#i think it was nadakhan anyway-

[c-c-v]

Da fluffing- Had another Morro dream again, and I swear to everything I just feel like he's gonna have some apperance in DR,

But in this dream he had like a apprentice or pupil something, least it felt like it with this new ghost character that poofed in my dream, he's wild with using dual blade, or two handed weapons.

It also probably doesn't help a new djin poofed in as the problem, dunno if it was legitimately Nahdakan or how's it spelled, but yeah one of the djins lackys apparently stole one of Morro's mechs?? And man arrived instantly to get back what was his, with little ghost side kick.

The ghost kid had a name I know I hear it, but I just can't remember it, I feel like it was Mono, or something, sounded similar to Morro's name, but anyway, there another Ninjago dream rant to the list.

Oh yeah, and around the end for angst purposes, some vortex appeared and starting whipping the ninja and others away, and Wu was there, holding on as that man looked to Morro, yelling out for him and reaching to him, Morro hesitate completely till seeing Wu being ripped away, and I'm pretty sure I hear Morro calling out to Wu like 'master Wu', or sensi Wu, either or it was a moment :3

[spinjitsuburst]

holy shit i've spent the past four real life days trying to beat a minigame in stardew valley and i couldn't beat it until today i was doing it and i zoned out while thinking really hard about the logistics of vengestone production and distribution prior to the events of crystalized and i beat it moral of the story zone out and think about a very specific aspect of ninjago you can accomplish anything

[writing-hat]

Spoil for chapter 14 of my own fic? I guess? This is Nadakhan's alternate death, that I had to scrap for reasons explained below

And cw for um gruesome way of death

I had another death planned for Nadakhan when I wrote the end of chapter 14 that I didn't use because it was way too unrealistic (yes more then what I wrote) and because I FORGOT THE DAMN WISH WHEN I WROTE IT

I kind of- left myself get taken by the current of writing y'know

And, as bittersweet as it sounds, Nadakhan hadn't realized (well I hadn't realized) that Jay was indeed broken, because nothing can make it up for what he's been through. Here, his frustration was quick to be resolved, which didn't sound right. Especially when dealing with Nadakhan, of all villain.

Someone who won no matter the outcome.

[punches their wall again at the thoughts]

And that caused Jay to never be satisfied with whatever he'd do

[Breaks wrist by punching the wall again]

BUT it did not have the Jay taking Nadakhan's eye away part which I thoroughly enjoyed writing afterwards to make up for the scenes I had given up. Sigh.

But hey! Here's a snippet of what I had written! Enjoy!

-----

Jay came behind, watching what he had done so far.

The arm he had taken off was slowly burning, the electricity left there making the skin turn a dark shade before the fire ate it away. It amused him, if anything. Especially when it came to watch the torn shoulder, badly torn, with the putrid liquid being forced out at the absence of the limb it was supposed to keep alive.

Nadakhan coughed. Painfully. It was a melody to his ears.

But it didn’t feel enough. It never did.

Groaning, he got closer. What was there to do? What more could he do to the one that had taken everything away from him?! He couldn’t figure it out, and it made him more frustrated. The static around grew thicker, heavier. Nadakhan cried as it pushed him further into the ground, not feeling into himself a way of fighting back.

Then, burning fingers came on his back, pulling away the armor as if it was made of nothing but scraps. He threw it to the side, discarding it far away from here, and placed his hands on the djinn’s back- hands that were made of pure energy, tearing his skin apart as it searched for something-

There.

He took the spine, and pulled on it. Not quite breaking it apart- no, that would be too easy. Would kill that asshole too quickly. Instead, he made it so the bone was sticking out, simply making sure that it wasn’t protected, yet still connected to the nerves.

The body under him twitched and screamed, as he agonized in horror.

Not enough. Not enough.

He had one final wish.

There was something else he wanted to take away. Something that intrigued him too much.

“I wonder if you have a heart. You fucking monster.”

Before an answer could be given- if there even was an answer to be done, he speared through the man’s back, right where he knew the vital organ to be.

“Let’s see if you survive this.”

In a blink, he was in front of Nadakhan, and pulled the heart out, warm and bloodied in his hand.

The body got electrocuted as he did, and he watched with envy, as the eyes immediately dulled, not before a veil of pain made them roll in the back of his skull.

Then, Nadakhan fell limp. Nothing showed that he was still alive, no. Nothing to show that something would grow back. Instead, a dark pool kept extending under him, slight twitches from the electricity still coursing inside.

Other then that, everything became silent, aside the rumbling of the storm that was nothing but comfort to him. A storm that stood proud, and understanding of his choices.

Nadakhan was dead.

And suddenly, he felt bliss.

[jays-therapist]

okay last post before i drop off the face of the earth:

So I was kind of thinking about why Nadakhan didn't just nab Jay's ass with the djinn blade. Like I understand that he was feeling vengeful and all after his realm was destroyed, but Jay's capture was lowkey integral to the strengthening of his powers and the creation of djinnjago??? Once Nadakhan was starting to get desperate (and remember, the djinn blade only needs to strike someone to take their soul or whatever) why didn't he just,,, rock Jay's shit?

So, I have three theories that aren't just "the writers probably forgot lmao". One of them is really leaning towards headcanon so... sorry about that.

Reason #1: It's a matter of pride. Nadakhan likes to be in power. He likes to be the one pulling the strings. To manually force Jay into the sword is to admit defeat, in a way. It means that Nadakhan gave up in the long run, it means that when he said, "on my ship, I will break you," he was wrong. It means that no matter how much power he acquires, he'll have always been psychologically bested by some junkyard kid he found in an alleyway.

Reason #2: Nadakhan is a Dumbass. Like he just never thought of that and no one on the Misfortune's Keep brought it up. Well, Clancee did while Jay was cleaning the hull again but no one listened to him.

Reason #3: Okay, this is very dumb and unlikely and it might contradict canon but stay with me. Nadakhan can't. The djinn blade, when in a djinn's hands, operates by djinn rules. Its magic is only meant to serve/fight for others. If Nadakhan uses it, it's just a sword, but if, like, Flintlock uses it, than it's some pocket-dimension teleportation machine. And Nadakhan knows this but he hates the idea of anyone other than him holding his sword. So this solution is never brought forth.

[sharksandjays]

Once again rambling about Jay and his awesome power. One thing I've noticed about him, especially with his power, is that it seems to tax him a lot more than the others' does. Probably because of the power and intensity of lightning. I've seen so many posts about how Jay uses a very small voltage when he fights because he doesn't want to hurt people, but what seems to be supported by the canon is that it also hurts him. Every time he deals with pure lightning bolts (rather than just shocks), he seems to hurt himself in the process. This is proven in season 14 when he is literally sparking after recharging the ship.

And judging by his expressions, it's affecting him. It hurts and exhausts him.

And in season 6 and season 8 we see how dealing with direct bolts of lightning affects him. In season 6, he screams when it hits him.

And in season 8, he gets physically exhausted for a moment after redirecting.

At least from what I have seen, this is very different from the other ninja, who seem to be able to control their elements-for the most part-at different intensities without it affecting them. (Aside from Lloyd.)

Which just brings me to the point that I personally believe that Jay's power is the most powerful of the creation elements. He doesn't use it to its full potential (and KO enemies, like he could) because, while he can handle like 900 million volts (in season 6 he's struck by like 3 direct bolts of lightning, and survives), that doesn't mean he will be combat ready after that.

This might also be why Wu brought him into the team early (with Cole). He probably needed a lot more training on pain tolerance, keeping the mind and body calm, and probably lots of other endurance training. (Which is indirectly canon with how well he was able to handle Nadakhan's mental and physical torture vs the other ninja.) His power is so unpredictable, and so his training must have been very rough when he first got his powers, which is once again supported by the canon as both Nya and Lloyd talk about how he destroyed the South(?) Wing of the Monastery with an electrical fire while practicing his powers. Wu probably had to focus on his control a lot more than with the other ninja (probably like how he had to with Nya, if you think about it. Lightning and Water are both hard to control, so concentration would be key to learn for both of them, which is ironic with Jay's fanon ADHD).

Point is, Jay is super cool and so underrated sometimes. I really think it'd be cool if the show went more into how their powers affected them! Though speculation is also fun.

Anyways. Jay with the lightning chicken because they would be (are) besties.

[s0ull3ss-p3rs0n]

I think Arrakore and Nadakhan should be bitter exes for absolutely no reason. I just need them to hate each other more. The breakup could be so nasty, like, idk something about them being together and Nadakhan finding Delara during the relationship (that was going to fall apart anyway) and either there was cheating or a very nasty breakup in general. I am.mentally unwell

skybound Thoughts

sooo uh, im thinking about doing a rewrite of ninjago skybound.

im currently rewatching it because of this, and in case i never get around to actually writing anything, im gonna word-vomit onto this hellsite (affectionate) cuz im having Thoughts.

quick tangent though, skybound seems very similar to danny phantom (at least in how the fandom treats it) in the sense that, when you actually watch it, it's pretty tame and honestly kinda shit. but then you dig deeper. and you see the Implications and Possibilities, and suddenly it has you by the throat with all the ways this could have gone if it wasn't a kids show.

like, in skybound you get genuine torture and creepy implications on nadakhan's part (seriously, get away from jay and nya you fucking creep), and while it's never really explored since, y'know, kids show, it makes nadakhan one of the best and most terrifying villains i personally have watched in ninjago.

anyway, here are a couple of things i've been toying with in terms of a possible rewrite:

one thing im thinking about taking from various other fics i've seen (i think its mainly shown in bending but never breaking, which is an absolutely amazing fic and you should go read it but MIND THE TAGS AND TRIGGER WARNINGS PLEASE) is jay learning to use the electricity in his body, though obviously not painlessly

bonus points for his elemental power getting royally fucked up once/if the vengestone is removed, but in the sense of suddenly he is completely overwhelmed and his power is so much stronger and its a danger to both himself and others

queerplatonic jaya: i think in this season especially, nya felt very aroace coded (i might just be projecting as i myself am aroace, but that's the vibe i got) and so for a skybound rewrite nya and jay would have a serious conversation about how nya doesn't feel that way for anyone, even if she *does* really like jay

just general angst and torture

id rewrite jays obsession with nya, specifically his first wish (if i dont just jump right into him being on misfortunes keep)

i think id like to do something more with delara than just her being some dead girlfriend. i.e.: i'd make her fucking unhinged and the kind of person that would fall in love with and support nadakhan.

i really liked @cotidianoseeder's idea for canary!jay, so possibly something in that direction

i also really like it when people keep serpentine aspects in jays character, so some of that as well

fuck it, make him inhuman, y'know?

i'd age everyone up i think (i dunno how old they are in skybound, but a 17 minimum would be in my rewrite)

OH! i'd put bruiseshipping as a romantic relationship cuz i love them

nya would make the final wish, since a big part of her character would be forging her own story and taking control of her own life

zanes falcon would survive cuz i love that fucking bird

echo would be taken off the island post-rewind

what do y'all think??? i keep having more ideas, i might post them

[tornoleander]

I'm in the middle of reading wytyaa cuz I saw you mention it at some point and it sounded cool

Anyway, if wytyaa Jay and bbnb Jay ever met, and you somehow got them to traumadump on eachother, both of them would think "First Master, this guy went through hell. Compared to him I had it easy." Meanwhile neithed had it easy and both went through hell.

Might be wrong cuz I haven't finished wytyaa yet but I'm gonna go back to reading now byeeeeee

Oh I’m going to rant for a while because I love talking about and comparing these Fics.

YES, I can absolutely see both them sitting there and invalidate their own experiences. (Unless one of them gets a very important lesson about comparing Trauma)

Art under cut

Trauma dumping though? Currently I doubt wytyaa Jay would. And while bbnb Jay seems willingly to talk to his therapist there’s not a chance 16 year old him from an alternate universe will learn the extent of the shit I had to read through.

The have similar canon complaint story line, to an extent. Both fix my many issues with Cannon and add so much more. Both deal in forced labor extreme physical abuse blood wounds broken bones Starvation With emotional abuse from Nadakhan’s and the crew. But everything beyond that is where things drastically differ

Biggest difference being Explicit vs Mature

Wytyaa being vaguely 16+ and won’t go past implying anything sexual. So a lot is left to interpretation, which is usually easier to handle.

While Bbnb has be 18+ Does not shy away from anything….. no matter how much you wish it would most popular ninjago dead dove for a reason.

Wytyaa Jay is drugged out for the 2 months he has to deal with the withdrawal and wiped memories coming back to him. This scrambles the order you learn about what he went through. Vengestone sorta poisons him, the power suppression is painful and causes long term damage.

In the end Neither Jay is given a moment to feel safe and comfortable over months they are always in extreme danger this is the sort of damage that turns ptsd into C-ptsd✨

Like you said, neither had it easy they both went through hell.

But while comparing trauma is ultimately unhelpful experiences effect people differently both Jays are very traumatized I can tell you one of these was A LOT harder to get through as a reader. VERY much not the same reader experience.

Here’s are the fics with the obligatory READ THE TAGS and warnings at the top of each chapter. They are there for your safety when r themes of sa can be helpful and hurtful to some. Know what you can handle..

When you think your all alone by @mondothebombo

Bending but never breaking by @writing-hat

Both authors are awesome and have read each other Fics lmao.

Never posted this but a long while ago when both fics left off on angst for a long time I messaged them the same thing and got these replies.

The Audacity of hat to blame mondo lol.

If any of you like these fics follow me cause I have a lot of art coming. Also if you have any asks don’t be shy! I could rant for so much longer.

[cable-salamder]

I’ve been fixated on Ninjago for 5 months now, and I have no idea what gi to draw them in. It changes every once or twice a season and I’m like 😔. How do you decide?

Oh wow that’s a very interesting question actually

For me, I just go by what season I’m thinking of drawing them in, because that also usually influences what I’m actually drawing (For example if I were to draw, I dunno, Nadakhan, then that would dictate that everyone should wear their season 6 gis); There are also a lot of instances where my drawings are just add ons or different renditions of an already existing scene, so I draw whatever they are wearing there.

However for anything else I sometimes don’t even end up drawing their gis. They are often complicated and I am lazy, so, instead, I put them into casual clothing (especially if what I’m drawing itself is casual/ doesn’t require them to wear their suits, I think it works really well to have them wear normal stuff because I guess it makes them also just normal people? Idk maybe that’s a bit of a very deep reason for something so silly.)

Anyways the point is that I think if the drawing isn’t directly correlating to a scene from the show, then drawing the gis isn’t particularly necessary unless you want to, in which case I could just pick whichever one is your favourite and go with that :] (one of my go-tos is always their gis from DR s1), and otherwise I’d pick the one that is most often shown in that season/ that they wear in sets and such

[artyfartyperson]

so that Skybound Time Loop AU's pretty cool. You really saw this guy go through the worst thing ever and said "do it again :)" and I stan you for your bravery <3

so does he just keep phrasing his last wish the same way or does try to specify which teapot he meant but Nadakhan just keeps twisting his words? also wouldn't it be funny if the "old teapot" that then goes missing is one of Wu's teapots?

That’s so interesting eats you alive woah who did that

I think he would try and rephrase a few times, but you’re so right Nadakhan would so twist them anyways as he usually does!!! I’d imagine Jay also has to be very careful about how he rephrases as well, because on one hand yeah that could lead him to breaking the time loop and he could stop tweaking for a second!!! But on the other hand he wouldn’t want to mess up horribly or cause something he can’t change or fix. I like to think that the wish is a hugemungus double edged sword that he has to try and change to break the loop, but also not be twisted into something horrible ✌️

[skrunklydoo]

i couldnt get enough of the ninjago monster high au i and @lonleyzodiac made so we made an ever after high au as well

the characters are all the sons and daughters of fairy tales with their elemental powers being tied moreso towards their heritages rather than anything else

the parents are more loosely based on the fairytale characters they stand in for tbh anyways characters under the cut

in no particular order, here’s some characters + their alignments (royal (will/wants to follow in the footsteps (destinies) of their parents) or rebel (will not follow their destinies), they’re all standins but not direct remakes of the EAH characters:

lloyd garmadon (rebel) - son of garmadon (or the evil king i guess)

nya hearts (rebel) - daughter of the knave and queen of hearts (intended to follow the destiny of the knave of hearts (being put on trial and punished for a crime she didn’t commit))

kai hearts (rebel (former royal)) - son of the knave and queen of hearts (intended to follow the destiny of the queen of hearts (becoming king of wonderland))

cole brookstone (rebel (former royal)) - son of the big bad wolf

jay hatter (rebel (former royal)) - son of the mad hatter

euphrasia charming (royal) - daughter of prince charming (standin for darling charming)

percival charming (royal) - son of prince charming (standin for daring charming, he constantly went after sora who was just not into him until he met arin)

echo julien (rebel) - a pinocchio-like character cursed to become a villain in his destiny (he’s cursed to become mr. e)

scott thorne (rebel (former royal)) - son of the dark fairy (clarification: in this au scott acts nothing like faybelle, he’s an absolute sweetheart in this don’t worry)

jordana jester (royal) - daughter of the joker card

vania beauty (rebel (former royal)) - daughter of sleeping beauty

akita blanc (royal) - daughter of the white rabbit

morro huntsman (rebel) - son of the huntsman (snow white)

wyldfyre (rebel) - daughter of beauty (beauty and the beast)

jacob piper (pevsner) (rebel) - son of the pied piper

wu - FSM’s son, resident man-trapped-in-the-library-and-forced-to-speak-riddlish of the AU

garmadon - lloyd’s father, the evil king, wu’s brother and FSM’s son

the ships in this au (i always have to include ships i’m sorry /hj) are: technoshipping (jay x zane), lostshipping (cole x geo), citrus/deadbolt(?)shipping (echo x morro), royalshipping(?) (vania x harumi) and windtech/typewriter (sora x euphrasia) + not really a ship but percival having a massive one-sided crush on arin (who is completely oblivious to said obvious crushing)

most character last names are carried over from ever after high btw

characters crushing on other characters in EAH will be removed in this AU due to age differences unless stated otherwise

if you want to ask questions about any of my AUs, please do!!

@mondothebombo help

[writing-hat]

man I'm rewatching skybound (help) to focus on the misfortune crew so here's a kinda long ramble about Flintlocke and Nadakhan friendship below

the way Flintlocke's voice shakes when he says to Nadakhan he's doing a mutiny. when he says "stay right there"

I know it's most likely from fear, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was out of a broken heart too like- it's his captain. one he has most likely spent years at sea with. the one he'd trust with his life, and must've done so. most likely his best friend. AUGH

And how Nadakhan reacts to it, too! he gets angry, he doesn't believe what he's hearing! how dare they not trust him? (gee I wonder why)How is Flintlocke daring him to change things around?

Can you imagine watching someone you care about diving into some kind of infinite madness, and you not able to do shit about it? And it's not like Flintlocke could help much. Since yknow Nadakhan just lost all his people in a single moment after spending 300 years inside a teapot, and after losing the one he loves, too. And he sees something is wrong the moment he sees Nya. He knows Nadakhan too well, and I take it he's used to the captain sharing plans with them if he's already hella suspicious when Nadakhan doesn't tell him what he has in mind when coming back from Djinjago

And he's not the only one; like the whole 'close' crew (as I like to call them) notices how their captain is kinda getting distant? and losing it

But like what are you supposed to do about that? especially since they're pirates, and the captain has to be kind of scary if he still wants to handle psychopaths under an iron grip of some sort

And they were ready to trust him. To the end, I guess.

fuck! Nadakhan just ruined all that was left to him during skybound, didn't he? what a fucking idiot.

And Jay was this close to do the same with his own friends huh (NOT TO THAT EXTENT GUYS COME ON-)

I just love to think of parallels between Jay and Nadakhan. Cole and Flintlocke. The obvious (? I'm not really sure about this one) but awfully made Delara Nya one (not saying I made a good one in my fic either but eh)

But they're pirates. They're not good people, and Nadakhan is a fucking bitch. You have on one side how Arrakore dealt with the loss, and on the other, Nadakhan's, who was probably so used to being a prince and stuff he just- ugh.

But that doesn't mean they don't have emotions, which I'm trying to write about

also I'm noting Clancee probably noted Nya resembling Delara when he gave Nadakhan the newspaper. But he didn't say anything. Hm. I'm keeping that in mind.

anyway. back to writing I goooo

[taddymason]

What do you think about S6 Jay? I've always felt conflicted about his character due to this season, (but that comes from the fact that Skybound is a total mess). I didn't like how he used his wishes to impress Nya so she would date him. It annoyed me that he kept making decisions that wronged his friends because he couldn't let go of the idea she didn't want a relationship with him. I'm conscious this is the consequence of the messy love triangle from season 3, but it would've been nice to see Jay growing up from his relationship with Nya. (And if the writers were so desperate to make Jay and Nya endgame, at least they could've shown us Jay apologizing for everything he did during the season (lying to his friends, not accepting her refusal). They could've shown us Nya bring up the love triangle, and why she went for Cole when she was with Jay. You know, resolve the problems in their relationship and the things each of them did).

But no, they show us Jay making his final wish: "I wish you had taken my hand, and no one ever found that teapot in the first place". That decision feels like he hasn't progressed about his relationship with Nya from the start of the season. At the beginning of Skybound, she clarifies she doesn't want to be with him, so why would Jay wish she had taken his hand? Like, she's dying, and he's still thinking about that moment. What the hell? There were so many ways that scene could've gone, instead of Jay making her do something against her will. (Kind of? I think that depends on the interpretation of each person).

On the other hand, I didn't like how Nya's feelings were handled. One of the main problems her character had to face in season 6 was feeling she wasn't able to choose her destiny. She found out she was destined to be with Jay, and Nadakhan was forcing her to be with him. She literally said she felt that her whole life had been defined by other people, rather than by herself. However, at the end of the season, Jay wishes she had done what she didn't want to do at first.

I don't know, Skybound feels like an amount of missed opportunities for Nya's and Jay's character development.

Oh, skybound. skybound.

This season is a disaster for me and probably the season I feel the most conflicted about.

Overall I think most of the characters this season are pretty ooc. From Cole making sexist jokes for no reason, to Lloyd remaining strangely quiet throughout the EP5 conflict, to Jay throwing his own friends' security out the window to be with Nya. NOT EVEN S3 JAY (which was also a low point) WAS LIKE THIS. Even with all of his insecurities or rivalry with him, as soon as the situation demanded it or Cole was in danger (S3EP9) Jay could focus on what was at stake.

Instead, for some reason during the middle of the season Jay is EXTREMELY desperate to be with Nya to the point that he doesn't even care about his own team.

Look, I don't even mind that they make a season where Jay is an asshole and has to confront the consequences of his actions to learn to be more mature and aware of what he does (most of my fics are like that anyway). Do they want to do a season where Jay lies until his mistakes blow up in his face and where his selfishness is finally tested? I'm on board. If there is something that makes him such an interesting character, it's his flaws. Jay is selfish, he lies very often, he is opportunistic, and that makes his arcs so different from everyone else's.

Now, I hate that this is all solely because of his obsession with Nya. I've said it before but the worst thing about Jaya is when she becomes Jay's only motivation and interest to do everything he does. The season punishes Jay for resorting to wishes, not for continuing to believe that he has the right to be with Nya as if it were a necessity for him. The moral of the season shouldn't be "if you wish something enough, you'll find a way to make it happen" but; you don't need to be with someone else to be happy. Jay doesn't have to depend on Nya for his own happiness, and the season surprisingly never says otherwise.

From start to the ending, Nya remains Jay's final motivation. Literally her final wish is him imposing her will on her again (I know the wish supposedly didn't affect Nya but I think it's a mistake to make a character's wishes remain static from the beginning to the end of history).

so basically the season is a bunch of wasted potential that could have been a really good season to develop both characters. There are good things in S6, I'm not going to deny it. Jay from EP6 onwards has some pretty good moments, like him learning to be a leader, showing that he is a capable and intelligent member who ends up motivating others (Jay inspiring people is a rant for another day). And it's probably the most seriously the show takes his character.

I think the season would be better if it ended up addressing other things as well. There are many hints of Jay feeling worthless, Jay being insecure because he is poor/weak, believing he needs to be with Nya to be happy. And the season doesn't do much with this anyway. So, wouldn't it be better if the season wasn't Jay and Nya getting back together, but rather Jay realizing his own worth as a person? What if Jay resorts to wishes because he doesn't feel valuable as a member of the team? because he starts to believe that Nya is a better blue ninja than him? Or because his powers begin to fail and weaken as he is not maintaining his true potential by allowing himself to be consumed by his own insecurities? There are MANY ways to resolve this conflict without having Nya come back to him as some kind of prize.

...This is spoilers for my Skybound rewrite btw

but yeah, I agree with everything you say, Jay and Nya deserved better this season and I think what affected it the most was making the ending have to be these two getting back together with just ONE episode of them speaking sincerely

Sorry for the long post, Ty for the ask! ^^

[moonlightblueandicegrey]

Rating early seasons' villains for literally no reason. (This is just my opinion, it's okay if you disagree)

1) Garmadon: do i need an explanation here?

2) Morro: broken soul... He was relatable at some point. I think he deserved better.

3) Nadakhan: I know you hate him, i hate him too. He was very powerful, and he made people hate him, so that's why i think he was a good pure evil villain.

4) Chen: I don't know if i want to punch him or laugh with his silliness sometimes. Does that make sense? Anyway, I think he did great as a villain.

5) Pythor: How many times have we see this guy? Somehow he just survives all the time! He never gives up!

6) Crux and Acronix: I don't know why but i expected more. They had the potential and they didn't use it. They could have been better.

7) Overlord: Just no. I expected soooo much more from him in early seasons.

- Don't ask me "where are the other serpentine?" Or "where's Clouse?", "where's Nadakhan's crew?", "Where's the crimson snakes?", "where's the nindroids?".

I didn't include them because they weren't the major villain.

Also about season 3: i didn't include Cryptor because i consider Pythor and especially Overlord as the main villains of the season. If i had to include him, i think he'd go under Pythor.

Hiiiii!??!! For those who don't know it's that thing again, that every day I draw an hc for a Ninjago character (I use a filter, and i do the character that comes out) And for today's character it was Nadakhan!!!! This one was really hard, his hair is too complex for me lol😭

Okay, Nadakhan was supposed to be today's character, but I think whenever Jay appears he becomes the star of the show (If you know what I mean) But I genuinely loved this drawing, tell me, would you make a wish?

But Nadakhan's colors I'll just say his eyes are probably burgundy? Because I think Lego's colors are perfect for him anyway

BUT LOOK HOW BEAUTIFUL JAY IS😭😭😭‼️‼️‼️💗💗

This will probably flop, but I wanted to thank all the people who love my drawings!! Kisses kisses I love you guys!!
