#and be nice to nya and cole when interacting w/them

[nerdyenby]

DRS2 reactions (spoilers)

Ep 1

Ras at the shadow dojo???????? Who woulda thunk

New intro?!?!!!?!! Idk why I wasn’t expecting that, actually

The public including Pix with the missing ninja my beloved

Gosh, big Riyu will take some getting used to

Wait… is that a curious george reference??

I don’t know if I’ve heard someone outright say something isn’t good for their friend’s mental health in a cartoon before, it’s really refreshing

Casual Frohicky and Sora/Arin interactions my beloved <3

Omg Kai explaining Shang to Zane is such season one vibes

Lloyd having open and honest conversations with his students about both his and their wellbeing is so important to me

Ok, hear me out: au where baby Wu didn’t age back at an enhanced rate and gets lost at somepoint and Arin is teenage Wu

Dang it, Cinder’s kinda funny

Ep 2

I legit started happy stimming so hard at that opening shot, I’m really invested in Euphrasia’s story already and nothing’s even happened yet lol

Percival out here making the gen z solarpunk dream a reality!!!!

Lloyd calling it what it is — a panic attack — soothes something in me

Sora did really bad graffiti of cats when she was young, that’s adorable and kinda tells you everything you need to know about her

MY GIRL!!!!!!!

Euphrasia using a cane!!!! Hell yeah mobility aids!!!! (Even though it’ll probably be gone in two episodes lol)

I kid you not, I was 100% expecting Suetonius to say “resurrect… the Great Devourer” lmao

I love that the gang is (mostly) all together, but it’s a bit too many characters for a conversation, I get why they like to split them into groups

Nya grounding Lloyd :(( /pos

Kai boasting about a fight that he won a decade ago when Cinder probably doesn’t even know Ash is endlessly amusing to me

Ras is so dramatic I can’t really take him seriously

Damn, they’re letting characters get hurt, it’s kinda refreshing but it’s scary

Ep 3

Wait I didn’t see Euphrasia get captured :((

WHAT THE HELL?!???? /vpos

Strength, motion, energy, and life?!??!!??

AYOOOOOO?!?!????

Kai comforting Wyldfyre <333

We know this takes place after the mech shorts, so why hasn’t anyone mentioned Cole? He was also seen in public, so why did that conspiracy guy say he’s still missing?

Why do they keep leaving Zane behind?? He’s in his housewife era fr

Kai making sure Wyldfyre’s taken care of :((

This show is so unserious, I love it

I wasn’t feeling people calling Kai Wyldfyre’s dad after season one but…

No… Sora took Arin’s thing from him… she didn’t mean to, but he feels like he’s not special anymore :(

I’m going to pretend that was a believable amount of parts to make a mech that big

Kai getting moments with Arin and Sora my beloved

Kai’s “hey kid, nice of you to drop by” is giving the same energy as when Lloyd and Arin first met during the merge

THE WALLS ARE MOVING, REPEAT: THE WALLS ARE MOVING

These nightmare sequences are going so hard

Nya being the first one to realize it isn’t real when her nightmare is reality, I’m screaming

Riyu comforting Wyldfyre <333

Nya best sister award when

Ep 4

My boys!!!!!

THE found family of all time

IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO MY CHILDREN I WILL RIOT

Seeing Kai and Nya fight so smoothly together is so special after how much they and Lloyd were tripping over each other when they first reunited

Basketball?!??!!??!!!

Autistic Arin real and true

I love Bonzle so much

Geo is such a lil bastard actually /pos, makes more sense why he and Cole are a thing, knowing Cole’s taste in men

COLE!!!!!!

Cole will never stop being overpowered, it seems, he deserves it tbh

Censorship pog /hj

“Not funny, Wyldfyre” “Not joking, Sora” the sheer cousin vibes in this interaction are too much to handle

Lloyd PLEASE just mention being 1/4 dragon, it will almost certainly get Egalt on board, I am begging

Glacier reunion!!!!!!!

Ep 5

I wanted a more emotional reunion, but they’ve probably seen each other off screen (or I’m just forgetting a scene from the shorts)

Zane, why are you still carrying that doll like it’s your child??

Bonzle my beloved, she’s says that so deadpan I don’t actually have any questions

Wyldfyre my beloved

I would die for Bonzle

Cole and Geo holding hands 😭😭😭😭😭

Is Egalt the motion source dragon?? Probably not tbh but I’d believe it

Man’s spitting facts, flatearthers are going to lose their shit

“Little fire man” IM DYING OH MY GOD

Wait when does this take place? My first instinct is while the ninja were in the Never Realm but idk if we’ll actually find out

“Friends can become like family?” “Definitely” IM SOBBING ON THE FLOOR

Letting Arin be angry is so important

Cole shutting down Bonzle’s suicidal thoughts without hesitation “no, you are loved and needed. We will find a way to protect you” <333

The physical affection in DR is so dear to me

Human sacrifices???? In MY lego show?????

Ep 6

Wyldfyre struggling with her body’s limits is really relatable as a young disabled person

FOREHEAD TOUCH :((

Plot twist: where the other ninja are right now is Mysterium and they have that tua meme of two cars passing each other moment

Damn, that exchange hit hard as a former gifted kid. Sometimes having someone believe in you hurts. You’re not just letting yourself down, but them, too

Nya just fucking bodyslamming Kai, Egalt didn’t know what he was getting into pitting the world’s most competitive siblings against each other

“The Finders are like my family” *looks at Zane* “My other family” screaming, crying, sobbing on the floor

Oh no

Wait yeah, why are they thirsty if Zane can just make ice for them to chew on? At least Cole and Jiro, idk if Bonzle needs water

The nonbinary pirate!!!

Cole CANNOT escape the performing arts fr fr

Ep 7

Bonzle is giving transgender

That is the most Jay and Cole thing I’ve ever heard it, it’s so in character it almost feels out of character

Arin and Sora going through the exact same thing and trying and failing to not take it out on each other :( it’s ok tho, the real ones are the ones you can be snippy with and love regardless

Wyldfyre referring to the ninja as “Kai’s friends” honey, they’re your friends too, I promise

Anyone who calls Wyldfyre dumb can fuck off, she’s so perceptive and intelligent and is really good at connecting others when she truly wants to

Bonzle’s mom <33333

Bonzle’s smile when her mom compliments her name <3333

Who you calling stolen equipment bitch?????

Lil Kai and Nya!!!!!!

Nya’s so proud of him!!!!! I could cry

Kai being the first to achieve it because fire is an element under motion’s domain methinks

Oh you bigoted son of a bitch

Zane why are you considering it????? Honey

What the fuck did you do to Jiro??!?!!!

JAY?!?!!???

Ep 8

NOOOO 😭😭😭

There’s literally a nindroid agent right there????

The og musical cue playing when Jay comes back <3

Jay on his Euphrasia arc, this is highkey breaking my heart though

I’m counting this as a fakeout death and you can’t stop me

Are you kidding me???!!!? How many times is Jay going to be one room away from the ninja

Lloyd SHUT UP /aff

“And cursed!!” She says cheerfully, this lady is an icon

The subtitles keep calling Cole Kai, what is this, season one??

Ep 9

Aww, baby Ras (trying desperately to not care about him)

Oh ok, he’s making my job easier

Poor Wyldfyre :(

I love this trio so much, their banter is so good

Lloyd honey, fighting it is making it worse

Nya holding him through his panic attack :((

I was expecting Cole to deny that it was him, the earth is going through it

The disco toaster!!!!!

Heck yeah Riyu!!!

I love them so much it’s not even funny

“What’s your elemental power, imperviousness to sarcasm?” She just called him autistic in 13 languages (I’m autistic, dw guys)

“First time driving?” “Believe it or not, no” Bonzle and Arin my beloved

I’m a touch disappointed Wyldfyre’s perfectly fine now as someone with chronic pain, but I’m glad it was handled as well as it was and it’s a really important lesson for younger audiences that pushing your body while it’s in pain only makes it worse

The silent exchange of Cole suggesting Zane takes the parrot potion is endlessly funny but also sad considering it’s probably the closest well get to talking about the Falcon

Cole turning into a puppy who cheered?!???

“At least you’re adorable” “I’m always adorable” get a room /aff

Tournament of elements flashbacks

The workplace gossip omg, Cinder really out here beefing with a 16 year old

Don’t you even fucking dare

MY BABIESSSSSS

Ep 10

Arin mistaking Lloyd and Nya for his parents hurts :(

Oh no… I mean, it was obviously coming but it’s still very bad

WYLDFYRE POPPING OFF!!!!! THIS GIRL NEEDED HER ENRICHMENT

Let Euphrasia do stuff 2024

Wyldfyre jumping in front of Kai and protecting him

The basketball practice coming in handy lol

The fight cinematography in DR is fucking superb

KAI D: (he’ll be fine, I believe)

Nya!!!!!

BONZLE MVP!!!!

I was prepared for Rontu and Egalt to stay dead, the breath I let out when the stone cracked was unparalleled

Are we legit not getting Kai back????

Cole and Lloyd hug!!!!!

RAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

Oh no… that lie is going to hurt when it comes out

Kai and Bonzle!!!!

Not like Master Wu says, like Lloyd says ;-; /pos

[aweebwrites]

A Wild Brown Ninja Appears! (Side-Effect AU)

“The brown ninja has arrived!” Dareth announced as he stepped into the ninja's base.

“Fair warning, Jay's in a mood so don't touch anything metallic we might have missed.” Lloyd says as he dualed with a training bot, reminding himself not to actually destroy it this time.

“Gotcha.” Dareth says then swaggered himself upstairs.

Upon arrival, he came across most of the ninja hanging around the living space with Jay curled up against Sensei Garmadon, electricity arcing around him as said Sensei spoke quietly to him. He would have been concerned if he didn't know that Garmadon is able to resist certain levels of electricity.

“That bad, huh?” He says to Zane who was the closest and the Nindroid only nodded.

They tend to hover when one of them were having a particularly bad episode. Dareth smirked. He thinks he can help.

“Step aside and let Grandmaster Dareth show you how it's done.” He says, swaggering over but Cole intercepted.

“We appreciate it but this one isn't like the other episodes he's had. It's best you let Sensei G handle thus.” He says, and just then, a small bolt of lightning lashed out, striking the spot next to Dareth's foot and burning the rubber coating on the ground, making him yelp. “See?”

“Nonsense! It barely grazed me.” Dareth says, brushing it off, despite his perfectly manicured hair now up on end. “Watch this: I ran into Mr. Borg on the way here and he gave me something to deliver to a certain ninja~” They watched as Jay stiffened at the mention of his technological idol before whipping his head around to look at the package Dareth was holding up.

“Is that for me?” Jay asked hopefully, doe eyes so big and opened that they would have let him have it, even if it wasn't theirs.

“Sure is.” Dareth says, walking over and handing it to the blue ninja. “It hasn't been released as yet and he mentioned something about wanting to see how his favourite ninja likes it first.” He says and while Cyrus didn't actually say that part, it was worth seeing the big grin on the formerly glum ninja's face.

“I can't wait to see what it is! I bet it's really cool like everything Mr. Borg makes! I remember that time he released the-”

“Maybe you should try opening it first.” Garmadon suggested with a light chuckle and Jay smiled at him sheepishly before opening the package.

“Woah, what's this?” He says, taking out the goggle like item.

“It comes with instructions.” Garmadon says, lifting the sheet from the box and Zane took his cue.

While the Sensei's weren't completely out of the know with technology, Mr. Borg's instructions on anything he sends to them could only be understood by Jay, Nya or himself.

“It's called a virtual reality headset and is a gaming hardware that allows for more interactive game play.” Zane says, reading the sheetas Jay put on the headset then gasped once he managed to turn it on.

“Woah! This is so cool!” He says excitedly, sparking with electricity.

“I wouldn't do that if I were you. You might fry it.” Kai says with a small smile, the overall mood much lighter now that he was his excitable self again.

“It’s fine. Mr. Borg says he anticipated Jay's electrical output in this particular design and planned accordingly. It will actually charge it. He would really need to try to destroy it.” Zane says, handing Jay the controllers.

Half an hour later and Jay got the hang of it with Zane's help, rattling off a commentary of how awesome it was and how it felt as if he was actually in the game. Everyone was just glad he was ok again.

“You truly saved the day, brown ninja.” Garmadon says, placing a hand on his shoulder after he combed his hair.

“Of course I did. It's what I do.” Dareth says with a smirk that soon changed into a smile. “You should thank Mr. Borg. He's the one who made the thing and found me to begin with.” He shrugged.

“Already on it.” Nya says, using the television to phone Mr. Borg who answered a few seconds later.

“Ah, Ninja. So good to see you. I see Jay has gotten my package.” Cyrus says from his office with Pixal by his side and Jay perked up at the sound of his idol's voice, slipping off the headset.

“Mr. Borg! Thanks so much! It's totally awesome and the graphics are epic not to mention how totally 3D it is like the game is all around me and I can turn around see…” Jay began rambling and they all smiled at him.

“Pixal. It's been a while. How are things?” Lloyd asked as Mr. Borg pitched in a few extras on the makeups of the headset to Jay.

“Well. We had planned to send all of them at once but Jay's was the only one that was completed and the sudden surge of electricity we picked up from your location suggested we seen his earlier.” She told them and they nodded.

“That's fine. You guys didn't have to though.” Lloyd says with a smile.

“BUT.” Kai says, dropping down next to Lloyd and wrapping an arm around his neck. “But since you're offering, we'll gladly accept.” He says and Lloyd rolled his eyes but chuckled.

“I’m home.” They all looked across at Sensei Wu as he came up the stairs fully with several bags in hand.

“Sensei W! Great to see you!” Dareth says, pulling him into a hug.

“Dareth. Good to see you too.” Wu says as the ninja perked up.

“Is that Chen's?” Cole says, sniffing out aroma of food.

“Considering he tried to kidnap Zane… shouldn't we stay away from his brand?” Lloyd asked as Wu set the bags down.

“His daughter runs the business after figuring out how shallow he really is. Chen himself and Clouse along with his entire cult are having a nice long stay in Kryptarium prison.” Garmadon says with a small smirk as he sat Jay down and set his new toys aside as he continued to talk Cyrus' ears off but he doesn't seem to mind at all.

“Settle down children. Time for lunch.” Wu says, handing out cartons of food.

“Hey! I'm not a kid!” Cole huffed, arms crossed.

“Of course not.” Wu says and Cole nods, totally pouting.

Dareth looked at them all conversing happily and decided it was time for him to take his leave.

“I should-”

“Here you go Dareth. You still like puffy potstickers, correct?” Wu says, offering him a carton and Dareth beamed.

“Do I!” He says, accepting his carton and joining in.

They never fail to make him feel like a part of the family.

________________

(Yooo. I got hit with 13 hours of sleep and woke up wondering what year it was. That aside, Dareth's here! And Cyrus too! PIXAL! I'll have to post another part with a little visit from her but in case anyone hasn't realised as yet, there's no shipping in this one. I don't mind ships at all but this au is about family. Anywho, I need to see if I can get something else posted tonight so I gotta type quick. Weeb awaaaayyyyy!)

THOUGHTS ON EPISODE 92!!!

SPOILERS!!!

...

...

... WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE FIRST SPINJITZU MASTER WAS THAT EPISODE??? WHAT THE HECK, I ONLY HAVE ONE HEART!!! 😱😱😱

Besides me freaking, gosh, so much happened! I need a moment... uh... okay, let's see if I can do it 😅

First of all...

I wasn't expecting anything gorgeaus for an oni, and I wasn't wrong 😂 I can see where Garmy took his style 😎

Also, Mystake is great? It's obvious she lived a lot, since she came in Ninjago following the FSM, and hearing her talking with Garmadon for once made me feel like he was the naive one, which is not common for him.

Sky mah girl did great... sigh... w-wait, I'll get there, I swear! Let me just take my time in the Realm of the Oni and the Dragon, less angst 😅

Jay calling a trap 😂 Also dropping the weapon like a mic was a nice touch 👈👈

But of course, nothing could be compared to this:

Precious ninja laughing together. Good looking(hair gel man) Kai, the brain himself Zane, Mr. Party pooper Cole and Jay the annoying one 😂😂😂 And this is how Wu got his memory back, it's so silly and made for their silly team it's perfect!

I kinda hoped for another puberty joke, but bluebell freaking out other mustache and goaty was still great 😙

To be honest I always appreciate Wu, but never to put him into my favorites. Right now, though, exploring him on another point of view, seeing also how he behaves on each age made him more interesting!

Can't say anything to his style, at this point it grew into me 😎😎

... I really have to, huh?

If this part wasn't so great I would skip it... BECAUSE IT'S PAINFUL!!! 😢😢

Okay, first of all, I'm sure Mystake is alive. No proves, but I have faith (no pun intended) that someone so powerful would be okay

Maybe drinking tea, waiting at last episode 😂

Can I point out how cool it is the situation? Nya and Lloyd interacting with Skylor, when she mostly had talks with Kai. Expecially Lloyd, they barely talked before, and now look how supportive green bean is!!! 😁😁

Another thing I love is that we acknowledged again how fricking powerful and resourceful is the amber. You can do ANYTHING with it

Also, Sky being a fricking queen

Even Lloyd, aka most powerful ninja of all, is like "I'm so so glad she's not like her father" 😂😂😂

So... huh... here comes 😅

In order, the struggling over the control of the Colossi made Mark and Heather gained even more of my admiration for their voice acting. They are fighting, except they are not. And they put this in their voices.

And then... excuse me...

*We interrupt this thoughts for freaking out time*

HOW COME SHE IS CLEARLY NOT OKAY AND YET SHE STILL MANAGE TO BE GORGEUS??? AND WHY HEEEER??? SHE DOESN'T DESERVE THIIIIS!!! WHY YOU HAVE TO MAKE EVERYONE SUFFER, NINJAGO??? FIRST BEST GIRL PIXAL, WHICH IS STILL MISSING, AND NOW BEST GIRL SKY??? AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

*Thanks for the patience*

I mean, I can't complain, Sky is getting the attention she deserves!! I just... hopefully she'll be fine soon 😥😥

KAILOR HUG NEEDS TO HAPPEN AFTER THIS

Last but ABSOLUTELY not least, Harumi

For her I feel what I felt for Morro for a long time: nothing but hate since they were hurting my babies, then after hearing backstories and stuff I grew fascinated about them.

Rumi is definitely one of the best villain we ever had, so I felt the moment. THAT moment

A little convinient for the plot? Maybe, but still, we've got the confirmation she is not all evil. She's just really angry, full of hate, confused and alone. And I think she realized in that moment, saving that kid, that she doesn't want other people to feel her same pain

So... it happened

I have the feeling she died. Maybe I'm wrong, since Mr. E was destroyed, she kept his mask and managed to save herself somehow. I don't really know. We probably won't see her, at least not the next episode

For the last, who freaking know what will happen 😥😥

... I did it 😅 This episode was just so intense, I screamed to my mom to get out of my room I was so into it 😳😳

Hageman bros, Tommy, Ninjago crew, amazing job!! 👏👏👏

Now, only two episodes left! Skylor needs to wake up, Garmy is ready to make a mess, Lloyd's still powerless and Wu is taking Baron Iron to the dragon armor (almost forgot about that)

I want a big hug, a big group hug when they all come back 😢😢😢

Also, reminding the animation is AMAZING

I remember the Borg Tower from season 3, look at the amount of details now! I might sound annoying but I don't care, the animation here is a piece of heart

Last little thing:

"We learnt to not question him"

This is so true 😂 Like, seriously, Wu sometimes is so random? Let's just hope he's got a plan 😕😕

Thanks for reading, I think my fangirl heart possessed me a lot in here 😆😆

Season 9 is awesome!! How it will end? Can't wait to know!! 😁

Ninja Fusion Personalities and other character things +Music

So. For the past few days I’ve been hanging out with friends and in my head and on paper I’ve been brainstorming what fusions of the Ninja (from Ninjago) would be and behave like. I’ll work on the designs later but for right now I just want to share what my ideas are. Feel free to share you’re ideas or add more.

(And just for the sake of time and I don’t want to send my entire day writing this, I’m not going to write fusions including Lloyd, Nya, or Morro. I’m also not going to be talking about fusions with more than two people. Trust me, those will be posts for another day.)
