Awww Look At Them

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

lloyd is too young to know what a VCR is

jay was angry at his birth parents at first for abandoning him

jay is short

lloyd can have trouble concentrating

lloyd moves around a lot in his sleep

lloyd tends to flip and twirl around like an anime protagonist when in battle

cole snores very loudly

jay can’t sit still for long periods of time

jay fidgets a lot

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 cares about the ninja a lot

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

Rewatching Ninjago, and I just realized that Zane in the first Episode is still learning how to play video games.

Considering his character is all the way in the back attacking nothing.

my friend drew cute uwu fanart of dream

Er, y'know animal jam? The furry economy game? Yeah, I have an AU for it! :D

Info under cut! :) Long read btw :P

Mira's Child

I've been trying to come up with a name for years help i just started using this name recently I've been working on this story for at least 8 years, since I first started playing AJ. And it didn't even have a plot back then? It was just "emo wolf has powers his older brother hates him and he also has powers so emo wolf is abandoned and now lives with phantoms ALSO HE'S THE SON OF GREELY BC GREELY IS EVERYTHING"

Anyways, here's the new version: Zios is bad here btw. Sorry! Anyways, Mira is trapped in this magic river. By, you guessed it, Zios! They basically fought over the land and Zios trapped her in the river so he could have it. Other then that, they have no connection. They were just two beings fighting over Jamaa. Zios, being lonely, brings the animals, who were living in different areas dedicated to their species, and welcomes them to Jamaa. Mira, slowly dying, wants to pass on her powers to someone. Welcome Void, a young pitch black wolf who accidently stumbles upon the river. She teaches him her powers and how to use it incase of an emergency. Sharing her powers with him, she and him become friends. Then the war between the animals happen and Void is called to battle for the wolves. Mira wishes him luck. The war is almost over, with only a few species left standing. The rabbits, the monkeys, and the wolves. And then, Void is slaughtered brutely. Part of Mira's powers die with him and she is weakened further, also saddened by her friend's death. A few more years pass and more jammers are picked. A rabbit, a panda, anyone who happens to find the river. But Mira doesn't trust any of them as she realizes they would be consumed by power and would have ill intensions. And then the battle between the Phantoms and Jamaa happens, a few of the animal species reuniting. They fight over the land and Zios picks 6 animals, the Alphas, to help fight. A wolf named Greely is one of these chosen animals. Meanwhile, his sister, Minnie, is jealous and practices her fighting alone in the forest, accidently finding the river and Mira. Mira sees good in her and tries again to pass on her power. Minnie, however, is too weak to control the power and causes more harm then good. She feels awful and apologizes to Mira before letting Mira take her power back and Minnie runs away. And no one is picked as the next 'Mira's Child' again for a few years. Until Greely has kids. Two twins, Dash and Dare, a daughter named DJ, and his youngest, Junior. Having powers is rare and usually only descendents of power-wielding jammers have power. Dash and Junior have powers but Junior's is more powerful and Dash gets jealous. This leds to him bullying his youngest brother. One day, the siblings are playing in the woods and Junior finds the river. Mira's glad to see him and tries to make him come closer but Junior is hesitant. He goes closer and soon is able to connect to Mira. She tells him how she needs her help but him being just a pup, is confused at first. So she tells him to come back so she can explain more later. And he does the next day. And the day after that. And the day after that. But she doesn't give him her power yet.

As time passes, the Phantoms attack their hometown. Dash hides Junior somewhere, telling him he'd be safe but only for him to abandon Junior while he escapes, their mother desperate to find her son but failing. And like that, Junior is taken by the Phantoms. In this AU, the phantoms aren't that bad. They kinda are but kinda aren't. Anyways, feeling bad for Junior, they welcome him. And he now lives with them. That's basically the beginning of the story for now. I'ma end it here for now. Uh, hope that was somewhat understandable.
