✨Spicynoodles Bio Parents AU Q&A! 20/07✨

Welcome to the Q&A! A space where I can answer related or similar question about the Shadowpeach/Spicynoodles Bio Parents AU! if your question is not here, worry not! Your asks might have been used for a future comic or just in the queue~

@boonalina ha chiesto: So I know you're changing the lore a bit to fit the Spicynoodles Bio Dad's au. Sooo how does Nyad the water spirit fit into it? Is there gonna be some twist that Nyad is actually from the Monkie Kid world? Cuz the show implied that Nyad is Nya's ancestor. So is Nya's biological "father" related to Nyad the water spirit?

no, to keep the Ninjago canon, Nyad is still Nya's "ancestor" in the way they are the biological ancestor of Maya, since Nyad is connected to the elemental element of water.

@mystic-croissant2 ha chiesto: The world needs to know! Is Lavashipping/Kai x Cole canon?

I aint the official Ninjago writer sorry to tell you

@hazlewolf-43 ha chiesto: I've always been interested in Lego Ninjago ever since I was a kid and then somewhere between 2020 and 2023 got into Lego monkie kid, so having my two favorite Lego shows combined like this makes me very excited! Also your art is phenomenal and your story telling for your comics is just out of this world!!!!

thank you!

@fancycat-thesilvertux ha chiesto: I love that Kai’s fire is starting to glitch into chaos from how it looks like! Reminded me of when MK used chaos energy - those were some really cool panels btw! Not that all your panels aren’t cool, but those specifically to me were tier in a way I can’t really explain but still ultimately love. Speaking of, which was your favorite comic panels to work on for your AU(s)?

I think the Spicynoodle kiss! it' s not my favourite panel, but it's the one I liked the most drawing

@baitao-daughter-of-monkey-king ha chiesto: Okay I gotta know…will we see Little Apricot in the SpicyNoodles Bio Parents AU? Maybe a cameo? Only curious that’s all lol

maybe

@asherfox ha chiesto: How does the goblin looks like? 😭 Does kai's horns going to keep growing? Or like, it finished its growth. Also I really love your art!! 😔❤

the goblin is a irl friend of mine that sometimes when I'm tired I ask him to answer some ask for me for fun (he doesn't know anything about LMK or Ninjago)

No Kai horns are mostly matured.

@elenaprime6 ha chiesto: Will we see the parents' p.o.v in the Spicynoodles Bio-Parents Au? And Will Mei be joining Red & MK when they arrive at the realm? Since Nya is her daughter...

yes we will see the Spicynoodles POV.

@92darkdragon ha chiesto: Question for the Spicy noodle bio AU: does Kai remember or would remember pigsy's cooking?

I think he would. Taste it's the one out of the 5 senses we remember the most. He probably wouldn't remember that it was Pigsy who made them at first but he would remember the flavour.

@anidiotkid ha chiesto: I love your comics so much and especially the continuation as of now with the bio-parents au! I haven't seen Ninjago since I was a kid- and I'm tempted to rewatch the show! (also you comics drop on the days that I have work, so it's like a nice little treat every time I clock out ^^)

Thanks! the comic updates are also one of those things that I look forward to every 2/3 days.

@kc-krazycat ha chiesto: Okay so, since you're focusing more on the spicynoodles au now, would it be okay if I explored little yuebei's story a bit more in comic form as long as I @ you?

yea sure

@l4yl6 ha chiesto: Hey kyri !!! How are you doing ?? I just wanted to ask a question for the Spicynoodle bio parents AU You know there's a lot of head cannons about the ninjas heigh. Like Cole or/and Zane are the tallest, Kai is after them, Nya and/or Jay are a tiny bit shorter than Kai but still are tall and Lloyd is either the shorter of the group or the tallest (because of his oni blood I think) Knowing that when in bull form (Let's call it that) Redson is taller and all, are you going to make Kai on a grow spurt too ?

Oh that's an interesting one! Yes he would, but rather than a spurt, is more like his extra height is hidden by the glamour, just like Red Son

@loseranddummy ha chiesto: how old is Kai in this au?

21/22

@lumayre ha chiesto: I wanted to ask There won't be any more lmk shadowpeach comics or about the little comet? Love the stuff you got going, I just wanted to make sure!

No I will draw more of Yuebei

@weirdestarrow ha chiesto: I adore how you draw the ninjago guys it’s peak I can’t describe it but it feels so right

thanks!

@copseiva ha chiesto: I am curious, if Spicynoodles Bio Parent AU going to have any ship, especially any ship with Kai is he gonna experience the whole demon courting thing??? Had he ever experienced wanting to court (*cough* kidnap *cough*) anyone before, but because there was no one to explain this to him, he just pushed this as weird intrusive thoughts 🤔

we probably wont have time for any ship unfortunately (apart from spicynoodles of course)

@pan-roses ha chiesto: Hi Kyri!! Been reading since the very beginning of ShadowPeach Bio comic. You have been keeping me going in these trying times (waiting for season 6). My question is; How long do you foresee SpicyNoddles bio kid au to be? You mentioned in a post you have future scenes that excite you and will keep you going for a few months (which is awesome, I'm so glad you are enjoying your amazing story!!)

I have 3 Acts planned, I don't know how much each arc will be long though

@lilith0908 ha chiesto: Hello!! Hope you're having a wonderful day just wondering, how's our favorite apricot doing in this new timeline? I bet she's practically like MK really :)

she is a little like MK, but she's also very much her own person, a little bit more similar to Macaque in term of personality.

@lotus-doodles-04 ha chiesto: Hello! Where in the ninjago series does you comic takes place in? I’ve been thinking of rewatching the series! I love your art!

Post Season 3 of Dragon Rising, I mean a endinf where they already defeated the main villain (S3 hasn't ended yet, but the setting is that)

@ourasriel ha chiesto: Have you seen the ninjago: monstrosity special? I think that it was very cool! Another question, does Kai and Nya have the elemental power or it come from their biological parents? If they don't, I guess that there must be a master of fire and water elsewhere in Ninjago, or Maya and Ray. Or maybe their arrival in the ninjago world made them the new statu quo for the fire and water powers. Anyways, I ABSOLUTLY love your works, you're amazing and do wathever you want :D!

Yes I saw Monstrousity. Most of their fire/water powers come from Ninjago elemental powers previous holders (maya and ray)

@nica0509 ha chiesto: Hello. Ask out of curiosity. Why is MK called Xiaotian? I've seen other artists or fanfic writers call it that, where did they get the name?

it's his name in the chinese dub

@twilight-bai-he ha chiesto: So in spicynoodles and Shadowpeach couples which one is the better ice skater in each.

Macaque and MK

@shadowlilly101 ha chiesto: Would Kai have both monkey and bull traits or just bull traits?

both

@lordtraco ha chiesto: Found you from LMK, tripped and fell into ISAT canyon from your comics, now peeking into a cave labeled "Ninjago! Has Mei child AND a spicynoodles child!" Soooo I gotta ask, on a scale of one to LMK Season 5, how much is this lego show going to make me cry? Because I like angst :3

while the ShadowPeach Bio Parents AU was more like 50% a slice of life story and 50% an Endgame 4 Arcs finale, this one will be structured more like a 3 acts movie. So like- i don't know honestly I haven't cried yet, I did thought jumped around the house with the energy of a super sayan from the excitement of some scenes

@kingofendlessdc ha chiesto: Do you know if there’s a way LMK could actually do a crossover with another Lego show? Since LMK is an adaptation. Because if I didn’t know any better I would say that ninjago and LMK are prepping for a crossover, both shows have cracks through the universe and chaos energy. Like what are the odds of that?

idk man i don't even know if there will be a S6 but there are 3 undiscovered realms in the Ninjago universe after the merge.

@jackwhitecat22 ha chiesto: Hey! First things first, i LOVE your art and your histories in this AU. You do such an amazing drawing. And now, my question is. In your Spicynoodles Au, Is MK also a shadowpeach bio child in this AU? If it is, does it mean that Kai could get any of Wukong or Macaque's powers?

Yes he is. Kai gets his powers mostly from the fire element and his parent though.

@someoneisherelol ha chiesto: Since Mei has the samadi fire (idk if I spelt that right) does that mean nya would inherit any of the samadi fire powers or even some of Mei's dragon powers along with nya already having her water powers?

no don't worry Nya doesn't has any samadi fire in her luckily.

@ejskelepun ha chiesto: 4 AM realization: The baby is an adult. Our little baby comet monkey would be an adult by the time of the SpicyNoodles AU. Oh fuck.

hehe yes

[ezevic-official]

im too lazy to clean this up. obligatory basegame + dlc slugcat redesigns, might do this for iterators too at some point

design notes/more in-depth descriptions under the cut if you care

survivor + monk: perfect, airbrushed specimens. i felt like them being kind of plain is somewhat the point so i didn't want to be too crazy with markings/changes, so i mostly gave them airbrushed patterning. survivor gets a couple of bonus scars and a slightly nubbier finger on the front right paw (that fall looked rough!)

monk is baby and mostly the same, though built smaller (i'm one of the believers that monk is adolescent) and given a karma flower. i know that karma flower monk is somewhat of a trope in redesigns but i think it's fitting.

hunter: same as siblings, i think the somewhat plain look is kind of the point. i did add a bunch of scars and a bitten off tail tip + a wide stripe on the back.

gourmand: the intention is a bear, but one of my friends called him a squirrel and i'm kind of obsessed with that? the patterning is just a lighter belly, i thought it would be too busy otherwise with other stuff. the changes include a flower necklace and a tummy pouch where gourm stores all the stuff that he can magically conjure up.

artificer: oh that's a nice kitty i say as i pet on kitty. no. i'm evil kitty.....

before i even got to drawing her i KNEW i wanted arti to have lynx ears really really bad. i also ended up making her a calico since it felt kind of appropriate, calicos almost entirely being female and all. it's not very noticeable but her burn mark also has a scar over it similar to hunter's. the spine is not super defined, but i imagine it's either rough fur or whatever the hell scavs have or maybe even spikes. like those caterpillars who have very small hairs that sting really bad when you brush on them.

rivulet: honestly, the ADHD creature was one of the more iconic designs to me that didn't need major tweaks. i mostly ended up messing around with the proportions, i ended up making the frills WAY larger and adding all sorts of additional fins everywhere so you can really understand why they named that thing ruffles. the patterning was fine as it is to me, however i did add a neon tetra-esque tripe along the sides. maybe it glows in the dark too but who knows. also there's gills now.

spearmaster: also one of the more iconic designs to me, but i did kind of wanted to take the idea and take it up a notch. ended up adding spines on the back and a face marking that parallels SRS's thing. honestly in hindsight i should've maybe done this to hunter and NSH as well. the ears have some spots at the tips, at one point i wanted to give spearmaster freckles or rosettes, but decided not to as it felt like too much

saint: probably the most anthropomorphized one here, i really wanted to make saint's attunement and "wrongness" compared to other slugcats obvious. honestly the design is not super different from canon, i added just a little bit of gold markings and wrappings on the limbs. they both mimic ancients and honestly could've been somewhat practical in the cold. the pearl necklace and small armband is also a nod to that. i drew saint a bunch of times for a secret project that'll come in handy later (maybe) (possibly) (if i ever finish it) and i noticed that my depictions were very fox-like, which wasn't entirely intentional but i believe it fits. it's not visible, but i like to think that in saint's ascended form the circle on their forehead with the three dots becomes the karma 10 symbol. i'm probably in the minority, but i don't really like ascended saint with a third eye, i don't know where did that come from...

inv/gorbo/sofanthiel/whatever: fun one! i really enjoy the way the community depicts this guy and how varied the designs are. i kind of liked the cartoony angle some people take, so inv in my take is permanently in the dead sprite mode. there's a bit of a mane at the back of the neck, though i don't think inv is super hairy like saint is. just something to look ~fancy~ trying to get someone's attention, perhaps. i do like the eye motif occasionally given to inv, so i incorporated that by adding rosettes on the back.

watcher: funnily enough i didn't play through the campaign myself when i drew this, though i was already familiar with the story and how it goes. i do believe that watcher is an echo, imo it fits thematically very well into the narrative around it, so there's a lot of gold elements in there. i like the odd effect watcher gains at high ripple levels, so i baked it in as well. the pose that i picked is kind of awkward, looking at it now, but the tail is meant to curl up similar to that of a chameleon's.

been playing a lot of mario galaxy recently (and by that i mean i played the entire game in two days). truly a testament to creativity in game design

[starflungwaddledee]

Oooo starstruck dee has little stars at the bottom of her feet! Are they just aesthetic or would they make imprints into the ground? (like pawprints)

exactly like that! though she's not the only one...

edit: might need to add some additional dialogue to this to make it more clear, but a clarification in the interim; he knows about his own footprints. he's just surprised to see something similar already there when he knows he's only just landed. he lifts his own shoe to confirm that they're not identical (and also to reveal this to the viewer). seems his stoicism beat off the clarity in this one, sorry 😭

[galactic-rhea]

Thoughts on Padmé x Anakin x Rex?

Padmé and Anakin are so mutually obssesed they would first have to check into that before trying to bring another person to their carefully-balanced-kind-of-damage or something it's going to explode.

Honestly it's a fun ship! But I don't have too many thoughts about them because when I consider them is usually in very low-stakes-fun-AU-scenarios.

And I'm actually a bit of a fan of Rexwalker myself! Athough I tend to like them more as very good buddies, the covering-for-you-dynamic it's so funny for them, lol It's also angsty and complicated because, y'know, the power-imbalance and unchecked trauma? Is funny that the clone that's actually a slave for the republic is the most normal if you bring him into the anidala romance circus.

Also shout out to @phoenixyfriend , she has a lot of rexanidala fics and recs for anyone interested reading this!
