Do any of you ever think how INSANE it is that in Sons of Garmadon we had Lloyd literally manipulating the other Ninja and cutting off connection with them by SMASHING UP HIS DASH.

Sons of Garmadon is insane I love it so much.

I also love when good hearted characters do bad or negatively impulsive things. It was wrong for Lloyd to lie to the others, but him doing so showed that good people are still deeply flawed.

God I'm so obsessed with this season.

[nin-jay-go]

me: i think that jay is taller than nya , also it’s not fair to claim that he’s weak in comparison to the other ninja . yes he’s canonically light but that doesn’t mean he isn’t strong or capable

pinterest , for some reason: yeah it’s dumb to think he’s short! also trans jay is STUPID!! i can’t believe people wouldn’t headcanon that! he isnt even feminine !

me: …..?

I finally finished my full body lineup for the ninja!

Very proud of this one! There's an alt attached under the cut bc I wanted to give Zane an alternate pink gi!

Enjoy the pink Zane @spinchip!

[nin-jay-go]

pink in the night

Sneak peak of a drawing I'm working on because I have no energy for any other doodles atm!!

[nin-jay-go]

Tamil Libber

[nin-jay-go]

this summer heat is KILLING me yall 💔

[nin-jay-go]

This was mostly made so I could practice drawing Spitz

But I also love the idea of Zane being their favourite uncle

[nin-jay-go]

oooooh these are great thoughts!!!!! i had ideas along the lines of maya and nya breaking into merlopia for the amulets yea, but this is a good concise way of putting those ideas together :0 also the idea for vangelis and vania is GENIUSSSSSSSS because it'll be like harumi's reveal again but worse >:D eheeheehehehe

@x-catspace-x

heard your req about a swap au loud and clear >:3 maybe it was a mistake to give the au fiend More AUs to play with but i totally haven't been thinking about this nonstop recently (im lying. ive been thinking about this nonstop)

more details about the swap au under the cut if anyone's curious :0

in case it wasn't clear from the image, the swaps are as follows

kai - skylor

jay - unagami

cole - morro

zane - cryptor

lloyd - harumi

nya - kalmaar

with bonus swaps of

wu - garmadon

pixal - mr e / echo (still haven't decided if i want mr e to be echo here)

since everything's all swapped around, it means that harumi is the daughter of wu (hehe haWUmi), and wu is the lord of darkness and master of destruction. misako stays where she is bc i couldn't think of anyone to swap her with gfkjdhfgkjh (and btw she has glasses bc i hc her to be albino and albino ppl tend to have poor vision, so i thought it'd be cute :) since i used to hc lloyd with glasses at some point i thought it would fit)

skylor's mom died recently, and she's been trying not to think about it by drowning herself in work at the noodle shop, where her dad chen is trying to get her to lighten up and not work so hard. she gets approached by garmadon to train with her mother's fire and she accepts. chen is a wonderful dad and i LOVE HIM

unagami (prefers gami) is a Gamer™️ and has two whole dads (milton dyer and okino). despite being tiny, permanently babyfaced, and a Gamer, he talks very politely and uses a lot of big words. okino raised him like that :) scott is the previous elem of lightning but i haven't decided where he is in the story yet, but i want him to be gami's uncle. also gami is a vtuber

morro was found as a kid rooting through garmadons trash, so ofc garm went "hm. i want this rat as my child" and adopts them dkjfghdfjh they got their earth power from their parent, who is still unknown to everyone. they're still just as emo bc they have an excuse to wear black at all times jdkfghkjdfg (morro also gets kai's jealousy arc and realization that the green ninja is to be protected, so they end up taking kai's role as the green ninja's older sibling, in this case rumi)

cryptor was built by cyrus borg in this au, but still deep in the forest where no one could find them. he was originally built to assist borg with household things but he started to see cryptor as his son as his ai developed. borg got kidnapped at some point, so cryptor is trying to find him. unknown if cry knows about being a nindroid at first or not, but he's prone to short circuiting due to how snappy he gets.

and kalmaar (sometimes called kali or mar depending on their mood) is the water ninja now! bc i thought it'd be absolutely hilarious to put this purple bitch boy in a hero's role dfkjghkjdhfg he got exiled from merlopia after his father and (adopted) brother disagreed with his human-loving notions, and decided that weakness wasn't tolerated. and because of Magic i guess, kalmaar is able to shift from his squid form to a more lego head-esque form (aka i did not want to draw a squid head. good lird). also i made him genderfluid bc i can

any more questions are welcome :) my ask box is open!

[nin-jay-go]

EHEHEHEHEHE YAYYYY MY AU :D listen, even if it's been 3 years, i still love talking about my aus. and even if you've already read everything i've shoved in the swap au tag, i still have more to share!

see, the thing about garmadon and wu is that i think i'm going to keep their elements ("essences" whatever) the same. i just think it's really interesting if harbinger wu, the evil bringer of destruction, still wielded creation, while master garmadon, known best for teaching his students with a kind and patient hand, can destroy anything with a touch. because swapping their elements around would just be... kinda pointless? we just get another garmadon and another wu, rather than a proper roleswap.

also - i have no idea if this actually got said anywhere, but i received a request about this au (which sparked its creation) where its the heroes and villains swapping places. so i didn't want to make just a roleswap au where there's new ppl in the ninjas' places, it was specifically their villains, or at least their rivals.

the most obvious swaps are lloyd-harumi, zane-cryptor, and nya-kalmaar. they're pretty obviously those specific ninjas' focus villains, even if cryptor is more or less forgotten and post-s8 treats the mechanic as zane's focus villain, or aspheera. but neither of them worked for a swap au, and i figured - why not give cryptor some love? kalmaar and harumi were already close enough in age and vibe to swap over without too much issue, though nya's still being funky >_>

another obvious one is jay-unagami. they're perfect to swap. but i know for a fact that nadakhan would not be the swap djgfhdkjfgh i dont want his orange face as a teen ninja lmaoooo

cole-morro is an interesting one. it's sort of obvious, but with morro more or less being redeemed, they were less of a villain to me and more of just... someone who's better now. yay :) but that's just me and my biases. morro's also technically not cole's focus villain, as that'd be yang or the skull sorcerer, but they're both old men and i didn't wanna bother djfghjkdfhg also morro doesn't have an exact rival (lloyd and morro are probably the closest thematically) so i just went with the best fit.

and then there's kai-skylor. they fit thematically, yes, but skylor was a villain for about half the season, maybe 2/3, and is a staunch ally for the rest of the show. so why would they swap? well, because it also lets kai be redeemed and join the allies. also because literally the only other options were chen, the time twins, and aspheera. skylor is the literal only swap that works, but it made him so much more interesting, in that redeemed-villain role.

also the smith/jiang family is badly divorced. kai misses his sister dearly. too bad she's the ocean and is trying to drown people. he would've liked that before he got redeemed jkdfghkjdfhg

and because the premise is a hero-villain swap, that dictates how the rest of the swaps go! that's why fsm-overlord, dareth-ronin, time twins-ngtv duo, and more happen. obviously its not ALL villains-heroes swapped, as unagami's dads are swapped with ed and edna, and none of them are evil (milton fucked up but he's not a villain). but the point is to swap them wherever possible. that's part of the reason why vania isn't in the ninja team - she's not a villain, so she couldn't be moralswapped.

...that does lead me to wonder who she is swapped with. hm. i'll worry about that later lmao

ty again for the tags!!! i really really like when ppl think my aus are cool and i'm glad you're liking the silly brainstuff i put out!!! :D
