenly her life with Athena is stolen away would lead her being very vicious. Beware the nice ones indeed and in this case a furious gay Aussie. Heck, I like the idea of her hating anything that looks like a kraggon. I hate kraggons as much as I hate fighting skags.

I just would love to explore this idea more and I love Athnea/Janey a lot myself.

I really love your art and I especially love the Borderlands stuff. In particular the Hyperion Rebirth AU. I would love to see more or even just explore the idea. Like just how Athena took over, how she did it with Janey and Fiona, they're relationship, Janey's hand, their status in the Borderlands and much more.

If your open to it I do have certain ideas for it.

Like Hyperion falling into what amounts to a civil war with Jack's death, how badly he ran it, and all the money and resources he sunk into Pandora on top of Helios crashing Planetside. Athena and Janey are dragged into one side and Fiona by a another on the company planet of Theia. (The wife of Hyperion and Goddess of sight and brilliance along with gold, silver and gems with their brilliance and value). All three meet once again and start to work together to win control over Hyperion themselves.

oh my god hi!!!! tysm for the ask i never expected anyone to ask me about this old au <3

side note btw that i apparently decided to exclude Fiona from this au 🥲 she’ll likely have an appearance other places but won’t have any direct connections to Hyperion

under the cut is a very unorganized set of pictures + explanations of what i had in mind for Hyperion’s Rebirth:

—-—-—

ORIGINS

to start, i just want to mention how this au came to be.

it was mostly fun and games tbh, where i was in an era between playing BL3 and BLTPS constantly. although i never used them, i found it ironic that in BL3, the Hyperion weapons had shields extremely similar to Athena’s shield.

since i was SUPER disappointed that Athena didn’t even at least have a mention in an ECHO, and i was SUPER deprived of content of her, i decided to make a FUN, NON-CANON ALTHOUGH HEAVILY LORE-BASED, COMPLETELY SELF-INDULGENT AU where Athena had taken over Hyperion just bc she wanted to 😇 starting this project in 2021, i would work on this on and off for my own enjoyment

flashforward only one year later—

………..hashtag goals 🤟🏼. never worked on it for a while even before ntftbl was announced unfortunately 💔

HYPERION ITSELF

you were very spot on with the concept of Hyperion being on the planet Theia, i was super confused seeing it bc i never remembered sharing anything about this 😭😭

i wanted Hyperion to be SUPER heavily reinforced, because of how widely loathed the company is, its history, and because of the overall environment of Theia. every few hours, the surface shifts from entire slabs of the floor, taken from the idea of plate tectonics.

i was also gonna work on the unique fauna, just like how Pandora has skags and Eden-6 has jabbers !! i had only given it caracals since they’re my favorite animal :,3

blands LOVES their greek myth motifs so i wanted to apply that here also

a common trend with the corporations was that each tend to have some kind of second base. i used Selene and Eos, since they were also the children of Theia and Hyperion (Helios isn’t present since it crashed obv).

i never had any ideas for Selene, but an idea i had for EOS was that it was an underwater ship.

CHARACTERS

THIS I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE MOST!!!

a very specific headcanon i have for Athena is that it isn’t her real name. she was very young at the time she was taken into Atlas, where they had actually given the assassins different names. her real name is Gayle Alvarez, to which she rejects as symbolism to how she’s letting go over her past after all these years, accepting who she is now. (she gave herself that last name “Hoplite” tho LMAO)

^^ this all comes from that fact that i was VERY petty over the fact that her sister, Jess, should’ve been named Minerva. it makes more sense to me idk

ANYWAYS this just describes Athena and Janey’s positions in Hyperion just a little bit. Athena is obviously the CEO and Janey has taken position to where she had designed almost everything.

in terms of the third point, i had actually wanted to make the Voice of Hyperion to be a prominent character in here also!! i didn’t get too far with her unfortunately 💔

FUN FACT i was actually also gonna bring HoloJack as a character concept, although he’s just stuck in an ECHO device. i was thinking that in order to run Hyperion, Athena would need the advice of an ex-CEO. they both only agree to an exchange of management tips for a new body. Athena obviously flanks out after getting Hyperion into a suitable condition, then stuffing the ai into a submachine gun and launching it towards the furthest planet 🤔 it was a funny concept but i dropped it after a while

—

on to something more specific, i do wanna mention this art piece, which ties into another one of my headcanons.

Janey was born on Elpis, being present before and after the Crackening. as it occurred, she had been exposed to whatever unstable eridium had managed to leak through, all without her knowledge—she barely remembers anything of the sort happening

TO SUMMARIZE, Janey is like the Lost Legion Eternals, specifically, a Phasewalker!!!! from the game, the LLEs only ascend once reaching a near-death situation, which explains why Janey never figured it out. the closest she did was when she and her ex gf were mauled by Flamey, where her Phasewalking activated and she managed to get away.

STORY

there is no story, sorry. 😓🤕

the closest i have are unofficial concepts, since i had literally almost zero experience and knowledge in world building.

the main idea i had focused on was something to do with Athena’s old Atlas squad, the Omega Assassins. from some, currently undecided decision, Vulcana, Hera, Minerva, Ceresia, and Helicon found themselves alive, even after supposed elimination from the BL1 Vault Hunters. despite her betrayal, they wanted Athena back, and would do anything to prevent her from settling away.

ALSO, another idea was that after the Omega Assassins found out that Athena was married/engaged, they had cut off her ring finger. this explains why i drew her wearing her rings on a chain near her chest.

below is an extra character development attempt which i had named “scene where janey plays the guitar”

this takes place moments after the assassins kidnap Athena and destroy their home for, again, some undecided reason 😭 i wanted to study Janey’s devotion towards a happy life, since i would also think of her having extreme attachment issues. she’s typically the optimistic character that sees the good through any situation, so i wanted to try to see how she would face against her everything being taken away from her again.

i also gave Janey a resentment of anything that resembles a kraggon, no matter how friendly☝🏼

—-—-—

i wish i had worked on this au so much more than what i shared. i was extremely passionate about it and i kinda still am!! even with how half-assed most of the lore is with blands, i still absolutely DEVOUR any little bit of canon Athena content available.

a COMPLETE story of Hyperion’s Rebirth is unfortunately unlikely now, especially with how it’s heavily implied to be. CANON now 😰😰. i would love to work on it again, but i just don’t really see a reason to 💔

tysmm for the ask again, i appreciate it a lot!! i rambled a bit too much but i wouldn’t mind talking much more about the little ideas i have ^_^ 💐

Oh yes. TF2 has a whole community made map call Selbyen that has players feeding a seal as it makes its way back into the ocean.

That and fan works I think you definitely enjoy.

Take all the time you need. Just a friendly suggestion and all.

Absolutely love all your work.

Random idea: Team Fortress 2 has seals so maybe Medic!Jaina and Sniper!Sylvanas on BLU and RED teams respectively.

These words mean a lot to me and they motivate me to draw. Thank you so much! I never thought there would be a seal in Team Fortress 2. Maybe I'll draw on it next time. (Don't expect too much, it might take a long time or it might not happen at all.)

“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”

Sun Tzu.

Prepare to fight. If we die, we die with honor. 

1: Sojourn's fate is very much an example of what happened to John Connor in Terminator Genisys, both as a means of survival for Anubis, how prefect Sojourn was for him (Being a heavily augmented cyborg.) and the horror she has become a heartless machine after all with the old person gone.

2: I am getting some Last of Us themes with Jack, Cole, and Sombra traveling across a abounded North America litter with rogue Omnics, leftovers from the war, and Anubis loyalists/an Anubis trapped in Old Canada. Cassidy loses his arm while Sombra gets dragged away.

Honestly the end of the world would give Mauga the same 'live in the moment' fun loving attitude even Jack and Cole can't understand, but learn to kinda live with it.

3: Gabe being brought back to life and still becoming Reaper...them ore things change the more they stay the same. I can see Jack and Gabe having drinks in a old bar that still got bottles, drinking to all their lost.

Jack: To Vincent.

Gabe: To my family.

Jack: To Ana Amari, Mina Liao, Reinhardt Wilhelm, and Torbjörn Lindholm. We barely knew them, but they was the best of them.

Gabe: Can't argue with that.

Jack: You think...if we had come together sooner...thinks would have been different?

Gabe: Morrison, I got pump full of lead in mankind's last stand in Nepal, and someone came back to life as...I don't know what the hell I am now. The Omnics are cloning people back to life, people we knew. I don't know what could have happened. How the hell you get back to the States anyhow?

Jack: Wasn't easy. The temple collapse on itself after...after what happened. Took forever to dig myself out, more to heal even with the SEP. Omnics were fighting each other for a while, finally found a boat and made it to Hawaii, and then a plane to the West Coast. By myself for a long time.

Gabe: If Naughton could see us now...

I also like the idea of Reaper having to be a peacemaker between Jack and Cassidy.

4: Like I said above, the more things charge, the more they stay the same, in your other posts, Fareeha's want to do good and bring justice to this New World. More so if she is actually Ana's daughter and not knowing about it. The same others still be driven by certain traits from Canon against both Anubis, as well as angry Martian Humans attacking.

No idea why I did this, but you might enjoy it and offer some insight on it. The Omnic Crisis ended with the Extinction of Humanity. Or Pyrrhic Victory in the Crisis.

I would also like to point out that Ramattra and maybe Zen would probably be the main ones trying to stop Anubis on the Omnic side of things, maybe even working with Macaria.

Anyway I also made a list on what I think the state of all the characters, so enjoy;

Azir probably even worshiped Janna back in his mortal days. If anything, he backed the Janna cult/Church of the Storm and Priestess Jinx for the short and long term. 

Jinx  going the route of becoming an Ascended/God Warrior is pretty insane to think about in of itself. An chaotic version of Thoth/Ptah would be awesome to see. 

On the large scale enemies aside from Xerath and Renekton, Noxus and the Void would be on the list.North Shurima is dominated by Noxus like Bel'zhun, Tereshni, and Urzeris.

The South meanwhile has a lot of nasty void stuff going on out of Icathia. and stuff like Sai Kahleek. Same for the Darkin from the Void War.

Piltover/Zaun may find itself between rock and hard place of the New Shuriman Empire and Noxus if you went that way.

Fucken wild idea (you can use it if you want, I'll probs never make a fic in my life, I cant write for shit)

Jinx has a mental breakdown while living with Silco at like age 14 (before Vi gets out of prison) and thinks she's going to jinx Silco and getting independence for Zaun and pulls a journey to the west (yes I have been rereading the jttw don't @ me) and goes on a pilgrimage to find enlightenment/ how tf not to be a Jinx to everyone around me, everyone thinks she's fucken dead coz this was entirely impromptu, including Ekko and Zeri (she's there). And Jinx just kinda travels the world meeting new people making enemies and friends along the way including one "special" Demacian *wink* *wink*. She ultimately makes her way to shurima (note Janna has been guiding her journey) and finds like this sunken temple that was dedicated to Janna full of forgotten ancient relics and scripture detailing Zaun and Jannas history. And Jinx is all like tf do I do? And Janna visits her in her dreams and is like, daughter of mine, rewrite our old scripture and traditions into modern zauns language and once you've done become my priestess and bring back our culture to Zaun. And jinx is like seems legit and does that for like 2 and a half years (she's like 18 after this) and makes her way back to Zaun

Meanwhile back at the twin city's, Caitlyn broke Vi out of prison to help with her investigation, Vi finds out from sevika that jinx is probs dead, and Ekko basically confirms it, shit happens Zaun gets it's independence, a year goes by and Jinx 5 years older one pilgrimage and religious awakening later has finally made it back home to Zaun and Silco, Silco of course is ecstatic to have his daughter back and wants to show off to Zaun and Piltover that the princess and heir of Zaun has finally returned, Jinx is like umm dad, Ive had like a religious awakening and such and went on a pilgrimage across the world and I brought back a bunch of scripture of Janna and the church of the storm and I'm basically a priestess now can we umm get Jannas old church back up and running? Silco of course agrees, anything for his little girl. A gala at Piltover rolls around and what's the best way to announce the return of the princess of Zaun then to upstage a piltoven event? So Jinx and slico and the other chembarons go to the gala and guess who's there, Caitlyn, Vi, Ekko and Zeri also Lux and a bunch of Jinx's friends from around the world (jinx has so many political connections it's scary)

You can kinda imagine what happens next, Vi , Ekko and Zeri freak the fuck out, Jinx/powder is alive what? Ekko and Zeri are like do we need to fight she works for Silco, but this is a gala and Jinx is clearly been invited judging by her dress. While Vi is all like at first HOLY SHIT POWDER IS ALIVE, WHAT THE FUCK IS SILCO DOING WITH HER, WHY THE FUCK IS HE WITH HER, GET TF AWAY FROM MY SISTER! Jinx is like Vi wtf ,don't make a scene and drags her off. Caitlyn is all the while awkwardly standing there not really know what to do but be kinda excited to know that vis innocent baby sister is alive, and is like new sister pog as well as the fact she seems to be very close to a Crownguard who has been basically been a bodyguard and shadowed her the entire evening which can only mean good things(Ekko never had the heart to tell Vi jinx worked for Slico, and Vi just talked about her little sis to Cait all the time and Cait has gotten attached to her even tho she's never met her)

Eh can't be bothered to keep going, it's like past 12 am for me and I need to do work tomorrow

Night clown

We Prince of Egypt AU now, love it (I know the movie is based on the bible, but I've never read it so Prince of Egypt AU it is). Jinx having a spiritual journey just like Moses did while wandering through a desert.

You could almost cut everything and just focus on Shurima adventures too, especially if you wanted to have Jinx interaction with the colourful Shurima champs (or actively try to ignore them while doing her translations only to have them constantly bug her). Jinx could still have traveled all over the place, but you could keep it to backstory or references just to keep the story focused, anything you'd want more detail in could just be side stories.

Like Jinx has holed up in an old catacomb or something and just is constantly interrupted. Nasus could stop in to teach her how to read ancient Shuriman (useful, Jinx likes), which then makes Renekton come bursting in to fight (even when Nasus isn't there and after the first couple times of Jinx actually fearing for her life she just kinda gets used to it and tells him Nasus isn't there much to Renekton's disappointment).

Sivir could show up initially thinking it was a new tomb to explore only to find Jinx, somehow they hit it off and Sivir starts bugging her to raid tombs together since Jinx is an explosives expert + her lessons with Nasus means she can read ancient Shuriman and knows a lot about old architecture.

That could then lead Azir (leaning on his interactions with Sivir from LoR) to showing up trying to use Jinx as a means of getting close with Sivir or even just learning what she's doing, because she wants nothing to do with him. He'd just call her Scribe or something like "Scribe, how was my great granddaughters day? Did she....mention me at all?" Have Azir go off on "For your usefulness to me over the years I shall consider you an honorary Shuriman when Shurima finally rises to its true splendor under my rule! Feel pride in earning such a status Scribe! Maybe even Royal Scribe may be in your future should such usefulness continue!" to which Jinx just goes "Yeah sure, cool."

Taliyah could be the one normal friend she actually likes to see because when she see's Jinx is busy she'll just come back another time while leaving a note. They can go sand surfing together and Taliyah would deliver Jinx's mail correspondence with the other people she met on her journey to keep in touch.

Not really sure about the other Shuriman champions. Would be funny if Jinx went "You know, I think you're my favourite of all the Shuriman weirdos I've met, you keep things simple y'know?" towards Rammus who just responds with "OK" While with Amumu it's "Y'know I get you, but I'm still not hugging you. Maintain our agreed upon distance."

The reason so many years pass before Jinx finally leaves is because of the constant interruptions, but through it she ascends (hehe) to a level of patients not previously thought possible. She gets so used to dealing with the constant interruptions from these Gods and other powerful beings she doesn't even blink and just accepts it.

Upon actually returning to Zaun would be kinda funny if people were more weirded out at how incredibly mellow Jinx is than the fact she's actually back.

At that Gala would be where she could interact with the others she met on her journey. Everyone could be weirded out at the Shuriman delegates just approaching Jinx going "Scribe, Emperor Azir wishes to seek your wisdom on a most important topic. He wishes to know if you have any knowledge as to what Lady Sivir's favourite food might be? Emperor Azir wishes to gift her such for his upcoming visit."

Idk, does sound like a fun idea that I might possible look into doing something for (adding it to the pile ;-;) since Shurima is a pretty neat place which also bleeds into my childhood love of Egypt (I wanted to be an Egyptologist as a kid :3).
