I'm watching lego ninjago again after many years (because I need to show my little brother what a great show it is) and damn I really wanna draw them now
So anyways the reason I talked abt Ronin is because I binge watched Possession again and I realized. I have never drawn this bastard man. So here’s that (ignore that I didn’t add his hat it was annoying me)
+ me remembering that the Dobson brothers are all VAs that act in Ninjago as completely different characters and how much funnier certain dialogue gets with that context.
Arin: I still can't believe that I'm a ninja, it's all I ever wanted to be ever since I was a kid!
Sora: I wanted to be a scientist and inventor, so I guess I got that too, in an odd way.
Arin: Hey, Lloyd! What did you want to be when you grew up?
Lloyd: A dark ruler. Evil mastermind.
Arin and Sora:...
Lloyd, sighing: It's a long story.
The fact that being possessed by Morro for a short enough time to create a video left Ronin shivering and curled in a fetal position on the ground
(Ronin, who is characterized as being tough as nails and unbothered by most things)
Says a lot about how fucked up Lloyd must've been by being possessed for multiple days, actively fighting the possession at the same time
The fact that in the same scene he can stand and sass Morro is IMPRESSIVE. Lloyd's resiliency is insane and he deserves like the top five therapists in Ninjago rn
Okay, I gave in and I'm rewatching Ninjago, and I am literally like five minutes into the first episode and I am DYING of laughter. Because imagine it. You and your little sister are doing your thing, just surviving on your own cause your parents vanished into thin air and this random old guy comes in, insults your blacksmithing, your armor, and your family's shop practically all in one breath and then vanishes. Almost instantly after, a bunch of living skeletons show up and start attacking. You're about to die from this four armed skeleton that couldn't have possibly ever actually come from any living thing you know of when this golden mini tornado shows up shouting in the old man's voice. The tornado turns out to actually BE the old man and the skeleton knows the old dude by name (bc of course he does) Old guy also knows skeleton dude by name. You almost die (again) and your little sister gets kidnapped. Your shop is trashed, your sister is now kidnapped, and the old guy is saying nothing helpful. Man, Kai is just having a rough day
Your honor my client didn’t do anything wrong he’s just always been doomed by the narrative and has been inevitable spiraling towards this outcome since the first time he was introduced
watching ninjago in korean is a spiritual journey i wasn’t aware of like lloyd calling the other ninja hyung/noona is absolutely adorable no matter pre or post time skip.
