So when are we as Ninjago fans finally going to talk about the fact that Zane canonically has the robot equivalent to a CDD (complex dissociative disorder, stuff like DID and OSDD).

Like the way the Ninjigma functions is INCREDIBLY similar to structural dissociation. Layers upon layers of encryption to stop you from remembering something horrible that happened to you? Then when you go poking around in that like memory vault, your own mind shuts you down or in some cases forces you to harm yourself? Yeah. That's structural dissociation.

And his struggles with his identity is very very typical of CDDs. Like that whole thing in season four (yk directly after one of the most traumatic moments of his life, FUCKING DYING) where he didn't feel like "Zane" anymore and felt like he couldn't call himself the white ninja because he wasn't the white ninja, he's just a copy of a dead man. Like that's VERY host change coded to me at least.

And like the way he tends to like freeze up when triggered (cause keep in mind, CDDs don't exist independently, they always come with PTSD/C-PTSD) especially when they're talking about going into battle or like talking about literally anything to do with the Overlord ever. He starts playing with his hands and biting his lip like he's trying to calm himself down, until they actually go into battle and he's fine again (alter switch).

Don't even get me started on the Ice Emperor. Like the fact he only turns back into him as he's dying in Crystalized (an incredibly triggering situation for him.)...

And like the way he just completely dissociates and disconnects himself after Nya disappears and seems to be doing something similar in Dragon's Rising because Pixal is missing (side note I hate Dragon's Rising. If you like Dragon's Rising I think you should have your Ninjago fan card revoked lowkey.... I couldn't even finish it).

Anyways Zane is severely traumatized and half the fans + the writers tend to forget that a log but it's my favorite thing to yap about.

No idea if this made any sense whatsoever.

He's so Language of the Lost and Am I Awake? coded...

Au where like. The elements are somewhat sentient and can talk to their hosts in their mind (think like naruto and ninetails. that's the only example i can think of,) and they tend to take the form of the person who has held their element the longest. And day one Zane meets ice and it's him. how fucked up would that be

Can I post this

Bonus v

(I know that's not brads official lego design, i was looking for a more grown up look since he's hopefully been aging all this time.)

Would it have even mattered if they asked what it was like?

I redrew it I did it yaaaay

(I still have a fondness for the original- done FOUR years ago!- but I hope I’ve done it justice with this new iteration!)

The words are an excerpt from the poem Jessica gives me a chill pill by Angie Sijun Lou

Zane gets her mind wiped from what she’s been assigned to be and instantly realizes and accepts that she’s a girl.

Do you have any thoughts about combining Kotori and Dove Julien concepts? Whether Dove's already out prior to the Neverrealm (Ice Empress !!) or comes out later?

i have another ask along the sasme lines and i really want to draw something for this idea ! but youve just made me think of a potetially fucked up idea where Zane realizes shes trans in the never realm after her mind is wiped. the others dont realize the ice empress is Zane because she wasn't IDing as a girl when she was sent to the NR. getting her back crops up new, fucked up feelings for her because her girlhood feels intrinsically tied to the throne and her time in the NR...

her masculinity was a hero and her femininity was a villain.... she needs therapy stat. and she needs to go out and interact with other transwomen and community

Kai,,,

Shoutout to anyone who recognizes the scene this is a reference to

Nya and Zane connected through their elements. Nyas Phoenix Motif and Zanes cycle of death and rebirth. Zane being the most understanding of Samurai X. Zane using ice to stabilize Nyas water form until they can save her. Nya keeping Zanes body safe in decoded. The two ninja with the highest body count. Synchronized attack moves. A sword and a shield. It all comes back to braincell

Kotori knows Icey is not... great. She's not naive or clueless. She's a seriously intelligent girl and she pays attention- but she will never believe her dad is a bad person in his heart. He sick, and he does bad things because he's sick.

In his very worst days, he is still patient and loving towards her. She has never been afraid of him. When she first sees him after he breaks the staff, she feels this immense joy because she knew it. She knew this was who he was deep down, past the illness he was fighting.

Pain. Agony, even.
