Readers, make sure you have all your favourite Ao3 fics downloaded.
Writers, make sure you have copies of all the fics you have posted on Ao3.
I don’t want to be alarming, but things could get really bad really fast. OTW shared this today on Twitter, and I'm a bit worried about it 😅
Ao3 is a non-profit organisation. If they have to start paying taxes, I have no idea what will happen.
I love mikey, he's perfect
vs. me, a reader:
Reader: if this gets any angstier I’m going to scream

I'm going to microwave this now.
Jay becoming evil and Zane suddenly being treated as equipment and acting less like Zane almost seems like it links.
Because none of us should forget that the first person who humanised, was non-judgmental, understanding and quickly accepting to Zane’s non-human insides was Jay.
Before the big reveal, in the early seasons Zane was still considered strange and weird. His personality and the way he behaved was strange to others and the ninja, and despite Jay still thinking that, he was one of the first people to not judge Zane based off of such a thing and was even willing to help him understand how to socialise more. I mean yeah sure he was still a butt towards Zane at times but he never actually hated or judged Zane for who he was.
When Zane’s reveal as a nindroid was shown to them Jay quickly jumps in with how despite the fact that Zane isn’t human, that doesn’t mean he isn’t still Zane. Nothing changed when they found out Zane was a nindroid because he was always a nindroid, they just know that now. Jay even starts making jokes about it five seconds later, this man has horrible timing.
Jay himself seems like before the ninja he was always overly self conscious about how his life was like and how his quirks made him behave, so i think when he first met Zane he wasn’t just going to judge and push him away but instead help him and accept him.
Now, with Jay being evil and having worked under the same group that is calling Zane equipment and unable to actually feel, is there anyone out there who will actively encourage and support Zane through who he is? Pixal my love come back and fix your man’s horrible mental health. Maybe smack him with the broom your face is on.
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.
this is kind of giving Desert Kings for me
Ninjago + Edgerunners?? Those are mostly screenshot redraws.
For this specific au kai is much older than Nya, her being 17 and kai being 26.
