It's spooky month so you know I gotta' draw my favorite green guys!
Anyone who talks about Jaya with kids and says that Nya would not be the dad and Jay would not be the mom are wrong. Full-stop.
Jay is the one driving the soccer mom minivan. He is the one who is making sure that everything is packed correctly and no, Nya, he did not play ten years worth of Tetris for you to pack the car like a fucking lunatic. Everything must be rearranged to fit in as tightly as it possibly can. The cooler must be left accessible.
Nya is also definitely the parent who passes on the responsibility of saying no.
Kid: Mama, can I eat candy for dinner?
Nya: did you ask your father?
Jay: No! You cannot have candy for dinner!
Everyone says that Jay would be the one to indulge his kids but I honestly think it would be Nya. She didn't have parents growing up, and she had to grow up really fast, so she would want her kids to have as much fun as possible when they're young.
On the other hand, Jay recognizes the gaps in his upbringing, and wants to try and be a good dad. He's old enough to recognize that a lot of the discipline his parents did was good for him and that kids need it in their lives, even if he would love to indulge them like Nya does.
So yeah, give me tired and stressed stay-at-hom soccer mom Jay who drives a minivan and loves it. Give me chill as fuck dad Nya who lets pretty much anything fly and would probably join in your shenanigans.
I’m rewatching tournament of elements and I love how Jay randomly breaks his leg and then it just randomly heals the next episode. Like??? Literally what was the purpose of that LMAO
Okay I have to know, is it just me, or do y’all get this giddy feeling when Ninjago confirms smthg small?? This show likes to either heavily imply things or leave stuff up to the imagination a lot, so it’s nice when things are explicitly said.
Or in other words;
✨Small canon things in Ninjago that aren’t necessarily important to the plot, but important to me✨
(feel free to add on)
lloyd has ptsd from harumi
everyone knew lilly passed away prior to s13
the ninja’s parents were very close
the ninja are used to paparazzi and red carpet events
nya’s stubbornly independent, to the point she’ll hurt herself before asking for help
the ninja call each other family
zane and jay can sing. like really well
cole cannot sing; but cole can dance
cole has excessive knowledge of the performing arts
the ninja have been training together for several years now

jay has anxiety
kai is overprotective of everyone he cares abt
kai tends to be more protective of the younger ones (i.e. lloyd, nya, and jay)
kai is good with kids
all the ninja came from broken homes
kai’s first response to grief is denial
jay’s prone to panicking; so much so that everyone gets worried when he doesn’t freak out
cole talks to himself when he’s stressed
zane likes to cook
zane is the mom friend
zane can absolutely be an asshole when he wants to be
nya scares everyone when she’s angry
nya’s temper is just as bad, if not worse, than kai’s
everyone knows to steer clear of nya when she’s having an outburst
nya’s not very physically affectionate
nya often shows her love through actions, rather than words or affection
lou neglected cole after lilly died
cole thrives off of positive reinforcement
cole is afraid of disappointing people
cole has ptsd from his fall

ronin won’t put the ninja in direct danger; commit crime under their watch and mess with them, absolutely, but he’d never hurt them
dareth sees the kids as “his ninja”
dareth would sacrifice himself for the ninja
jay’s afraid of spiders
jay’s afraid of being alone
everyone has ✨abandonment issues✨
kai can’t skate
not necessarily canon, but jay displays symptoms of adhd (fidgeting, sensitivity to loud sounds, rambles when he’s nervous, etc)
lloyd can’t act
lloyd bites his lip a lot
zane, nya, jay, and pixal are the most tech savvy and inventive
kai picks on jay more than anyone else
people swear on the first spinjitzu master
the ninja have been living with each other for the better part of their lives
a lot of trauma could’ve been avoided if wu would’ve just told them things
When me and my gang pull up
Headcanon that Jay is more on edge after Skybound. Not just because of Nadakhan, but also because his father casually has a wall of his personal photos that haven't been released to the public
I was looking for this, thanks :o)
I loved feeling like i was becoming insane while hearing this. Great song.
i was in a thrift shop the other day and they were playing the most unsettling variations of normal christmas music, culminating in this rendition of the 12 days of christmas except it was like 12 guys all singing over each other and going “no!” and interrupting the lyrics with random other phrases until they deadass just started singing 5 golden rings to toto’s africa. can anyone confirm that this is a real song and not that i stroked so hard i astral projected into a universe where everything is somehow worse than it is here
