Do you have any other thoughts about the Cole haunting the monastry au or plans for it? It’s super cool!
yes, actually! these are some random thoughts that I've had for it
Cole didn't know that he was the elemental master of earth when Wu first took him in. it took all the way up until this au's version of DotD before he realised.
he gains his true potential in s13
when Lou finds out Cole's alive, he is happy, but he also knows that he wasn't the best parent, which is why he lets Cole stay with the ninja
the timeline for this is a bit messed up, but it probably goes something like: Cole is 7 when Wu adopts him -> he's 8 when he dies and haunts the monastery -> chronologically 14 when the rest of the ninja arrive -> chronologically 15 during s5 and when he goes through the rift
Cole was really bitter and angry towards Wu in the beginning. he thought that Wu didn't care for him, which is why he ran away and got killed.
in the alternate version of this where he ends up in the cursed realm with Morro, he doesn't care about Wu at all. he's found a new family in Morro and the other cursed spirits, so why should he care about someone who didn't care about him? Wu did care. he was just bad at showing it, and Cole does care. just a tiny bit. enough to ask why Wu didn't look for him
this isn't a fun tidbit about this au or anything but I actually came up with this before I got into DC yet there are a scary amount of similarities
alternate version Cole did know that he was an elemental master. Morro told him in the cursed realm and helped train him
the main au version of Cole inconvenienced Wu multiple times by knocking over his tea or letting his papers fly everywhere because he was 8 and also very petty
Ninjago textposts because. Yeah.

Do you have any other thoughts on your Cole who trained under Yang? I’m super interested in him!
hi!! ah that is a good question, I honestly do need to think about his AU more lol. heres some thoughts I have floating around
-he ran away from the boarding school just barely after getting there. He was a lot sloppier than in canon too, so Lou did get called to say he was gone. He's a missing child.
-he doesn't age! after he became a ghost (which, fun fact was not on purpose on Yang's side) he's stayed the same age <- which is 14 years old.
-he isn't bound to the temple.
-he's good at martial arts and airjitzu but his control over his element is very shaky. It's not something Yang ever focused on.
-He meets the ninja during possession, gets them the scroll, and joins their fight (against Yang's wishes) but doesn't join their team (yet)
back with my bullshit. Aka the Silent Ghost! Cole Au, in which he is forgotten the moment he turns into a ghost.
lol guess why he is silent.
Tournament of Elements, but Kai gets really carried away. It's definitely one of my favourite seasons 👀
OOOO OP DROP RICK AND MORTY OCS
OH BOY HERE WE GO.
so, I made these cute ref sheets in the shows style yesterday (and today), apologies if you cant decipher my scribbly handwriting, ill summarize below:
Rick (nicknamed on the citadel "Seven")
Rick's home dimension is M-121.5 but you could hardly call it a home. He left his Diane and Beth behind shortly after acquiring portal technology from Prime or one of his subordinate Ricks, wandering off to absorb himself in the vastness of infinity.
His original dimension never ended up birthing a Morty, since his Beth and Jerry had trouble supporting themselves and had Summer as their only child.
Rick, eventually growing lonely but refusing to admit it, joins the citadel in an effort to be useful and climb the ranks there with the hopes of living a fulfilling life in a safe, Rick-made bubble. He gets assigned a Morty as standard, but said Morty dies in combat on a riot not too shortly after.
Rick gets a (small) punishment, one you'd get for breaking a doorknob or forgetting to turn off the lights in the building before you leave; getting a Morty killed. He probably just has to scrub toilets for a week or something.
He gets his new Morty and resumes work on the teleportation deck as normal and lives with his Morty in a small apartment, until S301 where they manage to flee the citadel together.
Morty ("unlucky charm" / other similar insults behind his back)
Has forgotten his original dimensional code due to constant changes of ownership. Only the Morty databanks know it now. He took M-121.5's dimension as his and carries a small wristband with the code written on it.
This Morty has gone through a LOT of Ricks. Six in fact, which is why his new Rick is mockingly called "Seven" by others on the citadel, making fun of him for ending up with such a shitty excuse of a Morty. Asking him if he'd lost a bet.
Morty's left arm has been surgically altered to fit a tracker interface that'll show Rick's current position and vitals to Morty. Though he only gets this later, after they flee the citadel.
The jacket he is wearing was originally merchandise stolen from a small shop he worked in while living on the citadel. They later add patches to it in an effort to cover up the citadel logo, since Morty doesn't want to give up the jacket, and Rick is paranoid about association with the citadel after they've fled. Pretty rich coming from the guy still wearing his uniform under a stinky coat, but what can you do when those are the only clothes you've got.
They go through an intense period of struggling for survival, with the Federation collapse and chaos left behind, the two of them retreat to more desolate spots of the universe to wait for the dust to settle. After a bit of "holy shit we lived" euphoria, they fight a lot, with Rick slowly noticing the many flaws in this Morty he is now -- in his assumption -- forever stuck with. He also pushes Morty too far numerous times but reels him back in again anytime because what other option is there? Being stranded alone in an asteroid gas station restaurant?
Eventually Morty suggests returning to "their" home dimension. Rick's home dimension. He's reluctant but eventually (after a really long while and lots of convincing) does give in since their circumstances are dire and they could use a little civilization, even if it means returning to the family he abandoned.
I don't have much worked out for this Smith family, but I'd assume Summer is a good deal different from the Summer we know, due to being an only child. Beth's daddy issues are just as intense as Beth Prime.
This Beth and Jerry probably also never end up divorced and stay together for Summer's sake, honestly probably unhealthier than just splitting up for the time being and working out their issues separately.
Once they crash (probably literally) into their new "home" and everybody gets over the initial insanity of the situation, Rick struggles to confront the reasons he left and kind of just drowns himself in unhealthy habits. Besides the known drinking issues which is kind of the baseline, he makes sure to never let Morty out of his sight and pretty much makes a normal life for the kid impossible despite desperately promising it to him when they turned to move to Earth.
He builds a new portal gun out of scrap they've harvested while surviving and old things Beth never threw away because they reminded her of her father, and he's gone again. Gone with Morty. Gone God knows where. Except he returns at night to sleep in a shitty little cot and fuck he probably drags Morty's air mattress into his room with him without any explanation. Blames it on Morty not being able to sleep alone since they left the citadel. Blames it on anything but himself.
They go into what I'd describe as a narcissism-fuelled grace period, or honeymoon period, the more time they spend together off-planet after crashing at the Smith's house.
They go from Rick being very controlling and making Morty feel like an inferior sidekick, to Rick actually opening up and helping him become better. Very slowly and gradually, he realizes that, well, he's stuck with this Morty now. This is *his* Morty by all intents and purposes, and he doesnt have a fuckin replacement Morty ticket and after constructing and unregistered portal gun he'd not be let back into the citadel anyway even after reconstruction - so might as well invest his time and effort into this one Morty as much as he (claims to) hate it.
The kid is so broken already, having witnessed so many versions of his grandpa die, which Rick realizes after a while would just make it easier for him to reassemble him anew and mold him how he wants it. He's a sick bastard but if it aint broke dont fix it and especially dont fix it if it promises to always stay by your side and begs you not to leave
The whole "unlucky charm" curse only serves to fuel Rick's ego too because, unlike all these previous Ricks he only knows about on paper, *he* hasn't died yet with this shitty excuse of a Morty around him. which makes him better than all those before him. He's cocky, priding himself on living where those Ricks failed.
He gets too confident, as all Ricks do, and after a few too-close brushes with death he does decide to invest into various failsafes and "upgrading" Morty to a standard he sees fit. This is when Morty gets the tracker arm enhancement and various other augmentations that'll essentially turn him into a lifeline for Rick. He's driven by anxiety of his past mistakes, past deaths of Ricks, repeating. This time there'd be no scolding by teachers and new Rick two weeks later. There'd only be grief, and nothing.
Morty's trained not only in combat and survival skills but also shown how to reboot and even replace certain cybernetic parts of Rick's body.
surgery, baby!
Not on a clone, not a simulation, the real him. Train for the real deal.
They spend weeks in the newly constructed underground labs, Morty cutting him open and putting him back together; surgeries upon surgeries without any anesthetic so that Rick is fully aware and awake to guide Morty through it.
Eventually Morty does have to put those skills to the test when shit goes wrong on an adventure, but this is already so long so I'll spare you!! I'd be surprised if you read to here, if you did, thank you and I'm glad you're interested in my little guys !!

Things I love about the sea three;
All info is from Uma's Wicked Book and the descendants movies.
The fact that they put up with one another.
How in sync the three of them are.
Uma's speech thing before 'What's my name' where she mentions Gil and Harry before herself specifically.
They share what is essentially a diary disguised as an 'How to Guide'.
They all are somewhat good at drawing (based on the doodles spread around the book).
The part where Harry says "Sorry, Gil, it's true" when he talks about the lesser crocodile wrestling matches he's seen before talking about Gaston losing to ten foot croc.
The fact that they've gotten into food fights together.
How comfortable they are with one another.
They tell each other a lot of sensitive info in Uma's wicked Book.
They run the crew together.
Gil is the one who found the ball gown that Uma used to make her skirt.
Harry gave Uma a cracked crystal ball for her birthday once that she still has.
Harry once accidentally stole Gil's boots once and was implied to have given them back.
They gossip together.
Gil and Uma both agree that the fact that Harry was comfortable with sleeping on the Jolly Roger when snakes were being used to deal with a rat infestation is weird. And they were both creeped out by the snakes.
They're all dramatic together and find the cauldron born in the cauldron repair shop annoying.
Uma lets Gil have a tab despite being annoyed by how high it has gotten.
Harry and Gil both dislike going to Trolltown but still do because the slopshop is there and Uma likes eating there.
They go to the slop shop often together (at least once a week).
Harry joking about being able to read the slop shop menu to tease Uma and Gil.
Them pranking dragon hall students together.
Uma and Harry both loving the same class—Accelerated Piracy.
The boys teasing Uma about the fact that a hairy troll named Moe (who works at the Slop Shop) has a crush on her and how he even slipped her a note once.

If only one of my posts gets read by amateur authors let it be this:
SUBMIT YOUR WORK TO THE TOP PUBLICATIONS FIRST AND WORK YOUR WAY DOWN!
What do I mean by top? Standards of quality, audience, pay rate, legal contract; it can be anything. What matters is that you set the metric you prefer and aim for the top.
I say this because most new authors think that when submitting short stories, or flash fiction, or poetry, you need past credentials to publish with the highly-ranked publications. That's probably true but the logic is backwards. By the time you're good enough to publish in the highest ranking magazines, you've probably already published in a lot of others. Don't settle, you have nothing to lose.
Let's look at two scenarios. One in which you believe in your writing and one in which you don't.
The confident writer starts submitting to all the top publications. They submit, wait for a rejection, and submit again to a different one. They slowly work down the line until finally they hit the very top of the range of publications that are willing to accept their work. They now know what market they have a chance in and what markets to read from to improve.
The insecure writer starts submitting to all the unknown/unpaid/unvetted publications. They need to build credentials before they can submit to the preferred publications, right? If they don't get scammed out of rights they slowly move up the line of publications. They stop when they get accepted by the very bottom range of publications that will pay them the least amount, or give the least exposure, and think themselves lucky. And now they find themselves gaining much less confidence, and much less understanding of the markets, than if they started from the top. They'll have markets they believe they have to learn from when really they've surpassed them.
Even in the worst case publishing scenario: only one market accepts your publication at the very bottom, the only thing that is lost by being confident is your time. With any other publications willing to accept your work, you're guaranteed to get the better deal by being confident. Starting from the bottom is only self sabotage.
You may get more rejections (or even fewer than you think), but if you keep your head up and keep pushing, it'll be better for your writing and your confidence in the long run.
Besides, you'll probably be scammed less if you start with the ones that everyone trusts.
i'm not paralyzed, but i seem to be struck by you, i wanna make you move because you're standing still 🎸
