zane and kai bonded in the early seasons by discovering new music together. both didnt really have a great access to it growing up (there was an only an old radio or maybe a scratchy vinyl player in ignacia's library and zane's village had no electricity) so they mainly grew up hearing their respective villages' traditional live music. Hearing those 'end-of-2012-mashup' compilations changed both of their lives

#i loveee love love thinking about the implications of everyones backgrounds during the early seasons #cole grew up in the suburbs of ninjago city and also came from a rich (rich?? lou is rich right? hes famous?) family #so he came from the most privileged (in terms of wealth/location) background but not the most loving family #meanwhile jay had a very very close-knit family but he grew up poorer and more isolated in a desert but was still surrounded by technology #hashtag bring back jays country accent 2025 #both nya and kai and zane came from very rural areas (though zanes more rural if i can remember). ignacia had bamboo telephone poles #but you see little to no tech in the rest of the village so its safe to assume the little electricity they do have isn't the highest qualit #zanes village in my mind was a very tight community. It takes a village to raise a child yada yada. i think it was smaller than ignacia too #which adds to the everyone knows everyone aspect #theres also the factor that kai and nya seem?? quite separated from the rest of their village? their shop is on a hill fairly far from the #main community from what i remember in the pilots #i do think that when their parents first disappeared lots of village members stepped up to support them the best they could #but as kai and nya got older the help became less due to a mix of the two's own stubbornness and also the villagers deeming them old enough #with zane i imagine it to be an almost. Everyone's family kinda dynamic. people supporting people #but i loveee the added aspects of like. Different slang that everyone would use or music or clothes #im also just gonna guess that kai nya and zane didnt have access to like? videogames and stuff?#maybe kai and nya a little when their parents were around bc they cld afford it but like i said ignacia doesnt seem very high tech #so their first times playing would be with jay (who made his own little versions of gameboys and nintendos yada yada) and cole (who grew up #with a playstation)#theres also traditions and culture to think about!!!! the rural areas would probably have more conservative mindsets but also more #individual traditions. So it would be very interesting to see what kai nya zane picked up from their childhoods #and how it differs to jay and cole (mainly cole since he had the most 'typical' childhood)#URGHHH im going on such a rant but I DONT CARE. MY BLOG MY RULES #miz talks #ninjago #ninjago kai #ninjago zane #oppositeshipping #(i had to i loveee them)#when u and gang are both equally as astounded at techno music

'city kid' 'country kid'

what if I'm neither of those things.

what then?

#parker talks #why the dichotomy #not city not suburbs #but i wouldnt call it rural or country either #but the city kids make fun of me for being from a 'small town'

i'm so glad i've started having the mental and physical energy to go on walks again, bc vitamin D and cardio (and literally anything other than sitting at the computer all day) is nice, but the pure dopamine of saying "good morning" to 3-20 strangers first thing in the morning? unparalleled.

still obsessed with that man i asked what he'd been taking photos of when i inevitably caught up to him on one of his stops (it was birds) and he told me alllllll about local conservation efforts as we kept walking before parting ways at a fork.

still obsessed with that man who flagged me down while standing in his kayak in one of the lakes asking me to take a picture of him with the huge-ass fish he'd caught.

sociable strangers still one of my favorite things about moving to this country.

#i'm aware that living specifically in the SUBURBS is a big part of it #but like... russia just straight up doesn't have any suburbs like this #the 'suburbs' are just Slightly More Boring Urban areas #and in rural areas this doesn't happen either bc those people aren't STRANGERS #i grew up in the city and spent a lot of time in the country and BOTH have charms #but there's NOTHING quite like American suburbs to make friendly monkey brain go brrrrrrr #ich

was told 'oh yeah i can hear the australian accent now' and that my accent sounded 'cosmopolitan'

#like id 'lived in the city' .... i grew up in the suburbs 😭 actually it was almost rural when i was there #so for whatever reason my accent is slowly moving away from 'this is a tourist' to 'weird australian'....#to be clear the convo opened with 'do you have an american accent' or similar #and the post followed after i clarified i grew up here

sometimes I hear someone I’m speaking to online mention going somewhere I Know Is Near Me and I have to do a slow turn. what do you know about that…

#sorryyy I forgot everyone has physical forms and can exist IN my city #whatever #this is made 7x worse by having lived in vicinity/in three big ass cities #Chicago. New York. Dallas #okay #toooo beee fairrrr to Chicago. there’s jackshit in the suburbs. let alone rural areas #so it really is the same three places #LMGFSGOSOSOSKA #crepe rambles #Dallas and New York are a lot more scary. why are you Close.

Happy first day of pride!

I'm going to another town that's in the middle of corn fields to fuck and cuddle.

#at least I can get cell service all the way there #I like rural areas honestly I just wish I had the same resources as someone in the city #the suburbs are trash with no coziness and no resources just rich people and overpriced rent #notaterftip #not sarcasm

oh god dammit.

#cries about a fucking halo guy.#I CAN MAKE HIM BETTER AND WORSE!!! I KNOW HIM! HE'S ME SOMETIMES!#he even flamingoes out and gets scared man. he flamingos his sexuality and gets scared if it's engaged with.#he literally does the thing #the constant 'invites' that he definitely knows arent liked #he needs the control with sex #donut needs the control. but not all the time.#he doesn't mind handing it over because surviving can be just as much about just letting other people do the thinking #can be just as much about shutting down and letting everyone walk on you.#can be just as much as 'suddenly' becoming something unwanted and unliked because thinking isn't what you're supposed to do.#nobody likes your ideas. nobody listens. and when they do it's for dumb shit so you can be proven as the dumb one #dude. i grew up everywhere. i know city to rural to suburbs to woods to desert.#i know this: he is a victim and he has not healed.#i know: rt never intended to make him that deep.#i know: he is anyway.#nonsense thoughts

Because ever since I moved 2 hours north I’ve had to train myself to stop doing that little from the wheel wave:

#sorry suburbs you get nothing #op live in a tiny town and rural towns before #small town america #small town #big city #polls #I know this is a weirdly American thing

Deciding not to interact with people raised in suburbs ever again

#it's all around bad #not talking politics just like the ways of not getting other experiences and ways of relating to community #context i grew up rural then lived in a small city now a medium to big city #and i only can vibe with people from rural areas or cities #people even in leftist spaces from suburbs keep pissing me off #is this a bias yes #can people change yes #im just mad #and tired

it's funny bc nj is the most densely populated state, but that's bc our cities are insanely populated, like the area where i live is just straight up farmland

#personal #i grew up around atlantic city so while not nearly as urban as north jersey #it was still mostly suburbs #i only saw farms on field trips to like cornfields and pumpkin patches in the fall #or for blueberries in hammonton #then i moved to williamstown and i actually lived next to farms and it was just fascinating to me lol #where i lived in fl was also very densely populated while simultaneously being next to rural farmland #central fl is just fields full of cows and oranges

i love posts from people that are like “the reason we’re miserable is we’re not wandering through enough thunderstorms we need to get outside and experience nature” meanwhile the price of that is so devastatingly high if ur gay/trans bc rural areas in America suck fucking shit and are awful

#aberdeen spoken word #like I am actively Running out of this place to get to a city #I love cities #I love sidewalks I love buildings I love people I love little restaurants I love little flowerbeds I love how #the junk on the porch always looks like it’s meant to be there and not like some miserable family has been rotting there for three #generations #even if they HAVE I never get that impression I’m just like whoa cool collection #rural areas are so sad. you are so trapped. You are trapped in ways you can’t even imagine.#and none of u have to bc u make these posts in the Philly suburbs or whatever
