Zoe is NOT Evil

Let the meme end here;

"Myisha is not Zoe. Zoe is just the latest body to contain the Aspect of Twilight, Myisha was an earlier incarnation, bringing her own mortal foibles to the mix. The playful part of the aspect is still there, but it's filtered through Myisha's sensibilities into something darker and less childlike than Zoe." -- https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/8una0m/were_the_team_that_updated_aatrox_ask_us_anything/e1guav0/?context=3

Although I have to admit Riot seems completely incapable of keeping their narrative department on the same page. So who knows what is true and what is Rioters just guessing...

I mean, no, she isn't, she's not good either, she's pretty much just pure "whatever the Aspect wants".

Twilight is a trickster god, it does whatever seems like it'll stir up the most fun. She's not evil in the sense that she's conspiring to hurt people, or good in the sense that she's trying to help others, if either of those things occur it's at most a convenient side-effect.

I'm pretty sure Zoe throws a meteor on some guards that were trying to defend their home. Killing them and bouncing away without a seconds thought like a sociopath in her only lore story. Apparently, thinking that is effective as a means of saying "Hey there's a World Rune down there, maybe be careful about that."

Even if Myisha isn't Zoe, Zoe being a freaking psycho isn't new to Twilight of the Gods.

I'd say she's more of a whimsical sociopath... she doesn't really understand the concept of "evil".... which is fine because evil is a matter of perspective anyways.

I'm just saying, if she was a real thing, I'd want her strapped with a ton of C-4 and blown the fuck up before did some short-sighted reckless shit that accidentally killed a few thousand people or something.

People called Zoe evil before the Myisha thing. If it sits, it fits.

Maybe the aspects themselves are evil, I`m sure zoe and pantheon have caused many outbursts and furious rampages since their releases.

Reddit lore.

Timelines are out. Zoe left earth for 'millennia' (doesn't mention if this is 1000 or many more millenia), it's in her bio, she returned and met Aurelion Sol. Sol had been controlled by the Targonian's for a long time. Sol 'fought targons wars' for millennia as well, so he's been in control by Targon for longer than since Shurima fell, it's been a millennia since then. Riot love their millennias.

So... the Aspect of Twilight had 2 forms?

Firstly, evil is subjective. In the eyes of the many humans crushed underfoot of the pointlessly bickering Ascended, the Aspect of Twilight who along with the Aspect of War helped them kill and trap these gigantic monsters is a hero

To the surviving Darkin and any who sympathize with them, the Aspect of Twilight is the ultimate evil. Death would be preferable to an eternity devoid of all senses.

That said, Zoe likely has those memories and due to the Aspect feels it was perfectly fine. Aatrox recognizes that she is the Aspect of Twilight, just as she would recognize the bleeding, burning monstrosity that is his new form as the Ascended he once was-- or just from him shouting, "I AM AATROX."

There's no objectivity to be had here. However, if I were in a situation wherein someone decided to make me a blind, deaf, mute, quadriplegic with no sense of touch instead of just killing me and then somehow regained all of my senses, you can bet your ass I'd kill them.

I mean when you recall Targon as the second to have ascended type warriors, you would recall them as the evil when shurima tried to destroy icathia before the icathians opens the void. Adding on the fact that Targon wants to stop the void for an odd reason, even though they stoped the beings that could kill the void. Targon is like the hidden enemy that wants to take control

And now I'm even more confused....

From her Lore it says:

"[...] Zoe was a normal girl, seemingly chosen at random. Her Lunari teachers reported Zoe to be an imaginative child, but willful, lazy, easily distracted, and mischievous. One day, as she skipped away from her studies of the holy magics to pursue something “less boring,” she was noticed by the Targonian Aspect of Twilight. It observed as the young girl playfully mocked the angry cries of the Lunari priests chasing her."

Do we assume that Runeterra Lunari and Solari lived peacefully after the Darkin wars (even long enough for the Aspect of Twilight to need a new host)?

Then this drags really forward in time the disaster that had them revolt one against the other. This brings a lot more confusion about the general timeline.
