Interest Check

Just a dumb thought that I had when I was supposed to be doing something else.

since Garmadon is the Master of Destruction and also, Lloyd's father, I kinda wondered whether there would be a day Lloyd would...inherit his element I guess? I know, Lloyd's already the Green Ninja – but just imagine him suddenly beginning to inherit Garm's powers little by little... without even realizing it....

And then meanwhile, post season 10 Garm is on the other side of Ninjago being like... wHat dAfuq haPpEned tO mY eLeMeNt?

grasshopper

Ninjago AU where everything is the same but Garmadon wasn't purified after the Final Battle.

THINGS I REALLY WISH GARM HAD THE BRAINCELLS TO WISH FOR USING THE MEGA WEAPON...

(I'm just pissed someone got their hands on a wish granting souvenir and basically... wasted it)

1. A wish to instantly turn Ninjago into his image. - (sighs) My man did everything he could to get to that point without just wishing for it instantly himself and taking the easy route. I fucking love this guy. ❌

2. A cure for the goddamned venom. - you'd think this one would be the most obvious of them all right? But apparently our Dark Lord didn't see that it was so here we are. (Though, sometimes I headcannon that he DID in fact try it, but it didn't work. I mean, the Golden Weapons were made by the FSM and even HE couldn't cure his own son so...) I'll give this a pass. ✅

Okay, I know the first two are the obvious ones. But let's move on.

3. Go back in time and I don't know...maybe STOP the Devourer's bite from happening in the first place, I GUESS? For fuck's sake, my dude literally DID use the weapon to go back in time in Episode 19, but did he decide to use it for this? Oh hell, no. ❌ But imagine if he DID though, but something goes wrong and Wu gets bitten instead. And the next thing he knows, he's pulled back to the present (because I'm just going to pretend the Mega Weapon has some screwed-up time limit) and sees the future he caused...and tries to fix it. (Because absolutely nothing goes as planned in canon and fanon)

4. A wish to strip his son of the prophecy. - Look, I get it. You're horrified you have to fight your own child to death and you've somehow managed to kinda accept it in later episodes of Season 2. Okay. So why not just wish Lloyd wasn't the Green Ninja? It wouldn't even hurt him. - The wish could still somewhat backfire by the role going to someone like Kai or the other ninja for example. But do you have to still stomach the realization you have to destroy your own son? Well, not really, huh? ❌

5. A wish to turn Lloyd back into a child. - So he was ambushed by the ninja in Episode 19 and that was when he first saw his son's...growth spurt, I guess? He was straight up horrified, but was it because he realized Lloyd lost his childhood or because he knew that this meant the Final Battle was drawing closer? An easy fix would be to just make him younger instead of... opening a portal into the past. He'd have more time to prepare and plus, this would also mean Lloyd could still have a childhood. And I don't think the ninja would try to pressure Lloyd to take Tomorrow's Tea again, now that he's got a second chance. Maybe Lloyd would argue though, but I doubt they would've let him.

OW MY DEAR ANKLES!

and thank you 🤣🫶🏻. I was at school when I saw this ask and laughed like a madwoman for the rest of the day.

Incorrect Quotes #3

*The team staying in Yang's Temple*

Lloyd: Can we stay with you tonight?

Kai: Both of you? What happened?

Nya: Cole thought it would be funny to play with a ouija board in the attic and Zane thinks he cursed the whole temple

Lloyd: Jay wasn't any help. He doesn't know how to banish spirits, so he's just throwing salt at them and yelling "does this look like a hotel to you?!"

Kai: Get in here and lock the door

I just woke up and i had a dream about the lego ninjago universe, lego Ninjago movie universe and like 2 other alternate universes (one of them had an evil lloyd) and like there was this huge ass war

Basically it was lloyds 18th birthday and like turns out evil Lloyd has been planning to merge all of the AU's so it can inevitably get destroyed. Evil Lloyd was like in some sort of asylum, the other AU lloyd worked in a street food restaurant with garmadon (human), the other two were playing video games or something and then it cut to these 4 serpentine people around some sort of map of the universe(?) And like they were panicking cuz the universes are about to merge with each other which would destroy the AUs and maybe even others (basically big bang)

I remember blazey and lloyd (from the series) trying to avoid missiles and Lloyd somehow got out of the car and he was like on those pretty looking things that has thin water with a fountain thing (idk what they're called) and garmadon (from evil lloyd universe who's good) saw him and was shocked cuz he's never seen him like that in a long time (i have no idea what evil Lloyd looks like i just know he was in an asylum) and he was in the verge of tears and basically saved him

That's all i remember from the dream but honestly i think it should be a movie

what the hell is wu studio and why am i getting asks about it????? this is really funny but what???

When that purple energy came out of Lloyd's hands, I suddenly thought of Garmadon's powers. I know Lloyd's is a lot lighter in color and probably from the crystals instead, but I just thought it would be cool for him to finally unlock Destruction you know? Cuz in Season 8 Harumi was trying to get Garm to unlock his by making him fight Lloyd and now she's making the son unlock his????

Ns16! EPISODE 13 Spoiler/leaks

OMG YALL IM SORRY FOR THE CAPS BUT A LEAKED CLIP WAS JUST POSTED ON YOUTUBE AND I NEED A TRANSLATION BECAUSE EVIL LLOYD JUST GOT CONFIRMED AND IVE BEEN SCREAMING NON STOP FOR LIKE FIVE MINUTES NOW SJJABXQKKXLAJSJ I CANT WAIT!!!!!!

Ok, so according to the Tommy, the main reason why Jay isn’t an inventor anymore is because (and this is the exact quote), “Between Jay, Nya and Pixal there were too many characters with that profile.” Aka, there were now too many techies on the main cast to warrant a need for them all, so that part of Jay’s character ultimately got the ax.

Now while I can understand why three techies could be frustrating to work with from a writing perspective, I would like to offer a compromise to this conundrum, as I still firmly believe it was a bad decision to get rid of what’s arguably Jay’s most redeeming and defining qualities.

So, here is my proposal…

Why not have Jay be the “wacky” inventor of the team, while Nya and Pixal remain more refined and practical?

Jay wasn’t just an tinkerer. The guy grew up in a junkyard, meaning he’s used to making almost anything out of what’s basically scrap metal. In the earlier seasons, Jay would build about anything that simply popped into his head, just because he could. He and his entire family even had weird inventions and made up terms for pretty much everything there, no matter how absurd. This is unlike Nya and Pixal, who both have much sleeker styles. Jay is creative and an out-of-the-box thinker, which was one of his greatest strengths.

Have Nya and Pixal tag team and build the main vehicles for the team back at the monastery while Jay is able to spruce something up with limited supplies when they’re out on a mission. His methods aren’t always conventional or practical, or even the prettiest, but they almost always do their job and get the team out of a sticky situation. That way they can all still have that “mechanical” side, but just now suited for different roles, balancing everything out.
