Jinx Kiramman the amazing mage chaser.
 
I have to say, with so many people loving Seraphine and declaring her the quest MVP, I am certainly surprised that Boombox is losing to Lightcannon.

Seraphine hasn't had lovely dovey moments with Jinx for a few weeks in comparison to her reunion with lux just last update, and a couple people are voting just to mess with Gared by going for the kiss too I imagine. Ultimately it feels like the thread just wants drama and romance and is using "Jinx is impulsive" as an excuse to indulge while ignoring all the ways this will go screwy in the arcs to come.

If they're looking for drama and romance, then by definition they're not ignoring the ways it can go screwy. They're looking forward to it.

Now hear me out. I don't think people have considered one of the hilarious possible fail states of this:

Jinx fumbles both girls and Seraphine and Lux start dating instead :V

Seraphine deserves her shot.
And I kinda want to see Lux with her metaphorical hair down.

Don't wanna dig back for my post with my vote for the mageseekers, but I like this option because it makes it clear that Jinx is aware and interested, but is properly conflicted, stuck thinking on what she actually wants and is also trying to resolve the situation so that she can sit down and have a 'healthy' discussion about it.

Honestly I just want to see chaos.

Probably doesn't help that Jinx really hasn't talked to Lux about this stuff, but it would be nice to get Garen's blessing.

As funny as the write-in is, Demacia is the kind of country where there's a 50% chance Garen will stab us right there for suggesting a polycule involving his sister.

Been reading for a little while but haven't voted until now... Really not happy with the idea of kicking Seraphine to the curb.* I mean... Imagine your friend, for whom you possibly have feelings, goes on a dangerous rescue mission abroad. You offer to go with them to help but they tell you no and leave you behind, supposedly for your own safety. They then return and announce that they're in a relationship with the person they went to rescue. That cannot feel anything other than awful. Even if people are looking for an exclusive Lux/Jinx relationship, that should mean being honest with Seraphine and letting her down in person, not running away and treating her as an afterthought.

*And, just for clarity: I'm even less happy with the idea of courting Lux with the implicit goal of dating Seraphine too. That effectively entraps Lux in a polyamorous relationship without talking about it with anyone involved first.

I don't think that the write-in sounds like that to someone for whom monogamy is culturally expected - more like 'I have romantic feelings for two people and need to work out which of them I am committing to, and cannot do that now, on the spot'. Sure, it's quite blunt and a little rakish, but a) Garen's being similarly blunt and b) it's also quite mature in its own way? (Of course, Jinx may be thinking about a romantic relationship with both at once, not just committing to one, but, well... Garen doesn't need to know that. Yet.)

As the guy who made the write-in, initially as a joke, that's an intentional reading of it. I kinda assume that as much as Jinx is afraid of being "abandoned" by the people she loves dying, having them choose to abandon her, especially because she tried to love them too much, is mortifying to think about. Gotta figure things out. And if this answer also makes "figuring this out" Future Jinx's problem, all the better!

That was, tbh, my initial read on the 'joke' option as well - at least after I got past wondering how that would sound from the outside, which gave me a fit of the giggles. Hopefully QM reads this and/or figured the same kind of deal as you and Nimbus have directly stated already.
