OUch

Why would I write when I could imagine my characters going through the story and then get upset when a copy of the work doesn’t magically appear in front of me

I don't know man, I just reblog things and leave comments in hopes that maybe if I do it enough I'll find a friend eventually 🎉

How do you make friends on tumblr?

I've got Jay brain now!!!!!!! I've spent so many hours using his voice in my head that my thoughts are in his voice now. lmao

me when I decided to rewatch and finish ninjago after 10 years

Sending out the love to all my fellow donut-house-builders.

Dude, I'm literally catching up on Dragon's Rising right here right now because of this

It's so funny how uniting Monstrosity is for both the entire fanbase and seemingly all sorts of members of the Ninjago crew??? Both the Hagemans and Tommy have tweeted positively towards this trailer, and rn there's a post on Twitter with almost 10 thousand likes??? Bro is Monstrosity gonna be the next big Thing for Ninjago or something???

Good morning ninblr. It's 12 am on a school night and I wrote a petition half-asleep about why we should get ninjago netflix pfps. spread this around please im so fed up with not having ninjago pfps and i had to rewrite this 2 times

I just found this and now I'm going into my microwave

I guess I’m calling this the Lightningbot AU now???

Basics:

- Ed and Edna wanted a child, and having access to all the scrap in the junkyard, made one of their own! They never told him what he was, because they didn’t want him to feel different.

- Jay booted up for the first time without a power source being added at all. His element powers him on its own. This baffled his parents at first, but they just went with it.

- Contact with vengestone causes Jay to shut down if he touches it, which the ninja chalk up to him passing out. The second vengestone is no longer in contact with his body, he reboots. Before he knows he’s a robot, he refers to this as a “freak vengestone allergy”.

- Jay finds out that he’s an android during Hunted, where a rough landing from the portal severely damages his body. The group struggles to repair him with their limited resources. A scrap of foil isn’t gonna fix your face, sorry Jay.

- Over the course of Hunted, he acts largely the same as he does in the original, and treats his robot body’s reveal as something funny and insists everyone just “go with the flow” and not worry about it. Meanwhile the others are OBVIOUSLY concerned, and wonder if the crash is making him malfunction. At some point he snaps out of it and it hits him all at once and he freaks out for real.

- Pixal knew the whole time, literally since S3, and never mentioned it because she assumed they all knew already. Queue Jay having flashbacks to all the little hints she dropped in previous seasons (ie: implying he may need “repairs” or a “tune-up” after a fight, which Jay would shrug off as her simply wording her concern awkwardly).

- When they make it back home, they cannot figure out how to recreate the artificial flesh on his body, and he goes home to the junkyard for repairs and confronts Ed and Edna.

- The “junkyard boy” insult hits him much harder after he finds out, and is extremely self-conscious about the fact he was literally built out of trash.

- He returns to the lighthouse out of guilt and brings Echo back home with him. They bond over being made out of actual garbage.

- His head is a plasma globe filled with a mess of electrical impulses that make up his brain. When people touch it, it acts like a plasma globe, and makes Jay feel odd things (tickling sensations, lavender smell, the taste of kale).

- Once he’s aware he’s an android, he can learn to “possess” other electronics with his element/soul. His mastery over electricity gives him an instinctual understanding of electronics and how they function, which has unknowingly contributed to his love of inventing.

- Much to everyone’s dismay, being a robot opens up a whole new world of puns and terrible jokes for Jay to abuse.

this is kind of giving Desert Kings for me

Ninjago + Edgerunners?? Those are mostly screenshot redraws.

For this specific au kai is much older than Nya, her being 17 and kai being 26.

Speaking from a completely meta perspective. Of course the ninjas are white, if it wasn’t for the fact that they were Lego characters they would’ve all been white with the exception of Wu.

But it’s because of the very ambiguous art style that Lego characters have that people have been able to create their own interpretations of how the cast of characters look. It’s honestly kinda cool to see how different people view their favourite characters. Some people interpret a character to look like themselves, others just have head cannons about how they think a character should look based on other factors. Sky is the limit with these little Lego ninja and there’s no wrong answer when deciding what they would look like.

Whether or not this new live action movie makes the entire cast white, or if they try to mix it up a bit with a more diverse cast it will always feel wrong. The true reason why a live action Ninjago movie won’t work is because it limits the way the audience can see these characters, by giving them a supposed “real” look it makes them feel less relatable with the audience.

K, does something stupid

J: "You're lucky I don't want to kill you..BECAUSE I WANT TO KILL YOU"

K, while jumping into action: "Yeah? Get in line!"

J: "I'M AT THE FRONT OF THE LINE"
