#bending but never breaking

[tornoleander]

Steady Steady Jay animatic

Tiz done enough FEaST my jay angst people.

Been working on this for over a week It’s a lil wonky but I tried my best.

Time to hide under a rock cause people are going to be seeing it.

[spinjitsuburst]

oh i wonder what this is

[writing-hat]

Out of curiosity, and you don't have to answer if you don't want to.

how would jay (from your fic) react to seeing or hearing about Arrakore?

SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG TO ANSWER I needed to figure out how it would happen (idk if this is complete or not but it should be)

anyway bbnb!jay meeting Arrakore!

oh he would FREAK OUT

Like, real and heavy panic attacks that make me absolutely tense every time I write them

He would not feel safe every time he's around Arrakore, and panic alone in a room as soon as he can or something I think.

because Nadakhan kept lying to him about how djinns really were (for intimidation purposes mainly, but also because he was pursuing his own sort of ideal that lead to him getting banished from his homeworld (I'll explain all that in another fic that's taking me a while to write dw about it for now)), Jay is going to think Arrakore has to be lying all the time, or at the very least playing with them

He might even think Arrakore might be planning revenge for his people, like Nadakhan had, or is at the very least working with him or something

First scenario. First meeting might be Jay freaking out with his powers going insane, and him actually loosing control for the first time in a while. This might lead to Arrakore trying to help him control his powers, only for everything to get worse.

Or, second scenario, Jay might attack on purpose, trying to get rid of someone he knows is an enemy. There's no way that djinn would be on their side, and his friends trust him cuz they don't remember. That's it. Nya? She trusts the guy, but she can be wrong, and that's okay. He'll do the dirty work for her

3rd scenario would be Jay not attacking, after being told by the others not to, but being tense, not letting him out of his sight for even a second. Or trying to avoid him.

If it's during his amnesia, I'm considering the first or third being more of what could happen. I do like the idea of him not knowing why he's so scared, why he's so terrified of someone he's never known

Maybe even have Nadakhan's face replacing the Arrakore's every now and then, and him not really knowing what to do

I have multiple ideas mainly because I'm not done with my fic, and I have not decided on what the resolution of his emotions or powers is going to be. I mean, I have something I consider a vague idea, but based on how I handle it, Jay is going to have more or less control of himself whenever things like those are going to happen to him

Also, depending on whether Arrakore knows it's because of Nadakhan or not, his actions are going to be very much different as well

Cuz he knows how much of a twisted bastard the banished prince was, and he knows he must've done something terrible if Jay panics whenever he sees him like that

The worst in this, is that I see Arrakore being a kind and good soul, always trying to help out the lightning ninja

only for it to ultimately fail

But yeah! Overall, Jay would be terrified, and not trusting of Arrakore. He'd even try to get rid of him at all cost, and if he understands that his friends trust that guy, then he might try to do that behind their backs. I am one to believe Jay would be ruthless when it comes to a situation that is serious, especially if it's to protect his friends

An even twisted way for things to happen, would Jay taking sorta revenge about Nadakhan on Arrakore. How? Plenty of ideas there, idk if you guys want me to elaborate cuz this is already VERY long (and I'm sorry about that MJKERRLGK I digress easily help)

(Of course this would be resolved but it would take TIME. so so much TIME. And I am one to take time and write a lot when it comes to comfort and all so yea.)

thank you for the ask!! and I hope this answered properly

see you around!

I've never read a fanfic more traumatizing/ rlly amazingly written/srs

Bbnb (bending but never breaking) is amazing. But read it's tags if you do plan on reading it- (its by writing_hat on ao3)

[sharksandjays]

Hi! I’ve seen lots of posts on BBNB from different creators and its intrigued me into wanting to read the fic, but no matter what tags I look at, how much I search, I can’t find the title😭

Is BBNB the title? Is it an abbreviation? SAVE ME

(Love your art btw <3)

Hi! Glad you like my art anon!

It's called Bending But Never Breaking. Sorry for the misunderstanding!

Just a warning, though, the fic is really really dark. Major TWS for...pretty much everything. I wouldn't recommend it if you are below 17 years old. MASSIVE warning for all that.

Otherwise, enjoy it! It's a very well written work by @writing-hat and I think you should show it some love. :)

[sillystupidgayartkid]

Ninjago fanfic writers look at jay and ask “is anyone gonna torture that?” And even though everyone says yes they do it anyways

[mean-vampyre]

How does she keep inventing new genre of hot women I don't know

[chonnysinferno]

funny malmal stuff

posting at 1 AM!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍 (im gonna get killed)

anyways end-world normapathy is. HMS coded btw

[weregonnabecoolbeans]

It's unfortunate that since Ahsoka existed exclusively in animation for so long...

a place where what she was able to do really had no limits...

no matter what..her live-action appearances are gonna feel like a step down

they could have the greatest stunt team in the world but the fact is no human being can move like this fictional animated alien

Love means seeing beauty in the ugly, the light in the dark. Love means turning yourself inside out, handing yourself over to somebody else, and trusting them. Trusting them to touch you, to handle you, to bend you but never, ever break what you give them.

[bumblingbabooshka]

Something about this interaction between Harry & Janeway - specifically Janeway but it's notable that Harry's the one listening because I think, say, Chakotay or B'Elanna might push back against the idolization of this 'it was different back in those days' way of thinking.

My rough week has not been going well for Jay 👍

CW:Blood/gore

Fear that you can’t reverse 

[spinjitsuburst]

I’ve been reading a very very very dark Skybound Fic all night and I feel slightly ill but I’m so so obsessed with literally every “how Jay’s lightning works” headcanon

[writing-hat]

alright. it is time for me to stop running away from my responsabilities.

Bending, but never Breaking - Chapter 15

THIS CHAPTER WILL BE TRIGGERING AND FRUSTRATING AND JUST SO MUCH IN GENERAL GOD PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS I AM BEGGING YOU.

AND DON'T READ ANY OF THAT STUFF IF YOU'RE TRIGGERED EASILY BY THOSE TAGS!!!!!

Always know what is good and not good for you to read! >:0

Other then that, enjoy!

[phil-lesterfan]

all those anti-batjokes “you shouldn’t ship it and here’s why” posts don’t work on me bc half the reasons i ship it are due to their status as enemies and being hero/villain. “but death in the family! the killing joke!” people cry — i call that seasoning, adds a little spice to the dish.

[jabberwockprince]

since we're all having fun talking about theories and headcanons before the game drops. one thing that i do want for missing link, that is mostly wishful thinking on my part, is a reveal for kairi being a descendant of the player

this is based on their parallels of being shooting stars later found washed up on a beach from the new missing link trailer, plus that one moment from KH1 where kairi's grandma tells her about the age of the fairytales and nothing else lmfao

and i want that so badly because. it would be so fucking ironic and poetic to have kairi be a direct descendant of the one person that raised and cared so much for xehanort. the player, whose memories of ephemer and skuld and chirithy and everyone else influenced xehanort into starting his whole ass spiral and descent into darkness

only for her (and sora) to be the ones to get xehanort to stop in the end. ending a cycle of sorts. for her to be haunted by the memory of xehanort, the same way xehanort was "haunted" by the memory of the player's past life

PLUS. i want it to SPECIFICALLY recontextualize kairi's inheritance of the keyblade from BBS. because kairi's reason to wield a keyblade being nothing more than an "accident" feels like such a disservice to her AND aqua??

if they could recontextualize xehanort into whole new depths in dark road, i dont see why they couldn't reframe that moment as kairi reclaiming a dormant power, her own heritage that her bloodline forgot for centuries, since knowledge about keyblades and wielders began to fade out over time to the point where people who KNEW about them thought they were evil. makes sense that as the age of fairytales is left FORGOTTEN, no one can remember how to summon a keyblade, let alone the knowledge to create one from someone's heart. but having a strong heart (one of the requisites for bequeathing ceremonies) and being in direct contact with a keyblade, could just. help jog the memory a bit

and show that yeah. kairi deserves to wield a keyblade because she has a strong heart, and because this was her heritage that was taken away from her when the worlds began to drift away from each other and so on. not because of an accident

everytime chance, fate and destiny are brought up in the saga to explain why something. happened the way it did. it carries so much weight and so many events that led to That Point. but kairi's inheritance as of right now was just. yeah, an accident. no ceremony at all AND I JUST THINK SHE DESERVES RLLY COOL THINGS OKAY
