Fictional media bracket, Round 1B.5
Propaganda under the cut:
The Boy in the Iceberg: "Written by acclaimed playwright Pu-on Tim based on interviews with nomads, pirates, prisoners of war, and one surprisingly knowledgeable cabbage merchant, it tells the tale of the Avatar and his journey from the South Pole to the city of Ba Sing Se."
"Literally the best recap episode ever, with an in-universe play of the events that have happened in the story, but from a perspective that’s just pieces together from rumors. Pokes a lot of fun at the show itself but also really confronts some of the characters with an outside view of themselves. It’s also a great representation of Fire Nation propaganda, making the main cast out to be very silly and childish while the Fire Nation characters are very cool and serious. It even has an act that is showing Ozai and Azula beating Aang and Zuko respectively, playing into their fears of the future and displaying how Ozai and Azula are the heroes from the fire nation perspective."
Starfarer: "Blanking on propaganda so I’m just gonna ramble about it and some facts about it:
It’s kinda like a combination of Star Wars and Star Trek except a superhero comic series (with a cinematic universe)
A main character (Jay Walker) ((yes that’s his actual name)) is the son of the actor who plays the main hero (the actor’s name is Cliff Gordon) (the hero’s name is Fritz Donnagan). Jay was not raised by Cliff but grew up with his adopted parents on a junkyard and did not know he was adopted when he got super into Starfarer
The catchphrase changes; originally it was “Fair? Fair isn’t a word where I come from!” and then they retconned it to “Fear? Fear isn’t a word where I come from!”
And yeah I’m blanking on everything else so yeah jazz hands"
"One of the main characters' (who just happened to be a big fan of the franchise) dad was the lead actor in it!"

Morro and Garmadon are both in the Departed realm, why haven’t we used this information as stupidly as we could.
Part 2
Morro: so…Your son-
Garmadon: one more word, and I will break my vow of peace.
Morro:
Morro: he kinda stunk.
Garmadon: *swings*
Garmadon: Isn’t it funny, how at one point in time, you thought you were destined to be the guy to defeat me?
Morro: *laying face down on the ground after losing another sparring match, is tempted to blast Garmadon*
Garmadon: hilarious, isn’t it? Ninjago would’ve been very protected.
Garmadon: *is trying to teach Morro about accepting change* change is nothing to be afraid of. Sure, it can be shocking, like the first time i grew four arms, but-
Morro: what.
Garmadon: it doesn’t-…yes?
Morro: say that part again.
Garmadon: change is nothing to be afraid of?
Morro: No, the other thing.
Garmadon:…it can be shocking?-
Morro: No. The other other thing.
Garmadon: Oh, you mean when i said Wu was you’re-
Morro: NO- the OTHER OTHER OTHER, thing!
Garmadon: when i had four arms?
Morro: YES! What do you MEAN you had four arms???
Garmadon: exactly what it implies, i had four arms.
Morro:
Morro: does that mean you technically classify as an insect
Garmadon: What.
Morro: did you know-
Garmadon: Morro, I am thousands of years old. Whatever you try to tell me, I probably already know of.
Morro: oh.
Morro: damn, i guess i didn’t need to tell you Lloyd died and visited your dad.
Garmadon: WHAT-
Morro: oh yeah, you must already know that the water ninja became water too, right?
Garmadon: What do you even MEAN BY THAT-
Morro: and that Wu apparently just died too, huh?
Garmadon: HE DID WHAT
Morro: he did death, apparently.
Garmadon: for today’s session, I was hoping to discuss some past traumas with you.
Morro: no. I don’t have trauma.
Garmadon: Morro, everyone has trauma.
Morro: well, I don’t.
Garmadon: Child, just because you call your past experiences ‘character development’ does not mean they weren’t traumas.
Morro: hey, old man.
Garmadon:
Morro: heyyy, you four armed loser.
Garmadon:
Morro: Garmadon! Stop ignoring me dammit!
Garmadon:
Morro: ugh- you- SENSEI!
Garmadon:
Morro: oh for the love of- I am NOT calling you… That.
Garmadon: *turns away*
Morro: dammit-it’s important!
Garmadon: *begins to walk away*
Morro: oh, you- you petty old man- UNCLE.
Garmadon: *turns around with a smile* yes?
Morro: I hope you get resurrected and die again.
A good half of these are rlly bad but i found it fun so let me off this once 😭
Anyways, they have a love hate relationship with the hate coming from Morro, the care coming from Garmadon, who tbh just wants to uncle Wu’s kid the same way Wu did his own (after managing his own annoyance at Morro after what happened)
Garmadon likes bullying Morro, Morro likes mocking Garmadon. Thats their relationship.

DOES THIS MEAN WHAT I THINK IT MEANS...........
THE DRAGON THAT HAD FSM WAS A SOURCE DRAGON!?!?!?!?
If the symbols mean the Source Dragons, and one is calling Lloyd, "One of mine" does that mean we finally may have info on the specific Dragon and Oni that had FSM?
I mean, we as a fandom don't look at that very much.........
BUT WHAT IF?!?!?!? Lloyd, Garmadon and Wu are descended from a Source Dragon?!?!?!?!
Or is it "one of mine," because Energy means Life?
