i understand the appeal of the in-universe memes about ninjago city getting destroyed constantly but there is so much more of ninjago to talk about!!!! give me ignacia memes about them bragging about kai. give me cole’s fiercely defensive hometown. show me JAMANAKAI VILLAGE so much oddly specific shit has happened there. idk. shintaro. stiix’s lingering resentment for them. the sea of sands unites behind jay like he’s an olympic athlete and then trashes on him for falling for the city life (becoming a celebrity). the samurai x fanclub discourse. there is so much to do with an in-universe meme format!!!!
I think Kai is the real mf with the sixth sense bc how the fuck DID he figure that out
Do the ninja smoke? My opinion:
Kai- cigarettes, yes. Cheap shitty cigs tho. Doesn't like how weed makes him feel so sticks to nicotine
Nya- has tried them but no cigarettes, Hates the smell so so much. no vape. Weed occasionally.
Cole- never smoked cigarettes or vaped and doesn't want to. Doesn't smoke weed either he eats edibles
Jay- tried to smoke cigarettes due to peer pressure in highschool and absolutely hated them the whole time. Hits candy flavored vapes like crazy and definitely smokes weed
Zane- has "smoked" before just to fit in but it does nothing for him. Kinda likes the smell
Lloyd- no cigarettes Kai would kill him. Nya would kill him. Vapes taste bad. Weed is fun occasionally.
Pixal- there's too much work to be done to smoke something that literally doesn't do anything.
Wu- I just know this old man has got crazy oni weed he's hiding. I know it.
i put this on my last acc but uh, the idea that lighting was an element that belonged to wojira
wind, water, and lightning elements have nightmares of wojira, who wants her powers back. Lightning ems have it the worst, wind ems are okay??? and water ems are in between
Libby had these nightmares and she was kinda becoming insane. Jay had already been born and Cliff was scared that Jay might get hurt due to Libby not being in the right state of mind. Knowing, however, that Jay would probably get these insanely realistic nightmares too one day, they were also fearing for others' saftey. So they dropped Jay off at with a couple who lived far away from Ninjago city, the Walkers.
Jay grew up with them and actually didn't get these nightmares until later on in his life, which was around age 9. I also hc Jay to have protothestic legs due to a car accident. After recovering, thats when he got the first nightmare. He never told anyone and he'd usually forget about it later on due to his tendancy to make jokes and stuff, distracting him from the dreams. This is also around the time he started zapping himself when he slept. However, around the 5th season, Lloyd getting possessed, Zane having recently "died", blah blah, he kept dreaming of them. This serpent kept replaying memories of it happening and stuff.
When skybound came along, everything went downhill. Basically everything got worse, he couldnt go a night without having those dreams, and Wu, noticing how Jay would act, remembering how Libby acted, gave him some magic tea. It was the same tea that blocked Libby's nightmares for a while. Basically, it blocked the user's ability to have any dreams. At all. No dreams means no Wojira. Libby used to take it when she was younger. But she stopped due to her actually being allergic to the tea leaves. Lucky for Jay, it worked. He got the tea around season 10, because he was just so anxious during that time (cole fell, the skybound mural just reminding him of all that trauma, etc). So Wu was easily able to tell something was wrong. Now, it's a thing he takes every 5 days.
Thanks for listening to my ted-talk.
doing normal stuff while listening to metal is so funny because I'm eating cereal and this guy is screaming at me
Is it just me or is it very funny that Cole is overall a disproportionate amount more times sleeveless than the rest of the ninja
Like it has happened at least 2 time that all the other ninja have their Gi designs for their season and Cole and only Cole will just be sleeveless

Now the fun part is asking why?
Like does whoever make their outfits (in universe) just really like Cole’s arms? Like he just doesn’t ask why he is the only part with no arm protection or anything.
Does Cole ask specifically for no sleeves??
Maybe so he can show off his like Earth punch lava arms thing
I’d think it could be Kai cause he would have a high body temperature so would get too hot with sleeves???? But no??
I genuinely think it’s something to do with him being the strong one so like fits some sort of archetype of a strong guy without sleeves
happy to know you guys like him.... (smiling evilly)
