So theres this theory circulating that Cole is red-green colorblind, right? Due to that one joke in MotM where he mistook the Skull of Hazadur as glowing red instead of green. And ive also seen a lot of people speculate that it came as a result of the green scar over his eye that was left behind when he passed through the Rift of Return. So basically the theory goes that from season 7 onward, Cole cant distinguish reds and greens. Which is funny, when you consider that he has a red teammate and a green teammate.

And Crystalized suggests that the ninja color-code themselves in part bc they cant tell each other apart otherwise, so Cole perceiving Kai and Lloyd's gis as the same color presents four different possibilities:

Cole is the only person on the team capable of telling who's who without relying on the color of their gi, and is disappointed by everyone else's incompetence

Cole straight up hasnt noticed. He just thinks Lloyd decided to copy Kai and dress like him as younger brothers are prone to do. A bit inconvenient in combat but hey, he can learn to work with this

Once the team discovered his colorblindness, Kai and Lloyd did their best to make their gis noticeably distinct so Cole wouldn't get confused. Then everyone else caught on and liked the idea of personalized gi styles and decided to follow suit, which is why everyone's gis begin to look less uniform and identical later in the series as opposed to, like, their team look in seasons 4-6

Cole can't actually tell Kai and Lloyd apart but is just really, really good at guessing.

the ninjas to each other in the later seasons: "i love you guys so much, we're in this together!!! i'll always be here for you <3"

the ninjas to each other in the early seasons: "shut up, you are SO ugly. i hate you. i will punch you straight into the departed realm, you stupid dumb moron idiot. fuck you."

This is an old drawing (not that old I drew it in December)

Enjoy little Cole in his royal blacksmith outfit. He’s looking up at Lou

that line in s1 ep9 where cole says "hence my father thought a 7-year old could" just stuck with me

i wanna draw little cole about to go on stage, nervous, wearing his royal blacksmith outfit

i wanna see lilly comfort him after he fell

i wanna see lou walk away from the audience after he had tried doing the triple tiger sashay, cole seeing and getting sad, but it's ok bc he just went up to go comfort cole after he had gotten off the stage

i wanna see little cole's quartet

Body type study of elemental ninjas

every time Jay swears someone really sassily says "I thought swearing was a sign of weak verbal skills" unless it's Kai who really mockingly goes "swEAriNG iS A SigN Of WeAK veRBaL skiLLs" because Kai definitely swears the most out of everyone on the team except maybe Nya

Headcanon that Jay was given a really fancy name by his birth mom and Ed and Edna just went with it, but it just did NOT suit him and they were always trying to think of nicknames but none of them stuck, and they were so relieved when he came out as trans and changed his name that they didn't even care that he named himself after a minor crime.

Mira's Child

I've been trying to come up with a name for years help i just started using this name recently I've been working on this story for at least 8 years, since I first started playing AJ. And it didn't even have a plot back then? It was just "emo wolf has powers his older brother hates him and he also has powers so emo wolf is abandoned and now lives with phantoms ALSO HE'S THE SON OF GREELY BC GREELY IS EVERYTHING"

Anyways, here's the new version: Zios is bad here btw. Sorry! Anyways, Mira is trapped in this magic river. By, you guessed it, Zios! They basically fought over the land and Zios trapped her in the river so he could have it. Other then that, they have no connection. They were just two beings fighting over Jamaa. Zios, being lonely, brings the animals, who were living in different areas dedicated to their species, and welcomes them to Jamaa. Mira, slowly dying, wants to pass on her powers to someone. Welcome Void, a young pitch black wolf who accidently stumbles upon the river. She teaches him her powers and how to use it incase of an emergency. Sharing her powers with him, she and him become friends. Then the war between the animals happen and Void is called to battle for the wolves. Mira wishes him luck. The war is almost over, with only a few species left standing. The rabbits, the monkeys, and the wolves. And then, Void is slaughtered brutely. Part of Mira's powers die with him and she is weakened further, also saddened by her friend's death. A few more years pass and more jammers are picked. A rabbit, a panda, anyone who happens to find the river. But Mira doesn't trust any of them as she realizes they would be consumed by power and would have ill intensions. And then the battle between the Phantoms and Jamaa happens, a few of the animal species reuniting. They fight over the land and Zios picks 6 animals, the Alphas, to help fight. A wolf named Greely is one of these chosen animals. Meanwhile, his sister, Minnie, is jealous and practices her fighting alone in the forest, accidently finding the river and Mira. Mira sees good in her and tries again to pass on her power. Minnie, however, is too weak to control the power and causes more harm then good. She feels awful and apologizes to Mira before letting Mira take her power back and Minnie runs away. And no one is picked as the next 'Mira's Child' again for a few years. Until Greely has kids. Two twins, Dash and Dare, a daughter named DJ, and his youngest, Junior. Having powers is rare and usually only descendents of power-wielding jammers have power. Dash and Junior have powers but Junior's is more powerful and Dash gets jealous. This leds to him bullying his youngest brother. One day, the siblings are playing in the woods and Junior finds the river. Mira's glad to see him and tries to make him come closer but Junior is hesitant. He goes closer and soon is able to connect to Mira. She tells him how she needs her help but him being just a pup, is confused at first. So she tells him to come back so she can explain more later. And he does the next day. And the day after that. And the day after that. But she doesn't give him her power yet.

As time passes, the Phantoms attack their hometown. Dash hides Junior somewhere, telling him he'd be safe but only for him to abandon Junior while he escapes, their mother desperate to find her son but failing. And like that, Junior is taken by the Phantoms. In this AU, the phantoms aren't that bad. They kinda are but kinda aren't. Anyways, feeling bad for Junior, they welcome him. And he now lives with them. That's basically the beginning of the story for now. I'ma end it here for now. Uh, hope that was somewhat understandable.
