Speaking From A Completely Meta Perspective. Of Course The Ninjas Are White, If It Wasn’t For The Fact

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.

Okay so like. I've been microwaving this concept of Kai never having been sick before? (hc warning) Because he's the master of fire so his internal temperature is higher than a normal person's. So, I was thinking, *would* he ever get sick? What would that even mean for him?

And uh, my idea is that for the master of fire...being sick is like, the opposite of a fever. Where they would become colder instead of hotter. I haven't done any research on the effects of a colder internal temperature but! I imagine for a mof, that shit sucks XD.

(hc warning) Kai being the cringemaster he is would either completely hate being sick because he's not used to relying on others (ya know, his trauma past with the parents being out of the picture) OR he would love being sick because of all the attention he'd get.

The simulation my microwave has been producing as of late is him being this version of sick due to the connection with his elemental power. My current reasoning is that the volcano where the fire temple is has frozen over XD crazy. The microwave is crazy.

This concept also has some hella oppo angst :) poor Zane, he chilly ;-;

Wow he’s been through a lot. I guess I have to be the big brother for him too.

If they ever met, they would both think that they’ve adopted the other as their younger brother.

BRO STOP THIS BIT SENT ME

IM ON THE FLOOR

highlights from a slideshow we made explaining ninjago s2 to a friend, thought ninblr might appreciate them :D

A picture of Lord Garmadon with his four arms outstretched, with text reading “you already watched this but upon getting the four weapons of spinjitzu…he…MAKES THEM ONE WEAPON. what the heck were the four arms for then ???”

An image of a young Lloyd training. He is standing on one hand and all four other ninja and Wu are balanced on his legs. The text beside the image reads “apparently they make good use of dareth’s
dojo because how does an eight year
old do THIS?!?!?! [three brain exploding emojis]
BUT WAIT.
they answer that!!! (sort of) (it makes sense if u think abt it)
Lloyd can control all of their elemental powers. Idk if you knew that yet, but that’s his thing.”

An image of Kai from the pilots, looking towards the camera with a frown. There’s a mirror in the back, but the image doesn’t line up. Instead, Kai in the mirror is smirking at himself. Beneath, text reads “such a goober” with a grinning smiley face next to it.

An image of the megaweapon with an image of the volcano where the Fire Temple is located beside it. Text reads “RIP Megaweapon you will not be missed”

An image of the overlord in his glowy orb state. Beside it, text reads “he looks like this rn” with a clown emoji.

An image of Gayle Gossip staring at the camera with a microphone held up to her mouth. She looks nervous and Kai is in the background, running away from the camera. Beneath this image is another one, where all the ninja stand in front of Gayle Gossip, looking ready to fight. Beside Gayle, Dareth holds up her camera.

Text next to these images reads “idk if this is the first appearance of her or not, but take a Gayle Gossip appreciation slide. she’s the news lady that is just UNHINGED in her determination to follow the most dangerous stories ever. she also has a crazily tall hairpiece and i honestly love that for her. also mildly relevant for later: dareth has a massive crush on her (fair tbh)”

There are two images of older Lloyd using his powers, and one of a young Lloyd attempting to light up a lightbulb. Above and beside these images there is text reading “he can control all their elements, but he also has his own like energy power? (no one knows what it is. not even him.) sometimes his element is called “energy” or “power” or “life” (TLNM calls it green 😭) but it’s just green balls of energy he can shoot at people. he can manipulate like electricity and stuff too with it (in this episode he messes with lightbulbs—lights em up and explodes em if he’s not careful)”

On a white background, bold text reads “Quick ‘Ninjago’ PSA”. Smaller text beneath it reads “NINJAGO ≠ NINJA GO! (that’s their catchphrase)
NINJAGO = the REALM
but ALSO the continent
AND the country (i think, it’s unclear)
AND definitely the city/capital (Ninjago City)”
Beside the text is a map of Ninjago and an image of Ninjago city at night.

The first half of the slide shows a full body shot of Misako in her default outfit above text reading “(also she literally NEVEr gets a new outfit in like 15 seasons [distressed emoji])” Then, next to an image of Misako smilling, more text reads “the writers hate all women but actually it’s just her” with “all women but actually it’s just” in strikethrough font, so it looks like “the writers hate her.” The text continues, “THEY FORGOT LAST SEASON THAT LLOYD NEEDED A MOM [two skull emojis]
so yeah that’s his mom. her name’s Misako and she’s an archeologist or smth
basically they explain her absence last season by saying that she was trying to find a way to reverse the venom on garmadon or something to keep the prophecy from coming true”

At the top of the image, text reads, “also btw garmadon used to look like anakin skywalker (why misako married him probably).” Below it is an image of young garmadon and an image of Anakin Skywalker from Star wars: the clone wars. More text below this says “(literally they are the same man, different font).” More text, beside these images, reads, “the great devourer venom took a while to corrupt him fully, so he was able to be good for a while.” At the bottom of the screen, two images, one of Garmadon and one of Lloyd, are compared. Both smirk at the camera in their signature Garmagrin. Their faces are identical. Text below this reads, “where lloyd got his rugged good looks”

A slide with three images. The first one is Garmadon when possessed by the Overlord, looking like a dragon with four arms glowing with power. Text below this reads, “u should honestly be so grateful this image is so low quality.” A second image shows red spinjitzu, with text reading, “nya is turned evil by the overlord too and can suddenly do evil!spinjitzu for some reason.” Finally, beside this, there is an image of Nya when corrupted by the overlord, with gray skin and purple eyes. Text reads, “look how they’ve massacred my girl [crying emoji]”

Text reads, “for some reason they thought this visual wouldn’t keep 10 year olds awake at night:” with a picture of the Overlord’s dragon form against a black background, mouth gaping and eyes glowing. It is very creepy.

Picture of Cole, Zane, Jay, and Kai’s elemental blades with text reading, “rip elemental blades you will be missed”

Text fills much of the screen reading, “once lloyd defeats the overlord HIS DAD COMES BACK!! [three head exploding emojis]
like fully uncorrupted and stuff!! just a regular old old guy!!!
(they save nya too she’s totally fine)”
Below it are two small images, one of Jay and Kai embracing Nya, and one of Zane and Cole hugging. Text reads “some lq 2-second hugs [smiling tearing up emoji]”
Finally, there are two images, one of Garmadon in his human form, and one of Garmadon, Lloyd, and Misako hugging. Beside these images text reads, “MY GUY IS FREED FROM THE FOUR ARMS!!”

IT FINALLY HAPPENED!! COME AND GET YOUR REWARD Y'ALL!! SPICYNOODLE IS OFFICIALLY CANON!!! (In The AU)

IT FINALLY HAPPENED!! COME AND GET YOUR REWARD Y'ALL!! SPICYNOODLE IS OFFICIALLY CANON!!! (In the AU)

Holy shit Red Son true form is taaaaaalllll (MK our short King baby boy you better climb your man)

And yeah, they are in a cell in heaven, and MK freedom is on the line, and this is the most crazy and out of the place time and place for this. But it's THEM. Of COURSE they would have their first kiss in the most crazy of the situations.

I don't know if I have the words for how much stupid silly "12-years-old-girl-screaming-energy" happiness gived me this chapter. I had 2 weeks of 11 hours of work every single day, I lost countless hours of sleep and hadn't seen the sun in days, but man everyday after 7pm, knowing that i got to draw this part was what at the end of the day gave me back almost all the energy and motivatiom.

They are so stupid and in love your honor, I love them so much.

Shadowpeach Bio Parent AU (PREV / FIRST / NEXT)

Next part is coming on December 8th 2PM

Vertical & & horizontal resolution wallpaper of the kiss under the cut!!!
