I've heard multiple people say that Nya spent the whole time after the Merge trying to protect the Craglings from the Dragons.

But she doesn't get there until after Kai arrives.

The first flashback we see of her time post Merge is hearing the Cragling and Dragon battle and running to help, only to find her brother in the thick of it.

And when Lloyd tries to ask her about what she experienced before that, Nya pushes it away. She tells Lloyd that a lot happened, but doesn't go into any more detail.

As if she's hiding something.

What monstrosities did Nya endure?

OK THATS IT IM DRAWING HIM SMILING

KAI WHEN HE FINALLY FINDS THE BOUNTY

From one leader, to another

[goatswithtoast]

So, that trailer, huh?

Kailor shenanigans.

Dr Lloyd time travels to season 1/2 of ninjago but he doesn’t do anything other than sit in a corner with his hand on his face and every time anyone ask him if he’s ok ,he just say “I lost the custody fight”

Something that hasn't really sunk in yet is the fact that monstrosity is canon. Like wdym it's not something my Kai-deprived brain made up in order to fill the neverending void in my heart???? Really??? Are you sure?? The thing I've been begging for actual years and then some really happened?? No joke??? Actual Kai material?? Character development?? Lore importance?? ANGST, SICK MONSTER DESIGN, AND BODY HORROR??? 2D FUCKING ANIMATION!?!?!?!? AND ITS ALLL KAI??????????? JUST HIM?????????????????

Jay becomes a snake. Zane is a nindroid. Nya merged with the ocean. Lloyd becomes an oni. Cole becomes a ghost.

Every single ninja has become a ‘monster’/an inhuman being physically.

Kai is only one who hasn’t.

Instead, in Ninjago Monstrosity, he will become a monster mentally. Losing all sense of self as he hopes desperately for survival. For the feeling of love to fill his heart once more.

Kai is shown to be actively clinging to his humanity and sanity in the trailer, as his voice slowly shifts to a rougher, tireder tone. He is losing himself in a way none of the others ever have, because physically he is human. There is no supernatural force making him become something he isn’t, he isn’t becoming something he already was (at least, he hopes). His blood isn’t pushing him to follow instincts.

The only way Kai could become a monster in the land he is in, is through himself.

Do you think Kai took liberties when heading to the Monastery? Do you think he stood infront of a mirror making sure he looked and acted the same before the merge happened? Do you think he cracked more jokes and laughed too hard when he was with Lloyd? Do you think he quietly mumbles the names of the people who helped him leave the realm of monsters in fear of forgetting them? Do you think the reason he talks to himself more is because its become a habit for him? Do you think he was relieved when Nya broke them out of the fear vision, and that he really was back home? Do you think he got deja vu seeing rontu and egalt? Do you think he found the nether space comforting? Do you think the reason he was so calm during everything is because he was desensitized? Do you think he's okay?

Because I don't.

Ninjago x Barbie and the Three Musketeers

Barbie and the Three Musketeers is in my top 3 favourite Barbie movies of all time, and I had this AU idea about a year or two ago during my annual rewatches. But I’m less shy about sharing all my AU ideas now so here it is!

Nya as Corinne - I think these two are similar in personality and Nya fits Corinne best (though she would be a great Renée as well). Maya would be Marie, obviously, and Kai will be mentioned along with Ray near the beginning as being musketeers. Maybe Kai will return if I plan out a story?👀

Skylor as Aramina - While Skylor definitely isn’t as theatrical and “hopeless romantic” as Aramina, I do see Sky having a dramatic flair and she’s definitely flirty in my eyes. Plus their character designs fit well! Seeing Aramina’s fans is what made me give Skylor bladed fans in my AUs and stuff.

Pixal as Renée - This leans mostly into how Pix and Renée make weapons for their team and are the smart ones. Though they are also both hard-workers, who are cautious of new people and protective of their loved ones. I think it’s a solid fit (also Pix’s throwing stars + Renée’s slingshot skills = both great at aim)

Lula as Viveca - Okay, I first decided this probably because Viveca’s my favourite (IM NOT ALWAYS THIS BIASED I SWEAR) but they have similarities too! Lula is the team’s designer with robes and patching up suits, she’s also quite stylish (practical, yes, but in-style) and I HC she’ll pick up embroidery somewhere in her life (it’s got a connection with her mum, who was a seamstress in Stiix). Both Viv and Lulu are witty and bold with their comments, so this is a nice fit! (also Lula reacts to Riyu like how Viveca does with Miette hehe)

Mystaké as Hélène - OF COURSE!!! Throw Master Wu away, it’s time for some badass Mystaké focus. I have to figure out who will be Madame de Bossé though.

Jay as Prince Louis - If Nya is Corinne, of course Jay is going to be Prince Louis. But also, as characters themselves, they’re similar in ways (minus the stupid sexism from Louis😭) They’re both tinkerers and wanting to invent something that’ll make them fly, both have a nerdy charm about them, both fall for a badass woman who saves them. Yeah, this is solid. Who will be Cousin Philippe and Bertram is the question now.

This is the main cast so far. Riyu can be Miette! Monsieur Treville could be Master Wu (since he knew Ray and Maya well). I still have no idea who to place as Cousin Philippe💀 But I’m probably not going to expand on this AU too much, I’ll definitely get to drawing it (hopefully!!!) and maybe a oneshot may arise from this? Cole, Zane, Lloyd, and Kai are their own gang of musketeers gallivanting in some other city of France🙏
