Nya: Jay can you buy this for me?

Jay: Of course, darling.

Cole: She— you can’t just pay for her!

Jay: Of course I can! I’m her boyfriend! I can get her whatever in the world she wants!

Cole: …not when we’re playing monopoly!

Um I decided to draw Cole because I love him and he’s just like me fr 🤞 and he was very fun to doodle!!

no matter what happens, no matter how much it hurts, you don't stop dancing, and you don't stop smiling, and you give those people what they want.

Thinking about how Ninjago S2 is probably one of my favorite pieces of television I've ever watched. It flows so well off of season 1 and allows those arcs to spread and grow.

It gave us the Mega Weapon, the Stone Army, the Overlord, lore for the Destiny's Bounty, let us actually meet Zane's dad, Misako, cured Garmadon, gave Lloyd his best arc (which the movie pretty much pulled from and the show still does), still is the Overlord's best defeat,

The characters actually have interesting dynamics with each and every one of each other that allows them to truly feel like a found family with history (and both Jay AND Kai get to react to things that happen to Nya, not just her Yin),

We got one of my favorite 3D-animated fights of all time,

And let's be honest, the show peaked right here (in a positive way).

Today's thoughts are about cole's true potential episode and how cole has grappled with being a disappointment pretty much since his mom died and in this episode Lou is so proud of him but cole knows he's lying to his dad and if he knew the truth he'd be so disappointed and his reluctance to tell the truth is because he's savoring this feeling of his dad being proud of him and man.

PUNK LOU🗣️🗣️🗣️

Basically, hc that Lou was a punk when he was younger

[penofwildfire]

My boyfriend just referred to Cole's school as the "Barbie Oppenheimer School of Performing Arts" and I am fucking losing it

[threemoonwatchers]

…And because

✨MEMES✨

AU where instead of abandoning Lloyd at Darkley’s Misako leaves him with the Ninjago equivalent of One Direction

Which I’d guess would be the Royal Blacksmiths wait that’d cause so many shenanigans

[almostaccurateninjagoquotes]

Zane: “She was poetry, but he couldn’t read.”

Kai: His name was Jared, he’s nineteen.

Lloyd: When his parents built a very strange machine.

Jay: Watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen.

Nya: Ayyy, Macarena.

Cole: Horrible job, everyone

[vampir3b0yx3]

Are they about to kiss

[howuart]

so what's everyone's thoughts on what Kai's side ability should be/should have been. Sine ya know he should get one to.

Cole has super strength

Jay has(d) super speed

Zane has foresight

what's kais?

[katie100katherine]

Hey why didn't they call Cole x Nya "wetstone" back in the day, it would've been perfect

[miqotepotatoe]

Me: [minding my own business in the shower]

Brain: hey you wanna see this new au i'm cooking up and already devolped a somewhat plot to

Me: why are you like this

Brain: autism

OBLIGATORY SNAKE!COLE AU BECAUSE I LIKE PUTTING MY FAV BLORBO THROUGH RANDOM SCENAREOS!!!

Cole doesn't get dehypnotised at the end of Home, as the Hypnobrai manage to get away before Wu & Nya arrive. He's taken prisoner along with Lloyd, and is kept in a hypnotic trance to prevent him from fighting back. Skales lets Lloyd get away but keeps Cole because he's strong.

When the Hypnobrai & Fangpyre team up, Skales allows Fangdom to turn Cole into a Serpentine. He ends up a Constrictai.

The Ninja are super focused on stopping the Serpentine mostly to save Cole. They rescue him in Can of Worms, when durring their little infiltration of Pythor's first attempt at uniting the five tribes, the ninja end up facing off against a Constrictai with messy dreads and a ripped up ninja gi weilding a very familliar scythe.

They manage to knock him out and bring him back to the Bounty, where Wu msnages to dehypnotise him using some tea made from Hypnobrai antivenom (Zane stole the Hypnobrai staff). Cole was completely unaware of everything that happened durring his hypnotisim, so the last thing he remembers is the plot to wreak Lloyd's treehouse. Waking up after being stuck in a hypnotic trance for a month only to find yourself a snake is not fun.

He gets used to the snakeness pretty quickly. He likes to burry himself in dirt and take dirt naps. Shedding is annyoing along with scales molting, and cake tastes 10x better with his new heightened taste. But he also has to deal with snakeism for a bit until humans and Serpentine finally make peace (the Tournament of Elements was not fun, especially with Chen eyeing him like a crazy stalker)

okay SO y'know how in the FIRST first season Nya gets kidnapped by garmadon and kai joins the ninja to save her? What if he didn't go with sensei Wu cause "who TF are you and what do you want with my sister-" and he trys fighting garmadon on his own, nearly getting killed before Nya unlocks her water powers (instead of kai unlocking his fire powers) and escapes on her own, joining the ninja instead of kai, who goes back to their blacksmith business and just continues doing that, but in this au he's a good fucking blacksmith bc he had to be, and also he practiced when nya was off doing cool ninja stuff.

then when Lloyd enters the picture kai also comes back into it, as he found Lloyd in the desert while he was looking for the serpentine, and kai was just on a walk when he find him. Lloyd passes out bc of the heat and Kai's like wtf and brings him back to the shop, sending a letter to Nya cause she mentioned some dumb kid with a cool hoodie causing trouble and Lloyd fits that description pretty well. So after Lloyd wakes up, he gets time to just be a kid cause canon refused to give him that- and when the ninja pop by, Kai's like "yeah kids in the back. He's just reading some of your old textbooks, sis. you guys can come pick em up, except for you wu, you son of a-" and they pick him up, he's the green ninja, blah blah blah, anyhoo!- at the point in the show where Nya unlocks her water powers, instead, it's kai unlocking his fire powers! (Obviously with some changes to the season as a whole for that- cause fire doesn't do shit against ghosts-)

Anyhoo, it pretty much goes like-

"hey guys I'm gonna go see my brother." "oo! Can we come?" "I guess??? I'm going by train though, since he hates it whenever I just fly in on my dragon." "I'm sure it'll be fine if we just drop in near town, nya. No need for a train." (It wasnt. They got scolded for making kai fuck up an important order with their landing.)

But later, Cole, jay, and Zane are 'training' (playing) in the yard in front of the forge, and Kai's working on some stuff, when Lloyd bursts in through the door, hoping to scare someone- kai's shocked, and jumps back, right into the open flame he was working with. He gets up and everyone's staring at him in shock. Kai's like "what?" And they're all like "HOW ARE YOU NOT DEAD-"

So someone runs and gets Nya, and they figure out Kai's the 'master of fire'. He's hesitant to join them at first, since he just found out he has powers and also has no ninja training whatsoever, but Nya finally convinces him, and he becomes part of the team. He already knows how to fight, and spends most of his time either in his cabin, or below deck in the makeshift forge he made. Just because he became a ninja doesn't mean he'd give up the family business!

And instead of Samurai X, there's some idiot in red running around with a sword ♡.

Anyways, y'know how earlier I mentioned how the season would be changed around a bit to fit this au? Yeah, heres most of the changes!!

Morro is still a dick, and he still possess Lloyd! Instead of kai fighting him, it's Nya, as her being Lloyd's big sis is more prominent. Water still is the only way to kill a ghost, but the preeminent is too big and too strong for even a tsunami to truly work. Nya passes out due to exhaustion and kai, who was technically there to deliver a set of armour to a customer, goes into protective big brother mode and sets the preeminent on fire- like, he sets the bits of Stix that she used as armour on fire since it's wooden, and manages to sink her via the pain of burning alive. Instead of the side focus on nya's training to become the water ninja, it's on Kai's struggles to seperate himself from work as a blacksmith, his feelings of never quite being enough compared to the other ninja, his fear of hurting people with his powers instead of helping them, and how he doesn't feel like he truly belongs, because of the bond the other ninja formed throughout the seasons. And unlike with Nya, Kai's not with them on their travels. He's in the blacksmith's shop. He doesn't get to see his little sis save the world, or risk her life day in and day out. He's not apart of their adventures until his fire powers are realized.
