Hello?

NEW CHAPTER: FACTORY ARC

[dokidokitsuna]

GONE. AU

Fecto Elfilis Ruler of the Realm of Blood. Successfully conquered the Forgotten Land and resorbed its missing half. After consuming its mind-controlled subordinates, it took a liking to the practice, and now continues enslaving and devouring any life forms it finds during its invasions. Searching across dimensions for any remnant of the Ancient people who originally captured it, intent on brutal revenge.

Star Dream Ruler of the Realm of Stars. Absorbed the mind and soul of its creator, and recreated society in its own image, bringing a new age of Infinite Prosperity to the universe. The hopes and dreams of its mechanical people are its lifeblood, all connected through a hivemind that stretches across time and space. Wants only to continue freeing souls from the torments of the flesh and welcoming them to the perfection of the machine, and will eradicate anyone who stands in its way.

Master Crown Ruler of the Realm of Fate. Parasitized the body of a young mage many eons ago, and has since destroyed every trace of its original owner. So it believes. Although it may not be a match for its more established peers…who do and say things it finds unnerving, for some reason…its sole purpose is to rule, so it will do whatever it takes to bring them to their knees. Failure is impossible…so it believes.

The Arbiter God of Life and Death. Challenged three powerful entities to each prove themselves stronger than the other two, or have their existence brought to a swift end. In truth, they already know which one of the three they would like to take, and hope that this trial will be just the thing to finally break them.

[miqotepotatoe]

I put hi in more situations

Explainations bellow

⬇️⬇️⬇️

Fantasy Dream - Cole ends up lost in the Realm of Madness in an area where people live out a fantasy dream, each person assined a role to play in this never ending fairytale. Cole ends up with the role of a lost prince, who was hidden away in the woodlands to protect him from an evil sorcerer who wants to use the power he has with the Earth to rule the world. No one in this area of the Realm of Madness is aware the fantasy isn't real

Master of the Mountain - When Cole did the Spinjitzu Burst, he ended up merging with his element much like Nya would do in the future. Cole was not only the earth in Ninjago, but the earth all over the 16 realms. He occationally takes the form of a golem to aid those lost in caves. Two years later, the Earth and the Ocean are restored back to their human forms

Heart of Titan - To learn what has been causing the earth to scream, Cole and Geo set forth on a quest. They learn of a lost civilisation that was sealed away underground many millenia ago, and they want vengence against those that live above ground. They plan on awakening Titan, the physical manifestation of the Earth, and control it to burry everything on the surface. Cole & Geo must stop this, and Cole must make the ultimate sacrifice to save the world

King of the Cursed - The Cursed Realm wasn't destroyed, the ninja just killed the Queen of the Cursed. The ghosts of the Cursed Realm need a new ruler to keep the realm stable and to keep the cursed souls in check...so they drag Cole to the Cursed Realm and crown him the new king.

Lone Ninja - Villains the Ninja have faced before all team up to take out the ninja and rule Ninjago. They attack the Monastery in the dead of night, the building set ablaze and the mountain crumbled to dust, all the ninja perrish...except for one. The lone remaining ninja is on a quest for vengeance while also trying to survive the ruin hishome has become

Constrictai -Cole isn't freed from his hypnosis and is taken prisoner by the Serpentine. When Pythor tries to unite the tribes he has Cole turned into a Serpentine by a Fangpyre to use as a soldier. The ninja rescue him and are able to reverse the hypnosis, but it's too late to change him back to human. Cole is now a snake ninja

Cole-aline - Basically Coraline but with Cole. Dead mum, neglectful dad, perfect victim for the Beldam

The Little Merlopian - Cole has Little Mermaid origins. He was a Merlopian who dreamed of the surface and decided to run away to live a life on land. He made a deal with the Sea Sorcerer to exchange his voice for a human form, conditions being that Cole cannot touch sea water or else he'll transform back into a Merlopian and his soul will belong to the Sea Sorcerer. Cole lives out life on the surface as a ninja, until Seabound happens

I will not write the cowboy legend of Zelda au. I have a book to write, I will not write the cowboy legend of Zelda au. I have a book to write, I will not write the legend of Zelda au. I have a book to write, I will not—

[tennessoui]

is hanahaki a matter of unluckiness? or genetic predisposition? like i’m just thinking surely not All unrequited love breeds flowers… maybe level of devotion? (given sabe and obi-wan being examples) although i imagine if that was the case anakin would have been coughing up petals long ago… did obi-wan just lose the universe’s stupidest lottery because he’s the force’s unluckiest soldier? i’m imagining anakin just like. bartering with the force trying to bend it to his will to fix it if that’s the case

I’m definitely playing a bit fast and loose with the general rules of hanahaki in the hanahaki fic but the reason that obi-wan gets it even when anakin has been dangerously in love with him for like. sooo long & why anakin hasn’t developed it even when he thinks obi-wan doesn’t love him back will be explained later on!

but also lmao obi-wan would be unlucky enough to contract the flower dying disease and anakin would totally disavow the force forever and ever if he thought it was responsible for obi-wan dying

❀ Prompt: Villain

❀ Main characters: Yumi(OC), Sensei Garmadon, Kai, Jay, Cole, Lloyd, Zane, Pixal

❀ Timeline: Between seasons 4 and 5

❀ Summary: Yumi decides to gift every person in Ninjago the eternal happiness... As the Dream Master, she gets her own definition.

❀ Word count: 1526

╚ ⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤╔ ❀ ╗⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤ ╝

"You're doing very well, Yumi!" Garmadon's smile blinds her, but she doesn't mind, too happy to hear this compliment. "It's great you're getting more control of the Dream element."

"But, Master..." Yumi interrupts. "I'm still bothered by nightmares where you're gone, and I don't know what to do... They feel so real... And so painful..."

She sighs heavily. These nightmares have become her second life, and that hurts.

"Well, I think it's your last test from the Dream," Garmadon replies with kind smile. "You should choose which world you belong."

Yumi looks carefully at Sensei's face, and the feeling of hope lifts her spirit. If she has to fight nightmare, pain and suffering so everybody can live peacefully, free from sorrows and violence... She wiil do her best.

"So, what do you choose?"

"I choose eternal happiness."

*＊✿❀⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤❀✿＊*

Kai goes through the traning course, punching, kicking dummies and shooting them with fireballs. However, the last strike misses. He turns off the mechanism with a tired sigh.

"How's it going?" Yumi suddenly appears behind his back.

"AAAAH!" Kai screams and almost jumps away. "Ugh... You can't sneak and scare people like that!"

"Sorry." She smiles calmly. "So, how's your training?"

Kai looks at dummies and shrugs it off. "Eh, as usual..."

"But you look tired," Yumi notices.

"Maybe I've lost my fit a bit, but that's okay, I can deal with it." Girl stares at Kai, so intently that he starts to worry about it. "Um, what? Is something wrong with my hair?"

"No, I just think I can help you," she smiles again.

"You?" Kai raises his eyebrow in confusion. "I thought you didn't like combat training."

"Oh, I don't need to fight you. I've learnt a new technique to strengthen you," Yumi stretches out her hand. "Do you want to give it a try?"

"Hm... Sure, why not!" Kai gets kind of interested in her progress, so he gives a hand.

Yumi closes her eyes, and Kai feels how the energy fills his body. Weariness leaves him, he feels completely fresh and renewed. The Red Ninja makes a hit in the air and release a burst of fire, the strongest he's ever seen.

"Wow! What a feeling!" he laughs and destroys the annoying dummy on his way. "I've never felt so energetic!"

"Hey, can you be quiet?! I'm trying to-" Jay, who came out to complain, breaks off in mid-sentence, amazed. "Woah, that's so cool! How are you doing that?"

Yumi turns to him with the same calm smile.

"Do you want to try this technique of mine too?"

*＊✿❀⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤❀✿＊*

As Cole closes the fridge door and turns back, he almost drops his portion of snacks out of surprise.

"Hi, Cole," Yumi doesn't even move, smiling calmly.

"Oof, Yumi... How have you got here so quietly?"

"I've learnt some stealth recently."

"That's... That's good to hear," Cole smiles, however, he feels something weird. "Hey, I can't help but notice that you look better... I mean, you finally seem chill again as you were, well, before all the events."

Yumi remains silent and staring.

"... I'm sorry, did it sound bad?" Cole can't even read her expression. "I mean, I'm glad you're fine now. Not stressed or something like that."

"Thank you," Yumi replies. "I'm happy to hear it."

"Cool... Cool."

Cole grabs a snack and eats it, but doesn't get satisfaction.

"Something's wrong?" girl immediately asks.

"Eh, it's just not the same..." Cole sighs with frustration. "It's a hard time for Chen's Noodle House so their food is... So tasteless. Skylor promised to fix that, but for now I have to deal with-"

"Let me help you," Yumi interrupts and stretches out her hand closer to Cole's face. "My new ability will help you to feel the whole spectrum of tastes and even more."

"Uh, what? When have you learnt this trick?" Cole slightly moves away from her hand.

"That doesn't matter, friend. Kai and Jay have already tested it... And they're happy. Don't be afraid, let me help you."

"Okay... But only this time."

*＊✿❀⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤❀✿＊*

"Hey, Yumi, have you called me?" Lloyd enters the room and sees Yumi who leans on a sofa back. She looks at him with relaxed smile.

"I want to talk with you," she replies and makes a gesture to come closer. Lloyd makes a few steps and then notices Kai, Jay and Cole sleeping on the sofa.

"Huh... That's strange of them to sleep in the middle of the day," the Green Ninja notes.

"They've got tired of training so they're taking a nap now," Yumi slightly pats Cole's head. "Look, you know I had hard times... Everything was a mess..."

Lloyd looks carefully at Yumi as she talks. Something disturbs him, something surreal in details of her appearance. She let her hair down, though she always ties it up in two buns. There's no sign of bags under eyes, but it's too early for them to completely disappear. Her movements are very slow, and her eyes don't look at Lloyd... Yumi looks through him, right into his soul.

"But a miracle happened... I saw him."

"Who?.." Lloyd asks in confusion.

"Sensei Garmadon. Our mentor. Your father."

Yumi smiles, and an uncanny feeling strikes Lloyd.

"W-what?.. You must be joking, this is nonsense..." he mumbles.

"This is real, Lloyd!" Yumi sounds excited. "I meet your father in my dreams! My element has finally started to help me! And this way... Garmadon taught me how to control dreams!"

Lloyd sees a tone of craziness in her look.

"Look at our friends, Lloyd! They're happy thanks to Dream! Isn't it wonderful? These new abilities are amazing!"

Lloyd takes a step away, scared of Yumi.

"But you put them to sleep... How long have they been sleeping?!"

"An hour... Or two... Or five..." Yumi counts, getting closer to Lloyd. "But does it matter? They're happy! They're in the best world of all where all their dreams come true! And you can join them, you can finally see your father and never lose him again..."

"Yumi, that's not the way! You're crazy, come to your senses!"

"Oh, Lloyd..."

Yumi smiles and reaches for him. Lloyd tries to get away, but the Dream Master grabs his head and blinds him with her glowing pink eyes.

"I will help you reach the eternal happiness."

*＊✿❀⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤❀✿＊*

The Titanium Dragon flies above Ninjago City. Zane returns home from a mission. Looking down, he notices that city is... Dormant. The streets are covered in pink mist, and people are asleep on sidewalks, in cars, in their offices. Fortunately, there's no sight of car accidents.

"Pixal, can you analyze this fog?"

"I can't find any information in the database. But, I have to say, it seems to have the same structure as Yumi's elemental power. If I were you, I would hurry."

The dragon speeds up, and Zane gets home in a few minutes. Now it's clear for him that the source of fog is here. He walks through the rooms past the sleeping Nya, Master Wu, Misako... Everybody is asleep. Zane moves crosscurrent and finally reaches the source — Yumi. She floats in the lotus position, surrounded by sleeping ninja. As she pats Lloyd's head, her hand absorbs green sparkles of energy.

"You returned..." Yumi speaks slowly.

The Dream Master straightens her legs and floats closer. Zane gets an opportunity to look at her carefully, and her new appearance scares him. Yumi is wearing a dark-pink kimono with flower patterns, its sleeves and skirt slightly flatter. Yumi's hair float like in the water, and antlers made of cherry branches bloom on her head, filling the room with petals.

"What have you done?.." Zane asks quietly in disbelief. How have everything got out of hand so quickly?

"I... Sent them to a better world." Yumi smiles and looks right through Zane's heart with her eyes closed.

"You put them to sleep."

"The Dream Realm is the best home for these tired souls. It's always been."

"But they can't sleep forever. Yhey must wake up!" Zane insists, but Yumi just shrugs.

"You don't understand. You must join them and see. I will be your guide, Zane, you deserve joining the world of satisfaction..."

She reaches out to touch, but nindroid keeps the distance.

"I'm sorry to say it, but it's the wrong way, Yumi. Running from reality isn't a solution."

"The real world is cruel, violent and sorrowful. The Dream Realm gives them eternal happiness. There's nothing wrong, it's the only way to save Ninjago..."

"No!" Zane interrupts. "You can't choose for others. All you give them is the illusion of happiness, when they can experience real feelings in reality."

Yumi remains silent for a moment.

"You're being stubborn... You're afraid. If you can't believe me..." The Dream Master opens her eyes that turned pink. "Then I will show you the truth."

Yumi dashes to Zane and grabs him by shoulders. He struggles to free himself but fails. The Dream Master looks straight into his eyes.

"You're a nindroid, of course you think differently. But that's not a problem... You see dreams too. You're just like humans... And you deserve the eternal happiness too."

[scryillo]

and also the concept page for my vash podcaster au :)

[rhysiana]

I ended up rewatching The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity with a friend who had never seen it this weekend, and I am SHOCKED to report there isn't a single "oh no, the guy I had a one-night stand with the night before I started my new job is here" fic in this fandom.

I recognize that sometimes we simply must cook our own food, but since I don't have time to write such a thing in full right now, here is the vaguely sketched out snack-sized version:

Modern AU

Qingming and Boya have both been hired to work on the TV show debut of an idol/pop star (aka the princess)

Qingming is her stylist

Boya is security

They arrive in Hengdian the night before and meet in a bar

There is a group of stunt performers doing enthusiastic but increasingly drunk karaoke (they appear to be working on some xianxia show, judging by the way they keep calling each other by their character names of Killing Stone, Snow Hound, Mad Painter, etc.)

Killing Stone in particular appears to have just gone through a breakup and decides to perform an overly emotional rendition of a ballad

Boya makes a pained face, Qingming tells him to be more sympathetic, Boya insists if he was truly heartbroken he could at least get the words right

Qingming challenges him to do better

Boya does

Qingming has to, you know, reward him

The next day...

Boya wakes up alone, which he is not annoyed about, tyvm, much less awkward, he can go about his morning routine in peace, etc.

He arrives at the studio and starts getting shown around by the princess-actress's manager and introduced to all the people who will be on her regular team this time...

...including her new stylist, Qingming

Well, now it's awkward

As yet undetermined plot would have to happen from here, but it would definitely have to include:

Qingming in work mode, being extremely flirty with everyone (because he thrives on industry gossip)

Boya: seething in jealousy and mad about it

[sp1tballz]

Can you see the light?

[liminal-station]

Hey Mun, do you have a reference for Emmet/Ingo? Totally not planning on making fanart nope totally not whatsoever

[lemonadehtwooh]

So I think Merlin would definitely NOT be able to handle some of the second hand embarrassment Romeo gives

Romeo can't breakdown in peace 😔
