Raine, penny for your thoughts on Wu?

That bastard old man? Insane that he never tells the ninja ANYTHING, always keeping insanely traumatic memories from them, fucking DESPISE him... he should have died back in the pilots i dont like how he told kai off that one time in season 1, 12 years ago.

🍀🧊🎹 for Robbie pls :3

THANK YOU FOR THE ASK! :3

what originally inspired the OC? well, i decided ramona was lonely and needed a roommate. and then robbie actually, i cannot describe this differently, appeared out of thin air. i kid you not, i just started drawing, and the character came to life as i did. i find more pieces of him every day

is their current design the first one? pretty much!i did draw him a college age design recently that's different from his current one, though!

do they have any hobbies? boy, oh boy, does he. he likes photography, painting, sleeping, playing the guitar, braiding hair, doodling, cooking, ... guess which of these he's good at

🍀 and ✨ for Kaito please!

Thank you for the ask!! *Cue long rant ahead*

Ask game

🍀-

Ok, so Kaito was actually originally a minifigure from Ninjago City Gardens by the same name:

The main reason as to why was because due to his fit, and the accessories he carried (a phone and suitcase) he kind of looked like an assassin. And that would fit the plot of Season 4 of my AU.

Of course, at the beginning, as the figure, he was a normal human guy. Then he started changing in my mind, going from being a robot to being this weird creature who's purpose was to kill Eclipse Borns.

And then, at some point, this reached a breaking point, and I split Kaito into two different characters. So we still had regular assassin human Kaito in the AU, but we now also had this new shiny and silver Kaito that is not human whatsoever, whose purpose is to prevent Eclipse Borns from existing.

Then, of course, there's also the reasoning within the AU itself for why this guy was created, being all the shit Hazza D'ur did in the AU serving as the perfect catalyst for someone deciding to create him.

✨-

As stated above, since Kaito used to be a minifigure and not an OC, he just kept the name.

Plus now there can be the joke of them both having the same name and both having the job of killing people. (Even though OC Kaito also has the title of The Elemental Killer, but come on, not everyone, especially the people you're working with, are going to call you that)

Plus within that joke there could also be the joke of one of them (probably minifigure Kaito because OC Kaito probably wouldn't let that stand) nicknaming themselves Kai for ease, just for more confusion to come when Kai the red ninja is fighting them and someone yells at Kaito as Kai.

4, 5, and 39 for the ask game please?

4. what’s an inside joke you have with your family or friends?

i have an inside joke with a friend i made in college that the building is powered by the soul of one of the previous presidents of the college (the nature of inside jokes means i can't find a way to describe this without it sounding incredibly dark so. there ya go)

5. what made you start your blog?

well this is currently my third tumblr account, having abandoned the previous two. i don't remember why i abandoned either of them, other than wanting a fresh start, but i have no plans to abandon this one any time soon! as for why i joined tumblr in the first place, after my brother and i got super into undertale, he showed me a fic on ao3 (the first fic i ever read!) and i started reading other fics, and some people linked their tumblrs in author's notes, and i got curious and decided to make an account

39. youtuber you’ve been obsessed with and why?

izzzyzzz makes awesome deep dive videos into old video games and niche online communities, both things i have an avid interest in. her videos are both funny and informative, and i am now burdened with knowledge of internet drama from ten years ago

[penofwildfire]

Send to 10 other bloggers you think are wonderful. Keep this going to make someone smile 💜

I got sent this a while ago and never got around to answering it but hi!!! Thank you!!!!!

[phibsies]

something me and my friend joked about back in february

[poolseason]

[NINJAGELION AU]

i've had this Ninjago x Evangelion/Mecha crossover au brewing in my head for years now, felt like revisiting it

Long post under the cut: Backstories, design notes and character lore

Mechs:

Unit-01 (WIP) : Lloyd's mech, supposed to resemble an Oni. It's primarily a dark purple with glowing green panels and orange accents, with 2 horn like antannae. It's 4 eyes are actually an LCD display. Unit-01's color scheme the same as from the source material, bc purple green and gold are plot relevant colors for Lloyd specifically. The weapons this unit uses are short-swords, plasma blasters, and it's bare fists(lol). This mech is prone to going berserk a lot, possibly due to it's pilot's mental instability.

(In NGE, the mech's are possessed by a spirit of their parents or loved ones, I'm indecisive on if Garmadon is the ghost in Lloyd's mech or Misako. Last time I was thinking about this au, Misako was possessing it, but i'm sort of leaning towards Garmadon again. idk idk.....)

Unit-02 (WIP): Built to resemble a samurai with dragon like elements that glow red. This mech is built for but land and undersea combat, making it the most versatile machine on the force. It's equipped with a retractable sword and an acid blaster. It's possessed by a former scientist named Nyad.

Pilots (and Cole):

Cole is a captain, (looking to be promoted to major) and is the head of the New Ninjago City base's combat division. He sort of a silly dude and while he takes his job really seriously, he's also prone to unprofessionalism. He personally oversees the pilots training and coaches them during fights. When Commander Garmadon and Assistant Head Wu refuse to take Lloyd in when he arrives at NNC, Cole decides to take the kid in himself and be the parental figure he doesn't have. Cole's got a complicated relationship with his own family, especially after his mother died saving him the Second Impact 20 years ago, now he vows to destroy all the darkness monsters that are invading.

Zane is sort of a mysterious guy. He's an artifical lifeform created specifically to pilot any mech but he usually fights in the prototype, Unit-00. Unit-01 doesn't seem to like him, and never responds to him. His suit is mostly grayscale, white armor, and light blue accents. His neural interface comes with a visor to help him see better. His primary relationships are Cole, Dr Pixal Borg, who is his personal doctor and (almost) confidant, Wu, who he has a father-son esque relationship with, and Lloyd his first true friend. He doesn't see much value in himself because he can always be replaced with a different copy, but his time with his friends starts to teach him otherwise

Nya and her supervising officer Kai are from Ignacia and joined the NINJA-go battle mech program through their connection with their parents, who were officers of the organization. But after a terrible accident following the Second Impact, they were left orphaned. Kai was too old to qualify as a pilot, but Nya was the perfect candidate. She began training at age 13, and became the strongest fighter on the force. Now at nineteen, the darkness monsters are now attacking and she (and her brother) are transferred to the New Ninjago City base, which seems to be the epicenter of the attacks, and now the the former solo-flyer has to learn to be a part of a team. She's a bit arrogant and prickly and a kindhearted friend to the other pilots, and she's got a bit of a crush on Junior Technician Jay Walker. Nya's suit design is definitely the most personalized primarily blue with grey, and darker blue and red accents with white armor, actually she ended looking a little like D.Va lol.

Lloyd, is the youngest pilot on the team now, but he's still a minor so he has to deal with the joys of school alongside his new life as a mech fighter. Having been unexpectedly summoned to Ninjago City by his estranged Uncle Wu and pressured into fighting the invading monster, Lloyd is apprehensive about his new double life, but this responsibility bestowed on him now means he now has friends and people who care about him, a far cry from the abusive boarding school he was abandoned at. Lloyd's a moody kid, with some anger issues and unresolved trauma at something terrible he witnessed when he was a young child, but he's also an empathetic kid who's willing to help everyone he meets. Lloyd has a sibling like rivalry with Nya, big brother(teetering on fatherly) relationship with Cole and Kai, a crush on the girl from school who punched him Akita, and really strained relationship with his parents and uncle. Beyond that he has a friendship with his mysterious colleague Zane that he doesn't really understand. Lloyd's suit is the most simple of the pilot suits, mostly green with white armor and gold accents. He didn't really think too much about it, other than asking Jay to make it green. His neural interface is also pretty simple, since he has an bizarrely high natural sync rate with his mech, which resemble little horns.

MISC Lore:

The second impact was an event where humanity fucked around and found out on the Dark Island and and entity called the Overlord awakened from hibernation, causing a near apocalypse that left Ninjago in an eternal heatwave. 20 years later these dragon-like monsters have started attacking trying to get to something being held deep below Ninjago City (source dragon? FSM as a dragon? firstbourne?? some kind of Dragon is under the base)

Zane promised Lloyd that he'll bring snowy winters back for him, and even though Lloyd thinks that was a rare moment of cheesiness from his friend, little did he know that Zane was going to cause an Ice Age during the climax.

Only people born after the second impact are viable candidates to pilot the NINJA mechs. When Kai learned of this he was furious that he couldn't be the one to avenge his family, and had to watch his sister fight and train instead. But in spite of his anger he made it a personal mission to get power in the organization and uncover the conspiracy behind the Second Impact and the attacking monsters.

Unit-00 is a prototype mech and isn't equipped for most combat scenarios, so Zane is primarily a long-range fighter and sniper. Zane might be replaceable to the force but Unit-00 isn't. Unit-00 was originally designed by Dr. Julien, but the man went mad and under mysterious circumstances, he was found dead inside it's entry plug alongside Zane's original iteration, Echo. After that incident, testing began on it, the original test pilot was a 24 year old, Morro, who was personally recruited by Wu, but the synchronization failed and disaster struck again, ending with Unit-00 going berserk, and another casualty. A similar incident happened with Zane, and later Lloyd, though they survive. Wu just needs to learn that Unit-00 really hates new pilots, and Zane is the only successful pilot for it.

Unit-01 is also a very testy machine, it only likes Lloyd, and goes berserk if it feels that Lloyd is in danger. Otherwise it doesn't respond to anyone else.

Cole and Kai might have hooked up in grad school, no one really knows for certain.

Pixal is the second Borg to join the organization, her father Cyrus Borg was one of the original researchers, and the person who designed the Geofront system that allowed the inhabited buildings in New Ninjago City to safely go underground and become a fortress on the surface. Pixal is more interested in the actual NINJA mechs and combat division research more than the civilian safety r&d, and she becomes the Head Scientist by the time the story begins.

Pixal the second in command to Cole, and her assistant is 23 year old genius Jay Walker, fresh out of an engineering degree and landed himself in the most insane secret government organization. Skylor and Dareth are the two other lead technicians. But Dareth's not too amazing at his job, admittedly.

The NINJA mechs aren't just machines,, they're enormous building sized cyborgs, and are actually alive creatures being held under armor. Unit-00 and 02 are cloned only from the dragon held under the Ninjago City base, but Unit-01 is cloned from the Overlord and the Dragon, making it a hybrid.

Throughout the story Cole and Kai begin to uncover a conspiracy orchestrated by the Commander and (reluctant accomplice Wu) and a mysterious council, with plans to destroy to world and rewrite reality, and for some reason Zane and Lloyd are at the center of it.
