#JK with that last tag

I have two main Ninjago Crack ships that give me true happiness:

Pythor X Clancee (Outcastingshipping)

.............and..............

Arcturus X Chope (I don't have a ship name aside from Chopeturus I guess)

Now stay with me here with Arcturus X Chope....

I ship things because it's either funny/a funny concept or it has a fun character dynamic I'd like to see and explore.

Arcturus X Chope is both of those things.

The concept of the General of the Anacondrai, the REAL Anacondrai, being in a relationship with a FAKE Anacondrai, who is also just supposed to be funny comic relief, has really funny irony and would be hilarious.

Since they're both dead and probably both ghosts and Anacondrai (Chope would be in his Anacondrai form not his human form), we don't have to worry about the whole 'can ghosts date living people' or 'can Serpentine date people' the show accidentally poses, and also they can be with each for eternity.

We could go full enemies to lovers with this one in fanfics, they could have a lot of fun banter with them both, and have them both dislike each other on different levels (With Arcturus dislike for Chope being a lot bigger than Chope's dislike for Arcturus), but over the course of their time together they could come to realise that they have a lot in common or that they get along despite their differences and enter a romance with each other. It could lead to lots of comedic scenes and fun dialogue.

Maybe Arcturus and Chope could have been both manipulated by Chen to trust him and eventually get betrayed by him in one way or another, maybe before they met Chen they could've had personal issues and felt like they had no-one to confide in, and Chen could have wormed into both of their lives pretending to be that friend to confide in, when in reality he was just trying to manipulate and use them for his own gain. Chen betrayed Arcturus by manipulating him into starting the Serpentine war then just abandoning him to get banished to the Cursed Realm and pay the consequences for his (Chen's) own actions by stirring up the whole thing, and Chen betrayed Chope by (possibly) manipulating him into joining the Anacondrai Cult then technically abandoning him like he did with Arcturus by leaving him to get cursed by the Anacondrai Generals (Which adds a level of Irony and Humour to the ship) just this time Chen gets actually punished for his behaviour and it’s not just Chope who gets cursed however the comparison still stands. They over time become the partners to each other that Chen pretended to be.

They have contrasting personalities (to an extent, this is my ill informed view on the characters): Chope is a funny, laid back, casual fighter (if that's a phrase), guy that probably doesn't feel that much guilt and much more goofy character who has probably never cared about honour or any actual culture of the Anacondrai, only admiring them for their power. Meanwhile Arcturus (to my interpretation) is a much more serious (though he could have moments of comedy), prone to over-obsess (kinda like how Twilight Sparkle is in Lesson Zero) and over-plan, guy who can be overly trusting and fall into the trap of falling in love with people to easily (always people the same age or older then him, because he looks up to and wishes to have their 'Wisdom'), overly Skilled warrior, guy who is riddled with his guilt and haunted by his past actions from his extremely high amounts of remorse, much more of a strategist in intense situations character who cares deeply about honour (sometimes to his own detriment) and actual Anacondrai culture, extremely insulted that the legacy of the Anacondrai is being desecrated by people who only care about the Anacondrai power, which could worsen his extreme sense of guilt that he (in his mind) caused the Extinction of the Anacondrai and the desecration of their legacy.

This is where that SWEET SWEET Character development comes in...

Chope could slowly but surely learn about Anacondrai culture and how important the culture and honour were to the Anacondrai. He could slowly realise how F*cked up it was for Chen and the others to erase it all only leaving their power as the only thing they cared about. He could also open up about his insecurities and personal struggles that he somewhat hides under the happy comic relief persona which is how he naturally is like (don't worry it's not a facade) and why he joined the Anacondrai Cult to Arcturus, which could give Arcturus a new perspective on a group he previously blindly hated out of guilt fuelled rage at their desecration of the Anacondrai (They still did bad things, but he gains somewhat of an understanding of why some of them are there). He could learn how to fight with more honour and better.

Arcturus could confront his guilt on what he caused by Chen, he could open to Chope about his past and issues which lead him to blindly trusting Chen, his guilt of (in his eyes) his entire tribe's extinction. Chope could also help Arcturus confess his long withheld crush on Pythor, to Pythor (If that's how you say it), who he could feel guilty for causing the mental insanity and Cannibalism problems in him (Pythor). He could learn to let go of his guilt, Chen and Pythor and finally be able to Rest in Peace with Chope.

Edit: Arcturus could also have an arc when there starting to like each other where he feels like he isn’t good enough for Chope however Chope could snap him out of it early on.

There's probably more I forgot, but I need to get to sleep, I will add more in edits if I remember anything.

I have put more analytical skills into this ship then I have on my College Annotations, and I have got all of Arcturus' personality from less then 5 minutes of Screen time and head cannons. Anyway, this my long ramble on why I ship Chope X Arcturus. This took far too long, I need to end this so I can get to Bed and stop listening to the Italian, Nightcore and Sped up versions of Poison from Hazbin Hotel while making this post.

WOAH HOLY SHIT 2000 FOLLOWERS? THANK YOU?? WHAT THE SHITT??

To celebrate 2000, enjoy 2000lbs of Doug! Somehow, he miraculously gained hundreds of pounds overnight, demolishing his bed and becoming as big as the bedroom. He can't even stand up now, unless he wants to risk tearing the roof off the place. Not to mention he's even fatter than he was before on top of all that...

✨Good timezone everyone!✨

The Past 💛 Atlas

As I approach the club, the bass is already thumping from the floor above. Despite the cold, they have the large floor-to-ceiling accordion doors open wide to allow the air to flow for the dancers and DJ. Something I’m sure I’ll be grateful for later.

I notice Ash first, his back is to me with his teal hair practically glowing in the neon lights. He’s standing with Lex and a few of her friends in a circle on the side of the building. I met Lex’s friends once before at a concert last year, but I don’t remember any of their names. They all seem nice enough, but it wasn’t exactly the environment to get to know them, and I doubt tonight will be any different.

“Atlas!!” Lex squeals and runs toward me at full speed when she notices me walking up. I smile and brace myself as she jumps up and attaches herself to me, squeezing the air from my lungs. “I’m so happy you came!”

“Happy Birthday!” I say when she releases her grip, and I set her back on her feet.

“Thank you. Now, give me your hand,” she demands. I do as she says, and she places a small tablet in the center of my palm.

“Aha, what did you bring?” I ask, but she just smiles and pulls on my arm, leading me to the rest of the group.

I wave hello to everyone as we approach, and then sidle up next to Ash and lean into him to say, “Hey.”

He looks up at me and smiles, “Glad you could make it.”

“Did you take one of these?” I ask, showing him the tablet Lex gave me.

“Not yet,” he says, “still deciding if I want to.”

“I’m only going to take half if you want to split it with me.”

“Yeah, actually, that’s a good idea. I hate getting too fucked up.”

“Me too,” I say as I bite the edge of it, careful not to bite it directly in half because I know it will crumble a bit anyway. The flavor is incredibly bitter, almost too much even for me. I feel a little guilty handing the other half to Ash and watching his face twist up as he swallows it.

One of Lex’s friends, a petite girl with a blonde pixie cut and glitter covering her eyelids, hands us her water bottle, “Here, you guys can finish it.”

“Thank you,” I say sincerely. She is now my favorite. “Remind me what your name is?”

“Blair,” she smiles and points to herself

“Right, thank you, Blair.” I take a small sip of water, just enough to wash away whatever crumbs are left behind in my mouth, and then hand the bottle to Ash who happily chugs the rest.

“Thank you so much,” he says to Blair before walking over to toss the bottle in the recycle bin.

Once inside, we stop at the counter to check our jackets with a bubbly woman who is offering everyone a Starburst from a bowl placed conveniently next to a tip jar complete with a QR code to tip digitally if you don’t have cash. I don’t touch the candy, but I do leave a generous tip when I hand her my favorite zip-up hoodie. She hands me back a numbered stub, and I take a photo of it with my phone before shoving it into my pocket, just in case.

I turn to step aside and make room for the others but stop when I see Ash pulling his hoodie up over his head. His t-shirt is stuck to it causing it to rise up and expose the bare skin of his waist. My brain short-circuits, all thoughts leaving my mind aside from the image of wrapping my hands around that waist, of getting on my knees and— “Ow!”

Lex pinches the back of my arm, snapping me back to reality. I look over at her and she points at me, her eyes squinting to a glare behind her glasses, clearly in best-friend-protection mode. “What was that for?” As if I don’t already know. She’s forgiven me for the way I hurt Ash before but obviously not forgotten.

“Don’t play dumb with me. I’m watching you.”

I hold my hands up in surrender, “You have nothing to worry about, I promise.”

“Mhm,” is all she says before turning away and hooking arms with Ash as they walk up the stairs.
