After listening to Epic the Vengeance Saga…

600 Strike reminds me of the chapter where Jay beats the crap out of Nadakhan

NO IDEA WHAT YOU MEAN HAHA you totally didn’t make me heavily fixate on this song and motivate me on this part of my Skybound project….

Also made animation for this part of the song.

JAYNUARY DAY 1 - PILOTS / INVENTION

Something about Jay's wings from the first pilot have always just stuck with me as a core memory, so I knew exactly what to draw for today!

Its VERY rough - I have a very busy month ahead of me, so most of the days I end up posting will either be very roughly finished like today's or just some cleaned up sketches. I'm just up for the challenge - I think drawing like this every day this month will do me some good lol, especially if it's my boy Jay (I have not drawn him NEARLY enough for a while)/

Below - the scene from the pilot, very poorly screenshotted from youtube

I can't wait for this month to fly by, now! This will be so much fun, and thank you so much @nin-jay-go for hosting this!

Have a lovely day!

Au Ninjago (I already felt sorry for it) It is almost the structure of the original series except that here they would face Garmadon (if I am being very original lol) and his army of shadows to get the golden weapons. The army of shadows is something created by Garmadon since here he knows how to use his Oni power but the defect of this army would be that it cannot command itself so it needs Captains to command it, in total there are five captains and Lloyd since he doesn't. They take into account the other captains. I'm leaving the descriptions in the images. I hope you like it

K, does something stupid

J: "You're lucky I don't want to kill you..BECAUSE I WANT TO KILL YOU"

K, while jumping into action: "Yeah? Get in line!"

J: "I'M AT THE FRONT OF THE LINE"

I was a little confused at first but after more (regrettable) searching around I am now aware.

ninjago tumblr how we feelin

If you look at it closely, Jay has the weirdest early midlife crisis...

Worked at insane office job,

Left office job to join a furry cult,

Beat up his ex wife (or got beaten up),

Got kicked out from furry cult,

Went rogue and to possibly help a terrorist group

All this time on the clock

I think it's time to reset

Some Rogue/Jay art

I sure hope they wont waste his character haha *laughs nervously*

I feel like tumblr doesnt do justice for the quality so feel free to click and zoom °w°

Closeup and sketchy version:

I love how if you'd go back a few seasons, it would be the exact opposite

Just spent way too long working on a meme, but I couldn't get the idea of these two as this image out of my head.

Below is the original image + the colored in sketch cus I like how it looked.

hiii I am here to point out/analyze (??) a scene from Skybound that I haven’t seen anyone mention before.. (if this has already been talked about I would like to see the post about it ^-^) also, apologies in advance if tumblr kills the quality of my pics..

⚠️tw/cw for icky implications and the topic of skybound as a whole⚠️

this screenshot. I’m sure you’ve seen it before, I’m sure you recognize the episode/scene it comes from (s6 episode 6: "My Dinner With Nadakhan"). but have you ever noticed the way Nadakhan is touching Jay?! did you ever notice that he’s grabbing Jay’s waist..?

the fact that Nadakhan (after seizing Jay’s wrist) went for Jay’s WAIST next is concerning to me. it was such an immediate reaction, no hesitation whatsoever. he just grabbed him. Nadakhan always vandalizes ANY CHARACTER’S personal space, but this grab felt so violent. and the way that Jay has almost no reaction to it..? that’s also deeply concerning..

now I know you might be asking- "is that even Jay’s waist?". I know, I know. it LOOKS like his hand is pretty high, but remember that Jay is also sitting down. I have more pictures to prove that this is, in fact, Jay’s waist.

and the thing that makes this whole scene even more terrifying is THIS:

the way that Nadakhan smiles when Jay finally gives up is sickening.. and again, it’s so sad that Jay just.. accepts it. and Nadakhan caressing Jay’s hair.. which we’ve seen him do MORE THAN ONCE- not to mention the one time Nadakhan pulls Jay by his hair to lift his face off the ground.

(I couldn’t find a picture of the exact scene, but this is another time Nadakhan is being weird with his fucking hook hand…! ew..!)

I know that y'all get what I’m implying here.

just felt the need to talk about this scene bc of how much it breaks my heart :(

(⚠️PLEASE NO FIGHTING/DISCOURSE IN THE REBLOGS/COMMENTS OF THIS POST! any comments of people fighting or trying to instigate a fight will be removed. this post doesn’t exist as an open tournament for people who disagree on things about skybound. please be respectful and accept others opinions!⚠️)

I TURNED JAY INTO THAT ONE REACTION IMAGE

no blush ver ⬇️

this has probably been done before but oh well

Wildbrain era fr ruined Jay so much the fandom just completely forgot what his character was about I'm crying 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭(I opened twitter and saw the polls today 💔)

most of the time jay being mischaracterized is because people for some reason use the 11 minute era as like the complete basis of his entire character… i'm so glad DR exists because otherwise the last thing we'd get of his character with crystallized would be jay giving a peace speech, THAT fucking ramen song and a pee joke because he literally does nothing else in what would have been the final season of the original show

I remembered that one scene from skybound and decided to draw it bc I found it funny. might color this later but it’s almost 4 am so 🤪🤪🤪

as a genderqueer jay truther, I am very fond of this scene..

tha stupid freckle boy again. made this just to make it my pfp on my Artfight lmaooo!

this is my design for him in my ninjago au— “identities”. :)

@chebyshevptera’s destinyswap au doodles !!!!!!!!

I really liked how this came out so i decided to color it a bit in digital :3 some other uncolored doodles are under the cut 😌

idk if this scene would actually happen in the au, I just couldn’t stop thinking of drawing this with plasma.. hhrhhrhrr..grggrrggrgrrr… going feral over destinyswap plasma the more I think about it actually 😭😭😭😭

oh and we have a VERY rough doodle of Kai, Lloyd and Morro.. I imagine them being like brothers :( they’re brothers to me

SORRY CHEBY IF I GOT THE DESIGNS WRONG OR ANYTHING I DREW THESE DURING SCHOOL SO I COULDNT CHECK OR HAVE REFERENCES OF THEMM 😞😞😞

I really like your au though it’s so cool and I hope you like these :D

cat behaviour

someone save him. he’s only one apple tall.

Just finished dragons rising s2!! even though I’ve already seen some spoilers for s3p1, IM STILL SO EXCITED TO WATCH IT !!!!!! more of my hyped thoughts abt s2 are below (WARNING: spoilers for Dr s2! just incase some ppl haven’t watched it yet. oh, and a yap warning.. bc yeah.. I talk a lot. help.)

pros/everything I loved - the overall plot of this season, continuing from where we were in s1, is absolutely AMAZING! the stakes get higher with each episode, creating such an epic buildup that pays off wonderfully in the finale, but still leaves you with questions about what will happen next. the pacing is GREAT. I loved this season EVEN MORE THAN DR S1! if I’m being honest, I think that dr s2 is one of my favorite Ninjago seasons, like ever. s2 and s5 will always be personal favorites of mine, but in terms of writing and story, and even animation (bc the freaking shading is BEAUTIFUL), dr s2 takes the cake for me. from Lloyd’s arc of getting over and adapting to his visions, the mystery during the tournament, to Arin’s well written and ultimate betrayal— this season is seriously outstanding in nearly every single aspect. all of the characters (even if some didn’t get as much screen time as others), are written extremely well and are very interesting and entertaining to watch. every character has so much thought put into their writing, and that makes them so much more emotional and easy to get attached to. for example; despite Arin’s betrayal and ignorance towards Sora, the writing does not make you hate him— rather, feel bad for him, and understand where he’s coming from, which is what makes his character in this season so interesting. and what makes his writing even better, is that this arc for him, was being built up since season 1. making Arin’s betrayal a slow burn affect is 100%, the BEST way they could’ve wrote this route for his character. I also want to talk about Lloyd, because undoubtedly, I find him and Arin’s character writing to be the best out of any of the characters this season. obviously, Sora, Nya, Wyldfyre and Kai all get their important and emotional moments/arcs as well, but I just felt that Lloyd and Arin really stuck out to me in terms of writing. I love Lloyd’s arc of having visions, eventually getting over them, and then having them come back to haunt him during the last few rounds of the tournament; it was just really enthralling to watch how he dealt with it. Nya’s reaction to learning that Jay had lost his memories was so heartbreaking to watch :( I like that Nya was telling Kai about it during the end of the finale, that was a nice touch. speaking of Kai, holy shit? he’s the goat?? he was trapped in the nether-space for idek how long, and the MOMENT he gets out he just starts BEATING THE EVER LOVING SHIT OUT OF NOKT! I kid you not, I replayed that scene about 15 times. like oh? my gawd? the line: “don’t you DARE touch her! ..that’s my sister.” DID NOT HAVE TO GO SO HARD BUT IT DID! there’s still so much i wanna say about how much i loved this season, and i wanna go more in depth about the character arcs and the villains, but this is getting pretty lengthy already, so I’m just going to stop here before i get even MORE carried away.

cons/things I didn’t like - legit my only gripe with this season is that we didn’t see more of wolf-walker/wolf mask Jay. I think it would’ve been better if we saw him for more than just one episode, or at least have him sideline all the other battles with Lord Ras and Cinder, driving the heartbreaking point home that Jay isn’t on the ninja’s side anymore. but I guess if they kept him there Nya would’ve kept pestering him 😭 I understand why they took Jay out early, but depending on power levels it also doesn’t make sense. not saying that Jay is stronger than Nya, but i believe in one of the Ninjago books, we find out how Ras recruited Jay- and while yes, Cinder almost killed him using Shatterspin (before Ras told him to stop), Jay was still one of the longest to last against Shatterspin without using the Rising Dragon technique. it’s also notable that at that point, Jay didn’t even know how to fight? if he lost his memory he doesn’t remember any of his training either, correct? idk, you’d think with Ras’s training AND knowing how to use Shatterspin, Jay would’ve lasted more than just one round. oh well. this isn’t really something that ruins the whole season for me or anything, this one nitpick is pretty much nothing compared to how many things I DID love about this season, but it’s still a writing decision I don’t really care for.

and thats all my yappings.. I’ll definitely come back to talking about this season, perhaps I’ll make separate posts on each character/aspect of dr s2 I want to analyze, but for now, that’s all. thanks for reading this huge thing! I really appreciate it!! 💙💙

yall get the crustiest, tiniest little sneak peak of a drawing I’m working on. simply because I’m struggling to shade it rn. I’m literally dying.

tumblr destroyed the quality

the ninja would put on those dancing fruit baby sensory videos to keep rogue jay from going out and killing people i think

STOPPPP IM GONNA CRY ACTUALLY :’( OW THEY HURRTTTTT SOBBING ON THE FLOORRRRR

rogue jay who’s forgotten everything x monstrosity kai who remembers too much…………..rogue jay who rewrites himself from scratch because remembering hurts x monstrosity kai who keeps his identity stitched together with grief and muscle memory……………….. rogue jay who doesn’t believe he’s worth saving x monstrosity kai who believes in it so much he tries to save both of them. Yeah. rogue jay who doesn’t care if he’s too far gone x monstrosity kai who refuses to believe either of them are

istg if I see ONE MORE POST.. of someone comparing Kai and Jay’s trauma...

the boys are fighting

(cw/tw for: fire, burns, blood, and bruises)

lyrics are from the song “Not” by Big Thief <3

yay more identities au. first panel shows Kai, second panel shows Jay. please read the alt text HEHEHHEHEHEE!!

also yes, this takes place during the 2 second fight Jay and Kai had in Crystalized. as you can tell, the version of this scene in my au is WAY more intense- welp.

if you want more of a look into how Kai acts in the Identities au, LISTEN TO NOT BY BIG THIEF‼️‼️‼️ it’s literally his song.

I’m so sorry tumblr butchered the quality of the second drawing 😭😭😭😭😭 legit on my knees in tears bc im SO PROUD OF THIS!!!! for once proud of my art and tumblr can’t even get the quality right.. smfh

giving yall the random and unhinged ninjago pictures in my camera roll. (under the cut bc there are A LOT.)

there are still more but. I reached the max limit of images so

waow I drew Jay!………. again….!

ignore that his head is too big in the first one :-(

genderqueer Jay.. ough… he likes dresses guys. don’t forget he said he wanted to wear a kimono.

skybound wouldve been better if jay died and nya made the last wish

in my opinion

oh kai with spiky mullet…. how I wish I could draw you 💔

yes plasma wip. more gay lego men kissing. I apologize for doing Kai so dirty but like I genuinely can’t draw his stupid hair from the side rn idk what’s wrong.. he just looks like fucking sonic the hedgehog whenever I try to

guidelines for the sketch under the cut + sonic the hedgehog kai

ouhhhhhhghhhhhhh he pretty boyyyyyyyyy
