Uhhhhhhhhhhh

I am shaking the bars of my enclosure (college) I NEED to draw Acronix having an obsession with metal music because like????? Avenged Sevenfold?? In his playlist RIGHT NOW. Specifically the Nightmare album because I'm biased.

doomed au timeline thing? idrk

uhh okay so . i saw that the doomed au kinda popped off n i figured i'd go into a bit more depth for fun so i doodled out this crappy comic thing. i think i saw a homestuck comic do something similar LOL.

im gonna give like. aftermath of the ninja's deaths and such for the sake of clarity , since i know this is just an angsty clusterbump.

Kai: The real ignition for Lloyd's downfall. The staff was destroyed moments before the transformation ritual by the green ninja himself. In Lloyd's mind, his friend would return to normal. But he was met with something else as Kai desperately took the shards and ran away instead, too far gone into his ego and insanity. Returning home they remain the same in quantity, with Lloyd and Nya heartbroken, and Zane blaming himself.

Cole: He acted as the stable rock of the group. He brought the ninja back to their high spirits again, acting as a replacement flame for Kai to reunite his team. He even began the trend of looking for the missing ninja, with hope they were still out there. Yet despite being the very reason they stabilized, no one seemed to realize he disappeared. Instead they suddenly felt lost, like they were missing something. The grief returned, and the dots never connected.

Zane: His disappearance set the team on course for failure. With him, Asphera never explained where she had banished him, and the others were left to believe he was really, truly gone this time. He acted as the caretaker for the group, tying them together once more as he tried to bring back the joy they lost through menial tasks and the small details of the world. Even back to when Kai disappeared, Lloyd could be a leader with his help. With the last light in the tunnel gone, no one had any more confidence to step up.

Nya: Jay and Lloyd's breaking point. Without her, they lost their drive to keep searching. Her disappearance plays the same as canon, becoming one with the sea. Though she was less hesitant now, understanding that this was just fate, that the team wasn't meant to survive. If that was the case, she'll go out with a bang, knowing that with her gone they would understand too. At least she knew they would be safe for now.

Lloyd: His disappearance happened long after he recognized his Oni form. After having to fight the overlord alone, he went on a downwards spiral. Jay couldn't be there, and frankly, Wu couldn't get through to him like Garmadon did. Lloyd hated the idea of fate. He felt too, like Nya, that the team wasn't meant to last. As such, in his last effort to feel control, he caved into what came easy.

Pixal: Like Zane did in canon after Nya, she turned off her emotion meter. She knew some of the ninja could be saved, and she knew she had to stop grieving in order to even try. In a frustrated effort, she attempted to bring the ninja to her level, only to blame herself for Lloyd's snap. After realizing she couldn't do much for a grieving Jay, she leaves to find the others.

Jay: Who knows where he is. Wu entered his quarters to find only a pair of nunchaku, and his gi laying on his pillow. Maybe he joined Pixal, maybe he existed as a criminal like Lloyd now. All Wu knew is he lost his last student and the last defender of Ninjago. It's likely Jay quit, afraid of becoming next in fate's cruel hand. He'd only learn after the merge.

okay thats it lmao. i might add more ideas in the future but im not creative enough to plot it out properly gO NUTS

“Looks like the little guy wants to give Drago a BIG kiss”

I was thinking about that one scene in s1 where the ninja hung Lloyd up on a building and suddenly had a vision to draw this Im sorry in advance.

Bonus:

that line in s1 ep9 where cole says "hence my father thought a 7-year old could" just stuck with me

i wanna draw little cole about to go on stage, nervous, wearing his royal blacksmith outfit

i wanna see lilly comfort him after he fell

i wanna see lou walk away from the audience after he had tried doing the triple tiger sashay, cole seeing and getting sad, but it's ok bc he just went up to go comfort cole after he had gotten off the stage

i wanna see little cole's quartet

A plethora of doodle requests from Instagram (Only the ones I thought turned out well hehe)!! No one asked for anything here so I was surprised to get so many on there!

everyone say THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH to @finn-m-corvex for the tired accountant jay idea who fixes coffee machines with his powers 3 times a day and shouts at sharon for overusing the printer <333

doing normal stuff while listening to metal is so funny because I'm eating cereal and this guy is screaming at me

Headcanon that Jay was given a really fancy name by his birth mom and Ed and Edna just went with it, but it just did NOT suit him and they were always trying to think of nicknames but none of them stuck, and they were so relieved when he came out as trans and changed his name that they didn't even care that he named himself after a minor crime.

Zane got all the brain cells except none of the ninjas escape the buffoonery. Not even him.

+Cole wears You-know-who's shirt.

sore throats might be the stupidest response to illness i've ever experienced. oh you want to eat? drink?? breathe air??? TEN THOUSAND KNIVES ATTACK
