[yyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

Ester several hundred years later headcanons

- People he knows and still alives are Zane, Pixal, Lloyd, Wu, Garmadon and the descendants of ninja, also his siblings and mother in Realm of Oni and Dragons - He can't fly until he regenerates his fin, but still a great swimmer - The residents of Ninjago believe Ester the Dragon was an old legend - It’s unknown where he’s now, but he is still in Ninjago - Zane and Pixal trying to find him - According to fisherman's, they saw some black huge monster that scares off their fish in ocean and heard a loud purr

Okay ninjago writers, you can’t just have Lloyd say “so much has changed” and still expect us to believe these ninja are teenagers, they are YOUNG ADULTS NOW 

[mooph]

i decided to redraw ghost cole for like. the millionth time! i cant get enough of this guy

get him out of there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[emerald-cloud23]

I love Cole, always have, but I just rewatched s5 ep5 and wondered.. what if Cole hadn't managed to perform Airjitzu and had to stay behind with Morro & the other ghosts? Would they have tried to capture him? Would Morro have fought with Cole and taunted him about being a ghost now too?

[un-pearable]

i think ninjago fans need to rewatch s3e7 every once in a while. to keep them humble and remind them of the wonders of an early 2010s lego that didn’t give a shit

with the realms fused now i really wanna see people from the new realms have a certain level of fear and respect for ninjago´s individuals, especially if theyre from the city

bc after years of constantly being terrorized and threathened with world ending events and invasions, these guys are some of the sturdiest and unhinged around, they look harmless and dont generally have special abilities compared to other races, but anything you wanna hit them with, theyve probably seen worse of, and theyll use literally any method to make sure they come out on top

humans are space orcs type of vibe lol

so I started writing a little fic that's tied to my ninjago royalty AU (the one with pixal and kai in an arranged marriage), and within like, two paragraphs, I accidentally gave myself so much lore. like I feel like I lore dumped myself when I didn't even know the lore beforehand. bizarre experience, highly recommend, and now I feel like I gotta give you this AU lore that I accidentally created

I've said that in this AU, there are four royal families. I LIED. there are five. the Jiangs, and Borgs, the Jades, the... (desperately searches notes) the [Vania's family] (does she not have a last name?!), and the Garmadons!

now, the reason why it's so important to add this last family to the royalty group is because I needed a reason for pixal and kai to be engaged. like, "political alliance" just feels so vague, right? so I needed to create some drama. and, like it came to me in a dream, this is what I blurted out.

there are rising tensions between the kingdoms- specifically between the Jades and the Garmadons. the other kingdoms know that the two families are somehow becoming involved in each other's business in a way that doesn't seem quite safe for anyone. they fear that there are only two possibilities for what's going on: 1) the two are going to form an alliance and turn on the rest of the kingdoms, or 2) the two are about to wage all out war on each other and maybe wreck the entire realm with their fighting.

I am so overcomplicating this, but I will continue to do so, because thinking about this is a sweet relief from the real world.

the Borgs and Jiangs are attempting to form a connection that will aid them in the potential upcoming war, by getting pixal and kai to be married

Vania's family is preparing for this hypothetical war as well, but... not in quite the same way. now, hear me out here. what if. what if shintaro creates a system of spies, and sends several spies to become insiders of the other kingdoms. so shintaro won't be caught unawares by the other kingdoms' weapons. and what if. what if cole is one of these spies, sent to keep an eye on the new pixal and kai marriage. would that be messed up or what

this also opens up some wonderful avenues for lloyd and harumi dynamics. perhaps they are star crossed lovers. or perhaps they are the reason the kingdoms suspect that the two nations are about to be in an all out war with each other. so many possibilities

that's all I've got for now. thanks for coming to late night thoughts with wordsurge haha

I have to ask to know that I'm not the only one... but originally when I watched the show, and for a long, long time (like, until the oni trilogy) I believed that elemental masters didn't lost their powers when they had children and it was more an ATLA type thing where there could be many masters of the same element in the family.

To this day I remember my disbelief when I returned to the fandom after a years and learned that there can only be ONE elemental master per generation.

So I am I the only one who believed that? It made a lot of sense to me, especially with things like Kai assuming that he and Skylor could be related and have the exact same element. Forget the others plot twists of the show, the fact that they completely lose their powers is what I have had the hardest time believing

[spicyicymeloncat]

Wu hc he is the type to see a random animal and be like “can we take it home”. Ever since birth. Every dragon ever is his animal friend. Like all the guardian dragons and then the core dragons. He’s a crazy dragon lady man. He also has the feral chicken. And he adopted the most rowdy of animals. The ninja.

why am I getting so emotional about a little plastic ghost??? morro seriously has such a grip on me it’s insane

[nyaskitten]

Here's some concept art for Rebooted in A New Spin... before I've even written the first episode of the pilots...

uhh flats under the cut!

[keepofkandrakar]

may i pitch:

after the tdp chaos is over, aaravos be dead and everything’s all peaceful and stuff, callum’s gonna become a human archmage and chronicle the secrets of each arcanum. then maybe he opens a school so other humans who are interested in magic can learn an arcanum or arcanums — hell, possibly make it a human-elf merger for all who want to become a mage or archmage or whatever.

idk, i have very hogwarts-esque thoughts on how this school is like — the different arcanum tracks as the houses, so on and so forth. and this all just sat and festered a bit in the head while rebingeing book five. i think it would be a fun spin-off personally.

[quibbs126]

I think it would be neat if we had a story in where like, the ninja all get separated into different places (my best excuse currently is the Merge), and Lloyd ends up somewhere now powerless and all alone, and the only thing that he could rely on to survive and fight is his Oni form, and so he has this journey where he has to rely on his Oni form, and throughout this journey he grows to accept it

I don’t think I worded it the best, but basically what I’m getting at is Lloyd being forced to acknowledge his Oni form, and thus his heritage, instead of rejecting it in favor of his dragon side (edit: okay they don’t really mention him being part dragon ever, but I mean that he only deals with the good side, always rejecting his Oni side), and through this learning to accept it, and likely control it

(Also I think it would be cool to see him use his Oni form after this journey, and while it’s not his main form of attack, he’d use it somewhat regularly and has far more control over it than just be a raging beast. I mean, maybe he doesn’t talk in that form and it is still generally destructive, but he can go in and out of it whenever he wants and won’t attack his friends)

and btw im in my hater arc rn. as time goes on the more i find a lot of 'fandom' stuff insufferable (i like art n stuff. just the way that fandom refits every media to fit a single mold and set of boring archetypes is exhausting.)

i just get really easily annoyed lately. and have been unfollowing people on a whim a lot. its not personal i promise

[lovetheangelshadow]

Two new generations with tough legacies to uphold

[localguy2]

Jeez this looks fuckin gorgeous, I wish we got this location in the show because wow its pretty
