Ninjago as aroace Tumblr comments part 2
Would anyone be interested in a Ninjago fic featuring this trio before Morro makes an official return in Dragons Rising?
After Nya's sacrifice to save Ninjago, Lloyd quits being a ninja. That is until Misako discovers a legend of an ancient temple that used to power up the previous Water and Wind Masters.
Now Lloyd embarks on a journey to bring Nya back. There's just one problem. They're going to need the help of a certain spiteful ghost who isn't any happier about this than they are.
Since asexual is trending again can we please drop the whole "We're jUst fRieNds" nonsense and start saying: "We're actually friends".
You know, same thing except it doesn't imply friendship is less, just a different kind of relationship/love. I mean if someone confused your sibling for your lover you probably wouldn't say: "We're just siblings", you'd say: "We're actually siblings."
Like, come on, guys, it's really not that hard!
I don't know if this has been said before but I like how the heroes of each new generation of my favorite shows are just some random orange fangirl/boy of the old generation.
I just watched the first 6 episodes of Ninjago Dragons Rising Season 2 that came out in Germany (I learnt some German as a kid so I understood about half of what they were saying) and I'd like to give just one minor early spoiler.
You know how some of us have been complaining for years that for as much as Lloyd's been traumatized season after season, villain after villain, it doesn't really affect his personality or mental stability all that much? Like for the most part, Lloyd is pretty chill, reasonable, wise even, and that's great. I always liked that about him and watching him grow into this person over the last 10+ years has been nothing short of amazing. I'm seriously so proud of the little green dude, but sometimes I feel like the writers are afraid to really dive into the long lasting effects this kind of trauma would normally have on someone's mental health. Probably since it's a kids show and they think they can't handle this sort of thing, although some kids face some pretty traumatic experiences in real life which really should be acknowledged more.
Anyway, they finally did it, THEY GAVE MY BOY ANXIETY!!! 🥳🎉
Like actual panic attacks, he even calls them that! They usually don't last very long and he can snap out of them relatively quickly, but they are handled pretty well and well integrated into the story.
Also, Nya is Lloyd's emotional support (yay Dragon Siblings), like she's been since Hunted or Sons of Garmadon actually. She's the one Lloyd opens up to the most and she's the first to notice whenever something bothers him.
It can be as subtle as a glance, a smile or a touch on the shoulder, but Nya always knows how to comfort Lloyd, and this just makes me so happy
Anyway, this season's been great so far and I can't wait for the rest of the episodes to come out. Sorry for ranting
RGB siblings as ponies who share the same voice actor
I know Vincent Tong's got plenty of others, but Sandbar is by far my favorite, although he low-key reminds me of Lloyd 🤔
Also, someone should totally make Lloyd into the I didn't listen meme
Something like this:
Nya: Just be careful, Lloyd!
Lloyd: *heading for the door* I'm always careful, Nya.
Lloyd: It's everything around me that's careless.
Dashi, reading a recipe: Beat three eggs?
Guan: It means like in hand-to-hand combat.
Dashi: Ohhhh-
Chase: Both of you get out of this kitchen.
Dashi: Guan, we've been over this. You can't just punch a civilian!
Guan: But he called Chase's hair girly! I had to defend his honor!
Dashi: What? Guan, you call Chase's hair girly at least twice before breakfast.
Guan: That doesn't count! I'm his friend, he doesn't care what I say.
Dashi: Chase doesn't care what anyone says!
Guan: Well, I do!
Chase: Guys, look, I bought a new comb.
Guan: Tsk, you're such a girl.
Chase: Okay. Dashi, I was thinking you could turn it into a Shen Gong Wu!
Guan: You want to weaponize a hair accessory?
Chase: Why not?
