ummm so i kinda was like rly sick for ages but now im back w a shitty ass poem i wrote for an english assignment but its about seabound so yh

my english teacher told me my poem was meant to be about how calm the sea was and not about drowning and i was so fucking close to explaining the whole plot of seabound but i contained myself

Can you tell I really like art nouveau?

I just really wanted to draw Nya in a pretty water dress that’s it.

We’re going to ignore the feet I gave up at that point.

Thin line art is the bane of my existence

If ninjago writers had less intense misogyny wired into their little brains back when they wrote s1-7 they would‘ve made them become the bestest friends ever in s5 and then embraced those tragic parallels so hard I‘d get dehydrated from crying and then finished me off with ghost Cole and Seabound Nya.

Nya canonically calls Zane cute GUYS

“He looks so cute in his apron!”

In season 1 episode 3, snakebit. During the food fight scene when the scenes zooms in into Zane covered in food and looking around.

SHE WAS SO FOND OF ZANE BRAINCELL IS SO GOOD SNSBSHH

i’m so glad earth only has one moon, if there were more i’d have to pick a favorite and that sounds too emotionally taxing to even fathom

unrelated but i hate the weird black cut outs on her torso to try and make her look curvy

say what you will about the redesigns but the complete and utter glow-down of nyas casual outfits needs to be studied

[nyasyang]

obligatory drop of my ninja designs before they eventually become irrelevant to me and i redo them

[nyasyang]

nya haters are kind of the bane of my existence. just say you hate women instead of making lame excuses to not like her.

Half dragon nya BUT it's more of a 'half of whatever the hell wojira is' and it starts after she unlocks her true potential. He only looks like a water dragon post seabound because wojira is no more , he now IS the water half of wojira . This also applies to morro btw they're the cool ass wind dragon ghost thing

[nyasyang]

conya is a such a boring name . I think they should either be called seashell or coral

[nyasyang]

Y'know, if I had a nickel for every time a main character in Ninjago was hated for downright stupid reasons, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's a shame it's about to happen twice

Speaking as someone who loves Dareth I hate the way his misogyny is written.

I mean I don't want it to exist in the first place, given that Nya already faces sexism from pretty much every angle, and in the context of the whole publicity campaign thing she was recieving enough of it from the public already without Dareth excluding her from every opportunity and offering makeup segments etc. Do I understand its inclusion anyway? Sort of. I suppose it is "realistic" in the context of Dareth playing the sleazy manager role, because that is the tragic reality for a lot of women and teenage girls in the entertainment industry. I also HC that Dareth represses his homosexuality which, unfortunately, sometimes leads to misogyny in the real world. So I can't exactly write it off as something Dareth isn't capable of or that isn't necessary to the story or Nya's development at all–

However.

If it is going to be included, I would have really preferred Dareth to have an arc where he learns the things he said/the beliefs he held were wrong, akin to Sokka's arc in ATLA. Like let Nya beat Dareth up over that comment, let him see how wrong he was, let him at the very least apologize to her for his past actions. I know that sometimes misogynists are just that, and anyone can harbor those beliefs without changing or realizing they need to. Even people that seem "safe." But Dareth is a recurring character and a friend to the ninja, not just some random shmuck in the entertainment business they'll never see again. I would really have liked to see at least a tiny bit of growth from him. Even if Nya would never forgive him she is, at the very least, owed that apology and acknowlegement.

Anyway I saw someone talking about this earlier and it made me remember how much I hated this writing decision that's all
