If youre having a bad day just remember this is literally cole:

[destinysbounty]

Cole: how am I going to explain to my dad that I died?

Jay: bring some smelling salts... and a pillow! in case he faints.

Kai: no no no, just the smelling salts. the pillow will be too noticeable, he'll get suspicious.

Cole: I think he'll be suspicious when he notices that I'm transparent and green.

best genre of ninjago season is glacier doing stupid shit (s1, s4, s8, drs2)

the main interesting aspect of Arin's character to me is not so much that he is a frustrated, angry, and lonely person underneath a kind, friendly, and eager exterior. Rather its that he is all of these things in equal measure, but everyone around him (including the audience at first) isn't really privy to these "negative" traits, and sort of has been brushing his expression of them off as simple lack of self-confidence; a small blip in his inevitable hurdle towards self-actualization. I don't think anyone means anything bad by it, but I think everyone views Arin as such an inherintly good and talented person, that he doesn't feel comfortable truly expressing how lost he feels without his parents. The dissonance is coalescing within him, into a guilt at not being good enough to save his parents. That causes the encouraging words of his mentors and friends to feel more and more like a lie, and those friendly and kind traits that are inherint to his character, to feel like a weakness that isn't even being returned to him in kind.

Do you think Arin was enrolled in school before the Merge... did the Merge fuck up everything and he just went "nah fuck it I'm Not going back to school dawg"

If not gay, why the Rainbows? 🌈

Terrified by how this is gonna play out. Dragon/oni imagery in ninjago has famously always ended well for the characters involved.

a family tradition

[destinysbounty]

First Master of Spinjitzu first student was Nineko. Wu's first student was Morro. Lloyd's first student is Arin.

And the first two have something in common, they abandoned their teachers and became evil.

Nineko was an orphan who stole to survive until the First Master took her in and trained her. But when something was missing she blamed Nineko immediately, she assured that she didn't do it but they didn't believe her so she fled (or was expelled) from the monastery, years later being the main villain in one of the Spinjutzu Brothers books.

Morro, we all know his story. Orphaned boy from the streets that Wu took in at the monastery and trained him, things did not go well when destiny denied him being the green ninja so he fled to prove the opposite, years later returning from the dead to take revenge (and redeem himself). to the last second).

And then there is Arin, the orphan boy whose parents were taken from him by a "natural disaster" (can it be considered that way?) lost somewhere, living alone with his friend in a strange world until adolescence where he met his idol and who fell would become his teacher. He doesn't run away and turn evil like the other two, right?

Because something tells me that there is a pattern for the first students.

Nineko: I speak the truth. I didn't steal anything!...please trust me, I didn't do it.

Morro: Fate is wrong, I am the green ninja! You made me believe it!

Arin: But... you promised that we would find my parents.

I think Arin could fill the villain role or at least the resentful student vibe of the other two if you put him in the right situation.

Part of Arin's internal conflict is finding his parents, now, imagine that after the entire ninja team joins Lloyd leaves that issue a little aside, not because he doesn't care, he just doesn't realize it, plus he himself doesn't. He is necessarily close to his own parents. So Arin would have this thought of "you take me to look for your family, but you won't help me look for mine?" maybe not like that, but you get the idea, plus Arin seems stressed or angry in the new trailers, that could set off a little chain reaction.

I'm not saying that Arin would become a villain by any means, but it would be interesting to see him questioning or confronting Lloyd about something similar.

So let me get this straight-

Lloyd, who wants so badly to follow in Master Wu's footsteps and live up to him as a teacher now has a student who struggles with feeling inadequate and unworthy, who might go to dangerous lengths to try and achieve what he believes is his full potential?
