#ninjago electrical farm

[toastingpencils37]

So during Rebooted, we know that all of Ninjago's power came from the electrical farms.

But after the ninja took it down temporarily during Season 3, the inhabitants may have moved some of the power harnessing elsewhere to avoid a situation like that again (while also not relying on technology as much as during Season 3 to avoid another situation with the Overlord rising like that occurring again)

(And it is reasonable to assume that if they hadn't prior, after the Merge and the world got much bigger (and some places seemed to have gone missing), they did, as many buildings in the Crossroads have multiple windmills and barrels on them, probably to harness power and store water)

[ambriel-angstwitch]

So a lot of people talk about technology seemingly coming out of nowhere in season 3 of Ninjago. But if you pay attention in the pilots there is bamboo telephone polls in Kai’s village and in Coles town there is clearly electricity what with the stage lights and all that. There has in fact been electricity since the start

But it is worth noting that Kai is the most resistant to technology and this is likely because he comes from a rural community while he maybe had a landline and electricity but there likely wasn’t much else since like the real world advancement happens in the urban areas before reaching the poor farming communities which is where Kai’s from. So all of this technology is far more sudden to him than to Zane, Jay or Cole who grew up near the city which is why he is the most resistant to the new technology.

Yes it does become significantly more high tech in season three which is likely due to bad writing but it is totally possible that things had already been progressing behind the scenes since the ninja never really had much reason to pay attention to technological advancement due to their magic tech.

[swampythesweetsketch]

Am I thinking of a Ninjago/Pokémon AU again?

And I really going through with giving Cole a Froslass as a partner from his many travels?

Am I making Lloyd's reasons for theft being to feed an abandoned Eevee farm?

Yeah.

So in this Ninjago, the FSM is Arceus. Wu and Garmadon are Dialga and Palkia in disguise; The Overlord being Giratina when the FSM casted out his own darkness to create Ninjago.

Pokemon and Humans have been side by side since the realm's creation. And with their alliance, over time certain humans have been granted powers.

Elemental masters of this AU work within the Type limitations of Pokemon. The main five being their set types with sub types while the lesser powers are commonly single types.

Cole is Earth-type, sub Ghost

Jay is Electric-type, sub Flying

Zane is Ice-type, sub Phychic

Kai is Fire-type, sub Steel

Lloyd is Dragon-type, sub Normal

Nya is Water-type, and later sub Ice

During their early years, the Ninja have gained unlikely partners that they've met through travel or trading or other.

Cole's main partner is a Froslass.

He captured her when he was trekking a mountain suffering from massive temperature rises and found her casing herself in her own ice to survive. She was very angry at him at first, but grew more tame as he intentionally sought out colder locations to release her. When he did find her a suitable home in Birchwood's mountain range, she refused to leave him by that point.

Jay's main partner is a Houndoom.

A scraggly Houndour pup that the Walkers first adopted to keep some other security around the Junkyard. But as Jay grew up as a baby, the Houndour grew attached to the baby and evolved when Jay was 10. Even though he's a older pokemon, Jay can't think of a sweeter friend to travel with.

Zane's main partner is a Yellow Flower Floette.

During his early travels as an amnesiac, Flotette was a curious pokemon that approached him when he was making flowers crowns for a town festival. It was the only source of income for Zane and he was careful not to take more than he needed and attracted the whole field of wild pokemon. Though as Zane left, Floette followed him into town where he sold the crowns. She left with him the final night of the festival and the two had a traveling flower crown business ever since.

Kai's starter is a Pidgey.

The nasty bird was found half-drowned in one of Four Weapons' rain barrels after Kai shooed off a group of Littens. The Pidgey was annoying as hell, but Kai was certain to nurse it with Nya's help. When it was back to full health, Kai was exasperated to find the bird pokemon was back and nested above his shop's sign. He grew used to their presence and stopped trying to get rid of it and feeds it during dinner.

Nya's starter is a Combee.

During her childhood in Ignacia, a swarm of Combee and their Vespiquen were becoming too territorial and for the safety of the village, fire type pokemon were used to cast them farther away but in the midst of battle, a clutch of eggs were left behind. The village chose to distribute the eggs to farmers that could use the combees for pollination assistance and Kai nabbed one of the extra eggs a farmer client of his had. Nya was gifted the egg for her 9th birthday and the busybee has been Nya's lifelong friend.

Lloyd's main partner is Eevee... and Eevee. Then Eevee. Another Eevee. Eevee. There's more Eevee-

When Lloyd was still in Darkley's, one of the few benefits to learning there was the vast amount of rare pokemon that were given as partners for exam battles. Lloyd was the black sheep of the school and was always given caretaking duties. But Lloyd loved it cause he got to spend time with the baby pokemon that rotated through the school. When a shipment of Eevee eggs came in, Lloyd was again being put on the burner for his less than evil ways. And as a last FU- stole all the Eevee eggs he was assigned to care for and ran away from the school. He has at ten Eevees and he will stab anyone that tries to take them.

HEAVILY modified Nexo Knights lore and designs for @ninjago-respun lol

The realm of Nexo is a world extremely high in natural metals. Its animals, plants, and even natural features all feature some kind of inorganic integration. From metal trees, to electric animals, to oil-filled seas, technology is built into the world itself. As such, the sapient species of the Realm, the Nexos, didn't develop technology in the same way as those of other realms. Instead of working to develop tools from inorganic materials, they instead selectively bred the plants and sessile animals of the world to create advanced tools. Because the Nexos themselves were composed of a combination of organic and inorganic substances, they were able to interface with their living tools directly. As they did so, they began to evolve an incredibly strong nervous system, which is able not only to control their own body, but power their tools and weapons as well.

Eventually, as they branched out into other fields of science, they integrated more traditional inorganic technologies into their tools. They also began to work more with domesticating non-sessile animals for farming and labor. Eventually, they created the Dryads.

The Dryads started as an animal species with around the same intelligence level as dogs. They were bug-like and quadrupedal. But as the Nexos experimented with their genetic traits, they managed to grant them higher intelligence as well as integrate plant matter into their bodies to make them more durable and larger. Thus, the Dryads became an uplifted species of highly intelligent insectoids.

Garmadon adopts the ninja au

Misako: Oh yeah we’re not really a harem. The tabloids started it and we just ran with it. Cliff here runs the rumors section on the satirical news website he made “The Radish”.

Slitheraa: What’s a website and what’s an internet?

Misako: Remind me to show you and the others basic internet safety classes. Ooh you could run server farms and the like as a way to rebuild your tribes economies. Oh or you could start up wind farms or solar energy farms to sell electricity back. Sorry I’m probably overstepping my bounds.

Slitheraa: Hmm interesting I’ll have to send this back to my general and we’ll do more research into it. How are you so good at such economical planning?

Misako: My parents raised me to be the best Overlady in the east of ninjago. I got a master’s degree with honors in being an Overlady. Such schooling required me to learn how to care for an economy and the running of the household. Of course I got a minor degree in accounting and another major degree in archaeology which is my true passion.

Misako: “Welcome to the biggest prank in Ninjagain history!”

[fishybehavior]

Okay so this apocalypse AU:

There's some sort of apocalypse that happens in ninjago, society collapses and stuff (perhaps zombie apocalypse idk)

Anyway to be safer from survivor gangs, the ninja flee to the forest and build themselves a house, with a forge, proper electricity and plumbing (very clever plumbing)

They only go to the city for medical and chemical supplies, metal scraps and sources for Kai to smith weapons from, also hoarding household machinery like washing machines and fridges. They have a small farm, and otherwise catch food from the forest.

Wu, Misako, Ray, Maya, Pixal and Skylor also live with the ninja.

Nya, Jay and Pixal handle the electricity, plumbing and the sort, Zane and Skylor handle the cooking, Ray, Maya and Kai the forge, and Cole Lloyd and Zane the hunting (yes Zane also hunts due to his amazing aim with a bow, while Lloyd has inhuman senses for finding prey, and Cole can lift heavy prey animals and carry them home).

sorry

I've been binge watching atla for the last, four hours!?!?

Sounds pretty cool, like a slice of life but more dangerous, some cottage core vibes, gotta love that

Ninjago Christmas Fic #1 - Decorations

Ahhh, it’s that time of year when I speed write Christmas fics because it’s fun! Crossposted from ffnet. Takes place after MOTO.

“Let’s see what everyone was able to snag for the monastery,” Lloyd suggested enthusiastically. Having never celebrated Christmas in the monastery of spinjitzu before, the ninja had been horrified to discover that Wu hadn’t thought to invest in decorations for the holiday season. Not prone to giving up easily, they had spent several days searching high and low for trees, wreaths, lights, and anything else they could get their hands on.

“Ma and pa sent some lights they swear still work properly. Left most of em outside. There’s also a bunch of garlands that look like they’re in pretty decent shape. Perks of living in a junkyard, I guess. And uh, I think this used to be an angel?” Jay stated, holding up a sparkly hunk of metal with appendages shaped vaguely like wings. He glanced sideways at it, trying to decide if it was worth keeping.  

“I… can try to fix it later, if you want?” offered Kai, “I got a lot of practice with metalworking while Nya and I were visiting mom and dad yesterday. And the whole remaking the Golden Weapons thing probably helps too, heheh.”

His sister rolled her eyes at his self satisfied smirk. Jay nodded, handing Kai the mangled decoration.  

“If you think she’s savable, go for it!”

“Speaking of mom and dad, they gave us a box of Christmas ornaments and some other stuff, too.” Nya added holding up the blue orb with swirly designs she’d just grabbed from the uppermost layer of the cardboard box she was kneeling next to.  

“We couldda brought some tinsel, too, but we decided it wouldn’t be a good idea after last year…” she continued. They all shuddered.  

“Dad convinced the tree farm that sponsors the Royal Blacksmiths to sell him a tree for super cheap. He said he’d drop it off in a little bit.” Cole informed them, not wanting to dwell on the incident.

“Dude! That’s awesome!” Exclaimed Lloyd, his eyes lighting up. The others smiled. They’d never been able to have a live tree before. Zane nodded in agreement.  

“Indeed. I’m sure it will look lovely in the living room. I managed to locate a wreath my father built. It’s made mostly from old gears, and I know that’s not very traditional, but I’d like to put it up somewhere. If you don’t mind?”

“Of course, Zane. I’m sure we can find a good place for it.” Cole assured his friend. He understood what it was like to miss a family member during this time of year.  

“Yeah. I mean this place is huge. We need all the decorations we can get!” Kai reminded them.

“We had better get started, then.” Pixal interjected, eager to finally be celebrating the holidays without being confined to a screen (or her wonderful soulmate’s head) this year.

“Heck yeah! So where should we start?” asked Nya. They glanced around at the heaps of miscellaneous decorations, considering their options.  

“Maybe we should tackle the lights outside first? I’d rather do that before it gets too cold out.” proposed Jay. Although it had not yet snowed, the weather had been growing increasingly colder.

“I vote yes to that idea. It’s usually better to test anything the Walkers give us as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary explosions. No offense, Jay.” Cole said, giving the master of lightning an apologetic grin. Jay punched his shoulder lightly.

“None taken. We do tend to end up with... Surprises pretty often when ma and pa gift us stuff.”

“Okay, then. Outside it is. Just… try to keep the dangerous hijinks to a minimum? I don’t wanna worry Uncle Wu.” Lloyd told them, heading for the front door.  

The next hour was spent watching Jay zap each strand of lights or light up decoration with his powers as he tested them to see if they worked, waiting for the inevitable explosion. Surprisingly, they made it through 5 whole strands, two light up snowman, and a reindeer before coming across their first exploding decoration. No one could be sure if the shattering of every single bulb on the rainbow strand of lights was due to Jay’s parents tampering with the wires, or the master of lightning himself sending too much electricity into it, but the display of rainbow colored shards flying through the air was impressive to say the least. After cleaning up their mess and testing the remaining decorations, the group began the actual decorating part of the process. Pixal and Zane wrapped lights around the columns that lined the entrance to the monastery, creating elaborate patterns. Cole and Jay worked together to lift an ornate sleigh complete with reindeer onto the roof via airjitzu. Meanwhile, Nya simply tried to keep Lloyd and Kai from killing each other with additional decorations. Seeing her brother wrap the green ninja in lights, she cried, “Kai no!” in exasperation.  

“Cmon, sis! You’ve gotta admit he’d make a great Christmas tree!” He defended, before launching into singing oh Lloydie tree, oh Lloydie tree, how lovely are your branches! And receiving dirty looks from his victim.  

“Listen to Nya, Kai.” Cole shouted from above them. The master of fire relented, muttering about how no one appreciated his brilliance as he unwound his brother. Their hard work was interrupted by the sounds of a (much less irritating) Christmas carol floating into the courtyard from just beyond the gate.

“We wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year!” Sang Lou and his quartet as they lugged a ginormous tree inside.

“Hey, pop!” Cole greeted. He left the lofty heights of the roof, followed by Jay.

“Hello, son! You’re doing a lovely job with this place!”

“Thanks!” Jay said, “You just missed the explosion!”

“… The what?” Lou started.

“So, how was your drive?” Cole inquired, cutting him off. His father gave him a strange look, but didn’t push the topic further.

“It was fine. Building that driveway was a wonderful idea. I can’t imagine how much of a hassle it would’ve been to carry this thing up so many steps.” he answered.

“It really has made life easier for all of us.” Zane agreed.  

“This tree is beautiful! Thank you so much for hooking us up!” Added Lloyd, staring admiringly at their  

“It was no trouble, Lloyd.” Lou told him, smiling warmly.  

“Wanna come inside for some hot cocoa? We were about ready to take a break anyway.” offered Cole.

“I would love to, but unfortunately we need to get going. We have a concert at the hospital to attend. Can’t disappoint the kids, you know.” the older man replied regretfully. The master of earth shrugged. Christmas was always a busy time for the Royal Blacksmiths.  

“Okay. Next time, then. Break a leg, and thanks again!”

“Goodbye son!” Lou called as his companions burst into sing again.  

“Now bring us some figgy pudding, now bring us some figgy pudding, now bring us some figgy pudding and bring some right here!”

“What even is figgy pudding?” Lloyd wondered aloud.  

“No clue.” Kai shrugged.  

“Let’s get this bad boy inside.” Prompted Jay, rubbing his hands together and grinning in a way that was only a little bit maniacal. It took a fair amount of maneuvering, but they eventually managed to get the tree situated in the living room.  

“Wow, I hope we have enough ornaments for this thing.” Nya commented. The tree looked even bigger now that it was upright.  

“We’ll think of something if we don’t. Maybe we can just put Jay to work making paper snowflakes again.” Lloyd plotted.

“I’m down for that. I don’t get why you guys think I’m the only one who’s deserving of this honor, though.” said Jay. He had never quite understood why the others were so fascinated by his ability to make paper snowflakes with such ease.

“Because you’re better at it than we are and we like the way they look.” Nya stated simply, hanging the ornament she’d discovered earlier on the tree. Jay leaned over and kissed her cheek.

“Thanks, sweetie.”

Kai rolled his eyes at them and set about digging through the boxes looking for more ornaments. He pulled out anything that looked like it was still functional, tossing a few broken ones into the garbage.  

“This one is neat!”

“Oooh shiny!” Lloyd noted. He snatched the ornament from Kai before he could protest. The master of fire decided it wasn’t worth fighting and returned to his rummaging. Kai managed to protect a few of the ornaments from Lloyd’s watchful eye, sneaking them onto the tree when he wasn’t looking.  

“Wait… how did that get there?” Lloyd asked, finally noticing one of the extra sparkly ornaments Kai had hidden from him.  

“I swear Lloyd, you’re as bad as a cat when you get like this.” Nya told him, stifling a smile.  

“Like what?” he replied innocently. Cole watched Lloyd stare longingly at another ornament.  

“All oooh shiny every time you see something cool.”  

“Nah, I’m pretty sure that stems from having a dragon for a grandmother.” Lloyd reminded them.

“Hmmm that’s a good point.” Confirmed Zane.

“Kai, I am almost completely certain that Santa was not intended to be a part of this nativity!” Pixal scolded, frantically trying to prevent the master of fire from ruining the decoration he was currently setting out on the mantle.

“Well, he is now!” Kai retorted, not caring about historical accuracy. Pixal sighed loudly.

“Can we at least discuss fixing the sheep so they don’t look like they’re fighting to the death?”

“Gee, Pix! It’s not like they’re real,” he reminded her indignantly before smiling a devious smile, “Hmmm I should add one of Lloyd’s dragon figurines...”

“Kai no! That is the most horrible idea ever.” she protested, horrified.  

“What you call horrible I call brilliant!”

“Okaaay maybe it’s time for a break before Uncle Wu comes in here and questions our collective sanity again.” Lloyd said awkwardly pushing between the irate ninja and samurai.  

“There’s hot cocoa in the kitchen, remember?” added Nya.  

“Hmmm okay, sure. Hot cocoa does sound good.” Kai admitted (totally not planning on sneaking back later to mess with the nativity some more).  

“Yeah! Let’s go eat way too much whipped cream and marshmallows!” agreed Jay.  

“Looks like we’re off to another chaotic Christmas.” Lloyd commented to Nya as they headed for refreshments.  

“Yeah, but you know you love it.” She told him with a laugh. The blonde shrugged, saying,  

“I do. Somehow this never gets old.”

“That’s the magic of Christmas for you. Or… something like that, anyway. Now cmon, let’s get some hot coco before the others drink it all.”

[jay-cult]

Long ago, the Avisapiens walked Ninjago, just like you and I. Well, walked could hardly describe it; while the humans of Ninjago tended to build their homes in valleys and farm on the grounds, the Avisapiens took to high trees and cliffs, building incredible structures past the clouds. It was easy for them. Because they could fly. Avisapiens’ bodies required them to feed on the rawest form of energy: rapidly moving electrons that would zap a human straight through. In simpler terms, electricity. They learned to use metal to draw lightning to them, and built contraptions to store and transfer the form of energy. They were able to live in such large altitudes because of their lack of need for oxygen to fuel their bodies... however, air was needed to soar the skies.

This was at the very beginning of Ninjago itself, when peace kept its protective hand over the land. The First Spinjitsu Master created Avisapiens as a sort of yin to human’s yang. However, it was rare for them to encounter. Many even thought they were myths until they travelled to a mountaintop or gazed up a gargantuan tree. Nobody knows what they look like or how they fly. I suppose they never will. They never partook in each others’ wars or warred themselves.

Until.

Post-Serpentine War was a time of refreshment, however humans were so struck by fear of beings with their level of intelligence that they sought getting rid of them. Because of their anxiety ridden minds, they banished the Avisapiens out of Ninjago, told them to go anywhere but their land. So they disappeared, somehow, off the face of the land. Nobody knows where they have gone, or how they continue to charge their homes or themselves, but one thing is for sure. They will never be seen again.

List of Ninjago City events that have and have not caused power outages.

This is mainly going to be a list with a few analyses & theories dropped here and there.

I am listing this chronologically by season, but not DR, mainly because during the events in Episodes 1 & 20, it is not clear if there was any power outages or not.

This list is specifically events impacting Ninjago City, so events such as the Preeminent attacking Stiix is not going to be listed.

If I have missed events that you feel are important to list, feel free to let me know! I will fix it and credit you on the catch.

Season 1

Great Devourer Attack: No power outage, based on the TVs and everything still being on

Season 2

Stone Army Attack (Day Ninjago Stood Still): No power outage, based on Gayle Gossip being able to broadcast on the news that everyone should evacuate.

Overlord Attack: Power outage. No building lights shown during this time. Power outage appears to be caused by weird Overlord magic opposed to something being actually knocked out in the Grid.

Season 3:

Storm Farm: Power outage. Probably most obvious one, based on there being a whole episode where the end goal is the ninja to take out Ninjago City's power corrupted by the Overlord. Possibly longest lasting outage in the show, with it being confirmed to have gone on for days by the angry citizens. At this point, it is confirmed that Ninjago City has one source of power. The Storm Farms are probably still used after Season 3, but it isn't that hard to believe that Ninjago City decided to use other sources for their power grid after this point as well.

Season 6:

Ninjago City Being Split and Pieces Starting to Float: No power outage for whole City. Gayle Gossip and NGTV news is shown broadcasting about the issue. Areas that got split and floated away probably lost power though, due to literally being disconnected from the grid.

Season 7:

Forward Time Blade: Brief power outage (if I'm remembering correctly). Power went off for a couple seconds and then came back on, and in the Bounty's case, sent alarms going off.

(Note about Present Getting Messed With in the Finale: Even though power is confirmed to be gone, I'm not counting this as either a power outage or no power outage, because the present was changed to not have electronics whatsoever)

Season 8:

Emperor Garmadon Attack: No power outage. Billboards are still shown lit up and everything

Season 9:

Emperor Garmadon's Reign: No power outage. Despite the City being a wreck, lights & TVs are still shown to be on.

Season 10:

Oni Attack: Power Outage. It is shown that when the Oni tendrils gets close to lights, and almost everything else electrical, they get shut off. Like the Overlord attack of Season 2, nothing in the grid is actually knocked out, but the power outage is initiated by magical means.

Season 11:

Aspheera Attack: No power outage. Despite fire balls being everywhere, power still appears to be on everywhere.

Preeminent Attack (Kaiju Protocol): No power outage. Despite buildings getting absoutely battered from the Preeminent's impacts, building lights are still shown to be on. And when PIXAL plugs herself into the electrical generator, there are not any effects actually shown.

Season 12:

Prime Empire Initiation: No power outage. This may not be important to add, but for a shockwave affecting electronics, it noticeably only turned off video games for a split second, then reprogrammed them as Prime Empire.

Unagami Attack: No noticeable power outage. Borg Tower still has power functioning, but that could just be Borg Tower. We see nothing indicating that power is out for the rest of the City.

Season 14:

Wojira Pulse (Episode 2): No noticeable power outage. We see the shock wave hit the city, but don't see the effects. But based on how it affected the Monastery, which was also hit, electricity was not affected at all. Only water. (Probaby due to Kalmaar trying to wake up Wojira while she only had the Wave amulet)

Wojira Attack: Power outage. In the beginning of the attack, we see the lights and everything still on. But as the attack proceeds, we also see lights flicker and die out, and at the end of the attack, little to no lights still on.

Season 15:

Shockwave From Draining Nya's Power: Power outage. And it's an obvious one. We see the power go right after the shockwave hits certain parts of the City, with building lights going completely black. One strange thing to note however is that the Monastery's power is not shown to be affected in the aftermath. First most believable circumstance was that the shockwave had not gained enough power yet to knocked power out. Second most believable circumstance is that the shockwave briefly knocked the power out for a second or two, and then rebooted quickly.

Overlord Attack: Power outage. Like Season 2's attack, the outage was caused by magical means, with the temple emitting a radiation that targeted electrical devices.

I honestly wanted the make this mainly to show how strong Ninjago City's power grid appears to be. Also, it appears that usually when there is a power outage, the Overlord is in some way involved.

I was originally going to make a short post about the Overlord, and then decided in the shower to do a whole list. And in a few days, I'll probably start a rewatch of the entire Ninjago show just to look for boats, and then post the first list in a few weeks. Which I also thought about doing while in the shower.
