Will lose it if we never see Dareth again bro if they can give fucking Fugidove a cameo they can show me the silly my boy i miss him. He is such a fucking loser i need to see him again i need him to be okay so i can watch him malefail all over the place just like old times
This has been said before, but I just love how wild ninjago shipping culture is
Four guys all living together and fighting crime? Yeah their poly ship is of one the most popular in the fandom
Which one won a “best ship” tournament? The (probably ace) robots of course
You want middle age men in love? We got two that are very popular, take your pick
The various of female side characters that were created almost exclusively to be love interests for the male leads, why not ship them together?
You want the main character shipped with a kid he used to go to school with and has only been in like two episodes? Almost universally considered better than what was almost his canon ship
You like the canon ships? Great for you, we got stuff for that too and we’ve added some much needed depth
Any flavor you want them, whether it be enemies to lovers or doomed by the narrative or canon compliant, it probably exists somewhere
And is shipping not your thing? There are more gen fics than anything else
me and my partner have been watching ninjago with one of our best friends and we finished season 5 late last night and went “so…. Before we go to bed do you want to watch the first episode of season 6 just to get. A taste”
- the first episode is so much worse than I remember. Oh my god. It’s so bad. Help me
- this isn’t Dareth this is a parasite that took over Dareth’s body I refuse to accept this
- after Clouse wishes himself away our friend just went “oh he fucking sucks” about Nadakhan which is an apt reaction
- my partner was streaming it and their discord crashed multiple times, possibly trying to Spare Us
- I FORGOT THAT NADAKHAN ACCIDENTALLY BUMPS INTO A GUY WHO PROCEEDS TO GO “HEY WATCH IT” NEW YORKER STYLE AND THEN GO “HA NICE HAIRCUT BOZO”
- THIS MADE MY PARTNER AND I LAUGH SO HARD WE HAD TO PAUSE
- do you understand how cathartic it is after reading like four Skybound fics this month where Jay gets brutally tortured by this bitch only to watch the show and he gets called a bozo by some random guy for lightly bumping into him on accident I’m-
my friend and i are watching s4 and they're a big dareth fan, and they just dropped a banger theory on me
what if dareth is the master of luck and doesn't know it
he just goes through the show vibing and getting out of the toughest situations and not knowing why he keeps surviving. no one tells him. its so funny. i'm incorporating this into my worldview immediately.
1. Arin is literally SO Autism coded I swear and you cannot tell me otherwise. It literally pissed me off so bad how that master dragon was treating him. He's a smart boy, he learns quick too!! But sometimes he gets stuck and held back by his own self. He needs a lot of patience when it comes to his training!! Stressing him out is not doing wonders for him grgrgrg. (I say this as a certified Autistic person)
2. The ninja are literally experiencing the Zane effect. His curse his spreading. My evidence?
Lloyd - Visions - Zane used to have many visions that all came true and they often caused him to wake in a startled state.
Jay - 100% no memory, plus it seems likely that he may turn to the dark side, if only temporary. - Do I really have to say it? Ice, fucking, Emperor.
Kai - Gets stuck in another dimension. - Oh ehm gee, Zane with the ice emperor arc.
3. My god, when Nya saw that fake vision of Jay not remembering her and she said she realize it was fake because there was no possible way he could forget her... it literally broke my heart. Like girl, I am sorry. I am so so sorry. You're love for him is so sweet but...it might seem a little crazy what I'm about to tell you...
4. Cole and Geo are so fucking gay, it's so sweet. They're so cute!!! I love them so much I can't 😭
5. Lloyd my poor poor boy. The visions just utterly terrorizing him was so devastating to watch. I felt so bad for him. I'm glad he managed to find peace with it, if somewhat.
6. What happens if Kai comes across the other four of the Forbidden Five?? What are the gonna do to him?? Please for the love of god-
7. Still waiting for a Cole v. Jay showdown. I need it and I need it now.
8. I miss Wu, Pixal, and Skylor!! And Dareth. Give Zane and Kai their girlfriends back istg. And like, maybe actually do Kailor justice for real this time?? Just sayin. And don't you DARE say Wu is dead, I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT. I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL BUILT ON DENIAL, JUST YOU WATCH.
9. Hear me out on this first Forbidden Five dude, PLEASE I BEG OF YOU-
10. I think it would be kinda silly if one of the Ninja actually got stuck with a wolf mask on while the gong thing was set off, and something bad actually happened with it?? More conflict and angst and drama please, make my heart bleed.
11. What are ya'lls theories on Jay so far after S2P1? I wanna hear em!!
So I was watching a Zane hc vid earlier today and there was this one hc that said that Zane canonically forgot abt Dareth after the whole Never Realm shit and after they told me the ep I went back and saw this scene
HE SAYS IT LIKE THEY NEVER KNEW WHO DARETH WAS
OK no let me refresh it for a sec
When Zane and Pixal are in the bar, the mood changes after they run into Dareth
And then Dareth talks to them and just.
LOOK AT HIS EXPRESSION.
COMPARE THIS TO WHEN ZANE SAW DARETH AT THE BAR IN S8
HE WAS CONCERNED BC THE PLACE WAS FILLED WITH SOG MEMBERS
HERE HE LOOKS CONFUSED AS IF THEY DONT KNOW DARETH
AND WHEN PIXAL'S TALKING TO DARETH ZANE'S EXPRESSION JUST GOES LIKE
"You know him?"
AND RIGHT AFTER DARETH LEAVES THE MOOD CHANGES BACK
