#Ellie rewatched ninjago

[laziarteest]

I’ve seen it three times now, and I know he comes back, but Zane’s sacrifice at the end of Rebooted still gets me TT-TT

Still working on this TWD Ninjago AU! Things are just a bit slow since my main interest atm is TWDG, but I'll try to get more out as fast as I can!

I think the part I'm most excited to get to is when I introduce Harumi into the story. Just gonna go ahead and 'spoil' it a little since the possibility of me actually getting that far with telling this story is low, so

Harumi isn't evil in this AU, she's just a little kid like Lloyd who had watched her parents die from the outbreak. She's taken in by Kai and Lloyd's current group of Dareth and Ronin, but she seems to be terrified of them, even when Lloyd brings it upon himself to try to cheer her up, trying to play with her. Hell, even Ronin tries to cheer her up, having specifically scavenged things for her, surprisingly. She was too scared and stressed to care, though.

When Harumi witnesses another death for the first time again, she finally breaks down, Ronin being the one to calm her down with a story of his own daughter. Harumi reminded him a lot of her, and maybe that was the reason he felt so inclined to protect her.

Basically, Harumi and Ronin have a sort of 'Joel and Ellie' kind of relationship! Also noticed while rewatching SoG that Harumi's dad looks vaguely similar to Ronin, so that could probably make it even worse!!! Hope I can actually make it this far...

Still so wild to me that Possession just straight up shows Morro's corpse Like yeah, it's just a Lego skeleton with some clothes if you have no context But with context, them's the bones of a named character with a backstory and motivations

[laziarteest]

I will say It's a little funny how Pythor is the only major villain from before season 8 that gets to be on the Crystal Council because basically everyone else is dead

[laziarteest]

When the Built to Protect hits during the opening of Dead Man's Squall

[laziarteest]

I think Crystalized should have let Garmadon go apeshit more often Those are like the best parts

[laziarteest]

Will I ever not be distracted by the flashback to young Lloyd in Dragons Rising where the voice is technically wrong U-U

[laziarteest]

Can't forget to blast the Weekend Whip while I draw Or drive Or stare off into the distance Y'know To celebrate

[laziarteest]

Plot twist, the Merge only happened because they wanted an excuse to use Chima style characters again

[laziarteest]

Cole, my boy, you deserve more screen time U-U

[laziarteest]

Man, rip for real to Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu for having to come right after the Oni Trilogy Its mediocrity just makes it seem so much worse compared to the story line that came right before it At least it gave me bro bro goo goo

[laziarteest]

The relationship between Lloyd and his dad in these early seasons is so good

I'm gonnan cri

[laziarteest]

Got back to Wrong Place, Wrong Time

So I once more must wonder about time paradoxes There's the obvious, like why is Lloyd still older And what about the vehicles during the Serpentine stuff But also, how did they even discover he was the Green Ninja in the first place without the Golden Weapons???

[laziarteest]

Poor Wild Brain era of Ninjago So far it's not holding up as well on a second watch (Just got back to Crystalized)

[laziarteest]

Stupid Seabound finale making me cry

[laziarteest]

Still kinda wild to me that Seabound just casually has an on-screen patricide
