Lightcannon

Lightcannon is the femslash ship between Luxanna Crownguard and Jinx from the League of Legends fandom.

Canon
Canonically in the Runeterra universe, both of them have not met, since they are from different nations (Lux is from Demacia and Jinx from Zaun). However, Lightcannon started in the Star Guardians skins alternative universe. Both of them are in the same team called the Star Guardians. They fight against everything that wants to harm the universe. Lux is the Leader and Jinx is the Rebel. Both of those Roles tend to have a deep connection.

Lux and Jinx in that universe are childhood friends, and Jinx is noticiably very protective of her friend - she asks Ezreal if he has any romantic intentions with Lux every chance she has, getting jealous of her attention on him. Lux has nightmares constantly, and in one of those nightmares, she sees Jinx dying. She wakes up immedietly during class, afraid of what happened.

However, when she sees Jinx’s table as empty, she is worried again. This happened after they fought in one of their battles. Jinx betrayed or left the team once and Lux was in a terrible mental condition after their fight, but when Jinx came back to help the team fight against the all mighty Baron of the Rift, they grew closer to each other. Jinx is a troubled teenager and Lux is basically the only friend who does not give up on believing in her. Lux worries Jinx is at risk of leaving and falling into darkness. Despite this, both of them value their friendship above everything else.

Fanon
Lightcannon is a decently popular ship that gained a good amount of attention when the Stars Guardians skins got released and when both of them appeared together in the Wild Rift ad. While this ship is often seen as a crack outside of the SG universe, it also gained some popularity after the release of the Arcane, when due to the re-increased popularity of Jinx and Cait x Vi shipping, some people tried to find similar ships for her as well.

Many fans of this pairing point out their similarities in the canon universe, like how both characters have a complicated relationship with their older siblings (and in contrast to Jinx, Lux looks put together to this fact, but she feels constrained in reality) and how Jinx can free Lux, a repressed girl, to get her wild side, like in the wild rift ad. Another thing that garnered this ship’s interest is mostly their contrasting-esque, Jinx being from Zaun (undercity) and Lux being from Demacia, with a high social status compared to Jinx, and also their personalities being completely different.

Since Jinx does not have any very prominent love interest, this ship’s main rival is EzLux, especially since Start Guardians skins brought him up as her potential love interest again after the ship was left completely one-sided on Lux side in the original universe.
