My Take on Nokt's Power

I could very easily be proven wrong, but with all the hot takes I've seen I might as well throw my hat in the ring.

Look, I get it... Brute Force sounds silly and a little too abstract to be an element. But even if I end up not being correct, let's try looking at it from another point of view.

You know about that paradox about the spear and the shield? There's a merchant selling his wares, a spear and a shield. Whenever someone shows signs of interest in the spear, he tells them how this spear is unstoppable and can pierce through the toughest of shields, and whenever someone shows interest in the shield, he says that the shield is immovable and can withstand even the sharpest of spears. However, both statements cannot be true. If the spear pierces the shield, the shield isn't immovable and if the shield blocks the spear, the spear isn't unstoppable. So which one is better, the spear or the shield?

We all caught up? Great! Now lemme tell you who the real winner is in the spear vs shield debate. Its the person that buys both. They are unstoppable when attacking and immovable when defending, the perfect fusion of offense and defense and a near un-killable warrior. If Nokt's Elemental Power of Brute Force is anything like this, then imagine how terrifying that would be. There's a reason many monsters in horror movies are so hard to kill, and its not just to keep the movie running as long as possible (at least in the case of good movies).

Then again, I could be proven completely wrong and Brute Force could just be something simple and boring like regular super-strength, who knows?

If this post can get to 500 notes by January 1st, I will record myself having a wedding for my Ninjago minifigures.

I am not kidding.

Listen… if the new leaks are true, then I TOTALLY CALLED IT that Jay would be changing his name!

Not only that, but I would also like to point out that Rogue is also very similar to Ranga. Starts with R, has a G in it, 5 letters long…

Damn, bro

You show up for your first day at Copyright-Free Magic School. As you're going through orientation, you're informed that all new students get a school-assigned familiar that they are responsible for housing and maintaining. The staff member assures you that your assigned familiar is appropriately chosen and reflects you in some way.

Spin this to find out yours. (Remember, you are responsible for maintaining this familiar in your dorm room.)

Do you remember what the user was able to do with these powers?

I’m curious about something. To anyone in the Ninjago community who sees this post, I have a question. What is the most creative OC Elemental Power you have seen? I’m not necessarily asking for the OCs associated with them, just the Elemental Powers themselves.

I’m not saying this to throw shade, but a lot of people have made OCs that have the Overlords powers or previously introduced Elemental Powers and that’s not what I’m looking for. I’m talking about any sort of powers that have not appeared in the show at all that are referred to as Elemental Powers by the person that created them.

Be sure to give credit to the person who made it!

More Wacky Adventures of The Shatter Squad

I do eventually wanna make this a running series if possible, but in the meantime here are some ideas for more stories.

The Shatter Squad encounters Egalt and Rontu while the dragons are rounding up more Wolf Clan Remnants, and they must either successfully defend their use of Shatterspin to the Ancient Dragon Warriors of Legend, or fight until one side cannot.

They encounter a group of Keepers who are desperate to keep fulfilling their sacred task of protecting the Storm Amulet, and Morro is not willing to give up his only remaining connection to his former Element.

The Squad have to retrieve something from the Crossroads and must avoid being spotted by the Ninja and anyone else who would recognize them.

Ranga and Jay have a very tense reunion. Ranga is insistent on fighting, while Jay is trying to build a relationship with the only person he's ever met with blood ties to him.

If Morro is still a ghost, then they must figure out how to protect him while they traverse through lands currently in their typhoon season. If not, the Squad tries helping him get over his hydrophobia.

The Squad must help Cinder manage and control the side effects of having such a shattered soul during an especially intense flair up.

After a mission, the Squad must convince a young child orphaned in the Merge to not learn Shatterspin and follow their path in life.

The Ninja show up while the Squad is on a mission and misinterpret what they're doing, leading to the monster they were hunting to get away and wreck more havoc on the town that hired them. The Ninja must then grapple with the fact that the Shatterspin users were in the right and that the village in trouble likes Shatter Squad more than the Ninja.

After a mission they become internet famous, and many fans and influencers flock to meet them and to make content. Cinder immediately gets drunk on the spotlight, Morro is confused by the entire situation and keeps misunderstanding what his fans are saying, and Ranga is annoyed by the fact that most of his popularity comes from the fact that he looks like the Blue Ninja but with soft and fluffy dog ears and a tail.

Ranga encounters Akita or some other Formling who is horrified at the fact that he never went through The Choosing, and the Squad must go to the Never-Realm so that Ranga can perform the ritual and gain full control over his Wolf Form.

Ranga and Morro become sick and Cinder must take on his most daunting task yet, being a kind and attentive friend while they recover.

Have more cool ideas for the non-canonical adventures of the Shatter Squad? Feel free to send a message or leave a comment!

Ninjago AU: Shatter Squad

With the insanity that has been the Ninjago Community on Halloween 2024, I personally an most excited to see Jay join the Forbidden Five and the return of Morro. And ever since then, I've had this really cool idea for an AU. I haven't started it since season 3 of Dragons Rising hasn't even been officially revealed yet, but when the time is right I swear I'm gonna make it a reality no matter what BS I have to use to make it work.

After the Forbidden Five have been dealt with, Jay is separated into two separate people. There is Jay Walker, the Blue Ninja and Elemental Master of Lightning who went missing in the Merge, and Ranga, the Former Forbidden Sixth and unknowing Elemental Master of Electricity who first woke up in the Administration after the Merge.

As a result of the Ninja healing Jay's shattered soul, his shattered half and post-merge memories were expelled from Jay and found themselves a new body. That is when Ranga, a Wolf Formling who looks very much like Jay with wolf ears and a tail, was born.

The Element of Electricity is very similar to Lightning, in a way that Heat is similar to Fire. Electricity can't match the power of Lightning and the user cannot generate their own, but its a lot better at controlling the output of electricity and absorbing electricity from other sources. The Master of Electricity can also store computer data and intercept radio signals since they're both forms of communication that rely on electricity, although the Master cannot understand this information without something to output it to.

At the same time, Morro is wandering around aimlessly through the Merged Realms with no Element to wield, no Master to serve, no place to call home, and no purpose in life except to survive (Lore and Details TBD).

Ranga and Morro meet up and become quick friends due to their shared trauma of living in another Ninja's shadow and no longer being the Master of their original Elements. They start traveling through the Merged Realms together.

Ranga, having learned Shatterspin from the Forbidden Five themselves with no need for a Wolf Mask, offers to teach Morro. As a former Elemental Master, he still has the spark of mastery required to learn it and it won't leave him completely defenseless in these dangerous and uncharted Merged Lands.

While Ranga teaches him Shatterspin, Morro points out how unhealthy and self-destructive the ideology is. As a result, Ranga refines both himself and his teachings to become less violent and hateful while Morro is able to better defend himself with Shatterspin.

Ranga's version of Shatterspin becomes less about "Forcing the world to bend to your will" and "Strength is Everything", to "Being the change you wish to see in the world" and "Using your pain to prevent others from feeling it".

Ranga and Morro often train together, Morro practicing his Shatterspin and Ranga practicing fighting in his Wolf Form. Ranga's weapons of choice are Nun-chucks and a Sickle, depending on the situation (Jay's weapon of choice, a Kusarigama, split into two). Morro's weapons of choice are a dual bladed Glaive (like in the leaked set) and a retractable Bo staff (in memory of Wu).

Eventually they come across a village that is being harassed by Wolf Clan Remnants, Wolf Clan Warriors whose masks have fused to their faces, becoming these cursed, half-human half-wolf creatures, like the Lycan King but smaller and less formidable.

Ranga and Morro fight them off and the Wolf Clan Remnants retreat, and the village thanks them and gives them food and shelter. The village leader tells them that the Remnants will be back unless they deal with the Alpha. They promise food, money, and whatever they can spare to help them with their problem. Morro convinces Ranga to help and he reluctantly agrees because they are broke.

When the Remnants next attack, their Alpha comes with them to raid. Morro deals with the Warriors while Ranga faces off against the Alpha. Unlike the others, the Alpha's mask hasn't fully fused to their face, they have Shatterspin armor, and they can use the type of Shatterspin that a Wolf Mask provides. The Alpha's attacks are strong and relentless, but wild and uncoordinated.

During the fight, Ranga reaches his True Potential and discovers he's the Master of Electricity by switching his goal from beating the Alpha to saving him by removing the mask, accepting the part of himself that wants to help people instead of hiding it away out of fear of being left behind again. When he's pinned down by the Alpha, he absorbs the electricity of the village and uses it to subdue the Alpha, knocking them out. Ranga removes the Mask and the Alpha is revealed to be Cinder.

When Cinder awakens a day or two later, he's hostile to Ranga and Morro but explains his situation (Details TBD, but excessive use of the Wolf Masks made him lose control and his memory becomes hazy).

Ranga and Morro talk and decide that if left alone, Cinder will just keep using a Wolf Mask and eventually fully succumb to the Wolf Mask. They decide to train him in their way of Shatterspin in the hopes of leading him down a better path. Cinder jumps at the chance at learning the Five's true techniques, but Ranga warns him that he's teaching him HIS way of Shatterspin and that he must follow everything he says to the letter, much to Cinder's chagrin.

After talking to Ranga about finding his True Potential, Morro decides to follow a feeling he's been having and the trio decides to set out towards an area that has been experiencing bad storms ever since the Merge.

On their way to the storm, Ranga and Morro train Cinder, starting with getting him to calm down and learn patience and control. They give him an incense lantern on the end of a chain (like in his concept art) to learn discipline. At first Cinder thinks its stupid and beneath him, but reluctantly comes around when Ranga explains a storm that happens only once a decade is more destructive than a storm that happens every week because the people affected have less experience on how to deal with it. This Incense chain eventually becomes Cinder's weapon of choice, along with two Scimitars.

Eventually when they reach the edge of the Storm-lands, they explain their mission to a village leader who explains that the eye of the storm is the peak of a nearby mountain and offers them a reward if they can stop the storm that wrecks havoc on them constantly.

At the top of the mountain, the trio finds the Storm Amulet that went missing along with Wojira at the end of Seabound. Morro keeps it and learns that because he is the Former Master of Wind, he can tap into the powers of the Amulet as long as he keeps the Amulet on him (in this AU, the Amulet is only about 4 inches in diameter instead of the size of someone's entire torso).

After the mission is over, the trio decide to keep traveling together and helping the people of the Merged Lands, officially forming the Shatter Squad.

Eventually I wanna add two other members to Shatter Squad to mirror the Forbidden Five, but who those members are is TBD. The only other non-OC character I can think of adding is Jordana as the resident Magic User who can use Shatterspin due to Rox possessing her, but DR seems to already be doing something with her so I'm not confident in adding her just yet.

And that's it! Feel free to tell me what you think or to suggest some ideas of your own!

Now that attention from my recent "Evil Jay" post has died down a bit...

Damn, I was NOT expecting that to blow up like it did. Broke my previous note record by almost triple. Truly amazing! However, the popularity of this post also kind of unintentionally proved something to me, and now I'm curious to take it a step further. However, just keep in mind that since we have no idea where the future of Dragons Rising is headed, all of this could change in an instant. With that said, here it is:

People seem really desperate at this point to get Jay back to the Ninja with his memories and soul intact. And since this show is primarily designed to sell Lego products, I doubt they wouldn't bring the status quo back to some level of normalcy for Ninjago. However, as I've seen with many posts aside from my own, people are having a lot of fun with this "Evil Jay" and want there to be some sort of consequence for all this happening.

Therefore, I propose this idea. What if whatever process ends up happening to bring back Jay also has a side effect? Because this one body of the Master of Lightning basically has two different people with two drastically differing life experiences, this side effect basically splits Jay into two people, regular ol' pre-merge Jay that everyone knows and loves and his now his post-merge doppelganger self! Neither have any memory of their time as the other, and we can have Jay both back with the Ninja and out there roaming around doing whatever non-canonical adventure comes up at the same time! Like having your cake and eating it too!

Again, no one knows how this Evil Jay plot is going to end up so maybe a year from now this post will seem absolutely ridiculous, but its fun to dream, and theorize, and write angsty fan-fiction about emotionally damaged wolf boys with electric powers!

If anyone wants to take this idea and use it for their own purposes, go ahead! All I ask is that you let me know about it, cause I like reading that kinda stuff. But, here are some ideas I've had for this character if you wanna know my take on it! My very own sudo "OC" if you will:

This new doppelganger's name is "Ranga", and its one I've used in my fan fiction. I explained my reasoning in another post, but it comes from an anime character who is a wolf that can control storms, and I think it's fitting for a former Master of Lightning and Wolf Clan member. He might also keep the last name "Walker", idk

His new body is that of a Formling who can change into a dark blue wolf with neon blue highlights. His human form is nearly identical to Jay's except for any newly obtained scars, dark bags under his eyes, and very obvious wolf ears and a tail

Once in his new body, be becomes the Elemental Master of Electricity. It's very similar to Lightning, like with Heat and Fire, but with some major caveats. Electricity is weaker than Lightning and he can't generate any on his own, but he can pull from anything with power running through it and it's much easier to control the output. This better control over output makes it better for stunning people and controlling various electrical systems than Lightning.

Overall has a pretty negative opinion of the Ninja and most other people (because of the whole "no one wants me" thing in my last post), with the exception of Jay who tries pretty hard to win him over, since this is the first person he's met who could be considered a biological relative of his.

Over time, his opinion of the Ninja would probably soften a bit (with the exception of Nya for the drama and maybe an unrequited crush thing going on), but he still has enough of a chip on his shoulder to never want to become an official Ninja.

And that's it! If you have any questions or have any opinions about "Evil Jay", I would absolutely love to hear them!

[royonninjago]

#great post that connects well with my Evil Jay post #you know, the one about no one wanting him for who he currently is

I hope that we see a moment where Jay just snaps.

What I mean is up until recently Jay hasn't had much of a say in his life post merge. He was forced to work under the administration for years and then Ras showed up, fed him a shit ton of lies to get him to join him and then was promptly dumped when he was deemed no longer useful and now he has the ninja following him around tryna get him to go with them because "that's where he belongs"

Jay has had NO say in his life recently and I hope that gets brought up

Sure u could say he chose to join Ras but that's also not true. Ras fed him lies and twisted the narrative so that Jay would do what HE wanted him to do. That's not a choice. That's him being tricked. Of course he would go with ras, ras "saved" him and "gave him a purpose" that he's lacked for years. But Ras also did all that by denying Jay the truth to his past and his relationship to the ninja. So Jay really didn't get a choice. It was more of an illusion of one.

So I want there to be a moment where he just snaps and yells at whomever is near (likely the ninja) and goes on and one about how he's just tired of everyone telling him who he should be or who he should follow.

When is he gonna have a front seat in the choices that involve HIM? When is he gonna be able to choose his own path without someone leaning over his shoudler telling him he made the wrong choice and that this is where he should be instead.

For the first time in his life post merge and post the tournament he's finally free. Now that he's not with the administration OR Ras he can finally make choices that HE wants. Choices that aren't influenced by another and I think mentioning that is important too

Im ranting i dunno I just think something like that would be impactful cuz it's true. He really HASNT had much of a choice in what happens in his life recently and I feel like that's important to mention especially for amnesiacs

[royonninjago]

Evil Jay is Kinda a Sad Character, but Maybe Not in the Way You Think

When a lot of people think of the inherent tragedy of Post-Merge Jay, many of the common things they point too is the loneliness, isolation, and loss of everything he used to care about due to his amnesia. With good reason too, because its not just tragic how he used to have a wonderful life and he can't remember it or how he's in the worst possible position right now (alone and with a Shattered Soul, whatever that may entail), but its also tragic because everyone that cares about him are powerless to do anything to help. Even if they find him, I'm confident that its not gonna be as easy as a heartfelt reunion.

Something that I don't see many people talk about that I think is rich in that sweet, sweet angst and drama is the fact that right now, nobody wants Jay for who he is. It's an idea I've been thinking about a lot, and kinda why I'm so interested in the concept of this "Evil Jay".

What I mean about that is this... Nya and the other Ninja want the Jay they knew from before the Merge. Ras only wanted Jay to further stack the deck against the Ninja in the Tournament. Arin only wanted to go after Jay because he could have some insight on where his parents ended up after the Merge. And presumably, the Administration only wants/wanted Jay because he was a good enough Agent to get promoted to middle management.

The consensus of many fans seems to be that Jay has trouble with how he sees himself, but what about this version of Jay? When one of these parties eventually finds him, do you think they're gonna ask him how he's been or what he's been up to? Or do you think they're gonna try and get him to do something for them, whether that be giving up some information or becoming someone he doesn't remember?

Ras sees him as a tool to be used and discarded when needed, Arin sees him as a means to an end, The Administration most likely sees him as their property, and the Ninja see someone who he doesn't even remember being.

At this very moment, no one wants Jay Walker for who he is.
