is anyone else like super scared and excited for part two of crystallized like I wanna watch it the moment it comes out but at the same time I never wanna watch it but I’m excited about Lloyd and garmadon and the oni but
I’m terrified that someone might die or that lloyd might get even more traumatized (the poor kid) or that we won’t get the kai and nya scenes we have been begging and pleading for or the development arcs
like tommy anderson has done so good and so horribly bad at the same time
man idk how to feel about this.
Respectfully, some of you in the ninjago fandom REALLY need to get this in your ears:
the amount of grief jay felt about nya’s death IS NOT LARGER THAN THE AMOUNT OF GRIEF KAI FELT.
familial love and romantic love are two different things. and yes, depending on circumstances and the people themselves, one can be stronger than the other.
BUT NOT IN NYA’S CASE. KAI AND JAY LOVE NYA EQUALLY. JAY DID NOT MISS NYA MORE THAN KAI. KAI JUST HID HIS GRIEF, AND MAYBE IS COPING IN A DIFFERENT WAY. KAI AND JAY ARE DIFFERENT PEOPLE. BUT THEY LOVE NYA EQUALLY.
so stop saying jay was more upset over nya’s death when kai literally held her when she was a child and raised her and was there for nya her entire life. nya missed them both, and they both missed her. thats it.
Hey! What do you think are the ninja's love languages?
I’d love to share my thoughts on this! For those of you that do not know the five love languages, they are five ways people might show how they love (obvi not limited to romantic) someone, and speak the way they would like to feel cared for. People tend to love all five, but certain types are special to them. The five are: quality time, words of affirmation, gift giving, acts of service, and physical touch. I determined each character’s through how they interact with the others. So grab a snack, and get cozy because this is a lot.....
Cole
Cole's love language is definitely physical touch (both giving and receiving). Imagine being hugged by cole like it would be such a nice hug guys. Throughout the show, you can see him hugging, touching, or a simply arm on a shoulder as he smiles at them. For example,
+ when cole hugged zane when he found him in s4, when cole grabbed kai and danced with him, and there are too many to all list here
and, below are examples of how Cole not only gives affection like this, but also likes to be shown affection through physical touch
LOOK AT HOW HAPPY COLE LOOKS
anyways I also do believe Cole has a secondary love language (again, both receiving and giving) , it being words of affirmation. We see Cole as a comforting character throughout Ninjago, like when he tried to uplift kai when kai was upset abt his powers, or when he reassures Zane when he told them he was a robot, by calling him special and saying “you're still the same zane” and remember how happy he gets when someone verbally comforts him as well.
For example, when Kai and Nya comforted him when he was a ghost. When Cole lost the travelers tea in s11, he clearly needed someone to tell him it was alright and they would get it back. And when his father accepted him, he was so happy yk... like I always wanna see Cole happy pls
ok so Kai is.. complicated. I feel like we see him do all five of these but I'm pretty confident I've picked out the two most supported ones, in both giving and receiving ends Acts of Service, and Words of Affirmation (with a side of physical touch and quality time. ik. its basically all of them but bare with me).
First of all, let me explain Acts Of Service. This one is pretty self-explanatory ; when Nya was young, Kai undoubtably took care of her and supported them in ways Nya probably doesn’t even remember anymore since she was so young. This was surely his way of showing her he loved her, and showing that he wouldn’t leave her like their parents did.
Remember, Kai was attacked by skeletons, he attempted to fight them off for Nya’s sake, despite how scared he must’ve been. When he couldn’t , he become so desperate he joined a random stranger and followed him to an unknown place when this place, this house, was all he had ever known. Protection is definitely an act of service.
This brings me to my next point: Words of Affirmation. Kai is very vocal about how he loves Nya and the others. Whether it him be saying I love you directly, or complimenting/reassuring others. For example,
Over here, he reassures Lloyd by telling him how he himself felt, and then telling him he would look after him no matter what.
An example of how Kai is verbal with Nya is when she gives Kai a bike bc they needed to run away from Ronin. With this, Kai says,” I love my little sister,’’
Another example is when Kai reassures Nya in s10 when nya makes a ‘fatal’ mistake and cole falls off the bounty. He tells her shes the brains, and that she’s always building all the plans. This moment also stood out to me a lot because Kai knows exactly what Nya needed to hear. ( also when he entirely supported her when she told him she was samurai x, and more) + Kai reassured cole that he was still a part of their team even after being a ghost (words of affirmation) and helped Jay propose to Nya and entirely supported/cheered him on through the process (acts of service)
I said quality time bc remember how when his parents came back he was playing video games with his dad, etc - he was clearly having sm fun. Also, Kai does tend to hug/ lean against others quite a lot , as shown in images below Cole’s analysis (physical touch)
Nya isn’t as verbal or touchy as her brother, and so she’s definitely Acts of Service and Gift Giving. We see this throughout the seasons as Nya constantly helps the Ninja in the beginning by monitoring missions and aiding them through technology, making their missions smoother and easier. And in the later seasons, she could finally help them in person, since she became the water ninja
Now Nya always gifted the Ninja mechs, bikes, gadgets, you name it. I think this habit of hers could be considered both gift giving and acts of service. She tends to do it throughout the entire show, from giving them mechs to climb that mountain to get to the blinds man eye, to all sorts of other stuff the team required.
I do strongly believe the reason why both the smith siblings have acts of service as a love language is because when growing up they didn’t really have anyone else to do it for them. Nya most likely as a child probably made small gadgets for kai as to show him that she loves him, and that gradually continued to the other ninja as well.
However, when nya is on the receiving end, I think she loves physical touch and words of affirmation. This is proven since whenever kai and jay are verbal with her, she always has a positive reaction. Same when Kai and jay respond to her with physical touch- she doesn’t mind it, and happily responds to it as well.
Jay definitely has three love languages: words of affirmation, quality time, and physical touch (mostly revolving around nya)
Jay is extremely verbal when it comes to Nya, saying he loves her multiple times throughout Ninjago, similar to Kai. However, unlike Kai, who tends to do this to all the ninja, Jay usually focuses on Nya when it comes to verbal expression and words of affirmation. Telling her how they were meant for each other, regularly complimenting her, etc.
As shown above and below, Jay is also very physical with mainly Nya, kissing her on the cheek quite frequently and dancing with her on various occasions. He loves spending time with her, preferring to go on missions with her than anyone else (as shown in the show, and that's why his analysis is mainly jaya lol)
Jay, when on the receiving end, also loves the same things. He gets extremally happy when Nya responds back to with the same actions. The biggest proof of this is how jay unlocked his true potential: Nya states that she doesn’t need Jay to wear any clothes or pretend to be anything he’s not, because she liked him for being him then proceeded to kiss him on the cheek, which led to Jay turning back human. Afterwards, Nya tells him, “You are the best You,” and with this, Jay unlocks his true potential.
This tells us a lot about how heavily Jay takes Nya’s words, and how much words of affirmation can inspire/motivate him, so much to the point where he unlocked his true potential!
Zane’s love languages are probably: quality time and acts of service, with a side of words of affirmation. This applies to both when he shows affection, and how he likes when he receives affection.
Zane has shown multiple times to enjoy spending time with the team. Three examples of this are when he was escaping Chen with Cole (that was fun), when Zane had fun throwing rocks at Kai when Kai become chancellor (guys that was hilarious.) , and WHEN HE AND PIXAL BECAME ‘DETECTIVES’ GUYS THAT SCENE WAS THE BEST
(Also, Zane is sometimes shown to be physical too, as shown here. However the other love languages I stated seem to be more primary outlets of how he expresses affection, this scene still was too cute not to share)
Zane also cooks for the team on multiple occasions, and its stated/implied that everyone loves his cooking. He also bravely sacrificed himself for the Ninja , and as I stated before, protection is an act of service. He also is willing to do any favors the ninja ask him too, and never really turns them down, and that's very sweet. Zane has literally never been ‘rude’ to anyone.
Zane also tends to reassure others, however unlike Cole/Kai he does so in a more logical way. He states facts about his reassuring statements, and I think that’s an important part of who he is. His interactions with Pixal are also very cute, and I love their dynamic sm.
Lloyd montgomery garmadon. I strongly believe that our boy loves all sorts of affection, since he was deprived of any as a child ): However, throughout the show I believe his ‘giving’ love language is: words of affirmation, and acts of service.
We see Lloyd frequently uplifting the Ninja (he is the leader after all), when they ‘lost’ zane, he reunited the ninja that left, he tried to reassure kai that even without his powers he was important, and he warned cole abt vania (this is an act of service I think? Lloyd wanted to protect cole from being betrayed from a princess like he was and he had good intentions. I think what he did was sweet)+ and various more examples that im sure you are all aware of.
His words of affirmation is not limited to the ninja, for example: when they ‘lost’ zane, he reunited the ninja that left, he led the Elemental Masters + Serpentine against Chen in the Second Serpentine War and encouraged them all, led the resistance, etc etc. These actions can also be counted as acts of service too. After all, he leads them and creates plans for them too.
When receiving, I think Lloyd reacts positively to physical affection (like above) and also words of affirmation. He is definitely touch-starved and doesn't mind hugs at all (he loves them in fact). And, words of affirmation are great to Lloyd too, a prime example of this is Kai comforting Lloyd on multiple occasions and Nya doing the same. Kai and Nya both promised to protect Lloyd, and always be there for him, and said so verbally. You could see how it impacted Lloyd, reassuring him and helped him regain confidence.
I also think he loves quality time as well, since he loved spending time with his dad, talking with him, and training with him. I love their interactions and it really shows how much Lloyd values his dad, despite everything.
phew that was long.. thanks for sticking with me
can you do an analysis on how each ninja fights??
YES!!! btw this isnt just from my head, this is from a person who binged ninjago 50+ times and has been watching it since she was 3. i have watched it enough to come up with an analysis i promise
Although he’s decently skilled at it , Cole does not like far ranged combat - its not his strongest suit. Mainly because he doesn't like far ranged weapons. However, when this type of combat is needed, he simply chucks boulders at whoever needs to be taught a lesson.
Cole is definitely the king when it comes to hand-to-hand combat. His strong body structure (awesome muscular build) enables him to throw harder punches, and on top of that he has his super strength that gives every hit he throws an added bonus (enemies really be flying all over the place when this kid fights). You can try to throw a punch at him but it would be like punching a brick wall. Cole is also a very powerful ‘kicker’, and has an excellent defense. Cole uses scythes/war hammers as his default weapons, and could use other weapons such as the ‘morning star'(yk, the big huge weapons with spikes on them, like the chain connected to a huge spiky ball. that would be so cool). Also, he could probably slay with gauntlets. Like cmon. Cole is able to use heavier weapons and hit harder because when it comes to physical strength, he surpasses all the ninja.
However, he is a tad little slow due to his size, but his skull breaking punches make up for it and more. He uses his elemental powers to his advantage, also throwing small but dangerous rocks at his enemies in between his punches, and sometimes finishing them off with a boulder punch ( a punch + a boulder. boulder punch. its super effective). Cole is normally extremely patient but on the battlefield he simply prefers facing enemies head on. He still observes them and make’s sure to know what he’s getting himself into. Not the most analytical in the team, but he certainly isn't lacking much in that department.
He works the best with all ninja, but especially well with Kai and Jay, since they compensate for his ‘slower’ attacks. Also, yk the small and tall fighting methods... (big uses hands and throws small in the air, small jumps of off big’s back, etc ) gotta love em. With jay, he’s more on defense to keep jay’s back covered. When cole is fighting with kai its like Cole trying to minimize a feral cats damage while also trying to maximize the feral cats damage ( hint: kai is the feral cat).
Nya is the Queen when it comes to hand-to-hand combat. She also has a strong body structure, similar to Cole, and so she also throws some nasty punches. Although she doesn’t have super strength like Cole, to make up for it she fights in smooth yet harsh motions, using water to disrupt the enemies movements/slow them down so she can pinpoint their weak areas and break their noses. She is the queen after all.
Her default weapon is a spear, bc she likes to use pole-like weapons. Pole-like weapons such as spears and lances allow Nya to thrust forward with them, and have a long distance they can cover without having to actually stand far, unlike far-ranged weapons. This goes well with her water powers as water hits harder with increased pressure and is able to take any form. Nya could probably work well with whips too, or like form water whips. That would be cool.
She doesn’t like far ranged combat simply because its ‘boring’ for her.
Nya is a little faster than Cole, but she still isn't the fastest (more about that below). She tends to analyze enemies before attacking, or analyze them while attacking. Either works! She also tends to outsmart her enemies by appearing weaker than she looks, or looking at their fighting style and then adapting a counter-style (water is adaptable, after all).
Nya also works well with all the ninja. However she works best with Kai, Jay, and Zane. With Kai and Jay its also the small-tall method (Nya’s taller than both). With Jay and Zane she has elemental reactions, since water and lighting are more effective together (shock shock shock + more shocks) also they have chemistry + nya helps zane freeze at larger capacities, also both are super smart and are good at strategies. With kai, nya just works well . yk. reading eachother with simple glances. when together enemies being devoured within seconds. destroying whoever hurt the other. fun!
Jay is not the best at hand to hand combat, but as a ninja he is obviously still not someone to be taken lightly. He cant throw hard punches, but he can throw fast punches. Lightning is not a slow force, after all! Jay may not be excelling in physical strength but he is arguably the fastest ninja.
His size also gives him an advantage, since he’s not heavy or tall, he’s able to double his speed and rapidly attack his enemies. He tends to tire out his enemies first, using speed and swiftly strikes them with lightning to take them down. You think he’s teleporting? Nah he’s just hella fast dude
Jay isn't very ‘analytical’ but does very well with limited materials; he can invent/create something that can get them out of any sticky situation, not quite perfect yet very effective! This is a skill that is unique to him, as he invents best with scarce materials.
Jays' default weapon is nun chucks. He doesn't really like any other weapons. He loves metal nun chucks because remember, metal conducts electricity. He can simply use them as a weapon, and then use his powers and so the whoever he hits the nun chuck weapon with ( or any metal weapon really) would get a hard electric shock. Ouch. He would also do really well with Chakrams (if ur too lazy to google it, they are circular weapons- kinda like circular boomerangs with sharp edges. ). Doesn't mind far range combat, and isn't bad at it either. He has no preference, as long as he gets to work with nya LOL
Jay works well with all ninja, especially with nya (reasons stated above) and works well with cole (also stated above).
Zane is good in hand-to-hand combat, and his punches hurt quite a lot ( he has metal hands, after all). He would be ranked second when it comes to hard punches, very close after Cole and Nya. His body structure... is... well... metal.
His defense is the best out of all the ninja mainly because who would wanna punch a tin can (its certainly do able, but boy it hurts). Zane tends to do 100% analytical fighting, he estimates the enemies moves and studies how they fight. He is the most analytical fighter.
His moves are careful and calculated. He takes the next course of action based on statistics. However, this sometimes does not work when it comes to ambushes, or unexpected fights as there is no time to observe or estimate. That’s all right though, because Zane isn't entirely dependent on this, as he does have his powers to slow/freeze enemies down.
You wanna know how many enemies are left? Ask Zane, he can scan the area. You wanna know an enemies weak point? Dw, Zane can scan it for you. Thanks Zane!!!
Zane excels in mid/far ranged combat- he’s the best ninja for the job. His default weapons are shuriken's and bows, after all. He has the patience for it, and has excellent aim. If the ninja had guns, he would be a dangerous sniper.
Zane works well with every ninja, but has an advantage working with Nya (as stated before) and Pixal
Kai is similar to Jay when it comes to hand-to-hand combat. He can throw punches, but cannot throw hard punches (he was trained to be a blacksmith though, so I’d say he’s a little behind zane). But he is extremely fast, closely second to only Jay. His biggest advantage in hand-to-hand combat is agility. Kai is the most agile ninja, and his immense flexibility (he is also most flexible) gives him an upper hand in many situations. He also has the best reflexes ; his nimble moves make him a hard target. You wont see a ninja ur gonna see a gymnast. A gym-ja.
Zane and Nya are the best logical planners, but logical plans need time and observation. Kai excels the most when faced with ambushes or fast-paced situations ; he’s always on his toes and his impulsivity becomes beneficial, since he takes quick action and takes advantage of chances that the other’s would never have noticed. He’s also as astute as Nya and Zane, just in a less logical, and in a more of a crafty way. He isn’t a patient fighter though, so he sometimes gets himself into... situations.
His default weapons are sword/katanas, and he uses them as an extension of himself; the best swordsman on the team. What’s that? You want kai to do far-ranged combat? Bestie, for kai, far ranged combat is just throwing fireballs from a distance. You might as well throw bombs at ur enemies. Kai doesn't do well with far-ranged weaponry. If Kai had short ranged-pistols, like one on each hand (like Jinx from Arcane or Kiana from Honkai Impact) he would also reign supreme.
Kai works well with all ninja, especially with Nya (stated above) , Cole (also stated above) , and Lloyd (lloyd works really well with every ninja, but he has patience and he helps kai think things through).
thats it for now! i’ll reblog and include lloyd in this after part two of s16 comes out, bc i wanna add his “oni-style”
Each of the ninja experience some sort of telling sign when some natural occurance to their element is taking place in Ninjago. For example when there are upcoming ice/snowstorms Zane tends to have minor malfunctions and or freezes up. For Cole rockslides or earthquakes tend to give him hardcore headaches/make him super unbalanced at times. When there’s a fire related threat or a volcanic eruption Kai tends to feel more warm or hot than usual and it really makes him angry cause heat usually never bothers him. When there’s a lightning storm it’s harder for Jay to contain himself. Depending on the size of the storm and how frequent the lightning is it could really be a huge factor in how hyper he is. Nya’s power relays a lot on emotion. If a rain storm is coming she tends to be very calm and peaceful but if it’s a hurricane or something dangerous she’s very hot headed and irrational at times and it makes it a bit hard on the team during missions. I don’t have anything for Lloyd as of yet though...oh well. (Just random thoughts I had cause it’s a-storming here)
MORE ninjas? yeah.
why do i keep drawing them shirtless? i don’t even know.

COLE J. BROOKSTONE
Cole Jurian Brookstone
Trans, gay
Lilly Brookstone
Lou Hence
Is secretly Wu's favorite (I don't make the rules)
After becoming human again, Cole was able to see (specifically out of his left eye) and hear ghosts ; sometimes he accidentally ignores his friends thinking they're the local ghost milkman
His sclera is greener since being a ghost
Water lowkey hurts; has to Cole MacGrath his bathing habits
After using the Spinjitzu Burst, the scars on his arms became permanent
Has a second mentor in Yang; dabbles a bit in dark magic and still uses airjitzu; isn’t negatively affected by it due to his time as a ghost
Becomes Arin's second semi-mentor following the kid's interest in utilizing Shatterspin (i haven’t seen s2pt2 yet)
Should he die of any unnatural reason, he will become a ghost and can (hopefully) restore his physical body
Scars easier
Following the events of Way of the Departed, the scar on his face spread to his chest; it also turned orange
(50/50) After March of the Oni, Cole became a living Realm Crystal as he had close contact with the Rift of Return (and Way of the Departed stuff) and the previous Realm Crystal was destroyed (with heavy restrictions, of course- can't make him too OP); he forgets he can do it half the time as it's not something he's particularly happy about
Oftentimes visits his dad to make up for lost time
Purposefully makes himself seem like a bad singer and (especially) dancer; he's actually pretty decent (y'all ever seen Falling For Ya from Teen Beach Movie? he would rock the shit out of that)
At some point, he moves to Shintaro to settle down
Owns two Maine Coons and a Great Dane back home
Beginning with Cole's grandfather, a curse of incurable via modern medicine sickness plagued his family- there is a cure (it won't affect the next generation), but all the ingredients are scattered across the realms - (explained better, modern illness that just simply is incurable with modern medicine- got the flu because of the curse? tough luck; medicine won't help)
His room in the Monastery is covered in paintings- he even has his own storage full of them
Naturally good with kids (this one is canon but I want to remind everyone of it)
A lot of his close friends are women- after Jay, Seliel is his bestie
He has an everlasting lily flower on his dresser; it shines in the sunlight; it makes him feel a mother's love and safety
Has a tendency to try to solve problems on his own (I.E., Way of the Departed); hides things about himself from the others (I.E., seeing ghosts and being a Realm Crystal)
Has a single fang from being a ghost
Heavyweight (alcohol)
Colorblind (deuteranopia) (after becoming a ghost, it shifts more to where he sees more green than red (is that how deuteranopia works i don't know the specifics of colorblindness :c )
Spends Day of the Departed with his dad, but visits his mom in the last hour
Favorite flowers are lilies
JAY C. WALKER
Jason "Jay" Collin Walker / Jason "Jay" Arc Gordon
Bisexual

His blood is a better conductor than water
Lightning scars on the right side of his body; scar from Nadakhan on his left eye
Partially blind in the left eye
He will forever have that eyebrow notch- I will die on this hill
Always wears his ring as even if it breaks or he loses it, he can use his lightning to fix/retrieve it (I am a bruiseshipper; therefore, you guess who he's married to)
After Prime Empire, he's able to transport himself into video games (he cheats in games a lot because the other ninja refuse to attack him since it'd actually hurt him; after a particular streak of cheating the ninja opted for board games only for a period of time [a whole year])
He can travel through electrical currents as long as there is an opening- if there's rubber or any good insulator, he can't enter or leave the current (they have slightly cut open the wires in the Monastery for this reason)
Some remnants of the time he was snake are still present- he sheds skin and like to prank the others with it; has fangs and a slight venomous bite (if he so chooses, which he rarely does; does the amount of damage as coming down with a perpetual cold); tongue is slightly forked; lisps a little leading up to the shedding period
ZANE JULIEN
Zane Julien
Straight, demi/greysexual
Victor Julien
In the early days, Zane's ice powers would get clogged in his arms when used; later, in his titanium body, small heaters and proper water disposals were installed

Found and fixed the falcon- they have a connection; should something happen to Zane, he will automatically switch his conscious over to the Falcon- his eyes in the skies
Spends Day of the Departed in Birchwood Forest, meditating in his old home
Likes lighting incense sticks and candles- the Monastery always smells nice
When "sleeping" he reads himself bedtime stories in his head
His room is the coldest in the Monastery,

After Crystalized, he has a Dragon tail
Has wings post Crystlized; doesn't know how to use them and is too scared to try
Has sharper teeth via Dragon and Oni blood
Eyes used to be red, but are now green following his true potential (return to [dark] red in the moments in the show where his eyes are black)
Blood is red normally, purple when oni powers are in use, gold when dragon powers are in use

a single person said no so i’m gonna drop some stuff abt them rq then go to sleep
anyway! (also, synthia’s design isn’t really final,, i haven’t had the time to go back and tweak it- will likely replace the above image at a later date to be more accurate; and the thing on opals shoe is supposed to be white)
reason they don’t have earth and lightning is 1) i am too attached to cole and jay and 2) by the time opal and synthia’s powers were supposed to be realized, the merge happened, which created new elemental powers (the reason and elements are cringe and stupid i know but listen i came up with it on a whim,,)
also ignore any timeline weirdness i do not care enough
OPALINE “OPAL” LILLY WALKER:
- master of magma (i changed it)
- was ten when the merge happened; ended up in the crossroads alone; was fourteen when she met arin and sora
- actual besties with lloyd (he’s so relieved to find her post-merge)
- wears cole’s denim jacket all the time
- adds a drop of lava to her coffee
- was named after a brave little girl cole met during a disaster in ninjago city
- resting bitch face just like cole; has piercings almost just like him too
inherited from cole: single fang, ghost scar (on back), hair color, eyebrows, lip, face shape
inherited from jay: hair texture, freckles, eye shape, nose
mix of both: skin color, eye color
personality + traits! stubborn, innovative, foodie, confident
SYNTHIA LIBBER BROOKSTONE:
- master of crystal
- doesn’t really like using her powers bc she blames them for her lack of genuine connections and she just wants to be “normal” (y’all ever heard of rose winters¿)
- the “born from a well” was from an re8 au i made (which is why they were made in the first place lol),, in normal canon she was not born from a well i promise
- ended up in shintaro after the merge; loves their kingdom and way of living; but she doesn’t understand her powers or have much control over them so she avoids the mines
- probably has adhd
- synthia because synth ig idk jay named her
inherited from cole: ghost scar (above her left eye), nose, face shape, eye shape, skin color
inherited from jay: hair texture, eyebrows, two fangs (they are very small though + no venom)
mix of both: hair color, eye color
personality + traits! stubborn, socially inept/naive, lively/peppy, loud, super insecure
that’s uhhhh all i got rn if people end up caring about these two losers (affectionate) i might write more stuff with them + questions are always welcome
would it be cringe if i told you i made fankids for jay and cole
old vs new 🖤💙

I’m new to tumblr ;-; hello peoples
gaymer plasma gaymer plasma gaymer plasma g-
This is so corny and probably unrealistic but hear me out. I really want jay to get his memories back in small chunks (particularly the bad ones, since I think they carry the most weight, especially for Jay,) but he doesn’t tell any of the ninja abt it bc he doesn’t fully trust they’re real memories and he’s not ready to accept that the others weren’t lying.
I think this would be after restoring his goodness but that’s a lot harder to predict, so I think it would be cool if it was a healing process and also happened over time.
It would be a mix of healing his goodness, but also discovering more and more of the traumas he’s been put through, like he’s supposed to be getting better because of his soul healing, but it’s conflicting with the struggle of gaining his old memories (bad experiences + guilt and all that.)
Idk, seems interesting

Excuse me, please tell me that I'm not the only one who looks at these screenshots and sees this little idiot as some kind of lightning-shooting bat pup?
You know, if I had a cent for every character of my current obssession who wear's blue as the main color of their clothing, is (one of the) protagonists and goes throught about of the worsts trauma that their creators could have think about... I would have three cents.
Which is not much.
But it's curious that have happened three times.
I had a dream last night.
It was Kai adopting a pack of at least 10 kittens and taking them to the Monastery. He declared himself the "Father of Cats" and now the ninjas would just have to deal with it.
Lloyd and Cole were exasperated, Nya just stared at him and rubbed her temples as if to say "unbelievable, but I'm still not surprised", Zane was a little confused and Jay just happily embraced his new "kitty uncle" destiny. The end of the dream was Jay and Kai sitting on the couch playing video games with the kittens around. It was adorable.
Incorrects Prompts with Evil!Jay, but he's with the ninja team again.

Lloyd: You just killed five men, what do you have to say for yourself?!
Jay: ... Oops?
╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺
Jay: Well, this is a change of scenery.
Cole: It's a prison cell.
Jay: I was being sarcastic.
╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺
Jay: Where's the idiot, anyway?
Cole: I'm right here.
Jay: Surprisingly, I'm not talking about you.
╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺
Zane: You really think that this will work?
Jay: No, not at all.
Kai: Then why the heck are we doing it?!
Jay: It sounded funny.
Lloyd: We're all gonna die.
╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺
Jay: I fell like I'm forgetting something.
Sora: Morals, probaly?
Jay: No, it's something important.
Geo: You have forget Nya at the store.
╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺
Nya: One of these days, your smart mouth is going to get you stabbed.
Jay: Pff... As if I haven't been stabbed before.
╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺
Random Criminal: You're quit confident for a man with over 20 guns pointed at their head.
Jay: And you're a terríble shot. Given you trained the other men, there's not much to worry over.
╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺
Jay: Do you trust me?
Wyldfyre: No!
Jay: Smart kid.
╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺
Nya: You know I'll win.
Jay: You know I'll fight.
╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺
Cole: Could you at least try to be nice?
Jay: You're still breathing. That's me being fucking nice, asshole.
╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺
Bonzle: Hey, where's your girlfriend?
Jay: She's not my girlfriend.
Bonzle: Have you told her that?
╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺
Nya: Why are you staring at me?
Jay: I'm hoping you spontaneously combust.
╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺
Kai: Ok, what did we have done?
Jay: What do you mean?
Cole: You are staring at us like you want to rip our head off.
Jay: Well, I'm sorry, but that's just how my face works.
╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺
Zane: Are you there?
Jay: Physically yes. Mentally? Is debatable.
╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺╺
Jay: No offense, but I can't decide between wanting to kick your ass or kissing you.
Nya: ... Honestly I prefer taking the kiss.
(I have nothing better to do, English class is boring)
It's a normal day for Lloyd. He's been receiving looks of mockery and fear from the moment he leaves home until he gets to school, Chen and his friends are teasing him as usual, and his ninja friends are fine. Zane with his usual weird and robotic ways, Cole quiet with his headphones blasting music, Kai and Nya acting like the older siblings that he never had.
And just like any other normal day, Garmadon attacks the city just before lunch time.
Lloyd and the others escape from class, put on their gis, grab their mechas, and head into battle. At first, nothing inusual happens. Lloyd orders his team to take on Garmadon's fleet of marines while he goes after Lord Shark himself. He easily finds him walking in his ridiculous shark mecha towards the mayor's building to take control of Ninjago City,they exchange some heated words and Lloyd is one step away from shooting missiles at his father. Is it his impression or his father is acting more annoying than usual?
Suddenly, Lloyd — or rather, the Green Ninja — is grabbed and thrown off his dragon and — holy crap, THERE IS FRICKING A KUSARIGAMA PRESSED TO HIS NECK.
A dark blue-gloved hand gripping the weapon's handle catches Lloyd's attention, only then does he look at his attacker, who is probably one (lucky) of his father's thousand seafood generals—
... Okay, so he's not wearing some ridiculous sea animal costume, he's actually dressed like a ninja. A black gi with varying shades of blue, some silver details and a single orange cloth underneath the outfit. The only sign of skin that Green sees is in the eye space of the mask. A patch of pale skin is decorated with a some visble freckles that are beneath electric blue eyes filled with determination.
Green hears Garmadon let out that annoyingly evil laugh and he sees the Oni approaching, only then does he realize that the guy who caught him off guard must be another one of Garmadon's soldiers, just with a better fashion style.
Garmadon steps down from his mecha and walks over to stand behind the evil ninja, smirking at the scene before him with malice and... Pride? Why isn't he giving that arrogant and mean face he gives to his normal soldiers?
"Very good move, my son."
Lloyd feels his breath catch and he is sure that this only sentence makes all of Ninjago stop moving.
"S-... Son?!" Green repeats, looking from the boy to Garmadon and back again. The Oni just laughs at his reaction.
"Oh yeah, I never brought him to our previous battles, so you guys never had the chance to meet each other." His father approaches the other Ninjac— his supossed brother — and places two hands on his shoulders, the other two behind his back. "Green Ninja, I want you to meet my son, the Lightning Ninja." Garmadon's sharp, toothy smile was fearsome. "Or Sparky for those close to him." He added, dropping his shoulders and patting the Blue one on the head.
For a moment, the three of them just stood there. Green with his throat at the mercy of Blue's curved blade while his father smiled maliciously. It was a tense moment, just like those in movies where the hero faces the villain after he makes his big revelation, and It was that's what it looked like, with Lloyd staring at his father in disbelief and confusion while Garmadon himself began to laugh uncontrollably.
That's when a throat clearing sound caught their attention.
"Dad, with all due respect, I understand that this is a tense moment and all, but did you realize that the rest of the Ninjas are destroying the fleet and that Cyan and Red are coming with everything on this way, right?"
Indeed, Nya and Kai's war screams sound in the distance.
Something, something I got bored again.
Guys hear me out we shouldn’t have Nya dying again.
Now don’t get me wrong I love the idea of Jay “accidentally” killing her (or just injuring her severely) as kind of a trifecta of times Nya has died. however. what I wanna see more is Jay dying because Nya either does not realise it’s him and thus doesn’t hold back, or she does and overestimates how well he can still fight. Maybe I just want to see Jay’s life force leaving in Nya’s arms for once yk
