i think their locker elevators are funny

[dawo4]

Tried to categorise every known element to each Soruce! I think that the new elements could have been made when Riyu was born and those could be "his" elements but I could be wrong hmm

Went with "Flow" and "Stillness" for the Water and Ice Sources just for the sake of them having a name, 7th one is still an enigma tho, Balance is kinda just a place holder name lol

My reasonings for Tech being under Energy and Heat under Motion is because I think that when the Tourney starts, the current Ninja team will have a representant of each Source, so with Jay and Kai out of the picture, Sora and Wyldfyre can fill those slots

Also ngl was so hard to do anything for the Ice Source lmao

Lots of rambles here as this is mostly taken from my bird app post, but I am all here for the discussion, so lmk what you think :)

Ninjago Headcanons 30-34

30: 

When Lloyd was little, he’d hide a LOT. 

Like, 24-7. 

In the most impossible spaces.

Like, Jay would be walking into the living and randomly look up to see Lloyd in the rafters.

Wu was the only being in literal existence with the ability to coax him out.

31: 

Once all six were bored enough to start playing hide-and-seek. It lasted the whole day because of their stealth skills, the tracking they’d learned, and the fact that they knew each other too well.

Wu finally joined the game and found everyone in less than an hour. 

32: As a kid, with his instincts and past, Lloyd would bite if he needed to. If he was scared and someone’s threatening hand got too close, he’d bite.

You’d bet that Wu was practically immune to any attempts Lloyd made when he was still….. Adjusting to living on the Bounty and with the ninja. 

He doesn’t do it that much nowadays, but with the right circumstances….. Watch out. 

33:

Jay sometimes feels the urge to go outside in thunderstorms. According to Wu, this is normal for Lightning Elementals, but Wu still locks the doors and windows when a thunderstorm occurs. 

Wu also says that Jay has the worst “Element Trances” of any Lightning Elemental he’s seen for a while. 

34:

Likewise, other Elementals have trances of their own Elements.

Kai has this trance with Fire, if fire is nearby he knows it and he may just get into a trance.

Zane feels Ice the same way. 

Nya’s trances are more like Jay’s, but they don’t happen very often and she won’t wander off as much. 

Cole’s are in between, sometimes his trances are like Kai and Zane’s trances, other times they’re like Jay and Nya’s. He just feels the Earth. 

Lloyd’s are more like Cole’s, he just feels the Energy of everything.

I think about this way too often.

The ninjago police are just… So dumb

I kinda Love it

[crackedpumpkin]

idk if this is a controversial opinion or not but i THOROUGHLY enjoyed the lego ninjago movie like idc if that shit isnt canon it was a roller coaster i will willingly ride.

like cmon, jackie chan as master wu? llyods daddy issues?? the fucking humour in this had me in a chokehold i need whatever the writers were on

of course i have my own gripes but as a standalone movie i think it deserves many kudos. i rewatch it every now and then for a good chuckle

[the-writing-trash-panda]

Okay okay! I’ve seen so many people talking about how they are upset with the lack of reaction at Kai’s sacrifice so I wanted to give my two cents.

With Nya her character has always been this kind of ‘act tough all the time’ personality. She had that little moment with Wyldfyre and I think this is going to bring them closer. Nya still has Lloyd, Cole, and Zane so she’s not going to totally break down but she is silently struggling not wanting to appear weak to the others.

Lloyd is putting on an act because he still has the kids to worry about but I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw him struggling with feeling guilty. He was having the vision and still couldn’t stop Raz completely.

Zane is the logical one and probably felt as though it was best to keep his emotions in check and enjoy their small victory.

Cole I think is at a point in his life where he will still grieve the loss of a loved one but has a healthy way of working through it.

These aren’t super detailed and hopefully I’m getting my point across. If I’m feeling motivated I’ll make a more in depth post.

[aesthetickiwiiii]

What do Colleen and Nadakhan have in common? They both make me uncomfortable

[steepwysdom]

Acronix is left handed.

Like the hands on a clock, Acronix is left handed while Krux is right handed.

I have proof, I am also left handed! so allow me to explain my research..

I love the fact that Acronix wields his left sword backwards, Krux doesn’t do this, only Acronix.

Acronix and Krux both get kicked back when their dominant hand weapon is destroyed,

Acronix’s left blade is broken - Quick defeat

Krux’s right blade is broken - Quick defeat

When wielding a sword singularly, Acronix chooses his left hand while Krux chooses his right.

the fact his Apple Watch is on his left wrist, I keep my watches and bracelets on my left wrist as well. Not only this, but he plays the BorgPad with his left hand.

His BorgPod is on his right hip to grab easily, while Krux's hourglass is on his left.

Honorable mentions - Krux using his right hand for tools while Acronix grabs items with his left hand.

While Acronix uses his powers to forward time on his left hand, Krux uses reverse time on his right hand.

And when they lose their powers they look at their dominant hand first.

Now you might be saying; Mystic, are you forgetting that Krux and Acronix wield the Time blades oppositely than their original hands?

No, I didn’t forget, in fact..Hear me out: The Time blades are meant to be held like this because: Ray and Maya created them for Garmadon and Wu to use, They’re meant to be held in the correct hand like how many scissors are for right handed people, the handles of the weapons are meant for the right or left hand. So whatever power was sucked into the Time Blade, that’s where it stayed.

That’s why their powers switched hands, the Forwarding in time was collected in a right-handled Time Blade while the Reverse time was collected in the left-handled time Time Blade.

I know we always talk about the influence of Kai's element on his emotions and general demeanor, but I think we need to acknowledge the other ninjas as well.

Yeah, the guy with fire is hot-headed, we all saw that coming. But there's also the fact that he's an older brother, and seen to embrace the role. It's easy to forget that fire is necessary for life as well as destruction.

The earth elemental is like a rock. He's usually calm and controlled. But also, when he does get mad? It isn't small. He holds grudges, and doesn't seem to let go of them easily. He's more stubborn than we give him credit for.

I have to say it: The ice guy is cool. He's neutral in most situations, and holds strong values. But also, the things he do take time, like ice. Of course, unlike actual ice, he can't wait centuries to crack one large rock. But at the same time, he does. Through careful planning and considering all the factors, he chips away at everything slowly so you don't realize everything that's happened until it's full force.

Talkative, energetic, sporadic lightning guy, I know. But also: lightning guy that's often underestimated, like actual lightning. A lot of people don't think about lightning as being as destructive as fire or other natural disasters, but that's just because it's so rare that it actually hits full force. He's just the same, he may attack or do things often enough people are careful, but he's incredibly underestimated.

Girl who controls the water having constantly changing emotions, like the tides? Sounds just about right. But also: the way that she's shown as a kind force, like how water is necessary for life. But on the same coin, the immense power she holds and just doesn't unleash often, because she knows the destruction it would cause. She may have moods that change like the tides, but the tides still cause massive waves.

And we don't talk enough about the influence of what seems to be the master of life. He may be called the master of energy or power, but those are so all-encompassing you may as well call them life. But it's the way that he's introduced as someone wild and uncontrollable, incredibly hard to work with. Until you find the trick. Then he's one of the strongest forces you have.

Some thoughts on the new Ninjago teasers:

-Egalt is a mood.

-Rising dragon technique?! Will dragon formes be making a comeback or have more info related to it? I hope so!

-Dragons can learn spinjitsu?

-(regarding my last point) is spinjitsu based on how dragons can travel between realms? It seems likely

-Fang rankings? What? Are they like belts in karate?

-I really want more info on the FSM. Please LEGO. I wish for more.

-(kinda unrelated) does anyone actually know Ras’s end goal? I don’t and am kinda confused…

The Conduit

[lightning-and-dragons]

Don't think about P.I.X.A.L in Dragons' Rising, about how no one has found her yet, about her wandering the realms searching for someone that she knew. Zane. Kai. Cole. Nya. Jay. Lloyd. Sensei Wu. Anyone.

Don't think about P.I.X.A.L being found by the Administration, being captured by them, claimed as a machine, and having her memories taken away.

Don't think about P.I.X.A.L working for the Administration as one of their machines, not knowing who she was but knowing that she was meant for more than a mail room.

Don't think about P.I.X.A.L meeting an agent who treats her with kindness, who also doesn't remember who he is, who she soon becomes friends with.

Don't think about this friend coming home from a mission, speaking of another machine they were trying to catch, one called Zane, and how the name sounded familiar to P.I.X.A.L.

Don't think about the friend telling her that he had lightning powers, and that P.I.X.A.L wasn't as surprised as she probably should've been.

Don't think about P.I.X.A.L and the friend speaking about knowing that they were someone greater than who they were with the Administration.

Don't think about the two escaping the Administration together, searching for answers and searching for who they truly are.

Some fanart by @berryblu-arts

I loved it because I headcanon that Kai was a bit feral at first and Wu had to deal with it. (or did he? Wu is 1/4 Oni and 1/4 Dragon after all~)

but yeah.

Kai was feral.

also, feel free to make fanart and/or comics and/or fanfictions about it

[tornoleander]

*Pulls out Decoded

Skybound fics majorly lacking in Jay busting out the pig Latin smh. /j @writing-hat you have to watch decoded now >:)

Jay trying very hard and failing to change the subject feels notable he does it with the great devourer as well.

[abunnsburrow]

You know I don't think people have noticed this but Garmadon held out for like- a really long time in terms of the venom.

Aspheera happened a thousand years ago when Garm was a kid and we can assume he was bitten around that time.

My bro held his own against the venom for hundreds of years apparently and I feel like we need to appreciate him more for that.

[the-writing-trash-panda]

Do you think Lloyd ever checks his eyes in the morning to see if his power has changed them again?
