Ok, this is from a youtube channel where artists draw dumb things, but-

What if Jace got a skull tattoo while he was dating Liliana?

Like... that’s actually kind of sweet....

Well I think it's time to let my Jaciana ship sink...

Please tell me I didn't forget any detail xD I didn't do the speedpaint yet but I will finish it in these days. Finish!!! I saw a lot of people liked my Jaciana chibi draw in pencil so I digitalized it!! Weee \:D/ If more people keep liking my driaws in pencil I will start to digitalize them. Is not really good and I keep trying this style and I have to get better. It tooks me hours to finish but Im happy, I think it doesn't look so bad. Tagging people: @mtglife @jarrtet @chelsea-beleren-vess if somwbody else want me to tagg you please tell me.

Wip of my first Liliana fanart! I will do a similiar piece for jace too!

so can we stop pretending jace/liliana is a healthy ship or what now with the uncharted realms about jace feeling uncomfortable and afraid after hallucinating lili

@chelsea-beleren-vess there is so much Jaciana in today’s story that I don’t even know how to start. Like, wow!

Redrawing art I made for Ravnicademy's five-year anniversary, for the tenth anniversary part 1: Liliana and Jace, the primary romantic couple of the series. In retrospect, I glazed over the whole "she's hundreds of years old and he is an honest-to-goodness high schooler" thing real quick in the story, but fuck, if Twilight can get away with it so can I!

I am lost here...

why people still doubts that Liliana and jace have a secret ( not that secret) affair? Its pretty clear

  also it is clear NIssa is vegan

Literally if you ship Jaciana you do not deserve rights

Tonight in the MtG fandom

We argue about colors and make up political parties!

Infernal Contract

A/N: My husband is studying to be an accountant, and he, uh, expounded on some things today that turned into a minific. As per usual for my stories, I recommend not reading if you ship Jaciana or dislike Liliana being portrayed in a not-terribly-sympathetic light.

Rating: T

Summary:   Liliana really should have read the fine print. Jace makes it a point to explain why.

If you enjoy my stories, please consider buying me a coffee :)

         The galley of the Weatherlight was crowded and noisy. Gideon watched Jace, who was practically inhaling a portion of soup, drooping slightly, and looking generally exhausted. He had appeared several feet above the deck a few hours ago, told them, “Sorry, amnesia issues again,” and promptly gone to sleep. Now he had tottered down and asked for food, promising Gideon he would give a more complete description when he was feeling a little better. Curious and concerned though he was, Gideon knew there was no point in trying to hurry him. Whatever had happened, Jace looked simultaneously better than Gideon had ever seen him—a new intensity, a new spring in his step—and also more exhausted and wrecked.

           “I cannot wait to kill that demon,” the two of them heard, rising over the crowd. Liliana’s voice. Jace winced slightly—one thing he had made extremely clear was that he did not want to deal with Liliana at all, and Gideon was not inclined to force him. Whether or not the enchantress might be trying to make up for past misdeeds had nothing to do with whether anyone who had been previously hurt by her needed to have anything to do with her whatsoever, and the hints about her involvement with Jace had been particularly—discomforting. So Gideon was sitting with Jace, and Liliana and Chandra were on the other side of the room. “I just cannot wait,” Liliana’s voice said clearly, “to call my soul my own again. Once I get rid of this lease—”

           Gideon nearly wound his neck backwards with the suddenness of his turn; next to him, Jace’s head had snapped to the side as well. “Lease?” both of them said. Gideon got up. Jace made an explosive noise and then followed.

           “You leased your soul?” Jace demanded without preamble as they fetched up at the other table.

           Liliana blinked up at him. “Um,” she said, clearly taken aback. “You knew that.”

           “No, no, no.” Jace shook his head. “No, you told me you sold your soul.”

           She stared, clearly uncomprehending. “Leased, sold, what’s the difference?”

           “Oh, you have got to be fucking kidding me!” Jace threw his hands into the air and stalked out of the room.

           Gideon, also perturbed, but at least a little calmer, leaned over her. “Liliana,” he said. “This is very important. Did you sell your soul, or did you lease it?”

           “I don’t understand,” she murmured, but she could apparently tell from his tone of voice that he was deadly serious. “I…believe the contract said ‘lease’, although I could check.”

           Putting one hand over his face, Gideon took a long, deep breath, but before he could figure out where to begin, Jace breezed back into the room, holding an extremely thick volume he must have gotten out of the ship’s library, which he slammed down onto the table so hard that Chandra, Liliana, and Gideon all jumped. He flipped it open and shoved it under Liliana’s nose. “This is the definition of a capital lease,” he said. “A capital lease is a lease in which the lessor only finances the leased asset, and all other rights of ownership transfer to the lessee. This results in the recordation of the asset as the lessee's property in its general ledger, as a fixed asset.”

           “Are you trying to tell me something, because whatever it is, I don’t understand it,” Liliana said crossly.

           “Jace—” Gideon tried, but Jace held up a finger and shook his head.

           “I shouldn’t even be surprised,” he sighed. “Liliana. Let’s say I’m a demon. I want a soul. The soul is an asset that I acquire from you.”  

           “Yes! I know! I want it back!”

           “No,” Jace said. “You really don’t. Because you still own your soul. That’s what a lease means. I acquire the asset from you—it goes into my books—but you are still the owner. You are the lessor, and I am the lessee.”

           “So you get ownership, it says so right there!”

           “If I keep paying you. Good god, Liliana, have you never heard someone say ‘I can’t believe he’s dead, he owed me money’?”

           She opened her mouth and then closed it again. “Ah—well—that is—”

           “There is a reason people generally do not want to kill their debtors. You leased your soul. The demons keep it as long as they keep paying you for it with your youth. If they are dead—I’d like you to pay very close attention to this, because it is apparently difficult for you—if they’re dead, they can’t pay you anymore.”

           Gideon winced slightly at the dawning horror on Liliana’s face. “You—you mean—”

           “Yes, to everyone’s utter astonishment, the demons weren’t expecting you to kill them because it doesn’t help you at all. It just means they’ll be forced to default on the contract because you can’t fulfill a payment on a contract when you’re dead.”

           “Gideon—” Liliana turned to him, wringing her hands, face pale, and he was forced to nod.

           “Standard contract magic,” he said. “The hieromancy is, um. Relatively straightforward.”

           “Oh,” Liliana said.

           “Yeah,” Jace agreed.

           She rallied slightly. “But—but I thought that I gave them my soul, and they gave me…youth.”

           Jace shrugged. “Not if it’s a lease,” he said. “And maybe this is just what I should have expected. You never did have a very good grasp on taking care of assets, did you?”

           Liliana’s hands were white-knuckled as she stared at the table. “What am I going to do?” she asked quietly.

           “That,” Jace said, with uncharacteristic viciousness, “is really not my problem anymore.” Trembling slightly, he turned and stalked away from the table, shaking his head and muttering under his breath.

           Gideon took another deep breath. “All right,” he said steadily. “Change of plans.”

           “Can you help?” Liliana burst out, hands twisting and twisting around one another. “Can you—you’re a hieromancer—I-I don’t—I don’t want to die, Gideon.”

           “You’re going to need someone with a lot more skill than I have,” Gideon told her. “It’s not going to be easy—not without Jace’s help—” and he wasn’t going to ask Jace for help, there was definitely too much pain there, “—but there is someone I know who might have—an angle.”

           Liliana looked up, hoping dawning in her eyes. “Who?”

           “An expert contract negotiator. Teysa Karlov.”

The Jaciana v Vraskelen Discourse

The origin point for this discussion is --> here <--

The big question people have had- the big discourse. Jace//Liliana? Or Jace//Vrazka?

Let’s crack open that can of worms, shall we?

This discourse is closely tied to the Ixalan story line. And the number one comment I have heard from everyone I have spoken to regarding the Magic Story, is that Ixalan felt like a canonized Vrazka/Jace Ship-Fic. I’m not inclined to agree with them, as I trust Magic’s story team. They’re not perfect, but they do a great job. Some suspect, however, that the story team listens to the fan base and adjusts to their desires. Once more, I’m not inclined to agree. Long ago they thought up the whole story. I believe they’ve already announced that they storyboarded the whole thing a while ago. It is my sincere hope that they don’t adjust anything to fit the impulsive desires of the social media world. I respect them too much and I think it’s just not a good idea that they listen to the community, who, collectively, don’t have enough long term foresight and objective insight to attempt to construct the story. Maybe the story team knows better than I do what works and what doesn’t. But that’s my two cents.

However, it is inevitable that this discourse include Vrazka’s development on Ixalan. One criticism I’ve seen is the idea that Vrazka is retextured Liliana. On that note, I disagree because Liliana has no equal there can be no comparisons they are inherently different in their self-perspective. Yes, both them will lie, cheat, steal, and kill to get reach their objectives. But the difference is that Liliana knows what she’s doing to complete her objectives is cruel. It annoys her, but she does it anyways. Whereas Vrazka doesn’t see that her actions aren’t cruel. She sees them as justified and forgivable- perfectly in line with Black-Green philosophy. “Survival of the fittest” and “the end justifies the means”.

But beyond their own perspective of their own actions, they have a lot in common. Which means Jace has a type. But Jace’s development as a person is closely tied to his experience with Liliana. At last, his experience on Ixalan has helped him grow in a way without her. And now that he’s grown, he’s starting to see what his relationship with Liliana did to him. 

While it may seem like the story team is trying to undermine Liliana right now, I don’t agree. I think that Jace’s growth inherently had to reveal who she was. So it’s not that it’s an intentional sabotage, it’s that to show him off, they had to show her off. HOWEVER... It does feel unfair that she’s getting this treatment. Why? Because Kaladesh and Amonkhet were enormous bursts of growth for her. Kaladesh was just... mind boggling growth from who she was. And all of that is being ignored and brushed aside to show off the person she used to be. It’s my sincere hope that the story team helps us understand just how much she’s grown since then on Dominaria. If they don’t, I’ll be heartbroken and disappointed.

Ixalan’s development of Jace was STILL didn’t make me like him. I didn’t like him before and I still don’t like him now. He’s a fine character, but I just don’t like him. But that doesn’t mean I can‘t wish the best for him. And right now, given current information, Liliana isn’t what’s best for him. Bottom line. But that’s current information. Given that Dominaria happens concurrently with Ixalan, it’s possible that this new Jace is a perfect pair with Liliana, now. 

Here’s the thing. Brushing off their relationship and chemistry is easy. Pairing them up with other people is easy. But to bring them back together is going to take a lot of effort, a lot of character development. Personally, I’d rather see the story team build them both us and teach them both to forgive and apologize and accept and grow together than to just drop the subject and start over. They’ve got the right to do that. But I think it’d make better storytelling to make that change of heart happen.

I’m tagging the people who have most been involved in this conversation near my social circles recently, to hear their contributions.
